Level Up in Martial World

"Cough…" Xia Jia vomited blood again as his teeth were all broken, and his face was deformed from all the punches he took from Lu Zhen and Lu Ying.

Although his clothes were relatively fine, they were fully soaked in blood, making his blue clothes mixed with blood look violet in colour.

His condition was extremely miserable as he was punched back and forth with no chance to counter or use any combat arts. He couldn't even use a forbidden art since the time it took to use it; Lu Zhen could kill him ten times over at that time.

"You are really something of a little monster…" he laughed, but a punch came at him with no reply.

Xia Jia regretted putting the barrier up. If he wasn't an idiot and had put the barrier up previously, he could have been safe and sound. After all, he could run away no matter how strong both of them were. As long as he could run, they couldn't do anything to him. But now that he had to face them with no chance of escaping, he was in deep trouble.

Another punch came at him; however, this time he closed his eyes as if he was in deep thought before abruptly opening his eyes right when the fist was going to connect to his face. He took a pill from thin air and bit the pill.

Boom!

A terrifying wind current was produced around him, sending Lu Zhen hurtling.

"This…" Lu Zhen looked at the man in surprise.

"Quick, he is using intent," Lu Ying said, her voice filled with surprise as she attacked. However, this time, her terrifying gloves full of spikes were stopped in mid-air by him.

Her eyes widened as she was launched into the air and sent flying back by an invisible attack.

Xia Jia's gaze looked mortal as he observed both Lu Zhen and Lu Ying.

"This Intent is truly fascinating…" Xia Jia looked at his hands and body; however, except for the blood

Although it didn't look like anything of his was changed, his internal organs were almost squeezed out from using strength he was not supposed to possess, while his Qi rapidly drained, with his vitality slowly draining.

"What is this?" Lu Zhen's eyes widened.

"This is… Intent…" Lu Ying's eyes widened as she couldn't believe her eyes. "What was that pill he took?"

Intent was the signature of first-stage martial artists and could only be gained when one masters one martial art to its peak. Not even Lu Ying had it.

"Now mock me as much as you want." A sneer appeared on Xia Jia's face as he disappeared from his position and appeared right in front of Lu Zhen and punched.

Lu Zhen's instinct screamed as he quickly backstepped; however, he was still sent hurtling from just the sheer push of the man's fist.

As he landed on the ground, he looked up to see Xia Jia disappear from his position, and a huge wind blast came at him.

Lu Zhen's eyes widened when he saw the wind blast.

Although it was relatively small, he felt a sense of danger that he had never felt before.

With Lu Zhen's heart beating a skip, he opened his mouth and crossed his fingers, his mind swirling with thousands of thoughts in seconds.

Boom!

As the wind blast was slowly sucked into his mouth like a black hole, this time his stomach started to inflate, and then his entire body inflated as if he was going to burst.

After he absorbed all the wind blast, all that was left was Lu Zhen, full like a balloon with no muscle at all. Luckily, his body was slowly taking the massive amount of Qi he had gained and converting it for his own use.

Unluckily, he didn't have time right now for escaping.

From the corner of his eyes, Lu Zhen could see the prompt of his level up in his skills.

But he couldn't care less right now or he might die seeing his level up prompt right now.

Lu Zhen kicked the ground and instantly floated in the air, narrowly dodging a punch that came directly from Xia Jia.

As the punch was stopped mid-way, the direction Xia Jia punched the ground made faint creaking noises, as if in pain, before knocking out at least ten, attacking the barrier. However, the barrier was unmoving, and didn't even ripple.

"I am going to die." This thought came to Lu Zhen's mind when he saw the sheer power of the punch, just by punching, while he couldn't move in his inflated state in mid-air.

So he had no choice.

Luckily, Lu Ying directly came and attacked, but it was entirely useless against Xia Jia as he didn't flinch from the attack, with a glint of mockery in his eyes.

His eyes moved, and she was again sent flying back.

Lu Zhen's eyes shined as he saw a faint form around Xia Jia that he couldn't previously see.

Xia Jia was covered in an armour which looked exactly like him, covering his entire body and reaching about fifteen feet, which was about 450 cm. However, there was a distinctive feature: his mouth was like a white dragon snout with a tail of a dragon sticking out from his butt, all covered in Japanese-style armour.

But the form had numerous patches in its body, as if it was injured from countless battles, like a warrior.

Although it was relatively hard to see, for even a martial trainee, it could be seen as clear as day.

"You also have the intent to form armour…" Lu Ying coughed as she looked at him with a contemplative expression, her previous fear disappearing, replaced by a cold face that had a hint of mockery in her gaze as she looked at him with a smile on her face.

"Eh." Suddenly, Xia Jia felt something was wrong as the spirit seemed to tremble instinctively.
