Heavenly Gifted Martial Sense

Jiang Feng stared fixedly at Chu Kuang's retreating back. He decisively used his smart wristband to apply for an interest-free loan and then purchased a Source Energy Potion.

Originally, Jiang Feng had planned to use this money only after securing a spot in the Top 100 in Grade.

His plan was to go into the Dark Domain and use its Source Energy to help his Brute Ox Technique reach completion. This would allow him to maintain his position in the top two of his class in his second year and continue receiving the most resources.

But now, even his spot in the Top 100 was becoming uncertain. A profound sense of crisis forced him to take a gamble.

After more than half a year of cultivation, most of the top students' External Martial Arts were nearing completion. The next month and a half would be a period of rapid development for these students. By the time of the final exam, students with completed External Martial Arts would at least double their combat power.

At that point, even if Jiang Feng's Brute Ox Fist broke through to completion, he might not be able to hold onto his spot in the Top 100.

"With the help of the Source Energy Potion, my Brute Ox Fist will definitely reach completion, and my Life Level will break through to 6.0 ahead of schedule."

"Then I'll have a chance to enter the top 1,000 in the Celestial Balance rankings. As long as I succeed, the Source Energy Potion acquired through the loan will allow me to reach completion with my Brute Ox Technique during my trip to the Dark Domain."

"..."

"Chu Kuang, well done."

"Jiang Feng usually acts so arrogant, yet he couldn't even last three moves against you."

As Chu Kuang returned to his seat, Zhang Ming walked over with exaggerated praise.

Chu Kuang's lips curved slightly, and he calmly replied, "He's not weak. It's just a pity he met me."

Chu Kuang's victory in this fight was easy because the gap in strength between them was indeed significant.

Although Chu Kuang's Life Level was only 5.8, the buffs from his completed Iron Armor Technique and perfect Basic External Martial Arts were immense. The perfection of his Basic Spear Technique and Movement Technique also greatly enhanced Chu Kuang's strength.

Coupled with the effects of his attributes, this battle was naturally won with ease.

Let alone Jiang Feng, even if he faced Li Xiong from First High School again, Chu Kuang was confident he could defeat him within thirty moves.

"Life Level is the foundation, like the trunk of a tree. Spear techniques and movement techniques are the means, like the branches and leaves of the tree. Only when both complement each other can a flourishing tree be formed."

Chu Kuang murmured inwardly, calmly placing his spear back on the weapon rack. He then stated plainly, "I'm going to study martial arts, so I won't chat with you anymore."

After seeing Zhang Ming off, Chu Kuang opened two movement technique martial arts to examine them.

As top-tier movement techniques, Blood Battle in All Directions and Thousand Jin Formation Breaking Art were both extraordinary. The former had twelve layers, corresponding to the Apprentice, Transcendent, Extraordinary, and Divine Treasure realms, with three layers in each realm.

The latter had nine stages, corresponding to the Apprentice, Transcendent, and Extraordinary realms.

Both of these movement techniques, when cultivated to their limit, had higher-level advanced martial arts. However, these were not within Chu Kuang's reach for now.

He only received the first volume of Blood Battle in All Directions and Thousand Jin Formation Breaking Art, which were roughly at the level of beginner martial arts.

To obtain the subsequent volumes, Chu Kuang needed to first cultivate the first volume to completion.

Furthermore, starting from the fourth volume, they would no longer be free. He would need to pay credits or money to purchase them at the university.

"Let me see what's so special about these two martial arts."

Chu Kuang focused on comprehending Blood Battle in All Directions and Thousand Jin Formation Breaking Art. With the enhancement of the golden attribute [External Martial Arts Compendium] from his perfect Basic Movement Technique, he quickly cultivated the first volume of both techniques to the Nascent Stage.

The moment these two volumes reached the Nascent Stage, Chu Kuang's pupils widened in surprise.

[Blood Battle in All Directions: Created by the seventh-generation Human Emperor [Di Yin] in his youth. He once used it to kill seven Divine Sons of alien races in a single battle, shocking the heroes of all races.]

Attached Attribute: Heavenly Gifted Martial Sense.

Upon seeing the introduction to this movement technique, Chu Kuang's pupils contracted sharply.

Since humanity stepped into the space age, there had been no talk of royal families. However, every human had the right to contend for the position of Human Emperor.

The Human Emperor could command all of humanity and held a status even more noble than the aloof Gods. However, becoming the Human Emperor was an almost impossible feat.

Especially as humanity grew stronger, the difficulty of becoming the Human Emperor increased.

To become the current Human Emperor, one had to be invincible among all peers within humanity and command the respect of all the Myriad Kings. Only then could they be recognized as the current Human Emperor.

And the Myriad Kings were no pushovers; they were the most powerful kings among their peers, each capable of fighting against alien Gods.

The Yan Yuan Human King, who instilled fear in the Sirius Civilization's aliens, was merely one of the Myriad Kings in humanity's Hall of Kings.

Emperor Di Yin was such an unparalleled Human Emperor. He rose to prominence over ten thousand years ago and was once the co-lord of humanity. He had long since entered the realm of Gods and was one of the few humans with the highest potential to become a Saint.

"I never expected Blood Battle in All Directions to have such an astonishing origin."

Chu Kuang was shocked and continued to look at the attribute.

Heavenly Gifted Martial Sense [White]: Heavenly Gifted Martial Sense, Blood Battle in All Directions. Reaction speed, perception, and senses gained from cultivating Blood Battle in All Directions are all increased by ten percent.

"Such powerful effects."

Chu Kuang murmured, a hint of pleasant surprise appearing on his face.

As expected of a top-tier movement technique, Blood Battle in All Directions did not focus on speed, positioning, or evasion. Instead, it possessed three special abilities.

Reaction speed would drastically increase Chu Kuang's response time, making him more adept at handling various combat situations.

Perception would increase the probability of seeing through the enemy's feints and weaknesses, preventing him from being deceived by his senses and exposing openings.

Senses were a sixth sense in the ethereal realm, allowing Chu Kuang to detect unseen killing intent. The probability of being successfully ambushed would be greatly reduced, and he could even receive advance warnings before danger arrived.

"With reaction speed, perception, and senses combined, even without the speed and agility of other movement techniques, one can find the most direct way to defeat enemies and protect oneself."

Chu Kuang took a deep breath. The three special abilities brought by Blood Battle in All Directions were already very strong, and with the amplification from the attribute, his combat instincts would be elevated to an incredible level.

As long as his physique and strength were powerful enough, Blood Battle in All Directions would become one of his trump cards for defeating enemies.

With that thought, Chu Kuang looked at the Thousand Jin Formation Breaking Art again.

Thousand Jin Formation Breaking Art: Created by the King of Yan Yuan, Po Jun, it is the most ferocious movement technique, cultivating an unstoppable momentum, with the attached trait: Strength Through a Thousand Armies.

Strength Through a Thousand Armies: Burns the crimson blood, capable of breaking through a thousand armies, increasing the speed of the Thousand Jin Formation Breaking Art by 10%, and the formation-breaking power by 10%.

After reading the introduction to the Thousand Jin Formation Breaking Art, Chu Kuang couldn't help but tremble slightly.

The Thousand Jin Formation Breaking Art also had an extraordinary origin. Although he didn't know much about this King Po Jun, the power of the Thousand Jin Formation Breaking Art was undeniable.

This movement technique emphasized an unstoppable charge. Even when facing a siege of enemies, even when facing thousands of enemies alone, one had to break through the enemy formation with their own strength and take the enemy general's head from amidst the army.

Therefore, not only was the Thousand Jin Formation Breaking Art astonishingly fast, but it was also very difficult for enemies to block with various traps and methods.

If this martial art had any shortcomings, it was that it required a powerful physique. Otherwise, forcefully charging through enemy lines would be no different than seeking death.

"No wonder Teacher Xu said I needed Iron Armor Technique to break through its limits before I could barely unleash the true power of this movement technique."

Chu Kuang muttered to himself and immediately settled down to study the two martial arts.

With the help of the tenfold trait, Chu Kuang's cultivation speed for these two movement techniques was very fast. In just one afternoon, he had brought both techniques to the verge of minor accomplishment.

When school ended that evening, he first went to Lin Shuyao's house to tutor for over an hour.

This time, Lin Shuyao added another three hundred yuan to his pay, asking him to give Lin Shuya an extra lesson in Basic Movement Technique.

"Nine hundred yuan a day, I owe her more and more favors."

Chu Kuang took the money and walked home, feeling a sense of emotion.

Upon returning home, he planned to share his joy with his parents, but found only Mother Chu and Chu Yu waiting for him. Father Chu, unexpectedly, had not come home.

"Where's Dad?" Chu Kuang asked.

"To earn more money to support you both, your father recently found a new job. He probably won't have much time to come back for a while," Mother Chu said calmly, a hint of unease in her eyes.

Chu Kuang's heart sank, and he couldn't help but ask, "Where is he working?"

"At the Star Farm. It's not easy to travel back and forth," Mother Chu said, repeating the excuse she had prepared, still feeling a lingering unease.

The Star Farm was located at the edge of a star, capable of absorbing a large amount of stellar fusion energy to cultivate plants. Most of the staple food used for their Nutrient Solution came from the Star Farm.

However, these farms were quite far from Tian Yuan C Star, and they usually only had holidays once every few months.

Chu Kuang didn't ask further. He vaguely guessed what was happening, but he was powerless to do anything about it now.

His father had a resilient personality; even if he wanted to do something, he probably couldn't persuade him otherwise.

"I need to become stronger."

Chu Kuang whispered to himself, his resolve growing firmer.

Over the next few days, Chu Kuang continued to cultivate diligently while steadily consolidating his ranking and pushing forward.

About three days later, Chu Kuang broke into the 867th position in the Heavenly Balance Ranking Tournament.

Two days later, after defeating an opponent whose External Martial Arts and Spear Technique were both at great accomplishment in the Virtual Training Ground, the Gold-Splitting Spear successfully broke through to the great accomplishment stage. His Life Level also reached 6.0 after absorbing over a hundred Nutrient Solutions.

Gold-Splitting Spear [Great Accomplishment 1%], with the attached trait [Gold Splitter].

Gold Splitter [Purple]: The edge of the Gold Splitter, capable of cracking stone and splitting gold, increasing the power cap of the Gold-Splitting Spear by 50%.

Looking at the Gold-Splitting Spear that had entered the great accomplishment stage, Chu Kuang took a slow, deep breath, a sharp glint flashing in his pupils.

He waved his spear, and immediately a golden sharp edge emanated from the tip, an invisible sharpness that caused the bluestone slabs of the Virtual Training Ground to crack.

"Beginner Martial Arts at great accomplishment can increase power amplification by 1 to 1.2 times. Although my Gold-Splitting Spear has just entered great accomplishment, with the trait's enhancement, the amplification I received is a full 1.5 times."

"This kind of power amplification, even if it can't compare to the perfected Gold-Splitting Spear Technique, it still exceeds the limit of the great accomplishment stage."

"With my current strength, I might have a chance to break into the top six hundred."
