Golden Body Medicine Bath Method

The other party had attacked him, a new classmate, at the slightest disagreement.

No matter how he looked at it, he could not accept such overbearing behavior.

By then, Sun Kong had also learned the full story from Jin Gang's brief account.

He could not help but feel a headache coming on.

He had tried many times to persuade Jin Gang to change his impulsive, hot-tempered habit of solving everything with his fists, but with little success.

After all, one's nature was not something that could be changed overnight.

But as the senior brother, seeing his junior brother suffer a loss, he had to win back their dignity regardless of the cause.

Otherwise, would people not look down on them?

"Lu Youyou, it seems your confidence has soared after your breakthrough."

Sun Kong turned to Lu Youyou. "I suppose you're not convinced about being ranked below me.

Why not take this chance to spar?"

"Bring it on! Who's afraid of who?"

Lu Youyou did not back down in the slightest. She thrust out her chest, Blood Qi faintly surging around her, her momentum no weaker than his.

The atmosphere in the classroom instantly became tense once more.

The surrounding students held their breaths, both nervous and expectant.

"That's enough. Stop making trouble."

A steady voice sounded at just the right moment, breaking the tense atmosphere.

A handsome young man with a calm bearing rose from his seat in the middle of the classroom.

He stood tall and straight, his gaze sweeping over Lu Youyou and Sun Kong with an unquestionable authority.

"Private fighting is forbidden in the classroom. That is a school rule.

"If you truly wish to exchange pointers, you can register at the Martial Arena and compete properly."

The speaker was Lu Qingfeng, the current class monitor of Class 1 and the second-ranked freshman.

Upon hearing this, Lu Youyou and Sun Kong both secretly sneered at each other.

When Jin Gang and Qin Yan had started fighting, he had not stepped in to stop them. Yet now he was putting on airs as the class monitor.

Still, they both understood that Lu Qingfeng had invoked the school rules and occupied the moral high ground.

If they insisted on fighting in the classroom, they would only put themselves in the wrong.

"Hmph, we'll settle this at the Monthly Exam!"

Lu Youyou made a face at Sun Kong's retreating back, then flashed Qin Yan a bright smile.

As though nothing had happened, she said, "Little Junior Brother, ignore them. Let's find somewhere to sit."

The disturbance was temporarily suppressed.

Qin Yan silently nodded and found an empty seat near the back of the classroom.

He appeared calm on the surface, but deep in his heart, the desire to grow stronger burned like wildfire.

"My strength is still insufficient..."

"If I had been strong enough, would Senior Sister have needed to step in today?

"If I possessed absolute strength, like... like Xiao Wangshu.

"Even if I sat in that seat, would Jin Gang have dared to attack without a word?"

He believed that if Xiao Wangshu, the top-ranked freshman, had wanted to sit there, Jin Gang would not only have dared not stop her—he probably would not even have dared to breathe loudly, only remaining silent.

That was the absolute right to speak that strength brought.

"I have to speed up my cultivation!

"Before the Monthly Exam, I must improve my strength as much as possible!"

The sense of urgency lashed at his heart like a whip.

Near the podium, seeing both sides stand down, Lu Qingfeng revealed a faint, barely noticeable smile of satisfaction.

He enjoyed this feeling of having the situation under control, of orders being obeyed without question. It made him feel that his authority had been acknowledged.

However, when his gaze inadvertently swept over Xiao Wangshu—the girl by the window who had remained quiet as a lotus, seemingly detached from everything—his brow unconsciously furrowed slightly.

He knew very well that he had not become class monitor because he was stronger than everyone else.

It was because that unfathomably powerful girl had no interest in the position.

She was like a silent mountain. Though she said nothing, she invisibly weighed upon everyone's hearts.

The position of class monitor rotated once every month. The rule was simple: whoever defeated the current class monitor could replace them.

And receive an additional monthly reward of 30 Credit Points.

These 30 Credit Points were no small resource for a freshman.

Fortunately... she had no interest whatsoever in power or the trivialities of management.

Lu Qingfeng secretly counted his blessings and buried that faint apprehension deep within his heart.

Before long, the class bell rang on schedule.

This class was Martial Arts History.

An elderly professor with graying hair but a vigorous spirit stepped onto the podium.

He turned on the projection, and his aged yet clear voice echoed through the classroom:

"Before 2025, a massive meteor tore through the sky and descended upon Blue Star...

It not only brought drastic geological changes, but also opened spatial rifts.

Countless Alien Races of all shapes and forms descended upon the land...

The old order collapsed, and hot weapons became far less effective against certain powerful Alien Races.

Humanity fell into an unprecedented crisis of survival...

It was precisely in that darkest hour that the potential hidden within the human body was awakened.

The illusory 'Qi' described in ancient texts was once again perceived and harnessed.

Thus, a path of martial cultivation belonging to humanity officially began...

Today, we will begin with the grand and turbulent Martial Calendar Year One, and study in detail the arduous rise of humanity's martial arts..."

The old professor spoke with great detail, slowly unfolding before these young Martial Artists a magnificent historical tapestry steeped in blood and fire.

Soon, the dismissal bell rang.

Qin Yan packed up his notes and headed to the cafeteria with Lu Youyou and Xiao Wangshu.

Lu Youyou was as lively as ever, chattering away about a historical figure mentioned during class.

Xiao Wangshu remained as cool and reserved as ever, only giving the occasional slight nod to show that she was listening.

When they reached the cafeteria, Xiao Wangshu and Lu Youyou habitually headed for the second floor.

Special meals rich in Blood Qi energy were served there. They were highly beneficial for cultivation, but also quite expensive.

"Little Junior Brother, are you really not coming upstairs with us to try it?

I heard they have a new dish today—Blazing Barbarian Beef!"

Lu Youyou warmly invited him, blinking her big eyes.

"Senior Sisters, you go ahead. I'll just grab something on the first floor."

Qin Yan said with a smile.

After spending the past few days with them, he had also figured it out.

His Little Senior Sister must come from an exceptionally wealthy family. Otherwise, there was no way she could afford to eat on the second floor so frequently.

Seeing that he was determined, Lu Youyou did not press him further.

She went upstairs with Xiao Wangshu.

Qin Yan ate alone in the first-floor dining area. He picked up a generous nutritious meal, found a corner, and quietly finished it.

Though the free food tasted ordinary, its nutrition was well-balanced, more than enough to support his current high-intensity training.

After eating, Qin Yan did not linger and headed straight back to his manor.

He did not immediately begin his afternoon training. Instead, he first returned to his bedroom.

He opened his Smart Bracelet, logged into the campus interface, and went directly to the logistics resource exchange section.

The Flesh and Skin Chapter of the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Spear recorded a complementary method known as the "Golden Body Herbal Bath," which could accelerate the tempering process.
