Lu Huai checked his body.

He could clearly feel that there was an additional flow of qi in his body.

Lu Huai closed his eyes and felt the qi.

In the next moment, he entered the state of inner sight.

He saw his internal organs and the primal chaotic black-and-white energy that was slowly flowing in his blood!

“The teacher once said that if a person responds to the activation of their martial arts talent, a stream of qi would appear in their body. And once that stream of qi awakens, it would become one’s martial arts talent.”

Lu Huai continued to explore his brain. He soon found a memory that did not belong to him.

“SSS-grade body tempering art: You can learn all cultivation techniques and greatly improve your blood and qi!”

Lu Huai was shocked!

Blood and qi, this was the most basic indicator of a martial artist’s strength.

The stronger their blood and qi, the higher the level of the martial artist.

Since it stated that he would be able to learn any cultivation technique and convert it into blood and qi, would his basic cultivation technique also work?

As soon as he thought of this, Lu Huai began to practice the basic cultivation technique he had learned in school.

He could feel the blood in his body boiling, and his bones creaking.

The excruciating pain made Lu Huai break out in a cold sweat.

After a while, the pain disappeared.

Lu Huai fell onto the bed, exhausted.

However, he felt that his originally weak body suddenly seemed to contain the power of a lion.

Lu Huai took out the blood and qi detector he always carried with him and wore it on his wrist.

[Blood and qi: 136]

His blood and qi had completely broken through the threshold of a martial apprentice!

Lu Huai could not help but be shocked.

Martial artists were divided into martial apprentices, martial soldiers, martial masters, martial generals, martial venerables, martial emperors, martial monarchs, and martial saints.

The standard for a martial artist was 20 points of blood and qi.

On the other hand, Lu Huai’s blood and qi had only been 7.6 when he was had gone through the activation ceremony earlier.

He had not been able to even touch the threshold of a martial artist.

But now, just by circulating the academy’s basic cultivation technique, his blood and qi had increased by over eighteen times!

Moreover, he felt that there was a mysterious power that was still hidden in the depths of his body.

This power seemed to be able to burst out at any time, increasing his strength by several levels.

Lu Huai tried to activate this power.

Instantly, Lu Huai felt the blood in his body boil.

His skin turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his body began emitting abnormal levels of heat.

The sudden power caught Lu Huai off guard.

He quickly went out of the window and launched a punch with all his might.

Dong!

An ancient bell seemed to ring in the air.

The space in front of Lu Huai began to ripple.

An illusionary shock wave shot out a dozen meters in the air.

Even Lu Huai felt a little breathless.

A moment later, the redness on Lu Huai’s body gradually subsided, and a feeling of weakness came over him.

So strong!

No wonder it was an SSS-grade body tempering art.

However, this power could not be released limitlessly.

After throwing this punch, Lu Huai felt that the primal chaotic black-and-white qi in his body had basically been exhausted.

Only one last trace of qi was left in his body, and it was slowly recovering.

It seemed that this move could not be used limitlessly, but it could be used as his last resort.

At the thought of this, Lu Huai looked at Big Black, who had its tongue sticking out and eating desperately.

Big Black seemed to have sensed Lu Huai’s gaze on it. It raised its head to look at Lu Huai and gave him a disdainful look. Then, it lowered its head and continued eating.

Lu Huai’s face turned a shade darker when he saw this.

It seemed that the previous feeling he had gotten was right. Big Black was really giving him the cold shoulder.

However, Lu Huai was still more pleased overall. Even the house around him, which had been torn down by Big Black, looked much more pleasing to the eye.

It appears that I had not raised you for nothing all these years. You’ve finally come in handy at such a critical moment.

However, Lu Huai was puzzled. What was Big Black’s background? Why did it have such abilities?

He had picked up Big Black not long after his father’s death.

At that time, Big Black was still a puppy, and it had been wandering the streets.

It was dirty and had wounds all over its body.

When Lu Huai found Big Black, he felt as if he had seen himself in it. Just like him, no one wanted Big Black, so he had not been able to help but bring Big Black home back then and take care of it.

He had always thought that Big Black was just an ordinary husky. But now, it seemed that it was not that simple.

However, Lu Huai believed that Big Black did not carry any ill intentions toward him. Even if he did not know what Big Black’s background really was, Lu Huai did not mind.

However, as he looked out of the window, his eyes gradually blurred.

“Now, I don’t seem to need to lay low anymore!”

Before he sensed the activation of his martial arts talent, Lu Huai thought that his life would be bleak and dull.

But now, it seemed like his dog was not going to let him do so.

The next day.

The awakening ceremony in the school began.

Lu Huai did not waste any time at home. After brushing his teeth and washing his face, he left for school.

At this time, Anyang First High School was extremely lively.

The field was already filled with senior students, and the teachers were maintaining order.

At the forefront of the field stood a few headmasters.

There were also a few men in suits and leather shoes. These people were from the Martial Arts Alliance. They were here to recruit talented seeds with potential.

“Students from all classes, please gather at where your class was assigned to gather. Do not wander around.”

At this time, Lu Huai was also on the field, looking for class five’s sign among the crowd.

The news that Lu Huai did not sense any reaction from his martial arts talent during the activation ceremony had already spread throughout the entire school.
