Chapter 45: Teacher Xia Dong Must Be Very Regretful, Right?

Fifty Martial Merit Points obtained.

A hint of a smile appeared on Chen Yan's face.

Martial Merit Points are very useful.

Gently stroking the Martial Merit Card to the right, the text upon it changed.

【Upper Grade A Basic Horizontal Refinement Breathing Method (Red Gang Body Casting Canon) Origin Crystal Observation and Imagination for one hour: 1 point】

【Upper Grade Yi Rank Basic Qi Blood Cultivation Method (Nine Yang Art) Origin Crystal Observation and Imagination for one hour: 0.7 points】

【Martial Grade Class A Horizontal Refinement Breathing Method (Day-Sun Dragon Controlling Technique) Origin Crystal Observation and Imagination for one hour: 100 points】

…………

This was the commodity list; Chen Yan stroked to the right again, and the commodity list changed once more, all pages of weapons.

After a brief browse, Chen Yan lingered on two items for a long time.

【Martial Grade Class A Qi-Blood Martial Technique (Hundred Spears Dark Thrust) Origin Crystal Observation and Imagination for one hour: 100 points】

This is a Qi-Blood Martial Technique, and Chen Yan wants to learn it.

Moreover, after a glance at the introduction, it is very compatible with his own Min Zhe Qi Xue.

He lacks Qi-Blood Martial Techniques.

Since he cannot afford it now, he will just continue to earn them.

Aside from 【Hundred Spears Dark Thrust】, Chen Yan had his eye on a second item.

【Earth Vein Grade Bing Rank Washing Refinement Body Tempering for one hour: 1,000】

This is the price for Washing Refinement Body Tempering; according to what Luo Puxin said, one session of body tempering is enough to allow Chen Yan to grow two Grain Marks.

This is, after all, a Martial Grade tempering opportunity.

The classification of treasures in this world generally has levels.

Common Grade, Upper Grade, Martial Grade, Earth Vein Grade, Azure Dome Grade, Morning Star Grade.

Each level also has four ranks: Jia, Yi, Bing, and Ding.

The Red-Haired Lingzhi that Chen Yan used before was a Common Grade Yi Rank precious medicine.

Therefore, this Earth Vein Grade Bing Rank body tempering opportunity is very important.

And Chen Yan still has the Holy Tree!

If he could temper his body, the growth would definitely be extremely fast!

After thinking again and again, Chen Yan put the Martial Merit Card into his pocket.

Earn Martial Merit Points!

He wants to become stronger.

Under the Eternal Night.

Chen Yan ran rapidly through the wilderness like a horse that had broken its bridle, stirring up a patch of ground; the moonlight spilled through the leaves, casting mottled silver light, and his body made a rustling sound that echoed in the surroundings.

Constantly activating the 【Red Gang Body Casting Canon】, Chen Yan exhaled and inhaled white mist tinged with light red.

【Po Saint Realm: 3 levels (50/75)】

【Sacred Fruit:

Force: (88/100)

Blood: (26/100)

Technique: (32/100)

Body: (100/100)】

On the Holy Tree, one Body Character Po Sheng Fruit had already ripened; Chen Yan swallowed it in one gulp, and immediately, a series of "Clang" ringing sounds erupted from his body.

His skin became tighter and more resilient.

On his chest, Chen Yan had already condensed one substantial 1.9 Force Pattern, and the remaining Tendon, Bone, and Skin patterns were also forty percent complete.

Breathing Methods refine Tendons, Bones, Skin, and Force; according to Luo Puxin, the order in which each person cultivates and condenses Grain Marks is different.

For example, for Wu Chuhua, the first to condense were the Skin patterns, followed by the Force patterns.

Because of the Holy Tree, Chen Yan condensed the Force patterns first, followed by the simultaneous condensation of the shallow patterns of the Tendons, Bones, and Skin.

This indicates that the strengthening of Chen Yan's physique is not uniform; his body's strength far exceeds his body's durability.

Chen Yan needs to pay more attention to the strength of his Tendons, Bones, and Skin; he must make himself capable of both taking hits and dealing them.

Speaking of Cultivation Realms.

The Horizontal Refinement path is not weak; the first realm of the Horizontal Refinement path is the Seventy-Two Patterns Extreme Forging Realm, the second realm is the Unity Realm, and the third realm is the Origin.

As for Qi-Blood, it is Five Viscera, Hundred Meridians, Golden Body, and Origin.

That's right, the third realm of Horizontal Refinement and the fourth realm of Qi-Blood have the same name.

But their essence is completely different.

One is the physical body reaching the Origin, the other is the Qi-Blood reaching the Origin.

Reaching the Origin means becoming an absolute Strong One capable of suppressing the territory of an entire continent.

The Origin, also known as the Eternal Martial Master, has few in the entire Qinzhou, and none at all in Yunmeng City.

According to Luo Puxin, when Horizontal Refinement reaches thirty-two patterns, it is already comparable to a Qi-Blood Warrior who has just entered the Hundred Meridians Realm.

When a Horizontal Refinement martial artist reaches seventy-two patterns, that is equivalent to the Hundred Meridians Peak of a Qi-Blood Warrior.

One realm of Horizontal Refinement is equal to two realms of Qi-Blood; it is not weak.

Moreover, it seems some people have refined more than seventy-two patterns in the Extreme Forging Realm.

Of course, most people cannot even reach seventy-two patterns before they must enter the Unity Realm.

There is no right or wrong; everything depends on one's own physical condition.

Chen Yan thought as much, moving swiftly in the shadows, and had already returned to First High School by the time the sun rose in the East.

When the cafeteria staff arrived in front of Chen Yan's Xiao Yuan pushing the food, the shirtless, handsome Youth was punching away vigorously in the campus under the morning sun.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Chen Yan's fist wind whistled; his form was like a coiled dragon, combining hardness with softness, vigorous and powerful.

"So diligent."

The young girl from the cafeteria whispered with a blushing face, delivering the meal made with exquisite Beast Meat into the living room.

Chen Yan splashed his face at the faucet and, after expressing his thanks, began to eat.

Within the Po Sheng Realm, after consuming one Strength Character Po Sheng Fruit, Chen Yan's second Force Pattern completely solidified.

Buzz!

A slight vibration suddenly came from his pocket; it was the Martial Merit Card.

Chen Yan saw that the column showing he had condensed a new Grain Mark within a week had already disappeared.

Was it sensed?

Chen Yan was surprised; this Martial Merit Card was very peculiar, merely a simple Iron Token, yet it could change the images upon it.

And the original line of cultivation tasks had also changed:

【Condense three substantial Grain Marks within a week, reward two hundred Martial Merit Points.】

The column for assassinating Ye Yong had also disappeared this morning, and what surprised Chen Yan was that the Martial Merit Points for killing Ye Yong were originally fifty, but he had been rewarded with two hundred points.

Chen Yan could now be considered to have two hundred and fifty Martial Merit Points.

The price for one hour of Observation and Imagination of 【Hundred Spears Dark Thrust】 was one hundred Martial Merit Points, and Chen Yan planned to go once he had earned enough for twelve hours.

Feeling the flow of power in detail, Chen Yan breathed deeply.

A surging power collided within his body; Chen Yan Clenched Fists, unable to hide the bulging veins.

The feeling of fatigue gradually dissipated, and the feeling of sleepiness also faded quite a bit.

"The one living in this courtyard is Chen Yan, right? So handsome, so diligent."

The young girl among the two staff members spoke with a red face, feeling very shy.

Beside her, the accompanying Zhong Nian Nan Zi scolded in a low voice:

"Stop having a Dream; those who live here are all martial arts geniuses with high status. How could they ever take a fancy to ordinary people like us?"

The young girl was Stun, the blush gradually fading, and she also recalled the gap in status.

At the same time.

Yu Zhiwen arrived in front of the courtyard where Chen Yan was, looking slightly hesitant:

"Chen Yan, could you come out for a moment?"

Yu Zhiwen pursed her lips and looked toward a round-faced girl standing under the shade of a Tree in the distance; that girl was pressing her palms together, looking at Yu Zhiwen with full expectation.

Chen Yan walked out, and Yu Zhiwen's Mu Jin flashed.

She examined Chen Yan carefully; he was indeed very handsome and had a very good temperament. Taking out a pink note from her pocket, Yu Zhiwen spoke in a low voice:

"This is for you."

Chen Yan was Stun; a love letter?

He stood where he was but did not reach out to take it:

"Sorry, I am not considering these things right now."

Yu Zhiwen was Stun, and only then did she speak:

"It's not mine, it's..."

"Hmm, no matter whose it is, I am not considering it." Chen Yan revealed a Smile, very gentle.

Yu Zhiwen watched Chen Yan quietly, wanting to say something, but Chen Yan had already gone back in.

Yu Zhiwen's expression was blank for a long while; she returned in great embarrassment and shook her head at the girl standing under the shade of the Tree.

"Ah..." the girl muttered, full of disappointment.

Yu Zhiwen didn't speak; Chen Yan hadn't even asked whose it was and had refused directly.

That is to say, even if it were her, Yu Zhiwen, she would also be refused.

For some reason, her heart felt very complicated.

She couldn't help but think of what Xia Dong had said.

Teacher Xia Dong must be very regretful.

One Hour later.

"Chen Yan, are you going to the Xuyang District?"

Gao Yuan appeared in front of the small courtyard door. Hearing from others that Chen Yan had endured for five hours in the Blood-Sniffing Room yesterday for the sake of Awakening, Gao Yuan was very impressed.

Going to the Blood-Sniffing Room without having Awakened was like an ordinary person going into an eighty-degree sauna; being able to last even one minute would be considered impressive.

"Going."

Chen Yan walked out of the room; he had just practiced the 【Dun Yuan Art】 for a while and had gained some insight into concealment and dormancy.

There were Ancient Beasts raised by the Chu Family in the Xuyang District, and Chen Yan needed to go for actual combat.

This was also what he and Gao Yuan had agreed upon.

Chen Yan and Gao Yuan left.

Two Male Students arrived; they were Zhang Qingsi and Li Shaowu.

"Chen Yan isn't here." Zhang Qingsi said with annoyance.

"It's fine. Since the Pavilion Master gave me money, I will handle this matter for you." Li Shaowu patted Zhang Qingsi's shoulder with a laugh.

…………

"Staying in the Xuyang District for one extra hour earns you two points. This is a walkie-talkie; if you are in danger, speak up. After ten requests for help, you will be eliminated from the True Martial Class."

In front of the Xuyang District, Er Gao Vice Principal Zhuang Xihang looked at Chen Yan earnestly and handed the walkie-talkie to Chen Yan:

"The right eye of every Ancient Beast is a Fake Eye. After killing them, collect the Fake Eyes. Each Fake Eye has its own point value; as long as you remove it, the points are yours."

As Zhuang Xihang spoke, he took out two cloth bags and handed them to Gao Yuan and Chen Yan.

Chen Yan took the cloth bag, but saw Gao Yuan rubbing his brain:

"Teacher, I don't want one. I can't fight Ancient Beasts; I'm just here to stay as long as I can. Taking a cloth bag is troublesome."

Zhuang Xihang nodded.

Every student is rewarded with two points for staying in Qingshan for one hour; these students are all just starting out, and many do not intend to hunt Ancient Beasts.

Saying this, Zhuang Xihang looked at Chen Yan:

"If you can kill them, do so, but don't force a fight."

"Understood."

Chen Yan nodded and looked at the Qingshan Inner Perimeter ahead, which was surrounded by wire mesh.

It is called the Xuyang District, but it is actually just the Qingshan Inner Perimeter. It is just that the Ancient Beasts inside have been selected and are all below the Five Viscera Realm in strength; the further in you go, the stronger the Ancient Beasts will be.

Beside him, other students from the True Martial Class were also going up the Mountain together.

"We meet again, Chen Yan."

To the side, Wu Chuqi and Wu Chuhua, who were about to enter the Xuyang District, looked at Chen Yan. Chen Yan nodded slightly.

Wu Chuqi revealed a Smile, while Wu Chuhua lowered his brain and entered directly.

"Wu Chuqi is very powerful; I heard he killed ten Ancient Beasts yesterday."

Gao Yuan said from the side, full of emotion:

"The Heavenly Pride from the Xian are truly Heavenly Pride."

Just at this moment, another wave of students walked over, and the person in the lead spoke to Chen Yan:

"Chen Yan of Qingshan Town, I am Li Qingyuan from Zhangni Township. Shall we go up together?"

Before Chen Yan could speak, the Male Student named Li Qingyuan Laughing: "We are all students who came from the Hometown; our foundations are poor, so we must help each other.

The students from the high schools in the Xian look down on us, so we must help each other even more to earn points."

Chen Yan understood; those students from the three high schools in Luoshan County were also indifferent when they saw him.

So, factions had already been formed.

Chen Yan saw that Yu Zhiwen was also in Li Qingyuan's team. Seeing him look over, she lowered her brain.

"Chen Yan, Li Qingyuan is very strong, ranked tenth. Among us students from the Hometown, only you and Li Qingyuan have your own Xiao Yuan."

To the side, Gao Yuan was Laughing and even greeted Li Qingyuan, clearly having known him for a long time.

"No."

Chen Yan spoke; it was Luo Puxin who suggested he come to the Xuyang District to try fighting Ancient Beasts.

If he teamed up with others and kept avoiding the Ancient Beasts, what would be the point?

Seeing Chen Yan refuse, Li Qingyuan was not angry and said with a Smile:

"I know you are a genius and are thinking about whether you can handle the Ancient Beasts on your own. I thought the same thing at the beginning.

But it is dangerous to fight; what we need now is to earn points first, then become stronger."

As Li Qingyuan spoke, Gao Yuan nodded.

"No, I will try first. If it doesn't work, I will join you." Chen Yan revealed a Smile; since the other party spoke with good intentions, he answered normally.

"Hmm, that works too. If you have difficulties, join us and let's become stronger together." Li Qingyuan said with a warm Smile.

Chen Yan glanced at Gao Yuan, and seeing that the other party was a bit hesitant, he spoke:

"Gao Yuan, you go ahead and join a team."

Seeing Chen Yan say this, Gao Yuan could only nod.

Chen Yan left, and someone in Li Qingyuan's team spoke with dissatisfaction:

"Does he think he's very powerful? Didn't he just beat Wu Chuhua?

Brother Qingyuan is tenth, while Wu Chuhua is only twentieth."

Li Qingyuan turned his brain and said to that person:

"I don't agree with what you said. Don't you think you are powerful in your own heart?

No one thinks they are trash, and I am the same. Chen Yan has the right to try on his own."

Li Qingyuan's attitude was gentle:

"Of course, failure is also his right; this has nothing to do with you or me."

Everyone nodded, feeling great respect for Li Qingyuan.

They came to the True Martial Class and were looked down upon in various ways; it was Li Qingyuan who formed the faction and made them pull together as one.

Within the team, Yu Zhiwen looked at the round-faced girl beside her:

"Why don't you just pursue Li Qingyuan? He's steady and even stronger than Chen Yan."

The round-faced girl was still sinking in the Shade of being rejected by Chen Yan and could not extricate herself; at this moment, she muttered:

"But Chen Yan is good-looking."

Yu Zhiwen did not speak; he was indeed good-looking. Why hadn't she noticed before?
