Martial Master

However, no matter how hard they tried to learn, they could not step onto the Rainbow Bridge like Qin Chen did; instead, they all fell down.

Could it be that I am even inferior to a commoner from the Four-Domains?

These guys had ashen faces and were extremely unwilling to accept it. They were all proud talents from the Martial Domain; how could they be worse than a commoner from the lower Four-Domains?

It must be that the kid cheated.

Yes!

Everyone nodded in agreement; there was no other explanation for what they were witnessing.

After stabilizing himself on the bridge, Qin Chen did not move forward immediately but instead focused on comprehending the laws of power on the Rainbow Bridge.

In his previous life, Qin Chen's cultivation level had reached the peak of the late eighth stage, infinitely close to half-step Martial God. However, due to his innate waste bloodline, he could never comprehend the laws of power to step into the realm of the Ninth Heaven Martial God.

Why would a waste bloodline prevent one from comprehending the laws of power?

Because every martial artist's bloodline has certain attributes. For instance, You Qianxue’s ice bloodline, Ouyang Nana’s ancient phoenix bloodline, and Qin Chen’s thunder bloodline all carry elements of the laws of heaven and earth.

Therefore, the power of the bloodline can enhance a martial artist's combat strength in the early stages and increase the probability of achieving Martial God in later stages.

This also explains why throughout history, some powerful individuals with extraordinary bloodlines could more easily break through to Martial God, not just because of their exceptional talent, but also due to their strong bloodlines that allowed them to sense the laws of power more easily.

Standing on the Rainbow Bridge, Qin Chen sensed the laws of power and gradually discovered that they were not static but continuously changing.

"I'll try my thunder bloodline."

With a thought, Qin Chen unleashed his thunder bloodline. Instantly, he felt a significant reduction in the pressure from the Rainbow Bridge. What was once difficult to stabilize now became much easier.

"The thunder bloodline is indeed formidable."

Qin Chen rejoiced; this indicated that one of the laws of power on the Rainbow Bridge was related to thunder, and his thunder bloodline was extremely powerful, capable of reducing over ninety percent of the resistance.

The more resistance reduced by the bloodline, the more terrifying the bloodline was.

If Qin Chen were to bolt forward now, he could likely surpass everyone on the bridge in an instant, even catch up to those high-level Martial Emperors who had left earlier.

No wonder Murong Bingyun and the others could stabilize themselves so effortlessly on the Rainbow Bridge; it was not only due to their resolute will and outstanding strength but also because their bloodlines were exceptionally powerful, surpassing those mid to late-stage Martial Emperors who had previously stepped onto the Rainbow Bridge.

Understanding this, Qin Chen did not rush forward; instead, he retracted his thunder bloodline and cast aside the laws he had just comprehended to sense other rules.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a terrifying force struck him, sending Qin Chen flying and landing in a disheveled heap.

This drew laughter from many onlookers. Those who had been astonished that Qin Chen could easily stand on the Rainbow Bridge began to mock him.

"Haha, I thought this kid had some incredible ability, but it turns out he still fell down after holding on for so long."

"I was scared; I thought he was some kind of extraordinary genius. Now it seems that a commoner from the lower Four-Domains is just that—nothing worth mentioning."

"Hehe, standing on the Rainbow Bridge for so long but still getting knocked off, he really has no ability at all."

"Haha, hahaha!"

The crowd burst into laughter.

These people were shallow-minded, taking pleasure in others' misfortunes while feeling proud of themselves.

Ling Yi also sighed in relief; he had been scared earlier, thinking that Qin Chen was immensely gifted and comparable to figures like the Thunder Emperor. Now it seemed he had overthought it.
