UNDEFEATABLE MARTIAL MASTER, VOLUME 3 - Season 4 Episode 44

Over the next few days, Lu Wang’s side and Yin Qingleng’s side stabilized on the surface, but there were still some clashes in the dark. However, both sides were relatively restrained, so there was no open conflict.

As for Xu Ning, he did not participate in any conflict. He spent more time gathering resources.

Because he had become an instructor of the Ice Feather Institute, with the support of Jiang Xu and the others, Xu Ning obtained nearly 15,000 units of energy in just three months.

That amount of energy was enough for Xu Ning to advance his realm to the fifth rank and advance his arcane techniques.

The arcane techniques in the Arcanist World were different from the techniques in the Martial Arts World.

In the Martial Arts World, different techniques could not be linked together.

But in the Arcanist World, if the arcane technique he mastered and the arcane technique he wanted to cultivate had the same attribute and activation mechanism, he could directly advance a lower level arcane technique to a higher level arcane technique.

This was reflected in the mechanism of the Martial Arts Panel. Xu Ning could use high-level arcane techniques to replace low-level arcane techniques. In this way, he would consume less energy during the advancement process.

Three months later.

Xu Ning used the accumulated energy to advance his realm.

‘Martial Arts Panel!’

After Xu Ning advanced his realm and arcane techniques, he opened the Martial Arts Panel.

…

Name: Xu Ning

Realm: Rank Five Arcanist

Arcane Technique: Storm Barrier, Corrosive Rain, Gravitational Spiral

Remaining Energy: 370 units

…

‘This time, my strength has advanced quite a bit!’

Xu Ning was very satisfied with his improvement.

In addition to his advancement in realm, his arcane techniques had also become stronger.

Wind Barrier was upgraded to the Storm Barrier, Arrow of Corrosion was upgraded to Corrosive Rain, and Gravity Field was upgraded to Gravitational Spiral.

This allowed Xu Ning’s combat potential to reach the strength of a rank six arcanist.

‘The advancement of an arcanist is still very different from the advancement of a martial artist…’

The advancement of an arcanist’s rank purely increased the quality and strength of an arcanist’s power, allowing them to explode with greater power when using an arcane technique.

But for the advancement of a martial arts artist, every minor realm was different from each other.

‘Now that I have advanced to rank five, I don’t have to worry about Yin Qingleng’s potential threats in the Ice Feather Institute…’

Xu Ning thought to himself.

When he interacted with Yin Qingleng in the past, Xu Ning could feel Yin Qingleng’s hidden murderous intent towards him.

In the Arcanist World, the gap between ranks was far greater than in the Martial Arts World, thus it was much more difficult to kill enemies above their rank.

Moreover, in the past, Xu Ning’s arcane techniques had not improved yet, so he was not confident in killing enemies above his rank.

Therefore, Yin Qingleng’s existence was a threat to Xu Ning.

But now that his strength had improved, Yin Qingleng was no longer a lethal threat to him.

‘I should tell Jiang Xu, Xu Siqi, and the others that I have advanced to rank five…’

Xu Ning thought in his head.

He knew that after advancing to rank five, he would completely break the balance between Yin Qingleng’s side and Lu Wang’s side.

Of course, Xu Ning was willing to help Lu Wang get the position of an institute head in advance.

One reason for this was because of Jiang Xu and Lu Wang’s resources. If they hadn’t found a way to give him resources, he wouldn’t have advanced so quickly.

Secondly, once Lu Wang became an institute head, he would receive more resources in the future.

After all, the subsequent advancement consumed a lot of energy. It would take 120,000 units of energy to advance from rank five to rank six, which was almost ten times more than the energy required to advance from rank four to rank five.

However, this was basically the cost of advancing from the mid level void realm to the high level void realm in the martial arts world.

After advancing to rank five, Xu Ning walked out of his courtyard and went to find Jiang Xu.

Xu Siqi and Lu Wang were both in Jiang Xu’s study.

The three of them were discussing something with solemn expressions.

“I can feel that something is wrong with Yin Qingleng recently…”

Jiang Xu said, “He is getting more and more ruthless towards us. He seems to want to expose the conflict and start a war between the two sides…”

“Yes, I feel the same.”

Xu Siqi immediately said, “He seems to have something to rely on. It is as if he wants to increase his resistance in preparation to attack us.”

“Then what do we do?”

Lu Wang sat on the side. After hearing this, he was a little panicked.

He was still a rank three arcanist, and it was still a long way from him to advance to rank four.

“We are almost certain that Yin Qingleng will definitely not let Young Master advance to rank four safely, then obediently give up his position…”

Jiang Xu said, “He will definitely come up with certain methods before you advance to rank four. We can’t rule out the possibility that he will do something to you. Although you are under the protection of the other instructors and me, Yin Qingleng has still tried to assassinate you before.”

“Mmm…”

After Jiang Xu finished speaking, the atmosphere between the three was a little tense.

Although their forces were similar in the competition at the Ice Feather Institute, on Yin Qingleng’s side, he was a rank five arcanist, which was quite an oppressive force to them.

“Brother Jiang.”

Right at this moment, Xu Ning rushed over.

He was already familiar with Jiang Xu, so he just pushed open the door and entered.

“Young Institute Head Xu.”

Xu Ning greeted the other two.

Xu Ning had already sensed that the two of them were also in the room.

It was great timing as Xu Ning could tell them the news of his advancement to rank five to everyone.

“Xu Ning?”

After seeing Xu Ning come in, the three of them all stood up and were quite polite to Xu Ning.

After three months of getting along with each other, they also discovered that Xu Ning was sincerely on their side.

“I came here today to tell the three of you something.”

Xu Ning said, “I have advanced to a rank five arcanist.”

“You have advanced to a rank five arcanist!?”

Jiang Xu, Xu Siqi and Lu Wang were stunned at first, then they were overjoyed.

Xu Ning used this opportunity to slightly release his rank five aura, allowing the three of them to sense his strength.

“Sure enough, you are rank five!”

Jiang Xu and Xu Siqi looked at each other and laughed.

Lu Wang stood aside and was a little excited.

At the same time, he looked at Xu Ning with a hint of reverence in his eyes.

He was similar in age to Xu Ning, but Xu Ning had already advanced to a rank five arcanist before he even touched the threshold of rank four.

“Xu Ning has advanced to rank five, which means that we have enough combat power to fight against Yin Qingleng!”

Jiang Xu’s heart trembled with excitement.

Prior to this, he was still worried about the oppression of Yin Qingleng’s realm, but now that Xu Ning was a rank five arcanist, his worries were solved.

Xu Ning had made up for their biggest weakness.
