First Taste of Medium-grade Nutrient Solution! Blood Qi Intensity Soars

After finishing dinner, Jiang Hao did not delay and headed straight to the courtyard.

He began his daily practice of the stance skill.

He skillfully executed the posture for the seventh revolution of the Nine Revolutions Stance Skill.

Blood Qi surged within his body.

When he finished the seven repetitions, Jiang Hao slowly withdrew his energy.

The notification sound in his mind arrived right on cue.

[Ding, completed one practice session of "Nine Revolutions Stance Skill: Seventh Revolution"]

[Proficiency +1]

[Nine Revolutions Stance Skill: Seventh Revolution (42/100)]

Jiang Hao felt the changes within his body.

With a thought, he opened his Information Panel!

[Host: Jiang Hao]

[Strength: Martial Trainee (Blood Qi Intensity 9.07)]

[Nine Revolutions Stance Skill: Seventh Revolution (42/100)]

[Martial Art: Spear Technique: Perfection (0/100)]

His Blood Qi Intensity had steadily increased from 9.0 yesterday to 9.07!

An increase of 0.07 in a single day!

A flicker of excitement flashed through Jiang Hao's heart.

The further one progresses in the stance skill, the more obvious the effects of tempering one's Blood Qi become.

He was already starting to look forward to what it would be like when he reached the perfection of the ninth revolution.

Within the Alliance, it is said that those capable of cultivating a basic stance skill to the ninth revolution are all one-in-a-million geniuses.

But Jiang Hao knew!

He did not need that kind of elusive talent.

He only needed to grind.

As long as I'm willing to grind, everything can be perfected!

Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Jiang Hao's gaze fell upon the martial arts section.

[Martial Arts: Spear Technique · Perfection (0/100)]

Jiang Hao's expression shifted slightly.

Perfection isn't the end?

There's still proficiency progress after this?

He had originally assumed that Perfection was the limit of any martial art. Now, it seemed there was room to go even further beyond Perfection.

I'll head to the Training Room tomorrow to test it out.

Jiang Hao set his plan in motion.

The next day.

Eighth Martial High!

In front of the cafeteria vending machine.

Lu Ming's eyes widened as he watched Jiang Hao's actions.

"Ji... Jiang-ge, are you buying... Medium-grade Nutrient Solution?"

Lu Ming was fulfilling their previous agreement. Ever since Jiang Hao defeated Lin Qiu, he had started calling him Jiang-ge directly. At this moment, Lu Ming's voice was strained. The price tag of 10,000 Alliance Coins made his eyes ache.

Jiang Hao took out the vial, which contained a deeper, azure-colored liquid, his expression calm.

"On the day of the Key Class assessment, Lin Qiu will likely make a move with Lin Fan's help."

"I need to become a bit stronger."

Upon hearing this, the shock on Lu Ming's face turned into gravity. He nodded heavily.

"The pressure is coming from Lin Qiu's brother, Lin Fan, right?"

"I've heard before that Lin Qiu's Shadowless Blade is just a superficial imitation he learned from his brother, Lin Fan!"

Lu Ming gritted his teeth as he spoke.

"Jiang Hao, I still have some savings here. Do you want..."

"No need."

Jiang Hao calmly interrupted him. He looked at Lu Ming and shifted the topic.

"Besides, you should hurry up too, Lu Ming."

"Take advantage of these last few days to break through your Stance Training to the Sixth Turn."

"Get your Qi and Blood up to 9.0, and we'll go challenge the Key Class together."

"That way, we can be together again."

"Me?"

Hearing this, Lu Ming shook his head with a bitter smile.

"Stop joking, Brother Jiang."

"I'm not a freak like you."

"It's not that easy to break through to the Great Completion of Stance Training."

Jiang Hao's expression remained unchanged; he simply reached out and patted Lu Ming on the shoulder.

"With me here, having already reached the Seventh Turn of Stance Training..."

"Are you still afraid you can't break through a Fifth Turn bottleneck?"

"Let's work hard together."

Jiang Hao's voice was calm, yet it carried an unquestionable confidence.

Lu Ming was stunned as he looked into Jiang Hao's eyes.

He thought back to yesterday, to that sudden sense of clarity he felt when Jiang Hao was guiding him.

"Alright!"

Lu Ming had no choice but to bite the bullet and nod heavily.

Inside the Class 2 exclusive Training Room.

Jiang Hao found a corner.

He unscrewed the bottle of Medium-grade Nutrient Solution, worth ten thousand Alliance Coins.

He tilted his head back and downed it in one gulp!

"Boom!"

A pure, hot current, ten times more massive than that of a Low-grade Nutrient Solution, suddenly exploded in his gut. Like molten lava, these currents surged instantly toward his limbs and bones!

Jiang Hao's expression remained unchanged as he immediately assumed the stance of the seventh revolution of the Nine Revolutions Stance Skill and began to practice!

As he performed the stance, the massive medicinal power was thoroughly guided and stimulated by the skill!

Hum—!

A terrifying surge of blood energy fluctuations centered on Jiang Hao suddenly swept outward!

This fluctuation was condensed, thick, and carried an oppressive force that made one's heart palpitate!

"Holy crap, what's going on!"

"So... so uncomfortable! I can't breathe!"

"It's Jiang Hao!"

The surrounding students who were practicing turned beet red instantly. They felt as if they had fallen into a quagmire, and even the circulation of their own blood energy became sluggish!

When they saw clearly that the source of this oppression was Jiang Hao!

They gasped in horror, one after another, and scrambled away from the area where Jiang Hao was located in a flustered mess!

"He... he's not hiding it anymore?"

"Nima! This is too monstrous!"

"It's just practicing a stance; is this blood energy fluctuation going to suffocate us to death?"

Jiang Hao remained deaf to everything happening outside.

At this moment, he was looking at his Information Panel in shock!

[Ding, completed one practice session of "Nine Revolutions Stance Skill - Seventh Revolution"]

[Blood Qi Intensity increased slightly...]

As the set of stance exercises concluded.

Jiang Hao clearly felt his Blood Qi surge significantly!

Just one practice session!

My Blood Qi Intensity increased by 0.05?!

Jiang Hao's mind was stirred by waves of shock!

In the time it took to perform that single set of stance exercises.

His Blood Qi Intensity had soared directly from 9.07 last night to 9.12!

This is heaven-defying!

Is this the power of a Medium-grade Nutrient Solution?

"But this stuff is way too expensive."

Jiang Hao felt the medicinal power still surging within his body and thought to himself.

"Ten thousand Alliance Coins per bottle."

"It's burning money!"

"It's truly burning money."

Perhaps this is what it means to be in pain yet happy!

Currently, Jiang Hao had a little over thirty thousand Alliance Coins left in his hands!

The Alliance Coins his younger sister provided seemed like a drop in the bucket!

A Medium-grade Nutrient Solution would only last him three days at most; he estimated his Blood Qi Intensity could likely be pushed to around 9.5 or 9.6!

But even so!

Jiang Hao was extremely satisfied!

In the blink of an eye, it was time to leave school!

Jiang Hao practiced the Perfected Spearmanship once, and a notification sound indicating an increase in proficiency immediately appeared in his mind!

[Ding, completed one practice session of "Perfected Spearmanship"]

[Proficiency +1]

[Spear Mastery · Perfection (1/100)]

Following the notification sound!

In the depths of his consciousness, Jiang Hao felt as if the Spear Light on the tip of his Alloy Spear had gained an indescribable quality!

It seemed to have become sharper, more agile, and possessed greater piercing power!

Just as Jiang Hao was thinking this, Song Jun's voice suddenly rang out!

"After Basic Spear Mastery reaches perfection!"

"That is actually not the end!"

"Once Spear Light is produced, the next step is to comprehend Spear Intent!"

"If spear techniques are imbued with Spear Intent, then martial arts can be easily shattered!"

"When a spear martial art is imbued with Spear Intent, its power will increase exponentially!"

Song Jun walked into the Training Room step by step, looking at Jiang Hao with eyes filled with deep appreciation as he said, "Jiang Hao, your performance has exceeded my expectations!"
