Chapter 7: Qi and Blood 3! Cultivating Yin-Yang Taiji Fist!

In Liu Kuang's office at the Hengcheng Martial Artists Association.

Su Yu stood there quietly, waiting.

As for Wu Ming, he seemed to have something to do and left first.

"Congratulations, you've become an official Martial Artist; this is your symbol of status!"

Liu Kuang handed a badge to Su Yu.

It was a badge engraved on the back with a knife, a sword, and a peach blossom pattern.

On the front it read "Junior Martial Artist".

Liu Kuang's voice continued.

"Now that you're a Martial Artist, let me properly explain the divisions among Martial Artists."

Su Yu became interested; in class, most lessons were about how to become a Martial Artist, but few explained what it was like after becoming one.

Liu Kuang said, "When your Qi and Blood reach 1, you can become an official Martial Artist; Martial Artists are broadly divided into Qi Blood Realm, Blood Refining Realm, Organ Tempering Realm, Golden Body Realm, Flying Heaven Realm, and above that, the Grand Master Realm! As for beyond Grand Master, you'll naturally know when you grow."

"These realms are all called Martial Artists; for example, I am now an Organ Tempering Realm Martial Artist!"

"Martial Artists cultivate Qi and Blood; when Qi and Blood reach 10, you're considered a Blood Refining Realm Martial Artist; at 100, Organ Tempering; at 1,000, Golden Body."

"Of course, this is only a very rough division."

"The so-called Qi Blood Realm cultivates Qi and Blood; this is merely the most basic Martial Artist realm. The Blood Refining Realm continually tempers the quality of one's Qi and Blood; one can say that a Blood Refining Martial Artist's 1 point of Qi and Blood equals 2 or even 3 points of a Qi Blood Martial Artist. As for the Organ Tempering Realm beyond Blood Refining, they temper their six organs, stepping toward the Golden Body, which is exceedingly formidable."

"As for the Flying Heaven Realm above Golden Body, Qi and Blood can no longer substitute; their Qi and Blood are so thick they cannot be measured. As the name implies, such powerhouses can even rely on their terrifying Qi and Blood to achieve flight. Among all the male students, they are top-tier existences!"

As he said this, a hint of longing even appeared in Liu Kuang's eyes.

Even Su Yu began to yearn for it.

After all, what man doesn't want to fly through the skies?

To reach that realm akin to immortals?

Liu Kuang laughed and shook his head.

"Such a realm is still too far for us; first cultivate well, don't aim too high."

Afterwards he handed a wooden box to Su Yu.

"Inside are ten Qi-Blood Pills; each month you can get ten from the Martial Artists Association. As for later Martial Artist techniques and testing equipment, you'll fill in an address and someone will deliver them."

Su Yu nodded, looking at Liu Kuang as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"What? Is there something else?"

Liu Kuang laughed and said.

For a genius like Su Yu, he was still willing to say more.

Su Yu scratched his head, a bit embarrassed, saying, "Um, wasn't there supposed to be a cash reward?"

Liu Kuang stared for a moment, then chuckled, "You're already a Martial Artist; these external things don't matter. How about I have someone credit your card with 100,000 later?"

Su Yu was delighted, saying, "Thank you, Chairman Liu!"

Liu Kuang smiled, waved his hand, and said.

"Alright, nothing else; head back now. Perhaps we'll meet again sometime."

Liu Kuang stared at Su Yu with deep meaning.

Su Yu nodded, turned, and left the office.

After Su Yu left, Liu Kuang restrained his smile, took out his phone, looked at a number on it, and hesitated for a long time.

He placed the call.

"Hello, this is Liu Kuang..."

Su Yu left the Martial Artists Association and walked toward his home.

In a place Su Yu didn't know, a figure stood silently in the shadows.

The figure tapped the Bluetooth earpiece on his ear.

"The target has left the Martial Artists Association; should we make a move?"

From the earpiece came a deep voice.

"No rush; wait for a chance to leave the city before acting. Acting inside the city would cause too much commotion."

The figure fell silent for a moment, then spoke.

"Yes!"

Inside the rental house, Su Yu radiated energy as he closed the room door.

Su Yu opened the synthesis slot.

After converting all the Qi-Blood Pills into Blood-Refining Pills, he then turned them into two Tempering Body Pills.

After a moment's hesitation, Su Yu chose to combine the two Tempering Body Pills into one Tempering Bone Pill.

Now Su Yu possessed two Tempering Bone Pills and one Blood-Refining Pill.

"Phew, two Tempering Bone Pills should push my Qi and Blood up to around 3; I wonder how much strength the Tempering Bone Pill will give me."

Su Yu felt some anticipation.

After adjusting his condition, Su Yu placed a Tempering Bone Pill in his mouth.

Instantly, a violent surge of energy rushed into Su Yu's body.

In that instant, Su Yu felt as if his entire skeleton were about to be torn apart.

That sensation was like a fractured patient having the doctor forcibly pull the bones back.

"Hmph!"

Su Yu let out a muffled groan; within just a few seconds his face turned pale, and large beads of sweat even appeared on his forehead.

"It hurts..."

Su Yu's face turned ferocious; although the Synthesis Slot had a description, he never expected it to be this painful.

Time flowed slowly, and an hour passed.

Only then did Su Yu feel that the pain gradually faded.

Accompanying it was a warm energy that filled Su Yu's entire body.

That was a fluctuation of Qi and Blood!

Su Yu suddenly opened his eyes, and joy burst forth.

"Qi and Blood reached 2!"

Su Yu was overexcited.

You should know that, having become a Martial Artist, before obtaining a proper martial artist's technique, raising one's Qi and Blood by even one point takes a long time.

Even those Martial Artists who have obtained the technique need at least ten-odd days.

And Su Yu, relying on the Bone-Tempering Pill, raised his Qi and Blood by one point in just one hour.

"Not bad for a fourth-grade pill; indeed powerful!"

"There's still one..."

Su Yu gritted his teeth.

"Better to use them all; only by increasing strength can I get more resources, and then I can improve faster!"

Su Yu clearly understood that in this world, effort and reward are always directly proportional.

Only by becoming stronger can one obtain richer resources.

And with the Synthesis Slot, doubling resources is no problem.

He made a slight adjustment.

Su Yu continued taking the Bone-Tempering Pill.

Time flowed slowly.

Another hour passed, and Su Yu barely managed to refine the medicinal power of the last Bone-Tempering Pill..

After the boost from two Bone-Tempering Pills, Su Yu's Qi and Blood have now reached 3.1.

Even in the Blood Refining Realm, he is no longer considered weak.

"At this rate, once the martial artist's technique arrives, I have hope to break into the Blood Refining Realm within half a month!"

Blood Refining Realm!

You should know that in Hengcheng, those at the Blood Refining Realm can stand on their own.

Even in Hengcheng, those prominent figures are merely at the Blood Refining Realm.

Like Liu Kuang, the Vice President of the Martial Artists Association, who can cover the sky with one hand in Hengcheng, is at the Organ Tempering Realm.

As for the Golden Body Realm.....

Even looking across the whole Jiangnan Province, they are top-tier existences.

Su Yu opened the Synthesis Slot and suddenly noticed.

The Luck Value beside it had actually reached nine!

"Hey! The Luck Value is almost full?"

At this moment, Su Yu even felt some anticipation; when the Luck Value reaches a hundred, what rare item will be synthesized?

Things that the Synthesis Slot calls rare items...

They should be good stuff!

"Next, I will cultivate the Yin-Yang Taiji Fist!"

Su Yu took out that sheepskin scroll from a corner.

Yin-Yang Taiji Fist!

Gilded characters entered Su Yu's eyes, and he solemnly unfolded the scroll.

This was Su Yu's first encounter with a martial technique!
