High Martial Arts: Slay enemies to become stronger, forge invincibility from billions of corpses.

Song Chen calculated that with 500,000 kill points, he could buy 50 bottles of Spirit Energy Essence and Spirit Essence.

After absorbing it, your Qi and Blood should reach 500, your Spirit should reach 400, and your Strength should double.

He opened the purchase interface and began placing bulk orders. One bottle of Nine-Turn Blood Essence or Spirit Essence required 10,000 Kill Points.

Without hesitation, he ordered 25 bottles of each type.

Soon, fifty bottles of the original solution were stored in the system's storage space.

Song Chen took out a bottle of spiritual energy essence.

The deep blue liquid flowed slowly in the transparent tube, like a night sky compressed to its limit.

He unscrewed the bottle cap and drank it down in one gulp.

The moment the liquid entered his throat, a warm current spread from his stomach to his limbs and bones, like a warm river flowing through his body.

His Qi and Blood value slowly increased from 305.3, getting stronger every second.

He quickly finished absorbing the essence and then took out a bottle of spiritual liquid.

The pale purple liquid was icy cold upon entry, and a refreshing sensation surged from my stomach to the top of my head, making my mind clearer than ever before, and my mental strength began to rise from 246.2.

Bottle after bottle, he didn't stop, chugging down bottle after bottle of psychic energy essence and bottle after bottle of mental essence.

His blood and energy were surging, his mental strength was increasing, and his body was frantically absorbing this concentrated spiritual energy. Every cell was cheering, every meridian was expanding, and every muscle was strengthening.

Sweat poured from his forehead, back, and chest, soaking his clothes and dripping onto the floor.

A faint golden glow appeared on the skin's surface; that was the energy overflowing from the body when the blood and qi circulated to their peak.

At three in the morning, he finished drinking the tenth bottle of psionic essence and the tenth bottle of mental essence.

Qi and blood reached 410, and mental strength reached 334.

By 5:30 a.m., all fifty bottles had been absorbed.

My Qi and Blood levels reached 502, just breaking through the 500 mark, and my Spirit level reached 422, also breaking through the 400 mark.

Song Chen leaned against the headboard, breathing heavily.

My body was trembling slightly, not from fear or tension, but from taking in too much spiritual energy in a short period of time, causing my body to be overworked.

He needs a reason now, a reason that can convince others why he improved so much overnight.

He had already come up with a reason; it would be the same old method.

During the battle at Tianhai East Fortress, he discovered an S-grade spirit fruit in the lair of those strange beasts.

He didn't know the name of the spiritual fruit, but he knew its effects: it greatly enhanced his blood and energy.

No one doubted it, because no one could verify that the alien beast nests outside Tianhai East Fortress had been cleared out by him, and the fruit had been eaten.

Moreover, he now has a powerful backer, so most people won't investigate him.

Song Chen opened his eyes, looking thoughtfully at the gradually brightening sky outside the window.

Unbeknownst to him, on the very night he was frantically improving his strength, in another corner of Tianhai City, a group of people were also discussing him.

Moreover, the level of importance they attach to him has risen to an unprecedented level.

In Tianhai City, in the South District, there is an inconspicuous commercial building with three underground floors.

It was still that room, tightly enveloped by the psionic shielding device, and there was still that rectangular table.

It was the same five people: the man in the gray suit at the head of the table, the woman in the black trench coat to his left, the white-haired old man to his right, and two other faces with little screen time.

But the atmosphere today was different from last time. Last time, when they discussed Song Chen, their tone was evaluative, calm, and even a little disdainful.

But today, that disdain has disappeared, replaced by something heavier and more oppressive.

A semi-transparent psionic screen floated in front of the man at the head of the table, densely covered with text and numbers.

His face was grim; the content on the screen was troubling him, extremely troubling.

"Operation at Tianhai East Fortress has failed."

"Our fourth-tier warrior Shadow Blade, as well as three fourth-tier sea beasts, have all lost contact. The last message they sent back was five days ago, containing only five words: Song Chen is invincible."

He paused, swiped his finger across the screen, and switched to the next page.

"According to intelligence from our spies infiltrated at Tianhai University, Song Chen returned to Tianhai University yesterday. He is alive and unharmed."

"In the battle outside the East Fortress of Tianhai, he killed countless alien beasts, including Shadow Blade, which is estimated to be dead."

After he finished speaking, the room became so quiet that the low hum of the psionic shielding device could be heard.

The white-haired old man's voice was hoarse as he said, "One third-tier warrior killed three fourth-tier warriors and one fourth-tier martial artist? Are you sure the information is correct?"

The man at the head of the group nodded: "Confirmed."

"And that's not all. Within five days at Tianhai East Fortress, Song Chen wiped out nearly ten thousand alien beasts, including a mutated tiger king at the upper level of the third tier."

"His strength is impossible to determine; our spies cannot get close to him or make an accurate assessment."

The woman in the black trench coat's lips twitched slightly: "How about I try it myself? With my skills, I should be able to succeed."

The man at the front shook his head, swiped his finger across the screen, and brought up a photo.

The photo shows Song Chen returning to Tianhai University from Tianhai East Fortress, with the Tianjun Blade hanging from his waist and the Jinglei Blade on his back.

The man tapped the Heavenly Blade behind his waist.

"You should all recognize this knife; it's Old Zhou's sword. The fact that it's on Song Chen can only mean one thing."

"Based on Zhou Laogui's past habits, Song Chen should have already been taken as his apprentice."

"With him around, any assassination attempt is suicidal."

The room became completely quiet.

The white-haired old man's pupils contracted, the woman in the black trench coat unconsciously clenched her fingers, and the expressions of the other two people also became solemn.

Zhou Wangyue, a sixth-level grandmaster and the president of Tianhai University, is among the strongest even when considering countless top-tier alien beasts.

Everyone present understood what it meant for him to take on a disciple.

This means he will personally teach Song Chen, it means Song Chen will obtain the top cultivation resources of Tianhai University, it means he will become stronger at a faster pace, and it means he will receive the best protection.

The man at the front stood up and walked to the map on the wall.

The layout of Tianhai City and its surrounding areas is clearly visible on the map. The location of Tianhai University is marked with a blue thumbtack, while the location of Tianhai East Fortress is marked with a red thumbtack. The red thumbtack was put on five days ago, representing the "location of the target".

He reached out and pulled the red thumbtack off, walked to the table, and pressed the thumbtack into the spot where Tianhai University was located.

"Now we need to do two things."

"First, update the list of human geniuses to be eliminated, and promote Song Chen to number 001."

The woman in the black trench coat leaned back in her chair, looking at the red thumbtack: "How do you plan to kill him? He's at Tianhai University, and Zhou Wangyue is personally watching him. We can't even get close."

The man in the lead pondered for a long time.

"This matter is beyond our capabilities. Let's report it and let the higher-ups deal with it."

Do you all agree?

"agree."

"agree……"

The remaining four people then expressed their opinions.
