Wang Ke at this moment had entered a mystic state. Some people practicing cultivation might never encounter such a state in their entire life. It was extremely lucky for him to enter a state like this, and it would bring unimaginably huge gains to himself.
Li Ruoxi, standing in front of Wang Ke, slowly turned her enchanting back around. She was confused as he suddenly went silent.
Yet!
The moment she turned and her eyes fell on Wang Ke, Li Ruoxi held her breath instantly. Her beautiful eyes shone with disbelief as flashes of otherworldly lights even flickered in her eyes. She was amazed by what she saw.
As Wang Ke stood under the moonlight, his not-so-handsome face shone with holy light, making him sacred and inviolable. A ghost of spirit energy flew from his body like ripples on the water, spreading around in waves. Even she could acutely sense the chilly spirit energy surging toward Wang Ke's body in a peculiar way.
The sight in front of her that made her stare with wide eyes suddenly went through a peculiar change. Like a hallucination, Wang Ke's face showed a trace of change in her eyes. His not-so-handsome face suddenly became a bit more angular, as if someone had used a knife and an axe to carve out a sense of determination.
His slender body standing straight seemed to gain a lot of height all of a sudden. Li Ruoxi, who was one point seven two meters tall, felt the need to look up to Wang Ke even though she was wearing high-heels.
A fresh wind blew his clothes, and the fluttering corners of his clothing gave him a touch of uniqueness. It was elegant, spontaneous, and even mystic and ethereal.
Li Ruoxi's loving heart had been resting for twenty years, but she suddenly felt a trace of shudder and panic as she dazedly stared at Wang Ke. It was as if a deer was crashing around in her heart. She was a little scared and a little shy more than that.
She did not know why this would happen. She didn't understand how one could change so drastically.
Time went still.
Time left no trace and moved swiftly away minute by minute, second by second.
Wang Ke, standing by the lake, came to his sense after five minutes. The first thing he did was to say hastily to Li Ruoxi who was still staring at him, "We need to go back immediately. I have an urgent business."
Yes, urgent business. Very urgent business.
Li Ruoxi also snapped out of her daze. She was slightly blushing, but Wang Ke, in a hurry, did not observe closely and therefore did not notice.
"What's the business? So urgent?" Li Ruoxi pushed down the strange feeling on her heart and asked with a hint of curiosity in her beautiful eyes.
A bitter smile appeared on Wang Ke's face. He said hurriedly, "Yes, very urgent. I feel like I am about to break through my cultivation state, so I have to get back as fast as possible. I need a quiet place to practice cultivation without any interruption."
About to break through the cultivation state?
Wang Ke had given Li Ruoxi too much shock today. She had only wanted to let him relax here for a bit and then go back to their home, but he felt he was about to make a breakthrough in such a short period of time?
What kind of monster was that?
If he made the breakthrough, what kind of cultivation state would he be able to reach then?
Li Ruoxi quickly nodded and said loudly, "Okay, we will go back now. Let's call a taxi by the road."
The police station was not so far away from the villa area. Wang Ke and Li Ruoxi were very fortunate to be sent back to the gates of the villa area soon after they called a taxi.
Because of what had happened before, the security guards on duty respected Li Ruoxi and Wang Ke very much. Watching them nearly running deep into the villa area, the security guards on duty whispered among themselves. What they were talking about was no doubt about Li Ruoxi's beauty and Wang Ke's scary fighting skills.
Back in the villa, Li Ruoxi did not disturb Wang Ke anymore. She even instructed Mrs. Song who had been waiting in the hall of the villa to not disturb him either.
In the pitch-black room, the door and windows were wide open. Spirit energy from heaven and earth caught in the chilly wind came surging into the room like waves of water as if summoned.
Wang Ke was shirtless and wearing loose black pants. Like an old monk entering samadhi, he absorbed the spirit energy from heaven and earth as he wished. Waves of spirit energy circulated to the maximum in the meridians in his body following the routes in Dragon's Momentum.
Time went by. As time passed, the amount of spirit energy in Wang Ke's thin meridians increased. In his empty pubic region, there was no spirit energy left. A vast amount of spirit energy all crowded in his meridians as if about to break the meridians any minute. Yet the surging of spirit energy from heaven and earth did not stop. It was refined into a part of the spirit energy in the now-slowing circulation.
"It is the time!"
Wang Ke closed his eyes, roaring excitedly in his heart.
Under his control, the vast amount of spirit energy quickly surged into another meridian that had never been exposed to spirit energy before like a sharp awl with an air of ferocity. This meridian was very thin, with a width almost a quarter or one third of the meridians in which the spirit energy had been circulating. In this meridian, grey matter clogged the acupoints necessary for meridian penetration. If he wanted to let spirit energy smoothly pass by this meridian, he had to get rid of all grey matter and open up the entire meridian.
Only by opening up this meridian and widening it to the level of other meridians in which spirit energy had been circulating, could Wang Ke make the breakthrough. This meridian was the route that the third stage of Dragon's Momentum operated. By connecting it with other previously operating routes, a huge operating circle was created.
Vast amounts of spirit energy came with an irresistible force, forcing the meridian open with a strong stabbing pain. Wang Ke's whole body was shaking slightly, and he tried his best to control it and work on it, gritting his teeth.
Opening up this meridian in one go meant that he could suffer less of such extreme pain, so he must hold on. Plus, if he did not make the breakthrough this time, all of his previous efforts would be wasted. He would have to wait for another time for the spirit energy to accumulate to this degree. If it came to that point, he would have to put in a lot more efforts, perhaps three or four times this time.
After two hours, a stinking smell emanated from the surface of Wang Ke's skin. His n***d upper half was covered by a layer of dark grey matter, which was where the smell came from. As time went by, the amount of dark grey matter on his body increased, and the smell became stronger.
The red sun rose from the horizon and slowly hung in the eastern sky.
At seven in the morning, Wang Ke, after practicing cultivation for nearly six or seven hours, came awake with a sudden shaking of his body. His eyes burst open in an instant and two shimmering bright lights flashed in his eyes.
"Phew..."
Breathing out a mouthful of foul breath, Wang Ke smiled brightly.
He had broken through and finally reached the third stage of Dragon's Momentum. He could feel the spirit energy surging in the meridians in his body, almost four times as much as before. The newly opened meridian was as wide as the previously opened ones.
Yet the smile only stayed on his face for a few seconds before it froze. A disgusting smell surged straight toward his head, almost making him suffocate at the moment. He quickly lowered his head to look at his own body and saw that even his hands and arms were covered by the dark grey matter. The sticky matter made his stomach uproar in discomfort.
Whoosh!
His figure immediately disappeared from the room. As he forcefully pushed open the bathroom door, he rushed inside in a second.
In the sound of water splashing, Wang Ke took a great and comfortable shower, washing his entire body multiple times. He used soap multiple times and even used body wash multiple times to completely eliminate the smell.
Looking at his white and creamy skin, Wang Ke was dumbfounded before a bitter smile appeared on his face. He had made the breakthrough, and his skin looked much better than before! Did Dragon's Momentum also have beauty benefits?
"Now that I've broken through the Baihui point, my cultivation has reached the third stage of Dragon's Momentum. I should be stronger three or four times than before, right? And my speed should be much faster than before. Now I can beat ten or twenty men, not to mention five or six." Wang Ke clenched his fists and felt the strong sense of power surging in his body. He was obsessed with this feeling, which almost caused him to roar.
Twenty minutes later, Wang Ke dressed up and left his room.
Mrs. Song was busy in the kitchen. In the dining room next to the kitchen, Li Ruoxi was dressed in a white sports suit, reading documents as she ate the breakfast on the table.
"Wang Ke, you're up? Breakfast is almost ready. Come eat!" Mrs. Song, holding two plates, was walking out from the kitchen. She saw Wang Ke's spirited look and smiled.
She knew about what had happened last night even though she was not there to witness how Wang Ke beat up five criminals. With this guardian here, she felt very safe, so her attitude toward Wang Ke was warmer than before.
Wang Ke helped Mrs. Song put breakfast on the table. As he sat down, Li Ruoxi's eyes flickered with bright light. She asked in surprise, "Wang Ke, how come that I feel like you're a bit different than before? Huh? You're really different. Is your skin better than before? What skin care product do you use?"
Wang Ke smiled bitterly in his heart. He did not use any skin care product at all! All of this was caused by breaking through the cultivation stage.
"There's no skin care product. I'm the same as usual! When did you start to care about my skin? Let's eat first. You have given me two days off as my boss, and I have to memorize those nonsensical words after I finish eating." Wang Ke hurriedly said.
A thoughtful looked flashed in Li Ruoxi's eyes. She hesitated before tentatively asking, "Is this related to making a breakthrough of cultivation?"
Wang Ke looked at Li Ruoxi and saw her determined expression to get an answer before he nodded and hummed in agreement. He did not say a word and ate his breakfast in silence.
"Gosh! Is this really the result of a breakthrough? Does cultivation have beauty benefits? Can you teach me your cultivation methods? I also want to..."
