Chapter 61: Reward

"Hmm?"

Xia Long frowned: "Does Star City High School teach students such dangerous martial arts now?"

The Soul-Searching Dragon Claw Hand is the same as the Extreme Emotion Sword Art, because it is too dangerous, although it is an A-grade martial art, it is not in the high school textbook, obviously it is beyond the syllabus.

"Hehe, this is not what we teach, but Ming classmate's family inheritance..."

Sun Fu replied with a fake smile: "This Liu classmate is really lucky, actually awakened an ability, most suitable for tempering the flesh, at this time, I am afraid he has already promoted to the second realm, right?"

Before the words fell, Liu Wei roared, and all parts of his body were like bowstrings pulling, with unparalleled strength, revealing the cultivation of tendon refining.

He walked like a dragon and stepped like a tiger, opened his hands, and pounced on Ming Yixin, actually attacking with attack!

Crazy Eighteen Hits—Crazy Tiger Style!

Dragon vs Tiger!

The field was surging with wind and clouds, like a dragon fighting a tiger, two figures constantly flying, and the energy was overflowing.

"Sure enough... this Liu classmate has already broken into the Second Martial Realm, this Crazy Eighteen Hits has a taste."

Sun Fu commented to the two students beside him.

"Hmm?"

Seeing this, Xia Long frowned immediately.

The other party was like this, obviously possessing a certain foundation.

"Tendon-refining warrior, nothing more!"

The next moment, Ming Yixin let out a long whistle, the joints of her body exploded inch by inch, and her fingers flicked, actually making a sound like steel.

"Bone refining like steel?"

Seeing this, Xia Long sighed, knowing that Liu Wei had lost.

Sure enough, facing Ming Yixin's claw that superimposed bone energy, Liu Wei took several steps back, and five blood holes appeared on his chest, still flowing blood.

"Actually bone refining, I lost..."

Liu Wei arched his hands, his eyes dim, appearing very dispirited.

'Hmm?'

Seeing this scene, Fang Xing's heart moved.

He had gone out to work with Liu Wei before, and knew that the other party had some small habits and actions.

'Now this appearance... looks a bit like fake fighting, is this keeping a hole card? Preparing to shade who?'

The former grade first was a bit worried.

"Does Ming classmate want to rest?"

Xia Long looked at Ming Yixin.

"No need, please continue." Ming Yixin stared at Fang Xing and Bai Lianyi, her gaze falling more on Bai classmate.

Obviously, for the same sex, she was a bit curious.

"I can't even beat Liu Wei, I'm not your opponent... sorry, Teacher."

Bai Lianyi's face flushed with a trace of shame.

Xia Long stared and looked at Fang Xing.

"Fine fine, I'll go up!"

Fang Xing had nothing to say, he could joke before, but now he naturally had to go on stage directly.

After all, Xia Long took such good care of him before, how could he talk about conditions at this time?

Whoo whoo!

The sky was overcast, and light snow was falling.

"My name is Fang Xing..."

Fang Xing looked up at the sky and yawned: "End this boring farce early..."

"You..."

Ming Yixin was expressionless, her body became dragon-shaped, fast and incomparable.

Suddenly!

Roar roar!

A real dragon seemed to appear in front of her!

——Dragon Realm!

This is not the simulated realm of practicing A-grade martial arts! It is the real, martial will belonging to a Courage and Resolve Realm martial artist!

Although she had practiced A-grade martial arts and possessed a certain mental resistance, for example, in the previous battle with Liu Wei, neither side was affected.

But that was just an ordinary simulated realm.

Before the real martial will, it was as unbearable as a castle made of gravel!

Boom!

Like a dam collapsing, Ming Yixin seemed to return to her childhood, encountering a fierce tiger on the side of the road!

No, that is a hundred times more terrifying than a fierce tiger!

Her body trembled, unable to move.

Fang Xing's figure moved with the wind, came to her, and reached out to brush her hair: "You lost..."

"I lost..."

Ming Yixin replied blankly.

"That is... Dragon Realm, actually truly mastered the Dragon Realm in the second realm?"

Sun Fu crushed his glasses: "Genius! A real martial arts genius!"

He looked at Fang Xing's gaze as if looking at some rare treasure, and said to the two students beside him: "You don't have to go on stage either, anyway, it must be a loss."

"Actually..."

Seeing this scene, Liu Wei clenched his fists secretly.

"Not bad for being the grade first, so powerful!"

Beside him, Bai Lianyi's eyes were almost popping out with little stars.

Practicing martial will means what?

It means that the path of a martial artist has no bottleneck at all!

Such a person, as long as he survives military service, will at least be able to mix into a status like Gu Yun's father when he comes

"You brat!"

Xia Long didn't say much, just patted Fang Xing on the shoulder.

Martial realms might still be reached by piling up resources, but martial will—there truly were no resources on Chick Star that could enable students to awaken their martial will!

This could only mean that this student of his was becoming more and more outstanding!

Thinking back to the other's performance during his freshman year, Xia Long couldn't help but marvel.

At the time, he only felt that the other was making constant progress, with every step taken very steadily.

Now, not only was it steady, but more importantly, the strides were quite large!

"You, come with me!"

Xia Long grabbed Fang Xing, his figure moved, and he actually seemed to float as he flew into a classroom.

"Eh? Teacher, you can actually fly?"

Fang Xing was taken aback.

"The Martial Way's External Landscape is the spirit influencing matter. I'm not flying; I'm just using the power of my own External Landscape to build leverage points in mid-air. You could consider it a set of flying footwork!"

Xia Long explained earnestly: "To truly fly with the physical body, one still needs a Martial Jin Dan..."

'Your Martial Way is no good, Teacher. At least as far as I know, Foundation Establishment grand cultivators can already float with their physical bodies...'

Fang Xing muttered in his heart, then asked another question: "Then, Teacher, you brought me here—what are you planning to do?"

"Nothing much, just felt your martial progress is a bit fast... Judging by your body's reaction just now, you've also refined your bones, right?"

Xia Long asked: "Do you feel any discomfort anywhere? Do you want a physical check-up? What we martial artists fear most is having hidden injuries in our bodies while laying the foundation without knowing it. By the time we need to condense a Flawless Jin Dan and discover them, we'll have to put in a thousand times the bitter effort to make up for it..."

He spoke with deep feeling, as if he had experienced it personally.

"I'm fine, but Teacher, you..."

Fang Xing looked at Xia Long. This teacher was stronger than an ox; he shouldn't be this frail, right?

"There's nothing to hide about this. When I was young, I was ignorant and left behind hidden injuries, making it quite difficult to condense a Jin Dan. Otherwise, I wouldn't still be here working as a teacher... If I had been more careful back then, I would at least be a principal by now."

Xia Long was quite sentimental.

"With the Federation's current medical technology, can't hidden injuries from one's youth be repaired?" Fang Xing's expression was solemn.

For the current Federation, even limb regeneration wasn't considered a complex surgery.

"... It's an old ailment left behind on the battlefield, and it's not just in the physique..."

Xia Long seemed to recall something, and a temperament like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood suddenly emerged from him.

Fang Xing sensibly didn't ask further, only saying: "I wonder if there's anything I can do to help you, Teacher?"

"You actually can help me. My accumulated merits are about enough now, but I'm still missing one achievement... If you can get into a super-first-class university, then I'll have enough qualifications to apply for a 'Source Sea-level Convalescent Chamber Full-Body Repair' once..." Xia Long seemed to be joking.

In his mind, Fang Xing getting into a university was now a sure thing, but a first-class university would still require effort.

As for super-first-class?

That was still a bit uncertain!

After all, the Federation was so vast, with numerous star systems and tens of millions of educational planets, while there were only a handful of super-first-class universities. Every year, the competition was genius against genius!

Ordinary geniuses didn't even have the qualifications to compete.

"A super-first-class university? I understand. I actually wanted to buy a house on Blue Star anyway..."

Fang Xing revealed a faint smile.

"Fine, fine, fine. I'm counting on you."

Xia Long grinned: "Enough small talk. You've won glory for the school this time; what reward do you want?"

"I fought for the school's honor; why would I need a reward?" Fang Xing looked righteous and awe-inspiring.

"If you want the horse to run, you naturally have to give the horse grass to eat..." Xia Long smiled: "Besides... are you planning to save money for Lu Guangming? With his Martial Jin Dan, would he care about this little bit of yours?"

"That is indeed true..."

Fang Xing nodded and began to think seriously about what he needed.

After a long while, he opened his mouth to say: "I have quite a lot of insight into the Great Dragon Stake and the Crouching Tiger Stake, and my progress is extremely fast... If this continues, I'm afraid I can attempt to break through to Unpolished Jade during the winter break..."

"Hm? Actually that fast? However, the Dragon-Tiger Stake is the foundation of the Martial Way. Since you've practiced the Great Dragon Stake to the fourth stage, it will indeed accelerate your cultivation speed."

On this point, Xia Long did not deny it: "However, are you viewing the bottleneck too simply? Even if you have practiced Jade Skin, Profound Flesh, Willow Tendons, and Steel Bones... it's not as if you can just break through to Unpolished Jade whenever you want. This kind of realm bottleneck might trap a martial artist for a lifetime; only through bloody battles can one break through..."

'That's because I have medicine... Of course, there's no need to mention that.'

Fang Xing muttered in his heart: "Then does the school have resources to help me break through to Unpolished Jade?"

"No, don't even think about that."

Xia Long shook his head: "The Federation's control over breakthrough resources on educational planets is very strict, precisely because they want to screen out true geniuses..."

"Alright then. After I break through to Unpolished Jade, I should be able to learn new martial arts. If the school insists on a reward, I'd like to learn them in advance to facilitate self-study during the winter break."

Fang Xing stated his plan.

He didn't want to face the lesson of the summer break a second time.

He had to get the martial art techniques first to avoid being caught off guard later.

"An Unpolished Jade realm martial artist has long, continuous breath, like unpolished jade, constantly being polished..." Xia Long's expression was serious: "Theoretically speaking, one Rank A martial art is enough for you to use all the way to the Courage and Resolve Realm. However, you seem insatiably greedy. What do you want to learn?"

"Let's go with one for tempering the physique. As martial artists, only when our own physique is strong do we have a future..."

Fang Xing sighed with emotion.

Being able to stand means being able to output damage—this is the truth!
