I Grind to Martial Saint

Zhang Cang solemnly accepted the Peach Wood Sword.

"Brother Han, rest assured. I will do everything in my power to repair this sword."

Han Yuan knew that Zhang Cang had likely inherited the complete legacy of Master Xuanye.

With his talent and personality, his Cultivation was bound to advance by leaps and bounds.

’It probably won’t be long before the sword is fully repaired.’

"I have another sword here," Han Yuan said. "You can use it for now. As you know, I use a saber, so I have no use for a sword."

Han Yuan unfastened the Cyan Rainbow Sword from his waist and placed it on the table.

When Huang Xian’Er saw the sword, her brow twitched.

With her experience, she naturally recognized it at a glance.

This was the symbol of the Cyan Cloud Sect’s Leader, the Cyan Rainbow Sword.

In the Martial World, it was a renowned Divine Weapon.

She hadn’t expected Han Yuan to be so generous as to give it directly to Zhang Cang.

Zhang Cang instinctively refused. "I can’t accept this sword."

Even though he wasn’t part of the Martial World and couldn’t tell the sword’s origin, he knew the kind of person Han Yuan was.

Given his status, he would never give away an ordinary longsword.

’This sword must be exceptionally valuable,’ he thought.

Han Yuan shot Huang Xian’Er a look.

Huang Xian’Er was speechless inwardly but said aloud, "Don’t worry. While this sword isn’t an ordinary longsword, it’s not outrageously valuable either. It’s a good sword."

"Just take it and use it for now."

Only then did Zhang Cang relax, saying seriously, "Thank you, Brother Han."

"Alright," Han Yuan said with a hearty laugh. "Let’s drink first."

...

The matter of the flood slowly faded into the past.

For the next two months, Cangshui County Town was relatively peaceful.

But the turmoil in Jianghe Province grew even more chaotic.

The Province Army was locked in a tense stalemate with the Wangling Sect in Tongming County, with many dying every day.

This, in turn, caused other parts of Jianghe Province to descend into chaos.

Qingchuan County.

It was a rare mountainous region in Jianghe Province, rich in resources with several iron mines, all controlled by the Government Office.

Due to the growing corruption of the Government Office, the oppression of the miners was so extreme it was like sucking the marrow from their bones; they were not treated as human beings at all.

Under this extreme oppression, tens of thousands of miners launched a terrifying uprising, not only occupying the mines but also repeatedly attacking Qingchuan County Town.

At first, the County Government Office didn’t think it was a big deal and merely dispatched the County Soldiers to suppress the rebellious miners.

However, among these miners was a fearsome man.

His name was Fang Tai, and he was originally just an ordinary miner.

But after the uprising began, his strength became terrifyingly immense. Wielding a Wolf Fang Club and leading a group of miners, he completely routed the Qingchuan County Soldiers.

He even smashed the General’s head to pieces.

With that, Fang Tai’s momentum was unstoppable.

He knew the County Town still possessed significant power, so instead of a direct assault, he led his men to conquer the surrounding lands, capturing one county seat after another.

He was gradually forming a pincer movement that threatened to encircle Qingchuan County Town.

Meanwhile, the other counties were all focused on self-preservation and couldn’t send reinforcements.

The Province Mansion was also unable to spare any men... They could only order the Qingchuan Prefect to defend the city to the death and, under no circumstances, allow the enemy to breach the walls.

...

Cangshui County Observatory, in the rear courtyard of the main hall.

Han Yuan was practicing the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill.

His physique had grown even more massive. He stood over two meters tall, his muscles bulging ferociously. His qi and blood raged like a furnace, radiating an abnormal, scorching heat.

Several Demon Exterminators, holding Wolf Fang Clubs made of refined iron, circulated their Inner Qi and mercilessly smashed them against Han Yuan’s body!

The force of the Wolf Fang Clubs was so immense that the air itself seemed to whimper.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

It was as if they were striking a steel plate.

The Demon Exterminators felt an extremely powerful rebounding force that made their hands go numb.

"HAHAHA..."

"This feels great! Put some more power into it!!!"

Han Yuan grinned ferociously.

Hearing Han Yuan’s words, the Demon Exterminators didn’t dare stop. They could only brace themselves and continue swinging.

At the same time, they were utterly horrified.

’Is this really a human body?!’

A Horizontal Training Technique like this was completely beyond their imagination.

As the Wolf Fang Clubs continued to rain down, sweat flew and splattered everywhere.

Following Han Yuan’s instructions, they had to strike every part of his body at least once.

Even a vital spot like the back of his head had to be struck!

"Director, here it comes!"

A Demon Exterminator let out a low shout, swung the Wolf Fang Club, and suddenly put his full, heavy force into a strike aimed at the back of Han Yuan’s head!

BANG!

The iron handle of the Wolf Fang Club couldn’t withstand the impact and snapped in two.

The Demon Exterminator felt a sharp, shattering pain as if the bones in his palms had cracked.

But Han Yuan, as if nothing had happened, simply rolled his neck.

"Alright, that’s enough for today."

Hearing his words, the Demon Exterminators finally breathed a sigh of relief and wearily left the courtyard.

And then,

the muscles on Han Yuan’s body began to bizarrely expand and ripple.

His expression grew more ferocious, and the heat radiating from his body intensified.

The blood and qi within him were boiling!

His skin, bones, and internal organs were all undergoing a transformation.

A full hour passed before the transformation finally ended.

Han Yuan summoned his Skill Proficiency Panel.

Host: Han Yuan

Innate Great Demon Skill: Fifth Layer (1365/2000)

Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill: Mastery (0/2500)

Black Whale Oversea Skill: Perfection (Transformed Whale)

Giant Spirit Monument-Opening Hand: Perfection (Infinite Strength)

...

"Two months of arduous training, and I’ve finally brought the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill to the Mastery level."

’With my current physical toughness, if I were to fight that Wu Lian again... I doubt she could even scratch my skin.’

Han Yuan muttered to himself.

Of course, his progress over two months of Cultivation wasn’t limited to just that.

Beyond that,

his Innate Great Demon Skill had also advanced from the Third Layer to the Fifth Layer, its power growing even more terrifying.

After swallowing a few more Elixir Pills, Han Yuan walked into the main hall, planning to rest for a bit.

He had just stepped inside when, unexpectedly, Zhai Mu came strolling in through the main gate.

"What is it now?"

Han Yuan asked curiously.

Lately, he hadn’t paid much attention to the Observatory’s affairs.

This was mainly because Zhai Mu and Zhou Yuanhu had both gotten the hang of their respective duties.

Besides, with him backing them, everyone in Cangshui County Town showed them a certain degree of respect.

Therefore, ordinary matters hardly ever required his attention.

"This is a message that just reached the Feiying Tribe."

Zhai Mu produced a sealed letter.

Han Yuan opened it and read.

The letter was, in fact, about the situation in Qingchuan County.

"This Fang Tai... seems pretty capable."

"The Qingchuan Observatory once sent people to assassinate him. Even their Director went personally, but they couldn’t do anything to him and even lost several good men."

Han Yuan remarked casually after finishing the letter.

"The battle in Tongming County is already at a stalemate."

"Now with a figure like this emerging in Qingchuan County, I don’t think Qingchuan County Town can hold out for long."

Zhai Mu said in a grave tone.

"In this day and age... what place isn’t in chaos?"

"It’s not just Jianghe Province; the entire Great Ling Dynasty is a complete mess."

"Evil Cults causing trouble, popular uprisings, bandits running rampant, and all sorts of natural and man-made disasters..."

Han Yuan was unfazed.

As long as it didn’t involve Cangshui County, he couldn’t be bothered to care.
