79: Crazy practice

This day.

Shen Bei sought out Professor Gu Xinrou.

The two arrived at the private basement within the villa.

Shen Bei made a strange request: "Teacher, I hope you can help me Cultivate."

Professor Gu Xinrou’s beautiful face froze, her crescent-moon-like eyebrows arched, and she looked at Shen Bei with hesitant, somewhat resentful eyes: "How can I help you Cultivate?"

"Take out your weapon and kill me. Let's fight. I need actual combat, a lot of actual combat, to temper my courage! Don't hold back, just kill me!" Shen Bei said coldly.

Professor Gu Xinrou's mouth twitched a few times.

Her mind was filled with thoughts of Shen Bei having gone mad.

Although Shen Bei hadn't attended classes these days.

He was at least diligent, hiding in the basement to Cultivate Martial Skills instead of going out to do odd jobs.

Professor Gu Xinrou didn't say much, occasionally coming to check on him and offer guidance.

As a teacher, Professor Gu Xinrou was very perceptive, always able to spot Shen Bei's mistakes and correct them.

In other words, Professor Gu Xinrou was somewhat like Wang Yuyan from Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.

A profound Martial Arts theoretician.

But to make her engage in actual combat… damn.

It wasn't that she lacked actual combat ability; at least, she wasn't much worse than Shen Bei.

But her growth ceiling naturally couldn't compare to Shen Bei's.

After all, Professor Gu Xinrou's focus wasn't on actual combat, but on teaching.

And now Shen Bei was actually asking her to be his sparring partner.

Professor Gu Xinrou's face looked as if she had seen a ghost, a stunned expression: "Are you sure you want actual combat?"

Shen Bei nodded.

Actual combat is a must!

Professor Gu Xinrou took a deep breath, wanting to refuse, but she saw Shen Bei gritting his teeth, his fierce determination as if he wanted to devour someone.

Then, looking at the three Martial Skills books on the desk, almost worn out from being flipped through, she couldn't help but draw a short sword: "Since that's the case, I won't be polite. Although I am a teacher at the Martial Arts University, I once followed my brother Guangfeng to kill Martial Artist villains to train myself."

Instantly.

Professor Gu Xinrou's entire demeanor changed.

From a gentle and amiable big sister, she transformed into a hunter harvesting lives in the dark night.

Her entire body exuded a cold, "assassination" aura, which sent a chill through Shen Bei's head.

Swish, swish, swish—

As sword light flashed from Professor Gu Xinrou's hand, it stabbed towards Shen Bei's glabella, eyes, ears, throat, wrists, and arms.

Shen Bei felt the dense Killing Intent and quickly dodged.

Pfft!

A long bloody gash appeared on his forehead, blood flowing down, revealing the stark white bone beneath.

How big is the difference between having a sword in hand and being empty-handed? Especially when two experts are fighting.

Wiping his forehead, the wound stopped bleeding, and Shen Bei continued to Move, dodging left and right, fiercely counterattacking, but soon, several more sword marks appeared on his body.

However, he didn't care about the injuries at all, exuding endless energy, desperately dodging the sword light, and seeking opportunities to counterattack.

Ten minutes!

One hour!

Two hours!

In the end, Shen Bei's entire body was covered in blood, as if he had been cut into a thousand pieces and slowly tortured to death.

It was a shocking sight.

"Stop! You're bleeding too much, do you need to be bandaged?" Professor Gu Xinrou stopped.

"Good! Let's do it again tomorrow!"

Shen Bei also felt it was enough.

It must be said that high-intensity actual combat allowed Shen Bei's understanding of the three Martial Skills to advance to the next level.

Martial Skills are only killing techniques through actual combat.

If there's no blood, it's just a show!

Professor Gu Xinrou was completely numb.

She felt that Shen Bei was completely insane.

Normally, he was cheerful and would crack dirty jokes at will.

But ever since he killed Lei Laohu, he seemed to have been stimulated by something.

He had become completely profound.

As if something urgent was pressing him, making him seize every second.

But Professor Gu Xinrou didn't ask much.

Nor was she curious about what the secret was.

If a Martial Artist couldn't keep a secret, disaster would naturally follow frequently.

Just like how Shen Bei broke through to become a Martial Artist using some Martial Skill, Professor Gu Xinrou asked, but Shen Bei didn't say, so there was no need to dig into it.

Secrets that a Martial Artist is unwilling to speak of are usually tied to life and death.

It's bad to speak of them, and bad for those who hear them.

The next day, the two appeared in the basement again.

Professor Gu Xinrou found that Shen Bei's wounds had healed, leaving only faint traces, and she secretly marveled at Shen Bei's Physique's strong recovery ability.

She suspected Shen Bei had taken some Medicinal Pills.

But in reality, all of Shen Bei's Medicinal Pills had been used up during his fight with Lei Laohu.

And the welfare that the school should provide each month had not been fulfilled.

After all, the cave that appeared at Shanhai Pass caused such tragic deaths that all the supplies that the country should have allocated to Lingnan City were intercepted.

From a national perspective, since Liaobei Province had no war, a little less wouldn't matter.

And Liaobei Province felt that if the supplies were reduced, then the Martial Arts Universities within the province would naturally be prioritized.

So, Lingnan City it is…

Anyway, they hadn't cultivated any famous students for so many years.

Making the students suffer a little more wasn't a problem.

This was also the reason why Principal Zhang was fuming and howling with anxiety.

It directly forced students and teachers to take action and establish the reputation of Lingnan City Martial Arts University.

Otherwise…

In the next allocation of supplies, Lingnan City Martial Arts University would still suffer losses.

The soft persimmon is easy to squeeze.

This is a universal truth everywhere.

If Lingnan City Martial Arts University doesn't stand up for itself, it will always be bullied by other Earth-Grade City Martial Arts Universities in terms of supplies.

Therefore, Shen Bei had not enjoyed any benefits in terms of Medicinal Pills.

And the reason for Shen Bei's rapid recovery from injuries was his "Fifth Dimension Mysterious Attribute" obtained from his daily part-time work.

Although the Fifth Dimension Mysterious Attribute cannot be detected.

Its status is definitely not lower than the other four-dimensional attributes.

At this moment, Shen Bei and Professor Gu Xinrou clashed again, still ending with Shen Bei covered in wounds and blood.

At night, he also continued to practice hard!

Practicing various Moves, practicing desperately!

The third day!

The fourth day!

The fifth day!

Every day, he was cut to pieces by Professor Gu Xinrou's sword during the day.

It gave Professor Gu Xinrou a headache, and she had nightmares at night, full of blood.

And Shen Bei, at night, practiced, practiced, and practiced even more with a physical strength that completely surpassed the limits of ordinary people!

He wanted to completely exhaust himself, to fully stimulate all the potential attributes of his body, and thoroughly integrate them into his body for control.

Professor Gu Xinrou also increasingly admired Shen Bei's perseverance. Enduring the pain of being slowly tortured to death every day, covered in blood, was beyond what an ordinary person could endure.

Ten days passed.

Fifteen days passed.

Twenty days passed!

Finally, on this night.

Shen Bei felt his powerful blood surging and roaring inside and out of his body.

The highest insight of the Pine Crane Longevity Fist Martial Skill seemed to transform into a golden light, wrapping around various organs inside his body, like cast gold, resembling steel!

And the Flying Spirit Flexible Bone Fist transformed into a green spiritual light, stretching and kneading Shen Bei's entire bone structure and Meridians to their limits, making his bones seem boneless and his Meridians soft as silk floss!

At the same time, the dead skin marks of hundreds of sword wounds on Shen Bei's skin continuously peeled off, like a Dragon shedding its skin, and the new skin was tougher and firmer, with a thick membrane growing inside the sebum! A diaphragm!

His entire body was filled with endless explosive power.

After twenty days of Cultivation, Shen Bei, regardless of life or death, success or failure, enduring the pain of slow torture day and night, finally brought both the "Pine Crane Longevity Fist" and "Flying Spirit Flexible Bone Fist" to Perfection!

Beneath his skin, a thick, dense membrane had formed, like cowhide, making him most resistant to blows.

His physical strength greatly increased, making him incomparably valiant.

Shen Bei felt that even without using Seven Stars Fist Moves, he could recover to his Peak actual combat state.

Otherwise, how could he be called "valiant"?

Shen Bei was not a gentleman; his status was humble. If he hadn't obtained a cheat, he would have been a social outcast his entire life.

He was clearly a petty person, so he wished to avenge any grievance immediately, unable to wait even one night. Now, having waited a full twenty days, the resentment in his heart was overwhelming, so vast that all the waters of the Five Lakes and Four Seas could not wash it away.

"So, you're the delivery man…"

Shen Bei's eyes were as still as death: "It's my turn to find you!"
