Martial Path Secrets

"Dad, Mom, Xiaofei won the championship in our graduation exam!"

As soon as she returned home, Li Tianyu shouted loudly, seeming even happier than if she had won the championship herself.

"Xiaofei won the championship?"

Li Lei and Zhang Yuqing were both a little surprised.

Then Zhang Yuqing smiled gently, "That's really great."

Li Lei also showed a gratified smile, "Not bad, it seems you've made great progress following Mr. Hao."

Afterward, the two asked Li Tianyu how she had done on the exam. When they learned that she had entered the top eight and received the 'Excellent Graduate' award, they smiled with satisfaction.

"You don't know, today that Chen Lixin came to provoke me, and Xiaofei made a bet with him..."

Li Tianyu recounted the events with Chen Lixin.

"After Xiaofei won the championship, he went to Chen Lixin to collect the prize money. Chen Lixin's face at that time, hahaha, it was so satisfying!"

Li Tianyu laughed loudly.

After listening, Zhang Yuqing looked at Li Lei with some worry.

Li Lei understood her concern and gently patted her hand, saying:

"It's okay."

Li Fei had been observing Li Lei's expression, and only felt relieved when he heard him say that.

He turned to look at Li Tianyu:

"Sister, if you get into Martial University next, you'll still encounter Chen Lixin, so you still need to be careful."

Li Tianyu didn't care when she heard this, "I wasn't afraid of him in vocational school, and I'll be even less afraid of him in university."

Li Fei looked at Li Lei:

"Uncle Li, there should be some children from our Xing City Overseeing Bureau at Martial University, right?"

Li Lei nodded, "Yes, after Tianyu gets into university, I'll remind her."

Then he said to Li Fei, "You did very well today. Although my Li Family can't compare to the Chen Family, the people of the Overseeing Bureau aren't to be bullied by just anyone."

"Okay."

Li Fei nodded emphatically, a smile on his face.

"Alright, let's eat. The food is getting cold."

Zhang Yuqing said softly, inviting everyone to the living room.

The next morning, after Li Fei had breakfast, he ran to the Military Academy and knocked on Hao Yi's office door.

"Come in."

Hao Yi's voice came from inside the room.

"Teacher."

Li Fei walked into the office and stood before Hao Yi.

Hao Yi was drinking tea and glanced at him, "How was the graduation exam?"

"Student won the championship in the exam."

Li Fei said as calmly as possible.

Hao Yi, who was drinking tea, paused noticeably, and only nodded calmly after a few seconds, "Well, not bad, you didn't embarrass me."

"It's all thanks to the teacher's good teaching."

Li Fei said at the right moment.

Hao Yi's serious expression softened, "Let's go, to the Medicinal Bath Room."

"Teacher, I have already cultivated the HeavenlyGang Overlord Body to the Small Success realm."

Li Fei said.

"Hmm?"

The look of surprise on Hao Yi's face could no longer be concealed.

He suddenly reached out and grabbed Li Fei's arm. The moment he grasped it, he clearly felt the muscle bulge, full of elasticity, as if to shake his fingers away.

"Not bad!"

A rare smile appeared on Hao Yi's face.

His sudden move was without warning, and Li Fei was able to react in time, indicating that the HeavenlyGang Overlord Body had indeed reached Small Success.

To reach the realm of Small Success in less than ten days of cultivation, Hao Yi looked at Li Fei with undisguised appreciation for such talent.

"Now that you have reached the realm of Small Success, it's time to take you to get in touch with Implants."

Hao Yi said.

Li Fei was overjoyed. He could finally come into contact with the Martial Path Secrets of this world!

Afterward, Hao Yi gave him a form and asked him to pay the fee first.

The amount filled in on the form was 360 yuan, which was more expensive than a semester's tuition! This was the cost of purchasing the Implant.

Liu Xing, who had become a Rank B Student and was qualified to come into contact with Implants, had not yet obtained one because he had not yet saved enough money to buy it.

Fortunately, I won a bonus from Chen Lixin, otherwise I would have had to ask Uncle Li for money again.

Li Fei thought to himself.

He won the championship in the graduation exam and received a bonus of 300 yuan. With the additional 300 yuan from Chen Lixin, he had a huge sum of 600 yuan on him, and he was originally full of confidence, but now he would have to spend most of it.

After Li Fei paid the fee and returned with the receipt, Hao Yi led him out of the office building and to the outside of a black courtyard gate.

There were guards stationed at the courtyard gate, who looked very capable and were Martial Warriors, and they were also equipped with pistols on their waists.

After the Mingxin Reform, the imperial court introduced Western gunpowder weapons to form a new army, and the Overseeing Bureaus in various places were also successively equipped with firearms and ammunition, as were some legitimate armed institutions.

The Military Academy had arranged guards with firearms in this large courtyard, which showed how much importance was attached to this place.

"This is where the Military Academy stores Implants."

Hao Yi said to Li Fei.

Then, he took Li Fei to the guardhouse for a very detailed registration.

A few minutes later, after passing through several checkpoints, the two entered a warehouse in the courtyard.

The temperature in the warehouse was much lower than outside, and there were rows of refrigerators.

"There are many ways to store Implants. The higher the grade of the Implant, the more complex the storage method. The Implants here are all of the lower three grades, and the storage method is relatively simple, requiring only refrigeration."

Hao Yi said to Li Fei.

"Lower three grades?"

Li Fei noticed these words.

"Do you know the source of these Implants?"

"Student does not know."

"Implants initially originated from the body tissues of Exotic Beasts."

"Exotic Beasts."

Li Fei was stunned, recalling the content related to Exotic Beasts in the original body's memory.

Wild animals also exist in this world, and the bodies of some wild animals will mutate and become Exotic Beasts.

Most ordinary people will never see an Exotic Beast in their lifetime, so information related to Exotic Beasts is rarely circulated among the people.

"Exotic Beasts possess all kinds of powerful abilities. Some are invulnerable to swords and spears, some are incredibly powerful, some can summon clouds and mist, and some can condense ice and spit fire. Some amazingly talented predecessors tried to transfer the abilities of these Exotic Beasts to the human body, so that humans could also become more powerful."

Hao Yi said.

"They finally succeeded, and that's how Martial Warriors came to be."

Li Fei was thoughtful, and the images of powerful Martial Warriors in human-beast form appeared in his mind.

Hao Yi glanced at him, seemingly guessing what he was thinking, and sneered, "Compared to Exotic Beasts, the human body is too fragile. In the beginning, the Implants taken from Exotic Beasts were also very crude, so nine out of ten Martial Warriors would eventually undergo physical mutations, turning into half-human, half-beast monsters. Their humanity would gradually be replaced by bestiality, and they could no longer be called human."

Li Fei couldn't help but shudder upon hearing this.

"Later, as Implant technology became more mature and various Martial Path cultivation methods gradually improved, the path of the Martial Warrior slowly became safer. We use Implants to gain powerful strength, but the most fundamental thing is to continuously strengthen ourselves with Implants, allowing ourselves to evolve."

Hao Yi looked at Li Fei with a serious expression as he said this:

"You must remember that Implants are just tools to assist you in your cultivation, allowing you to become stronger. They are not essentially different from the medicine you use, or knives, spears, and clubs. If one day you put the cart before the horse, the consequences will be light physical mutations, and heavy consequences will be your humanity being overwhelmed by bestiality, turning you into a monster that cannot be tolerated in this world!"

Upon hearing these words, Li Fei immediately thought of Hao Yi's pair of blood-red hands.

He nodded solemnly, "Teacher, I will remember."

"Mm."

Hao Yi turned to look at the refrigerated cabinets in the warehouse:

"Exotic Beasts are divided into nine ranks according to their grade, with Rank 1 being the lowest and Rank 9 being the highest. Therefore, Implants are also divided into nine ranks. Martial Warriors who are just starting out can only use the lower three ranks of Implants for cultivation. Any higher, and their bodies will not be able to withstand it."

After saying that, he beckoned for the administrator here to come over, "Go and get that box of Rank 2, High-Grade Steel Armor Implants."
