Urban Immortal Cultivation Supreme

Zhu Bufan's monstrous talent was fully displayed at this moment. His calm and decisive temperament and his gift for summarization reached their fullest potential during this period, especially the bloodthirsty nature inherent in his lineage, which was intensely displayed; each battle fierce and exceedingly bloody.

In this situation, Zhu Bufan's cultivation technique, martial arts, and combat consciousness were all improving at an insanely fast rate.

If the lady mentioned by the bald man knew that her orders, instead of truly killing Zhu Bufan, had pressured this madman to grow wildly, one wonders what expression she would have upon finding out!

...

In the blink of an eye, half a month stealthily passed by...

Deep within the Ice Forest, inside a natural ice cave, a blue glow circulated, emitting a frigid breath while wisps of white ice crystals emerged from the air and then fell.

Suddenly, those icy cold airs were stirred mightily, fluctuating crazily. Soon after, a vortex-like powerful force frenziedly began to pull. At the very center of this vortex-like force, a blue figure was sitting cross-legged. The frigid air was crazily rushing into his nostrils and mouth.

The blue hue circulating around the figure became brighter and brighter as the cold air entered his body until it reached a blinding intensity!

And this person was Zhu Bufan!

Streams of extremely pure Cold Ice Internal Energy revolved around Zhu Bufan, merging into his body. The Qi within his Dantian became increasingly pure and robust over time!

It's unknown how much time had passed when suddenly, Zhu Bufan's body shuddered, and immediately, a burst of icy cold air crazily spread out from his body! The air around him was filled with ice crystals making snapping sounds as they fell to the ground!

Immediately following, Zhu Bufan's eyes snapped open!

A trace of pure blue hue swept through the depths of Zhu Bufan's eyes, flashing intimidating brilliance!

Then, a trace of joy burst forth from his eyes!

"Cold Ice Technique, Ninth Layer, Middle Stage, finally achieved!"

Eighth Rank, Middle Stage!

Thirteen years-old, Eighth Rank Middle Stage!

Zhu Bufan's smile at the corners of his mouth widened, eventually bursting into a delighted laugh.

When Zhu Bufan entered the Endless Ice Field, he was at the Seventh Rank, Late Stage, and now in just over a month, he had broken through the Seventh Rank to reach the Eighth Rank, Middle Stage!

Zhu Bufan, in less than half a year from the start of his cultivation, from the First Layer of the Cold Ice Technique, sang all the way and broke through to the peak of the Seventh Layer. Then, in one more month, he broke through to the Eighth Rank, Middle Stage!

All together, it took just over half a year!

A mere half a year, from nothing to the Eighth Layer, such cultivation speed, if really spoken out loud, could probably make everyone's faces turn pale in shock!

It is known that the cultivation of a Postnatal Martial Artist rests not on sudden enlightenment or understandings, primarily it's the solid accumulation! Only when the accumulation reaches a certain threshold can one break through the existing level and reach the next one, hence, earlier stages are easier to cultivate, but later stages become increasingly difficult!

In the entire Zhou Family, reaching the Seventh Rank before the age of fifteen is considered a sign of genius. Among the myriad descendants of the Zhou Family, at most only a few score have accomplished this. From this fact alone, one can see something special.

Just like Zhou Wu, who broke through to the Ninth Rank within a year, it was a grand celebration for the whole clan, crowned as a supreme genius.

In one year, merely advancing one rank, especially to the Ninth Layer, is considered supreme talent. Then, what should one be called who goes from nothing to the Eighth Rank within a year?

Genius? Eccentric? Or perhaps… a monster?

…

Zhu Bufan took a deep breath, sensing the powerful force within his body…

After the Fifth Layer of the Cold Ice Technique, the gap between each subsequent layer is extremely large, making advancement very difficult.

Zhu Bufan's lips curved into a smile, "Not to mention the growth of my Inner Qi, my physical strength has also greatly enhanced… Although I've only progressed from the early stage to the middle stage of the Eighth Rank, I can now cast Surging Wave Palm three times consecutively at most. But now… I can cast it at least five times in a row, which is a significant improvement!"

Zhu Bufan was well aware that the ability to use Surging Wave Palm two more times meant he had two more chances to save his life, two more opportunities for a fatal strike against enemies!

In a duel between experts, one fatal opportunity must be seized with one's life, accumulated over numerous fights through instinctual calculation…

With the Floating Cloud Step Technique, Zhu Bufan, as long as his opponent's speed couldn't match his, wouldn't need such trouble, possessing two chances to fatally strike his enemies! Even if the fatal strike failed, he could calmly choose to retreat.

He would face many enemies in the future, and having Surging Wave Palm available five times would enable him to handle more dangers.

After taking another deep breath, Zhu Bufan stood up and stretched slightly, then revealed a smile.

Subsequently, Zhu Bufan sat down cross-legged again, cultivating his Inner Qi, stabilizing his realm.

But just as Zhu Bufan was fully immersed in his cultivation, a series of deep, booming sounds mixed with roars of beasts howled through the air, followed by the shaking of the earth.

While cultivating, Zhu Bufan, affected by such intense disturbances, momentarily experienced a chaotic flow of Inner Qi, showing signs of backlash, frightening him into immediately halting his cultivation and leaping up.

"Thankfully I wasn't in deep meditative cultivation, otherwise…" Thinking this, Zhu Bufan broke out in a cold sweat.

"Not good, the Ice Cave is collapsing!" Sensing the increasing disturbances and the continuously falling ice blocks, Zhu Bufan muttered to himself, then suppressed the restless Inner Qi and swiftly fled the Ice Cave.

"What exactly is happening?" After exiting the Ice Cave, looking into the deeps of the Ice Forest, snow and shattered ice soared up, sweeping through the entire Ice Forest like a fog, mixed with large and small wild beasts.

Roar… Roar…

These wildly running wild beasts seemed to be chased by a deadly threat behind them; the normally murderous natural world at this moment saw them running headlong together, seemingly unaware of each other. Those trampled into meat paste from falling behind were countless!

Seeing this scene, Zhu Bufan was extremely curious, not retreating but swiftly moving forward. With his great advancement in cultivation, he felt that even if there were dangers, escaping should pose no problem.

After dodging a small wave of the beast tide, Zhu Bufan no longer concealed himself, charging forward with all his might.
