But now... in this world, there has actually emerged a terrifying power capable of leveling a thousand meters off Mount Everest with individual strength alone. This is more than enough to prove that, after 422 years of development, the ancient martial arts of this world have been completely revived and have flourished greatly!

No wonder there was a book titled "Combat Techniques and Moral Cultivation of Intermediate Warriors" beside him. If his guess was correct, the practice of ancient martial arts in this world must have become thoroughly widespread, to the point where everyone could cultivate true qi!

Universal martial arts training!

For a martial artist, this is simply a dream world, a paradise!

As his emotions surged, the nurse had already finished her work, clapped her hands, and said, "Alright, the medicine has been changed. Handsome, get some good rest. I have to hurry to the Moon God Realm—several friends are still waiting for me!"

"Thank you!"

The young nurse waved and quickly left, leaving only Evan Grant alone in the ward.

Evan Grant lay quietly, but the true qi within his body continued to grow under his control!

422 years ago, he had spent almost all his time cultivating with his master deep in the mountains, following his master's earnest teachings. Before he descended the mountain, he didn't even know there were more forests, cities, or people beyond that mountain. It wasn't until later, when his master grew old and his aura weakened, that he began to teach him some basic things and let him descend the mountain alone to attempt breaking through to the Innate Secret Realm!

At that time, his cultivation had already reached the peak of the Acquired stage. True qi filled every corner of his body, spirit and qi were united, and he only needed the final trace of innate spiritual energy to break through the barrier between man and heaven, open all his meridians, draw in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and, with its help, be reborn, temper his body, and become a powerhouse of the Innate Secret Realm!

But when he truly descended the mountain, he realized that this world had long since lost the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Even those rare treasures containing spiritual energy were extremely scarce, and the Innate Secret Realm, the martial realm everyone yearned for, had become nothing but legend.

Without the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, no matter how gifted he was, no matter how unrivaled his sword qi, he could never break through to the Innate stage and fulfill his master's dying wish!

But now...

The existence of the Innate Secret Realm has been confirmed, and there are even peerless experts who can destroy a mountain with a wave of their hand, and supreme beings who can battle those mythical beasts—the Dragon Clan. What kind of realm is this!?

A realm to yearn for!

That is the realm a true martial artist, a true swordsman, should pursue!

Evan Grant clenched his fist, and an incredibly solid sense of power instantly spread from his hand to every corner of his body!

What he needed most now was to cultivate, to nurse his body, and to increase the harmony between his soul and his flesh!

Only with a body in complete harmony with the soul, where the soul can control every muscle, every bone, every meridian, could he hope to recover to his peak as soon as possible and truly see this world where martial arts have been revived!

Chapter Three: Moon God Realm

The entire afternoon, Evan Grant spent in this process of healing!

His perspective was far above that of the body's original owner—Derek!

With his powerful perception, he knew exactly what flaws the body had, how to maximize the effects of treatment, how to use the advantages of true qi to ease his pain, how to stimulate the vitality of his cells and speed up recovery—he was clear about all of it!

These were all experiences he had accumulated over countless years!

With efforts on multiple fronts, in just one afternoon, his injuries had already improved somewhat. His recovery rate was equivalent to two or three days of normal rest. At this rate, in at most three more days, he would be able to get out of bed and walk, and within a week, all his pain would be gone and he would be fully recovered!

As the sun gradually set, the light around him dimmed.

Judging by the time, it should be close to 7 p.m.

At that moment, a crisp conversation could be heard at the door. Listening closely, he could make out words like "Moon God Realm," "Slaughter Guild!" "Jason Clark!" and so on. The voices were drawing nearer to this ward, and one of them sounded familiar—it was the young woman from this morning!

The conversation stopped at the door, and then the door was pushed open. The spirited young woman walked in!

This time, besides her, there was another girl in a white academy uniform, looking youthful and beautiful!

Seeing Evan Grant looking in their direction, the young woman was slightly taken aback, then nodded, "Judging by your complexion, you seem to be recovering well! But I suppose that's to be expected. As the saying goes: 'Only the good die young, troublemakers live a thousand years!' You're not that easy to kill!"

"Pfft!"

The young woman's words immediately made the other girl in white who came in with her burst out laughing.

"Xiaoxue, how can you talk about your brother like that?"

"I'm just telling the truth!"

The young woman, Rachel Derek, said as she laid out the food she had brought. Instantly, the aroma of the dishes spread throughout the small room!
