Chapter 197: 0153 Hidden Dragon Top 500 (4k, requesting monthly ticket and subscription)_2

Having figured out these things, Lu Chenzhou sought out Chen Jiu.

Opening the door, Chen Jiu’s eyes immediately lit up.

"Chenzhou, have you reached Perfection?"

Lu Chenzhou nodded.

"I reached Perfection when I woke up this morning."

After Chen Jiu inspected him, he indeed found that his entire body had transformed into a golden film.

He thought to himself, incredibly surprised,

"This kid’s Cross Training Talent is even beyond my estimates. I originally thought it would take a week to transition from the copper film to the golden film, but it only took three days."

Lu Chenzhou inquired,

"Mr. Chen, I would also like to learn the Golden Body Skill from you in the future and would appreciate your guidance for sparring training... Do you have the time?"

Chen Jiu pondered for a moment before saying,

"If that’s the case, the expenses this month would be substantial."

Lu Chenzhou replied,

"I can manage it for now."

Chen Jiu smiled and said,

"Alright, come find me when you’re ready. Since you’re subscribing for the long term, I’ll give you a discount. Fifty Great Merit points per month will suffice, all right?"

As a Breakthrough Second Shackles practitioner, Chen Jiu’s time was also very precious. He planned to contend for the Third Shackles Breaker position and aimed to become a high-ranking Earth List martial artist in the future at the All Nations Martial Arts Competition.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen!"

Having solved a tricky issue, Lu Chenzhou left in high spirits.

...

November 8th, he got up early in the morning.

[Your Hidden Dragon List score has increased by 1024, current score 10064. Your potential list ranking has risen to the 500th place. Maintain your current ranking and you’ll receive 3 Great Merit points per month, which will be automatically credited to your campus card by the school administration department at the end of the month. Keep up the good work.]

[Congratulations, for achieving the Hidden Dragon Top 500 Achievement, you receive a one-time reward of 100 Great Merit points from the school administration department... Current great merit balance: 210 points.]

In the morning, Lu Chenzhou was bombarded with these messages.

"I’ve gone up again? I’m in the top 500 now?"

He was momentarily unable to grasp the news.

Who would have thought that at the beginning of the year, he had been ranked beyond the 3000 mark?

"I guess Mr. Chen must have reported my Hard Qi Gong cultivation status to the evaluation committee. Even though Hard Qi Gong isn’t my main focus, it’s still a plus for the potential list... Plus, I went to check my Qi-Blood level last night, and it has improved to 5.8. Only 0.39 away from Tenth Rank. Once the Qi-Blood data is synchronized, it will also automatically add to my score."

The reward of 100 Great Merit points was an unexpected pleasure. Lu Chenzhou glanced ahead and saw a genius who was even younger but ranked above him.

[484th place, Li Fu, 14333 points, main campus of Dragon City Martial Arts University.]

"Ji Sister seemed to have mentioned him to me before. Rumor has it he possesses a Martial Bone Dao Embryo, suspected to be Innate Nine Apertures... which is also a special kind of Martial Bone Dao Embryo."

Such people often have a fast rate of Opening the Acupoints.

Moreover, Li Fu himself has Intermediate root bone.

Such people, if they don’t die young, are surefire Grandmasters!

Although just a gatekeeper within the top 500, Lu Chenzhou was happy. Competing with Martial Artists, Special Level Martial Arts talents, and even Martial Arts geniuses, he had enough to be proud of.

During breakfast, his master called him.

[Ha ha ha, you made it to the top 500, I knew it!]

Old Ji was all smiles; good news came one after another.

He actually had a disciple amongst the top 500 of the Hidden Dragon List.

After Old Ji hung up, Lu Chenzhou received a transfer.

[Your account ending in 9527 has received a transfer of 500,000 from Ji Xuantong (Note: Top 500 reward, disciple, wait for you to reach the top 100 before I give you another big red envelope.)]

"Master..."

Lu Chenzhou was helpless.

Master was truly treating him like his own son.

It wasn’t long before.

Ji Feiyan’s congratulatory call also came bombing in.

[Damn, little brother, what did you do again?]

"I have perfected my Arhat Skill."

[...]

Before hanging up, Ji Feiyan joked, [I declare, from now on, you’re the leader of the Three Truths. When you make it big, little brother, don’t forget your two sisters!]

She was truly impressed by Lu Chenzhou, gradually understanding why Shi Ruyu always maintained a calm demeanor because Shi Ruyu was no longer surprised by anything.

Making it into the top 500 was a big deal; classmates familiar with Lu Chenzhou came to congratulate him. In the afternoon boxing class, Old Tian looked at him as if he had seen a ghost and said:

"Damn it, not even a rocket climbs as fast as you!"

Xiao He, the only student in the genius class ranked beyond a thousand on the Hidden Dragon List, felt absolute despair... to the point where it was the first time in his life he doubted whether he was a genius.

Wang Hongdao also came over to congratulate him proactively,

"Congratulations, our class now has two in the top 500."

He was ranked only slightly higher than Lu Chenzhou.

Breaking into the top 500 was extremely difficult.

Chen Xiaoyun said boastfully,

"Then it’s my turn next!"

Yao Cheng and Zhou Xingkong felt a strong sense of urgency.

In three days, the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition would witness the emergence of a dark horse.

During class,

Lu Chenzhou exercised diligently, practicing Tiger Spirit Divine Strike while maneuvering through the mechanism course with Tiger Shadow Mysterious Step. In this way, he could cultivate both martial arts skills simultaneously.

Li Gui watched calmly from the side.

Knowing that Lu Chenzhou had achieved perfection in Arhat Skill, he sighed with relief,

"The legal assistance tonight is now more secure."

...

At six in the evening, at Pingjiang Police Station.

Lu Chenzhou arrived as expected and entered the meeting room, where three figures in black plainclothes were already waiting. One of them, with a buzz cut, looked utterly surprised to see Lu Chenzhou, he happily exclaimed,

"Chenzhou?"

"Wang Gang?"

Lu Chenzhou was also somewhat surprised, not expecting Wang Gang to be invited as well.

But thinking about it, it made sense, as there were not many students from the Su City Martial Arts School who practiced hard qigong, and even fewer who had any fire control.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Wang Gang pointed to a man next to him and said,

"This is Luo Gang, he’s my Iron Crotch Skill teacher, a Ninth Rank expert."

Lu Chenzhou smiled faintly.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Luo."

Luo Gang stood up to shake hands, saying,

"Wang Gang always talks about you, Mr. Lu indeed has an extraordinary cross-training talent."

The last person was a slender, somewhat masculine and handsome woman.

Wang Gang introduced,

"This is Liu Ying, a rare female hard qigong cultivator, she’s my friend and is currently at Jiangnan Martial Arts University. I got into hard qigong because of her."

Turns out the room was full of hard qigong cultivators, all acquainted with Wang Gang.

The circle was small indeed, which was quite normal.

Lu Chenzhou couldn’t help but give Liu Ying another glance.

"A woman as capable as any man, impressive!"

Liu Ying smiled politely and said,

"My hard qigong comes from Wudang. Let’s add each other as friends—we could exchange our experiences... Wang Gang mentioned that he has never seen a cross-training marvel quite like you."

Lu Chenzhou felt helpless inside.

This Wang Gang, always exaggerating about him.

While on the task with Lu Chenzhou, Wang Gang said with a cheerful grin,

"Chenzhou, I’ve been busy preparing for my winter exams recently, haven’t had the time to cross-train with you. Your Arhat Skill must be nearing perfection, right?"

He knew that Lu Chenzhou’s hard qigong teacher was Iron Pine Dragon, a master from the Mystic List.

The sparring from such a strong figure was much more effective than his own.

Lu Chenzhou nodded,

"It’s already perfect."

Wang Gang’s face instantly showed an expression of surprise and envy,

"Damn, let me see your Golden Body."

A Ninth Rank cultivation and the perfected hard qigong, he couldn’t believe that this was the same Lu Chenzhou who he had outperformed on the field a year ago.

Now he was only Seventh Rank and had yet to grasp the Hua Realm.

Lu Chenzhou rolled up his sleeve, revealing an arm gleaming like gold.

The eyes of the three people present immediately fixed upon it.

Luo Gang was slightly startled and said,

"The golden light is translucent, naturally formed. This is indeed a Golden Body, not the golden light stained by Golden Jade Ointment... Mr. Lu truly is a cross-training genius."

Liu Ying’s pupils reflected the golden light:

"Truly strong."

She had diligently practiced Wudang’s Second Class qigong "Primordial Skill" for four years and was just achieving Great Success. According to Wang Gang, Lu Chenzhou had only been practicing "Arhat Skill" for one and a half years.

Is this the gap between individuals?

If her Martial Arts Will weren’t steadfast, she might have broken down.

Wang Gang passionately stroked Lu Chenzhou’s arm, unable to let go as if admiring a rare treasure. Lu Chenzhou saw that Wang Gang was almost drooling.

"Heh heh, heh heh... So this is the Arhat Golden Body."
