Chapter 103

Lin Qi nodded, listening carefully.

Today's harvest was huge; he came into contact with many secrets he completely didn't know and learned of the existence of the Insect Race.

If he were still an ordinary student, he would have no qualifications to know these things at all.

"But Student Lin Qi, you can rest assured."

"Even if you become an S-level existence, they won't put you on the assassination list."

Supervisor Sun said with a smile.

"Why?" Lin Qi was puzzled.

"Because you haven't awakened special abilities."

"The targets of the Insect Race have always been geniuses who have awakened special abilities; even if you are an S-level genius, no matter how strong your physical talent and comprehension are, they don't look down on them."

"So it's because they didn't look down on them!" Lin Qi was speechless.

"So Lin Qi, you are very safe now, but once you awaken special abilities, it will be different."

Yue Feng sat down again and said:

"Our Xia country possesses a satellite defense system and a Sky Eye system, monitoring the entire city in real-time; if the Insect Race wants to succeed in an assassination, it is extremely difficult."

"You don't need to worry too much."

"What you need to do next is to learn Source Energy cultivation techniques; having just broken through to the Second Realm, you can learn cultivation techniques."

"Absorb the free Source Energy in the air, temper your flesh, and increase your Qi-blood value."

"In this disaster beast tide, some geniuses performed very well, and there were even some more exaggerated than you."

"I received news yesterday that Chen Li, the first place in the entire province of Bai Lu City, appeared in the disaster beast tide at Magic Cube Plaza; he killed 23 disaster beasts in 10 minutes!!"

"Including 21 Level One disaster beasts, two Level Two disaster beasts, and he even briefly confronted a Level Three disaster beast, the Gray-Spined Giant Wolf."

"And he is the same as you, also fighting against disaster beasts for the first time."

"The people at the Chongming Martial Arts Pavilion are overjoyed; it is very likely they will give him an S-level contract!" Yue Feng spoke slowly.

Lin Qi was shocked after hearing this; 23 disaster beasts, 8 more than he killed, and he even confronted a Level Three disaster beast, the Gray-Spined Giant Wolf.

Is this the strength of the first place in Cang Province?

Looking at it this way, Chen Li is indeed a bit more excellent than him.

But give him a little more time, his strength will improve even faster, and surpassing Chen Li is only a matter of time.

Lin Qi clenched his fists, feeling a bit of pressure.

A few minutes later, Lin Qi and Supervisor Sun left the Lu Guanzhu's office.

Yue Feng watched the backs of the two.

"Lin Qi, you must work hard; don't let the genius of the Chongming Martial Arts Pavilion get our Cang Province's first place."

……

Leaving the Lu Guanzhu's office, Lin Qi asked.

"Supervisor Sun, regarding choosing cultivation techniques, do you have any good suggestions?"

Supervisor Sun spoke slowly: "The martial path of our humans is to practice the evolution of life; this is the foundation."

"And Source Energy cultivation techniques are the fundamental law."

"Cultivation techniques can help us absorb the Source Energy that escapes from another world, thereby allowing the body to undergo transformation."

"And the exquisiteness of the cultivation technique determines the speed of our absorption of Source Energy; the more exquisite the cultivation technique, naturally the more Source Energy is absorbed, and the higher the tempering efficiency."

"So it's very simple; just choose the most exquisite cultivation technique."

"The premise is a cultivation technique that fits oneself."

"If the fit is not enough, it will only delay one's own cultivation."

"For example, the Red Emperor's cultivation technique, although it is the best, it is not suitable for everyone; you must remember this."

"I understand!"

Lin Qi nodded and silently remembered it.

……

Half an hour later, Tianhai City First People's Hospital, Room 306.

Fang Huiyi sat up, looked at Lin Qi and Lin Zhen in front of her, moved her arms, and smiled:

"Removing the toxins, I feel my body is much lighter, and my arms have strength too."

"Mom, I bought you a lot of supplements; from now on, you can walk the martial path again." Lin Qi handed over a tube of treatment potion.

It can be used to nourish body organs.

Fang Huiyi drank the potion and nodded:

"I also have to work hard to become stronger; otherwise, if I encounter disaster beasts, I will become the one holding everyone back again."

……

An hour later, Fang Huiyi completely recovered and could be discharged.

The family took a car back together; their car was in the underground parking lot and was not damaged.

After returning home, Lin Qi chose to go to the Red Dome Martial Arts Pavilion himself.

Room B123

Lin Qi changed into a martial arts suit, took an energy potion, and applied Red Blood Ointment. He started standing in the Hunyuan Stance on the spot and began today's training.

Half an hour later, his body was scorching hot, as if burning, his face red and ears red, sweating like rain.

Chest held, back straight, shoulders sunk, elbows dropped, Qi sinking into the dantian...

Every movement of the Hunyuan Stance was extremely standard, allowing the effect of the stance work to be exerted to the maximum.

Qi-blood surged all over his body, like little snakes wandering in his body; this surge of Qi-blood began to wander and temper in the large tendons of his body.

"Hoo~"

An hour and a half later, Lin Qi suddenly exhaled a breath of turbid air, stood up, and locked his gaze on the panel.

【You passed the arduous training, your Qi-blood value has broken through, Qi-blood value +0.01】

Lin Qi looked at the panel and frowned; the current tempering efficiency was too low.

After breaking through to the Second Realm, relying solely on standing in the stance, the speed of Qi-blood value improvement was as slow as a turtle crawling.

If his talent was good and it improved so slowly, there was no need to mention others.

!

So it was indeed necessary to start practicing cultivation techniques and directly absorb the Source Energy in the air.

Lin Qi picked up the long spear and directly practiced spear art.

Spear art is different from stance work; he practiced three spear arts, and even if he practiced the third killing move for all of them, he still felt there was huge room for improvement.

"Swish-swish!!"

Soon, he grabbed the repaired Thunder-Horn Great Spear and started practicing.

The fifty-jin Thunder-Horn Great Spear was just right for him, who possessed thousand-jin strength.

The strength was suitable, and it could more effectively apply pressure to his arms, improving his wrist strength and his mastery of spear art.

Feeling the strength injected into the great spear and unleashed, soon he was immersed in it.

……

The next day

During the day, Lin Qi went to the Red Dome Martial Arts Pavilion in the morning with Jiang Tao and Li Zhou to accept an interview from the television station.

Li Zhou and Jiang Tao had good talent, plus the help of various treatment potions; now, on the surface, they had completely recovered.

The three of them accepted the interview mechanically; there was a script prepared in advance, and they just had to read it; Lin Qi also didn't have the idea of improvising.

So the interview went smoothly.

It lasted until the afternoon before it ended.

……

Night

Lin Qi changed into a martial arts suit, and opposite him stood a middle-aged man who was extremely burly, strong as a brown bear, with a scar on his face.

It was Lin Qi's martial arts teacher—Zhang Cheng!

"Zhang Laoshi, sorry, for making you come over specially."

Lin Qi apologized.

Zhang Cheng waved his hand and said: "No need to apologize; for me, it's just one night's time."

Then he grinned and said: "You actually really broke through to the Second Realm; I heard you practice the Five Forms together."

"Your talent is much stronger than I imagined."

"You are the true number one genius of our Second Middle School."

"My time doesn't matter."

"But for a genius like you, delaying one day is a huge loss."

Lin Qi shook his head: "Zhang Laoshi, you overpraise me."

"Alright, let's talk about business!"

Zhang Cheng crossed his arms and organized his language, then spoke slowly.

"There are nine major gates in the martial path, one gate, one realm."

"The First Realm is for tempering flesh, the Second Realm is for tempering tendons!"

"The muscles of your body have already been tempered to a certain realm; tempering them further won't have much improvement."

"You need to shift your target to your own fascia; in the process of tempering tendons, your strength and Qi-blood value improvement speed will also become faster."

Zhang Cheng walked with his hands behind his back while talking.

"After several years of research by us humans, we discovered that the process from tempering flesh to tempering tendons in the martial path is the most reasonable and the most efficient."

"If it were tempering skin or tempering bones, it wouldn't be the most efficient choice."

Zhang Cheng stopped, took off his coat, spread his arms, and clenched his fists.

"Crack-crack!"

Only hearing "crack-crack" sounds, the muscles of his arms instantly expanded, and veins bulged.

"Next, I will explain to you properly what tempering tendons is!"
