Martial Research Master

Chapter 49: ADVANCED INTENT OF THE 1ST LEVEL

Long Tao was actually proceeding towards the advanced stele. There was no record even in the star emperor academy for people who were able to even confront Advanced stage of 1st level intent in the Qi child realm, much less understand it. This was a something so heaven defying that it can shake even martial kings to the core. To be able to learn advance level intent of the 1st stage while in Qi child realm would mean that the cultivator would just be a step away from the 2nd level intent. Even Qi General were lucky if they were able to gain insights into the 2nd level, and this one would be just a step away from it even before entering Qi master. This would be something never seen before in these regions. The elders chose silence, and were now whole-heartedly viewing the test of Long Tao.

At the moment Long Tao was sitting in front of a huge stone stele. Looking around he could only see similar types of steles, present beside this one. These steles marked the end of the room. This must be the last stage of testing of talent for this test. These steles should be the ones having Advanced 1st level intent in them. Long Tao was not even 20 feet away, when his body was swept by a tyrannical force. It was as if the surrounding and changed into swords and were stabbing at him. “So, this is the advance 1st level intent of the sword.”. Long Tao kept proceeding towards the slab in front. How could he give up now? He had to take this opportunity and procced. He started making a Qi barrier around him and kept on proceeding. The sword intent started to barge on these Qi barriers. This increased the consumption of the Qi of Long Tao’s body, but it resulted in the expansion of his Qi capacity. Long Tao now had to have two of his avatars concentrated on healing and recovering Qi and soul power, rather than comprehending intent. As he approached the slate, he was more and more gullible to the consumption. Finally, he was able to gain a foothold near the slate and started comprehending the intent. The intent was quite aggressive in damaging the Qi barrier, but Long to started to regulate his breathe and Qi functioning, while adjusting to the physical conditions near the slate. Soon enough the intent became more powerful, and now the barrier couldn’t be maintained in many parts. The invisible swords, started tearing Long Tao’s skin, and blood flow out of them began. The blood was slowly flowing out, but Long Tao didn’t bother to heal up at the moment. The most important job now was to get acquainted with the atmosphere and temper his Qi regulation and discharge to maintain a barrier in this force-field. Long Tao took a lot of damage, before the barrier started to slowly recover.

The complete recovery of the barrier was nearly done when another figure appeared in the observation dais. “We bow to the Dean.” All the elders and vice-leaders bowed to the figure. “No reason for you people to do this. We have been acquainted for such a long time.”. He then turned to face Long Tao’s figure and asked “How is the test of this child proceeding?”. Th elder in charge gave the details of the trial until now to the Dean. “Would sir be thinking of taking the boy as his disciple?”. The Dean turned around facing the Vice-head who just spoke, and said with a reclusive smile on his face “Are you desiring to have him as your disciple?”. The vice-head lowered his head in embarrassment and said “I don’t dare to, if master is willing to. This boy is the greatest talent I have seen, and I am saying it just from his previous achievements. If he becomes successful in what he is trying at the moment, then I would insist that you take him as your disciple. This is someone, I would be proud to call as junior brother.”. The three vice-heads were all the students of the dean. The other two agreed with his opinion and shook their heads. “In my eyes all of you are of the same talent as him until now. Also, he is not the greatest talent I have seen until now. There are two juniors of yours that I have undertaken as disciple. One has a Yin-Yang physique, and the other has already managed to comprehend the peak-advance intent of 1st level in sword and saber. In these terms he is just barely passable. “. He then again looked at Long Tao and said” The most important base of martial artist is his will and heart. This test just showcases his talent, but the next test will showcase his willpower. That is most important out of all.”

Long Tao by now was able to already maintain the barrier. But he knew that maintaining the barrier would just help him temper his Qi efficiency, it wouldn’t help in the comprehension of intents. He had to let go of the barrier and feel it with his body. Long Tao had already managed to open his 20th secondary meridian by now. Just by using the power of the newly regulated primary meridians, he would be able to take the intent, due to his tyrant body, but he wanted to temper his body without the meridian power. This was a good way to do that. Long Tao slowly stared creating small gaps in the barrier and started tempering his most powerful body regions first. Seeing the activity, the Dean eyes sparkled with a shine. This boy was really a genius. He found a way to temper his body first and then start comprehending the intents. The body which was confronting the intent first hand was busy in tempering the body, while the ones who were accompanying in the cultivation were busy comprehending the intent. Slowly Long Tao was expanding the gaps and exposing more of his body to the intents.

“How can this be?”, the dean muttered under his breath. “has master stuck upon something?”. One of the vice-leaders asked respectfully. “This boy’s comprehension is surely the top among the ones I have seen until now. Maybe it is the best of someone who is still in the Qi child realm.” The vice-leaders asked “What makes you say that now master?”. The dean smirked and with a strict face said” That is why I told you all to raise your cultivation fast and break through the Qi king realm.” The vice-leaders lowered their heads. “Initially I thought the way the boy was going was to temper his body to a particular extent first before starting to comprehend the intent, but I was wrong. Try to feel his intent.” The three did as they were asked and were astonished “He is capable of increasing his intent power too simultaneously.”. They now understood what their master was trying to say. This was monstrous. How was he capable of such a feat. This would require one’s comprehension abilities to be at an insane level.

Long Tao finally managed to expose his whole body to the intent. His body was now powerful enough to bear the force of the sword intent. He started concentrating on the comprehension now. The avatars that were busy in the replenishing job were also beginning to comprehend side by side as the Qi was no longer required. Soon enough Long Tao began to attack the intent with his own and was shattered time by time. The same process as the previous time repeated. Long Tao was drained after just one try. This showed the difference between the intermediate and the advance levels. He started to again assign a set of avatars on the replenishing job, while he was continuing his activity.

“How can this be.” For the first time the dean face had a visible changed in it.” Not only is this brat’s power of comprehension so high, he even had such a capable body to complement the job. His body must be of a very high grade too. His Qi replenishing ability is quite exceptional. Let see if he can comprehend the intent.” The phenomena just now had finally piqued his total interest.

.....

Long Tao was finally able to increase his intent to the maximum level of intermediate. Just a step more and he would step into the advance level. He continued the barging again and again. His intent got shattered countless times, he even spilled blood from his mouth, but he didn’t give up. He held. Finally, on the hundredth confrontation, he managed to tackle and negate the power of intent. Suddenly all his intent was absorbed back and after a short break, it was released incessantly. The Dean had a smile “He managed to step into the advance intent level. Exceptional.”

Long Tao remained motionless, only radiating intent from his body. “Advance level intent.” A face full of joy was displayed to all the viewers.
