Chapter 62: Chapter 62 Dragon Elephant Skill (Please Bookmark)

"Body Refining Martial Arts?"

Xia Long looked at Fang Xing with some surprise, "Kid... you’ve got quite the ambition."

"Hm? I just want some extra self-defense ability, where am I being ambitious?"

Fang Xing was a bit puzzled.

"You don’t know?"

Xia Long explained, "After the Martial Arts Golden Core, comes the ’Vajra Realm’! Martial Artists of this realm can refine immortal material from their Golden Core to strengthen their physique, creating the ’Unleakable Golden Body’! With each revolution of the Golden Core, the forged Golden Body becomes even stronger... With the Golden Core Nine Revolutions, once the Golden Body reaches Great Success, it’s known as the ’Great Vajra Realm’, unbeatable under the Martial Saint!"

"Martial Arts Seventh Realm—Vajra Realm?" Fang Xing contemplated, "So... if I start training in Body Refining Martial Arts in advance, can it lay the foundation for the Great Vajra Realm?"

Xia Long thought he was looking for Body Refining Martial Arts to lay the foundation for the Vajra Realm, but he was mistaken.

He purely felt the Cultivation World was a bit dangerous and just wanted to increase his self-preservation abilities.

"Exactly... The higher the number of Golden Core revolutions, the stronger you’ll be when advancing to Martial Saint! Below Golden Core Third Revolutions, there’s hardly any chance of advancing to Martial Saint..."

Xia Long looked at Fang Xing, with an undisclosed thought in his eyes. After a pause, he spoke again, "The school doesn’t have such Body Refining techniques in their curriculum, but if you want to learn, I can teach you a Martial Arts technique that I’ve personally studied..."

"How could I accept that?" Fang Xing scratched his head, knowing full well that a private lesson from Xia Long could cost tens of thousands, but with the opportunity right in front of him, he had to seize it. If nothing else, he could later focus on getting into a top-tier university and give Xia Long a chance to repair his hidden injuries and advance his Golden Core, "May I know which Martial Arts technique it is?"

"A-grade Martial Arts—Dragon Elephant Skill!"

Xia Long said seriously, "The dragon is the supreme being of the skies, and the elephant is the land’s foremost creature. When the power of the dragon and elephant combine, they’re unbeatable!"

"Quite the claim..." Fang Xing was clearly skeptical.

Just an A-grade Martial Arts technique, and he’s boasting like this?

"Hmm, it is a bit of an exaggeration, but it does have its merits. This skill can condense vital energy into ’Dragon Scale Elephant Armor’—its defense is extremely high, and it significantly enhances strength... It definitely ranks near the top among A-grade Body Refining Martial Arts."

Xia Long hinted, "What’s key is that its legacy is structured. The Dragon Elephant Skill of the A-grade Martial Arts is just the foundation. Once you break through to the Rough Jade Realm, you can then practice the S-grade Martial Arts—’Great Vajra Wisdom Divine Power’. If you can combine these two great Martial Arts with supreme wisdom, you can advance to the ’Dragon Elephant Vajra Invincible Divine Power’! This technique is incredibly strong. Once mastered, there won’t be any issues until Golden Core Third Revolutions; at its peak, it can push the Golden Core to Six or Seven Revolutions..."

"Although you are not a Martial Arts Golden Core, Teacher, you sure know a lot about it!" Fang Xing gave a thumbs up.

Xia Long glanced at him sideways, "Even though the teacher is not a Martial Arts Golden Core, I am a Professional. As long as one is a certified Professional, with increased access rights, such information becomes open... The Federation doesn’t let you know because they fear it will distract you, after all, not everyone is a genius."

Fang Xing became thoughtful.

Indeed, if other students were aware of this and aimed for the Golden Core or even higher realms for the future, they would probably need to practice several A-grade Martial Arts, but how could they manage to do so? It could actually be harmful instead!

Only after reaching the Martial Arts Fourth Realm, when one’s life span significantly extends, is it possible to prepare for the Golden Core or higher realms.

Therefore, information blockage at the bottom tier, made accessible to the middle tier, isn’t exactly wrong.

"Alright, after all this talking, do you want to learn the ’Dragon Elephant Skill’ or not?" Xia Long was getting impatient.

"Learn, of course, I’ll learn!"

Fang Xing quickly nodded. He didn’t believe that he wouldn’t even be able to condense a Martial Arts Golden Core; laying the foundation early was necessary.

Besides, this Martial Arts technique obviously could enhance his defense, which was absolutely essential for survival!

"Alright, look at this image!"

Xia Long opened his personal Communication Device and projected an image.

It was a Vajra Bodhisattva with a dragon’s head. The figure had a human body with a Five-Colored Lotus Crown, wore garments of the Eight Divisions’ celestial dragons, had three faces and six arms holding six treasures: a lotus, a purification vial, a Demon-Subduing Pestle, a Golden Bowl, a Zen Stick, and Prayer Beads. Below sat a six-tusked white elephant, covered in lotus patterns with strands of jade beads hanging down.

At first glance, Fang Xing felt a complete sense of a Vajra’s perfection hitting him, and even the tip of his nose seemed to be surrounded by a faint sandalwood aroma.

"Aren’t you awake yet?!"

Suddenly, he heard an explosive sound in his ear.

Fang Xing jolted awake, his blurry vision finding focus instantly, and then he was startled, "How long... was I engrossed?"

"Ten minutes... Do you understand now? For those who have not truly comprehended the realm, practicing such techniques is very dangerous..."

Xia Long said solemnly, "Although the Dragon Elephant Skill is only an A-grade Martial Arts, its danger is extremely high, far exceeding that of the Soul Searching Dragon Claw Hand... To begin, you need to envision the Dragon Elephant Vajra Bodhisattva in your mind with an intent of Great Perfection, to stimulate the spirit, and then circulate the vital energy... If it weren’t for the fact that you’ve already started nourishing your Mud Pill Palace, just entering this step could have been a stumbling block for you!"

He began to describe the secrets to entering the gates of this Martial Arts, and at the end said, "And... all Body Refining Martial Arts have one drawback, they waste resources! Unless you’re naturally extremely compatible with this technique, if you want rapid progress, you’ll have to consume medicines, constantly consume medicines... Suitable Body Refining Potions for the Dragon Elephant Skill include ’Whale-Elephant Ointment’, ’Kunpeng Blood’, and so on..."

Fang Xing searched online and found that Whale-Elephant Ointment was a special product of a certain ocean planet, where the ’Whale-Elephants’ were extremely large, containing a kind of precious spice in their bodies that could stimulate a Martial Artist’s physique.

As for ’Kunpeng’?

That was a Leviathan Level creature discovered by the Federation Fleet, also known as ’Cosmic Whale’, a terrifying colossal beast that could survive in space with its flesh, its adult size comparable to some small planets!

"This... Whale-Elephant Ointment is hundreds of thousands for a box, I might think of something, but let’s forget about the Kunpeng Blood... I haven’t even found a place that sells it."

Fang Xing had a blank expression.

"Kid, now you see how powerful it is?" Xia Long started smiling proudly, but then his expression turned serious, "I have half a box of ’Whale-Elephant Ointment’ that’s no use to me anymore, I can give it to you as a personal reward this time... I hope you will perform well in the Federation Hundred Stars Examination at the end of your sophomore year!"

The Federation Hundred Stars Examination!

It was a test jointly organized by more than a hundred educational planets near the Chuying Star in the Black Mountain Star System, known as the biggest rehearsal before the college entrance examination!

It generally targets sophomores in high school, serving as their final exam.

"I’ll try my best..."

Fang Xing suddenly felt the weight of it and dared not promise to achieve good results.

The reason was simple, in cities like Fengye City on Chuying Star alone there were over ten thousand!

Within a city, the worst might have only one high school while the better ones had several, totaling tens of thousands of high schools!

Hundreds of planets amounted to millions of high schools.

A single grade in high school usually had about a thousand students, so the participants in the Hundred Stars Joint Exam numbered in the tens of billions!

Hundreds of planets, tens of billions of people!

Among them, how many geniuses? How many strokes of luck?

They had become dime a dozen!

Even now, as Fang Xing had already comprehended the realm, with his remarkable talent, he was sure to find others like him among the tens of billions!

Moreover, there were the wealthy heirs who pursued professions as Mecha Masters, Mind Masters, Beast Masters, or those with extraordinary luck who awakened special powers as Superpower Users!

Geniuses were as common as carp crossing a river; such was the Hundred Stars Joint Exam!

And the cruelty of the Hundred Stars Joint Exam, it was certain, was incomparable to the college entrance exam by a long shot!

’No wonder the Federation scholarships aren’t too generous, with so many educational planets... if they were all given out... that really would be terrifying...’

In that moment, Fang Xing had a deep understanding of the Blue Star Federation’s policies; it was right not to allocate too many resources to educational planets.

Otherwise, the Federation might not be able to sustain it.

Therefore, one must compete!

Countless examinees were like gu being cultivated, and only those who eventually got into college were worth cultivating!

It was worth mentioning that once admitted to college, the Federation didn’t care whether it was due to an accumulation of resources or other methods.

Because having enough resources to invest was a talent in itself!

’Alas... in the end, it’s still all about being too poor!’

Fang Xing sighed inwardly and resumed his silent study of the ’Dragon Elephant Skill’.

...

Snowflakes danced wildly in the air.

Time flew by without notice, and another semester came to an end.

[Written Exam Score: 912 points (Total: 1000)]

[Practical Combat Score: 100 points (Total: 100)]

[Composite Score: 191.2 (Composite Ranking: 1)]

...

Looking at his scorecard, Fang Xing nodded, "Life is indeed as lonely as snow..."

Not to mention academics, in the martial arts practical exam, many classmates who knew he had mastered the realm conceded defeat directly.

For the occasional stubborn ones, it was just a matter of a glance.

Liu Wei and Bai Lianyi both conceded without hesitation, making it easy for him to obtain that perfect score.

It was worth mentioning that Ouyang Qianqian still bravely challenged him, then fainted and was carried to the infirmary...

"Classmates, see you next term, I hope you work hard during the winter break, and don’t waste your youth!"

After Principal Lu Guangming’s speech, Fang Xing left the school, casting a glance at his attribute bar:

[Second Realm: Sinews and Bones (Bone Forging: 99/100)]

’Good, bone forging is nearing its limit... next is the breakthrough.’

For him, breaking through the Rough Jade Realm had never been an issue.

Even after the Rough Jade Realm, he would still be able to make rapid progress.

’Just right, I’ll go to the Otherworld to make a breakthrough...’

’And see what Qinglin Square has turned into...’

Fang Xing was still somewhat curious about that Secret Realm.

Of course, he definitely wouldn’t go on an adventure himself, but after the Secret Realm event concluded, he could slowly inquire...
