The next day.
Afternoon, 1:50pm.
Martial Arts Association, Level C Building.
“Kid, the duel is about to begin, are you ready?”
Zhou Li walked out of the room.
Compared to his weakness a few days ago, he had considerably improved – his complexion had turned rosy after taking the Spirit Medicine Soup last night.
As he spoke, his breathing was evidently more robust.
Although the bowl of Spirit Medicine Soup didn’t completely cure him, the abundant Qi contained within it was enough to temporarily revitalize Zhou
Li’s weak body.
At this moment, he looked at Chen Sheng on the field.
Chen Sheng was in a very bizarre pose.
His body was close to the ground, with his four limbs supporting his body and his back highly elevated.
His right leg was extended to the limit, looking as though it was not part of his body but a separate part.
Accompanied by Chen Sheng’s long and powerful breaths,
the muscles on the surface of his body were constantly bulging and contracting with each breath.
Meanwhile,
it seemed as if there were raging waves within his body, with faint tidal-like sounds coming from him.
The heartbeat within him was like a heavy hammer, echoing with a strange rhythm across the entire sparring field.
Just listening to this sound made Zhou Li feel as if it was getting difficult to breathe.
His heart felt exceedingly heavy.
If his body hadn’t recovered a bit, just being near Chen Sheng would be enough to cost him his life. Zhou Li didn’t know where Chen Sheng had learned this strange cultivation technique.
But since returning here last night, he had been obsessed with it. Apart from eating and sleeping, he had barely stopped practicing.
“Master, Master!”
“Stop chanting!”
Zhou Li covered his ears, feigning extreme pain.
As soon as his words fell, the sound that echoed in the sparring field disappeared.
Chen Sheng turned his head around.
“Did drinking the Spirit Medicine Soup make you crazy? “Do you think you’re funny?”
He looked at Zhou Li with a speechless expression.
“Heh heh.”
Zhou Li squinted his eyes, chuckled unenthusiastically, and said,
“Since I’m in a good mood today, I won’t bother with you, kid.”
Having said that,
he walked towards Chen Sheng with his hands behind his back, swaying his head from side to side.
“Hurry up.”
“I want to see you get beaten up.”
Having said that,
Zhou Li patted Chen Sheng’s back, urging him to get up quickly.
However, there was only a thud,
and the feeling in his palm was as if he had struck not a person, but a steel plate.
“Hiss—”
Zhou Li’s palm turned red, and his facial features were squeezed together due to pain.
“Did you install steel plates on your back?!” Chen Sheng ignored Zhou Li’s complaints.
He slowly got up, and while walking towards the room to change his clothes, he called out his panel. [Chen Sheng]
[Strength: 35] [Agility: 36.7]
[Constitution: 34.6] [Skill Points: 23]
Strength increased by 3-5 Agility increased by 3
Constitution increased by 3-4
The training effects of Profound and True Martial Arts greatly exceeded Chen Sheng’s expectations.
Due to worrying about Zhou Li’s health, Chen Sheng hadn’t taken advantage of the spirit medicine given by Zhou Tairan to assist in training.
But even so, the minimal taste testing last night, combined with this morning’s training,
had brought about an improvement that was almost equivalent to one full day’s results in the past for Chen Sheng.
By this rate,
even without spirit medicine, Chen Sheng could at least increase his attributes by five to six points per day.
Previously, while practicing Eagle’s Breath with no spirit medicine’s help, he could at most improve by two to three points a day.
Profound and True Martial Arts doubled Chen Sheng’s growth rate.
If he used spirit medicine, his speed would increase even more.
This made Chen Sheng look forward to the upgrades Profound and True Martial Arts would bring to him. With that in mind,
Chen Sheng closed the panel.
He took out a new set of clothes and quickly changed into them.
These were clothes he had asked the personnel from the inn to bring over when he had requested the herbs from the rider the day before.
After changing his clothes,
Chen Sheng returned to the sparring field.
He looked at Zhou Li, who was clenching his hand from just hitting Chen Sheng’s back and blowing on it continuously.
“Let’s go, old man.”
“Let me show you what being strong is all about.”
Afternoon.
1:55 pm.
Martial Arts Association Hall.
There were no changes in the hall’s furnishings since yesterday.
However, there were fewer chairs on the field than there were yesterday, and they were placed at equal intervals close to the center.
Li Xingwu and Wu Ran were both there in their respective seats.
Wu Ran sat quietly in his chair with his eyes closed, adjusting his state.
Most of the competing disciples around him were doing the same.
The atmosphere on the field was quiet and solemn.
Those seated here had successfully advanced from the first round and were qualified to participate in the second round of the competition, representing their martial arts sects.
All these sects were at least Class B.
Only Xingwu Gym was Class C.
This was a normal phenomenon.
After all, the larger the sect, the easier it was to attract talented disciples and provide resources for their cultivation. However, Li Xingwu’s face showed no fear.
He had faith in Wu Ran.
He believed that with his disciple’s natural talent, these people wouldn’t catch up even if they had countless resources backing them.
As he looked at Wu Ran,
he felt reassured seeing the calm, composed demeanor of his student and nodded approvingly. Then, he looked around.
There were only five minutes left now.
The martial arts sects that were qualified to participate in the second round of the competition were all in attendance.
Li Xingwu counted.
Seven in total.
Not too many, not too few.
The second round would likely end in just one afternoon. And the name of the Xingwu Gym would shine brightly on the stage..
