11: Chapter 11 School Announcement

Han Ming sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes slightly closed and his breathing steady.

The chant of the Ten Thousand Dao Scripture Cultivation Technique flowed through his mind; those profound runes seemed to come alive, circling, combining, and evolving within his Sea of Consciousness.

"Using the body as a furnace, using Heaven and Earth as charcoal, melting the Ten Thousand Dao into oneself..."

Following the guidance of the Cultivation Technique, Han Ming slowly circulated the faint trace of blood qi power within his body.

At the beginning, the circulation of blood qi was extremely stiff, like rusty gears, and it took a great deal of effort to complete each rotation.

Han Ming was not anxious; he guided it slowly, repeatedly impacting the blocked Meridians.

Although the original owner had practiced for over a decade, he had been inconsistent, leading to severely blocked Meridians, weak blood qi, and an abysmal Foundation.

Ten minutes passed.

Twenty minutes passed.

Half an hour passed.

Suddenly, Han Ming's body trembled slightly.

A cool breath surged in from the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head, slowly moving down along his Meridians.

That was the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi he had forcibly drawn in!

"It's here!"

Han Ming was secretly delighted and hurriedly followed the method of the Ten Thousand Dao Scripture to guide that Spiritual Qi to circulate through his Meridians.

One cycle.

Two cycles.

Three cycles.

The speed of the Spiritual Qi circulation became faster and faster, from crawling like a turtle at the beginning to flowing as smoothly as a stream later on.

Han Ming could clearly feel that wherever the Spiritual Qi passed, his Meridians trembled slightly, as if parched land had finally welcomed sweet rain.

Even more magically, the Ten Thousand Dao Scripture seemed to carry a certain attraction, and the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi flowed toward Han Ming endlessly, like all rivers running into the sea.

If anyone were to walk into Han Ming's room at this moment, they would be stunned by the scene before them—a faint seven-colored halo had appeared around Han Ming, and those halos brightened and dimmed with his breathing, flickering unsteadily.

As for Han Ming himself, he was completely immersed in the wondrous feeling of Cultivation.

He could feel waves of Heaven and Earth energy being refined by his body and merging into his blood qi, and his blood qi value was constantly increasing.

203 points...

205 points...

208 points...

213 points...

The blood qi value was steadily climbing!

This feeling was so satisfying, ten times more satisfying than just lying there waiting for feedback!

Han Ming was ecstatic.

Although Cultivating himself was tiring, this feeling of watching his strength grow bit by bit was simply addictive.

Just at this moment:

[Ding! Detected that disciple Lin Fan is Cultivating the Ten Thousand Dao Scripture, blood qi value +1... Synchronizing feedback to the host, host blood qi +5!]

The System notification sounded suddenly.

Han Ming was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

Lin Fan, this guy, really is a Cultivation fanatic. He started on his end just as I've only been Cultivating for an hour?

However, it came just in time!

Han Ming did not stop Cultivating; on the contrary, he circulated it even faster.

Double the happiness!

He gained blood qi from his own Cultivation, and he also gained blood qi from Lin Fan's Cultivation; with the two forces combined, the climbing speed of his blood qi value was shockingly fast!

218... 225... 233... 242...

One hour passed.

Two hours passed.

Three hours passed.

Han Ming completely forgot about time, his entire being immersed in the pleasure of Cultivation.

Until someone knocked on his door.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

"Xiaoming, are you up? Eat breakfast and hurry to school, or you'll be late if you're any later."

Jiang Xuerou's voice came from outside the door.

"Got it, Mom."

Han Ming came back to his senses and checked the time; it was already 7:30 in the morning.

He had actually been Cultivating for the entire night.

Moreover, having not slept for the whole night, he didn't feel sleepy at all; instead, he felt refreshed and clear-headed. Cultivation was truly magical.

Han Ming got up, washed up briefly, and then brought up the System panel.

The blood qi value column had already become 263, which made Han Ming open his mouth in surprise.

An increase of 60 points of blood qi in one night? It was simply incredible; no one would believe it if he told them.

Before, it would have been considered good to increase one point of blood qi in a night of Cultivation; now, it had increased by 60 points directly, a significant boost in strength.

Even adding the feedback from Lin Fan's side, it left Han Ming in shock—it was worthy of being an Immortal-grade Cultivation Technique.

Han Ming left his room and didn't see his father or his two uncles; he didn't know if they had gone to Cultivate or had gone out to take care of business.

"Big Brother..."

"Big Brother, morning!"

After a simple breakfast, he arrived outside the courtyard and saw Butler Han Fu waiting there, along with his younger cousins Han Lei and Han Shanshan; they greeted him one after another when they saw Han Ming come out.

Their complexions were not very good, with large dark circles under their eyes; clearly, they had been affected by the incident with the Zhang Family.

"Hmm, why are you guys so late today too?"

Han Ming nodded at them and asked curiously.

Because they hadn't undergone Awakening yet, focusing mainly on school cultural courses and some knowledge about Yao Beasts and Secret Realms, they usually arrived at school earlier than him.

"It's all because of those bastards from the Zhang Family!"

Han Lei clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. "I didn't sleep all night last night. Not only did they rob us of our Spiritual Plants and ten million, but they also injured Grandpa. I wish I could go and kill them!"

"Second Brother!"

Han Shanshan tugged on his sleeve and whispered, "Stop talking. This isn't something we should be worrying about right now; it won't be good if people from the Zhang Family hear you."

Han Lei opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say anything more, just lowered his head, his shoulders trembling slightly.

Han Ming looked at him and sighed inwardly.

Han Lei, from his second uncle's Family, was 17 years old this year and hadn't undergone Awakening yet. He certainly had some backbone.

"Let's go." Han Ming patted his shoulder. "Get in the car."

Third Martial Arts High School.

As soon as Han Ming and the others stepped into the school gate, they noticed that the atmosphere today was exceptionally different.

The playground was packed with people, discussing something in groups of three or five, and the area in front of the bulletin board was so crowded that not even water could pass through.

"What's going on?" Han Lei stood on tiptoe to look.

Han Ming narrowed his eyes and saw a brand-new red notice posted on the bulletin board, the handwriting on it bold and unrestrained.

"Let's go, let's take a look."

The group squeezed into the crowd and looked up at the notice.

[Notice]

To all third-year students:

The Martial Arts College Entrance Examination is imminent. To test the true level of every student and to encourage everyone for the final sprint, the school has decided to hold the final Martial Arts Test Competition before the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination this Friday (May 5th).

The results of this competition will serve as an important reference for college entrance examination volunteer recommendations.

At the same time, to commend the advanced, the school has specially established competition rewards:

First place: Reward of 10 rank 2 blood vitality pills

Second place: Reward of 9 rank 2 blood vitality pills

Third place: Reward of 8 rank 2 blood vitality pills

... Tenth place: Reward of 1 rank 2 blood vitality pill

Note: This test is limited to third-year students. The test results will be announced on the spot, and the rewards will be distributed on the spot.

We hope all third-year students will prepare seriously and strive for good results.

Jiangbei Base City Third Martial Arts High School Academic Affairs Office, May 2nd

"First place actually gets 10 rank 2 blood vitality pills? Why is the school so generous this year?"

"Yeah! Ten rank 2 blood vitality pills cost at least 15,000, which is several months' salary for an ordinary person. I remember last year's first-place reward was only ten rank 1 blood qi pills, which was only a little over a thousand yuan."

"Isn't that right? I heard that our Third Martial Arts High School is at the bottom every year, and the school's education funding is getting scarcer. This year, it's Principal Wang paying out of his own pocket for the students' rewards."

"Sigh... there's no helping it. Who told those disciples from big families and talented students to all go to the First and Second Martial Arts High Schools!"
