143: Chapter 143 My Little Buddies!!

December 22nd.

Supported by the majestic medicinal power of another tiger elephant bone forging pill and a large number of ordinary bone forging pills...

The last trunk bone in Qin Yan's body was successfully tempered, emitting a warm, jade-like luster!

At this point, all 51 trunk bones had been tempered to Perfection!

A surge of blood qi, far more vigorous and condensed than before...

...burst forth from within his body, filling every limb and bone!

Qin Yan took a deep breath, suppressing his surging blood qi, and summoned his status panel to examine his current state:

【Level: Late-stage second grade】

【Bone Forging: lower limb bones (62), upper limb bones (64), trunk bones (51), skull ()】

【Blood Qi: 478 Cal】

【spirit: 62 Hz】

【Martial Skill: Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear, Eighth Revolution (1%)】

【Spear Technique: Fourth Stage (1%)】

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

(Second-Grade Alchemist: Unlocks at 70 Hz spirit)

【Skill Points: Points】

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

His basic blood qi had already reached the staggering height of 478 Cal!

His actual combat power was even more terrifying: with the 13% boost from his Stage Four Spear Technique, his blood qi explosive power could reach 621 Cal!

Adding to that the one-foot Spear Light, which was equivalent to 10 Cal of blood qi power...

...his instantaneous limit blood qi outburst had reached a sensational 721 Cal!

And this was without using any martial skill finishing moves!

If he were to stack the two finishing moves contained within the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear...

That's right, two major finishing moves!

Qin Yan had comprehended the first finishing move, [Nine Layers Astral Shock], during the first revolution of the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear.

It could erupt with multiple layers of overlapping vibrating Spear Aura power.

After reaching the second revolution, he not only refined [Nine Layers Astral Shock] to a deeper level...

...but also successfully comprehended the second finishing move of this top-tier martial skill!

This would be one of his most deeply hidden trump cards!

Feeling the majestic power within him that seemed capable of shattering mountains and splitting peaks, a surge of pride welled up in Qin Yan's heart.

“Current me... is terrifyingly strong!”

Qin Yan was filled with unprecedented anticipation for the National Martial Arts University Exchange Competition, which was set to officially kick off in two days.

“Next, it's time to start tempering the final and most dangerous part: the skull.”

His Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear had now reached the eighth revolution, only one step away from the final ninth revolution's Perfection.

Tempering the skull at this level significantly reduced the risks.

He believed that even for Lu Youyou, Lu Qingfeng, and others who lacked neither resources nor expert guidance...

...they would inevitably have to be cautious and slow down when they reached the stage of tempering the skull.

Otherwise, a single slip-up could damage the brain's origin, turning one into an idiot at best, or causing instant death at worst!

Just then, the bracelet beside Qin Yan rang.

Qin Yan composed himself and opened the message.

When he saw the screen displaying a video call request from the “Linhai Little Buddies” group...

...a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he chose to connect.

“Buzz—”

A pale blue light screen projected from the bracelet, quickly unfolding in the air.

It formed a clear holographic projection.

Several familiar figures immediately appeared in mid-air.

“Brother Yan! Save me, Brother Yan!”

As soon as the projection stabilized, Zhou Yuan, with an exaggerated expression, couldn't wait to wail, his face written with “despair.”

“The tickets for the National University Exchange Competition are way too hard to get!

Less than three minutes after the official channel opened, tens of thousands of tickets were gone in an instant!

I kept clicking refresh until my fingers almost cramped up, but I didn't get a single damn thing!”

He pressed his hands together in a prayer-like gesture, looking at Qin Yan's projection with puppy eyes: “Brother Yan! You're a Modu University student, do you have any internal channels? Help a brother out and get me a ticket?

Pretty please! (^_^) .”

As the highest-spec martial arts event for China's younger generation, the National University Exchange Competition's appeal was phenomenal.

Although the university Zhou Yuan got into was more ordinary, he was equally passionate about martial arts.

He was extremely eager to be there in person, feel the blood-pumping atmosphere, and witness the nation's top geniuses competing on the same stage.

Especially those from top-tier martial arts universities like Modu University of Martial Arts and Jingdu University of Martial Arts—it was said that the seniors there had even reached the terrifying Fifth Grade realm!

They could perform feats like telekinesis and condensing qi into weapons, which were almost like divine powers.

Just thinking about it made his heart race.

“Hmph, now you know to beg Qin Yan?”

Beside him, Lin Yang crossed his arms and teased with a smile, “That's what you get for not working hard on your cultivation and studies in high school.

If you had gotten into our Jianghai Martial University, you could have found a way to get an internal observation ticket. It would still take some effort, but you wouldn't be like you are now, not even getting a foot in the door.”

Lin Yang had performed excellently in the College Entrance Examination and successfully entered Jianghai Province's top martial arts university—Jianghai Martial University.

Jianghai Martial University's strength was decent; they had successfully fought their way through the fierce competition to make it into the top hundred list.

As a student of the school, he had the advantage of being close to the source, and getting a ticket was indeed much easier for him than for Zhou Yuan.

Seeing Zhou Yuan's pitiful look and hearing Lin Yang's teasing, Qin Yan couldn't help but find it a bit amusing.

He nodded and readily agreed: “Alright, alright, stop wailing.

No problem, leave it to me.

Just come to Modu a day early, contact me directly, and I'll pick you up. I'll have the ticket ready for you.”

As an official member of Modu University of Martial Arts for this exchange competition...

...the school had indeed distributed several internal complimentary tickets with excellent seating to each of them to invite friends and family.

Giving one to Zhou Yuan was absolutely no problem.

“Really?! That's great! Thanks, Brother Yan!!”

Hearing this, Zhou Yuan's face changed instantly; his frustration vanished, and he was so excited he almost jumped up.

Then he looked at Lin Yang with disdain: “Brother Yan is still the most reliable!

Unlike you, Lin Yang—you were so full of promises before, saying you'd handle it, and what happened?

You only got one and used it yourself. So unbrotherly!”

Lin Yang was a bit embarrassed by his words and explained sheepishly, “Ahem... well... I didn't expect the tickets to be this sought-after this time.

Our school's internal quota is also limited. It wasn't easy for me to even grab one...”

Qin Yan smiled, not joining their bickering, and turned his gaze to the other two projections.

These two were none other than Zhao Bin and Zhou Nan.

Zhao Bin's build seemed even more robust than in high school, and his temperament was steady.

He had entered Thunder Martial University. Thunder Martial University was also a nationally renowned key martial arts university, with strength that could not be underestimated.

And standing beside him was Zhou Nan, who appeared even more elegant and refined.
