Martial Arts Prodigy?

After Huang Bo said that, the classroom fell into an eerie silence.

Dozens of eyes turned toward him in unison!

As everyone knew, the first three realms of martial cultivation were: Qi and Blood, Impermeable, and Internal Breath.

From the moment one began cultivating, one's life entered a state of evolution, and the impurities within the body would gradually be expelled.

This purified the qi and blood and cleared the meridians, making cultivation more favorable.

But this was a long-term process, one that was usually difficult to notice in everyday life!

Normally, it was not until the Impermeable Realm was complete that the impurities in a martial artist's body would be almost entirely expelled.

After that, a balance would form—intake and expulsion...

But there were exceptions.

First: consuming certain rare martial treasures!

Second: possessing talent so terrifyingly high that it defied belief!

Only these two circumstances could allow a martial artist to complete Marrow Cleansing in a short time and leave others behind right from the start!

At this point, some stubborn fool was bound to ask: What if he just liked eating junk normally, and the impurities in his body had built up so much that the signs were more obvious?

If Huang Bo heard that, he would definitely slap them across the face.

What did they take this for? The more you ate, the more you shat?

Huang Bo also knew quite a bit about Chu Yuan's circumstances.

There was no way he could afford any rare martial treasures.

Which meant only one possibility remained... he was a martial arts genius!

At that thought, Huang Bo's gaze instantly turned scorching hot.

Chu Yuan felt rather uncomfortable under his stare.

And with his body all sticky and reeking... he answered helplessly, "I guess so? Can I go wash up first?"

"Go, go, go! Hurry up!"

It was only after Chu Yuan left the classroom that the room seemed to explode into uproar!

The boy who had been trading barbs with Huang Bo earlier, class monitor Yang Yi, asked impatiently, "Teacher! Chu Yuan, he... he really completed Marrow Cleansing?!"

"I still have that much discernment..." Huang Bo's expression was grave. He was an Internal Breath Realm martial artist and had taught for so many years—how could he possibly have judged wrong?

He hurried out as well, tossing back a single sentence: "Study on your own first!"

He had to report this to the principal at once...

Chu Yuan entered the restroom but did not turn on the tap.

With a thought, a wisp of faint magical power flowed through his entire body. In an instant, it swept away all the filth on him, gathering it in his hand into a tiny pellet of mud.

He then casually tossed it into the trash can...

In the brief few dozen minutes just now, his Evergreen Foundation Establishment Method had already reached the beginner stage and begun producing magical power within his body!

Still, Chu Yuan was somewhat confused.

Just which realm of martial cultivation did he correspond to now?

He naturally had not established his foundation, yet he could wield magical power.

But in the martial cultivation system, the first two realms were both devoted to tempering the flesh. Only at the third realm would one nurture internal breath that could be wielded.

Yet he clearly did not possess the combat strength of the third martial realm.

Couldn't figure it out, couldn't figure it out...

His frank admission that he had completed Marrow Cleansing earlier had also been deliberate.

Though he had acquired an immortal cultivation method, resources were necessary no matter what one cultivated!

Where would those resources come from? They certainly would not fall from the sky...

Only by displaying his own value could he receive the treatment he deserved!

As long as he did not expose his immortal cultivation method, the rest was nothing much. The world was vast, and he was hardly the only martial arts genius.

The greater his talent, the more resources he could obtain!

Just as he was pondering this, footsteps suddenly sounded outside.

Then a hunched figure walked in carrying a mop, his expression numb.

Chu Yuan glanced at him and quietly walked out.

This was the school janitor, someone who had worked at Chenyang No. 1 High School for over a decade.

Yet rumors circulated among the students.

They said that this janitor had once been Chenyang No. 1 High School's pride and joy as well! Full of youthful spirit!

He had even obtained a heaven-sent opportunity during a Secret Realm war!

It was the legacy inheritance of a seventh-rank martial arts expert...

Unfortunately, neither his strength nor his background was enough to let him protect that inheritance.

People of unknown identity had made their move, abducting his family and forcing him to hand over the inheritance;

In the end, they had even crippled him!

Back then, the school leadership could not bear to see him die miserably out there, so they had recruited him into the school... as though to serve as a warning...

As for that unsolved case, although the authorities had been furious, nothing ever came of it in the end...

Chu Yuan clenched his fists, warning himself once more!

He absolutely could not expose anything special about himself! It was enough to be an ordinary martial arts genius...

After returning to the classroom, Chu Yuan was once again greeted by a wave of staring eyes;

He paid them no mind and returned to his seat.

No one was foolish enough to come mock him. Everyone knew that Chu Yuan was bound to achieve something in the future—why offend him?

And as a transmigrator, although Chu Yuan had only been eighteen or nineteen before crossing over, he was still more mature than his peers now;

So he had always kept a low profile and had no enemies at school.

They were merely ordinary classmates...

But the class monitor, Yang Yi, dragged his chair over. He looked even more excited than Chu Yuan;

"Not bad, Chu Yuan! You underwent Marrow Cleansing right after you started cultivating!? How come I never noticed you were this damn awesome before!?"

Chu Yuan was somewhat speechless. "If you could have noticed, then you'd be even more damn awesome than me..."

Yang Yi laughed and jabbed Chu Yuan with his elbow. "Oh, great genius, got any special cultivation tricks? Give us mediocre folks some pointers, will you?"

His martial arts talent was not bad either. He had even gotten the Essence Tempering Technique started after watching the complete video once;

But he still could not compare to Chu Yuan...

"..." Chu Yuan actually could give him a few pointers;

After attaining entry into the Foundation Establishment Method, it had brought him more than just the emergence of spiritual power and the tempering of his body!

It was as if something even deeper had been awakened;

For instance, his hearing and vision were now exceptionally sharp, and he possessed the ability to remember anything at a glance! Even his thoughts moved faster than before!

His comprehension should have improved...

For a simple martial arts technique like Essence Tempering Technique, he only needed to recall it twice to grasp its essence!

But Chu Yuan also knew that Yang Yi was not really asking for guidance. He was merely teasing him.

The strength of such a basic technique lay in its simplicity and stability, and there were not many tricks to it;

He only needed to practice it a few more times. Fully mastering it was simply a matter of time...

And at that moment, in the principal's office...
