Daily Life 1

"There were only two ways to obtain Dragon Blood directly." Xu Feng rubbed his chin, pondering how to get Dragon Blood.

"First, reach Body Force Amplification Level Six. Then you can receive one portion of Dragon Blood worth 80 billion, an SS-class Combat Suit, a full set of weapons..."

The world's strongest man, Hong, had only made it to the Sixth Layer!

One had to know that Hong had comprehended a domain. Even Thunder God, who had achieved sevenfold force amplification, could not withstand a single move from him.

A rookie like him had only reached 2.8 times force amplification.

So this route was basically impossible.

The other way was to reach the contract's required force amplification level of 12.

There was still one month until the life-and-death adventure on the Australian Continent on August 1. Under Instructor Jiang Fang's guidance, the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade could at most reach the Fourth Layer, or 3.5 times force amplification.

In other words, his Trial Tower level had to reach at least 3.4.

Before Luo Feng went to the Australian Continent, his force amplification level had also reached 12.

His own strength was like Luo Feng's before he went to Australia—he had comprehended the Perfect Level Movement Technique.

What he lacked was the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade. Luo Feng was one level ahead of him, having reached the Fourth Layer.

So his next priority was to strive to advance the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade to the Fourth Layer within a month.

"Looks like I'll have to cultivate hard this month. When the time comes, I can make a name for myself in one stroke."

"From what I know about the Limitless Martial Arts School, as long as I display enough talent, I'll probably be able to get a contract like the one Luo Feng signed back then," Xu Feng thought.

In the blink of an eye, it was already July 2, the day Xu Feng officially began earning Battle Points at the training camp.

Xu Feng followed the other ninety-one students to City 1001, a city in the Wilderness Zone roughly three hundred kilometers from the training camp.

This designation had also been personally set by Hong, the founder of Hong Ning Base City. All students had to hunt monsters in this city.

Moreover, a satellite had been specially assigned to monitor City 1001.

The training camp had ironclad rules.

1. Anyone caught privately trading monsters, giving monster materials to other students, or helping other students increase their Battle Points would be expelled.

2. Anyone caught killing fellow students would be executed.

Swish!

A flying knife flashed past, sending the head of a Mountain-Bearing Deer as huge as a small hill soaring into the air.

"The monsters in West Asia are completely different from those in the heartland of Huaxia." Xu Feng moved through the city in the Wilderness Zone like a fish in water. Back when he practiced saber techniques, he had trained amid herds of beasts. While other students worried about being surrounded by monster hordes, Xu Feng had no such fear at all.

With his Psychic Master talent and Perfect Level Movement Technique, Xu Feng was completely unafraid of being besieged by monsters.

Naturally, his monster-hunting efficiency was two or three times higher than that of students at the same level, and he earned a great many Battle Points.

"There are four realms of saber and sword techniques: Basic, Specialized, Mastery, and Artistic Conception. You need to build a solid foundation now. During your two hours in the imitation Gravity Room, practice your saber. During your two hours in the saber technique training room, practice your saber too. When you go back, keep practicing the basics. How can you get anywhere if your foundation isn't solid?"

"When you practice, use your brain too. Think carefully about how to make your movements flow like drifting clouds and running water, unbroken and continuous," Jiang Fang ordered.

"Yes, Instructor."

In the Gravity Room, the saber technique training room, and the underground chamber of Jiangnan Pavilion.

Every day, Xu Feng immersed himself in saber practice. He also used his Mental Power to sense the trajectory of his saber swings. With the meticulous perception provided by his Mental Power, he constantly improved through bitter cultivation. "This kid's progress is really frightening. But it isn't strange for someone in this training camp to be a little monstrous." Though Jiang Fang was shocked, her demands of Xu Feng only grew stricter.

Although Jiang Fang verbally scolded Xu Feng for not using enough force and not being fast enough,

she was actually very satisfied with his progress.

After all, a good teacher needed to maintain some restraint.

Praise would make students arrogant, and then they would not listen so diligently to their teacher's instructions.

All kinds of training methods were continuously piled onto Xu Feng.

Of course, his daily Gene Energy cultivation could not stop either.

During his days at the training camp, Xu Feng completely immersed himself in it. There were many geniuses here, many far more formidable than him. In terms of Psychic Masters, there were dozens throughout the Elite Training Camp, and quite a few possessed Mental Power stronger than his. In saber techniques, movement techniques, and force amplification, there were also people stronger than Xu Feng.

There were even students in the training camp whose Body Force Amplification had reached four times.

As for movement technique realm, there were several in the training camp who had reached the Artistic Conception level.

In saber technique realm, Xu Feng was practically at the bottom of the training camp.

However—

"Xu Feng's movement technique and Body Force Amplification are already his strengths. His rate of improvement in saber techniques may not be among the very best in the training camp, but it is still above average. He should enter the second realm of saber techniques soon." Jiang Fang was very satisfied with this disciple. "In two or three years, Xu Feng will have every chance of competing for the top ten in the training camp."

Xu Feng was like a sponge, desperately absorbing nourishment in the training camp. His physique, saber techniques, movement techniques—he improved in every aspect. This rate of progress was far faster than when he had figured things out alone in the past. Moreover, many other God level instructors in the training camp frequently gave lectures.

Even inspectors gave lectures.

"This teaching building is really tall, and its footprint is enormous too!"

The teaching building was roughly shaped like a rounded triangle, with sides over two hundred meters long and a height of more than one hundred meters. The first through fifth floors were public cultivation areas for students, the sixth floor was the instructors' cultivation area, and from the seventh floor upward, the building was occupied by Gravity Rooms.

Following the information on the schedule, Xu Feng found the public Training Ground where Jiang Fang's public saber technique class was being held.

According to the schedule, there were three public classes in the morning, held in different public Training Grounds.

One of them was Jiang Fang's public saber technique class, beginning at eight o'clock.

Many students were already chatting in the public Training Ground.

As class time approached, more and more students arrived.

Xu Feng looked around. Most of the students had yellow skin and black eyes like him, and their accents sounded like local dialects. This was especially true for the male students. Female martial artists were already rare, and beautiful ones were even rarer.

Age did not matter. God level experts had lifespans of two hundred years. Who cared about a twenty-year gap?

The crowd suddenly fell silent. Xu Feng turned to look and saw Jiang Fang walking in through the entrance, dressed in a Combat Suit with a Crimson Long Saber on her back. Everyone automatically made way for her.

Jiang Fang walked toward the center of the Training Ground. She swept her gaze across the students, spotted Xu Feng, and nodded at him.

"Class begins!" Jiang Fang walked to the center of the public Training Ground and said, "Today, I'll be discussing the difference between the Mastery and Artistic Conception levels of saber technique, as well as how to practice and improve."

"For you at your current stage, saber techniques are divided into four realms: Basic, Specialized, Mastery, and Artistic Conception."

"Most people have already reached the Specialized level of saber technique by the time they enter the training camp. After cultivating and fighting for some time, those with a little talent can enter the Mastery realm."

"The Mastery realm of saber technique means that, on the foundation of Specialized—where one can accurately and precisely execute every saber movement—one undergoes deep training in the use of techniques, allowing one's moves to flow continuously like drifting clouds and running water. One can also anticipate the enemy's moves, striking first when attacking and responding later while still gaining the initiative when defending."

"The Artistic Conception realm of saber technique is a method of unleashing greater power based on each individual's physical attributes, built upon Mastery."

As Jiang Fang explained, she demonstrated with her saber. From time to time, she called up several students whose saber techniques were already between the Mastery and Artistic Conception levels to spar. She pointed out what they did well for the other students to learn from, while also highlighting their flaws and encouraging them to correct them.

Xu Feng listened attentively, feeling that his understanding had greatly expanded.

"So my saber technique has only been at the Specialized level all along. That was only possible because my perception is exceptionally strong and my control over my body is extremely precise."

"The Mastery realm of saber technique places greater emphasis on training one's techniques, integrating many techniques together and practicing these skills and methods until they become instinctive."

"In battle, by using these techniques to predict an opponent's actions and respond instinctively, one can naturally anticipate the enemy's moves and make one's saber moves flow without interruption, keeping both the enemy's attacks and defenses firmly under control."

At the center of the grounds, Jiang Fang continued explaining the various attributes of Artistic Conception-level saber techniques and how to uncover such abilities based on the characteristics of one's own Gene Energy, allowing one's saber technique to reach the Artistic Conception level.

Finally, she lightly swung the Crimson Long Saber with one hand, spinning as she made a horizontal slash that formed a circle of saber light. Everyone around her felt as though raging flames were rushing toward them from within that saber light, and most of them took a step back in unison.

"This is Artistic Conception-level saber technique."
