【Name: Gu Mingchuan】

[Level: Level 7]

[Discipline Points: 447918 (Note: If you observe the precepts for one day, you will gain discipline points*difficulty coefficient)]

【功法：《红尘渡世法》第七层（92/100000），玄水真功第九层（35/200000+），金刚不灭神功第八层（1/50000+）】

[Martial Arts: Five Elements Boxing (Mastery (422/500+), Liaoyun Sword Skill (Mastery), Breaking Dawn Sword Skill (Entry Level (1000/1000+)]

Gu Mingchuan felt relieved when he saw that his discipline points exceeded 400,000.

It is worthwhile to sacrifice the "PC game".

"bring it on."

Gangyuan realm!
He added all 200,000 discipline points to the Xuanshui Zhengong in one breath.

Suddenly, a terrifying force emerged from his dantian, almost bursting it.

Every time the true qi reaches a critical point, the dantian will suddenly contract and compress the true qi.

This process is repeated continuously.

After being compressed forty-nine times, the true energy in his body has changed from "gaseous" to "liquid".

This is also a sign of his promotion to the Gangyuan realm.

Gu Mingchuan opened his eyes, and a terrifying light flashed across his eyes.

He raised his hand and lightly stroked with his calloused fingers.

With a chi sound, a dark sword energy flashed by, slashed on the wooden window, and penetrated directly through it like cutting tofu.

This is the Gang Qi.

This power is simply one in the sky and one on the ground compared to the true Qi realm.

Now, he can take someone's life from a distance with just a flick of his finger. His status is much more powerful than before.

Gu Mingchuan glanced at the panel, [Xuanshui Zhengong Tenth Level (0/300000+)]

The next level requires three hundred thousand discipline points.

He counted silently in his mind and figured that by the next upgrade, which would be about a month later, it shouldn't be a problem to save up 300,000 Discipline Points.

After reaching the Gangyuan realm, more and more discipline points will be needed. It is definitely impossible to break through a realm in ten days or half a month as before.

It will take at least a month.

…………

Next.

Gu Mingchuan looked at the Dawn Breaking Sword Technique. This Gangyuan-level sword technique finally had a "+" at the end. This meant that he could add points directly.

He added a little first.

Many knife-using techniques came to my mind.

"Dawn Sword Skill" became [Proficient (1/2000+)].

Next, Gu Mingchuan improved his proficiency by one point every other day, and with the addition of two thousand discipline points, it became [Mastery (1/10000+)].

Ten thousand discipline points became [Great Accomplishment (1/100000+)].

It takes 100,000 discipline points to reach the level of "perfection".

Gu Mingchuan hesitated for a moment and took a look at the balance, which was still 241968. He decided not to add "Dawn Breaking Sword Technique" for now.

The level of great success is enough.

He decided to add the discipline points to more useful places and upgrade the "Vajra Indestructible Divine Art" to the tenth level, which only required 250,000 discipline points.

In three days, I will have saved enough.

Cultivating both the inner and outer realms is not as simple as one plus one equals two. His combat power will far exceed that of an ordinary Gang Yuan realm cultivator.

Gu Mingchuan no longer hesitated and added 50,000 points first, upgrading the "Vajra Indestructible Divine Art" to the ninth level.

The process of breaking through is like torture, like having ten million ants gnawing at your body.

When it was all over, he didn't know how he had survived.

"No wonder no one practices this crappy technique. Besides being a waste of money, it also requires self-torture."

Gu Mingchuan didn't even dare to imagine what kind of torture he would suffer when he broke through to the tenth level.

……

…………

Jiuxianlou.

In a private room, Li Mansong was drunk. "Pour it, fill my glass up..."

At the side, a servant was helping to pour the wine tremblingly and didn't dare to persuade others.

Before, Li Mansong’s personal servant was beaten to death when he tried to persuade him.

The window in the box was open and the sound of discussions downstairs could be heard.

"It turns out that the genius of the Gu family is actually an ascetic monk. His aptitude was mediocre at first, but after becoming an ascetic monk, his cultivation level improved by leaps and bounds..."

"I knew it. This person was unknown before. It's like he appeared out of nowhere. If he was really a genius, he would have become famous long ago."

"My dear brother, what exactly is this ascetic monk?"

"Yes, I've heard you talk about this ascetic monk these past few days. What kind of ascetic practice is this? Why can it make a person with average talent improve his cultivation by leaps and bounds?"

"I heard that one has to practice an evil skill and abandon all emotions in exchange for powerful strength."

"Is it so weird?"

"Not only that, I heard that all those who practice this evil skill will eventually become a living dead. They will lock themselves in a cave without sunlight, not eating or drinking, not talking or moving, and will not move until the family's life or death is at stake..."

……"boom!"

The door of the box was pushed open, and a stern young man walked in, with a long sword tied around his waist. His whole temperament was as sharp as a sword.

He saw Li Mansong in the box, who looked like a pile of mud, with his brows slightly furrowed.

"Young Master."

When the servant saw the person coming, he was so excited that he almost cried, as if he had seen his savior.

This cold-faced young man is the eldest son of the Li family, Li Manjin, the champion of the last Minglong Martial Arts Competition. After two years of seclusion, he has broken through to the Gangyuan Realm.

This is a true genius, who is highly regarded by the entire Li family and has the potential to become a future master.

Li Manjin said coldly, "Go get a bucket of cold water."

"Yes."

After a while, the servant came over with a bucket of water.

A loud bang.

A bucket of water was poured on Li Mansong's face.

"Who?"

Li Mansong was stunned, then flew into a rage. He slammed the table and was about to explode. When he saw the person standing in front of him, his face changed, "Big... Big Brother..."

Li Manjin said coldly, "Second brother, you disappoint me so much. You just lost a game and you are so depressed that you get drunk here every day. You have made the Li family a laughing stock!"

Li Mansong blushed with shame and lowered his head, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into.

From childhood to adulthood, the person he feared the most was this elder brother.

I have always taken this elder brother as my role model.

Until a month ago, he was defeated by Gu Mingchuan, making him the laughing stock of the entire Minglong City. Being defeated by someone with a lower realm than himself was a huge blow to the proud him.

He didn't want to face it.

Suddenly, Li Manjin said, "Take your sword and follow me."

Li Mansong asked in confusion, "Where...?"

"Go and kill that kid named Gu."

"But……"

"This man has become your inner demon. You will never be able to get rid of him unless you kill him yourself. Don't worry, I will help you."

"How do I tell Grandpa..."

"It's just killing a monk. I don't think the Gu family would dare to turn against my Li family."

Li Manjin sneered.

Li Mansong looked at his elder brother's majestic figure, and suddenly tightened his grip on the sword. A voice in his heart grew louder and louder, "Kill him, kill him, kill him..."

Finally, a fire ignited in his eyes.

Yes, as long as he kills that man, he can wash away the humiliation and still be the pride of the Li family!

……

On the other side, not far from Gu Mingchuan's home.

In a carriage, Gu Mingjie asked Gu Minglan, who was riding with him, in confusion, "Sister, don't you dislike Third Brother? Why did you follow me?"

Gu Minglan said solemnly, "You know, except for Minglong City, all branches of my Gu family in Jiangzhou have been seized by others."

"What? Is there any law here?"

"The king's law? Humph! Only someone as naive as you would believe in the king's law. Xiaojie, our Gu family is now at a critical juncture of life and death. The only solution now is to get the complete version of "Xiantian Wuji Gong" as soon as possible. No matter what, we must persuade him..."

As she was speaking, she suddenly felt something in her heart. She lifted the car curtain and looked out, and saw two figures standing in front of Gu Mingchuan's house.

Gu Minglan recognized the two men and her face changed. "Oh no! It's Li Manjin and Li Mansong! They must be here to kill Gu Mingchuan. Go back and ask for help immediately."

"what?"

Gu Mingjie was still in a daze when he heard a deafening voice, "Gu Mingchuan, come out and die!"

A look of pain appeared on his face and he covered his ears hard.

"Gang Yuan Realm!"

Gu Minglan's face changed drastically, and she felt like she was falling into an ice cellar.

Finished!

Li Manjin actually broke through to the Gangyuan realm!

The gap between Gangyuan Realm and Zhenqi Realm was like a chasm. Even if Gu Mingchuan successfully broke through to Zhenqi Level 9, he would never be a match for Li Manjin.

Once Gu Mingchuan dies, the future of the Gu family will be ruined.

She was filled with despair.

……

In the yard, Gu Mingchuan was playing chess with Su Lingshuang.

He had never learned Go before, but he knew the rules roughly. Recently, he has been learning from Su Lingshuang. After all, Su Lingshuang was a top student with a score of over 600 in the college entrance examination. He had a high IQ and learned very quickly.

After playing for more than a month, he was able to play against Su Lingshuang evenly and no longer needed her to give in.

At this moment, a big dragon that was about to kill Su Lingshuang in the middle of the game suddenly shouted, "Gu Mingchuan, come out and die!"

It startled him.

Here comes the troublemaker.

Gu Mingchuan looked up at Su Lingshuang and saw her covering her ears in pain. A hint of anger flashed in her eyes. He said, "I'll be back soon."

As he spoke, he took the knife beside him, jumped into the air, and leaped out of the yard.

Su Lingshuang hurriedly said, "Erlang, be careful and don't get hurt."

Gu Mingchuan's voice reached her ears, "Don't worry, they are just two clowns. Think about it first, what is the next move?"

Su Lingshuang had no time to play chess at this moment. She was worried and was about to go out to take a look.

An old woman suddenly appeared behind her, held her shoulders, and said, "Don't worry, he can handle it."

Su Lingshuang looked at the old woman behind her in surprise, "Grandma Yu, what do you mean..."

Granny Yu nodded silently.
