Six months had passed in what seemed like the blink of an eye. Lin Haoran had grown accustomed to the solitude of mountain life. Every dawn, as the first light touched the craggy peaks, he would climb to the summit and practice the "Mountain Tiger Fist".
At the peak of the mountain, amidst howling winds and whispering pines, Lin Haoran assumed his stance. His body moved with deliberate grace as he executed the fluid, powerful motions of the Mountain Tiger Fist.The pounding of his fists against the wind resonated like a heartbeat—a steady rhythm of perseverance and passion
However as he executed each technique with increasing precision, a familiar frustration crept in.
"I have reach a bottleneck" he sighed.
fortunately Lin Haoran wasn't too surprise about this bottleneck.
the transformation from martial master to Grand master was a qualitative change that had stomp millions who had come before him including his master, and unfortunately for Chun yijun who had started martial art late in life there was no hope in breaking this bottleneck. In contrast, Lin Haoran was still in his pre-prime; his body mind were supple and his potential far from exhausted.
Lin haoran sat in contemplation and review his previous martial path in order to get some insight to breakthrough.
The grand master realm, according to the book left to him by his master was also called the innate realm, individuals at this levels could be called expert in any part of the Yan county state.
Before moving to Grandmaster it was good to trace his path back to very past realm.
The martial apprentice was the first step in the martial path however, it could not be exactly be called a realm as there was no change physically or even spiritually.
In this stage Martial arts hone their body by practicing their own technique and when they could move freely and had learn their respective exercise they could be said to be done with this step, they have grasp the very basic of martial arts however they are not in any way stronger than the average person.
The next is the Martial official or the official martial artist realm, individuals at this stage have completely incorporated their exercise to their fighting and killing techinque, and although they also are also only above average in strength in compare to an average person, they could easily take on 3-5 man in a fight due to their proficiency in fighting.
The next and the current stage Lin haoran is in is the Martial master realm and the beginning of the supernatural, this stage occurs when the individual has high attainment and understanding in their respective exercise. The entire body resonate with the exercise and give birth to wisp of inner strength!!! and by mobilizing this inner strength they could use strength that could in otherwise not be attained by the ordinary person such as splitting rock and cutting trees with a single cut, individual at this stage could fight bears and tiger as if they were playing with cat and dogs.
The next is the Grandmaster realm!! . This is a realm not reachable by many people in their entire life as this realm needs a combination of luck, time, talent and resources.
This is the realm that truly differentiate the ordinary and the true martial master!! and unfortunately for Chun yijun he was an orphan and had started off the martial path only when he was well above 30 years, and although he had prove to have a some talent in practicing martial arts he had none of the luck, time nor resource to reach the grand master realm.
And truth be told, the same goes for Lin Hoaran, Who was dead broke, had only practice for a short duration of time and had so far ,next to no luck.
But Lin haoran had one thing, and that was TALENT!! Pure raw talent!!
Thanks to The agitation by the 'primordial eyes' Lin haoran's mental strenght had grown considerably and had reach an astonishing 30 units, and in the martial world this mental strength directly translate to comprehension ability which directly translate to Talent!!
Too poor to practice martial arts? Well I have talent!
Too Unlucky to practice martial arts? Well my talent is really good!!
Have only practice for a short duration of time? Hello?? have you seen my talent???
All in all Lin hoaran was going to brute force his way to the Grandmaster realm using only talent!!
...
During the long, crisp afternoons, when the mountain air cooled and the forest whispered secrets, Lin Haoran diversified his training.
Aside from the Mountain Tiger Fist, he honed his other skills.
And during these 6 months- Invisible Hand of God had increase by atleast 1 level each month and had reached level 78!!—At this point he could lift 1,692 kg of weight almost double the weight 6 months ago!!!.
This was still within Lin haoran's expectation as the ability grows by 10% each level, the invincible hand of god was slowly on its path to deserving its title of cosmic mystery!!
Meanwhile, his Primordial Eye of Chaos—manifested through his natural pair of eyes—had also advanced to 78% of level 1, and although nothing change much Lin haoran was really looking forward to when it reaches level 2 as this was also a bonafide Heaven overturning grade!!
...
The day quickly passes, as he practiced, with each gain in experience point for both abilities Lin Haoran felt his spirit stir with renewed vigor.
After all daily activities were done he then planned his future carefully—first to break into the Grandmaster Realm, and then to resume his lifelong quest of collecting destiny points!!
And this time instead of collecting destiny point the usual labor inducing way of killing dangerous animals and saving people out of desperate measures he hope the [Basic regeneration] would give some breakthrough in this matter.
...
Time slowly goes on and soon, Two months later, as the mountain air grew thinner and his senses sharper, the breakthrough finally arrived.
it began on a wind-swept morning, when the sky was a patchwork of pale blue and white, and a quiet energy hummed through the peaks of the mountain crater. Every muscle fibre of his body as if being agitated seem to came alive, the Grandmaster was a qualitative leap where the inner strength reach a point of saturation and got integrated through out the body!!!
Individuals at this level could run as fast a car and and when punching a solid rock could leave a crater 2-3 meters wide!!
They were a whole different species!!
As he concentrated, a searing heat spread through his limbs. It was as if his muscles, honed by the Mountain Tiger Fist, were imbued with an entirely new quality. His body began to feel as tough as rock and with each exhalation, he could feel his inner strength—the quiet, unstoppable power that he had nurtured over endless hours of practice—flowing outward, integrating into his very flesh.
Time seemed to slow. His heart pounded with a rhythm that echoed the ancient drums of battle. He stood and moved a single, deliberate fist through the air, and in that moment, he understood: he had transcended his previous limitations.
His speed, now honed and refined, was like a well-tuned engine.
His body responded with the swift, powerful grace of an innate being.
It was a sensation that was neither mystical nor fantastical, but raw and real.
When he finally opened his eyes, Lin Haoran felt reborn. His body was as hard as the ancient mountain stone, and his movements carried the brisk, unwavering pace of an car—a force capable of felling trees and shattering boulders. A single, forceful punch now left a crater in solid rock, evidence of the immense power that surged within him.
"Finally, the Grand master realm!!!" Lin Haoran roared.
