Chapter 89 - 89: A Carp Leaps Over the Dragon Gate, First Level Dragon Gate, First Level Heaven!
This martial art is called “Threefold Waves!”
It was an explosively powerful martial art, characterized by extreme strength and ferocity, with exceptionally high continuity.
There were a total of three levels of Waves.
Once the first Wave was unleashed, if the opponent couldn’t break through the user’s techniques, it would be followed by the second and third Waves, each more powerful than the last!
The first Wave could unleash nearly full power.
With the second Wave, strength could be increased by fifty percent.
The third Wave doubled the user’s strength directly.
This martial art was truly formidable.
However, the Threefold Waves could only enhance strength and not physical resilience, which was inferior to the Dragon God Transformation secret technique.
But the Dragon God Transformation was just a secret technique, not a martial art.
The Threefold Waves belonged to the category of cumulative martial arts, with a powerful and aggressive style that focused on overwhelming the opponent with brute force, completely sacrificing defense in favor of relentless attack.
It was a “life or death” situation!
If one could truly master the Threefold Waves, the improvement in strength would be substantial.
The only difficulty lay in the requirement for exceptional comprehension to master it.
Yanjian Sheng from the past probably lacked the necessary comprehension and couldn’t master the Threefold Waves.
Otherwise, if Yanjian Sheng had mastered it, Lu Changsheng might not have had the upper hand with just the Dragon God Transformation, and the outcome could have been different.
Lu Changsheng indeed had exceptional comprehension, but it still took him several days to master the first level of the Threefold Waves.
Furthermore, he could foresee that mastering the second level would take a much longer time.
“It seems that at the Divine Power Realm level, regardless of martial arts, techniques, or secret methods, they are all quite challenging.”
Upon careful consideration, Lu Changsheng realized that it was normal.
Which martial artist capable of ascending to the Divine Power Realm didn’t possess outstanding talent and comprehension far beyond the ordinary?
The martial arts, techniques, and secret methods created by such martial artists were naturally not easy to master, requiring even higher levels of comprehension and talent.
Regarding talent, Lu Changsheng was not exceptionally outstanding.
In fact, many martial arts didn’t align well with Lu Changsheng’s abilities.
However, Lu Changsheng managed to master them to perfection through his exceptional comprehension.
The same held true now.
Lu Changsheng’s current level of comprehension could still handle martial arts and techniques up to the tenth level or so.
However, going beyond the tenth level was becoming a bit challenging.
Even if he could master them, it would take a lot of time.
According to Lu Changsheng’s current estimation, the tenth level was roughly equivalent to the Divine Power Realm.
Here is the translation of the provided text using the past tense and the terms you provided:
“I should go check out Miaoshou Garden,” Lu Changsheng said.
Lu Changsheng pushed open the door. He had been in seclusion for a few days, and it had been a while since he last visited Miaoshou Garden.
In fact, it was not unusual for Lu Changsheng to occasionally go “missing” for a few days, and Miaoshou Garden had become accustomed to it. He had even explicitly instructed them that they need not worry if he didn’t visit Miaoshou Garden from time to time; he would naturally reappear after some time.
Soon, Lu Changsheng arrived at Miaoshou Garden.
“Doctor Lu, you’ve finally come,” Zhang Huan exclaimed.
“These past few days, several patients have come, all waiting for you.”
Zhang Huan promptly brewed a cup of hot tea.
“I went out for a while; now, you can let the patients in.”
Lu Changsheng then started seeing the patients one by one.
He worked tirelessly throughout the morning and finally had a break at noon.
At that moment, the pharmacist from Miaoshou Garden brought a batch of medicinal herbs.
“Wait, what is this?” Lu Changsheng suddenly stopped the pharmacist and pointed to one of the medicinal herbs.
“This is Ancient Rock Resin, made from refining Ancient Rock Resin by the Holocaust Sect.”
“This Ancient Rock Resin can calm the mind and improve complexion and longevity if inhaled for an extended period.”
The pharmacist explained.
Lu Changsheng furrowed his brow.
Only a few days ago, he had completely destroyed the main gate of the Holocaust Sect, so why was Miaoshou Garden now cooperating with them?
“Zhang Huan, what’s going on?”
Lu Changsheng asked.
In reality, Ancient Rock Resin couldn’t be considered a medicinal herb, but if it had benefits for longevity, it could be sold in a pharmacy.
“Do you not know, Doctor Lu?”
“A few days ago, the Holocaust Sect was singlehandedly defeated by Hero Zhuang, with their sect leader and elders all eliminated. Even the main gate of the Holocaust Sect was destroyed.”
“Shortly afterward, I don’t know how, but the Holocaust Sect reinstated a new sect leader and started collaborating with various major forces in Nanyang City, jointly controlling the trade of Ancient Rock Resin.”
“We, Miaoshou Garden, have also taken a share, and now we are selling Ancient Rock Resin, which is greatly beneficial to Miaoshou Garden.”
Lu Changsheng understood it with a little thought.
While the Holocaust Sect was not completely eradicated, it was as good as destroyed. Without a sect leader in the Divine Power Realm or refining elders, the Holocaust Sect had essentially been divided among various major forces in Nanyang City, all sharing the benefits of Ancient Rock Resin.
This involved a lot of negotiations, allocation, and disputes, and even Miaoshou Garden had gotten involved.
However, this had nothing to do with Lu Changsheng. In fact, having the Holocaust Sect retain a semblance of existence was somewhat good news for him.
At least, when he went to buy Ancient Rock Resin, there would probably be no one to stop him.
Furthermore, the name of “Hero Zhuang” had reached its peak of popularity in Nanyang Prefecture, and almost everyone knew about it.
Zhuang, the Thirteenth Hero of Nanyang Prefecture, a Divine Power Realm expert!
Single-handedly defeating the Holocaust Sect’s main gate, defeating Yanjian Sheng, and annihilating fifteen refining elders, what a terrifying achievement!
“Well, in the future, using the identity of ‘Hero Zhuang,’ many things will likely become much easier,” Lu Changsheng thought to himself..
