Level Up in Martial World-Chapter 337: Escaped, Seventeenth Seal Broken

A light flashed in the forest as Lu Zhen finally lowered his arms and stood up casually.

"You’re my servant now, but I don’t actually care about you. Do whatever you want; this is only for keeping my bloodline safe. As long as you can do that, I don’t mind what you do." Lu Zhen looked into Jui Luli’s eyes, which flashed with hatred and anger.

"Weren’t you the one who probed me for no reason? If you hadn’t, none of this would’ve happened." He paused. "When I’m strong enough, I’ll free you."

"Do you think I’ll believe that lie?" Jui Luli sneered.

"I’m not kidding."

Lu Zhen shrugged casually and walked off, silently pursuing the enemy.

Jui Luli also stood up and followed him with a cold, silent expression.

Soon they came to a halt.

"I can’t sense him any longer," Lu Zhen said with a frown.

Jui Luli paused as well, then looked around the place silently.

"There," she pointed at the ground.

Lu Zhen immediately moved, using his sword to lightly slash at the ground.

Boom!

The soil heaved as the shadow flashed past, swiftly running away.

"Do you think you can run?" Lu Zhen sneered, slightly slashing with his sword.

A sword arc flew, but strangely, this sword arm felt like it had the power of the saber, the piercing power of the spear, the flexibility of a chain, and the brutal force of a staff.

This arc integrated all the principles of weaponry.

Boom!

It was as if the world had collapsed in place; even space seemed to slightly tear as the sword arc travelled in an increasing pace, hitting the shadow squarely on its back.

Ahhhh—

A bloodcurdling scream resounded throughout the surroundings, causing the ground to shake just from the terrifying sound.

But the shadow didn’t stop; using the momentum created by the arc, he flew even faster.

In just a moment, the shadow was already out of their sight.

"Hmm?"

Lu Zhen glanced at the fleeting back of the shadow and couldn’t help but frown, his eyes narrowing with a hint of pity. "Unfortunately, I couldn’t completely kill that guy."

Killing a martial artist, especially a First-stage Martial Artist, was not easy, particularly if they were hell-bent on escaping. Now that he could use his Qi as well as his intent, all he had to rely on was his body and the system skills.

"He already knows my face; I guess I will face more trouble when I reach outside this forest." His heart was bitter, unless he was absolutely confident Lu Zhen actually didn’t want any trouble.

You only get one chance at life! If you lose that then everything is the end of it!

Lu Zhen turned behind and then silently went away without speaking much.

Jui Luli looked off in the distance as she glanced at Lu Zhen’s back with a chuckle: "You are also in trouble now, bastard."

She was a little angry that her fate was in the hands of Lu Zhen now, although he saved her but at the same time betrayed her, although the reason for this was also because she was probing him.

So there was a mixed feeling in her heart, and she couldn’t exactly determine what to say or even feel.

"Sigh."

She silently went back into the carriage, and their caravan traveled quietly along the rocky roads, making little sound.

Days seemed to pass in the blink of an eye as another week went by. Lu Zhen was still there, slowly meditating with his eyes closed, seemingly unaffected by the world around him.

Nothing externally could disturb Lu Zhen; his mind was focused.

At this time, his brows slowly began to twitch, and his body vibrated strangely, resonating with what felt like a humming tune.

Veins bulge across his forehead, creating a grotesque scene as his muscles expand rapidly.

Lu Zhen’s bulky frame swelled to a monstrous size, only to slowly contract back to its original form.

With his eyes closed, Lu Zhen saw a vision of a chain, its links slowly breaking apart, crack by crack, until it suddenly shattered in just one final moment.

An overwhelming flood of information surged into his mind.

The sheer volume of it was staggering, and a sharp pain instantly shot through his head.

Then, as the information appeared, strange changes began in his heart.

His heart, where he had inscribed a circle, as well as the heart meridian connected to the dantian for storing his demonic Qi, started to feel different.

"This… this is mana?" Lu Zhen thought, hurriedly supplying this mana to his circle, gradually enriching it in a slow manner.

Although he was quite confused, he wouldn’t let such a wonderful opportunity go to waste.

At this point, Lu Zhen was multitasking; on one hand, he was digesting the vast amount of information in his mind, while on the other hand, he was controlling the mana to enrich the circle.

At this time, he was a First Circle Mage, which was equivalent to a Third-stage Martial Artist. To reach the Second Circle Mage level, the process was relatively simple: nourish the first circle and reach its limits before engraving another, larger circle.

The mana in this stone was just too vast, and in a moment, Lu Zhen was already able to reach the peak of the First Circle.

Then, Lu Zhen promptly stopped digesting the information, focusing solely on engraving the next circle, which was terrifyingly difficult to inscribe.

If there was a single mistake, he might not only fail but also completely cripple his mage cultivation.

As Lu Zhen slowly channelled the mana to inscribe another circle, prompts began to appear in the corner of his vision, but he directly ignored them. Still, he could feel the benefits; it was now easier to inscribe the circle, and his pace increased significantly.

Lu Zhen was still calm in his heart and all his attention was still on the circle.

Slowly he drew a circle within the circle using the mana.
