In the entire Yunshui Villa, who didn't know that the evergreen stone under the pine and cypress was her, Hongyan Rong's, exclusive "treasure land"? Although that lad looked young, since he could appear here, he must have some background. Now, however, he disregarded the rules and deliberately seized the territory before her, his intention was obvious. It was nothing more than to find an excuse to strike up a conversation and establish some connection with her. "What a pity, although I, Hongyan Rong, am not one of those superficial people who pursue a match of equal social status, how could I possibly be interested in a little fellow like you, all slicked up?" Sister Hong shook her head, not giving Wu Yang another glance, and turned to walk towards the other side of the mountain path. ... They say that cultivation knows no bounds of time, and this saying is equally applicable to Wu Yang at this moment. Once he entered the state of cultivating the immortal elixir of life and immortality, Wu Yang was completely unaware of everything happening in the outside world. After an unknown amount of time, when he seemed to feel a set of shackles within his body, a vague and indescribable restraint was broken, Wu Yang finally slowly opened his eyes from his meditation. Looking up, a brand new world presented itself before his eyes. The sky was still the same sky, the earth was still the same earth, but everything between heaven and earth, whether in color or layering, was more rich and vivid than before. When he concentrated his vision, he could even see the texture and veins of the pine and cypress leaves several meters away; and after focusing his hearing, he could clearly hear the buzzing of small insects flapping their wings dozens of meters away. "The immortal elixir of life and immortality? Is this really an immortal cultivation technique?"

“Could it be that I have already cultivated one of the three realms of the Immortal Technique mentioned by that old bastard, the realm of transforming essence into energy?” Wu Yang's heart was in turmoil. He had never imagined that the set of breathing and meditation techniques forced upon him by the old bastard who adopted him years ago, after becoming second nature, would produce such a novel and powerful change.

Getting up, he stepped forward and pulled back his right arm, then threw a punch casually. Boom!!!

The air exploded, and a tree trunk as big as a bowl fell down three meters in front of Wu Yang, raising dust all over the sky.

In that instant, Wu Yang clearly felt a thread of 'energy' as fine as a hair flowing through his eight meridians, dantian, and internal organs.

Although this thread of 'energy' was very weak and could hardly be detected without careful perception, it still filled him with ecstatic joy.

“Transforming essence into energy, this is the real transformation of essence into energy. Every time I heard that old bastard talk about this realm before, I would sneer at it, as if it were incomprehensible heavenly scriptures. Yet, through continuous cultivation of that immortal technique for eternal life, I have actually entered this realm. The faint stream of energy I feel inside me now must be the legendary internal force, right?”

Even though he was already at the pinnacle of existence, the increase in strength still excited Wu Yang immensely.

“Whether internationally or domestically, the strength of martial arts practitioners is roughly divided into three levels: external force, internal force, and transforming force. Each major realm is further divided into four stages: beginner, minor achievement, major achievement, and perfection. I was only at the major achievement stage of internal force before, but now that I have cultivated this miraculous 'energy' inside me, I wonder if I can be considered a grandmaster of the legendary transforming force?”

In the past, Wu Yang never dared to hope for a realm beyond internal strength, for the grandmaster of the Transforming Energy was always thought to exist only in legends. It's like ghosts; even a three-year-old child knows they're said to be real, yet no one in the entire world has ever actually seen one. The realm of Transforming Energy is just as elusive to the martial arts community at large. "But although I have cultivated a trace of 'Qi' within my Eight Extraordinary Meridians, it is still just a trace. Since that old bastard's claim about the Immortal's Art being real has been proven true, it means that there might indeed be true grandmasters of Transforming Energy in this world. I may have stood at the pinnacle of the international underworld, but that doesn't mean that the Sharp Blade Hidden Dragon is invincible." The world is much larger than people imagine. Without going into other matters, just considering the Central Plains, with its five thousand years of history, there has once been a brilliant martial arts civilization. Since modern times, it has even been recognized internationally as a forbidden zone. Who can guarantee that no one could surpass me? Wu Yang is not an arrogant person, especially after having mixed in the mercenary world for so many years, he understands even more the principle that there is always someone better. "But it doesn't matter. Even if I don't enter the Transforming Energy now, since the effects of the Immortal's Art are real, as long as I continue to practice persistently, there will come a day when I will make that trace of 'Qi' stronger and become a true grandmaster of Transforming Energy." Wu Yang looked into the distance, a thick glimmer of hope emerging in his eyes. It was at this moment that he noticed a red sun slowly rising in the distant sky. "Damn, I didn't expect to have sat on the mountain peak all night."

Wu Yang was somewhat speechless, but despite this, he didn't feel too tired. Instead, he felt energized and hungry for food... Eh, well, now that he thought about it, he was indeed quite hungry. Stroking his flat stomach, Wu Yang decided to hurry back to the villa for some food. Additionally, today was the day he had agreed to report to Hengdong University. As a member of the Sharp Blade Hidden Dragon, he always kept his word; he couldn't afford to ruin his reputation. 'Are all young people nowadays so impolite?' A pleasant female voice caught Wu Yang's attention just as he was about to leave. The speaker was a woman of grace, embodying both intelligence and charm. Beside her were two burly men with sharp eyes,A muscular man of beast level obviously accompanied。 These three people，I noticed it as soon as Wu Yang opened his eyes，Always standing beside me，Look at him like a Western mirror。 But they are all ordinary people with physical constitution，I can't even get started with external power，How could Wu Yang feel at ease。 “young people，Did you sit there all night？”Seeing Wu Yang finally set his gaze on himself，Red Sister said with a wry smile。 Based on her background identity，Wherever I go, I am not pampered or respected by others，Unfortunately, the young man in front of me，I clearly saw her，But he kept treating her like nothing，No matter what, this makes“Red Sister”I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart。 “boy，我们Red Sister在和你说话呢，Are you mute？”见武扬只是愣愣的看着Red Sister，Not answering，The bodyguard on the side, Adong, couldn't help but shout loudly。 “hehe。 who clearly belonged to the beast level. These three had noticed Wu Yang the moment he opened his eyes and had been standing beside him, watching him as if he were a curiosity. However, they were all ordinary people with no more than a basic level of physical strength, so Wu Yang didn't pay them much mind. 'Young man, have you been sitting there all night?' Seeing that Wu Yang finally turned his gaze on her, Sister Hong couldn't help but say with a mixture of laughter and tears. With her background and status, she was usually pampered and respected wherever she went. Yet this young man, clearly seeing her, had been ignoring her as if she were nothing, which was understandably uncomfortable for 'Sister Hong.' 'Kid, our Sister Hong is talking to you, are you mute?' Seeing that Wu Yang just stared blankly at Sister Hong without responding, the bodyguard A Dong couldn't help but shout loudly. 'Hehe.'

Wu Yang grinned, asking solemnly, 'Who are you guys? Why have you been hiding in the dark and peeking at me? Haven't you ever seen a handsome guy before?' Damn it! The two bodyguards were about to spit blood. With your scrawny, stick-like figure, even if you stripped down, I'd find it offensive to my eyes, let alone peek at you? If it weren't for Sister Hong acting crazy early in the morning—no, that's not right, it was Sister Hong's curiosity... Anyway, it was Sister Hong who insisted on coming over here, otherwise, why would I, a guy with a full stomach, come up to the mountain top early in the morning to watch a little kid like you showing off?!
