My Arts Evolve When Perfected

All the spectators looked up. Above the vast coliseum, Zhu Weiyi hovered in the air, his Overlord Spear held diagonally behind him. He had the cold air of a descending star of slaughter.

The mustachioed old man’s expression was one of horror. He fell back to stand in front of Sakai Yoshiei, his Nether Dark Spirit Charm circulating throughout his body. His facial muscles tensed as if facing a formidable foe. "You’re going to intervene?!"

At that moment, dark clouds roiled in the sky. The entire audience rose to their feet, crying out in alarm. The coliseum’s general manager, Beligi, felt his heart pound wildly. ’The coliseum is about to be destroyed,’ he thought.

Zhu Weiyi didn’t answer the mustachioed old man’s question. From his position in the air, he pointed his Overlord Spear at him. A dense killing intent gathered, coalescing with the CRACKLING thunder overhead.

He spoke slowly, the killing intent in his eyes pure. "Jiang Qiu, the leap from the Dharma Realm to the Grandmaster Realm requires the ultimate enlightenment.

"Watch closely. This is Spear Intent."

Jiang Qiu’s heart leaped, and his blood surged with excitement. He gripped his Chuyuan spear tightly in both hands, his burning gaze fixed on the figure of the old general hovering in the air.

The rank of Martial Arts Grandmaster was a Realm most Martial Artists could never hope to reach, and a person most ordinary people would never witness in their entire lives.

When a Grandmaster made a move, mountains shattered and lakes ran dry. A Soldier Cultivator’s intent could command the very power of slaughter for thousands of meters!

"BAKA! How dare you attack us! Sang Island will not let you get away with this!"

The mustachioed old man roared himself hoarse, spittle flying everywhere as he channeled his Nether Dark Spirit Charm. It coalesced into a colossal, black-armored warrior. The hundred-zhang-tall Dharma Aspect towered over the arena, seeming as if it could flatten the entire coliseum with a single step.

But Zhu Weiyi’s expression remained unchanged. Even as the blade of the black warrior loomed above, about to strike, he simply stared at the mustachioed old man. With a mere thought, he twisted his right wrist and executed a sharp, quivering thrust.

An invisible ripple flowed from the spear’s tip, and the thunder in the heavens answered its call. In that instant, the world fell silent. The warrior’s blade froze, unable to descend. The entire audience screamed without a sound, and in Jiang Qiu’s pupils, the water-like ripple of Spear Intent was reflected.

OMM—

The mustachioed old man’s face turned deathly pale. The colossal Dharma Aspect protecting him overhead dissolved and collapsed like cotton candy in water. In an instant, the ripples of Spear Intent peeled back the very layers of the air and surged toward him.

"Yoshiei, run!"

At the brink of death, the mustachioed old man spat out a mouthful of black blood. A bizarre black mire abruptly erupted from beneath his feet, swallowing them both.

In his haste, his defense was insufficient. The old man’s arms, raised to forcibly block the Spear Intent, disintegrated like bamboo stalks struck by lightning, his flesh and blood atomizing into a fine mist.

As their figures were completely swallowed by the black mire, Sakai Yoshiei’s pupils were wide with terror, his face drained of all color. A splash of black blood sprayed across his cheek as he watched, helpless, while the Grandmaster-level elder who had escorted him to North Border City disintegrated and died.

The moment his head sank beneath the black mire, his terrified eyes reflected the image of the Grandmaster high in the sky. With his last hateful glare, he shot a look at Jiang Qiu. "Sang Island will not spare you!"

BOOM—

Their teleportation lasted but a moment, as did the pulse of Spear Intent. In the next instant, the entire inscribed floor of the coliseum disintegrated and collapsed as if a nuclear bomb had detonated.

Beligi frantically channeled his Soul Ice Spirit Charm, enveloping the entire inner coliseum. A massive, hemispherical Ice Wall formed, reinforcing the original barrier, only to disintegrate inch by inch.

He gritted his teeth and unleashed the full power of his Soul Ice Spirit Charm, reinforcing the Ice Wall once more. After it disintegrated and was reconstructed several times, the aftershocks of the Spear Intent were finally absorbed completely.

The Ice Wall that had blotted out the sun shattered, its fragments pattering down like a magnificent hailstorm, reflected in Jiang Qiu’s eyes.

He was enveloped in a layer of Vast Water Spirit Charm, which completely negated the Spear Intent’s lethality. Still, goosebumps prickled his skin, and his heart trembled. ’So this is the Spear Intent that Grandmaster Zhu has grasped?’

The Path of Cultivation for a Soldier Cultivator involves merging one’s ultimate understanding of a weapon with their Dharma Aspect and physical body. This is called ’Intent,’ and it is the key to entering the great path of a Grandmaster.

The Power of Slaughter they master is second to none among all Paths of Cultivation!

That seemingly casual, quivering feint contained the entirety of Grandmaster Zhu Weiyi’s understanding as a Soldier Cultivator. It also mobilized his surging Vast Water Spirit Charm, and its power was not to be underestimated!

Countless insights into the Spear Dao, all fused into a single move, driven by pure will and brimming with killing intent—this was Grandmaster Zhu Weiyi’s Spear Intent!

A flood of panels flashed through Jiang Qiu’s mind. It was as if a young flower bud had blossomed, releasing an ancient, rhythmic charm. The Chuyuan spear in his hand now felt like a natural extension of his arm, and he could faintly sense a new, more profound connection with it.

Tap.

Zhu Weiyi’s figure descended from the sky, landing amidst the ruins of the coliseum. He let out a long breath and retracted his Overlord Spear. "I didn’t expect them to have an escape method like that."

He glanced at the spot where the black mire had vanished, then turned to look at Jiang Qiu, who stood motionless with a focused gaze. A flicker of surprise crossed his eyes. ’Did he actually gain some enlightenment?’

For a Spear-type Soldier Cultivator, there was a great hurdle in progressing from the Dharma Realm to the Grandmaster Realm. It was an enlightenment that went beyond Spirit Charm—it was Spear Intent.

Some tempered themselves for fifty years before finally grasping a mere sliver of Spear Intent, which was enough to stand proudly above others in the Dharma Realm. Yet others would never grasp it in their entire lives, forever stuck at the Dharma Realm.

Witnessing Spear Intent firsthand would naturally save one a great deal of effort in their own comprehension. As for how much, that depended on one’s Talent.

But for someone as young as Jiang Qiu to witness his move just once and immediately enter such a profound state of enlightenment... it was something he had never seen before in his entire life!

"Grandmaster Beligi, please evacuate the spectators. I will take full responsibility for all the damages."

Zhu Weiyi glanced at Beligi, who laughed and cupped his hands. "Of course, of course. I’ll go make the announcement right away."

Beligi quickly exited the inner ring of the coliseum, now a field of ruins. He casually wiped the beads of cold sweat from his forehead and took a sharp, cool breath.

’So, Zhu Weiyi really did destroy the coliseum. It’ll take more than half a month to repair, and I’ll have to hire an Ancient Inscription expert to re-carve the lines.’

’But this might not be a bad thing. The footage of a Grandmaster in action was broadcast globally. At the very least, it’s major news. It’ll probably attract a ton of traffic.’

’More importantly, Zhu Weiyi promised to cover the costs, so the coliseum’s losses will be greatly reduced.’ 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Beligi breathed a sigh of relief, his gaze sharp. ’Still, that kid Jiang Qiu is really something else. He managed to get Zhu Weiyi to personally strike down a Sang Island Grandmaster. That’s as good as a direct provocation to Sang Island!’

’Sakai Yoshiei escaped. I wonder what tricks Sang Island will pull to deal with Zhu Weiyi. This is North Border City, not the interior of Xia Country. If Sang Island’s Martial Artists decide to play dirty... tsk, tsk... even a Grandmaster would be in for a headache.’

Beligi shook his head and began instructing members of the Belli Family to evacuate the audience and close the coliseum.

As for the spectators who had just witnessed a Grandmaster in action, every one of them was buzzing with excitement. It was like watching a massive fireworks display up close—dangerous, yet thrilling.

The price of admission was more than worth it!

Their sense of security in North Border City soared to a new level!
