284: Storm is coming

Inside the Limit Martial Arts Hall.

Xiao Fan had already received his test results and was relaxing on the sofa, feeling completely at ease.

The data showed that he should rest for three hours before proceeding to the next stage of consumption.

Xiao Fan was quite satisfied with this physical test data.

Five and a half bottles a day, that was about right.

However, he also roughly considered why his Physical Body resistance was so much higher than others.

Meng Tianzong’s limit was three and a half bottles a day.

His talent was also Divine-Grade.

Xiao Fan’s current talent was only slightly higher than Divine-Grade, not reaching the Myth-Grade.

Therefore, talent definitely wasn't the key to his higher Physical Body resistance!

The key should be in the Physical Body amplification Martial Arts!

Meng Tianzong also Cultivated the God-Demon Scripture, which was why he could manage three and a half bottles.

Xiao Fan then asked why he didn’t Cultivate a few more.

Meng Tianzong was, after all, an elite among elites; tens of thousands of merits certainly meant nothing to him.

But Meng Tianzong’s answer surprised Xiao Fan greatly.

He said that for Myth-Grade amplification, two Physical Body and two Element were the limit; Cultivating more would have no further effect.

But Xiao Fan did!

He had Cultivated five or six Physical Body amplification Martial Arts and didn’t feel that he had reached his limit.

Although there would be some diminishing returns, it was nothing like Meng Tianzong and the others, for whom two Martial Arts rendered further ones ineffective.

It was then that Xiao Fan understood the true Heaven-Defying aspect of the Dominator talent.

This talent’s basic attribute was merely versatile, not outstanding.

But its upper limit was too high; anything could be stuffed into it.

Myth-Grade Martial Arts could be stuffed in casually.

Element Seeds could be stuffed in casually.

This was the true meaning of infinite possibilities!

Therefore, Xiao Fan set his sights on the Human Race’s last Physical Body amplification general Martial Arts, named “Seven Star Body.”

This Martial Arts actually had similar effects to the God-Demon Scripture, only the Cultivation method was different.

Seven Star Body required Cultivation at night, while bathing in the starlight of the Big Dipper!

But this was irrelevant to Xiao Fan; he could Cultivate whether there was starlight or not!

However, upon opening the current merit mall, as expected, most Martial Arts were still in the stage of being reservable but not purchasable, including Seven Star Body.

Furthermore, none of them accepted “Huabei” payments, meaning no loans were allowed.

“There are still too few Martial Arts Chargers,” Xiao Fan lamented.

Si Mu, sitting beside him, smiled faintly and said, “There will be many more soon.”

“Oh?” Xiao Fan raised an eyebrow.

Si Mu slowly said, “Now, the appearance of the Beyond Martial Arts, the turmoil of the Taiping Divine Sect, and the dense clashes on the front lines are all telling everyone that war is about to begin.”

“The Federation is also gradually entering a state of readiness for war.”

“This means that many graduating students from colleges in the interior, excellent teachers, professors, including powerful figures and scholars from some major forces, will successively flock to the Eight War Zones, entering a state of total mobilization.”

Xiao Fan took a deep breath; although the Martial Arts Hall was relatively calm, he felt a storm brewing, and his entire body inexplicably tensed up.

Si Mu leaned back on the long sofa with his legs crossed, holding a glass of strong liquor, and sighed as he looked out the window, “The calm before the storm…”

“Right now, you see sparse figures outside this window, but dense buildings.”

“By that time, this place might be completely packed with people!”

“Let me tell you a set of data.”

“Whenever a large-scale war begins, the number of people entering Shanhai Pass dramatically increases, up to 600 million people, and the lowest was also 400 million people.”

“Shanhai Pass is also the First War Zone; at that time, the most elite scholars and professors from the entire Federation will gather here, including possibly half of Di Yi Academy relocating here. Wasn’t it true that many past Super God Classes directly studied at Shanhai Pass in earlier years?”

At this point, Si Mu pointed to a direction very far outside the window and said faintly, “The old site is in that direction. There’s no one there now; the old houses are all filled with sand and dust.”

“But I feel that your Super God Class this year will likely not be able to go back.”

Si Mu chuckled, “The intensive training was going well, but now a war is about to break out!”

“Do you think this world makes any sense?”

Xiao Fan chuckled, “That’s also good; compared to the academy, I still prefer a place like Shanhai Pass.”

Finally.

Si Mu got up and poured Xiao Fan a glass of strong white liquor, handed it to him, and said faintly, “Alcohol helps stimulate the nerves.”

“After drinking this glass, the effect will be better when you enter the Mental Impact Room.”

Xiao Fan took it and nodded slightly; under normal circumstances, he would definitely worry about the other party setting him up.

But Si Mu himself also drank, so there was nothing more to say.

Xiao Fan raised his glass, drank it in one gulp, then patted his bottom and stood up, saying decisively, “Let’s go!”

“The bet is one hundred and fifty bottles!”

The two walked out of the lounge; by this time, there were only a few Zhenshan Troops left in the Limit Martial Arts Hall.

Everyone was going out to kill enemies, earn money, and then wait for the good news of Si Mu winning this mental confrontation to come back and collect their money.

Even Aya decided to go out and stretch her limbs; with war approaching, she also needed to find her fighting rhythm.

Therefore, outside the Mental Impact Room, only Wen Shuangshuang was left watching the gambling table filled with Source Fluid.

It suddenly felt a bit desolate.

But training itself didn’t require an audience!

Xiao Fan and Si Mu simultaneously stepped into different Mental Impact Rooms.

Bright incandescent light shone on Xiao Fan.

After entering, he sat on a soft chair and put on a precise helmet.

His finger lightly rested on the gear adjustment buttons, one red and one green; red for increasing, green for decreasing.

Finally, Xiao Fan closed his eyes, feeling the disobedient flame within his body, and decided to give it some stimulation!

Intention itself was a manifestation of spirit.

Therefore, he believed that the Mental Impact Room should be more conducive to his exploration of the mysteries of the Fire of Resistance!

The magnification of the fifth-level Mental Impact Room was the same as the fifth-level Gravity Room.

It started at five times, and each increase added two times.

Xiao Fan lightly pressed the increase button, then directly emptied his mind, allowing his spirit to suffer.

First gear, second gear…

Unconsciously, Xiao Fan had already reached the seventh gear.

Si Mu, on the opposite side, was also the same.

Both of their faces were extremely distorted.

Wen Shuangshuang’s expression was serious, and her hands were placed on the forced shutdown buttons of the two impact rooms.

If the mental impact was excessive, it was different from the Gravity Room.

People rescued from the Gravity Room were still normal.

If the mental impact was excessive, they would directly turn into idiots.

So, she had to be extremely vigilant!

At this moment, Xiao Fan steeled his heart and directly entered the eighth gear.

Suddenly, he felt that an extremely tiny crack seemed to appear on the flame within his body.
