（Chapter 137）Do You Have the Potential to Succeed?

As a treasure of Tianhua Sect, the 'Xuanmang Seal' is exceptional.

Although it's a heaven-level martial skill, its actual power can reach the mysterious level.

Such martial arts are invaluable to Lin Chen at present.

Although Tun Tun could occasionally recall some martial arts skills as his bloodline was unsealed, the number was too limited.

As for martial arts, the more profound your understanding, the better.

With more martial arts, you have more options and versatility.

During combat, you have more choices and can adapt to changes, making you less susceptible to being targeted.

"Buzz!"

When Lin Chen immersed himself in it, the 'Xuanmang Seal' rubbing in his hand emitted a pure light.

Texts continuously appeared in his mind.

The quality of this rubbing is excellent, and it should have been specially awarded to core disciples of the inner sect for their cultivation.

Even someone as powerful as Hu Mu has never cultivated it.

Considering its potential value, the 'Xuanmang Seal' must be highly valuable.

Otherwise, he wouldn't offer it as a stake in a gamble against his thousand four-marked jade pieces.

Lin Chen's mind raced as he absorbed the information.

"The reason why this 'Xuanmang Seal' is so valuable is that it's a martial art that can be practiced in conjunction with spirit beasts!"

A flash of excitement crossed Lin Chen's eyes.

Martial arts come in two types: those that can only be practiced by the practitioner and those that can be practiced with a spirit beast.

The latter is naturally more valuable!

"The principle of this 'Xuanmang Seal' is to continuously compress spiritual energy in the body, condensing it into a hand seal. It is extremely powerful and domineering, following a fierce and aggressive path. When used in battle, few can withstand it."

Lin Chen flipped through the rubbings while reflecting on the information.

The more he read, the more excited he became.

However, this 'Xuanmang Seal' also has a drawback. It requires a strong physique and stable meridians.

Otherwise, the violent spiritual energy can easily burst one's own meridians!

Fortunately, Lin Chen possesses the 'Ten Thousand Trees Physique,' and his physique is so powerful that it surpasses even those who specialize in body refinement.

This 'Xuanmang Seal' is simply a match made in heaven for him!

After calming down, Lin Chen closed his eyes and began to practice.

According to the records in the rubbings, he actively guided a stream of spiritual energy to circulate within his meridians.

This process is extremely time-consuming.

Its purpose is to widen the meridians, allowing them to withstand the erosion of the violent spiritual energy.

However, Lin Chen could skip this step and practice directly!

In the past, Tun Tun had helped Lin Chen to widen his meridians, making them extremely wide, capable of accommodating spiritual energy of any quantity or intensity. The most difficult part of practicing the 'Xuanmang Seal' is this step of widening the meridians!

Over the years, countless geniuses have dedicated themselves to broadening their meridians.

"You've mastered it so quickly?"

Surprise flashed in Lin Chen's eyes.

In less than the time it took to drink a cup of tea, he was able to condense spiritual energy according to the records in the rubbings.

From his meridians, a stream of spiritual energy condensed and formed in his palm.

Under continuous compression, the spiritual energy gradually took the shape of a handprint, emitting a hissing sound.

"Drink!"

Lin Chen shouted, forming the handprint!

"Boom!"

The handprint exploded, causing the void before him to collapse.

Waves oscillated and the aura was powerful.

"The power is so strong!"

A gleam of light involuntarily flashed across Lin Chen's eyes.

This was only the beginning. If he continued to practice like this, he would definitely master this move to perfection!

Combined with the 'Battle Soul Trample,' Lin Chen's combat power against enemies would be formidable.

…

…

Night passed.

Lin Chen had been practicing all night.

In the morning, when he opened his eyes, there was no trace of fatigue, only deep excitement.

"Last night's efforts weren't in vain."

Lin Chen stretched his body, and his eyes sparkled.

If he continued at this rate, he would definitely significantly increase his combat power in a short period of time.

Meanwhile, Tun Tun held its round belly, burping.

"Hiccup, Lin Chen, you're heartless. You made me eat spiritual jade all night! You're killing me!"

Tun Tun was both in pain and delighted.

Although it was a little exhausting, it was really satisfying!

Lin Chen really couldn't appreciate the taste of spiritual jade.

"What happened?"

Lin Chen stepped forward and extended his hand to hold Tun Tun.

The meridians of the two of them were connected, and Lin Chen immediately sensed the results of Tun Tun's night's efforts.

When his consciousness entered Tun Tun's meridians, he was instantly shocked.

What a terrifying aura!

The spiritual energy in Tun Tun's body flowed like a river, continuous and inexhaustible.

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll take you to have a feast later!"

Lin Chen took a deep breath, becoming increasingly excited.

"Boom!"

With a muffled sound, a bridge was established between the two of them, and spiritual energy began to flow.

Lin Chen was once again enveloped by a brilliant aura!

A servant entered the courtyard, intending to invite Lin Chen for breakfast.

Suddenly, a surge of spiritual energy erupted from inside the door, accompanied by a continuous roar!

"Crack!"

A fissure appeared in the void, and thick waves of air burst forth from the room.

The servant trembled, his eyes filled with shock.

"This... this aura..."

He gasped, saying in disbelief, "His realm has improved!"

In that moment, Lin Chen had broken through the eighth level of the Earth Spirit Realm, reaching the ninth level.

He had been stuck at the eighth level of the Earth Spirit Realm for a long time, but despite his efforts, he had been unable to make a breakthrough.

Now, taking advantage of this opportunity, he had charged forward with a single leap!

"Incredible!"

In the room, Lin Chen couldn't help but laugh.

He felt increasingly comfortable.

Only two levels separated him from the Heaven Spirit Realm.

After learning that there were 'awakening skills,' Lin Chen's anticipation grew.

When he reached the Heaven Spirit Realm, what kind of 'awakening skill' would Tun Tun master?

With its powerful bloodline, its 'awakening skill' would definitely be extraordinary!

"Master Lin, Young Master Chu... has sent word... for you to go and have breakfast."

Outside, the servant's voice was filled with caution.

"Alright!"

Lin Chen nodded. Although he hadn't slept that night, he felt exceptionally energetic.

Both his body and his mind were at their peak.

The courtyard was filled with exquisite pastries, porridge, and various dairy products.

Chu Hao sat there with a smile on his face, "Congratulations on your breakthrough. Having reached the ninth level of the Earth Spirit Realm, you are not far from the Heaven Spirit Realm."

"You must quickly cultivate to the Heaven Spirit Realm, or you will not be able to compete with the geniuses of the Eastern Origin Domain!"

Lin Chen smiled and sat down at the stone table.

"It smells so good, so good!"

Tun Tun had been asleep on Lin Chen's shoulder when it suddenly caught a whiff of the aroma and jumped up.

As it spotted the table filled with exquisite pastries, its eyes widened.

"I want to eat! I want to eat!"

Tun Tun jumped onto the table and began to indulge itself.

"Didn't you just claim that you were dying?"

Lin Chen's expression turned to one of disdain, "Do you have any willpower at all?"

Tun Tun rolled its eyes, "I don't."
