Trillionaire's Slice of Life-Chapter 1125 - 703: A Chance to Reach the Sky in One Step

Chapter 1125 -703: A Chance to Reach the Sky in One Step

A-rank and Half-step Grandmaster, the difference is only one level, but the gap between these two realms of martial artists is heaven and earth apart, similar to the advancement from a mid-level Great Grandmaster to a high-level Great Grandmaster.

Looking across the entire Hua Country, there may be thousands of A-rank martial artists, but only a few hundred have reached the level of Half-step Grandmaster.

If being an A-rank martial artist is the limit ordinary people can reach, then becoming a Half-step Grandmaster requires certain luck and absolute talent.

It is recognized in the martial arts world that any ordinary person with tremendous perseverance, even if his aptitude is average, can definitely reach the A-rank as a martial artist, it’s just a matter of time. Of course, those less gifted may take longer, but nonetheless, the A-rank is tangible and attainable for ordinary people.

But to take a step further and reach Half-step Grandmaster is not something ordinary people can achieve through effort and perseverance alone.

The biggest difference between a Half-step Grandmaster and an A-rank expert is whether one can condense Innate True Qi within the body, which is the mark of a Half-step Grandmaster. Similarly, there is another hurdle between Half-step Grandmaster and a true Martial Arts Great Grandmaster, known as the Earthly Barrier.

Normally, Wu Youyou has exceptional talent, even considered a martial arts prodigy once in a hundred years, and she has laid a solid foundation from a young age. Her father, Wu Kunpeng, is an incredibly powerful Half-step Grandmaster, and Wu Youyou has lived in numerous academies since childhood, essentially growing up in a world of martial arts.

Because of this, she managed to reach A-rank at eighteen and then under the personal guidance of Great Grandmaster Qin Lan, she accumulated knowledge and made a push, advancing to mid-A-rank in six months.

However, even so, for Wu Youyou to reach Half-step Grandmaster is still a distant goal. Even with her exceptional talent and the teaching of Great Grandmaster Qin Lan, it might take three to five years, under the best circumstances. Any slight mishap along the way could see Wu Youyou stuck at A-rank for life.

After all, advancing to Half-step Grandmaster is not only about effort and talent; it also requires certain opportunities. Without the right timing, many may be trapped at this level for their lifetime.

However, Chu Mo is unaware of one thing: Wu Youyou no longer needs to advance to a Half-step Grandmaster because she has practiced the same cultivation technique as Qin Lan, the Nine Revolutions Divine Technique.

This chapter is updated by freēwēbnovel.com.

Wu Youyou only needs to do as Qin Lan – when she reaches high A-rank, she will disperse her cultivation and then start anew from the lowest D-rank. When she reaches the peak of A-rank for the ninth time, she can try to break through. Once successful, Wu Youyou will automatically surpass the Earthly Barrier, reaching the realm of Grandmaster in one go.

Of course, this might take a very long time; for instance, Qin Lan took sixty to seventy years to reach her current realm.

For Wu Youyou, it might take decades as well.

At this moment, as Chu Mo watches the True Qi surrounding Wu Youyou, he is genuinely happy for her. However, he then sees the young man opposite revealing a sinister smile. Narrowing his eyes slightly, he speaks in a chilling voice:

“Little girl, don’t be too happy just yet. You are cultivating the Nine Revolutions Divine Technique, originally dispersing at the peak of A-rank would directly take you to mid-level Great Grandmaster after nine times. But now, your strength has already reached Half-step Grandmaster, you only need to cultivate to the peak of Half-step Grandmaster before your first dispersal! It means, you need to cultivate nine times at the peak of Half-step Grandmaster, and once successful, you will reach the pinnacle-level high Great Grandmaster, or even become a Half-step Celestial God like me.

Of course, if you are more ruthless, break through the Earthly Barrier when you reach the peak of a lower Great Grandmaster, and after dispersing nine times, you would certainly become a true Martial Arts Great Grandmaster! However, this possibility is completely nonexistent; Half-step Grandmaster is already your limit, I am curious to see your grandeur when you try to break through a century later, haha!”

A man named Tianya, a Half-step Celestial God, reveals a wild smile. Just then, Wu Youyou, who has just advanced, finally masters the flow of Innate True Qi inside her body. Despite the True Qi being weak, it signifies her official entry into the Half-step Grandmaster.

An eighteen-year-old Half-step Grandmaster, this has surely set a new record as the youngest Half-step Grandmaster in the entirety of Hua Country.

Of course, this method of forcing growth is something that ordinary martial artists absolutely don’t attempt lightly, otherwise there is no turning back.

Take for example the heirs of the four great families; each of them has exceptional talent and has also reached the peak of A-rank. Nevertheless, as heads of the four great families, they did not forcibly boost the strength of their successors, like Wu Youyou facing Wei Xinran, who has reached the peak of A-rank, but Wei Zhengpin, the head of the Wei family, has not forcibly promoted her to Half-step Grandmaster.

Because once done, even if successful, Wei Xinran might never make any progress again.

The consequence of forcibly promoting to Half-step Grandmaster is that Wei Xinran’s Earthly Barrier would become even more solidified, and she would be forever stuck at Half-step Grandmaster, with no possibility of breaking through to Great Grandmaster.
