I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 149: Number One

The sensation of power penetrating the blood and marrow is very peculiar.

If one had to describe it in words, it’s as if one’s bones are hollowed out by bugs, with countless ants crawling back and forth inside, bringing a mix of sourness, itchiness, pain, and numbness!

At first, it is completely bearable, but as time goes on, one can’t help but wish to dismantle the bones and smash them to pieces with a hammer.

Only then can one be freed!

And this process is undoubtedly a great test for a Breaking Realm Martial Artist.

Zhang Yuan had some prior understanding of the Transformation Realm, and had even read martial arts notes from predecessors.

But hearing and seeing it is a world apart from actual experience!

Despite his tough and resilient skin, flesh, and bones, he could not exempt himself from this deep soul-penetrating soreness and pain.

Even thoughts of giving up emerged!

Yet such thoughts didn’t linger in Zhang Yuan’s mind for even a breath of time.

The strong will acquired from two lifetimes firmly resisted this excruciating torment.

Crystalline sweat continuously seeped from Zhang Yuan’s skin, accompanied by specks of dirt.

His muscles swelled and twisted, while the Qi and Blood inside him churned violently.

Incessantly releasing abundant power, cleansing his bones and marrow!

As time passed, a large gourd of clear water was drunk down to the last drop by Zhang Yuan.

His power had fully penetrated the blood marrow and was spreading towards his organs, his heart thumped twice as fast, and his intestines roared like thunder.

By this point, the effects of the previously consumed Qi Blood Pill had been fully exerted.

Yet Zhang Yuan felt there was still a little something lacking.

As if there was an invisible membrane inside him, just a poke with a finger could pierce it through!

Without any hesitation, he swallowed a second Qi Blood Pill.

Boom!

As the drug effect of the Qi Blood Pill dispersed, Zhang Yuan felt as if he had suddenly toppled a wall, with all his Qi Force sinking instantly into his organs, limbs, and bones.

That layer of invisible membrane was shattered in one blow!

Transformation realm achieved!!

He suddenly opened his eyes, and the bones inside his body cracked one by one.

A total of 206 bones cracked in succession.

The last crack originated from the skull at the top of his head.

This is to open the Celestial Gate!

With the Celestial Gate open, Qi Force naturally comes, at this very moment Zhang Yuan had stepped into the threshold of Tier Three.

[Host: Zhang Yuan]

[Realm: Tier Three (Transformation Realm)]

[Divine Nest: Level 3 (1%)]

[Host: Level 3 Black Giant Ant (1%)/8x Strength]

[Qi Blood: 76/385]

Upon breaking through to Tier Three, his Qi and Blood Value limit unexpectedly surged over a hundred points, nearing four hundred points!

This means that Zhang Yuan can sustain his host’s extraordinary abilities for a longer period of time, naturally enhancing his combat strength significantly.

And Zhang Yuan’s own strength undoubtedly skyrocketed due to the upgrade, with both combined, he dared not speculate casually how powerful he has become, requiring actual combat to verify.

At this moment, Zhang Yuan’s delight is beyond words.

He regulated his breath, utilizing the effects of the Qi Blood Pill, restoring his Qi Blood Value to over three hundred points.

Only then did he dress and leave the Ascension Chamber.

Although Zhang Yuan was unclear about how long he had been in seclusion here, since no one disturbed him, it certainly hadn’t exceeded five days.

"Master Zhang."

A disciple from the Inner Hall who was guarding outside the secret chamber immediately greeted Zhang Yuan upon his emergence: "You’ve finished seclusion?"

He suddenly realized something was off, his eyes widened instantly, blurting out: "Tier Three!"

The shock of this Inner Hall disciple was not unfounded.

He himself was already in his late twenties and almost thirty, still only possessing Tier Two Dark Force cultivation.

But Zhang Yuan was merely seventeen or eighteen, had not been in the gang long, just barely beyond being a newcomer.

He was now not only the Battle Hall Incense Master but had also stepped into the realm of transformation in one fell swoop.

People surely can’t stand comparison!

Due to the shock, this Inner Hall disciple completely overlooked the respect for hierarchy.

Quite a faux pas.

Zhang Yuan didn’t mind, he smiled and said, "Just lucky."

The Inner Hall disciple came to his senses, his face turned a deep red.

He quickly bent down to apologize, "Sorry, Master Zhang, it’s presumptuous and rude of me."

"It’s nothing."

Zhang Yuan waved his hand and asked, "May I know how long I have been in seclusion this time?"

The Inner Hall disciple answered truthfully, "Three days and five hours."

The Ascension Chamber is a crucial place, guarded in shifts, so they were well aware of the time.

Three days, huh?

Honestly, Zhang Yuan had little awareness of time while in the Ascension Chamber.

"Thank you for your hard work."

He said, and then returned to the surface.

The Inner Hall disciple stood there dazed for a long time, ultimately giving a self-deprecating smile.

After leaving seclusion, the first thing Zhang Yuan did was report to Yue Wuji at the Battle Hall.

It turned out that the Hall Master was not inside the hall.

Nonetheless, the news of Zhang Yuan breaking through to Tier Three spread rapidly like it had grown wings across the entire Sub-Branch.

It instantly caused quite a stir!

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old Transformation Realm expert, not to mention within the Linhe Sub-Branch, even at the Nanxun Upper Helm, there were few who could compare with Zhang Yuan.

It would not be an overstatement to call him the number one among the younger generation.

Only in the core circles of big sects and mighty powers, those geniuses meticulously nurtured from a young age, could be a match to compete!

The next day, Yue Wuji summoned Zhang Yuan at the Whale Castle upon returning.

Also present were the Supreme Elder Liao Yong’an, both Tier Four experts offered their encouragement and praise.

If it weren’t for the Squad Leader Wei Changfeng being in seclusion, he too would have commended Zhang Yuan in person a few times.

And the upper echelons of the Linhe Sub-Branch didn’t just offer verbal praise, they also presented very practical rewards.

A Tier Three Transformation Realm expert is already qualified for positions like Vice Hall Master, Hall Master, or Elder.

But due to Zhang Yuan’s shallow seniority, a promotion was temporarily impossible.

However, he can now receive a high subsidy of one hundred taels of silver monthly, and he was granted certain high-level privileges.

For instance, temporarily mobilizing the Sub-Branch’s affiliated merchant ships or warships, etc.

Additionally, Zhang Yuan got a ten percent stake in a large merchant ship under the Linhe Sub-Branch.

This way, he can also receive an annual dividend.

This alone is an income of hundreds of taels!

The wealth of the Furious Whale Gang secretly amazed Zhang Yuan.

No wonder the Fierce Tiger Gang and the Four Great Families always harbored thoughts of usurping the Linhe Sub-Branch—there’s too much at stake!

Of course, this was advantageous for Zhang Yuan, as no one would be averse to receiving silver.

And Zhang Yuan’s practice of "Rock Foundation Skill" is particularly money-consuming.

Stepping into Tier Three, entering the upper echelons of the Sub-Branch, obtaining shares and rewards.

For a while, Zhang Yuan became quite the sensation in Whale Castle.

Everyone who saw him greeted him with a smile!

Even those disciples who had joined the Battle Hall with him in the past now treated him with utmost respect and courtesy.

Daring not to show the slightest negligence or disrespect.

Zhang Yuan became, without any doubt, the number one figure among the younger generation in the Linhe Sub-Branch!
