Chapter 75

75. Chapter 75: The Fisherman (In honor of Alliance Leader Zui Ai Xiao Qin)

High-grade cave dwelling.

Fang Xing tossed a storage bag in his hand, feeling quite emotional inside: "I didn't expect that the things I sold would return to my side..."

There was no need to think to know that the few high-grade magical artifacts he had sold were likely all in Old Ghost Long's storage bag.

"Going out to watch a show this time, I earned a lot without making a move... This is what is called a skilled warrior having no glorious achievements."

He looked at a spiritual contract in his hand again, his smile widening.

This Rank 2 spiritual contract was made of unknown material, feeling like leather to the touch, the size of an ordinary page, with various strange and complex patterns around it.

And in the center was the content written by Su Ye with her own essence blood, including the subsequent 'compensation' of twenty-five bottles of 'Boiling Blood Liquid' to him, the promise to take him out of the Green Forest Market, and never to retaliate, etc...

At the very bottom were the signatures of Su Ye and the intermediary, Han Qingyun.

More importantly, Fang Xing himself didn't sign! This was a contract that unilaterally restricted Su Ye!

Fang Xing's desire to leave the Green Forest Market was not actually urgent.

Pulling Han Qingyun into it was just to give Han Qingyun and Feiyue a chance to leave the market.

He had always been good to his own people.

And Su Ye had calculated against him before; if he had really agreed to kill the Azure Rock Bull, he would definitely have had to turn against the three Qi Condensation perfection cultivators present, which was very dangerous.

Therefore, Fang Xing felt no embarrassment at all for taking advantage of others' precarious position; this was the compensation Su Ye should give!

"Having been out for so long, I'm a bit hungry again..."

Fang Xing set up a grill and placed slices of beef on it for a barbecue.

This beef came from the Azure Rock Bull. Although most of the flesh had to be given to Su Ye for pill refining, he was greedy, so he cut off a cow leg first, preparing to eat it himself.

With the Azure Rock Bull's seven or eight-meter-tall body, one front leg was enough for him to eat for a long time.

The flesh of a Rank 2 demonic beast naturally had extraordinary effects, and even the taste was very satisfying.

Coupled with spices from the Blue Star Federation, it went without saying.

Fang Xing even had to use talismans to hide the smell in the courtyard, just barely avoiding attracting all the demonic beasts nearby!

He picked up a skewer of grilled beef, seeing the fist-sized beef strung on an iron skewer, covered in spices, with drops of grease dripping down.

"Good, eating meat like this is satisfying..."

Such a rough method, yet it tasted particularly delicate in the mouth, and this beef was very thick and hard; if he weren't a body-refining cultivator, he probably wouldn't have such good teeth.

Fang Xing's appetite was originally huge, but after eating one skewer of beef, he actually felt almost full.

Not only that, he also noticed his blood Qi surging throughout his body, as if he were taking body-refining pills, so he couldn't wait to set up the Tiger-Subduing Stance to practice.

Half an hour later.

【Tiger-Subduing Stance: 80/200 (Proficient)】

Looking at the Tiger-Subduing Stance, which had increased by one point of proficiency, Fang Xing's face was full of joy: "The effect of this Rank 2 demonic beast meat is actually so good? Not only that, it is pure, natural, and pollution-free, with absolutely no pill poison..."

"Plus the Boiling Blood Liquid still being refined, Rank 2 demonic beasts are indeed treasures from head to toe! It's a pity... they are very hard to kill."

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the new semester to start.

Chick Star.

Happy Home Community.

Fang Xing stood up and looked at himself in the mirror.

In the mirror was a young man with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, his skin presenting a healthy yellow-jade color. He had grown taller by several inches, and his body lines were smooth and perfect, with every inch seeming to contain terrifying immense strength.

"Dragon-Long Xiang Gong, First Layer, complete!"

He reached out, and the blood-refined magical artifact, Tiger Sha Saber, landed in his palm.

A tiger's roar seemed to come from the void, and a blade light hacked heavily onto his shoulder, only to collapse with a bang!

During this period, he lived in a cave dwelling with high-grade spiritual energy, eating spiritual rice and Rank 2 demonic beast meat every day, and his martial arts progress could be described as advancing by leaps and bounds.

After Su Ye delivered the twenty-five bottles of 'Boiling Blood Liquid' as promised, the proficiency of the Dragon-Long Xiang Gong soared like a rocket.

Last night, he just broke through the first layer of entry and entered the 'Proficient' rank!

At this level of 'Dragon-Long Xiang Gong', the defense of the 'Dragon Scale Elephant Armor' alone was not afraid of ordinary low-grade magical artifacts.

"Looking at it this way, if I reach the 'Proficient' rank, medium-grade magical artifacts can be ignored... Once I reach the 'Master' level, all magical artifacts can be ignored, and only the spiritual artifact attacks of Foundation Establishment cultivators can break the defense. Isn't this a Rank 2 body cultivator?"

Thinking of this, Fang Xing felt a bit terrified.

The 'Dragon-Long Xiang Gong' is only an A-grade martial art, and the threshold for practice is the Tendon and Bone Realm, equivalent to an otherworldly postnatal martial artist, not even a cultivator!

"This means that a mortal has Rank 2 body refining... In the cultivation world, he is a monster, but in the Blue Star Federation, he can only be considered a small genius..."

"Not to mention, above the Master rank of the 'Dragon-Long Xiang Gong', there should be another realm..."

"Even, I have now reached the Unpolished Jade Realm and can barely enter the S-grade martial art. If I learn the 'Great Jin Gang Prajna Divine Power', how majestic would that be?"

This is the advantage of Blue Star martial arts!

Even at the same realm, the development of various martial arts allows Blue Star martial artists to possess power far exceeding that of otherworldly martial artists!

Regardless of defense, speed, or strength... they all transcend in every aspect, worthy of being called hexagonal warriors!

"Dragon-Long Xiang Gong proficient, my strength has increased quite a bit..."

A hint of joy appeared on Fang Xing's face.

His original defense was, in the outermost layer, cultivation world talismans, in the middle was a nano-protective suit, inside was a layer of Dragon Scale Elephant Armor, and finally his own physique—Jade Skin, Mysterious Flesh, Willow Tendons, Steel Bones!

Previously, the four-fold superposition was enough to withstand a few attacks from high-grade magical artifacts, allowing him to slaughter wantonly amidst the bombardment of a group of early and mid-stage Qi Condensation cultivators.

And now, after the Dragon-Long Xiang Gong was upgraded, it was probably enough to withstand more than a dozen attacks from high-grade magical artifacts.

Even if he encountered several late-stage or even perfection Qi Condensation cultivators besieging him, he could persist for a while.

This amount of time was enough for a martial artist to kill the enemy multiple times. If he waited until the Dragon-Long Xiang Gong ascended to the Proficient rank, he would almost be invincible in Qi Condensation, and no matter how many perfection Qi Condensation cultivators came, they would all be sending themselves to death.

If he ascended to the Master rank, he would be a Rank 2 body-refining cultivator and could try to exchange a few blows with a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"There is still plenty of 'Boiling Blood Liquid', and happy days are beckoning in the future..."

Fang Xing sighed with emotion and began to silently process his communications.

On his normal phone, there were only ordinary greetings from classmates. He looked specifically and found that there were none from Gu Yun.

However, his fishing plan should have already succeeded. It seems that after school starts, he should ask around indirectly and not be too deliberate.

On the other hand, another black market communicator was quite interesting.

"Zhang Jiarui from the Blood Cage Fighting Arena again?"

He looked and found that the previous few were text messages.

From 【Handsome, lonely? Want to watch a performance that makes your blood boil?】

To 【Coach Ping says she misses you very much... Her 'Extreme Emotion Sword' still has a few ultimate moves...】

These were still relatively normal.

But the later ones were a bit wrong.

【Recently, the dogs from the Prevention and Control Bureau are sweeping the black market again, so boring...】

【There are some very interesting things in the black market, handsome, do you want to see them?】

【I'm going to be transferred... The black market here is too chaotic...】

"Transferred? I wonder where this person will go?"

Fang Xing thought for a moment and couldn't help but laugh. Zhang Jiarui clearly had a high status in the Blood Cage Fighting Arena, so no matter where she was transferred, he didn't need to worry.

What's more, being able to perceive that the black market was deep now and then being transferred away at the first opportunity was something many people couldn't ask for.

'Is this showing off? It must be showing off, right?'

Fang Xing thought about it and decided not to reply.

Anyway, his body-refining pills had already been settled, so he didn't need to go to the black market in the near future, so he would reduce entanglement to avoid the possibility of exposure.

"The most important thing now is school starting tomorrow. If I expose the Unpolished Jade realm, I can ask to learn the 'Great Jin Gang Prajna Divine Power'... This is an S-grade martial art that is one rank higher than A-grade martial arts, and it has follow-ups and can perfectly match the Dragon-Long Xiang Gong!"

"If I can get this S-grade martial art to entry, or even liver it to a high realm, maybe I can explode and kill a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator in the Unpolished Jade realm!"

While making plans, he used a rice cooker to boil a pot of spiritual rice porridge for breakfast.

After finishing it all, he went out leisurely.

The severe cold of early spring still surrounded the river embankment, and there were few pedestrians on the street along the river.

Fang Xing was absent-minded, his attention focused on the attribute panel:

【Name: Fang Xing】

"The progress of one winter vacation is simply astonishing! This is all thanks to the high-grade spiritual energy cave dwelling, Rank 2 demonic beast meat, and the Boiling Blood Liquid..."

"Looking at it this way, by the end of this semester, before the Hundred Star Joint Examination, I will definitely be able to achieve the Fourth Realm!"

Martial Way Fourth Realm—Courage and Resolve Realm!

It is the martial artist who opens the Mud Pill Palace, awakens spiritual alien power, and can do what others cannot. Only when a martial artist reaches this step are they considered to have entered the hall, can be called a 'Martial Artist', can undergo professional certification, and raise their citizen level!

Breaking through to the Martial Way Fourth Realm in high school makes one a genius among geniuses!

Maybe they can be recommended to a first-class university.

Ordinary universities, second-rate universities, first-class universities... each level of university is completely different, and the resources that can be enjoyed are incomparable.

But Fang Xing's goal now is naturally a super-first-class university!

"First choice—Blue Star University, just in time, I still want to buy a house there..."

Although he felt that buying a house was quite a pit, it was the last wish of his predecessor. Fang Xing would definitely do it if he could, to end the obsession.

Just as he was pondering, a royal sister walking her dog came over from the opposite side: "Little Brother Fang..."

"Captain Jing Xia..."

Fang Xing greeted politely: "How was your winter vacation?"

"Not so good..."

Jing Xia's face was full of melancholy: "I don't know which bastard got a batch of extraterrestrial products and threw them in the black market, making the higher-ups very angry, and I'm even angrier!"
