The Secret of Extreme Strength and Breaking Through to Seventh Rank

Never mind Li Long.

On the other side, after celebrating with his parents at the restaurant, Lin Yi rushed back to the Guangling Martial Academy's library to search for information about the Extreme Strength Realm.

The librarian at first refused to tell Lin Yi, telling him not to be too curious and that he would know when he was supposed to.

It wasn't until Lin Yi showed his Martial Scholar token that the librarian stopped obstructing him. Instead, he proactively told Lin Yi that information about the Extreme Strength Realm was located on the third floor, on the second row of the third bookshelf.

Afterward, Lin Yi went up to the third floor of the library and read for a full two hours. He stayed from afternoon until night, finally gaining a deeper understanding of the Extreme Strength Realm.

"Extreme Strength, so that's how it is."

In the library, Lin Yi gently closed an ancient book, a look of understanding on his face.

Extreme Strength, or the Power Limit, was essentially the same as what Li Long had described, but the difficulty of comprehending it was not as high as Lin Yi had initially imagined.

This was because the Extreme Strength Realm was, in essence, a realm of ultimate body control for a martial artist.

The process of every martial artist cultivating martial skills was actually a process of continuously improving their control over their own physical bodies. As the realm of their martial skills grew higher, their control over themselves would also increase.

Until a certain moment, when the martial artist's control over their physical body reached a qualitative change, the Extreme Strength Realm would be achieved.

"According to the records in the books, for martial artists to achieve a qualitative change in their body control, their martial skill realm must reach at least the perfection of a Sixth-Rank Martial Art."

Lin Yi thought to himself:

"Afterward, the higher the martial skill realm, the greater the probability of breaking through to the Extreme Strength Realm."

"Generally speaking, if one can reach the perfection of a Fifth-Rank Martial Art or the great perfection of a Sixth-Rank Martial Art, then breaking through to the Extreme Strength Realm is practically guaranteed."

"Furthermore, to break through to the Extreme Strength Realm, besides the martial skill realm reaching the minimum standard, a specific Power Limit Method is also required."

"These methods are recorded in every Sixth-Rank and above martial art. For example, the complete Bright Moon Saber Art includes a corresponding Power Limit Method, and it is collected on the third floor of the library."

"It's just that the academy used to worry that we disciples would aim too high, so they deliberately hid the Power Limit Methods within the martial arts when teaching them to us. Only when we were close to graduating or had become Martial Scholars would these Power Limit Methods be accessible to us."

"And now, I am qualified to view these methods."

Lin Yi smiled and walked to another bookshelf, taking down a thin booklet of only about ten pages. It was the Power Limit Method corresponding to the Sixth-Rank martial art, the Bright Moon Saber Art.

Afterward, Lin Yi stood directly in front of the bookshelf, flipping through it rapidly, memorizing the contents of this Power Limit Method.

Power Limit Methods were generally not complicated, as they were merely aids for comprehending the Extreme Strength Realm. Therefore, even an ordinary person could fully memorize a Power Limit Method in about half an hour.

As a genius, Lin Yi was naturally even more remarkable. In just fifteen minutes, all the details regarding how cultivators of the Bright Moon Saber Art could break through to the Extreme Strength Realm were imprinted in his mind.

"Method memorized, now I'm going back to cultivate immediately."

After placing the Power Limit Method back on the shelf, Lin Yi's eyes became incredibly bright. He then quickly went downstairs, greeted the librarian, and left the library.

The following days became simple. Because he had passed the Martial Scholar exam, and Lin Yi's Martial Skill realm had already reached the perfect level of Sixth-Rank Martial Art, finding a job was much easier for Lin Yi now.

He casually found a larger Martial Arts School to work as an Instructor, with a basic monthly salary of one hundred taels of silver.

If he occasionally took time to give extra lessons to wealthy students, his monthly income would be at least one hundred and fifty taels, which was more than his father earned in two to three months of dangerous work at the escort agency.

Coupled with the fifty taels of Martial Subsidy Silver per month for being a Martial Scholar, Lin Yi's monthly income now exceeded two hundred taels, making him a definite high-income earner even in the Commandery City.

So, after receiving the money, Lin Yi, disregarding his parents' objections, immediately bought a new house for his family. Although it wasn't large, its location was excellent, and they no longer had to endure the foul smell of the sewage.

Although his mother kept complaining about wasting money, when they actually moved into the house, the smile on her lips was undeniable.

Seeing this, Lin Yi also felt content.

Furthermore, with the support of this money, Lin Yi's Martial Cultivation also began to climb steadily. In just one month, he broke through again, achieving the realm of Seventh-Rank Martial Dao.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

In a Martial Arts Training Room at Guangling Martial Academy, two figures were constantly clashing within the room.

One figure wielded a saber, and the other a greatsword. The immense collisions caused the surrounding air to erupt with explosive sounds.

Finally, after more than four hundred exchanges, the figure holding the saber struck out with a saber strike. The greatsword figure had no time to block and had the saber directly placed at his neck.

"Lin Yi, how on earth did you train?"

Feeling the cold edge of the snow-white saber against his neck, Wang Kai gave a wry smile:

"In this short month, your Martial Skill realm has been improving every single day."

"At the beginning, I could still fight you for a thousand exchanges before losing."

"Ten days later, I could only last eight hundred exchanges, and twenty days later, only six hundred."

"Now it's even more outrageous. It hasn't even been five hundred exchanges, and I've already lost to you."

"If you continue training at this speed, it's estimated that in another six months at most, your Bright Moon Saber Art will be completely perfected, and breaking through to the Extreme Strength Realm will be effortless then!"

"Six months?"

Hearing Wang Kai's words, Lin Yi smiled calmly.

He had to admit, Wang Kai, as a disciple from a top aristocratic family in Guangling Prefecture City, had excellent judgment, easily discerning his current mastery of the Bright Moon Saber Art.

Through a month of arduous practice, Lin Yi's Bright Moon Saber Art had indeed improved from (Completion, 14%) to (Completion, 31%) a month ago.

At this rate of cultivation, coupled with the time needed to break through bottlenecks, it would indeed take at most half a year to reach the Great Completion level, and then effortlessly comprehend the Extreme Strength Realm.

Achieving Extreme Strength in just half a year was a terrifying speed for ordinary geniuses, even for a "Yellow-grade Genius" like Wang Kai, but for Lin Yi, this speed was still a bit slow.

After all, Lin Yi's own standards were to match the Profound-grade geniuses and even the Earth-grade geniuses of the Purple Thistle Chamber of Commerce.

If he only comprehended Extreme Strength after half a year, then time would extend to next year. By then, according to the age calculation method of this world, even if Lin Yi hadn't truly reached fifteen years old, he would still be considered fifteen.

Achieving Extreme Strength at fifteen years old would not meet the standard for a Profound-grade genius, only classifying him as an exceptionally strong Yellow-grade genius.

"No! It seems that if I want to increase my progress speed, I must become stronger as soon as possible, and then quickly gather Four Thousand Taels of Silver through my powerful strength to Evolve my Second Talent."

"As long as the Second Talent is one that helps me comprehend Extreme Strength, whether it's Bright Yellow Grade or Crimson Grade, it should greatly shorten the time needed to break through to Extreme Strength."

"As long as I can finally break through before the New Year this year, then even if I comprehend the Extreme Strength Realm at fourteen years old, my genius level will be completely different from comprehending it at fifteen."

With this thought, Lin Yi immediately said to Wang Kai beside him:

"Wang Kai, let's stop here for today! I have some things to do, and we'll meet again tomorrow."

"Something to do?"

Hearing this, Wang Kai was also stunned and asked doubtfully:

"Lin Yi, isn't your job as an Instructor at the martial arts school supposed to start at 5 Kè past Shēn hour (4 PM) every day? It's only just past 5 Kè past Wèi hour (2 PM) now, why are you going so early?"

"To find some other work, see if I can earn some more money."

Lin Yi explained:

"To be honest, I've had considerable expenses recently to improve my cultivation. Relying solely on the salary of a martial arts school instructor is not enough to sustain me, so I must find other sources of income."

"Therefore, I estimate that in the future, I will only be able to spar with you during the Martial Arts Academy's class times. I hope you can understand, Brother Wang Kai."

"Short on money?"

Wang Kai frowned slightly, then said:

"Lin Yi, since you're short on money, I won't waste your time making money. But speaking of making money, I actually have some good news to tell you."

"Oh, good news? What good news?"

Lin Yi was taken aback.

"It's very simple!"

Wang Kai replied with a smile:

"According to the information I have, the Martial Arts Academy will hold its Entrance Examination in the middle of this month, as is customary."

"And the academy is taking this Entrance Examination very seriously. Even the Dean, who is usually elusive, will be attending. Furthermore, the rewards for the examination will be significantly increased compared to previous years."

"So, Lin Yi, if you're really short on money, I think this examination should be a good opportunity for you?"

"A good opportunity? Rewards significantly increased? Wang Kai, just how significant is this increase?"

Hearing this, a flicker of anticipation flashed in Lin Yi's eyes, and he quickly asked.
