Two Consecutive Days of Claiming Rewards?

"A spear technique that boosts blood energy?"

"Wait a moment, let me think."

Xu Zhiming followed behind the teacher, quietly waiting for him to continue.

Choosing a spear.

It was about having a longer attack range when blood energy couldn't be projected out of the body for strikes.

An inch longer means an inch stronger—the wisdom of the ancients.

The two ascended to the top floor.

The teacher led Xu Zhiming straight toward a certain room on the top floor.

Xu Zhiming looked around the top floor.

Unlike the floors below, martial skills weren't piled up into mountains of tomes here.

"You said you want a spear technique that can boost blood energy, and also pack a strong offensive punch."

The teacher pushed up his reading glasses, his tone questioning.

There was a spear technique martial skill in his mind that met Xu Zhiming's requirements.

However, he wasn't particularly eager to give it to Xu Zhiming.

That spear technique was too difficult to train, and it wasn't a complete martial skill.

"Even if the martial skill is extremely hard to cultivate, you're not afraid?"

Xu Zhiming nodded.

"I'm not afraid of difficulty in training—I'm afraid of not being strong enough."

Xu Zhiming's tone was firm, his words brimming with confidence.

No matter how hard a martial skill was to train, with his effort plus the critical hits from his system, it wouldn't be a problem.

The management teacher nodded.

He felt a twinge of emotion—youth was truly something.

Not knowing the height of the heavens or the depth of the earth.

"Alright, if you want to switch martial skills, I can let you exchange."

Xu Zhiming nodded.

The management teacher brought him a yellowed book.

"A-grade martial skill, Coiling Dragon Surging Waves."

Xu Zhiming stared at the words on it, a flicker of shock passing through his eyes.

Could this teacher be the legendary sweeping monk?

"Teacher, this..."

The management teacher seemed to guess what Xu Zhiming was thinking.

"Don't overthink it—I'm just an ordinary teacher. This martial skill is available at every middle school. It's an incomplete skill, only cultivatable to the third layer."

"The complete Coiling Dragon Surging Waves has seven layers in total, but even with just three layers, it rivals a D-grade martial skill, and its killing power is even greater."

Xu Zhiming let out a breath, unsure if it was disappointment or disappointment.

"Alright, thank you, teacher."

"I'd like to ask—how do I obtain the later techniques?"

"Little Du Niang is a good thing."

Xu Zhiming nodded at that, took the martial skill, and sat down on a chair to study it.

After reading the introduction, this martial skill was created by a powerful martial artist known by the title Coiling Dragon Spear.

He created it up to seven layers, but the text said it still hadn't reached its limit.

Coiling Dragon Surging Waves, seven layers—each layer could double attack power.

The increase was enormous.

The E-grade martial skill Xu Zhiming currently trained, Wind Thunder Fist, could only boost combat power by about sixty percent at the fourth layer.

Only at the fifth layer could it double attack power.

Wind Thunder Fist had six layers total, with a maximum boost of two times attack power!

But Coiling Dragon Surging Waves could double attack power from the very first layer.

In terms of training difficulty, it was on par with the fifth layer of Wind Thunder Fist.

Xu Zhiming clicked his tongue—this kind of martial skill really appealed to him.

He flipped further.

Coiling Dragon Surging Waves came with a blood-energy-boosting effect; at the first layer, blood energy recovery speed doubled.

Xu Zhiming grew more satisfied the longer he looked, and before he knew it, he had flipped through the entire martial skill.

He felt a lingering reluctance and turned back through the last two pages.

"There are still four layers missing."

[You have roughly read through Coiling Dragon Surging Waves (Incomplete) once, triggering a 10x Critical Hit.]

Many memories surfaced in Xu Zhiming's mind, as if he had read Coiling Dragon Surging Waves ten times.

When he first flipped through it, he had only skimmed the contents.

After the 10x Critical Hit, he had a general grasp of all the techniques within.

Xu Zhiming raised an eyebrow and stretched.

He took a deep breath, steadying his mindset.

This was his first time obtaining a D-grade martial skill, and his heart raced with excitement.

He hadn't carefully understood it on the first pass—wasting the 10x Critical Hit.

Xu Zhiming reopened Coiling Dragon Surging Waves, doing his utmost to thoroughly comprehend the techniques inside.

About ten minutes later, Xu Zhiming finished reading Coiling Dragon Surging Waves again.

[You have carefully read through Coiling Dragon Surging Waves once, triggering a 20x Critical Hit.]

Xu Zhiming closed his eyes, and once again, many insights flooded his mind.

If you find this book enjoyable, to avoid losing track of it next time, please remember to add it to your bookshelf.

Technique names, movements, and various realizations surged forth like a spring.

In an instant, Xu Zhiming had fully memorized everything within Coiling Dragon Surging Waves.

He also gained many of his own understandings.

Carrying these insights, Xu Zhiming continued reading.

Time quickly passed, over an hour.

At the top floor of the library.

A youth in a black hoodie bowed his head, flipping through the book in his hands.

His slightly youthful face furrowed from time to time, as if pondering something extremely important.

[You have deeply studied Coiling Dragon Surging Waves, triggering a 100x Critical Hit.]

Xu Zhiming's eyes snapped open, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

Read a book a hundred times, and its meaning reveals itself.

Within that hour, with over two hundred critical hits in total, he had already mastered Coiling Dragon Surging Waves by heart.

He now possessed many insights and could hardly wait to practice his spear techniques.

Xu Zhiming closed Coiling Dragon Surging Waves, picked up the book, and walked downstairs to return it to the supervising teacher.

Just as he stepped out of the library, thunder rumbled overhead.

Xu Zhiming looked up. The sky was dark and gloomy, with fine drizzling rain falling.

Boom, boom...

The rumbling sounded.

March fifth, the season of Jingzhe—the Awakening of Insects.

Cloud Water City was located in the southwestern region of Daxia, so thunder at this time of year was normal.

He quickened his pace toward the Martial Arts Hall.

Suddenly.

A startling clap of thunder rang out.

Xu Zhiming looked up into the distance. A brilliant white light flashed across the sky.

The somewhat dim sky brightened for a moment.

The lightning vanished, and a hint of realization stirred in Xu Zhiming's mind.

[You witnessed the startling thunder, a flash of insight struck your mind, and you gained an understanding of Wind Thunder Fist, triggering a 100x Critical Hit.]

Xu Zhiming stood frozen in place, digesting the realization in his mind.

Three or four minutes later.

Xu Zhiming pulled up his panel.

[Martial Skills: E-grade Wind Thunder Fist (Fifth Layer)]

[A-grade Coiling Dragon Surging Waves (Incomplete)]

[Blood Qi: 11.12]

His Blood Qi hadn't increased much—only by a few tenths.

But his comprehension of the Wind Thunder Fist had advanced by one level.

Xu Zhiming punched out, a flash of white light flickering across his hands and vanishing in an instant.

Wind Thunder Fist, fifth level—Lightning Flash!

At the same time, a faint electric current formed within his body.

Xu Zhiming felt that if he struck with full force using the Wind Thunder Fist, the current could paralyze a person for a moment.

He pulled up his panel; his health hadn't increased.

Xu Zhiming believed that after taking the E-grade Azure Potion, his health would rise faster.

He hoped his first dose of an E-grade potion would give him a pleasant surprise.

Xu Zhiming returned to the Martial Arts Hall, opened his locker, and tipped his head back to swallow the E-grade Azure Potion No. 2.

His heart was icy cold.

After the potion entered his abdomen, his body gradually warmed up.

Xu Zhiming walked to the side and started punching wildly.

The other students cultivating the Wind Thunder Fist saw Xu Zhiming's plan and silently began to imitate him.

[You have practiced the Wind Thunder Fist once, triggering a 20x Critical Hit.]

After finishing one round of the Wind Thunder Fist, Xu Zhiming felt a tingling numbness throughout his body.

Lightning Flash appeared, and Xu Zhiming felt an electric current flowing through his entire body, an exceptionally exhilarating sensation.

His body was cheering.

Zeng Hao thought his eyes were playing tricks on him, his gaze fixed on Xu Zhiming's hands.

He couldn't help but stop and look at the other students.

"Did you see that? It looked like white light flashed on Xu Zhiming's hands."

"I thought I was seeing things—you saw it too?"

"Wind Thunder Fist, fifth level—Lightning Flash!"

Everyone gasped.

As fellow students cultivating the Wind Thunder Fist, they knew how difficult it was to improve.

Wang Hu had just walked over when he heard the students discussing something about the fifth level of the Wind Thunder Fist.

He hurried over and stood to the side, watching Xu Zhiming practice.

His punching speed was about the same as yesterday.

But when he saw Xu Zhiming's last few movements, white light flickered on his hands.

Wang Hu couldn't quite believe it, his expression similar to those students'.

His mouth slightly open, his eyes vacant.

"I only applied for the fourth-level reward yesterday, and now I'm applying for the fifth-level reward today?"

"Will the school think I'm faking it?"
