Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 148

Chapter 148: Chapter 106: Rising Fame! Undercurrents Surging!_3

Gu Sheng was already charging toward the Great Success stage of the Blood Refining Realm.

...

Over the next stretch of time.

Gu Sheng’s routine life gained a new addition—aside from practicing martial arts at home, every once in a while, he would transform into the contract killer "Butcher" to take on missions. On the surface, he claimed he was going hunting. _{frёewebnoѵēl.com}

In just two or three months.

Gu Sheng had already completed three contract killer missions. Other than his first target, Xiong Jianmei, his next two objectives were entry-level martial artists in the Blood Refining Realm who specialized in direct offensive tactics.

With his massive axe in hand, the thing Gu Sheng feared least was facing enemies head-on. The First-level Chopping Wood technique’s ripping special effect displayed unparalleled strength. Facing entry-level Blood Refining martial artists, Gu Sheng could dispatch them as easily as slicing melons and chopping vegetables.

While these two also had trump cards up their sleeves, their cultivation realms aligned with intelligence reports, unlike Xiong Jianmei, who had hidden numerous secrets.

Nonetheless, the results were the same; against Gu Sheng, they stood no chance of retaliating.

Even though the "Butcher" identity allowed Gu Sheng to conceal much of his true strength, the power he displayed was still far above ordinary entry-level Blood Refining martial artists.

Before long.

Gu Sheng began to garner fame among the contract killers, earning himself the nickname "Axe Butcher."

Everyone knew.

A new Blood Refining Realm powerhouse had emerged among the contract killers—a being of immense natural strength, wielding a hundred-pound axe, known for cleaving opponents into two with a single strike, ruthlessly savage.

Some attempted to befriend the Butcher and draw him into the inner circles of the contract killer community, but they were met with cold rejection.

Gu Sheng had created the identity of the Butcher solely for convenience, so others wouldn’t track down his true self. He had no desire to interact with anyone.

Shaping the Butcher as someone brutal and cold-hearted was part of his strategy—to ensure no one would suspect that the Butcher’s true identity was an ordinary young farm boy from Gu’s Manor.

Though some voiced dissent, they dared not challenge the Butcher due to his overwhelming strength, merely labeling him as reclusive and eccentric.

Gu Sheng naturally paid no mind to such opinions.

The only thing that mattered was the thousand silver coins he had earned from the three missions!

With ample silver in hand.

Gu Sheng’s cultivation continued progressing steadily. Using Strengthening Blood Powder to refine his flesh and blood, his progress remained stable.

At this pace, he was certain he’d achieve the Great Success stage in the Blood Refining Realm before the year’s end!

Now, he focused solely on mastering the Flying Thunder Leg and Snake Breath Skill—two martial arts techniques. Even with some time dedicated to contract killer missions, it had no impact on his progress with these skills.

During this period.

The Flying Thunder Leg had already reached another breakthrough; now it had entered the Great Achievement Realm, with progress reaching 40%!
