Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Chapter 1154: Chapter 727: To the Three-Step Celestial, All Are Ants

As Chu Mo’s body defied the laws of physics and slowly ascended into the air, this seemingly minor action left everyone present utterly shocked.

Martial Artists possess formidable physical attributes; compared to ordinary people, a lowest-level D-ranked martial artist can leap over ten meters, while a Half-step Grandmaster can directly vault five or six meters into the air.

As for true Great Grandmasters, they can hover in the air for half a minute with their Innate True Qi fully activated.

Of course, even real Great Grandmasters absolutely cannot fly freely like birds. Relying on their Innate True Qi, coupled with a powerful run-up, remaining airborne for several tens of seconds is already the limit.

Further up the power hierarchy, the Abbot of Shaolin, Qin Lan—a peak-level senior Great Grandmaster—due to his masterly control of True Qi and the perfect closed-loop meridians within his body that provide a continuous flow of Innate True Qi, can leap upwards of ten meters without any external force and soar slowly in the air for over half an hour.

However, no matter how powerful a martial artist is, they cannot truly fly. They all rely on the massive Innate True Qi within their bodies, releasing it as a reactive force to propel themselves into the sky. Once mid-air, they absolutely cannot move freely like birds, much less change their flight direction at will.

It can be said that no matter how powerful the martial artist, true flight is impossible for them. At most, they can only use their strong physique to temporarily hover. How long they can stay airborne depends solely on the robustness of their Innate True Qi.

But now, completely different from all martial artists, Chu Mo at this moment did not release even a trace of Innate True Qi from his body. What’s more important, there was not the slightest run-up or external leverage beneath his feet, and the whole person just inexplicably, without any sign, floated into the air.

At this moment, as Chu Mo’s body continued to rise, Lei Ting and Qin Lan, who were beneath him, became incredibly respectful and humble.

If at the beginning, both Qin Lan and Lei Ting still harbored slight doubts about Chu Mo’s true strength and identity—after all, no one had ever seen Chu Mo truly make a move—now, deep in their hearts, they fully recognized Chu Mo’s invincible status.

Especially Lei Ting, who was obsessed with the martial path and held respect from the depths of his soul for the strong, had just received the reward of the Heavenly Spirit Pill from Chu Mo and now witnessed with his own eyes Chu Mo’s first display of true divine power. The excitement in his heart had reached its peak, so much that even with the incredibly resolute nature of a Great Grandmaster, Lei Ting himself couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

In contrast to the excitement of Lei Ting and Qin Lan, the shaolin Abbot, Master Zhi Shang, who normally had a serene face, finally revealed a touch of deathly stillness for the first time. Although he was regarded as the world’s number one Great Grandmaster and hailed as the foremost person in the martial arts world, facing absolute strength, Master Zhi Shang still felt a deep sense of powerlessness… Gazing at the tall young man slowly floating in mid-air, for the first time in his life, Master Zhi Shang experienced a feeling of fear.

When even the peak senior Great Grandmaster Master Zhi Shang felt helpless, behind him, the four servants of the mysterious Family Head of the Xue Family looked even more ashen-faced.

In the past, the Xue Family in Hua Country was regarded as divine beings, with martial artists of any level showing respect when hearing the name of the Xue Family, even someone as strong as the Shaolin Abbot would concede three points out of respect.

The Xue Family represented the true pinnacle of martial arts and a supreme ruling status.

If the Shaolin Abbot represents the ultimate in personal martial prowess, then the Xue Family symbolizes the pinnacle of a martial force.

The Xue Family has been secluded for decades without meddling in worldly affairs, yet their influence remains immense. Now, for the first time in decades, the Xue Family stepped back into the martial arts world, removing two mid-level Great Grandmasters at once, with the peak mid-level Great Grandmaster and young lady of the Xue Family personally taking action. Even the weakest maiden in pink clothes reached the terrifying level of a Half-step Grandmaster.

Not to mention the backing of the Xue Family, just the four individuals before them boasted the terrifying power to challenge the entire martial circle of Hua Country. It can be said that, looking across the martial world, aside from Shaolin Abbot Master Zhi Shang and the Half-step Celestial God Tiantai, who had enclosed themselves in life-and-death meditation, there was almost no one who could match these four servants.

And precisely because of this, the Xue Family acted so arrogantly and domineeringly.

They coveted the Heavenly Spirit Pill, Sharira, and the second Longevity Pill in Chu Mo’s hands, nearly claiming them from Chu Mo by outright force, even insinuating that the first attempt was just a warning and that the second move would leave Chu Mo regretting profoundly.

The Xue Family’s arrogance had reached a level of total recklessness, to the extent that even Chu Mo, representing Hua Country’s top echelon of power, felt a profound sense of powerlessness.
