Training and Improvement

"Advanced War God" clearance?

Zhuge Tao looked troubled. His elder brother Zhuge Shan had spent most of his life working hard, yet had only barely managed to break through to the War God level, and his strength was nothing special.

That meant he probably wasn't qualified to read this file either.

Only certain special departments of the five great nations could deal with the Limit Dojo in such a strictly official manner.

They represented the authority of the secular governments. Even the powerful HR Alliance wouldn't be this forceful.

Luo Feng recalled what had happened that day. He hadn't expected the "Mount Hua" Bai Yang had mentioned to be such a powerful organization. He hadn't known anything about it.

But that was Bai Yang's private business. Unlike Jiang Nian, he wasn't going to pry. He would simply pretend he knew nothing.

Bai Pianyong and Zhuge Tao both looked awkward now, unable to save face.

Neither of them actually knew the details of Bai Yang's situation, and neither felt comfortable asking the other. They could only act as if they'd forgotten about it and drop the subject.

Zhuge Tao certainly felt he'd lost face today. He feared the other two supervisors would now have more authority than him at the Limit Dojo, and regretted meddling.

Bai Pianyong, meanwhile, was rocked to his core. What Bai Sheng had told him now seemed like it might be true!

How could that be!?

No! I have to go find Xiaoyang and get to the bottom of this!

As the one who'd started it all, Bai Yang was training in his dormitory and had no idea any of this was happening.

After yesterday's incident, Principal Wei and Mei Xiaqing had both informed Lu Ting.

That very night, he'd raised Bai Yang's security clearance another level.

Unfortunately, he was only an Advanced War God himself. Otherwise, he would've wanted to classify Bai Yang's information at the Councilor Level.

He couldn't let something he'd already secured slip away, could he?

The formal report requesting better treatment for Bai Yang had already been submitted to his teacher, Jia Yi.

For now, every extra day he could buy was a day gained!

Bai Yang didn't concern himself with all the rumors and drama. He kept every day packed with training.

He devoted all his evenings to cultivating Genetic Origin Energy, using it in place of sleep for the most efficient use of his time.

During the day, he practiced techniques and movement.

Of his current direct combat abilities, his S-class swordsmanship was undoubtedly the strongest.

In the original One Punch Man, it was even said to be capable of "cutting atoms."

But in reality, that master swordsman had relied on his sword to some extent to achieve such an all-cutting effect.

Bai Yang didn't know how he compared to that character.

But after training for a while, he was certain that his sword strikes could reach the speed of sound.

That was an attack speed between Advanced War General and War God. It was also why he'd been so unstoppable against the three Bai sisters.

With his Perfect-level Movement Technique, he didn't fear facing several Advanced War Generals head-on.

After finishing another training session, Bai Yang put down his phone in frustration.

"I can't find it. Still can't find it.

"There aren't any videos of Conception-level movement techniques, not on the public internet or the military academy's intranet."

If he hadn't been so familiar with the original story and known for certain that this level existed, he would've suspected his memory was wrong.

The available instructional videos mainly taught the Micro-level.

Even teachers struggled to explain Perfect Level in words while demonstrating it in person. It required insight.

As for Conception-level, it was an even more ineffable level of skill. There wasn't a single video recording of it.

It seemed no one had ever seen it, yet everyone spoke with absolute certainty that it existed.

He'd used Micro-level videos to advance his movement technique to Perfect Level long ago.

But when it came to something like Conception-level, with no example to follow, even his talent couldn't help him.

He was stuck at the threshold of the next level, unable to move forward. It was maddening.

"Do I really have to get cultivation techniques from the universe before I can break through? That'll take too long."

Bai Yang was frustrated. For a martial artist, the strength of their movement technique directly affected their combat power.

The Golden Horned Behemoth would invade Earth, and he had to strengthen himself as much as possible to protect himself and the people close to him.

It would arrive in the Hawaii Islands in late August 2057.

Then, on January 13, 2060, it would reach Star Rank and begin its attack on New York. In three days, it would sweep across the globe before Luo Feng killed it and took over its body.

He didn't have much time. By then, he'd need enough strength to overwhelm this Starry Sky Behemoth if he wanted to minimize the damage to Earth.

His cheat was called the Earth Defense System. The more he contributed when the time came, the greater his rewards would be.

Knowing there was nothing he could do about it for now, Bai Yang contacted Principal Wei. "Principal, can I use the place I applied for?"

"You can. Just go to East District Building 3. It's yours for the whole summer. Swipe your student card to open the door."

"Thank you so much! I'll head over now."

The principal really came through!

He'd only mentioned it to him on a whim, and the principal had already taken care of it.

Following the electronic navigation on his phone, Bai Yang made his way to a remote corner of the school's eastern district.

He found a huge five-story building. This was Building 3.

It used to be a large indoor basketball court.

But it had later been abandoned and was no longer in use. Sometimes it was used as a warehouse.

If he wanted to keep his secret, this was the perfect place to train.

He still had another trump card: Psychokinesis.

It was only at the level of an A-Class Hero, but it was already enough to indirectly strengthen his combat power.

Unlike Spiritual Force, this ability didn't need a medium to act directly on the human body.

After getting used to it a little, Bai Yang slowly rose into the air, supported by his own psychokinetic power.

Monster King's astonishing comprehension clearly helped him use psychokinesis as well.

Before long, he could control himself and perform all kinds of flying maneuvers in the air.

This agility and convenience far surpassed that of ordinary Spirit Readers.

Bai Yang spread out his psychokinetic power, splitting it into two layers concentrated beneath his feet and on the ground.

With a slight push of his legs, he shot forward.

There was no material between the two layers of psychokinetic force, so there was no friction at all.

It was as if he were standing on an invisible track, and his body moved several times faster.

By continually replenishing the psychokinetic force beneath his feet, he could stay as fast as a whirlwind and remain highly mobile, so long as he didn't run out of energy.

Before long, Bai Yang had grasped the basics of this technique. All that remained was to try reinforcing his weapon with psychokinesis to increase its power.

That was much harder, because his sword was too fast.

Getting his psychokinetic force to keep up and maintain the enhancement long enough to increase his attack power was naturally a lot more troublesome.

But it was only early July. He had plenty of time to improve and get used to it.

He would take every opportunity to strengthen his combat power.
