I Really Am a Genius

Not far from the entrance to the Ten-Thousand-Jun Martial Room, Su Bo seemed to have entered a state of sudden enlightenment. With no distractions in his heart, he practiced the boxing forms within the Bixi Coiling Dragon Stance again and again.

At times, he resembled Bixi; at others, he seemed like the mountain-bearing Bixi.

Both form and spirit were complete. The Bixi Coiling Dragon Stance had entered the major mastery realm.

As Su Bo practiced the boxing stance of the Bixi Coiling Dragon Stance, invisible force spread through the air, and the phantom silhouette of Bixi seemed to faintly emerge.

The dragon might of Bixi, one of the Nine Sons of the Dragon, appeared with startling grandeur.

As the Bixi Divine Intent solidified within his spiritual world, threads of pure essence from inside the Ten-Thousand-Jun Martial Room were drawn over and absorbed into the Bixi Divine Intent.

Refined by the Divine Intent of the Bixi Coiling Dragon Stance, the essence condensed into strands of vital energy and blood that flowed into Su Bo's body.

The vital energy and blood throughout Su Bo's body also became increasingly weighty and solid.

Standing some distance away, Situ Ting stared solemnly into the void. When he saw that shadow of Bixi, shock and horror abruptly filled his eyes.

"Major mastery!" Situ Ting uttered two words.

"What major mastery, Boss..." Wu Bin's mind failed to catch up at once.

Mainly because he was merely in the Flesh Body Realm and could not sense the divine intent might of Bixi, one of the Nine Sons of the Dragon.

But he soon froze, disbelief written all over his face. His stiff neck turned bit by bit, until he could see Su Bo still practicing the boxing stance.

Following Situ Ting's gaze, wasn't that Su Bo?

Wu Bin swallowed hard. As if he were looking at a monster, he stared at Su Bo without blinking.

"Major mastery?"

"Are you kidding me?"

"The Bixi Coiling Dragon Stance reached major mastery in one day... no, one night?"

Wu Bin felt as though the sky were collapsing, as if even his martial heart were about to shatter.

Who would dare believe this?

Just yesterday, he had handed his cultivation insights to Su Bo with high hopes, thinking that he was Su Bo's teacher after all.

After all, Wu Bin had cultivated the [Bixi Coiling Dragon Stance] for years. He had long since mastered the stance art and was about to break through to the second martial realm—the Gang Realm.

With the guidance of his cultivation insights, Su Bo would be able to take fewer detours in his stance art.

But after just one night, Su Bo's stance art had reached major mastery?

Wu Bin silently raised his head to the sky, choked speechless. "Heavens, I was wrong. Su Bo really isn't your illegitimate son..."

"He should be your father, right?"

Situ Ting paid no attention to what this guy was thinking. He only stared at the boxing stance Su Bo was practicing. He himself had only cultivated the Coiling Dragon Stance to minor mastery.

If he could gain even a trace of the mysteries behind a major mastery stance art from Su Bo, perhaps he too could break through.

"It isn't just that his stance art has reached major mastery. This kid has even comprehended a trace of Bixi Divine Intent..."

What a pity... Situ Ting sighed inwardly.

At such close range, seeing with one's own eyes and comprehending another person's martial divine intent was an immense opportunity for any Divine Ability Realm martial artist.

He had cultivated the Bixi Coiling Dragon Stance to the peak of minor mastery many years ago.

Then he had been trapped at minor mastery, unable to break through to major mastery in stance art.

After watching Su Bo perform the major mastery Coiling Dragon Stance today, Situ Ting was confident that if he went back and contemplated it, he would most likely be able to break through to major mastery as well.

After all, his martial talent was not weak, nor was his comprehension poor.

Major mastery in the Coiling Dragon Stance meant little to him. After the Gang Realm, he had changed cultivation methods.

What he needed was to comprehend a trace of martial divine intent, fuse all his martial divine abilities into that divine intent, and step into the fourth realm to become a true martial colossus of the starry skies.

Rather than remain trapped forever on an ordinary life-bearing planet.

But comprehending martial divine intent was simply too difficult, too difficult...

Across the starry skies, under the Martial Alliance's rule, countless Divine Ability Realm martial artists were trapped at this threshold. Until their deaths, they never comprehended their own martial divine intent.

However...

Situ Ting's gaze toward Su Bo grew increasingly fervent.

To comprehend a trace of martial divine intent while still a prospective martial artist—Su Bo's future was already a hundred, a thousand, perhaps even ten thousand times greater than his.

As long as Su Bo did not perish midway, at the very least, he would become a martial colossus in his own right.

And as Su Bo's principal, all Situ Ting needed to do was invest in Su Bo's future... no, invest in his present, and help him grow quickly.

During that process, while Su Bo cultivated, he could also attempt to comprehend divine intent.

Perhaps one day, he would receive inspiration from Su Bo's divine intent, comprehend his own divine intent, and break into the fourth martial realm in one stroke?

Besides...

Investing in Su Bo meant investing in a future martial colossus.

Situ Ting still knew how to calculate that account.

"Divine intent... martial colossus, the fourth martial realm..."

Wu Bin was a little numb. He silently raised his head toward the heavens. "Heavens, I think Su Bo's seniority might need to be raised a little more..."

A prospective martial artist comprehending martial divine intent meant his martial path would begin at the fourth realm in the future.

Was Su Bo even human?

He asked it outright as well. "Boss, is Su Bo even human?"

"Rubbish!" Situ Ting rolled his eyes at him.

"A prospective martial artist comprehending martial divine intent... uh, I haven't heard of that. But there are plenty of Flesh Body Realm martial artists who have comprehended martial divine intent."

"Who?" Wu Bin hurriedly pressed.

"The disciple of the Martial Alliance's previous Alliance Leader, and the current Grand Elder of the Martial Alliance—Wang Yao!" Situ Ting said, his tone somewhat complicated.

Hearing it was such an important figure, Wu Bin shut his mouth.

But then he looked at Su Bo, who was slowly bringing his boxing stance to a stop, and muttered inwardly, A martial artist who comprehended martial divine intent became the Martial Alliance's Grand Elder...

Then if Su Bo comprehended it as a prospective martial artist, wouldn't he become the Martial Alliance Leader in the future?

Su Bo...

The boxing practice stopped, and the stance art came to a close.

Countless insights regarding the Bixi Coiling Dragon Stance surged into Su Bo's mind. He calmed his heart and absorbed the mysteries of the stance art like a sponge.

At the same time, he split off a thread of consciousness and looked at the proficiency panel.

Martial Arts: [Bixi Coiling Dragon Stance (Major Mastery 213/10000): Practice ten times daily, and it can reach perfection in thirty years]

Divine Intent: [Bixi Divine Intent (1%): View the Bixi Spirit-Form Diagram once daily, and it can reach perfection in a hundred years]

"Trash system..." Su Bo scorned inwardly.

Still, he was quite satisfied with this cheat of his.

Though his talent was strong and his comprehension high, and he had reached major mastery in the stance art entirely through his own efforts, the mysteries of major mastery had come from his cheat.

The moment the stance art entered the major mastery realm, the panel instilled all the mysteries of a major mastery stance art into him.

Had he needed to comprehend them bit by bit himself, it would have taken some time to gradually polish the stance art to its utmost limit.

It was far inferior to the panel's special ability, which directly filled his comprehension to the brim.

Next, he only needed to slowly absorb these insights. Then, like water naturally flowing into a channel, he could effortlessly break through to the perfected realm of stance art.

And obtain new martial traits.

Closing the panel, Su Bo sorted through the surging power of vital energy and blood within his body.

"One strand, plus seven wisps of vital energy and blood..." He looked at the blood dragon-like strand of vital energy and blood within him, as well as the seven small blood dragons circling around it.

He could even sense that his limit was about one strand and eight wisps of vital energy and blood.

Feeling his nearly complete vital energy and blood, as well as the power that was about to let him break through into a martial artist,

Su Bo said lightly, "I really am a genius~"

Situ Ting:...

Wu Bin:...
