96: Chapter 93 Flesh and Blood Like a Furnace! Burning Body
"Minister Heng, thank you for taking the trouble to make a special trip to deliver this." Fang Yu said with a smile.
"Small matter." Heng Qiu said with a smile: "My duty is to serve you five Sky-Patrol Contract students well, and the rest will naturally be handled by other people in the Logistics Department."
As he spoke.
Heng Qiu handed a black box to Fang Yu. Fang Yu reached out and took it, directly opening the box. Inside the box was a thick book, with the two large characters "Burning Blood" on it.
"Fang Yu, this is the paper version of the Secret Manual." Heng Qiu instructed: "The electronic version has already been sent to the cloud drive of your school account. You can log in directly to read it, and there are also some auxiliary Cultivation videos——Remember, whether it is the paper version, electronic version, or videos, dissemination is strictly prohibited."
"You had better memorize this paper version of the Secret Manual as well, and try not to take it out of the Student Manor."
"You only have the right to learn, not the right to distribute——If you are investigated for private dissemination in the future, I suppose I don't need to say much about the consequences." Heng Qiu said solemnly.
"Understood." Fang Yu nodded.
Afterward.
Heng Qiu then left with two staff members.
"2 million Star Coins, just like that gone?" Fang Yu held the box and inwardly sighed: "Creating a Secret Manual and then selling it out with official authorization is truly lucrative."
Of course.
Fang Yu understood that there was a reason why the Blue Moon Alliance protected copyright in this way. Only by being profitable could generation after generation of martial arts powerhouses be willing to contribute their Cultivation efforts.
If they were completely unprotected, who would be willing to bring out their ultimate techniques?
Like in ancient times, there was no such thing as copyright protection, only the Master's Legacy. How many once-famous ultimate skills were ultimately lost?
"Besides."
"A truly powerful Secret Manual or ultimate technique is best verified through the Cultivation of thousands of people before its flaws can be made up for." Fang Yu thought to himself.
As far as Fang Yu knew.
Some of the Secret Manuals taught by major middle schools and universities in the Blue Moon Alliance were tempered like this, ultimately forming Secret Manuals and ultimate techniques suitable for most people to learn, such as the Streamer Saber and Thousand Mountains Saber which were both like this.
Returning to the underground martial arts room, he turned on the lights.
"I wonder what the difference is between this Inner Scenery saber technique and the microscopic saber technique." Fang Yu sat by the desk and directly opened the first page.
"Inner Scenery is essentially the excavation of bodily potential. How to excavate? It is to squeeze to the limit as much as possible, making the spirit and body fit together, but you cannot constantly engage in life-and-death combat. Walking on the edge of life and death too many times will cross the line, and you will die!"
The words on the first page left Fang Yu stunned.
It was a bit too colloquial.
But it really made sense.
Fang Yu continued to turn to the second page.
"This is why I created this saber technique: during Cultivation, to actively make oneself approach death."
"The 'burn' in Burning implies combustion. The 'blood' implies life Origin Qi. This saber technique takes the burning of life blood Qi and life Origin Qi as the price in exchange for physical explosive power that surpasses the limit. The Seven Blades of Burning Blood burn blood and refine life."
"This Cultivation method is extremely dangerous, and a slight carelessness will damage the Foundation or even lead to death."
"People who are afraid of death cannot Master the Burning Blood Saber Technique, because every stroke you make is burning your own life."
"The Burning Blood Saber Technique is divided into a total of seven forms and three major stages. The first three blades are the first stage named 'Blood Boiling'. It originates from the microscopic level, but it is by no means a simple transport of blood Qi; instead, it requires the blood Qi to boil, raging and surging within the body like pulp. With blades coming out like arrows, it can make the limit power exploded by those with microscopic techniques exceed two times——"
Fang Yu watched, holding his breath.
Blood Boiling?
Too crazy!
The saber technique he had cultivated before, although it also transported blood Qi and stimulated the burst of hidden force, only consumed physical strength——Fighting for one's life like this, before even killing the opponent, he would be crippled first.
"The second stage, namely the fourth to sixth blades, is named 'Furnace'. It can be cultivated upon reaching the Major Achievement of Inner Scenery. It treats the human body as a furnace and cells as fuel. Through the impact and stimulation of blood Qi, it forces every single cell to try its best to explode the stored energy, just like countless miniature bombs exploding in the muscles, which can cause the power of the saber technique to skyrocket to an astonishing level——"
"But the damage caused to the cells is also astonishing——Cells as firewood, flesh and blood as a furnace, one blade out, endless until death."
Fang Yu murmured to himself.
Cells as firewood, flesh and blood as a furnace.
This was even crazier than the first stage. No matter how great the consumption of the first stage was, it was at most a deficiency of blood Qi, but this second stage, if performed too crazily, was likely to cause the body to collapse.
The second stage was already so powerful.
What about the third stage?
Fang Yu couldn't help but continue turning downward.
"The third stage is named 'Burning Body', which can be cultivated after reaching the Ninth Layer of Inner Scenery. Upon reaching this Realm, it does not rely purely on blood or cells, but on the perfect combination of blood Qi, cells, bones, and spirit, turning the body into an integrated whole, attempting to transform oneself into a saber——"
"It is not the arm swinging the saber."
"Instead, it is the person swinging the saber. Blood Qi boils, cells burn, bones are cracking——The whole person is a blood saber, killing towards the enemy, hence the name 'Burning Body'."
"The saber of Burning Body has no fixed moves; it is more of a Concept. When you can continuously execute the first six blades and skillfully erupt the power of blood Qi, cells, and bones, you will naturally Master the saber of Burning Body."
"The body is the saber, the saber is the body. Transforming into a saber through Burning Body connects intent to the Exterior!"
Merely the general outline and Concept completely shocked Fang Yu.
And it completely broadened his horizons.
"Basic, microscopic, Inner Scenery——The three major Realms of technique." Fang Yu murmured to himself: "This Burning Blood Saber Technique can truly be considered to have interpreted the true meaning of the Inner Scenery Technique."
Human potential is infinite.
The so-called martial arts technique is essentially the high-efficiency excavation of bodily strength——But similarly, the more brilliant the technique, the faster the excavation, the greater the consumption, and the faster the body collapse.
The Burning Blood Saber Technique was an even more extreme excavation of bodily strength.
Compared with this saber technique, the saber techniques Fang Yu had learned before were far too inferior and simply not on the same level.
Time passed.
For several hours, Fang Yu studied the specific Cultivation method of the first form several times, then turned on the projector and browsed the Cultivation videos.
Until he was thoroughly proficient.
Fang Yu then began to try Cultivating it.
"Swish!"
The moment the saber light slashed out, Fang Yu tried to mobilize his whole body's blood Qi, only to feel his blood boil instantly, surging like a rolling thunder, penetrating every part of his limbs and bones.
It was very uncomfortable!
It felt just like an ordinary person running desperately for one thousand meters, feeling as if their lungs were about to burst.
"No wonder!"
"The first form clearly mobilize blood Qi, which logically should be microscopic saber techniques, yet they are classified under Inner Scenery." Fang Yu noticed the special feature of the Burning Blood Saber Technique.
"If it is only a microscopic technique, it cannot achieve the internal Wisdom Eye. Forcing Cultivation will easily harm the body."
"Only Inner Scenery experts, who constantly perceive every subtle change in the body, can manipulate the explosive direction of blood Qi as much as possible—" Fang Yu thought to himself.
Early the next morning.
In the underground martial arts room.
"Have you tried cultivating the Burning Blood Saber Technique?" Tang Jianxin smiled and said.
"Mm." Fang Yu couldn't help saying: "It's amazing. How was this saber technique created?"
"Of course it's amazing. It was created by a starry sky powerhouse proficient in saber techniques during the Sky-Patrol Martial Artist stage, based on the handwritten manuscript 《Outline of Inner Scenery left behind by the world's number one powerhouse Ye Xinghe." Tang Jianxin smiled and said: "Many Inner Scenery saber technique experts will study this Secret Manual."
Fang Yu suddenly understood. This saber technique actually had a connection with the world's number one powerhouse Ye Xinghe.
"Objectively speaking."
"This saber technique is not a combat method, but a Cultivation method——" Tang Jianxin said: "It tries its best to simulate the state of a Martial Artist on the edge of life and death, forcing the combination of the Martial Artist's spirit and Physical Body to improve the control over body cells."
"Therefore, you'd better use it for Cultivation."
"If you are in combat, don't easily use this saber technique. The consumption to the body is too great——and if the time is slightly longer, it will cause irreversible damage." Tang Jianxin instructed.
"Understood." Fang Yu nodded.
"Good!"
"The first form actually has 9 variant moves. Each variant move performs blood Qi bursts from different parts to facilitate your understanding of the body." Tang Jianxin said: "Today I will explain the 9 variant moves to you one by one."
Two hours later.
After Tang Jianxin finished explaining and left, Fang Yu also had a deeper understanding of the Burning Blood Saber Technique.
At twelve o'clock noon.
A low-altitude aircraft arrived at the spacecraft docking area of Huguang Martial Arts University. Fang Yu arrived here on time and boarded the aircraft after verifying his identity.
Just a moment later.
Hu Yan led another tall young man in. This young man had curly hair and soft facial lines, which quite matched the aesthetic of a "pretty boy".
"Who is this?" The curly-haired youth slightly frowned, looking at Fang Yu somewhat coldly.
"Fang Yu." Hu Yan smiled and said: "This is Wei Xuan, a junior student at Huguang Martial Arts University, and a formally signed Martial Artist of the group. He is also from Wuling City. He is lucky this time; it just happened that I came to pick you up, so I brought him along."
Fang Yu smiled and nodded, stood up, and extended his hand: "I am Fang Yu, a senior."
"You are Senior Fang Yu?" Hearing Fang Yu's name, the youth named Wei Xuan flashed a trace of shock on his face.
Immediately.
Wei Xuan, who was quite arrogant just now, changed his attitude and revealed a smile on his face: "Yesterday Big Brother Wei Mo just mentioned to me that a very powerful senior appeared in the senior year, whose technique has already crossed into the Inner Scenery Realm. I didn't expect him to also sign with our Xinghe Group. It is truly fate."
"It is indeed fate." Fang Yu smiled and said: "Being signed by the group, you must also be very excellent."
"Yes."
"Wei Xuan is not bad. In his junior year at Huguang Martial Arts University, he has always been in the top ten of the total score and signed the Earth Contract." Hu Yan smiled and said: "Keep working hard; there is still hope to charge towards an Earth Martial Artist in the future."
"Compared with Senior Fang Yu, I am nothing at all." Wei Xuan modestly said: "Nowadays, there are only five people in the entire school who can enter the Student Manor."
"What about the Earth Contract? There are a full hundred or so people."
Hu Yan smiled upon hearing this.
All along, Wei Xuan was quite arrogant due to his own talent and family background, but facing Fang Yu, his posture turned out to be so modest.
Sure enough, the only thing that can make a Genius recognize someone is an even greater Genius.
"Alright, let's all sit down first."
"The aircraft is about to start." Hu Yan smiled and said: "We can return to Wuling City in less than an hour. Wei Xuan, we will drop off Fang Yu first later, any objections?"
"No objections." Wei Xuan quickly said.
More than an hour later.
Wuling City, Zhonglin Yujing Community, the aircraft slowly descended.
"Where did this aircraft come from?"
"How dare it fly directly in the urban area? And it even barged directly into our community. Doesn't the Inspection Department care?"
"Where are the security guards?" The arrival of the aircraft immediately attracted the attention of many residents and security guards in the community. Someone immediately notified security to complain that someone was invading privacy.
But as soon as the security guards saw the logo of the aircraft, they immediately shrank back: "That's an aircraft from Xinghe Group. It definitely has an urban flight license. How can I manage it?"
Hum~ When it was still more than ten meters away from the ground, the aircraft hovered, and the cabin door opened.
Swish!
Amidst a chorus of exclamations, a figure carrying a large bag descended from the sky, landing directly on the fitness square of the community, drawing the attention of many people on the square.
Immediately afterward, the aircraft quickly rose.
"You're from house number 168?" The security guard not far away was stunned and somewhat incredulous. Although the community owners generally had some money, they were still far from being able to purchase an aircraft.
This kind of manned intra-planetary aircraft, even a small one, cost at least tens of millions of Star Coins.
"Mm, Brother Wang." Fang Yu grinned: "Sorry, I was in a rush and disturbed everyone."
There weren't many residents in the villa community to begin with.
Having lived in the community for over a decade, many security guards knew Fang Yu.
"Fang Yu?" A tall middle-aged owner revealed an even more shocked look: "You just now? Jumped down directly from a height of more than ten meters?"
With this kind of strength, Intermediate Martial Artists generally couldn't do it, and it was very easy to get hurt.
In his memory, Fang Yu was only a junior college student.
"Uncle Lei." Fang Yu also smiled and waved. It was his own neighbor and a friend of his dad's.
At the same time.
Fang Yu also noticed the pretty female companion arm-in-arm with him, who seemed a bit different from the one he saw two months ago.
"Uncle Lei, let's chat another time. I'm heading home first." Fang Yu smiled and walked straight towards his home.
Uncle Lei looked at the direction where Fang Yu disappeared and couldn't help saying: "This old Fang family is truly going to strike it rich!"
