For an average Super Grade expert, if they can engage in combat, using the Extre State seven or eight tis and the Limit-Breaking Skill over twenty tis in a day is already impressive.
It should be noted that at the Ninth Grade, the Extre State cannot be casually used; each use requires rest.
The Limit-Breaking Skill also imposes a burden on the body.
In lower-grade martial arts, there’s simply no concept of a Limit-Breaking Skill.
In higher-grade martial arts, the Limit-Breaking Skill is often used as a trump card.
By the Ninth Grade, most superior martial arts have developed an Extre State comprised of multiple Limit-Breaking Skills combined.
The Limit-Breaking Skill slowly becos a standard move that can be used at will.
But this doesn’t an that the Limit-Breaking Skill can be released in large quantities in a short ti.
Just like Zhang Rongfang at this mont.
He was breathing slightly, feeling his entire body of muscles and bones groan and wail.
It had been nearly eight hours, sixteen hours already!!
Sotis seizing the opportunity, he could conserve energy without using the Extre State.
If he failed to seize the opportunity, he had no choice but to use the Extre State.
In this way, alone he used the Extre State over fifty tis and the Limit-Breaking Skill over two hundred tis....
Such consumption had long exceeded the limits that Super Grade External dicine could endure.
The Rebel Sect experts circling around him had gone from initial surprise to shock to numbness.
Until this mont, Zhang Rongfang finally showed signs of fatigue.
Only then did Zhang Yunqi and the others breathe a sigh of relief.
"Godfather.... the young master... with only External dicine has such terrifying endurance. Such talent, we originally thought it impossible for such an anomaly to exist in the world. Now... we are truly convinced!"
Zhang Yunqi’s adopted daughter Zhang Zhenhai looked at the scene with a complex expression, her voice lowered.
"What is a person of exemplary lineage? This is it!" Zhang Yunqi took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.
"I once talked to the envoys about the matter of the three exemplary lineages.
The envoy admitted that the selection of the exemplary lineage must have unparalleled talent, unique and unmatched, who can contend with god worshippers of the sa level on their own...."
"In the past, I thought it was just an exaggeration, but now.... with just External dicine, being able to fight the Internal thod Spiritual Veins to this extent...." Zhang Yunqi’s eyes showed admiration.
"But unfortunately.... the young master must be on the brink of exhaustion now." Zhang Zhenhai said in a deep voice.
"Yes, I will be ready to assist at any ti." Zhang Yunqi nodded. "Stay alert and disperse in ti to avoid a spiritual explosion."
"Understood!"
"By the way, Zhenhai, if I were to ask you to serve the young master, would you be willing?" Zhang Yunqi suddenly spoke.
Zhang Zhenhai was taken aback.
She had never had such thoughts, but.... suddenly, she recalled what her godfather had ntioned before about the true aning of exemplary lineage.
"It seems you rember." Zhang Yunqi sighed, "The true aning of exemplary lineage is not for the present or current generation, but to leave behind the most outstanding lineage for the future resurgence.
As for how to leave a lineage...."
He looked at his adopted daughter.
Zhang Zhenhai originally had no such thoughts, but being reminded by her godfather, her breath trembled.
Originally, she viewed Zhang Rongfang as a person on the sa level as her godfather.
But after this was brought up, her attitude and perspective imdiately changed.
"Zhenhai, with the young master’s talent, if you had his bloodline, future descendants would certainly surpass ordinary people. Whether in martial arts or the Cultivation of Literature, they would be extraordinary.
Of course, if you’re not willing, I will look for soone else." Zhang Yunqi gently patted his adopted daughter’s arm.
"Think about it carefully."
"..." Zhang Zhenhai blushed from this suggestion, and now when she looked at Zhang Rongfang again, she no longer felt the previous calm admiration and shock. Instead, there was an involuntary shyness and embarrassnt.
She didn’t know why she felt embarrassed, but this feeling just kept flooding her heart for no reason.
"However, unfortunately, the young master is very self-disciplined with regard to won, and even seems uninterested.... Zhenhai, if you are interested, you can try to get closer and observe more. Normally, groom and dress yourself more...."
Zhang Yunqi didn’t finish his sentence before seeing his adopted daughter take a step forward and turn to run away.
In a blink, she used her Body Technique to disappear into the depths of the forest.
He shook his head with a smile and focused his attention back on the scene.
Exemplary lineage.... Why is it called exemplary lineage?
The greatest significance of the three exemplary lineages is to leave behind a sufficient number of descendants to flourish and prosper?
Puff!
The ninety-eighth ti!
Zhang Rongfang was drenched in sweat, his muscles, bones, and tendons all pushed to the limit.
This was his first ti truly experiencing the feeling of being besieged by the Rebel Sect while extinguishing the Spiritual Veins.
Ninety-nine kills, relying on just one person, how difficult it really was.
At this mont, he truly understood....
As he looked at the fallen lissa, he gasped urgently, his sweat-soaked clothes clinging to his body, and sweat trickled down his face.
"The last ti! Everyone, be careful!!" he shouted loudly, raising his voice.
The people around quickly dispersed, with Zhang Yunqi being the only one advancing instead of retreating.
A few minutes later.
Hiss....
The smashed throat and neck quickly healed.
lissa, who had just been pronounced dead, opened her eyes again and slowly rose from the ground.
Her ruined neck seed to rewind in ti, the injury healing, and the bones realigning.
Just as she fully recovered.
Zhang Rongfang’s muscles tensed all over, and he launched forward with a punch.
The Limit-Breaking Skill, Heavy Mountains, triggered three tis in succession.
This was the minimum effort he had calculated to dispatch lissa.
Layer upon layer of power transmitted from his legs, through his waist, to his right arm, then shot forward like lightning, a punch.
Boom!!!
This punch landed squarely on lissa’s chest.
She didn’t even resist at all, just stood there in a daze, staring at the sky after recovering.
The trendous force caved in her chest, causing her back to protrude.
"Is it aningful for you to fight so hard...?" she suddenly asked.
"I don’t know about others," Zhang Rongfang panted heavily, "but I just don’t want to admit defeat."
A flash of understanding passed through lissa’s eyes. Finally, she closed her eyes.
BOOM!!!
In an instant, her whole body exploded like a bomb, flesh and blood bursting forth, countless silver threads shooting out in all directions.
Swish swish swish swish!!
The dense silver threads pierced through everything they touched like bullets.
Zhang Rongfang swiftly retreated even before the explosion occurred.
After withdrawing more than thirty ters away, he hastily threw the knife, Tian Xia Dao, fiercely towards the center of the explosion.
With a whistling sound,
the blade accurately struck lissa’s remains.
After countless silver threads burst out, they retracted swiftly a few monts later.
But as they approached the remains, they couldn’t return to it no matter what.
The silver threads started behaving erratically, slicing and sweeping everything around.
Rocks, soil, trees, vegetation.
Everything, under the threads, seed as if made of paper, easily cut open and pierced through.
A few monts later.
All the silver threads seed like a huge ball of wool, more than twenty ters in diater, instantaneously shifting from extre motion to extre stillness.
Then they quickly turned black, shattered, and transford into black ash, dispersing with the wind.
Seeing lissa thoroughly killed, several Rebel Sect experts who had been watching the battle cheered together.
"Congratulations, Young Master!!"
"Single-handedly killing a Spiritual Vein! Young Master indeed lives up to his na!! Hahaha!"
Zhang Rongfang tiredly cupped his fists towards the surroundings, finally letting his heart relax.
Given his endurance, he was worn out to this extent, and this was just by single-handedly taking down a single inner Spiritual Vein.
All in all, it took seventeen hours. He, a Cultivation of Literature expert whose actual strength had reached the pinnacle of inner thods, was exhausted to such a degree.
This ans that other non-God Worshiper Super Grades would almost have no chance of independently killing an inner Spiritual Vein.
Let alone, they must know that using a fragnt of a god’s statue for the final blow is necessary to prevent the Spiritual Vein from reviving and restoring.
"Using Extre State dozens of tis and Limit-Breaking Skill more than two hundred tis...." Zhang Yunqi admired as he looked at Zhang Rongfang.
"If I hadn’t seen you bleed with my own eyes, I might have thought you were a Spiritual Vein."
"My talent is nothing much. But this ti, I finally killed a Spiritual Vein single-handedly in the truest sense," Zhang Rongfang smiled wryly.
"It’s too tiring.... really too tiring...."
"It is very tiring...." Zhang Yunqi nodded. "Even for soone like , taking action alone wouldn’t have the endurance to wear down a Spiritual Vein. It requires teamwork."
"Therefore, we need to find a faster way to kill Spiritualized people..." Zhang Rongfang said seriously.
Receiving the water bag handed over by a Rebel Sect expert nearby.
He habitually took a small sip first, then gulped it down in large mouthfuls.
"Everyone is looking for such a thod. But...." Zhang Yunqi shook his head, "unless we find the core idol, but the core idol is definitely protected in the most central place."
"This matter.... should be researched and considered gradually. No rush...." Zhang Rongfang nodded.
The Eastern Sect, after so many years of testing, had only found two ways to kill Spiritualized people.
They couldn’t possibly find a new thod so quickly.
This matter requires careful, long-term planning.
After discussing new feasible situations and plans with the Rebel Sect and others.
He agreed to a couple of requests and tasks for his younger relatives.
After all, as a sect guardian, he was now one of the top officials in Citong. Many things, with just a word, would still earn so respect from various parts.
Zhang Rongfang rested for a while before returning to the Agarwood Temple.
This single-handed kill changed his attitude towards thoroughly annihilating Spiritualized people from one of indifference to one of genuine seriousness.
Without personally killing once, he had no idea it would be so exhausting.
Returning to the temple, he collapsed into sleep, sleeping continuously for a full two days.
Only then did he slightly recover.

Morning of April 7th.
Inside the Agarwood Temple.
Zhang Rongfang slowly practiced the moves of the Fla Emperor Talisman under the sunlight.
In the morning light, his movents were sotis fast, sotis slow, with a rhythm that subtly possessed a hint of Daoist yin-yang harmony.
"Daoist, soone outside brought a salutation card, claiming to be an old acquaintance of yours."
A white-haired old Taoist hastily entered the courtyard, cupping his fists in a ritual salute as he reported.
Zhang Rongfang did not respond, but instead finished an entire set of routines before holding his final stance.
Inhale and exhale.
This ti, the single-handed kill of the Spiritual Vein also validated the role of the hard skill he was currently cultivating.
If it had been before, with so many Extre State and Limit-Breaking Skill outbursts, his main attacking hands would have definitely suffered torn muscles and bones, seriously injured.
But now, having trained his hands with Hard Skill, enhanced by the Eagle Claw Skill, the strength had increased substantially.
To the extent that he only felt a slight swelling in his palms now, with no other major issues.
