High Martial Arts: Enlightenment after Practices

All his insights on "weight," "traction," and "force fields" finally clicked into place.

He saw it. No, he didn’t see it—he "perceived" it.

In the space within a five-meter radius around him, countless invisible "lines" crisscrossed.

These lines represented the direction and strength of the Gravity Field. Previously hidden from view, they were now rendered with perfect clarity in his Heart Image’s perception.

Xu Wuyi could "see" every line trembling faintly, shifting with the fluctuations in space.

He could feel that with a single thought, he could pluck these lines, changing their direction and strengthening or weakening their intensity.

This was the microscopic structure of the Gravity Field. This was the essence of the Rules.

These weren’t laws of physics, but a cognitive projection of his Heart Image onto the Rules.

[Effective Cultivation has reached 1,000 repetitions today. You have received one "Great Enlightenment."]

As expected, a majestic torrent of insight flooded his mind.

But unlike before, what rushed into his mind this time wasn’t specific skills or Techniques, but a deeper understanding of the concept of "Gravity" itself.

Weight is a shackle, a suppression—the force that draws all things back to the Earth.

But it can also be a pull, a guide—a "hand" that draws all things in a particular direction.

Taking it a step further, when this pull was deepened, refined, and made to cover an entire space, it formed a "Force Field"—a Domain completely under the caster’s control.

In the state of Great Enlightenment, Xu Wuyi "experienced" countless simulations of Gravity Manipulation.

He "saw" himself using a Gravity Field to bind his enemies, their movements becoming as sluggish as if they were trapped in a mire. He "saw" himself altering the direction of Gravity, throwing his enemies off balance. He "saw" himself creating a gravitational vortex that tore apart everything within its range...

Every scene was so real and clear it felt as if he had experienced it firsthand.

When the Great Enlightenment ended and Xu Wuyi opened his eyes again, his entire aura had changed dramatically.

The sharp edge he once projected had become more restrained, replaced by a profound sense of weight. Standing there, he seemed to be one with the Earth beneath his feet, as immovable as a boulder.

He raised the Liaoyuan Long Spear, and with a faint flicker of his thoughts...

...the Gravity Field in a three-meter radius around the spear’s shaft suddenly intensified fivefold!

The compressed air crackled, and spiderweb-like fissures appeared on the ground. If an enemy had been standing within that range, they would have found it difficult to even remain on their feet.

After five seconds, Xu Wuyi dispelled the Gravity Field.

With a flick of his wrist, he swept the spear horizontally.

This time, the direction of Gravity to the right of the spear’s shaft abruptly shifted from "down" to "left"!

An invisible Force Field took shape. Although it had not yet reached the level of a complete "Domain Field," it already possessed the rudimentary form of a Domain.

Within this Force Field, the direction of Gravity was entirely under Xu Wuyi’s control. An enemy would completely lose their sense of direction, finding it impossible even to stand.

Xu Wuyi drew back his spear and stood, letting out a long breath.

The data on his status panel had already updated:

[Martial Arts: Profound Nether Celestial Spear]

[Current Realm: Great Success (3.2%)]

’I finally reached Great Success.’

’Although I’ve only just entered the Great Success Realm and still have a long way to go before Perfection, this leap represents a qualitative transformation in my power.’

From this day forward, he was no longer merely "imitating" Gravity; he was beginning to truly "control" it.

’Time to test its power.’

Xu Wuyi walked out of the Cultivation Room and went to the testing grounds behind the fortress.

Here stood a row of specially made alloy targets, hard enough to withstand the full-powered attacks of an Innate Martial Artist.

Xu Wuyi stood thirty meters away and raised his Liaoyuan Long Spear.

He didn’t use the Flame of the Golden Crow Burning Heart, relying solely on the Profound Nether Celestial Spear’s Gravity Manipulation.

With a single thought, the Gravity around the target suddenly intensified tenfold!

The heavy alloy target let out a CREAKING groan as its base began to slowly sink.

With a flick of his wrist, Xu Wuyi pointed the tip of his spear forward.

The direction of Gravity changed, from "down" to "forward"!

The alloy target, which weighed several tons, was pulled by an invisible force. It toppled forward violently, crashing to the ground with a BOOM and sending up a huge cloud of dust.

Immediately after, Xu Wuyi’s thoughts shifted once more.

The Gravity Field in a three-meter radius around the target began to distort and rotate, forming a miniature gravitational vortex.

The fallen target tumbled and twisted within the vortex. The hard alloy surface began to dent and deform, as if being torn apart by countless invisible hands.

Five seconds later, Xu Wuyi dispelled the Gravity Field.

The target was completely mangled, its original shape almost unrecognizable.

’The power is sufficient,’ Xu Wuyi assessed. ’Against a Great Commander Level Star Beast, the Gravity Field alone can provide effective suppression. And if I combine it with the Flame of the Golden Crow Burning Heart...’

Various tactical combinations had already surfaced in his mind.

He could suppress an enemy’s movements with the Gravity Field while incinerating them with Flame. Or, he could use Flame to force them into a bad position, then trap and kill them with the Gravity Field. He could even infuse the Gravity Field with Flame to create a "Flame Gravity Domain"...

The potential for synergy between the Great Success Realm Profound Nether Celestial Spear and the Golden Crow Burning Heart was far greater than he had imagined.

Xu Wuyi put away his spear and returned to the fortress.

Just as he walked through the main gate, he saw Tang Xiuqi standing at the base of the command tower, apparently waiting for someone.

"Senior Brother Tang." Xu Wuyi walked over to greet him.

"Junior Brother Xu." Tang Xiuqi turned, a slight smile on his face. "Was that commotion at the testing grounds just now your doing?"

"It was. My new Spear Technique had a breakthrough, so I was testing its power," Xu Wuyi answered honestly.

Tang Xiuqi nodded. "How did it feel?"

"Pretty good. I should have no problem dealing with a Great Commander Level beast."

"That’s good." Tang Xiuqi paused. "By the way, there’s something I need to tell you."

"Go ahead."

"A new batch of support personnel will be arriving tomorrow. There’s someone you know among them."

Xu Wuyi was taken aback for a moment. "Someone I know?"

"Junior Sister Su Yueling," Tang Xiuqi said. "Black Stone Academy is sending her to the Profound Abyssal Rift for a month of training."

Xu Wuyi froze for a moment.

Su Yueling.

’It’s been over a year since our match in the youth tournament.’

’The conversation we had on the tournament stage is still fresh in my mind. I never thought we’d meet again here.’

"I know about what happened between you two," Tang Xiuqi said, patting him on the shoulder. "The past is the past. You’re on the same battlefront now. You need to focus on the bigger picture."

"I understand," Xu Wuyi said with a smile. "Don’t worry, Senior Brother Tang, I know how to handle myself. What happened back then had nothing to do with Junior Sister Su, anyway."

...

The next afternoon, sunlight streamed through the clouds into the valley, casting a strange golden fringe on the dark red Rift.

Xu Wuyi stood on the fortress wall, watching the convoy approaching in the distance.

Three military off-road vehicles snaked up the mountain road, finally stopping in front of the fortress’s main gate.

The doors opened, and more than a dozen figures disembarked one after another.

Xu Wuyi’s gaze fell on a particular figure dressed in white.

Su Yueling was still dressed in her simple, elegant training uniform, her black hair tied back in a ponytail, her expression cool and detached.

Her aura was more restrained than before, but a faint, sharp edge lingered about her—a sign that her Cultivation of the Shadow Sword Technique had reached a higher Realm.
