Chapter 82: Dual Cultivation of Mind and Martial Arts, Instructor Chen's Shock

【Name: Ye Bai】

【Qi and Blood: (Third Grade Peak)】

【Martial Techniques: Explosive Blood Combat Method (Great Success Level 2900/), Burning Blood Secret Art (Great Success Level 0/), Nine Extremes Spear Technique (Proficient 0/2000), Seven Star Heavenly Dipper Steps (Skilled 0/3000), Blood Sacrifice Art (Skilled 1911/3000)】

【Lifespan: 300 years, 2 months, 3 days, 16 hours】

Ye Bai's personal panel had undergone huge changes compared to yesterday!

The Burning Blood Secret Art had already been boosted to the Great Success Level by exploiting a bug!

Once activated, it provided a comprehensive boost of up to 500%!

Moreover, another night had passed, and Ye Bai's talent in martial techniques had finally manifested once again.

The Earth Grade Top Quality movement technique, Seven Star Heavenly Dipper Steps, had been successfully mastered and boosted to the Skilled level by exploiting a bug!

Ye Bai had experimented briefly and found that pure movement techniques still had their merits.

Not only did it provide a direct two-fold movement speed bonus, but during close combat, one could also execute mysterious footwork to dodge enemy attacks!

As for the Blood Sacrifice Art, it was the superior version of the Burning Blood Secret Art that Ye Bai had requested through Liu Qingtian, who in turn went through the Ning Family—an Earth Grade side-effect martial technique!

As an Earth Grade Top Quality technique, it was far more heaven-defying than the Burning Blood Secret Art.

Just upon entry-level, it provided a 100% comprehensive boost.

At the Skilled level, 200%!

In other words.

If Ye Bai were to activate the Explosive Blood Combat Method, the Burning Blood Secret Art, and the Blood Sacrifice Art simultaneously at this moment.

The total boost he could obtain would reach as high as 11 times!

His Qi and Blood Value had not increased.

However, with a shake of his arms, Ye Bai's pure strength value had already reached as high as 7.2 million jin!

In just half a day, Ye Bai's combat power had once again seen a massive increase!

The only price was that if all three martial techniques were used at the same time...

The speed at which the blood in his body burned was a bit too fast...

Half an hour was the limit...

But it was enough to secure the rewards!

"The last one, Ye Bai!"

However, to Ye Bai's surprise.

As time continued to pass, his name was actually called out very soon!

"Huh? Am I the last one?"

Ye Bai clearly remembered that Liu Bufan, whom he had met once while standing at the front of the crowd, had not gone up to the stage!

"Good grief, don't tell me Liu Bufan really is a dual cultivator of Mind and Martial arts as the rumors say?

So even though everyone is saying Liu Bufan is only at the Second Grade realm, and Nangong Zheng lost to him in less than two and a half minutes, does that mean according to the Genius Camp's rules, he doesn't need to undergo the assessment and can directly take all the rewards?"

Zhuge Yun, standing to the side, exclaimed.

"Dual cultivator of Mind and Martial arts?" This was the first time Ye Bai had heard this term; his gaze immediately sharpened, and he had his guesses.

"Brother Ye Bai, you might not know..." Zhuge Yun offered an explanation.

It verified Ye Bai's guess.

Martial Artists indeed did not only cultivate Qi and Blood.

A hundred years ago, when humanity did not know the function of Soul Crystals and had not yet forged War Soldiers, they did not rely on luck to resist the invasion of the Evil Spirit Race!

Mind-force Martial Artists! Also known as Mental Power Martial Artists!

Unlike conventional Martial Artists who cultivated Qi and Blood.

Mind-force Martial Artists were born with powerful Mental Power, and the talents they awakened were also of the Mental Power type; through cultivation, they could increase their Mental Power just like increasing Qi and Blood, possessing soul-attack methods similar to the Evil Spirit Race!

Dual cultivation of Mind and Martial arts meant that this Martial Artist not only had talent in Mental Power cultivation, but their talent in Qi and Blood was equally high!

With the two superimposed, they would possess super-strong combat power!

Take Liu Bufan for example.

Ye Bai only just learned that Liu Bufan was only a Second Grade Martial Artist!

Yet he possessed the ability to defeat Nangong Zheng, and even fight a Fourth Grade powerhouse head-on!

"I wish I were a dual cultivator of Mind and Martial arts too..."

After hearing what Zhuge Yun said, a look of envy couldn't help but flash across Ye Bai's eyes.

A Mind-force Martial Artist could kill Evil Spirits of the same grade!

A dual cultivator of Mind and Martial arts could even fight Evil Spirits across grades!

More importantly, they didn't need to rely on massive amounts of Soul Crystals to strengthen their Mental Power!

"Brother Ye Bai, there's nothing to envy; you wouldn't be able to keep up with the training!"

"Liu Bufan has the cultivation of Department Head Liu, and he's still only a Second Grade dual cultivator; who knows how long it will take him to reach the Third Grade.

Maybe by the time the one-month Genius Camp training ends, you, Xiao Huohuo, and Nangong Zheng will all be at the Rank Four Early Stage or even higher, while Liu Bufan is still at the Second Grade!"

However, Zhuge Yun added that dual cultivation of Mind and Martial arts wasn't entirely an advantage; having to cultivate both meant needing to expend double or even more energy!

"If only the Lifespan Shop could exchange for Mental Power..."

Ye Bai knew Zhuge Yun's words made sense, and another hope sprouted in his heart.

"Ye Bai, it's your turn!"

"Think carefully about how you're going to last for ten minutes!"

Nangong Zheng had arrived near him at some point, his playful voice pulling Ye Bai's thoughts back.

He was certain Ye Bai would not last ten minutes.

"Oh."

Ye Bai couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Nangong Zheng and stepped onto the stage.

"Pretentious!" Nangong Zheng felt even more that Ye Bai was being pretentious.

"Instructor, please enlighten me!"

After a moment of hesitation, Ye Bai ultimately chose the instructor carrying a long spear on his back as his opponent.

The Dragon Scale Spear appeared in his hand.

"Hm? Ye Bai uses a spear too?"

"Pfft, I get it now. He probably thinks the spear is the king of all weapons, so even if he doesn't know how to use it, he can still unleash decent power, right?"

"But where does he get the nerve to be like me and pick this instructor as an opponent? Is he showing off his broadsword in front of Guan Gong?"

Nangong Zheng only just realized that Ye Bai also used a long spear.

In the blink of an eye, he "guessed" the real reason Ye Bai used a spear, and he laughed even harder!

"Student Ye Bai, you shouldn't have challenged me."

The Instructor had the same thought as Nangong Zheng.

He even felt even more annoyed with Ye Bai in his heart.

Arrogant, conceited, and lacking self-awareness!

He knew Ye Bai had Third Grade Peak Blood Qi, and his Qi and Blood Value should be second only to Liu Bufan among everyone present.

But they had just discovered that when Ye Bai fought against Lao Weng, Li Qingqing was indeed present.

Furthermore, over the past half year, Ye Bai had no record of purchasing any Martial Technique, and had not used the Martial Arts Training Room even once!

In other words, Ye Bai had not diligently practiced any Martial Techniques; at most, he had only mastered one or two, and those were given to him by Li Qingqing!

Ye Bai's current fame was indeed due to him relying on a woman and luck!

"Ye Bai, can you last five minutes, or six minutes?"

"You're overthinking it. Ye Bai likely has no spear Martial Technique. If he can last three minutes in a spear fight, it would only be because Lao Chen went easy on him."

The other instructors looked at Ye Bai with even more disappointment.

However.

No one noticed that Ning Yuan, off the stage, had eyes that were flickering incessantly...

Ning Qi was also silent.

They were the only two people present, besides Li Qingqing, who had seen Ye Bai fight Ning Feng.

They knew very clearly that Ye Bai had mastered a spear Martial Technique...

"Boom!"

And when the battle was declared to have begun.

Ye Bai probed with his spear, flicking the Dragon Scale Spear in his hand in a simple horizontal sweep.

The instructor surnamed Chen held his spear with one hand and thrust upward violently, attempting to force Ye Bai's long spear to a stop.

The two long spears collided, emitting the sound of refined iron clashing.

"Hiss!"

The instructor surnamed Chen was instantly shocked!
