Chapter 314: Chapter 257: PhD Studies (Request for Monthly Ticket)

Blue Star.

Blue Sea District Villa Number 69.

"That Gua Banxian seems to be just a mediocre player..."

"And to give me a divination... isn’t that seeking death?"

"Now that Mu Wanlong has completely retired, having personally killed Gua Banxian and severed his own arm, the Mu Family has nothing to say... That Fourth Rank Cave Mansion, at least, can still be inhabited for another hundred years."

"With this, it’s enough."

As for how the faction of Mu Wanlong declines, that no longer has anything to do with Fang Xing, after all, they are still enemies.

Fang Xing stood up, his body suddenly radiating a layer of reddish-golden color.

Within his body, the majestic and surging blood qi was like the Yangtze River, vast and roaring, seventy-two Evil Acupoints and twelve Gang Meridians roaring altogether.

Within the qi sea of his dantian, the ’Purple Pattern Longevity Golden Core’ turned once again, squeezing out a large amount of Immortal Material, granting his physique another enhancement.

In Fang Xing’s Spiritual Power senses, this Purple Pattern Golden Core had shrunk again, now resembling a grain of rice.

Yet its quality had reached an unimaginable extent.

"The Golden Core is at the Eighth Revolution... only one step away from the Great Vajra Realm."

A hint of satisfaction appeared on Fang Xing’s face.

His Martial Arts Golden Core foundation was robust, coupled with the accumulation from the Dragon Elephant Vajra Invincible Divine Power.

The cultivation within the Vajra Realm was equally smooth sailing.

Over these years, he hadn’t focused much on Martial Arts, nor had he purchased any auxiliary Cultivation items, yet his progress was extremely rapid.

Fang Xing thought, and the attribute panel instantly appeared:

[Name: Fang Xing]

[Age: 35]

[Profession: Immortal Martial Artist]

[Seventh Realm: Vajra (Eighth Revolution)]

[Dragon Tiger Stance: 800/800 (Grandmaster)]

[Star Martial Six Extremes: 732/1000 (Grandmaster)]

[Dragon Elephant Vajra Invincible Divine Power: 800/800 (Grandmaster)]

[Great Sun Tathagata Mantra: 125/400 (Master)]

[Heavenly Mother’s Mighty Golden Lotus Twin Guardian Manual: 1/400 (Master)]

[Great Sun Tathagata Divine Palm: 77/100 (Beginner)]

[Gate of All Heavens (Charging)]

...

These past years, he hadn’t been completely idle.

At the very least, he practiced martial arts daily, absorbing the essence of the interstellar martial arts competitions, and integrating it with his own Martial Arts.

Using this as a springboard, Fang Xing refined the ’Cross Breathing Method’, incorporating it into the Star Martial Four Extremes system.

Besides the ’Cross Breathing Method’, there was also his own simplified version of the Tathagata Divine Palm!

Although this set of Martial Arts, so far, only had Sky-covering Hand, Five-Finger Mountain, and Immortal Martial Unification Hand Seal, it was already sufficient.

Or rather, after creating the ’Immortal Martial Unification Hand Seal’, Fang Xing knew that unless his cultivation made another explosive advance in the future, it would be difficult to make further achievements above the simplified Tathagata Divine Palm.

However, this set of simplified Divine Palm could already be regarded as a complete Martial Arts system, integrated into the Star Martial Four Extremes.

After adding these two supreme techniques, the current name is ’Star Martial Six Extremes’!

In the future, various other Martial Arts will merge into it, until all aspects reach the Perfect Realm.

By that time, it will mean that Fang Xing’s Martial Arts have truly achieved Great Success, and he could be a Grandmaster!

’Grandmaster... is that really the limit of proficiency?’

Looking at the Star Martial Six Extremes’ clearly elevated skill proficiency cap, Fang Xing pondered.

’Originally the Grandmaster limit was 800, but it turned into 1000?’

’This change started after integrating the Cross Breathing Method and the simplified Divine Palm... The proficiency cap of Star Martial Six Extremes is two hundred more than the original Star Martial Four Extremes...’

’With the continual addition of Martial Arts in the future, this limit might continue to be broken...’

’Perhaps... when the proficiency of Star Martial Six Extremes reaches its full value, a whole new Realm will be entered?’

’What is that called? ’Great Grandmaster’?’

’However, these are all speculations, and it might not necessarily be achievable in the end.’

He looked at the last line and sighed somewhat.

Although the Gate of All Heavens had devoured some sects’ Sacrificial Tools, no significant changes had occurred.

It seemed... like these were just a drop in the bucket.

"Fortunately, I have lived long enough and will always be able to wait for that day..."

Fang Xing looked at his own Eight Revolutions Golden Body, falling into deep thought.

Time flies, and now he has finished half of his graduate studies, while people like Song Jingang have already graduated.

As for those high school classmates?

Quite possibly, some of them had already retired.

"In the end, I’m still just a tender graduate student..."

Fang Xing circulated his Golden Core, the golden light on his body dimming significantly.

Utilizing the characteristics of an [Immortal Martial Artist], he converted half his blood qi into mana, making him now appear to be just an ordinary, newly-entered Vajra Realm Martial Artist with an even less impressive foundation.

’Mana is appearing in the Main Universe for the first time, naturally there are no specific instruments or detection methods yet...’

"Using this method to conceal one’s cultivation is quite useful,"

Fang Xing donned a Nano Suit and headed to the backyard of the villa.

A private spaceship had long been waiting.

"Master, Little Blue is at your service."

The spaceship’s hatch automatically opened, revealing a sweet female voice.

"Let’s go, to Blue Star University!"

Fang Xing entered his private spaceship and a stream of bright light immediately shot into the sky.

Before long, they arrived at the landing pad of Blue Star University.

"Is that a private spacecraft?"

"How impressive, must be some rich tycoon, right?"

"No, look how young that person is, probably a second-generation wealthy heir..."

...

Years passed, and batch after batch of students at Blue Star University changed.

Some of them looked at Fang Xing’s spacecraft landing with envious eyes.

"Even if it’s top at the national college entrance examination every year... when there’s an abundance of something, it certainly becomes less valuable."

"Even that champ ’Lan Shi,’ who was once famed as the strongest in the Sixth Realm... didn’t he also fade into obscurity after a few years?"

Fang Xing wasn’t interested in showing off.

He walked with his hands behind his back, a golden sun manifesting behind him like a long, golden rainbow, and arrived at a cultivation room.

"A high-level Martial Arts Golden Core expert!?"

Those freshmen and sophomores couldn’t help but gape at this spectacle.

...

Inside the cultivation room.

An elder in a Zhongshan suit, with a gentle demeanor, looked at Fang Xing: "Not bad, you’ve broken through to the Vajra Realm?"

He was Fang Xing’s graduate supervisor, Martial Saint Nie Ying.

"Yes, Supervisor."

Fang Xing slightly bowed.

Speaking of which, this was the first time he had met his supervisor in person.

"Breaking through to Vajra Realm is quite good..."

Nie Ying smiled lightly, appearing very serene.

He could tell that Fang Xing’s foundation was somewhat shaky, just barely managing the Eighth Revolutions Golden Body.

If one had accumulated well during the Martial Arts Golden Core phase and prepared adequately, advancing directly to the third or fourth level of Golden Core, or even to the sixth or seventh, marked a true Martial Arts genius.

"I must also thank you, Supervisor, for introducing me to those research groups, especially Professor Gu... they were a great help."

Fang Xing habitually offered a few modest words: "Additionally, the Star Martial Tournament provided me with many inspirations and resources, too."

"Hmm... Even so, breaking through to the Vajra Realm is quite commendable."

Nie Ying said, "Are you planning to continue on to a doctoral program?"

Fang Xing smiled: "Indeed... I wonder if you’d be willing to continue supervising this student?"

In the Main Universe, the education system was somewhat different. As the vice-chancellor, Nie Ying was qualified to supervise doctoral students.

For him, graduate students were like registered disciples.

Doctoral students, on the other hand, were official disciples.

"Being able to break through to the Vajra Realm during your graduate studies shows you have good aptitude and comprehension..." Nie Ying said: "Although you rushed into the Vajra Realm a bit, a martial artist should act decisively and have the determination to push through difficulties... well then, I’ll continue to teach you. Your Martial Arts already have their own path, just keep enhancing them, which actually saves me quite a bit of trouble."

"Thank you, Supervisor," Fang Xing’s face showed a trace of a smile.

"After the Vajra Realm comes the Martial Saint. Practicing Dragon Elephant Vajra Invincible Divine Power, your Golden Body has a potential of at least Seventh Revolutions... I expect you to at least cultivate an Eight Revolutions Golden Body before breaking through to Martial Saint... As for the Great Vajra Realm and the Leakproof Golden Body, there’s no need to force it..."

Nie Ying spoke seriously: "Also, doctoral students differ from graduate students as they can initiate their own research projects and engage in practical research. Of course, the most crucial thing is... you can now plan for your future ’Mecha.’"

"Mecha?"

Fang Xing’s face showed considerable interest.

"Below a Martial Saint, they are all standard Mechas, just choose the compatible modules and assemble them..."

Nie Ying continued earnestly: "After becoming a Martial Saint, the Mechas are custom-built, which is extremely expensive... At the same time, Martial Artists are ultimately different from Mecha Masters, as we can’t cultivate the ’Light of the Spiritual.’ Hence, there are special techniques to operate Mechas, which you need to train in advance... Otherwise, once on the battlefield, even with a Mecha enhancement, it would be hard to break through to the Ninth Realm..."

Fang Xing showed a receptive expression.

"There are many types of Mechas, for example, our Blue Star University’s Martial Saints are better suited for the ’Great Sun Series,’ which matches perfectly with their Armored Martial and Tathagata Divine Palm..."

"This classification is from the perspective of the cultivation system... If distinguishing by the operator, it can be divided into ’Single-body flow,’ ’Group-mech flow’... that is, the difference between one person operating a Mecha and a group of people operating a Mecha..."

"If distinguishing by external appearance, there are humanoid Mechas, beast-shaped Mechas, and so on..."

"All these fall under the category of Technology Mecha. Besides these, there are also ’Biological Mechas,’ and even ’Spiritual Ability Mechas,’ crafted with special materials..."

Nie Ying briefly expanded, before summarizing: "The best Mecha is the one that suits you... But how do you know what’s suitable? You can only discover this by engaging and trying it out... This is a significant task, if you have the heart of a Martial Saint, you should start preparing now."

’Indeed... being a Mecha Master is truly a privileged profession in the Blue Star Federation, with so many intricacies?’

Fang Xing thought to himself but showed a serious demeanour as if attentively listening: "I understand."

"A good Mecha often accompanies a martial artist throughout their life... If it is a Technology Mecha, it also requires extensive logistic and maintenance support..."

Nie Ying seemed to recall some unpleasant memories, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly: "Okay... When you are at the Vajra Realm, it’d be best to seek external assignments to gather resources and build a network, forming a professional Mecha team serving your own needs... Furthermore, this secret text is also essential for your study."

Fang Xing’s Little Blue promptly notified him that he had received a secret book.

"A true Mecha Master operates Mechas using ’Light of the Spiritual’... Since we martial artists don’t possess the Light of the Spiritual, we need an alternative approach, controlling Mechas with ’Will Secret Pattern’... You must know, any manual operation is far inferior to the speed of mental and willful operations..."

Nie Ying solemnly advised: "Without a Mecha, a martial artist isn’t considered powerful. You must master this volume on ’Will Secret Pattern’..."
