Chapter 227: 0166 New Year (4k)

The second day of the New Year.

Still slightly tipsy, Ji Xuantong didn’t go home last night but stayed at the villa. Martial Artists wouldn’t get drunk; he simply sought an excuse to release some pressure.

After breakfast, Ji Xuantong left.

At the door, Lu Chenzhou said,

"Master, I’ll go to the Martial Arts Academy to see everyone in a while."

"Good, take your two senior sisters with you."

Ji Xuantong left with healthy strides, humming a tune.

Li Xianghua was cleaning up the remnants of last night’s meal.

"Find some time to get your driver’s license as well, it’ll be convenient for you to drive."

"Mmm, that’s easy."

For someone who practices Martial Arts like him, getting a driver’s license wouldn’t take half a day. The difficulty of learning to drive is child’s play compared to boxing – many skills essentially test your reflexes.

No better day than today. After class, he scheduled a driving school appointment and passed that morning. In today’s era, such ordinary assessments are very efficient.

Returning home, Lu Chenzhou went to the Qi-Blood Measurement Room.

[Qi-Blood Value 7.11, congratulations, you have reached the Tenth Rank standard.]

"As expected, just a bit above the 6.19 standard. This is just Great Success; once I achieve Perfection, my Qi-Blood will be saturated, some of it even wasted."

is the upper limit of Qi-Blood before breaking the shackles.

Without Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, it’s hard to break through.

Not to mention that he didn’t have any, even if he did, he wouldn’t use such treasures just for this surplus Qi-Blood. Such invaluable items should be used in the later stages.

Leaving the measurement room, he made his way to Chen Jiu’s house.

Inside the practice room, there was another passionate teacher-student scene.

While teaching, Chen Jiu’s voice boomed like a bell:

"Your body should be like a furnace refining true gold; inhale and exhale with the demeanor of inner strength, tempering your Golden Body through a thousand hammerings and hundred foldings! Hold on, those who can endure the most bitter trials will stand above others!

When Golden Body Skill reaches Great Success, a Martial Artist, among those of the same realm in battle, can parry a spear leaving but a white mark, slash with a knife leaving but a white line. Even Dark Force can hardly breach the defense.

When Golden Body Skill reaches Perfection, later as a Martial Artist, you won’t need to keep circulating your Innate Strength to physically resist bullets – Vajra Unbreakable, Innate strength makes you invincible!

If you can master this skill, even True Skill Level Cross Training won’t be feared by you. Think of these, and you won’t feel the pain anymore. Don’t even cry out in pain!

Look at Lufang, kicking the Cult squad leader, punching and killing Great Void’s Wan Level, sweeping through Martial Arts Masters of the same realm unbeatable – your future will be no weaker than his!"

Chen Jiu’s words really worked.

Lu Chenzhou, fantasizing about his future, became even more determined. Without saying a word, he clenched his teeth and completed his daily "suffering" task, hellish to the utmost.

An hour later.

Chen Jiu sized up Lu Chenzhou, who was soaked in sweat, tapping and knocking on Chenzhou’s legs, palms, elbows, head, and other parts.

After a while, he expressed his surprise:

"How many times do you practice a day?"

"Teacher, I just practice once and didn’t dare to do more."

"Hiss... It seems your talent has yet to reach its limit."

Lu Chenzhou’s Cross Training Body was almost proficient.

It had only been forty days.

He inquired closely about Lu Chenzhou’s cultivation details.

"Mm, no signs of deviation... it’s your normal progress."

Damn, just how powerful is this kid’s Cross Training Talent?

He cleared his throat and said earnestly:

"I might have been a bit conservative before. With your current progress, within four years, your Golden Body Skill should reach Perfection. However, you should keep your cultivation time no longer than two hours. Later, if you can complete a practice in one and a half hours a day, you could increase it to twice a day for a total of three hours, which might boost your progress a bit."

He thought of saying within three years to reach Perfection but held back his words.

Let’s wait and see, as the Golden Body Skill will get harder in the later stages.

This lad probably had a solid foundation from the start, which led to such impressive progress.

...

The next day.

Dawn was breaking.

Lu Chenzhou opened his sleepy eyes.

[Eighteen Arhats Golden Body Skill: Beginner (82%)]

"In 10 days, I’ll be proficient."

He stood up and looked at himself in the mirror.

His upper body emitted a faint Golden Light, within which was a hint of noble purple – the lingering effect of the Purple Jade Ointment. The other parts of his body glowed with a light purple.

Even his member was surrounded by a faint purple halo.

"Just like the Arhat Skill, after Mastery, the Golden Body Skill will show the color of bluestone at Small Success, will be as black as iron at Great Success, will resemble reddish copper at Perfection, and will be like true gold... except the Golden Light of the Golden Body Skill is much richer than that of the Arhat Skill, and the thickness of the Golden Film is several times that of the former."

Lu Chenzhou turned on his phone.

[Your Hidden Dragon List points have increased by 3000, your ranking has risen to 470...]

"Three thousand points for just over a dozen places – after the top 500, progressing further is as difficult as reaching the heavens. However, I have already surpassed quite a few Martial Artists."

He looked back to see many who had titles; these people were generally between 30 and 35 years old, "older" Martial Artists with lower potential. Their future potential should be similar to the master’s; reaching the Second Rank in this lifetime would already be an achievement.

"Li Fu has also advanced, 469... I’m about to surpass him."

After peeking at Li Fu, Lu Chenzhou peeked at the other geniuses in the class.

"Wang Hongdao’s ranking hasn’t changed much; he’s still the gatekeeper."

"Zhou Xingkong has risen dozens of places, close to the top 500 now, must have reached the Tenth Rank. He stayed at the Ninth Rank for a long time; his foundation is deep, a natural outcome."

"Yao Cheng has fallen beyond the top 600. Lately, his performance hasn’t been good; I’m afraid he needs the Tenth Rank to make a comeback. He and Zhou have been inseparable; he must be nearing the Tenth Rank as well."

"Chen Xiaoyun, Leopard Woman, Old Tian also made some progress, all before 700... And this Xiao He, he’s the only one still beyond the 1,000 mark."

After checking, Lu Chenzhou worried for Xiao He; if he didn’t work hard to reach the Ninth Rank this year, Xiao He might be expelled from the genius class. Top Class root bone is not a panacea. Although Xiao He is a year younger than the others, his progress is still slow.
