Martial Master

**Chapter Seven: What Does This Concept Mean? No One Present Knew!**

They only knew that since the emergence of the Martial Dao True Meaning assessment on the continent, whether it was the Great Wei Dynasty or the higher-tier forces that could reach the Great Wei Dynasty, there had never been a martial artist at the Heaven Level who could break into the seventh level of the Martial Dao True Meaning.

Let alone Heaven Level martial artists; even Mystic Level martial artists had never been heard of breaking into the seventh level.

This was the seventh level, representing the control of true essence at the Seventh Stage Martial King Realm.

Martial artists cultivate from the first to the third stage, which involves true qi; from the fourth to the sixth stage, it involves true power; and upon breaking through to the seventh stage, true power transforms into true essence. This is a completely different realm and concept, crossing an enormous tier.

Once true power turns into true essence, everything within the martial artist's body undergoes metamorphosis, and the true essence within is almost inexhaustible. Thus, the seventh stage signifies the king among martial artists.

That is why it is called the Martial King.

It can be said without hesitation that before touching this realm, let alone Qin Chen, a third-stage Heaven Level martial artist, even a sixth-stage Martial Venerable, and even a pinnacle sixth-stage Martial Venerable, would find it impossible to easily break into the seventh level and attempt to control true essence.

This is a forbidden domain.

But now, that Qin Chen from the Five Nations not only broke into the seventh level but also maintained a perfect state upon entry, showing no signs of error whatsoever.

This was simply impossible.

“It must be a malfunction; there’s no other possibility.”

“Indeed, since the Martial Dao True Meaning assessment appeared, there has never been a genius at the Heaven Level who could break into the seventh level Martial King level.”

“However, why does the residual will of the Ancient Southern Capital not directly declare Qin Chen to be defeated?”

“Perhaps that black shadow is just a residual will, monitoring the assessment without autonomous consciousness, thus not noticing this point. By the time Qin Chen finishes the assessment, it might sense it.”

“Hehe, if the will of the Ancient Southern Capital directly judges that Qin Chen’s assessment result is invalid, I wonder what expression the Five Nations will have.”

At this moment, all the powerful figures of the Great Wei Dynasty completely relaxed, no longer harboring any worries.

Earlier, when entering the sixth level, although they thought it was a malfunction of the black stone chamber, deep down, there was still a hint of concern.

What if Qin Chen had genuinely relied on strength to reach the sixth level?

But now, that worry had completely vanished.

Why?

Does this even need to be asked? There was simply no one in the world who could break into the seventh level Martial King level at third stage Heaven Level without making a mistake.

The Great Wei Dynasty didn’t have it, and the higher forces on the continent didn’t have it either, let alone in the Five Nations, a place in the backwaters and rugged terrain.

“Hehe, so it was a malfunction; you scared me.”

“I thought Qin Chen really reached the sixth level; I was truly confused; it seemed impossible.”

Di Tianyi and the others also completely let go of their concerns.

Upon learning that the black stone chamber where Qin Chen was located had malfunctioned, Di Tianyi's proud expression resurfaced, looking arrogantly at Hua Tiandu and Leng Wushuang, his eyes filled with smugness.

“It was just a matter of holding out for a moment longer; there was no need to be so excited.”

“Those who don’t know would think you’ve broken into the seventh level.”

“The outcome of the next assessment, who wins and who loses, is still uncertain.”

Leng Wushuang and Hua Tiandu snorted coldly.

However, Di Tianyi's smugness did not diminish in the slightest, chuckling, “No matter what, I am the one who persisted until the end, right? Hahaha!”
