Night.
The lights were still on in the principal's office at Longxing Eighth Martial High.
Zhao Hongyuan was going through some documents when a knock suddenly sounded at the door.
"Come in."
As his voice fell, the door opened, and Luo Cheng, the Grandmaster mentor of the Senior Year Key Class, strode inside.
Zhao Hongyuan looked up in surprise and set down the light pen in his hand.
"Mentor Luo Cheng?"
"It's so late. Is something urgent?"
Luo Cheng walked in, barely able to hide the excitement on his face.
He got straight to the point.
"Principal, I'm here to apply for a higher level of treatment for a student."
Zhao Hongyuan froze at that!
Then he chuckled.
Leaning back in his chair, Zhao Hongyuan gave him an amused look.
"Don't tell me it's Jiang Hao again?"
"Just a couple of days ago, that Iron Face Song Jun went to bat for him and forced his treatment up from C-Class to B-Class."
"What?"
"You've only just gotten him B-Class Treatment for two days, and now you can't sit still either, Luo Cheng?"
Zhao Hongyuan assumed Song Jun had asked Luo Cheng to keep pushing for better treatment for Jiang Hao.
"Principal, you've got it wrong."
Luo Cheng shook his head and took a deep breath, calming his excitement!
Then he stepped forward, his voice more solemn than ever!
"Song Jun believes in him because of his potential and rate of progress."
"And I'm no different!"
"This time, I'm here to apply for A-Class Treatment for him!"
"A-Class?"
The smile on Zhao Hongyuan's face turned helpless. Then he said with a laugh, "And you're saying Song Jun didn't ask you to do this!"
"Principal!"
Luo Cheng cut Zhao Hongyuan off, then continued with complete seriousness!
"He deserves it!"
"This afternoon, during my martial arts practice class."
"Classmate Jiang Hao... had a sudden flash of insight and comprehended Spear Intent!"
Those words exploded in Zhao Hongyuan's mind like a thunderclap!
"What did you say?"
"Spear Intent?"
"Martial Dao Will?"
Luo Cheng had expected the principal's reaction. Without another word, he calmly brought up his Personal Terminal.
"Principal, seeing is believing."
"This is footage of the class recorded by the Virtual Immersion System."
A holographic image appeared in the middle of the office.
It showed Luo Cheng demonstrating his martial arts.
Then the image shifted, focusing on Jiang Hao in the crowd.
The footage showed it clearly.
When Luo Cheng thrust out a spear imbued with "force,"
Jiang Hao had fallen into a state of sudden enlightenment.
Immediately afterward,
an invisible, razor-sharp force surged skyward from Jiang Hao!
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The weapons on the rack could be heard clearly, their thousands of spears buzzing as they submitted!
A moment later,
the footage ended.
Silence fell over the office.
Light flickered in Zhao Hongyuan's eyes!
"It really is Spear Intent..."
Zhao Hongyuan murmured to himself.
"He's only just entered the Key Class, and he's already comprehended the Seed of Grandmaster!"
"What a promising talent!"
A smile appeared on Zhao Hongyuan's face!
"I thought our school's good fortune had run out after producing Su Qingning!"
"I never expected another Jiang Hao!"
"A second seed for Grandmaster!"
When he finished speaking, Zhao Hongyuan nodded repeatedly at Luo Cheng!
"Very well!"
"Starting tomorrow, Jiang Hao's treatment will officially be upgraded to A-Class!"
"As for the B-Class Nutrient Solution he's already received, let's count it as a reward for him!"

Jiang Hao had no idea his treatment was about to be upgraded again.
At that moment,
in the Jiang Family courtyard,
moonlight flowed like water.
Jiang Hao was immersed in his Stance Training.
He took up the Eighth Turn Stance of the Nine Revolutions Stance Skill.
With every breath and every movement, Jiang Hao could clearly feel his Blood Qi being tempered, growing more condensed and pure.
[ Ding, completed one "Nine Revolutions Stance Skill · Eighth Turn" practice ] [ Proficiency +1 ] [ Nine Revolutions Stance Skill Mastery - Eighth Turn (2/100) ]
Jiang Hao wore a look of enjoyment.
The tempering effect of the eighth turn was unbelievably satisfying!
The feeling of being able to clearly sense himself growing stronger with every passing moment
was enough to make any Martial Artist lose themselves in it.
The second round.
[ Ding, completed one "Nine Revolutions Stance Skill · Eighth Turn" practice ] [ Proficiency +1 ] [ Nine Revolutions Stance Skill Mastery - Eighth Turn (3/100) ]
The third round.
The fourth round.
The fifth round.
[ Nine Revolutions Stance Skill Mastery - Eighth Turn (5/100) ]
When he finished the fifth round,
Jiang Hao slowly ended his practice. The familiar soreness and fatigue had already begun to creep into his muscles.
With his current physical strength, five rounds of the Eighth Turn Stance Training were his limit.
"Time to take my medicine."
Without hesitation, Jiang Hao took out the High-grade Nutrient Solution Su Qingning had given him from the Thermostatic Metal Box in his pocket.
One hundred thousand Alliance coins!
Jiang Hao unscrewed the cap and took a light sniff. It had a sweet, fragrant smell!
He didn't hesitate. Tilting his head back, he drained it in one gulp.
A wave of heat, ten times more powerful than that from Medium-grade Nutrient Solution,
erupted in his abdomen like a volcano!
Jiang Hao's skin instantly turned red!
"What domineering medicinal power!"
Jiang Hao was startled. Daring not to slack off for even a moment, he immediately assumed the Eighth Turn Stance again!
"Refine!"
Jiang Hao circulated his Stance Training furiously, guiding that surging energy as it tempered his limbs and bones!
His muscles and meridians, already exhausted, instantly returned to peak condition as the energy washed through them!
The sixth round!
[ Proficiency +1 ]
The seventh round!
[ Proficiency +1 ]
The more Jiang Hao practiced, the more energized he became!
He even felt that the High-grade Nutrient Solution's medicinal power was still frighteningly abundant!
The eighth round!
The ninth round!
The tenth round!
[ Nine Revolutions Stance Skill Mastery - Eighth Turn (11/100) ]
"Whew!"
Only after finishing the tenth round did Jiang Hao finally let out a long breath of scorching white air.
The enormous medicinal power of the High-grade Nutrient Solution had also been mostly used up.
"Unbelievable."
"One High-grade Nutrient Solution actually let me practice the Eight Revolutions Stance Skill five extra times!"
Jiang Hao was thrilled.
Then he eagerly opened his Information Panel.
[ Host: Jiang Hao ] [ Strength: Martial Trainee (Blood Qi Intensity 10.49) ] [ Nine Revolutions Stance Skill Mastery - Eighth Turn (11/100) ] [ Martial Skills: Spear Intent (0/100), Tidal Wave Spear Technique · Minor Accomplishment (21/100) ]
"10.49!"
Jiang Hao stared at the number under Strength, his eyes lighting up!
"Just from this one training session!"
"My Blood Qi went from 9.99 all the way to 10.49!"
"That's a full 0.5 increase!"
"Gasp... insane!"
