Lu Huai did not expect the cooldown of Big Black’s space-time treasure hunt to be so low.

However, Big Black was still in a state of light injury, so it was not convenient for it to move around.

After all, Lu Huai had also seen in his memory that Big Black had to move around on its own.

However, under the effects of the medicinal pills that Lin Men had given him, Big Black’s injuries were quickly recovering.

It probably would not take long until Big Black was back to its peak state and could travel through time and space again to find treasures.

Lu Huai also began to think about what kind of treasure he should ask Big Black to find this time.

Lu Huai remembered that big Black’s space-time treasure hunt was able to find what he wanted the most.

What Lu Huai lacked the most right now were martial skills, especially offensive ones.

Although the power of the SSS-grade body tempering art’s punch was very strong, it would completely consume the primal chaotic black-and-white qi in his body after the attack, and he would fall into a weakened state.

He could not possibly use the same move against all his opponents, right?

He had to find some more conventional means to attack.

At the thought of this, Lu Huai already had an idea of what he wanted for the next treasure hunt.

In order to avoid being harassed, Lu Huai did not go to school for the next few days.

There were also people from the alliance protecting him in secret in the old apartment he lived in.

The top few floors and the bottom two floors were all bought by the alliance, which stopped many people from getting close to Lu Huai.

Two days later, Liu Changqing rang the doorbell of Lu Huai’s house.

“This is the heaven-grade cultivation technique I promised you. I’ve also brought you a martial skill. Although it’s not of a high level, it’s more than enough for you to use for now.”

“Thank you Dean Liu, I just happened to need these.” Lu Huai nodded his head and thanked principal Liu.

Dean Liu waved his hand and said, “You’re now a member of our academy. It’s our responsibility to nurture you. There’s no need to thank me. As long as you contribute to the human race in the future and exterminate the demonic beasts, our painstaking nurturing of you will not be in vain.”

Hearing Dean Liu’s words, Lu Huai’s heart was filled with warmth. He silently took the jade cylinder from Dean Liu’s hands.

Lu Huai held the jade cylinder in his hand. Instantly, a series of information appeared in his mind.

“Nine Transformations Qi Circulation”

This was the name of this heaven-grade cultivation technique!

Before Lu Huai could take a closer look, Dean Liu spoke.

“There’s this thing as well, the school badge of our Heavenly Divine Academy.”

“The school badge will allow you to use free transportation within the alliance. It will also allow you more convenience when you carry out activities in the alliance.”

Liu Changqing handed over a pure white badge with an exquisite sword engraved on it to Lu Huai.

He handed it over to Lu Huai solemnly.

“The Heavenly Divine Academy is a university directly under the alliance, so the badges are also divided into ranks. The higher the rank, the higher your authority.”

“The school badge represents the glory of our Heavenly Divine Academy, so you must keep it well.”

Lu Huai accepted the badge.

“Before you officially enter the academy in half a month, the academy will still need to conduct an entrance examination for you.”

“The content of the exam is to go deep into a place where demonic beasts appear and hunt them down. In this period of time, you should work hard to improve your cultivation. With your talent, you should be able to advance to the martial apprentice realm in half a month.”

“Every student who enters the Heavenly Divine Academy has to go through this. I hope you can understand.”

Hunt demonic beasts?

This made sense.

Ever since the revival of spirit qi, the alliance and the demonic beasts had been in a constant state of war.

Everyone took hunting demonic beasts as their responsibility.

However, he did not tell Liu Changqing that he had already reached the martial apprentice realm the first time he used the body tempering art.

After half a month, he might be able to break through to the martial warrior realm!

After Dean Liu gave his instructions, he finally said to Lu Huai with a heavy heart, “If there’s anything you don’t understand about the cultivation technique, you can contact me at any time. The higher-ups think very highly of you, and the academy has decided to use all its resources to nurture you. However, this expectation is also a test. Student Lu, your future is destined to be different from others. You have a long way to go.”

With great power came great responsibility.

Lu Huai’s path was naturally harder to walk than others.

Lu Huai fell into deep thought as he watched Liu Changqing leave.

Now that the demonic beasts were wreaking havoc, no one knew if there would be a beast tide attacking the alliance’s domain in the next moment.

Only by becoming stronger as soon as possible could he protect himself in this chaotic era. Lu Huai immediately sank his thoughts into the cultivation technique.

“Nine Transformations Qi Circulation.”

This was a cultivation technique that had one circulate the qi in one’s body, nourishing one’s blood and qi.

Lu Huai did not use this cultivation technique right away. Instead, he first circulated the SSS-grade body tempering art before trying out the cultivation technique.

After Lu Huai finished one circulation, he seemed to have understood everything about the SSS-grade body tempering art and it began to help Lu Huai circulate the cultivation technique automatically.

Originally, after Lu Huai’s body had finished one circulation, there was only a small water pillar.

However, under the effect of the SSS-grade body tempering technique, Lu Huai felt a qualitative change after the second circulation.

The qi in his body had not only doubled, but it had become five times stronger!

The SSS-grade body tempering art barbarically dismantled the heaven-grade cultivation technique and continued to automatically operate in his body. Lu Huai felt his blood boiling.

He took out the blood and qi detector and saw that his blood and qi had increased by more than 100 points in a few breaths.

His blood and qi had reached over 300 points!

If others were to find out about such a terrifying rate of improvement, they would probably go completely crazy.

However, it was not over yet. The SSS-grade body tempering art was still running. The qi that was originally flowing in Lu Huai’s body began to spread to various parts of his body, strengthening his body once again.

At this moment, Lu Huai’s strength was constantly growing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Lu Huai felt that he had already fallen in love with the feeling of cultivation.

With the mysterious heaven-grade cultivation techinque, and the automatically evolving SSS-grade body tempering art, Lu Huai’s blood and qi were inevitably going to skyrocket every day.

If he continued to cultivate at this speed, he would be able to reach the martial warrior realm in no time.

He only awakened his talent at the age of 18 and yet managed to charge into the martial warrior realm in a few days.

If anyone else were to learn of this, they would definitely call Lu Huai a cheater.

Other than cultivating the heaven-grade cultivation technique, Lu Huai would also take time to practice the martial skill that Dean Liu had given him.

The name of the martial skill was “earth-shattering fist.”

Although the grade of the martial skill was not high, it solved Lu Huai’s weakness of having only a single means of attack.

Now, Lu Huai did not need to use the punch that came with the SSS-grade body tempering art in every battle.

Just like that, Lu Huai practiced the Nine Transformations Qi Circulation and the earth-shattering fist simultaneously while waiting for the entrance examination to come in half a month.

A week later, a voice sounded in Lu Huai’s mind.

[Ding! Silly Doggy has something to tell you. The cooldown for its space-time treasure hunt has refreshed!]
