Lin Mu circulated the breathing technique once more.
His aura became utterly calm, and his whole body seemed like grass and trees.
Feeling this state, a faint smile touched Lin Mu's lips.
If he ever fell into a rage and lost his reason in the future, he could also circulate this breathing technique.
Letting out a soft breath, Lin Mu withdrew from the state. He looked at Chu Miaomiao beside him, gratitude showing on his face.
"Thank you!"
A trace of surprise appeared in Chu Miaomiao's beautiful eyes. "You've already mastered it?"
Lin Mu nodded slightly. "More or less!"
"But it's only been an hour!"
"For me, that was enough!"
Chu Miaomiao was deeply shaken.
Back then, she had observed it for several days before daring to say such a thing.
Lin Mu's cultivation speed was simply too fast.
"Return the things first, then come find me at the Duel Hall!" Lin Mu said.
"Mm!" Chu Miaomiao nodded.
She then left Lin Mu's home.
Lin Mu turned and headed to the kitchen, making himself breakfast.
After breakfast, he went to the Duel Hall and resumed his former routine.
After guiding Chu Miaomiao's cultivation, Lin Mu turned his gaze toward the system interface.
"Name: Lin Mu." "Blood Qi Value: 3.36 points." "Skills: Fist Technique (Black Iron Grade 68%), Movement Technique (Silver Grade 3%), Blade Technique (Black Iron Grade 40%)." "Secret Art: Dragon Secret Art Fragment (Minor Mastery 27%)." "Breathing Technique: Xuanmu Breathing Technique Fragment (Beginner 3%)." "Cultivation Art: Five Hearts Facing Heaven Art (Minor Mastery 65%)." "Martial Skills: Dragon Roar Fist (Perfected), Flowing Dragon Steps (Perfected), Dragon's Thousand-Mile Stride (Minor Mastery 10%), Immovable Rock Golden Body (Beginner 82%), Berserk Strike (Beginner 67%)." "..."
Compared to before, there were two additional stats, from the breathing technique and the secret art. His Blood Qi Value had increased by 0.58, his Fist Technique skill by 12%, and his Movement Technique had reached Silver Grade...
Such growth in a single day was truly astonishing.
It was still because of the Ten Thousandfold Critical Harvest! Lin Mu thought to himself.
He could clearly feel the improvement he had received that time.
It was as if his entire body had shed its mortal shell and been reborn.
What a pity the probability is too low. Otherwise, I could become the most powerful existence in Divine Continent within three years!
Lin Mu thought to himself.
He cast aside those thoughts, took out the potions he had obtained earlier, swallowed one, and entered cultivation.
The effects of C-grade Potions were far better than those of D-grade ones. As Lin Mu cultivated, waves of comfort washed over him.
He performed set after set of moves, and his whole body seemed to enter a certain special state.
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.
After completing a round of cultivation, Lin Mu headed toward the school.
Over the past seven days, just as before, every day he did nothing but guide Chu Miaomiao, cultivate, eat, and sleep.
His days had been exceedingly fulfilling.
His strength had also improved noticeably.
"Name: Lin Mu." "Blood Qi Value: 3.73 points." "Skills: Fist Technique (Black Iron Grade 77%), Movement Technique (Silver Grade 6%), Blade Technique (Black Iron Grade 51%)." "Secret Art: Dragon Secret Art Fragment (Minor Mastery 34%)." "Breathing Technique: Xuanmu Breathing Technique Fragment (Beginner 15%)." "Cultivation Art: Five Hearts Facing Heaven Art (Minor Mastery 70%)." "Martial Skills: Dragon Roar Fist (Perfected), Flowing Dragon Steps (Perfected), Dragon's Thousand-Mile Stride (Minor Mastery 13%), Immovable Rock Golden Body (Beginner 89%), Berserk Strike (Beginner 77%)." "..."
At this rate, reaching the 7.0 Blood Qi Value standard before the Martial Arts Exam shouldn't be a problem! But the Martial Arts Exam gathers geniuses from across the country. The competition will definitely be fierce then!
Lin Mu thought to himself.
His province ranked seventh in the nation.
Geniuses from other provinces could also apply to schools in his province.
And every province had at least tens of millions of students.
Among those students were those from wealthy families and those with astonishing talent.
It was hard to guarantee that no dark horses would emerge.
Therefore, for Lin Mu, a Blood Qi Value of 7.0 only gave him a chance to enter the best school in the province.
It could not guarantee it one hundred percent.
I still need to work harder!
Lin Mu thought to himself.
But when he saw the mere dozen or so potions remaining, helplessness crept into his heart.
His cultivation speed was indeed astonishing, but the consumption was equally astonishing.
I still need to find a way to make money!
Lin Mu thought to himself.
He headed toward the school.
When he arrived at school, an executive coach was waiting nearby.
Lin Mu walked over. Bai Fan and the others were already seated on the bus.
The entire bus was exceptionally spacious and held more than twenty people.
Quite a few of them gave off powerful yet concealed auras.
Lin Mu swept his gaze over them and spotted several unfamiliar faces.
But just as Lin Mu had taken his seat, a familiar figure entered the bus.
When her beautiful eyes landed on Lin Mu, a smile appeared on her face.
"Lin Mu!"
Surprise flashed across Lin Mu's face. "Bai Mo! Why are you here too?"
"My family got you a spot," Bai Mo said with a smile.
Lin Mu felt somewhat helpless.
So-called rules were only prepared for people at the bottom.
Those from privileged families were born different from them.
"Are all these people from our school?" Lin Mu asked.
"Of course! But several of them rarely come here," Bai Mo explained.
"Look at those few. They were secretly trained from the moment they enrolled, receiving an enormous amount of resources every day. I heard their Blood Qi Values are all at least 4.0!" Bai Mo pointed to the side.
They were precisely the unfamiliar faces Lin Mu had noticed.
Lin Mu's expression changed slightly as well.
According to the Martial Arts Exam cutoff scores of previous years, a Blood Qi Value of 4.0 was enough to enter a First-Tier Martial School.
They were undeniably favored children of heaven.
This era was different from the old Blue Star.
Martial Arts Exam cutoff scores determined many things.
By conventional estimation, those who could enter a First-Tier Martial School would at minimum become Third-Order Martial Artists in the future.
In Li City, that was already a rather powerful existence.
Some with decent talent and better family backgrounds could even become Fourth Order or Fifth-stage Martial Artists.
Even in the provincial capital, they would be the backbone of society.
"The further a martial artist progresses in cultivation, the slower and more difficult it becomes! Looking across the entire world, there are no more than ten people who have reached the Ninth Stage Martial Artist realm!"
"If an ordinary person can reach the Second-Order Martial Artist realm, their ancestors would be burning high incense! I wonder what level of cultivation I'll reach in the future!" Lin Mu thought to himself.
He let out a soft breath, determination gleaming in his eyes.
Since he had come to this world, he naturally wanted to see its summit.
To experience the splendor of this world.
With the system, it was not impossible for him to reach the Ninth Stage Martial Artist realm.
Perhaps... he could even surpass the Ninth Stage!!
