Level Up in Martial World

Lu Zhen's brows furrowed with displeasure.

Seeing the frown on Lu Zhen's face, the guardian hurriedly explained.

"For you to inherit the inheritance, there still needs to be a trial that must be conducted. If you don't complete the trial, it will be impossible for you to receive the inheritance. Don't worry; with your talent, it is definitely possible."

"Then what about the things you mentioned?" Lu Zhen asked lightly.

"That was a trial key to open the true inheritance. As long as you can comprehend a single part of the Qi signature, you will be able to access the true inheritance."

"Hmm." Lu Zhen nodded his head.

"There have been many people who came to seek our inheritance; however, most fail at the first step, and not many have even passed this initial stage," the guardian spoke with a hint of depression.

"You mean to say that there are other people who have entered this inheritance space other than us?" Lu Zhen was a little shocked.

"Did you really think you were some special being throughout the countless times you could find this place? Since ancient times, many martial artists have come to this inheritance cave through numerous entrances. However, they are probably all dead by now, and some of them could even comprehend a part of the Qi signature."

Lu Zhen narrowed his eyes. It seemed that this inheritance cave was much older than he had imagined.

From what he could infer, there wasn't just a single entrance to this cave, but seeing that it was still open and ownerless, it indicated that all the martial artists who had come so far had failed and had not truly inherited this cave.

"How many martial artists have comprehended this Qi signature, old man?" Lu Zhen asked lightly.

"Three martial artists throughout the entire history, but none of them could comprehend it like you. They barely understood one-hundredth of it, barely taking a step forward in this field," the guardian said, giving Lu Zhen a deep look.

"I see." Lu Zhen nodded. He wasn't conceited; without this system, it would have been impossible for him to comprehend this Qi signature to such an extent.

Even with the mana strengthening his soul, the most he could have achieved was similar to those three people—barely comprehending one percent at most.

"Here." The guardian handed Lu Zhen a black stone.

"What is this?" Lu Zhen narrowed his eyes. There was a familiar Qi pattern in the black stone, but something seemed off about it.

The pattern of this Qi seemed to be similar as before; however, its use seemed different, as if it were sealing something inside it.

Lu Zhen couldn't describe this feeling but there was definitely something in different about its purpose

"Hmm?" He curiously began to decipher the stone, not even glancing at the guardian.

"This is our entire inheritance. As long as you can decipher the Qi pattern, you can reverse-engineer it and gain the inheritance," the guardian said, his eyes filled with amusement.

He didn't truly believe that this person before him had comprehended half the Qi patterns and these Qi patterns were related to Space. How could it be so easy?

Many people had come before Lu Zhen and it wasn't uncommon to lie about their progress, and the guardian himself was also sceptical. For these people, their fate was naturally death!

Lu Zhen didn't care about the old man's thoughts and focused on deciphering the Qi patterns.

After an hour, he slowly opened his eyes.

"There are a total of thirty-three seals at this level. I can open at most sixteen seals," Lu Zhen quickly estimated after analysing the entire seals in these Qi patterns.

"What happened, kid? Can't you reverse the Qi patterns?" The guardian's eyes narrowed with a strong killing intent, and the terrifying pressure reappeared.

"Relax," Lu Zhen said calmly. "I was examining the seals of the Qi patterns and found that there are thirty-three seals."

"This…" The guardian narrowed his eyes. "That is correct."

After all, he was an old monster himself; not many things could affect his temperament.

Only Lu Zhen's claim of having already comprehended half the Qi patterns had made him tremble.

Because this was an unimaginable thought.

"I found even a little extra seal."

"Brat, you mean there are thirty-four seals?"

"You are right." Lu Zhen nodded slightly. "Although I haven't comprehended that part yet, I can tell that each seal denotes three percent. So, with thirty-three seals, that means ninety-nine percent of the Qi pattern. But where is the last one percent?"

"You are right," the old man nodded with a thoughtful expression. "But isn't that only your theory?"

"I will show you then, old man." Lu Zhen spoke confidently.

He could already determine the strength of this guardian; it was definitely at the peak of the first-stage martial realm.

Although Lu Zhen himself was a mid-first-stage martial artist, it would still take him a lot of time to reach the peak of the First-stage martial realm.

"Show it to me then." The guardian looked at Lu Zhen sceptically.

"Alright." Lu Zhen nodded and began to slowly open the seals.

"The first seal should take around half an hour to reverse—" The guardian froze in place as a bright light shone from the stone in under a minute.

"He has already unlocked the first seal. Did he really comprehend half of the Qi patterns?"

Lu Zhen wasn't interested in the guardian's thoughts; his mind was solely focused on unlocking the seals.

The moment he unlocked the first seal, numerous pieces of information appeared in Lu Zhen's mind.

For his consciousness, this kind of influx wasn't a problem at all; he calmly analysed the information completely.

"Maths?" Lu Zhen's expression turned strange as he looked at all this information. It was maths, but not the simple kind from the blue planet; it was incredibly complex. As long as he pieced it together, a purpose would be fulfilled.

Lu Zhen extended his hand.

"Old man, escape this if you can."

The guardian's eyes widened in shock as the ground began to tremble.

The soil and rocks started to levitate, slowly drawn towards Lu Zhen's outstretched hand as if by an invisible force.

Trees uprooted themselves from the earth, their roots twisting and writhing as they were pulled skyward.

The sky above seemed to fragment and collapse, as if reality itself was being drawn into a vortex centred on Lu Zhen's palm.

The very fabric of reality appeared to disintegrate, the landscape around him warping and twisting in a display of chaotic energy. It was as if the world was being torn apart by the force of his power.

"This is…"

Lu Zhen looked at the devastation with his scalp tingling, a mix of awe and trepidation coursing through him.

"Why did you use that, brat?"

"I didn't expect it to be this terrifying," Lu Zhen muttered, his voice tinged with disbelief.

All he had done was circulate the Qi in his body according to the complex mathematics provided by the information.

As a result, nearly half of his entire Qi supply had vanished, yet the outcome was this overwhelming display of destructive power.

"This is the first formula: Singularity Palm," Lu Zhen thought to himself.

He muttered in awe, "This formula is truly indescribable."

"Don't get too excited, little brat," the guardian's voice interrupted. "This space is much weaker than the real world. In the true world, using this formula wouldn't cause such an exaggerated scene of destruction."
