Tendons and Bones Realm, An Unexpected Strike

The monthly exam for the Martial Arts students had a 56-page test paper in the morning covering subjects like Math, Chinese, History, and Geography.

Many third-year students, seeing the thick stack of exam papers, would say, "Only a hundred points in total, I'll take it!"

In reality, they were all competing fiercely, doing practice problems at an insane rate, as if they wished they had two more hands to write with.

After a whole morning of intense testing, A low, mournful atmosphere of crying and shouting permeated almost the entire teaching building.

At noon, Li Xijun naturally ate in the school cafeteria.

Although it wasn't as delicious or nutritious as the medicinal cuisine in the Da Sheng World, He could now afford the 399 yuan nutritional meal set at the school cafeteria, which was much better than the hundred-yuan nutritional paste he used to have.

After a brief lunch break, The third-year class six martial arts students were once again full of energy.

According to past monthly exams, to test the students' actual martial arts proficiency, Instead of having students spar against each other like before, the teachers would fight each student individually and give scores based on their performance.

Of course, the teachers responsible for the tests usually only used a Blood Essence Level of 9.0 for speed and strength during the assessments.

However, When the students of third-year class six entered the classroom, they all wore expressions of stunned disbelief.

This was because the person standing on the martial arts sparring stage was not Zhang Haifeng, But rather the long-legged older sister teacher, Su Nianying, who had left a deep impression on all the teachers and students that morning.

And beside her, holding a notebook and writing, seemingly recording scores, was Su Nianyi, the girl who had held the top position in the grade since the start of the semester.

Everyone looked at the cool demeanor of the long-legged older sister with the dark purple ponytail, and then at the quiet, gentle girl with purple waist-length hair, holding a drawing notebook with a calm expression.

They immediately confirmed the truth of the rumors: these two great beauties were indeed a pair of sisters!

"Teacher Zhang is sick, so I'm here to substitute this afternoon."

Su Nianying glanced at Su Nianyi, who was sitting on a small stool not far away, holding her drawing notebook, and spoke.

This caused Zhang Haifeng, who was arriving late and about to enter, to silently withdraw his right hand from the doorknob and flee back to the office to recuperate without looking back.

For an old hand like him: if an Outer Scenery Expert says you're sick, then you're sick even if you're not.

The students in the class naturally didn't care about this.

Instead, they excitedly went up to the stage for sparring according to the list displayed on the big screen.

However, The students who went up one by one for sparring generally showed no remarkable performance.

Except for Ye Liuyun, who stayed on stage a little longer and was finally commented on by Su Nianying as "having grasped the true meaning of the Flowing Water Stacked Waves Method,"

Most others were sent off the stage by Su Nianying with a single kick after just a few moves.

The sparring list continued until the end, Li Xijun's name and Blood Essence Level were displayed on the big screen.

It seemed that he, who was appearing last, was not as relaxed as he was during his previous match against Zhou Yibai.

Instead, he immediately activated his Divine Soul, cautiously testing his footwork and brewing his attack.

"If you don't make a move, then I'll go first."

As soon as Su Nianying finished speaking, she attacked silently, throwing a punch that landed in front of Li Xijun.

"Bang!"

If any other student were attacked by Su Nianying's punch, they would have already been knocked off the stage.

But Li Xijun managed to capture the trajectory of her punch at 0.5 times the speed.

However, with his Blood Essence Level of 6.4, his speed still couldn't match Su Nianying's at 9.0 Blood Essence Level, so he could only barely block with his arm.

Even so, the 1000 kilograms of punching force at 9.0 Blood Essence Level made his left arm and chest ache, and he felt a bit breathless.

"Not bad, these sharp eyes are indeed good!"

Seeing the starlight under Li Xijun's iris, Su Nianying felt that her sister's decision to drag her here was the right one!

"You all must remember, Martial Arts is meant for killing. Whether it's fist techniques or saber techniques, the faster and more unexpected the attack, the better the effect!"

The cool older sister, who had only said one sentence since the sparring began, seemed to have become interested and began to explain to the young man in front of her.

"Swish!"

As she spoke, she instantly kicked out powerfully, her angle precise.

Even though Li Xijun had captured the trajectory, he couldn't dodge it and could only brace himself for the impact.

If nothing unexpected happened, he would be kicked off the stage by this move.

However, the sharp pain in his left side just now had made his Blood Essence incredibly active, leading Li Xijun to consider using the opponent's attack to hone his breakthrough to the Skin and Flesh unity.

In an instant, his stance changed, and he stirred his internal Blood Essence. His Spirit Solidification Realm Divine Soul's thoughts instinctively focused on the flesh and skin of his own body.

"Bang—!"

A dull thudding sound, like hitting a sandbag, echoed through the classroom.

Feeling his skin and flesh grow more and more pleased, Li Xijun felt a sense of comfort spread from the point of impact throughout his body.

'Is this speed of progress so great that I have time to cultivate old era external martial arts?'

Su Nianying tilted her head slightly, wondering why Li Xijun would spend his free time practicing the hard qigong of hardening the skin, a technique from the old era.

But seeing that Li Xijun had clearly made a breakthrough, she didn't dwell on these minor details. Instead, she planned to seize the opportunity to help him break through this stage.

"Swish!"

The next moment, Su Nianying's figure seemed to disappear from everyone's sight.

Only Li Xijun caught her trajectory, but he saw the continuous barrage of fists raining down like a flower shower.

He decisively repeated his previous action, gathering his Blood Essence and Divine Soul thoughts onto the injuries inflicted by the opponent.

Like a reef in the sea, his entire body was battered by wave after wave of attacks, yet he stubbornly held his ground.

Not only that, but his internal Blood Essence became even more active. As his blood flowed, it was like the surging and churning of a great river.

Until, at a certain moment, his skin and flesh seemed to melt, fusing into a single unit. Streams of heat flowed from his skin and flesh into the deeper Tendons and Bones within his body.

[Your Martial Arts System: Skin and Flesh Realm, upgraded from 99% to 100%.]

[Your Martial Arts System: Tendons and Bones Realm, upgraded from 0% to 1%.]

The moment the messages appeared in his field of vision, Li Xijun felt the Blood Essence flow and circulate smoothly throughout his body, making his skin and flesh incredibly tough.

When Su Nianying's fist struck him again, the force that had previously caused him intense pain was instantly diffused by a third, like a mud ox entering the sea.

This instantly shifted him from passively receiving damage to having the possibility of counterattacking.

Captured in the 'bullet time' of 0.5x speed, He seized the gap between the opponent's 1000kg punch being thrown and retracted.

In an instant, As the observing students were exclaiming, "Brother Li is truly a legendary tank!"

The young man's palm, drifting down like wings, lightly and without any trace of worldly flair, slipped through the opponent's opening and landed on Su Nianying's chest.

"Clang!"

A crisp sound, like metal striking metal, reverberated throughout the entire classroom, instantly silencing the previously buzzing atmosphere.
