Chapter 6: Blood Qi Surging, Lu Jing's Changes

Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions; this isn't something we should worry about.

The hall manager casually tossed Lu Jing's file aside, as if the incident had never happened.

Even if Lu Jing's blood qi suddenly surged, it would be only 11 kar, completely beneath Zhang Qingyang's notice.

After coming down from the third floor, Lu Jing began to wander around the sales hall.

Now he has some spare cash and wants to buy something useful to take back for synthesis.

Great Strength Pill: 2200 yuan each.

Qi Supplement Pill: 3750 yuan each.

Blood Generation Pill: 4500 yuan each.

Dragon Tiger Pill (Elementary Dan Medicine): 10,000 yuan each.

These dan medicines are exquisitely packaged, displayed in specially made counters, with prices clearly visible.

Besides dan medicines, there are also some mutated vegetables and meats.

Century Kun Chicken Meat: 2500 yuan per catty.

Mutant Wild Boar King: 3000 yuan per catty.

"The stuff is good, just too expensive."

Lu Jing sighed; of the 1000 colorless crystal blocks rewarded by the system, nearly 700 have already been used.

At this rate, they'll be squandered soon.

"Synthesizing non-graded dan medicines into elementary dan medicines is a way to make money, but it easily draws attention......"

In the Martial Hall, buying and selling dan medicines are recorded; one or two times is fine, but many times will surely bring trouble.

Once strength improves, other ways to make money can be considered, or one can go outside the city to hunt ferocious beasts, thereby also enhancing combat ability.

After making plans, Lu Jing bought 16 qi supplement pills in one go, spending 60,000 yuan.

The reason for choosing qi supplement pills is that their effects are mild, making them very suitable for aiding cultivation.

Just as he was about to leave, his peripheral vision swept over the counter beside him.

"Huh?"

A book appeared in his sight.

"Intention Breathing Method"!

"How come I've never heard of this book before? What is it used for?"

Lu Jing was somewhat surprised; despite having visited the Martial Hall several times before, this was the first time he'd seen this book.

"Hello!"

The staff member nearby stepped forward, smiling, and said: "This is a new breathing method launched by our Martial Hall; it can focus a martial artist's attention and is greatly beneficial to cultivation."

Lu Jing's eyes lit up: "How much does this book cost?"

"As long as you spend over 50,000 yuan within the Martial Hall, you'll receive a copy for free!"

"Give me one; this is my spending list."

Just like that, Lu Jing obtained a free copy of the "Intention Breathing Method".

He planned to go back and make a few copies to try synthesizing, in case he could produce something extraordinary.

After returning home, Lu Jing placed the qi supplement pills bought from the Martial Hall and the "Intention Breathing Method" on the table.

The 16 qi supplement pills were arranged neatly.

The 80,000 yuan earned from selling nourishing qi pills was almost completely spent.

Martial training burns money like this.

"Let's start with the dan medicines!"

Lu Jing hesitated a moment, then ultimately chose to first synthesize dan medicines.

After all, the colorless crystal blocks are scarce; if the "Intention Breathing Method" book were to synthesize something useless, that would be a huge loss.

【Qi Supplement Pill *2 synthesis complete, consuming 15 colorless crystal blocks, obtained Nourishing Qi Pill!】

【Nourishing Qi Pill *2 synthesis complete, consuming 30 colorless crystal blocks, obtained Yang Qi Pill!】

【Yang Qi Pill *2 synthesis complete, consuming 60 colorless crystal blocks, obtained Yang Qi Pill!】

【Synthesis complete, obtained Nine Yang Pill!】

Lu Jing directly synthesized three times, consuming a total of 180 colorless crystal blocks, reaching the system's limit.

【Nine Yang Pill】: Intermediate Dan Medicine, supplements and benefits blood qi, dispels evil and breaks obstacles, prolongs life.

"Good stuff, it can actually extend lifespan!"

Lu Jing didn't hesitate, directly swallowing the Nine Yang Pill in one gulp.

Boom!

A violent surge of pure yang qi burst from Lu Jing's entire body, like a blazing sun rising, heating the whole room to a slight fever.

Parched cells, like withered sponges, greedily absorbed the medicinal potency of the Nine Yang Pill.

The stamina expended from just synthesizing dan medicines was instantly replenished.

Feeling the continuously growing strength within his body, Lu Jing felt somewhat light-headed and elated.

He hurriedly practiced the Star Chronicle Forging Body Technique to absorb the internal medicinal potency with maximum efficiency.

"The Star Chronicle Forging Body Technique" consists of twelve movements; he performed three consecutive rounds.

Each completion allowed him to clearly sense his strength increasing; this timely positive feedback almost made him addicted.

By the end of practice, Lu Jing's body was so fatigued he couldn't even stand.

"13 kar blood qi...... should have it."

"There are still 200 colorless crystals left; no need to synthesize Dan Medicine for now, as the body needs time to absorb the medicinal potency."

Lu Jing put away the remaining Qi Supplement Pills and took out the Willpower Breathing Method.

"What can this produce? Could it synthesize something like the Star Chronicle Forging Body Technique? But now is not the time for synthesis."

Lu Jing currently has no extra stamina; he just wants to lie down and sleep.

"Lu Jing, what's going on with your muscles?"

Inside the school locker room, Zhang Hao was changing into his training uniform together with Lu Jing.

Having taken off his outer jacket, Lu Jing revealed a body with leopard-like, clearly defined muscles and distinct lines.

Although his overall physique had slimmed down a bit, it still gave a strong visual impact.

"He's grown taller again..."

Lu Jing looked at his own angular face in the mirror.

In his eyes, deep as a black pool, starlight flickered, cold and profound.

Zhang Hao, who had finished changing into his training uniform behind him, was startled by Lu Jing's change, inexplicably feeling as if something was pressing on him, making it hard to breathe.

An indescribable sense of oppression!

It was as if a ferocious beast lurked beside him, ready to strike.

This is the consequence of Lu Jing's Blood Qi rising too quickly; he still cannot freely restrain his Blood Qi inward.

Zhang Hao, also a poor student, has only 9 points of Blood Qi; the strength gap makes him feel palpitations.

"Let's go."

After changing into their training uniforms, Lu Jing and Zhang Hao walked into the training field together.

The training field is spacious, its floor made of special material, soft and elastic.

At the center, the students of Class Two had already gathered, just waiting for the two of them.

After Lu Jing and Zhang Hao returned to the ranks, a middle-aged man nearly 1.9 meters tall, with solid block-like muscles, walked over.

"Today's training lesson will be taught by me!"

The muscular man's name is Cheng Tiankuo; he is a teacher at the Second Martial Arts Middle School and also an official Second‑Realm Martial Artist.

It is said he participated in the Fierce Beast War and has rich combat experience.

Cheng Tiankuo casually took off his outer shirt, revealing a ferocious scar on his chest—this is the honor left from his battles with fierce beasts.

"Si Tianyu, come up and be my sparring partner!"

Cheng Tiankuo pointed at a gloomy-looking male student, signaling him to step forward.

"It's Si Tianyu again—this is just special treatment, huh..."

Zhang Hao muttered a complaint from the side.

This male student named Si Tianyu has the highest Blood Qi value in Lu Jing's class, comes from a good family background, and has enough Dan Medicine.

In the last test, his Blood Qi already reached 12.91, and he is very likely to break through 13 points before the martial exam.

Moreover, he is handsome; wearing a black training uniform gives him a somewhat melancholic noble air.

As soon as he stepped forward, he instantly attracted many sideways glances from girls.

"What, are you jealous?" Lu Jing glanced at Zhang Hao, "Or why don't you volunteer to go up? With your scrawny frame, can you even take a punch from Teacher Cheng?"

Zhang Hao's face flushed at the words, and he continued to talk tough: "Tch, it's just because his family conditions are good; if I treated Dan Medicine like food, I'd definitely be stronger than him!"

Lu Jing ignored him and carefully watched the two practicing their fist technique ahead.

"Alright, the demonstration ends here; next I'll call a student up to spar with Si Tianyu."

Cheng Tiankuo patted Si Tianyu's shoulder, very pleased with this student.

Meanwhile, Si Tianyu's expression remained normal; he had long grown accustomed to special treatment.

Cheng Tiankuo asked loudly: "Is there any student willing to volunteer to come up?"

"This is just getting beaten up, who would want to go up..."

"Exactly."

The students shrank back, muttering quietly.

Cheng Tiankuo on stage swept his gaze over; the students below furtively avoided his eyes and shrank back, which left him quite disappointed.

Just as he was about to casually pick someone to send up, he suddenly met an icy gaze.

"Huh?"

Cheng Tiankuo's eyes lit up, and he looked at Lu Jing, who stood straight.

"This student, interesting..."

At this moment, Lu Jing formed a stark contrast with the other students.

Zhang Hao, fearing he might be selected, secretly shifted half a step backward, inadvertently exposing Lu Jing.

Moreover, everyone was avoiding Cheng Tiankuo's gaze, only Lu Jing met it calmly.

"It's you, that student!"

Cheng Tiankuo pointed at Lu Jing: "You come up and practice the fist technique I just demonstrated with Si Tianyu."

"Lu Jing, this unlucky guy..."

"Haha, there's a good show to watch."

Seeing Lu Jing being picked, the nearby students all breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at him with schadenfreude.

Everyone knows Lu Jing's ability; he is the bottom‑ranked existence in the class, and is not on the same level as Si Tianyu at all.
