Blood Qi Medicine Pool

Lin Mu ran through the breathing technique once more.

His aura became extremely calm, his entire person like grass or wood.

Sensing this state, a faint smile tugged at the corners of Lin Mu's mouth.

In the future, if he ever fell into rage and lost his reason, he could also circulate this breathing technique.

Letting out a light breath, Lin Mu withdrew from the state, his gaze shifting to Chu Miaomiao beside him, a trace of gratitude on his face.

"Thank you!"

Surprise flickered in Chu Miaomiao's beautiful eyes. "You've already mastered it?"

Lin Mu gave a slight nod. "More or less."

"But it's only been an hour!"

"For me, that's enough."

Chu Miaomiao's heart was deeply shaken.

Back then, she had observed for several days before daring to say such a thing.

Lin Mu's cultivation speed was far too fast.

"Return the things first, then come find me at the Duel Hall," Lin Mu said.

"Mm!" Chu Miaomiao nodded.

Then she left Lin Mu's home.

Lin Mu turned and walked toward the kitchen, making himself breakfast.

After eating, he arrived at the Duel Hall and resumed his previous routine.

After finishing his guidance for Chu Miaomiao's training, Lin Mu's eyes turned 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 Arts: Dragon Secret Art Fragment (Minor Success 27%)."

"Breathing Techniques: Xuanmu Breathing Technique Fragment (Beginner 3%)."

"Cultivation Methods: Five Hearts Facing Heaven Art (Minor Success 65%)."

"Martial Skills: Dragon Roar Fist (Perfection), Flowing Dragon Steps (Perfection), Dragon's Thousand-Mile Stride (Minor Success 10%), Immovable Rock Golden Body (Beginner 82%), Berserk Strike (Beginner 67%)."

"..."

Compared to before, two new data points had appeared, from the breathing technique and secret art, while his Blood Qi Value had increased by 0.58, Fist Technique by 12%, and Movement Technique had reached Silver Grade...

In just a single day, such growth was truly astonishing.

"It's still because of the Ten Thousandfold Critical Harvest," Lin Mu thought to himself.

He could clearly feel the boost he had received that time.

As if his entire being had been reborn.

"Too bad the probability is too low. Otherwise, I could become the strongest existence on the Divine Continent in three years," Lin Mu mused inwardly.

He shook off the thoughts in his mind, took out the potions he had obtained earlier, consumed them, and stepped into cultivation.

The potency of C-grade Potions was far better than D-grade, and as Lin Mu cultivated, he felt waves of comfort.

One set of techniques after another was executed by him, his entire person seeming to enter some special state.

Time flew by swiftly.

In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.

After completing a round of cultivation, Lin Mu headed toward the school.

These seven days, just like before, he spent every day guiding Chu Miaomiao, cultivating, eating, and sleeping.

Life was very fulfilling.

His strength had also made noticeable progress.

"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 Arts: Dragon Secret Art Fragment (Minor Success 34%)."

"Breathing Techniques: Xuanmu Breathing Technique Fragment (Beginner 15%)."

"Cultivation Methods: Five Hearts Facing Heaven Art (Minor Success 70%)."

"Martial Skills: Dragon Roar Fist (Perfection), Flowing Dragon Steps (Perfection), Dragon's Thousand-Mile Stride (Minor Success 13%), Immovable Rock Golden Body (Initiate 89%), Berserk Strike (Initiate 77%)."

"..."

"At this rate, reaching the 7.0 Blood Qi Value standard before the Martial Arts Exam shouldn't be a problem! But the exam gathers prodigies from across the nation—the competition will inevitably be fierce."

Lin Mu thought to himself.

His province ranked seventh nationwide.

Prodigies from other provinces could also apply to schools in his province.

Each province had at least tens of millions of students.

Among them were those with privileged backgrounds and those with astonishing talent.

It was hard to guarantee that some dark horses wouldn't emerge.

So, for Lin Mu, a Blood Qi Value of 7.0 only gave him a chance to get into the best school in his province.

It couldn't guarantee a hundred percent success.

"I still need to work harder!"

Lin Mu thought to himself.

But when he saw the dozen or so potions left, he felt a bit helpless.

His training speed was indeed astonishing, but the consumption was equally staggering.

"I still need to find a way to make money!"

Lin Mu thought to himself.

His figure headed toward the school.

Arriving at the school, an Administrative Bus was waiting not far away.

Lin Mu walked over; Bai Fan and the others were already seated on the bus.

The entire vehicle was extremely spacious, holding over twenty people.

Among them were many powerful and subtle auras.

Lin Mu's gaze swept over them; there were a few unfamiliar faces.

But just as Lin Mu sat down, a familiar figure entered the bus.

Her beautiful eyes lit up with a smile when she saw Lin Mu.

"Lin Mu!"

Lin Mu's face showed surprise: "Bai Mo! Why are you here too?"

"My family got you a spot!" Bai Mo said with a smile.

Lin Mu felt a bit helpless inside.

So-called rules were only made for those at the bottom.

People from privileged backgrounds were inherently different from them.

"Are all these people from our school?" Lin Mu asked.

"Of course! But several of them rarely come around," Bai Mo explained.

"Look at those few—they've been secretly trained since enrollment, receiving massive resources every day. I hear their Blood Qi Values are at least 4.0 or higher!" Bai Mo pointed to one side.

Those were exactly the faces Lin Mu found unfamiliar.

Lin Mu's expression shifted slightly.

According to past Martial Arts Exam score lines, a Blood Qi Value of 4.0 could get you into a First-Tier Martial School.

That was the mark of a true Prodigy.

In this era, unlike the previous Blue Star, the Martial Arts Exam score line determined many things.

By conventional reasoning, entering a First-Tier Martial School meant at least becoming a Third-Order Martial Artist in the future.

In Li City, that was a fairly powerful existence.

Some with good talent and better family backgrounds could even become Fourth or Fifth-Order Martial Artists.

Across the entire provincial capital, they were pillars of strength.

"The further you go in martial arts training, the slower and harder it gets! Across the entire world, fewer than ten people have reached the Ninth Stage Martial Artist level!"

"An ordinary person reaching Second-Order Martial Artist would be enough to burn incense for their ancestors! I wonder what cultivation I'll achieve in the future," Lin Mu thought to himself.

He let out a light breath, a firm look in his eyes.

Since he had come to this world, he naturally wanted to see the peak.

To experience the wonders of this world.

With the system in his possession, there was no reason he couldn't reach the Ninth Stage.

Or even... surpass the Ninth Stage!!
