Meditation Method, Entering Martial Arts University!

"You mean, if I kill too many fierce beasts, I'll be influenced by their malevolent thoughts?"

"At best, it affects my sanity, and at worst, I'll turn into a killing machine?"

Li Ziyu's eyes widened, his brows furrowed as he looked at Han Wu beside him.

"Yes, yes, sir."

"People who hunt fierce beasts year-round are disturbed by the beasts' consciousness. If it's not stopped, they will eventually be influenced by the beasts' consciousness and become mere killing machines."

The middle-aged man Li Ziyu had called Han Wu explained with a grave tone, his gaze towards Li Ziyu somewhat complex.

Along with complexity, there was more shock.

He had seen everything that happened on that small road through the sniper scope, completely clear from start to finish.

He had thought Li Ziyu was definitely doomed when he encountered a Peak Level 1 Martial Artist blocking his path.

He had even silently mourned for Li Ziyu then.

But he never expected that this young man, who looked no older than his son, had just instantly killed that Peak Level 1 Martial Artist with a single strike!!

Every time he recalled what had just happened, Han Wu felt like he was dreaming.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, even if someone told him with a video, he would have suspected the video was fake.

A prodigy!

This young man was definitely a prodigy!

What kind of strength did this young man possess!

Could he be a Level 2 Martial Artist?

The red-clothed woman following quietly behind, carrying a sniper rifle, had a similar expression to Han Wu. She trailed half a step behind Li Ziyu, constantly turning her head to curiously examine Li Ziyu with surprise and curiosity in her eyes.

Li Ziyu ignored what the two were thinking.

At this moment, he was still pondering what Han Wu had said.

If it weren't for Wang Dali's situation, he wouldn't have realized his own sanity was being affected.

Killing too many fierce beasts would affect his sanity? How was he supposed to proceed?

Wouldn't this severely slow down his progress in increasing his Qi and Blood?

Li Ziyu's brow furrowed tightly.

No!

There must be a solution. Otherwise, what about the soldiers fighting fierce beasts on the border?

"But sir, you don't need to worry too much. The higher-ups discovered this long ago and have countermeasures."

"That is to cultivate Meditation Methods. As long as you cultivate Meditation Methods, you can increase your resistance to mental intrusion."

"Where can I get a Meditation Method? Do you have one?"

Li Ziyu's eyes lit up. He turned to look at Han Wu, his shining gaze causing Han Wu to subconsciously take two steps back.

However, after remembering that Li Ziyu meant him no harm, he awkwardly returned to normal.

"Uh... my level is too low. I haven't even mastered a single Battle Skill, let alone a Meditation Method, which is even more precious than a Battle Skill."

"But I do know where to obtain Meditation Methods."

A moment later, they entered the city walls.

After chatting briefly with Han Wu and adding each other on Feixin, Li Ziyu waved goodbye to Han Wu.

Watching Han Wu's receding back, Li Ziyu felt quite emotional.

"This trip to the wilderness was truly not in vain. Not only did my strength improve significantly, but I also obtained such crucial information."

"The next step is to prepare for the Martial Arts Examination and enroll in a Martial Arts University!"

While thinking, Li Ziyu walked towards the Precious Martial Pavilion.

He had just learned from Han Wu that to resist the influence of fierce beasts on one's sanity, one needed to cultivate Meditation Methods.

Meditation Methods, like martial skills, were divided into nine levels, from one to nine, with level one being the lowest and level nine being the highest.

Ordinary Level 1 and Level 2 Meditation Methods, although expensive, were sold in society.

However, the effect of Level 1 and Level 2 Meditation Methods in resisting mental intrusion was not very significant.

For example, even if a Level 2 Meditation Method was cultivated to a very high level, it couldn't completely resist the erosion of malevolent thoughts from fierce beasts.

If he killed fierce beasts at his current frequency, after one or two days, he would need to rest for several days to recover.

For his high-intensity killing, to completely resist the intrusion of killing intent, he could only cultivate higher-level Meditation Methods!

But, advanced Meditation Methods were only held by the various Martial Arts Universities!

In other words, if he wanted to improve his Qi and Blood by continuously killing fierce beasts, he could only enroll in a Martial Arts University and cultivate advanced Meditation Methods!

"Going to a Martial Arts University is good. I heard that universities have instructors to guide students, and if one's talent is good enough, they can even receive some high-level Battle Skills for free!"

"Battle Skills greatly improve a martial artist, but relying solely on killing fierce beasts and accumulating wealth by selling beast materials to buy Battle Skills is too slow."

"Those high-level battle skills are outrageously expensive, and sometimes you can't even get them even if you have the money. If I can get them directly at a Martial Arts University, why wouldn't I?"

With his goal clear, Li Ziyu no longer hesitated.

There were still three days until the Martial Arts Examination. The Great Xia's regulations stated that registration was open up to twenty-four hours before the examination began.

There was still plenty of time. He would first go to the Precious Martial Pavilion to tally his recent gains.

Then, he would go to Hongsu Martial Arts Hall to test his strength before focusing entirely on the Martial Arts Examination!

Thinking this, Li Ziyu quickened his pace.

Upon entering the Precious Martial Pavilion, Li Ziyu was led to a VIP room by a beautiful store clerk in an OL uniform.

After taking a sip of high-quality Da Hong Pao tea, Tang Xuan quickly entered the VIP room.

"Brother Li, I heard you have big business for me?"

Tang Xuan looked curious.

He had just received a call from the clerk saying Li Ziyu was here again, and this time he mentioned having big business for him.

Tang Xuan had therefore put down all his affairs and rushed over immediately.

Tang Xuan was very curious about what business could be considered "big" by Li Ziyu, who treated killing ten Shadow Cats like a trivial matter.

Pouring himself a cup of tea, Tang Xuan prepared to ask his question.

However, before he could speak, the hand holding the teapot froze in mid-air. He looked at Li Ziyu, who was sitting opposite him, with a shocked expression.

"Brother Li, you've gotten stronger again!?"

Tang Xuan's expression was one of horror as he stared intently at Li Ziyu with wide eyes.

He could actually sense a trace of dangerous aura from Li Ziyu!

And the closer he got to Li Ziyu, the stronger that danger became!

It felt like being pricked by needles.

He himself was a Level 2 Martial Artist, sensitive to Qi and Blood and danger.

While Li Ziyu had always felt powerful to him before, it wasn't like today. Today, facing Li Ziyu felt like facing a fierce beast!

Could this young man before him pose a lethal threat to him?

That couldn't be right.

Tang Xuan felt that this thought was absurd.

"Putting that aside, Boss Tang, I came here because I want to find you..."

A few moments later, Tang Xuan handed Li Ziyu a black bank card, his tone filled with emotion.

"Brother Li, when you told me last time that you could hunt Level 2 fierce beasts, I scoffed."

"I never imagined that in just one day, you could already kill an Arm Blade Tiger, a peak Level 1 fierce beast!"

"Young people are truly awe-inspiring! Truly awe-inspiring!"

"I've already arranged for someone to transport the bodies of the fierce beasts from outside the city. Here is two million Great Xia currency, Brother Li, please count it."

"No need. I trust Boss Tang's character."

"I don't need the money either. I'll exchange it all for equipment directly."

Li Ziyu waved his hand, pushing back the bank card in Tang Xuan's hand.

With his strength improved, earning money would become increasingly easier.

The Martial Arts Examination was approaching, and instead of keeping this money, it was better to exchange it directly for equipment that could enhance his strength.

After browsing the Precious Martial Pavilion for a while, Li Ziyu selected a black combat suit, a Level 1 defensive battle skill called Vajra Body, and some medicinal pills for healing and recovery, spending the entire two million Great Xia currency.

Finding a mirror, Li Ziyu eagerly took off his dirty T-shirt, stained with various grime and fierce beast blood, making its original color unrecognizable, and put on the black combat suit.
