136: Chapter 136 Dialects and Local Languages

Previously, during his period as a First Grade Martial Artist, he was limited by his physical endurance and the recovery speed of his blood qi.

The time he could spend on high-intensity Spear Technique cultivation was only about 8 hours a day.

But now, he was already a mid-stage second grade martial artist.

His physical fitness, total blood qi, and recovery capabilities had all undergone a qualitative leap!

Practicing for 12 hours a day... wasn't too much, right?

Thinking of this, with a thought, he summoned his status panel.

【Level: Mid-stage Second Grade】

【Bone Honing: Lower Limb Bones (62 pieces), upper limb bones (46 pieces)】

【Blood Qi: 358 Cal】

【spirit: 62 Hz】

【Martial Arts: Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear Fifth Revolution (84%)】

【Spear Technique: Third Stage (97%)】

【Alchemy: First-Grade Alchemist (34%)】

(Second-Grade Alchemist: Unlocks at 7 Hz spirit)

【Skill Points: Points】

【Remarks: As long as you work hard, there will be rewards】

"The honing progress for the upper limb bones is very fast; I'm not far from completing all of them.

My blood qi has also reached 358 Cal, good progress.

Most importantly, the progress of the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear and my Spear Technique skill are both on the verge of a breakthrough..."

"In the next 10 days, I'll see to what extent my strength can improve...

under the conditions of maxed-out resources and more time!"

Ten days later, according to the plan.

Instructor Fang Yan would lead them to Mingzhu Martial Arts University for their first public sparring match.

Mingzhu Martial Arts University was one of the most prestigious martial arts universities in Modu besides Modu University of Martial Arts, and its strength was formidable.

Barring any accidents, it could definitely fight its way into the ranks of the national top 100 martial arts universities.

Exchanging blows with them would be an excellent warm-up and test.

After setting his goal, Qin Yan immediately took action.

Once the purchased resources were delivered to the manor on time,

he plunged headfirst into the training room and began a period of frantic and focused bitter cultivation.

Every day, he did a rock-solid 12 hours of high-intensity Spear Technique training!

Combined with an ample, even luxurious, supply of resources,

Qin Yan could clearly feel his strength growing at a steady and rapid pace.

His blood qi surged, his bones hummed, and his strength deepened continuously through every drop of sweat shed...

...

Time flew by amidst the shedding of sweat, and in the blink of an eye, it was December 11th.

All ten contestants from Modu University of Martial Arts gathered in the training field on time.

The aura emanating from each person was more condensed and profound than it had been ten days ago.

Their eyes also held a bit more sharpness and confidence honed through bitter cultivation.

Then, under the leadership of Instructor Fang Yan,

the group set off by car for the destination of this warm-up match—Mingzhu Martial Arts University.

The Modu University Town area was vast, and the distance between the various colleges was not that far.

After a twenty-minute drive, three black cars

arrived one after another at the magnificent gates of Mingzhu Martial Arts University.

The door of the middle car opened, and first to step out was Xiao Wangshu from the driver's seat.

She was still dressed in simple, elegant attire, her expression cold and aloof.

Lu Youyou followed closely from the passenger seat, jumping out of the car livelily and curiously eyeing the gates of Mingzhu Martial Arts University.

From the back seat, Qin Yan and Su Wan also stepped out in turn.

Su Wan was the student ranked eighth in the grade, with neat short hair that made her look capable and spirited.

She was the third female regular team member in the freshman rankings besides Xiao Wangshu and Lu Youyou, and her strength was not to be underestimated.

The group followed behind Instructor Fang Yan and walked into the campus of Mingzhu Martial Arts University.

The arrival of the Modu University of Martial Arts team immediately attracted the attention of many Mingzhu students.

There was curiosity, scrutiny, and also the indignant fighting spirit of the unconvinced.

“Fang Yan! Hahaha, I really didn't expect that the one leading the team this time would be you!

We haven't seen each other for quite a while!”

Just as they reached the entrance, a slightly plump, kind-faced middle-aged instructor who had been waiting there for a long time laughed and came forward to greet them.

He enthusiastically patted Fang Yan's shoulder, appearing very familiar with him.

“Fang Hua, it's you.”

A smile also appeared on Fang Yan's face; he clearly had a deep relationship with the other party.

“One should see a person in a new light after three days of absence, and it's been over half a month since we last met, so I should see you in a new-new-new-new-new light.”

He deliberately dragged out his tone, speaking with a bit of banter.

From their conversation, Qin Yan learned that this instructor from Mingzhu Martial Arts University was named Fang Hua.

Interestingly, his name was only one character different from Instructor Fang Yan's.

The two were long-time friends, practically "biological brothers" with different fathers and mothers.

It was considered a fun anecdote in the Modu martial arts education circles.

Moreover, this person was also a powerful Sixth-Rank Martial Artist!

While Fang Hua exchanged pleasantries with Fang Yan, his shrewd eyes quietly swept over the Modu University of Martial Arts team.

When his gaze passed over Xiao Wangshu, Lu Qingfeng, and Lu Youyou standing at the very front, his eyebrows couldn't help but twitch slightly.

With his seasoned eyes, he could naturally see that these three had the most profound and restrained auras.

Their blood qi was as deep as an abyss, difficult to fathom.

He immediately understood in his heart: “These three are probably the hidden aces of Modu University of Martial Arts this time, the true core.”

Subsequently, his gaze swept over the others in the team one by one, and a look of admiration couldn't help but appear on his face.

“As expected of a Top-tier Martial Arts University, such deep heritage!

This team is uniformly mid-stage second grade, and their foundations are all exceptionally solid!”

His gaze lingered on Leng Feng for a moment.

Leng Feng held his long spear, his expression cold and his aura sharp.

In his perception, the boy's blood qi was abundant, and he seemed only a step away from late-stage second grade!

“Hmm, this spear-wielding youth has an extraordinary presence and a solid foundation.

He should be the strongest in Modu University of Martial Arts besides those three aces.

By the time the exchange competition officially starts, his strength will surely have steadily broken through to the late stage of bone honing; he's a formidable opponent.”

Fang Hua made a judgment about Leng Feng in his heart.

“Hmm?!!”

Just then, Fang Hua's gaze inadvertently fell upon Qin Yan, who was standing at the back of the team with a calm expression.

The next moment, the composed expression on his face instantly froze.

It was replaced by a surge of shock that could not be concealed!

From within this seemingly unremarkable youth,

he felt a surge of blood qi fluctuations that was far more majestic and condensed than Leng Feng's!

Relying on his experience, he quickly made an estimate and was horrified in his heart: “This blood qi intensity... definitely exceeds 400 Cal!

He has definitely stepped into the late stage of bone honing!

And looking at the degree of condensation of this blood qi,

he hasn't just entered it; he has already walked quite a distance in this realm!”

A genius at the late stage of bone honing was actually not having his aura deliberately hidden like Xiao Wangshu and the others,

but was just standing “ordinarily” in the team?

For a moment, Fang Hua's brain couldn't quite wrap around it.

Seeing Fang Hua's gaze finally fixated on Qin Yan and that shocked expression on his face,

a trace of a helpless, bitter smile couldn't help but surface on Instructor Fang Yan's face nearby.
