Chapter 48

"In the Blue Star Federation, although the Martial Way is regarded as the cannon fodder system, the future is actually quite bright... It is also a path of human evolution. If you can become a Martial Way Jin Dan, you would be a big shot on Chick Star."

Xia Long seemed to say casually: "Martial Way Jin Dan experts, even without any genetic surgery, can live for four or five hundred years... As for higher, those Martial Saints and Martial Gods of our Blue Star Federation only die in battle; none have died of old age!"

"Martial Way Jin Dan, four or five hundred years?"

Fang Xing froze.

Having been in Qinglin Market for many years, he had also heard that above the Foundation Establishment Stage was the ancestor of the Jin Dan Stage.

Such an existence, there is one in the Qingxuan Sect, said to have lived for more than four hundred years!

And it seems that within the Jin Dan Stage, there are divisions like False Core, True Core, and Jin Dan.

"The Immortal Jin Dan should be different from the Martial Way Jin Dan, right?"

"But it sounds somewhat similar."

One confusion after another emerged in Fang Xing's heart: "I just don't know what the situation would be if a Martial Way Jin Dan expert faced a Jin Dan ancestor from the Cultivation World?"

"So you understand? If you want to impact the Martial Way Jin Dan in the future, the Great Dragon Stake and the Tiger-Subduing Stake are top priorities. You must rush to the fourth stage or above. I see you have great talent for the Great Dragon Stake; you cannot miss it..."

Xia Long's voice was extremely solemn.

Although even achieving the Dragon-Tiger Realm is only the most basic condition for impacting the 'Dragon-Tiger Jin Dan', there are still many hurdles ahead.

But if one cannot even achieve the 'Dragon-Tiger Realm', there is no need to mention the Dragon-Tiger Jin Dan.

Therefore, even if the current Fang Xing only looks like he has a glimmer of hope, he would solemnly point it out.

"Thank you, Teacher. I wonder what realm you are in?"

Fang Xing was somewhat curious.

"Me?"

Xia Long smiled slightly, and silver-white electric arcs suddenly emerged all over his body.

Swish!

Bolts of lightning roamed, making the surroundings feel like falling into a thunder and lightning purgatory!

Fang Xing suddenly felt as if his whole body was being slightly electrocuted, his hair standing up one by one.

In order to act more conveniently in ancient times, he had already intentionally started growing his hair, and the result was even more comical, turning into a hedgehog head.

"Domain prototype... External Landscape Realm!"

Fang Xing understood: "No wonder..."

Professionals have a certain status in the Federation, and the Fourth Realm of the Martial Way can be certified as a 'professional'.

Xia Long is actually a Fifth Realm expert; no wonder he usually looks arrogant, and can go to another planet for vacation during the summer vacation!

"Inner realm manifested, spirit influencing matter, can be called 'External Landscape'!"

Xia Long smiled slightly and looked at his watch: "You haven't said which A-rank martial art you are preparing to practice. The school textbooks only have three choices: Ghost-God Blade, Crazy Eighteen Strikes, and Mad Demon Staff Technique... From your attainment in the Military Fist Twelve Styles, I suggest choosing the Crazy Eighteen Strikes. These two martial arts are of the same lineage, both belonging to the 'Military Killing Fist' series. In the future, there will be more profound martial arts if you join the army, which can be seamlessly connected."

"I choose the 'Ghost-God Blade'!" Fang Xing said his choice in a deep voice.

"Hmm? Didn't you hear me?"

Xia Long frowned, and a sense of oppression followed.

Within the domain prototype, even Courage and Resolve Realm warriors would be suppressed. Even though Xia Long had restrained himself, Fang Xing still felt somewhat breathless, even unconsciously wanting to obey the other party.

'Is this the domain prototype? Sure enough, it's overbearing!'

His heart stirred, but he still insisted on speaking: "I choose the Ghost-God Blade!"

"Reason?" Xia Long revealed a look of confusion.

"Because I have already mastered the Ghost-God Blade." Fang Xing felt the pressure disappear and immediately let out a long breath.

"What?"

Xia Long widened his eyes, simply unbelievable.

"Because of working before, I met Gu Yun and received some guidance, and then I went to the black market to observe black-fist fighting, speculating on the 'Ghost-God Blade' realm many times... Maybe I have more talent for this martial art, and the meditation and hypnosis also got started quickly, so I successfully entered the gate... If you don't believe me, I'll show you a couple of moves."

Fang Xing gave his explanation, so that even if it was discovered later that he had been to the black market, he could openly explain it was to observe the Ghost-God Blade!

"Show me!"

Xia Long's expression was extremely serious. His body didn't move, but a ghost-head broadsword automatically flew down from the wall and fell into Fang Xing's hand.

Blade in hand, Fang Xing's expression suddenly changed, and a layer of blade light erupted from the blade body!

"Alright, no need to show me. You kid... you kid..."

Xia Long pointed at Fang Xing, but the smile on the corner of his mouth grew wider and wider, finally turning into wild laughter: "Hahaha... truly a huge surprise for old Xia. In the 'Hundred Star Joint Exam' at the end of the second year of high school, you must make those students from Sanye High School and Phoenix High School look good, and then win a good ranking for our Chick Star!"

"Yes, Teacher!"

Fang Xing promised solemnly. The better his ranking, the more benefits Xia Long should be able to obtain.

In this way, it could be considered repaying the previous investment.

"Since you have already mastered the 'Ghost-God Blade', today we will mainly learn the 'Tiger-Subduing Stake'!"

Xia Long seemed to re-recognize Fang Xing, and then adjusted the teaching plan.

At this time, accompanied by him pressing a button, a 3D projection of a huge black tiger suddenly appeared in the classroom.

Although knowing it was a projection, the black tiger's demeanor, pace... and even its aura seemed to leak out, naturally carrying tiger prestige, making people shudder.

"The Tiger-Subduing Stake requires observing the tiger shape, and then communicating with the spirit..."

Xia Long began to explain the Tiger-Subduing Stake: "The stake is dead but the spirit is alive; only when you practice the tiger shape into your bones can you truly achieve it... This projection of the 'Black Nightmare Tiger' is specially made and can almost perfectly simulate the demeanor of that tiger beast back then!"

"Originally, the Tiger-Subduing Stake was just an ordinary blood-stake method on Blue Star, but after entering the interstellar era, we discovered many tiger beasts on other planets, among which the 'Black Nightmare Tiger' was judged to be the most suitable interstellar creature for visualization! Those ancient warriors were lucky to leave one or two meditation diagrams; how could they compare to such an immersive experience... In addition, you must remember that this kind of special projection is only most regular in school; other videos on the internet are not necessarily accurate and may even be harmful, so if you want to observe, you must do it here!"

After speaking, Xia Long directly formed claws with both hands and lunged forward.

Roar!

Fang Xing instantly felt a fierce tiger pouncing toward him.

It was as if Xia Long was not a human, but a tiger demon transformed!

"I'll follow and learn..."

He got on all fours and began to imitate Xia Long's movements, observing the Black Nightmare Tiger even more, firmly remembering the other party's demeanor in his heart.

The Tiger-Subduing Stake is the same as the Great Dragon Stake, just a C-rank martial art, and getting started is not very difficult.

Therefore, by the time school was over, Fang Xing glanced at the attribute bar and saw that it had lit up its blood bar very calmly:

【Tiger-Subduing Stake: 1/100 (Entry)】

"With the foundation of the Great Dragon Stake, the progress of the Tiger-Subduing Stake in the early stage should be very fast... Not to mention, I have other resources."

If nothing else, there are many tiger demons around Qinglin Market; Fang Xing has even eaten tiger demon meat, and he still has the tiger bones sent by that dead ghost Meng Yi at home!

"Demon tiger bones, used to soak in wine, the effect should be quite good... Besides that, I can also go to the Green Pill Workshop to see if there are any bone-quenching spiritual medicines like 'Tiger Bone Pill'..."

"When it comes to tiger beasts, Blue Star seems to be inferior to another world... If I can find a descendant containing a trace of the bloodline of a Rank 3 tiger demon like the 'Dragon Blood Pill' and refine it into a special pill, it will obviously be quite beneficial for comprehending the 'Tiger Realm'!"

"The Dragon-Tiger Realm, I will definitely be able to get it; that is the Jin Dan seed, and it might even give extra points for college entrance exams!"

"Sure enough, our Blue Star Martial Way is meant to blast the Immortal Way of another world!"

Fang Xing has always firmly believed in the principle that one's butt and interests must be consistent.

Now that he has no spiritual roots and cannot practice immortality, he is a firm Martial Way faction!

As for future matters? Let's talk about it later!

If the benefits are sufficient, then wipe your face and say "true fragrance" without losing a piece of meat.

A small boat turning is just flexible!

Walking out of the school gate, on the road along the river embankment, Fang Xing looked at himself in the reflection of the river water and couldn't help but silently give himself a like.

Just at this time, Liu Wei also walked out. The two met, just nodded calmly, and went their separate ways.

The setting sun went down, and the two shadows were stretched infinitely.

Happy Home Residential Quarter.

"Rare to have school start, rest for one night first."

Fang Xing ordered takeout for himself, then put on holographic glasses and began to indulge in games.

When he was eating takeout, he remembered something and sent a congratulatory text message to Gu Yun.

After all, it was her first day of high school today; if Xia Long hadn't mentioned it before, he would have almost forgotten about it.

After Fang Xing finished eating, Gu Yun's reply also came.

"Hmm? Actually called over? Connect it!"

Fang Xing put on holographic glasses, and a tea room appeared before his eyes.

Gu Yun was wearing a school uniform, with two bun hairstyles, and was slowly making tea.

Seeing Fang Xing enter, there was no expression on her face, just nodding: "Thank you, Senior!"

"Hmm, as a freshman, you can ask me if you don't understand anything. I'm quite familiar with Yucai High School. I know exactly which auntie's nutrient meal in the cafeteria tastes the best... although none of them are very good."

Fang Xing sat down and drank a sip of tea.

This virtual tea actually had a kind of fragrance.

"I just... Grade 2 suddenly produced several top students, the kind that can take the university exam..." Gu Yun went straight to the point: "Among them... is you?"

"Didn't expect the news to spread so fast?" Fang Xing was slightly surprised.

"Principal Uncle has racked his brains for the college entrance rate." Gu Yun looked at Fang Xing, a trace of fighting spirit in her eyes: "It seems you've improved a lot this summer vacation. Just right... I also want to try, let's make an appointment to fight another day!"

"Fine, fine, fine..."

Fang Xing waved his hand, somewhat helpless; he knew that Gu Yun looking for him had serious business.

"Besides that, I also applied for an off-campus internship opportunity with Principal Uncle. If your strength satisfies me, I can recommend you to join..."

Gu Yun continued to talk about a matter, making Fang Xing raise his eyebrows: "Oh? Is this the stake for the martial arts challenge?"

"If you think it is, then it can be!"
