Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Dragon-Elephant Breaks Through the Ranks (Congratulations to Alliance Hierarch, the Most Beloved Xiaoqin)

Top-grade cave mansion.

Fang Xing fiddled with a storage bag in his hand, feeling somewhat emotional, "I never expected that the things I sold would come back to me..."

Without thinking, it was obvious that the top-grade magic artifacts he had sold were probably in Old Ghost Long’s storage bag.

"This trip out to watch the drama didn’t involve me taking action, yet I earned quite a bit... This is what they call ’the skillful warrior achieves no remarkable success.’"

He looked at the spiritual contract in his hand, and his smile grew even wider.

This second-rank spiritual contract was made from some kind of material that gave it a leather-like feel, about the size of an ordinary page, surrounded by various strange and complex patterns.

In the center were the conditions written with Su Ye’s own essence blood, which included additional ’compensation’ of twenty-five bottles of ’Boiling Blood,’ a promise to take him out of Qinglin Square, and a vow never to seek revenge, among other things...

At the bottom were the signatures of Su Ye and the intermediary, Han Qingyun.

Crucially, Fang Xing hadn’t signed it! This was a one-sided contract limiting Su Ye!

Fang Xing wasn’t exactly eager to leave Qinglin Square.

Bringing Han Qingyun into the picture was merely to give Han Qingyun and Hua Feiyue a chance to leave the square.

He always treated his own people quite well.

And since Su Ye previously tried to manipulate him, agreeing to kill the Green Rock Bulls would surely have lead to a fall out with the three Qi Cultivation Practitioners at Perfect completion, which was very dangerous.

Therefore, Fang Xing had no qualms about taking advantage of someone in a desperate situation—this was the compensation Su Ye should give!

"After running around for so long, I’m a bit hungry again..."

Fang Xing set up a grill and started to barbecue slices of beef.

This beef came from the Green Rock Bulls. Although most of the flesh was for Su Ye’s alchemy, he, being greedy, had chopped off a bull’s leg for himself to eat.

Given the Green Rock Bull’s height of seven or eight meters, one front leg was enough to last him quite a while.

The flesh of a second-rank demon beast naturally had extraordinary effects, even the taste was extremely satisfying.

Paired with spices from the Blue Star Federation, there was no need to elaborate.

Fang Xing even had to use a talisman to mask the scent within the courtyard to avoid attracting nearby demon beasts!

He picked up a skewer of grilled beef and saw that a fist-sized piece of beef had been threaded onto a metal skewer, sprinkled with spices and dripping with fat.

"Good, this is the right way to enjoy meat..."

Such a rugged method, yet when eaten, the flavor felt particularly delicate, and the beef was so thick and tough that anyone who wasn’t a body refining practitioner probably wouldn’t have such strong teeth to enjoy it.

Fang Xing, who naturally had a big appetite, felt almost full after eating just one skewer of beef.

Not only that, but he also noticed a surge of qi and blood throughout his body, as if he was taking body refining elixirs, and he hastily started to practice the Hidden Tiger Stance.

Half an hour later.

[Hidden Tiger Stance: 80/200 (Skilled)]

Looking at the increased proficiency of Hidden Tiger Stance, Fang Xing’s face was full of joy, "The effect of this second-rank demon beast meat is so remarkable? Not only that, it’s also completely natural and pollution-free, free from the slightest trace of elixir toxicity..."

"Plus, with the ’Boiling Blood’ that’s still being refined, the second-rank demon beast really is a treasure all over! It’s a pity... they are difficult to kill."

...

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was the start of a new school term.

Chuying Star.

Happy Home District.

Fang Xing stood up and looked at himself in the mirror.

He saw a young man with sharp eyebrows and star-like eyes, his skin a healthy jade-yellow color, having grown a bit taller, with a body perfectly sculpted with every inch seemingly containing terrifying power.

"Dragon Elephant Skill, First Level, achieved!"

He reached out his hand and the Blood Refining Magical Artifact, Tiger Evil Blade, landed in his palm.

It was as if the roar of a mighty tiger came from the void, and a blade light heavily chopped onto his shoulder, then collapsed with a bang!

In this period of time, he had been living in a cave mansion with rich spiritual energy, consuming Spirit Rice and second-rank demon beast meat daily, advancing in martial arts at the speed of ’a thousand miles in a day.’

Once Su Ye duly delivered the twenty-five bottles of ’Boiling Blood,’ his proficiency in Dragon Elephant Skill rocketed like a firework.

Yesterday night, he just had his breakthrough to the First Level and entered the ’Skilled’ tier!

With this level of ’Dragon Elephant Skill,’ even the defense simply from ’Dragon Scale Elephant Armor’ was enough to not fear ordinary low-grade magic artifacts.

"This way, if it reaches the ’Master’ tier, it will be able to ignore intermediate magic artifacts... and when it reaches the ’Grandmaster’ level, it can ignore all magic artifacts, only Foundation Establishment cultivators’ spiritual artifacts can penetrate its defense, isn’t this the strength of a second-rank body cultivator?"

With such thoughts, Fang Xing felt somewhat terrified.

’Dragon Elephant Skill’ is only an A-grade martial art. Its threshold is Sinew and Bone Realm, equivalent to postnatal warriors from another world, not even a cultivator!

"This means a mere mortal can have the power of a second-rank body refinement... In the cultivation world, that’s a monster, but in the Blue Star Federation, it’s only considered a small prodigy..."

"Not to mention, above the grandmaster tier of ’Dragon Elephant Skill,’ there should be another realm..."

"Moreover, now that I’ve reached the Rough Jade Realm, I can barely start with S-grade martial arts. If I were to master the ’Great Vajra Wisdom Divine Power,’ how awe-inspiring would it be?"

This is the advantage of Blue Star Martial Arts!

Even at the same realm, the variety of martial arts allows martial artists from Blue Star to possess far greater power than those from other worlds!

Whether it’s defense, speed, or strength... all are surpassing in all dimensions, truly hexagon-shaped warriors!

"With the Dragon Elephant Skill being skilled, my strength has grown significantly..."

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

His original defense started with the outermost level being an Immortal Cultivation World Talisman, followed by a Nano Protective Suit, inside was the Dragon Scale Elephant Armor, and finally his own physique—Jade Skin Xuan Flesh, Willow Sinews and Steel Bones!

Previously, with four layers combined, he could withstand a few attacks from top-grade magic artifacts, allowing him to slaughter amidst the bombardment of early and mid-stage Qi Cultivation practitioners.

Now, with the upgraded Dragon Elephant Skill, it’s likely he could resist more than a dozen attacks from top-grade magic artifacts.

Even if surrounded by several Qi Cultivation Late Stagers or even Perfect Qi Cultivators, Fang Xing could hold on for a moment.

That amount of time would be enough for a Martial Artist to kill many enemies multiple times.

If he were to advance to the Mastery level in Dragon Elephant Skill, then he would be almost invincible in Qi Cultivation, and any number of Perfect Qi Cultivators coming at him would be heading to their deaths.

If he rose to the Master level, he would be a Second Rank Body Refining Practitioner, and could even try exchanging blows with a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

"The ’Boiling Blood’ potion still has plenty left, the days of happiness beckon from the future..."

Fang Xing sighed with emotion and began to silently process his messages.

On an ordinary phone, they were all mundane greetings from classmates; he made sure to check, discovering there were none from Gu Yun.

However, his fishing plan should have already been successful, it seems he would have to subtly inquire after returning to school, being careful not to be too deliberate.

It was the messages on the black market communication device that were interesting though.

"Zhang Jiarui from the Blood Cage Fighting Arena again?"

He glanced through and found that the first few messages were texts.

From "Handsome, feeling lonely? Want to watch a thrilling and blood-pumping performance?"

To "Coach Ping really misses you... she has a few secret moves of the ’Extreme Emotion Sword’ to share..."

These were still rather normal.

But the later ones were somewhat off.

"The dogs from the Prevention and Control Bureau have been sweeping the black market again recently, so boring..."

"There are some interesting new things in the black market, do you want to check them out, handsome?"

"I’m going to be transferred... the black market here is too chaotic..."

"Transferred? I wonder where she will go?"

Fang Xing pondered, a wry smile spreading across his face. That Zhang Jiarui obviously held a non-trivial position in the Blood Cage Fighting Arena; wherever she was being transferred, it was not something he needed to worry about.

Furthermore, being able to discern the tricky situation in the black market and then being transferred out at the first opportunity was what many people longed for but could not achieve.

’This is bragging, right? It must be a boast?’

After thinking for a bit, Fang Xing decided not to reply.

Since his source for the Body Refining Elixirs was secured, he had no need to go to the black market in the near future. So, he intended to reduce entanglements and avoid the potential of exposure.

"The most important thing now is for school to start tomorrow. If I reveal the Rough Jade Realm, then I can request to learn ’Great Vajra Wisdom Divine Power’... It’s an S-tier Martial Arts skill, a level higher than A-tier, with further advancements, perfectly compatible with the Dragon Elephant Skill!"

"If I could gain entry to this S-tier Martial Arts and even advance it to a high level, I might be able to burst-kill Foundation Establishment elite cultivators with my Rough Jade Realm!"

He made plans while preparing himself a pot of Spirit Rice Porridge with the rice cooker for breakfast.

Once finished with his meal, he slowly made his way out.

The bitingly cold early spring still enveloped the riverbank, leaving the streets along the river sparsely populated.

Fang Xing’s mind wandered as he walked, his attention focused on the attribute panel:

...

"The progress I’ve made over winter break is astonishing! This is all thanks to the top-grade spiritual energy cave mansion, the meat of Second Rank Demon Beasts, and the Boiling Blood potion..."

"With all this in mind, by the end of this term, before the Hundred Stars Examination, I’ll surely achieve the Fourth Realm!"

Martial Arts Fourth Realm — the Courage Realm!

This realm is where one opens the Mud Pill Palace, awakens Spiritual Powers, and does what others cannot. Martial Artists are only truly considered seasoned and can be termed ’Martial Artist’ upon reaching this step, eligible for professional certification and Citizen Level advancement.

To break through the Martial Arts Fourth Realm in high school would be to be a genius among geniuses!

One might even get into a top university without exams.

Normal universities, second-tier universities, top-tier universities... each level of university is entirely different, and the resources available are incomparable.

However, Fang Xing’s current goal is naturally the super top-tier universities.

"My first choice — Blue Star University, and it so happens I also want to buy a property there..."

While it seemed like a bother to buy a property, it was the former host’s dying wish, and Fang Xing would make sure to fulfill it if he could, to put an end to the obsession.

Lost in thought, a dog-walking beauty approached from the opposite direction: "Young Master Fang..."

"Captain Jing Xia..."

Fang Xing greeted her politely, "How has your winter break been?"

"Not so great..."

A melancholy look crossed Jing Xia’s face, "Who knows where those bastards came from, dropping alien products in the black market, causing big trouble with the higher-ups. I’m even more infuriated!"
