Chapter 229: Breaking Through! Three Lessons Opened at Once

January 7th.

The sixth day of Li Fei arriving at Martial Arts University.

That morning, he went to attend Mo Yizhou's toxicology class as usual.

In the afternoon, he walked into another classroom.

The students in the classroom all became expectant after seeing him.

The fact that Li Fei had been continuously passing course assessments and sweeping up credits these past few days had already spread throughout the entire Martial Arts University.

In the previous few days, Li Fei had already passed the assessments for five courses: Basic Blade Techniques, Martial Artist Combat, Detailed Explanation of Metal-Attribute Implant Control, Detailed Explanation of Defensive Extraordinary Abilities (Martial Artist), and Detailed Explanation of Sensory Extraordinary Abilities (Martial Artist).

These five courses brought Li Fei a total of 62 credits!

Added to the 30 credits from the aptitude test, his total credits reached as high as 92, already topping the credit leaderboard.

This was the fastest freshman to ever top the credit leaderboard in the history of Martial Arts University!

Back then, Wang Fengqing also only topped the credit leaderboard at the end of her first year.

Harvesting 62 credits in a few days was an unimaginable score for others, but for Li Fei, this score was still a bit short of his goal.

So today, Li Fei intended to challenge the assessment for one more course.

"You want to apply for my course assessment?"

In the classroom, the lecturer responsible for the instruction looked at Li Fei with some surprise.

His name was Lu Ming, a first-level lecturer, and the course he taught was called "Tracking and Anti-Tracking."

Martial Arts University taught all sorts of courses; there were those like Mo Yizhou who taught toxicology, and naturally, there were those like Lu Ming who taught tracking techniques.

This course was actually very practical, especially for students who planned to develop their careers in the Stop-Conflict Institute in the future.

The Stop-Conflict Institute often faced situations where they needed to track down criminals, so mastering a tracking technique was very necessary.

Because of this reason, there were quite a few students sitting in the classroom.

"Yes, this student would like to apply for the assessment."

Li Fei bowed to Lu Ming.

Lu Ming smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be skilled in this as well. Then come with me."

After speaking, he turned his head to look at the other students: "Everyone, come along and observe as well."

As the words fell, the group of students let out cheers.

This tracking course was divided into indoor and outdoor sections.

The indoor section taught theoretical knowledge, while the outdoor section was for practical drills.

For the students, they naturally preferred the outdoor course, not to mention that there was now a spectacle to watch.

Soon, the group followed Lu Ming toward the back mountain of the academy.

There was a forest, lakes, volcanoes, and even glaciers there.

This was the place Martial Arts University used to raise exotic beasts.

Lu Ming brought everyone to the edge of a jungle.

He turned to look at Li Fei: "My course assessment is divided into two parts: one is tracking, and one is anti-tracking. Which one do you want to test first?"

Li Fei: "Let's do tracking first."

Lu Ming nodded: "Give me your student ID."

Li Fei did as told and handed his student ID to the other party.

"I will enter the jungle first and leave behind some traces, and I will hide your student ID in a certain place. What you need to do is enter the jungle and find your student ID within half an hour."

Lu Ming held up the student ID in his hand and said to Li Fei.

"Okay."

Li Fei nodded.

So Lu Ming turned and walked into the jungle, soon disappearing from everyone's view.

A few minutes later, he walked back out, no longer holding the student ID in his hand.

He took out a pocket watch to check the time, looked up, and said to Li Fei:

"You may begin."

So Li Fei stepped forward and walked into the jungle.

"Let's go, everyone, let's observe together."

Lu Ming suddenly said to the rest of the students.

There were over twenty students present; with so many people entering together, it was very easy to destroy the traces Lu Ming had just left, and they would also leave behind many useless traces, which caused the difficulty of the assessment to increase greatly.

"Let's go!"

The students rushed into the jungle one after another, wanting to see how Li Fei, this peerless genius, would pass the assessment.

Li Fei walked through the jungle with a leisurely stroll.

Unlike what the others imagined, he did not look around carefully for traces in the jungle, but instead walked directly toward a certain direction with great certainty.

Lu Ming showed a look of surprise, because the direction Li Fei chose was correct.

"Is it relying on some kind of extraordinary ability?"

Lu Ming had a guess in his heart.

Some extraordinary abilities were naturally suited for tracking, such as an extraordinary sense of smell that could allow humans to possess a keener sense of smell than dogs, or perhaps some profound sensory abilities.

Li Fei's tracking techniques were actually all self-taught; if he only relied on technique, he certainly wouldn't have the confidence to pass Lu Ming's assessment.

But his tracking ability was mainly built upon the extraordinary ability of "Danger Perception."

Under Hao Yi's training, this extraordinary ability of his had long since not been limited to just sensing danger, but was constantly developing in the direction of "premonition," making him as if he possessed a "mind's eye."

After breaking through to the Qi Transformation Realm, Li Fei's "Danger Perception" became even more acute, able to sense the aura left behind by strong individuals.

This aura was related to innate Qi and force, so the stronger a person's strength, the easier it was for Li Fei to sense them.

Lu Ming was a first-level lecturer and a force-training martial artist in the late stage of Qi Transformation; his strength was sufficiently strong, and he hadn't left the jungle for long, so the aura he left behind had not yet dissipated. Therefore, Li Fei could follow the aura he had left behind all the way through "Danger Perception."

If Lu Ming's strength were weaker, or if the interval of time were longer, Li Fei would have no way to track him in this manner.

Soon, Li Fei found the place where Lu Ming had last stopped.

He began to search carefully in the vicinity and finally succeeded in finding his student ID in a pile of withered grass.

"Wow—"

The students who had followed along all let out exclamations upon seeing this, then clapped one after another with looks of admiration.

"You used your Danger Perception?"

Lu Ming walked to Li Fei and asked.

Li Fei nodded.

"I didn't expect your development of Danger Perception to have reached such a level. Then you don't need to take the subsequent anti-tracking assessment; I will directly announce that you have passed."

Lu Ming said with a smile.

Being able to use the "Danger Perception" ability to track the aura he left behind all the way—such an ability, if used for anti-tracking, would only be stronger and more acute!

So Lu Ming felt there was no need to test Li Fei's anti-tracking anymore and directly announced that he had passed the assessment for this course.

"Many thanks, teacher."

Li Fei bowed to Lu Ming.

"No need to thank me; it is all your own skill."

Lu Ming took the student ID from Li Fei and took out a pen to record on it.

Soon, Li Fei had obtained 12 credits!

At this point, the credits in his hand had reached 83, enough for him to exchange for the implants he wanted.

After obtaining the credits, Li Fei went directly to the mission hall, went up to the second floor, and arrived at the same window as before:

"Hello, my credits are now enough; I am applying to execute my custom service."

As he spoke, he handed his student ID and the deposit receipt from the Taijia Silver Bank that he had prepared long ago to the other party.

This deposit receipt totaled 12, 00 yuan, and one could directly withdraw the money by presenting the receipt.

"Please wait a moment."

The staff member said to Li Fei in a respectful tone.

He quickly finished verifying:

"Hello, I have recorded it here. The three types of implants you want will be delivered within a week, and at that time, someone will deliver them directly to your dormitory."

"Okay."

A smile appeared on Li Fei's face.

In this way, he could finally cultivate sorcery!

Martial Arts University did not have courses specifically for teaching sorcery; not just Martial Arts University, the other eleven universities didn't either.

If one truly had the talent for cultivating sorcery and wanted to cultivate it, the twelve universities would directly send the person to the local Justice Court.

The Justice Court was the only institution in the Great Lan Dynasty that cultivated sorcery.

Li Fei still wanted to cultivate the martial path well at Martial Arts University, so his sorcery cultivation could only rely on himself.

Fortunately, he already had the cultivation method of the Nightmare Sect and possessed a supreme treasure like the Dream-Like Order; he was just waiting for the 【Phantom Leaf】 implant to arrive, and he could step onto the path of sorcery.

After leaving the mission hall, Li Fei first returned to his dormitory.

More than two hours later, he came out of the dormitory and went directly to the arena.

"Hello, I've come to re-register."

Li Fei arrived at the registration desk of the arena and handed over his student ID.

"What do you want to register?"

The staff member at the registration desk already recognized Li Fei and looked at him with some curiosity.

"Change my realm. I am now a Qi Transformation stage Martial Master. Please arrange an opponent of the same realm for me."

Li Fei said calmly.

He had now successfully exchanged for the implant he wanted, so there was no need to continue pretending to be a Martial Artist. Therefore, he wanted to tell the outside world that he had successfully broken through and was now a Qi Transformation stage Martial Master!

Actually, he could have continued to pretend to be a Martial Artist until the end of January, which would have allowed him to reach the top of the Martial Artist combat power rankings and obtain a reward of 20 credits.

But Li Fei felt there was no need for that.

Even if he wanted to obtain credit rewards, he should aim for the Martial Master combat power ranking rewards!

"Hello?"

Li Fei looked at the stunned staff member and called out again.

"Ah? Okay, okay, okay, I will register you right away!"

The staff member had already started using honorifics and hurriedly registered Li Fei.

Martial Artists might not be that valuable yet, but Martial Masters could be considered the backbone of strength anywhere!

After the registration was completed, Li Fei received a new number tag.

This time he did not sign a life-and-death waiver, because the Martial University did not allow life-and-death duels between students at the Martial Master level, not even with an instructor watching on the sidelines.

After paying the 20-yuan registration fee, Li Fei walked into the preparation area specifically prepared for Martial Masters.

"Li Fei?!"

When he walked into the preparation area, exclamations immediately rang out inside.

Many people inside recognized Li Fei.

Li Fei nodded to everyone and then found an empty seat to sit down.

The preparation area was suddenly filled with discussion.

Soon, Li Fei's number tag was called, and he welcomed his first battle at the Martial Master level in the arena.

The news spread quickly, and people kept running over to watch the battle.

After walking into the martial arts arena, Li Fei was first taken into a locker room, where someone brought him a Level 3 protective suit to change into.

A Level 3 protective suit was already capable of blocking handgun bullets at close range!

Wearing such a full set of protective gear, while sparring under the supervision of an instructor, and with rules in place.

In this way, it was very difficult for deaths to occur during battles between Martial Master level students.

After changing into the protective suit, Li Fei walked out of the locker room.

The competition still did not allow the use of one's own weapons, but the weapons prepared by the Martial University for Martial Master level students were much harder; although they were not exotic weapons, they could at least withstand the full-force strikes of a Martial Master.

Li Fei selected the saber he wanted to use and walked into the competition arena.

His current arena score was 37 points, so the Martial Master level students he could be matched with were relatively weaker in strength.

This time his opponent was a fifth-year senior who used an Earth-attribute implant and used Geng Earth Primordial Qi as his innate Qi.

Geng Earth is Yin in nature and the Primordial Qi is thick, so this opponent focused mainly on defense, was good at war of attrition, and fought with defensive counterattacks.

As soon as the match started, this fifth-year senior was enveloped in a layer of earthy-yellow gas, raised the shield in his hand, and assumed a defensive posture.

Although Li Fei was just a "newcomer" who had just broken through to the Qi Transformation stage, the opponent did not dare to take him lightly when facing this peerless genius.

Li Fei gripped his saber with both hands, activated "Tyrant Body," and stepped forward to charge at his opponent.

After closing the distance, he raised his saber and slashed downward; a dark golden blade glow was unleashed by him, striking the opponent's shield.

Bang—

The outer layer of Geng Earth Primordial Qi was sliced open, and an extra crack appeared on the shield!

The opponent took a step back, his heart filled with shock.

He felt that the innate Qi Li Fei erupted with was extremely sharp, and his own Geng Earth Primordial Qi had actually been broken through in an instant!

Next, Li Fei held his saber and slashed continuously, forcing his opponent to retreat repeatedly.

"What's going on? With He Wenye's defensive power, he shouldn't be this passive, right?"

"What kind of innate Qi is this?"

"Geng Metal Gang Qi?"

"Geng Metal Gang Qi shouldn't be this sharp either."

"Could it be..."

"Geng Metal True Qi?!"

In the stands, the students watching the battle reached a conclusion that left them astonished.

True Qi is the most difficult type of innate Qi to cultivate; there might not even be one person out of a hundred Martial Masters who has cultivated True Qi!

On the field, Li Fei attacked for several minutes, finally slashing through the shield in his opponent's hand with one strike, forcing the opponent to concede voluntarily.

"Li Fei, wins!"

The referee announced the result.

Soon, the news that Li Fei had broken through to the Qi Transformation stage and had cultivated what was suspected to be Geng Metal True Qi spread rapidly throughout the entire Martial University.

The Martial University was shaken once again!

Given the aptitude Li Fei had displayed, everyone believed he would break through to the Qi Transformation stage sooner or later.

It was just that no one expected this step to come so quickly.

What was even more shocking was the innate Qi Li Fei had cultivated—Geng Metal True Qi!

Theoretically speaking, there is no distinction of superiority among the six types of innate Qi. But in reality, Martial Masters who have cultivated True Qi are usually stronger in combat power than Martial Masters of the same realm.

There were over a hundred Martial Master level students at the Martial University, but fewer than ten had cultivated True Qi.

Now there was one more, Li Fei.

That evening, the Academic Affairs Office of the Stop-War Department released news that the course schedule had been updated:

Three professors had opened three new courses, which were:

"Practical Analysis of Innate Qi" — Professor Ding Bo (120 points)

"Detailed Explanation of True Qi" — Professor Wei Zhiquan (120 points)

"Exploration of the Geng Metal Lineage State of Mind" — Professor Wen Ke (120 points)

Now that Li Fei had successfully broken through, 20 credits were added to his student ID, bringing his total credits to 124, so he could take all three of these newly added courses.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye could see that these three courses added by these three professors were tailor-made for Li Fei!

Requesting monthly tickets.
