Only three skills? Lu Yuan was slightly taken aback.

He knew that during his advancement to Grandmaster from the Fighter class, most of the skills on the Fighter panel had been completely integrated into his very being, becoming instinctual. Those active and passive skills, normal attacks, Sure-kill Skills, and Super Kill Skills, had long been at his beck and call, to be used whenever and however he pleased.

The only things Lu Yuan found regrettable were the three Core Skills of the Fighter profession.

The [Ultimate Outburst] isn't a concern. I've already mastered an even more sophisticated technique of high-frequency muscle vibration for power generation than [Ultimate Outburst]. It's mainly [Imaginary Enemy] and [Unconquerable Instinct], these two Core Skills. One is a divine skill to aid cultivation, the other a divine skill to assist in battle. Without the fixed effect of the panel, I don't even know if I can still use them.

As Lu Yuan was lamenting, he suddenly noticed a line of small text at the bottom of the [Martial Arts Master (Supernatural)] panel: [Check Upgraded Skills].

He clicked on it, and a folded page appeared.

On this page were three new skills that felt both familiar and foreign to Lu Yuan:

lv1 [Grandmaster Force]

lv1 [Grandmaster Meditation Battle]

lv1 [Grandmaster Instinct]

These were precisely the advanced versions of the three major Fighter Core Skills he had been longing for.

Perfect timing to test the new skills one by one…

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment. Instead of actively activating the skills, he closed his eyes and attempted to autonomously enter the Consciousness Space he had accessed countless times when using [Imaginary Enemy].

The process went smoothly. In no time, Lu Yuan found himself within a hazy, murky world.

Before him stood a man whose demeanor was as chilly as an iceberg: Han Xun, a Four-winged Flying Bear and an SSS-level New Martial expert. He was currently the most suitable benchmark Lu Yuan could find.

Heaven Lord Wu Chao would also barely qualify… Lu Yuan thought casually.

Suddenly, a figure flickered into existence before him—the amiable Heaven Lord Wu Chao had quietly appeared.

Uh… Lu Yuan was stunned.

Can I set multiple imaginary opponents at the same time now? Is this the effect of [Imaginary Enemy] upgrading to [Grandmaster Meditation Battle]?

Lu Yuan experimented, and in the next second, the indolent Yu Wentong also materialized in the Consciousness Space.

Lu Yuan began to understand. His intelligence had broken the limit for the second time, and his Spiritual Power had greatly improved. It felt somewhat like a computer CPU upgrade, making him capable of processing more numerous and complex pieces of information. Previously, he could only simulate battles against a single opponent; now, he could simulate multiple opponents simultaneously.

The simulation limit of Meditation Battle is related to my intelligence... So, every time I tried to inhabit Yu Wentong's body, it wasn't that she was genuinely so strong she could dissolve my consciousness. Rather, the power within her body was so immense that my brain simply couldn't fully simulate it...

Lu Yuan contemplated, stroking his chin.

However, if someone's strength was so great that [Imaginary Enemy] couldn't simulate them, they could probably dissolve Lu Yuan directly; there wasn't much difference between the two scenarios.

I wonder if I can simulate it now?

Lu Yuan stared intently at Yu Wentong. Perhaps due to his enhanced intelligence, the effects of [Meditation Battle] were improving. The opponents he simulated now possessed, to varying degrees, some of their original personality traits, no longer cold and mechanical like before.

After he stared for a while, this simulated Yu Wentong even glared back at him in annoyance.

Lu Yuan hastily averted his gaze.

After some thought, Lu Yuan first attempted Consciousness Inhabitation into Heaven Lord Wu Chao's body.

The moment he possessed the body, a feeling of fatigue and decay washed over him. Wu Chao's body wasn't actually old; it was more than ten times stronger than any Grandmaster Level Fighter Lu Yuan had encountered before. But it was like a machine that had been running for a long time; despite good maintenance, it still gave off a sense of sluggishness and stuttering.

It seems Longevity Materials can only prolong life, not restore youthfulness. Perhaps this is why Wu Chao is so eager to forge a new path upward...

Lu Yuan had primarily entered Wu Chao's body to see if there were any Grandmaster blood spheres within.

Evidently, there were none.

However, Wu Chao's overall physical constitution still far surpassed Lu Yuan's current state. Lu Yuan estimated that Wu Chao had likely reached 29 in all four Basic Attributes, nearing the cusp of breaking the limit for the second time. Without the ability to allocate attribute points, relying solely on arduous cultivation, it was hard to imagine how he had achieved such a feat. Those more than two hundred years had truly not been lived in vain.

Lu Yuan withdrew from Wu Chao's body and then performed Consciousness Inhabitation into Han Xun's body.

Han Xun's Spiritual Power intensity is similar to mine. It seems that after my intelligence broke the limit for the second time, my Spiritual Power has also reached a level equivalent to a second-order Light of Spirit...

From this, Lu Yuan deduced that his normal combat power should be at the SSS-level.

Of course, whether or not he could actually reach SSS-level would still require verification through actual combat.

Lu Yuan's consciousness returned to his own body, his gaze sweeping over Han Xun and Heaven Lord Wu Chao.

"You two... come at me together," he spoke faintly. Yu Wentong, beside him, cast an inquiring look his way, but he pretended not to see it.

The former two wasted no words, slowly closing in on Lu Yuan from the left and right. Two auras quietly surged—one cold and sharp as an ancient glacier, the other vast and majestic like a celestial palace.

Lu Yuan's expression remained unchanged as he silently invoked "[Grandmaster Instinct]" in his mind. He didn't deliberately activate it, but he clearly felt the dormant battle instinct within his blood and bones begin to awaken. His brain started to automatically deduce all possible offensive maneuvers Han Xun and Wu Chao might make next.

In terms of realm, it was a level higher than lv3 [Unconquerable Instinct]. It had already begun to transform passivity into proactivity.

Interesting.

Lu Yuan's eyes remained clear and bright, yet a faint golden light emanated from their depths. In terms of visible effects, [Grandmaster Instinct] also seemed somewhat more advanced than [Unconquerable Instinct].

HISS—

Lu Yuan took a light breath. White light bloomed from his five viscera, and his bones and muscles resonated. A dull thunderous sound burst from his chest cavity. The blood sphere in his chest began to spin faster, his vitality and blood surging like a tide.

HUM—

His rapidly vibrating muscles, like countless taut bowstrings, released in unison. His legs instantly erupted with an indescribable, terrifying power.

[Grandmaster Force]!

BANG!

Lu Yuan left a blurry afterimage in his original spot. The sonic boom only erupted after he disappeared. His instantaneous burst speed had clearly surpassed the sound barrier, something he could never have achieved before.

BOOM!

An ordinary-looking punch struck Han Xun's chest.

Every detail of the entire process was crystal clear to Lu Yuan. The timeline seemed to stretch. He could clearly see his fist striking Han Xun's surrounding Power Field, creating dense, transparent ripples that were on the verge of exploding. It broke through with ease. Then, before the slightest expression of shock or unpreparedness could appear on Han Xun's face, the punch landed heavily on him.

RUMBLE!

A sound like a clap of thunder exploded. Han Xun was sent flying like a cannonball.

HUFF—

Lu Yuan exhaled a visible stream of white air. His body flickered, leaving another afterimage as he vanished again. In the next instant, Heaven Lord Wu Chao, who had just managed to adopt a defensive stance to the side, was also sent flying by his punch.

Awesome!

Lu Yuan's arms hung naturally at his sides. For a moment, his eyes gleamed, and his spirits soared. He had shattered the Power Field of Han Xun's SSS-class [Cold Prison Body] with a single bare-fisted punch. Who would dare say Pure Martial arts were ineffective now?

The instantaneous Fist Strength of that punch just now was conservatively estimated at over a thousand tons. Previously, the explosive force and recoil from such a punch alone would have been enough to make his body explode. Now, it was effortlessly neutralized by his "Real Grandmaster's Body," a physique that combined the five Legendary Level talents of the Ancient Martial Arts World. It was simply... a divine being on earth!

Seeing Han Xun struggle to his feet after being sent flying, cold mist emanating from his body, a murderous look on his face as he was about to counterattack him, a smile touched Lu Yuan's lips. He uttered lightly, "Domain!"

[Grandmaster Domain]!

A false Grandmaster's aura is called a Grandmaster Power Field.

A true Grandmaster's aura... is called a Grandmaster Domain!

The moment the skill activated, Lu Yuan immediately felt the golden light in his mind shine brilliantly. Following that, the liquid Spiritual Power enveloping the golden light cascaded like water, blending with the blood sphere in his chest.

Then… BOOM!

An indescribably terrifying wave of Qi erupted from Lu Yuan's body.

In an instant, time seemed to freeze for a moment within a radius of several tens of meters around him. The air around him became incredibly viscous. The air was in an extreme state of distortion; viewed from the outside, his entire figure became blurry.

Han Xun, caught within the domain, noticeably slowed. Heaven Lord Wu Chao, who had been struggling to rise, now found it even more difficult.

Lu Yuan slowly contracted the domain. The sense of distortion around him became even more pronounced. In the end, numerous illusions appeared around him, as if countless unseen figures were howling madly around him.

HUFF—

Lu Yuan felt this power, a sensation of having everything under control. His eyes gleamed as he murmured, "So... is this the power of the Domain?"

It was more than a hundred times stronger than the so-called Grandmaster Power Field!

Even if I don't enter the [Elephant God: Ming King Stance (Supernatural)] now, just by relying on the maximally compressed power of this Domain, I should be able to resist the impact of a nuclear bomb to some extent...

WHOOSH—

From the corner of his eye, he caught a brilliant ice-blue gleam. Looking up, he saw Han Xun within the domain. His body shimmered blue and white as he held an ice-blue long knife, emanating a murderous aura. Han Xun was breaking through the layers of resistance in the air, rapidly attacking him.

Good timing.

Lu Yuan smiled faintly. The next second, an intense white light shone from his body.

[Grandmaster Universe Qi]!

It was different from ordinary Grandmaster Universe Qi. His Universe Qi was white mixed with a hint of gold, closer to a platinum color. The platinum-colored Universe Qi emanated from his body, condensing around Lu Yuan into a radiance like thunder and lightning. His entire body was wreathed in platinum-colored lightning; even the tips of his hair were tinged a faint platinum-gold.

He took a step forward.

He took to the air, as if a god had descended!

He punched out!

BOOM!

A platinum meteor descended from the sky, colliding fiercely with the ice-blue glow below. A terrifying energy shockwave kicked up layers of earth and stone, and a small mushroom cloud slowly rose.

When the dust settled, in the center of the battle, a flesh palm wreathed in platinum lightning pressed against an ice-blue blade edge, striking off countless gold and blue sparks.

RUMBLE!

A palm, carrying the might of a majestic Heavenly Palace, attacked from behind, striking heavily at the center of Lu Yuan's back. Yet, it always remained a few centimeters from Lu Yuan's body, blocked by the platinum lightning, unable to advance an inch.

Wu Chao's face showed surprise at the failure of his sneak attack. Before he could react further, Lu Yuan had already turned his head slightly.

"Heaven Lord, your era has passed... The spectator stands are more suitable for you now."

Having said that, he threw a backhand punch. Interweaving platinum lightning directly shattered the grand illusion of the Heavenly Palace in the void. Heaven Lord Wu Chao was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, completely exiting the battlefield.

Before him, Han Xun, who had already retracted his long knife and retreated, now wore a somewhat solemn expression. He gripped his long knife with both hands. Large swathes of frigid air converged towards the ice-blue blade. His body emitted a shimmering, ice-blue light as a terrifying power brewed in his hands.

HISS— Lu Yuan's eyes showed no ripple of emotion; instead, he took a light breath.

He began to activate the final skill on the [Martial Arts Master (Supernatural)] panel—

[Grandmaster... Dharma]!

Before becoming a Grandmaster, he often jokingly referred to his immense True Intention, far beyond that of ordinary people, as a Dharma. Now that he had truly stepped into the Grandmaster realm and a true Dharma skill had appeared... What kind of surprise would it bring him?!

Lu Yuan was very much looking forward to it.
