Level Up in Martial World

Whoosh!

A wind current was produced as Lu Zhen directly reached the ceiling of the room.

"I can finally fly…" Lu Zhen thought with some excitement. After all, normally martial artists in the second-stage martial realm cannot fly, but with his wings, he had a tactical advantage against other second-stage martial artists.

"I have the high ground!" he playfully shouted out loud as he mused to himself before turning calm again and assessing his situation.

Lu Zhen slowly landed on the ground with a contemplative expression. He didn't like his tail at all.

"Oh well, the tail might be useful someday, or I could just cut it. But from looking at my transformation, this Volgrith form looks to be a combination of ogre, succubus, and minotaur mythical creatures from my previous world." Lu Zhen frowned as he looked at the portrait of the ancestor, who looked completely different from him now.

"Is my bloodline different from the one of the others?" Although there were similarities between the ancestor of the bloodline family and Lu Zhen, he had started to differ since he developed his wings, as the ancestor didn't have wings in the portrait.

After all, he still needed to see the portrait to go back to his human form.

"System, am I different from the other bloodline users?" Lu Zhen asked, puzzled by the wings. Although he was happy to get them, he still needed to know why he got them. Although he had his own conjecture, it was better to ask the system.

[Host, it might be due to the demonic cultivation technique. The system doesn't have enough data to tell.]

He nodded his head as his conjecture was the same.

"I wonder how strong I am in this form now?" Lu Zhen, seeing his transformed state, thought curiously. Although he didn't like staying in this form much, his raw strength was the highest in this transformation, so it was undoubtedly his biggest trump card.

"Now for the important part." He controlled his greenish blood, which was emitting a terrifying heat like nuclear radiation; however, it had become relatively calm as if he had tamed it.

"Status." Lu Zhen opened his system with a thought.

Lu Zhen's eyes widened when he saw the increase in his lifespan, which had reached 200 years. That means he can live for two hundred more years now. He was almost nearing the lifespan of a first-stage martial artist, which is around three hundred if you round it up.

However, that was not the initial focus; he looked at the cultivation technique section.

[Cultivation technique: Verdant Art (Stage 2), Heaven-Refining Demonic Qi]

Lu Zhen absorbed a small strand of attributeless Qi from the air before he willed his bloodline to refine it.

Boom!

Like thunder shaking, he almost instantly converted the attributeless Qi to demonic Qi.

"So how do I use this thing?" Lu Zhen willed as he controlled the demonic Qi and curiously guided it toward his hands.

Boom!

Lu Zhen's hand expanded to a terrifying degree as the demonic Qi was absorbed by it like a sponge.

His eyes widened when he saw his inflated arm, which was at least 50 cm with muscles all over. He couldn't even carry the weight, and he slightly bent from the sheer weight of his hand.

Crisp!

The moment his hand touched the floor like a spider's web, it broke directly, reaching the soil underneath it as it too fell down even lower as it couldn't support the sheer of his arms. The ground itself caved in, his arms emitting a terrifying aura that shocked Lu Zhen to the core.

However, he quickly recollected himself as he skillfully controlled his muscle fibres and stopped his hand from descending even lower.

"How dangerous…" Lu Zhen said, his eyes narrowed to a slit.

After a minute, his hand slowly returned back to normal, as if nothing had happened to him in the first place.

He regained his calm as thoughts swirled in his mind. Since his Wood Qi was temporarily gone from his body, he couldn't use it, which decreased his combat power significantly. However, this new demonic Qi gave him a new idea.

"Let me try that…" Lu Zhen thought as he closed his eyes, sensing the greenish clouds of blood again.

The mental energy he had just mixed in with the blood, he willed it forcefully, trying to close the green blood.

Boom!

Lu Zhen violently coughed blood, but there was excitement in his eyes.

His height decreased to his normal size, while his wings, tail, and horn disappeared, with his silvery skin returning back to his normal skin tone.

"Finally, I don't have to rely on this crappy painting anymore," Lu Zhen cursed as he looked at the painting of the ancestor.

Although he wanted to burn it, Lu Zhen didn't in the end. On second thought, it was better for him to keep it. Who knows, it might be useful to him in the future.

He converted another strand of attributeless Qi into Demonic Qi again and applied it to his arm, and this time the results were different.

His arm expanded rapidly, filled with power, although it wasn't to an exaggerated degree. Still, his arms were filled with muscle, and veins popped out, covering his arms like armor.

But it quickly returned to its initial size as his demonic Qi fully depleted, prompting Lu Zhen's excitement.

"Just like I expected, the increase in power if I use it in my transformed state is dangerous, but I can still use it normally."
