Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!

Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Meng Peng Breaks Through (Seeking Follow-Up Readings) Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Meng Peng Breaks Through (Seeking Follow-Up Readings) With Gu Qingfeng’s declaration, many in the Martial World scoffed, thinking that the Gu Family, with its shallow roots, was delusional to think that even with Gu Qingfeng, who was hailed as the strongest in White Stone Dao, they could truly rule over the entire White Stone Dao.

So,
many martial artists were waiting for the three days to pass to witness the spectacle at the Gu Family.

If no factions appeared, and they lost face, it would be interesting to see how they would handle the situation.

Meanwhile,
Qin Hongtang’s face darkened when he received this news.

“What is the Gu Family trying to imply, that they think just because of Gu Qingfeng, all the powers of White Stone Dao would bow down in submission?”
Originally, according to the old ancestor of the Qin Family, there was no need to offend the Gu Family especially after the destruction of Iron Bone Gang; the Qin Family had planned to bring a generous gift to the Gu Family, which would allow both parties to save face and then live without further trouble.

But before Qin Hongtang could act, the Gu Family made their move.

At this time,
if the Qin Family really bowed down, the prestige they had accumulated over many years would be completely lost.

At that moment,
other Qin Family elders also looked displeased.

“Gu Qingfeng really thinks he is the top expert of White Stone Dao and that the Gu Family can dominate the whole White Stone Dao?

I don’t believe he would really dare to make a move!”
“Exactly, the Qin Family is not made of clay.

We gave face to the Gu Family by acknowledging their status in White Stone Dao.

If we hadn’t, what would Gu Qingfeng count for—”
The Qin Family were filled with righteous indignation and held much disdain for the Gu Family.

It was still the same line.

They believed Gu Qingfeng was really getting ahead of himself.

At the same time,
no one believed that the Gu Family really had the guts to make a move.

White Stone Dao was neither too large nor too small, but even if Gu Qingfeng was strong, in the minds of the Qin Family, it was impossible to contend with the entire Martial World.

Qin Hongtang’s expression was icy: “We need not pay attention to the Gu Family’s affairs, but I want to see how Gu Qingfeng will end up handling this!”
…

“Gu Qingfeng—”
Within Heavenly Cloud Sect, Yun Changkong looked at the news from the Gu Family, his old face full of disdain.

In front of him,
stood Yun Tianxing.

“Supreme Elder, now that the Gu Family has eliminated the Chu Family and Iron Bone Gang and is currently influential, if we don’t take action, could it bring us some trouble?”
“The mad get caught in the rain, and the arrogant court disaster.

The Gu Family has destroyed Iron Bone Gang, and they are doomed not to last long.

Luo Yu is a man of Divine Martial King and although the grand army of Divine Martial King has not yet entered Taishan County,
for a mere Gu Family to attempt to compete with Divine Martial King is a suicide mission.

Once the news of Iron Bone Gang’s destruction spreads, I believe without our intervention, Divine Martial King will directly annihilate the Gu Family.”
Yun Changkong sneered dismissively.

Offending Divine Martial King in Qingyun State was tantamount to a death sentence.

If one were to mention the greatest power in Qingyun State, aside from the court, it would have to be Divine Martial King.

Under his command, a million-strong army, and the owner of three counties, many powerful people; not to mention one Gu Family, even ten or a hundred Gu Families wouldn’t be a match for Divine Martial King.

Yun Tianxing’s demeanor also turned solemn.

He was well aware of Divine Martial King’s renowned status.

But if it were not for Yun Changkong’s mention, Yun Tianxing wouldn’t have known Iron Bone Gang was associated with him.

“So according to the Supreme Elder’s view, we should disregard the Gu Family’s affairs?”
Yun Changkong nodded.

“There’s no need to bother, Gu Qingfeng has underestimated everyone else indeed.

Let’s see how he wraps this up three days later.”
…

Gu Family.

In the backyard,
Gu Qingfeng was practicing the Heavenly Thunder Sword Skills.

In his hand was a remarkable Divine Weapon, named the Heavenly Gang Sword, a medium-grade Divine Weapon.

Medium-grade Divine Weapons were rare.

At least, they were rare in White Stone Dao.

The Divine Weapon originally belonged to the Iron Bone Gang.

After the Iron Bone Gang was annihilated, Gu Qingfeng obtained this Divine Weapon from the Iron Bone Gang’s treasury.

Just perfect.

Due to Gu Yang’s breakthrough to Refining Skin Perfection, Gu Qingfeng obtained a set of mid-tier Martial Arts named Heavenly Thunder Sword Skills.

These mid-tier Martial Arts, at this stage, were among the top tier, much stronger than the average mid-tier Martial Arts, and considered to be on the same level as the Fiery Sun Divine Palm.

However, the difference lay in the fact that
the Fiery Sun Divine Palm involved both internal and external cultivation.

It not only strengthened the qi and blood, improving a martial artist’s cultivation, but also had matching combat techniques.

The Heavenly Thunder Sword Skills, on the other hand, focused entirely on combat techniques.

In terms of the intricacy of the techniques, they were even stronger than those of the Fiery Sun Divine Palm.

Since acquiring the Heavenly Thunder Sword Skills, Gu Qingfeng had been continuously contemplating this supreme art.

Unfortunately,
the Heavenly Thunder Sword Skills were so profound and unparalleled that Gu Qingfeng had not been able to even begin mastering them.

In light of this,
Gu Qingfeng didn’t pay it much mind.

He knew his talents were not high, and his comprehension abilities were not particularly strong.

Mastering such mid-tier Martial Arts was naturally no simple matter.

Furthermore,
this time from both the Chu Family and the Iron Bone Gang, he had also plundered several mid-tier Martial Arts, but Gu Qingfeng had no immediate thoughts of cultivating these mid-tier arts.

After all, the essence of Martial Arts was in quality, not quantity.

He had practiced other lower-tier Martial Arts previously mainly because his existing arts had ceased to improve, which was why he switched to other arts.

But now, without even having mastered the Heavenly Thunder Sword Skills, cultivating other mid-tier Martial Arts seemed rather greedy.

Additionally—
During this period, Gu Qingfeng also taught the complete Gu Family Boxing to Meng Peng.

Not only that.

Gu Qingfeng had taught Gu Family Boxing to some guards who had joined the Gu Family for a long time and were quite loyal.

With many mid-tier Martial Arts in hand, Gu Qingfeng felt no need to cling solely to Gu Family Boxing.

Most importantly,
the Gu Family now needed a sufficient number of strong individuals.

Otherwise,
it would be unreasonable for the vast Gu Family to have only Gu Qingfeng a half step into the Bone Refining Realm, and not even one in the Blood Refining Realm.

Because of this,
Gu Qingfeng gifted Meng Peng ten Blood Refining Pills to help him attempt a breakthrough into the Blood Refining Realm.

The majority of the remaining Blood Refining Pills were given to Gu Yang to hasten his advancement into the Blood Refining Realm.

As for himself,
he seldom used the Blood Refining Pills for cultivation anymore.

Having stepped into half step of the Bone Refining Realm, the effectiveness of the Blood Refining Pills had become limited.

Moreover,
with the characteristics of the Fiery Sun Divine Palm, Gu Qingfeng could advance to the Bone Refining Realm naturally without needing any elixirs.

Therefore,
rather than wasting the Blood Refining Pills on himself, it was better to use them to develop strong fighters within the Gu Family.

Among them,
Gu Yang was the main focus of Gu Qingfeng’s cultivation efforts.

Whether he could break through to a higher level depended largely on Gu Yang.

—
In the blink of an eye,
three days passed.

Meng Peng came from outside.

“Subordinate pays respect to the Family Head.”
Gu Qingfeng looked at the aura surrounding Meng Peng, which was clearly different from before, and his eyes immediately sparkled.

“Have you broken through to the Blood Refining Realm?”
