Chapter 91

"Kunlun Martial Arts University's document?" Li Yuan clicked to accept it immediately.

It was a brief cultivation guide and recommendation, sent by Fan Jin.

Li Yuan just started reading it.

"Beep~" His V-com call vibrated; it was a communication from Teacher Fan Jin.

Li Yuan immediately chose to answer.

Hum~ The video call was established.

"Teacher Fan." Li Yuan smiled as he looked at the old man in pajamas on the light screen.

"It's so late, I hope I didn't disturb your rest." Fan Jin laughed.

"No."

"Mm, you should have received the document." Fan Jin laughed: "Logically, this cultivation guide document should have been given to you after the college entrance exam."

"However, I just received news from the Starfire Martial Hall that your physical fitness has reached level 9.5?"

Li Yuan remained calm on the surface, but his heart skipped a beat.

He already understood; he must have been too excited during today's practical sparring and failed to hold back his strength in time, exposing his true level.

There was a 99% probability that when Fang Longhu reported his resignation as a sparring partner, he mentioned Li Yuan's situation in passing.

Li Yuan didn't find it strange that Fang Longhu reported it.

Given his contract level, the high-level officials of the Starfire Martial Hall would certainly continue to follow and pay attention to him.

It was just that he hadn't expected Kunlun Martial Arts University to find out in just two hours.

For a moment, Li Yuan could only smile.

"Haha, don't worry."

Teacher Fan Jin laughed: "You have already signed contracts with both our Kunlun Martial Arts University and the Starfire Martial Hall, and the contract levels are extremely high. Naturally, both sides will establish communication to learn about your situation faster and adjust your cultivation plan in time."

"Thank you for your concern, Teacher." Li Yuan laughed: "I only had a breakthrough in my skill level the day before the invitation event. I don't know why, but over the past week or so, after using the Yuan Force Essence Pills, my physical fitness has improved very quickly. Right now, it shouldn't be at level 9.5 yet; I estimate it's around level 9.3."

If he said level 9.5 right away, it would be too exaggerated.

The difference in power output between level 9.5 and 9.3 wasn't that significant.

"Level 9.3?"

Fan Jin was also surprised: "A week ago, you were only level 8.9, right! Could it be that your test at that time wasn't accurate?"

Li Yuan smiled and didn't speak.

"It seems Dean Li was right; your physical talent is extremely high, you were just lacking a cultivation technique. Your progress was already faster than those students practicing high-stage cultivation techniques before... Mm, you were only at the fourth stage then, and you were able to dig deeper into your body's strength... It's not strange to improve by 0.4 levels all at once." Fan Jin nodded, and the look in his eyes as he looked at Li Yuan changed slightly: "Good thing! A good thing!"

Without Li Yuan needing to explain, Fan Jin had already filled in the blanks himself.

After all, such examples were not rare in the history of martial arts.

"Level 9.3 is about the same." Fan Jin said: "Li Yuan, you should know that if you want to improve your physical fitness, it's different from many students; you will be very dependent on external objects."

"This student understands." Li Yuan said.

Other people could practice high-stage cultivation techniques to absorb cosmic Yuan Force, but he couldn't.

"Before level 9.5, swallowing basic blood-Qi potions and ordinary Yuan Force Essence Pills can satisfy the needs of your body's evolution." Fan Jin said: "But the stronger the body, the more energy it consumes."

"Relying solely on these, after exceeding level 9.5, your body's evolution speed will gradually decline or even come to a complete standstill."

Li Yuan nodded lightly.

In fact, since his physical fitness exceeded 8.0, he had already gradually felt this way.

"My suggestion is to combine it with the cultivation guide in the document." Fan Jin said: "Start trying to swallow first-rank blood-Qi liquid, and cooperate with the use of Body-Cleansing Spirit Marrow and Yuan Force Essence Pills."

"What is Body-Cleansing Spirit Marrow?" Li Yuan asked in confusion.

He knew the first two.

"It was developed specifically for your situation of having no cultivation technique." Fan Jin said: "Any potion or elixir contains impurities."

"Normal martial artists practice cultivation techniques and take fewer external objects, so the burden on the body is not great."

"But you can't."

"Body-Cleansing Spirit Marrow can continuously wash away the impurities in your body. In this way, as long as your body can absorb Yuan Force and blood-Qi medicinal power, you can improve at a near-limit speed." Fan Jin said: "Back then, the first generation of martial artists relied on the very first generation of 'Body-Cleansing Spirit Marrow' to arduously pile their physical fitness up to level 19."

Li Yuan suddenly understood.

"Nowadays, few people use Body-Cleansing Spirit Marrow. You should be able to find it if you search in the Starfire Space." Fan Jin said: "Follow the cultivation guide document for the ratio of the three."

"Try it once first."

"If your body can withstand the pain of the Body-Cleansing Spirit Marrow."

"Then continue. If you find that your body cannot withstand it, then continue according to the old cultivation plan." Fan Jin laughed, looking forward to it: "Strive to improve your physical fitness to level 10.0 or even higher before August."

"At the end of July, the school will organize a practical assessment. Although you have already passed the practical assessment, you can apply again. By then, the top 100 out of the 2,000 freshmen will receive cash rewards." Fan Jin laughed: "The top 10 will be rewarded with 3 million Blue Star coins."

He knew very well how to dangle a carrot in front of students.

"Yes." Li Yuan said seriously.

He hung up the phone.

"Practical assessment? End of July?" Li Yuan's eyes were full of excitement.

Before, Li Yuan was still wondering where to find opportunities for practical assessment.

So he could raise his spiritual awakening level to the 20% limit and see if he could get another chance for spiritual guidance.

With his strength, going to the war front was too dangerous; the Starfire Martial Hall and the school would never allow him to go.

He didn't expect.

The opportunity came in the blink of an eye.

"End of July? Still four months away?" Li Yuan thought to himself: "Top 10, and an extra 3 million Blue Star coin reward?"

A very generous reward.

"Try my best."

"Just as Teacher Fan Jin said, try my best to become a true first-rank martial artist." Li Yuan thought to himself.

Kunlun Martial Arts University was vaguely the number one martial arts university in the Xia Nation, recruiting 2,000 students every year, and those who could enter were all elites from all over the country.

However.

"My goal is number one!" Li Yuan's heart was full of ambition.

The top 10 was a 3 million Blue Star coin reward.

What about number one? Would it be higher?

"Body-Cleansing Spirit Marrow is very painful? I want to see how painful it is!"

He entered the virtual network, the Starfire Space.

"Master, I am so..." The purple-clothed girl beside him just wanted to speak.

"Shut up." Li Yuan interrupted directly: "I want all the information about Body-Cleansing Spirit Marrow, as well as the purchase price and permission requirements."

"Alright, Master." The purple-clothed girl was still smiling.

Hum~

A light screen appeared in front of Li Yuan, and a large amount of text information was revealed.

"So that's how it is." Li Yuan understood.

Subsequently.

Li Yuan clicked on the cultivation guide document again and finally concluded: "If I follow the new plan, if my body can withstand it, before level 12, the evolution speed can be 50%-100% faster."

How much faster it can be depends on the individual.

As for after level 12? If he followed the original cultivation plan, it would be difficult to improve even a little bit after his physical fitness reached level 12.

"One step fast, every step fast."

"Right now, I don't have a high-stage cultivation technique, so naturally, I must seize every opportunity." Li Yuan made a decision: "Adopt the new cultivation plan."

This plan was good in every way.

There was only one drawback—money!

Over the past six months, the cultivation resources Li Yuan purchased every month cost about 220,000 Blue Star coins/points.

But if he followed the new plan.

"First-rank blood-Qi potion, 10,000 Blue Star coins a bottle, at least 20 bottles a month." Li Yuan thought to himself: "3 Yuan Force Essence Pills every month."

"Combined with Body-Cleansing Spirit Marrow, three portions a month, one portion is 200,000 Blue Star coins."

The monthly cost is at least 1.1 million Blue Star coins!!

Martial arts has always been a money pit.

In this set of cultivation plans, Body-Cleansing Spirit Marrow is the core. Without it, Li Yuan simply couldn't digest so many blood-Qi potions and Yuan Force Essence Pills.

Even if he had the money, he couldn't spend it.

"Xiaoyu, according to the new cultivation plan, buy one portion of Body-Cleansing Spirit Marrow first." Li Yuan said: "Tomorrow, deliver it to my receiving address at the Martial Hall."

"Master, a reminder." The purple-clothed girl said: "Body-Cleansing Spirit Marrow is extremely painful after use. If the body is too weak and the will is not strong enough, it is very difficult to withstand."

"According to the suggestion, Master should wait until after level 10.0 before trying."

"Do it immediately."

"Yes!"

The next second.

Beep~ Li Yuan received a reminder that 200,000 Blue Star coins had been deducted from his account.

"Use points!" Li Yuan couldn't help but say.

"Master, this is a new item. The first time you buy it, it will default to using Blue Star coins..." The purple-clothed girl's voice became weak.

"Why didn't you ask me first?"

"You told me to do it immediately!" The purple-clothed girl immediately became righteous.

The next afternoon.

Li Yuan asked for leave from Teacher Xu Bo and came directly to the Martial Hall.

Xu Bo agreed directly.

Xu Bo had basically let go of Li Yuan's cultivation, even allowing Li Yuan not to attend the usual martial arts classes.

You know, most high school martial arts teachers only have a 'third-stage' level of martial arts skills.

Just in terms of skill realm, Li Yuan already belonged to the same major realm as Xu Bo.

Starfire Guanshan Branch Hall, Martial Arts Room 7024.

"Body-Cleansing Spirit Marrow." Li Yuan carefully opened the box. Inside the box was a transparent bottle, and green liquid flowed inside, as if it were jade.

A faint light flowed on the surface, the luster was restrained, and just looking at the appearance, it gave people a sense of purity and flawlessness.

"It's really beautiful." Li Yuan thought to himself: "According to the instructions, this thing cannot be swallowed, it must be applied to the body, and the whole body must be covered?"

Hand application? Too backward!

Li Yuan took the bottle to the therapy room and gently placed it on the rack of the 'Full-Body Therapy Instrument'.

Because of practicing the "Great Sun Starry Sky Sutra", Li Yuan rarely used the therapy room before.

"Xiaoyu."

"Turn on the full-body application standing mode, Body-Cleansing Spirit Marrow, slowly apply to the whole body." Li Yuan said directly: "Authorize."

"Yes." A gentle voice sounded in the room.

Li Yuan took off all his clothes, stood directly into the full-body therapy instrument, and waited quietly.

Hum~ The bottle of Body-Cleansing Spirit Marrow was opened by the machine, and immediately after, Li Yuan saw the needle probe in, and all the green liquid disappeared rapidly.

Not a drop left.

A few seconds later!

Hum~ Hum~ The surface of several 'application instruments' simulating human hands exuded green liquid and began to slowly apply it to Li Yuan's whole body.

The application instrument simulated human hands, slightly warm, very comfortable, but immediately Li Yuan felt his back slightly hot.

"Body-Cleansing Spirit Marrow? Sure enough, as the instructions said, it works fast." Li Yuan thought to himself.

Rapidly.

Li Yuan only felt strands of strange power, as if they were continuously penetrating into his body along the application parts, and immediately after, his whole body's limbs and bones began to ache, and the pain continued to soar.

Pain! It was as if fingernails were being fiercely stabbed in.

Itchy! Ten times more intense than being tickled on the soles of the feet.

Sour! It was as if after sitting for a long time, the legs were completely numb, and then someone was frantically shaking them.

Under the superposition of the triple experience, every second was absolutely a nightmare for ordinary people.

He even had the urge to commit suicide.

"Is that it?" Li Yuan frowned. Although he felt uncomfortable, he could still withstand it.

Every day, Li Yuan would practice the "Great Sun Starry Sky Sutra". In terms of mental pain and torture alone, it was much more intense than this.

Suddenly.

The massage instrument slowly brushed over a special part located in the middle of the human body.

It brushed very carefully.

A few seconds later.

"Holy crap!" Li Yuan's eyes widened suddenly, and he finally couldn't help but swear.

Two hours later, night fell.

The medicinal effect of the Body-Cleansing Spirit Marrow was gone, and Li Yuan finally regained his clarity.

"It was indeed a bit hard to endure." Li Yuan thought to himself, his peripheral vision glancing over his strong body.

Visible to the naked eye, on the surface of the skin, there were a few impurities that didn't exist before.

"Cleansing the marrow? Really pooping through pores?" Li Yuan muttered to himself.

However.

Li Yuan's gaze couldn't help but sweep over the Divine Palace panel; the life level hadn't changed.

But he did feel that his whole body had indeed become much lighter, and his whole body was more energetic.

Soon, after Li Yuan took a shower, he felt that his skin seemed to have become much more delicate and fair.

"Eat a Yuan Force Essence Pill and try it out."

Ten minutes later.

Li Yuan, who had taken the Yuan Force Essence Pill, began to practice the basic cultivation method. He felt strands of heat-like Yuan Force released from his chest, rapidly flowing to all parts of his body.

It was continuously swallowed by his muscles and bones, gradually becoming stronger.

"Sure enough, it's effective." A glimmer of light flashed in Li Yuan's eyes: "I took the Yuan Force Essence Pill ten days ago. Logically, it should be difficult to absorb now, the efficacy would be wasted by more than half, and the body would feel very uncomfortable."

"What about now? It's like I haven't swallowed it for a month."

Without hesitation.

Li Yuan placed an order directly and ordered a month's worth of cultivation resources according to his cultivation needs.

"Body-Cleansing Spirit Marrow?"

"Li Yuan, he actually managed to withstand that kind of torture?" Wan Qinghe soon received the news that Li Yuan had ordered Body-Cleansing Spirit Marrow.

"This willpower! It's truly terrifying."

Li Yuan, who had implemented the brand-new cultivation plan, saw his body evolution speed, which had originally slowed down slightly, become faster than before.

Time passed like water, day after day, and in the blink of an eye, it was April 10th.

The April mock exam for high school seniors in Jiangcheng City also arrived as scheduled.
