Qi-Blood Limit Break

The Warm-up Tournament had ended.

Aside from Chen Yu and Zhao Tianyi, what was rather surprising was that Hao Xi had also chosen Huaying Martial University.

As for Wang Qianjun, he had chosen Imperial Capital Martial University, supposedly because one of his elders taught there.

Other than Chen Yu, everyone else had received only C-Rank Contracts.

But that was already enough to make them ecstatic.

The rank of a contract did not merely represent an investment; it also represented recognition of their talent.

With this status, they could choose better instructors upon entering a Martial University and gain an advantage from the starting line.

"An A-Rank Contract..." Even after leaving River City Stadium, Zhao Tianyi was still deeply moved.

"I thought getting a B-Rank Contract would already be impressive. I never expected it to be an A-Rank Contract!"

Even Hao Xi could not help saying, "The last time someone from River City signed an A-Rank Contract with one of the Three Elite Universities was ten years ago."

"After that senior graduated, I heard he went directly to New Moon to develop his career. He now seems to be a powerful figure there."

Wang Qianjun looked at Chen Yu and praised, "That's truly incredible."

Only two months.

In just two months, Chen Yu had surpassed them, River City's famed martial arts geniuses.

Wang Qianjun admired him immensely.

This was someone with boundless potential!

With the talent Chen Yu had displayed, he would be fully qualified to develop in New Moon in the future. Perhaps he might even secure a place there someday.

Achieving that as a Biohuman could be called legendary.

"New Moon..."

Chen Yu was immensely curious about this place that had previously appeared only in the news.

According to Lao Fang, New Moon had locked down Crimson Radiance Star's technology and its possibility of communicating with the outside world.

Only by entering New Moon would he have a chance to leave Crimson Radiance Star.

"Soon. Soon."

"I've already been admitted to Huaying Martial University. After that, I'll be qualified to go to New Moon."

"Then, using New Moon as a stepping stone, I'll enter the stars and witness this vast world."

"And finally... prepare for Humanity's Battle of Myriad Stars!"

Chen Yu had mentioned his goal of participating in the Battle of Myriad Stars only to Fang Xiong. No third person knew of it.

After all, before he accomplished it, saying it aloud would only invite ridicule.

Night fell, with a bright moon and sparse stars.

"First fusion target: [Fluid Movement (Blue)]."

Sitting cross-legged on his bed, Chen Yu began tallying up the gains from this trip.

Most Yellow-Quality Talents were of little use. He might as well use them as fusion materials to improve his martial arts talents.

Unfortunately, even after the Warm-up Tournament and the acquisition of so many talents, it was still far from enough to raise [Martial Dao A-grade Bone (Cyan)] to Purple Quality.

Thus, Chen Yu decided to improve his other talents first.

And [Fluid Movement (Blue)] came from Die Xiaoxiao. Chen Yu had been quite envious of it.

Learning a movement technique and pairing it with the Thunder Extreme Saber would let him advance to attack or retreat to defend. It would be extremely useful.

At the very least, if he encountered danger, he would be able to run faster than others.

With a thought from Chen Yu, [Fluid Movement (Blue)] was immediately selected as the fusion target.

The next moment, numerous talents slowly vanished, and the fusion progress soared all the way to 100%.

[Movement Prodigy (Cyan)]: Movement technique cultivation efficiency is eighty times that of an ordinary person. Light as a swallow, with a nimble physique.

The instant the fusion was completed, Chen Yu sharply noticed the change.

Though he had not yet learned a single movement technique, his body felt much lighter, as if gravity had opened a small back door for him.

"Tomorrow, I'll pick a suitable movement technique. Reaching the Proficient Stage before the Martial Exam shouldn't be a problem!"

Chen Yu thought excitedly.

A Cyan Quality Talent represented the top level of talent in an entire nation. Such talents were rare indeed.

There was still one month until the Martial Exam, enough time for him to train a movement technique to the Proficient Stage.

Afterward, Chen Yu fell into thought again.

"What should I improve for my second fusion talent?"

He currently had three Blue Talents: [Fortune's Blessing (Blue)], [Keen Perception (Blue)], and [Gluttonous Factor (Blue)].

[Keen Perception (Blue)] allowed him to sense an opponent's level of strength. Improving it would most likely let him sense those in the Body Tempering Realm, which would not be of much help to his martial cultivation.

So Chen Yu discarded that option first.

As for [Gluttonous Factor (Blue)], it was very helpful for cultivation and could speed up digestion.

But Chen Yu's digestive ability was already close to perfect. Even if he upgraded it to Cyan Quality, he had no idea what new function it would gain.

Moreover, this talent was more effective against cult beliefs, but Chen Yu felt that he probably would not encounter any cults anytime soon.

"I'll improve my fortune."

"Sharpening the axe won't delay the chopping of wood. If my fortune improves, I might gain more benefits."

Chen Yu thought to himself.

The opponents he encountered in the future would likely possess heaven-defying fortune. Without comparable fortune to counterbalance it, he felt somewhat uneasy.

"Second fusion target: [Fortune's Blessing (Blue)]."

In the next instant, all the talents remaining from the Warm-up Tournament vanished, except for [Sudden Inspiration (Yellow)].

The fusion progress also instantly soared to 100%.

[Fortune's Blessing (Cyan)]: The fortune of a nation.

The description was simple, but its effect was extremely domineering.

Cyan Quality fortune meant that Chen Yu's fortune had already reached the pinnacle of an entire nation.

"Fortune... intangible, yet incredibly important."

Chen Yu sighed.

Still, he kept Fang Xiong's teachings in mind. Fortune was only supplementary; one's own strength was the foundation of everything.

Without strength as a foundation, even if an opportunity was placed before him, he would most likely be unable to seize it.

"Star-Treading Stance, activate!"

Before the Martial Exam, Chen Yu was determined to reach the Body Tempering Ninth Layer, or even... the Body Tempering Peak.

The Warm-up Tournament had been held rather discreetly, so not many people knew about it.

But within River City's circle of geniuses, Chen Yu's name was still spreading wildly. More and more people learned of him, and some were even investigating exactly who he was.

Martial Madman!

After ten years, River City had produced another A-Rank Contract recipient!

These titles began appearing before River City's powerful and wealthy figures for the first time.

Although Chen Yu had not yet entered Huaying Martial University, those who knew of his deeds could already foresee his brilliant future.

Jiangcheng No. 2 High School, Martial Arts Class.

"You really took first place, huh? I heard the process was quite interesting?" Fang Xiong's tone carried some surprise.

In just two months, an unknown Biohuman had grown to this extent. Even he could not help but be astonished.

"Just luck, just luck." Chen Yu chuckled, then said, "Teacher, about what you promised last time..."

He remembered it very clearly. Fang Xiong had promised him a reward if he took first place in the Warm-up Tournament.

"You brat only remember this sort of thing best." Fang Xiong smiled helplessly, but he had no intention of going back on his word.

His expression suddenly turned serious as he looked at Chen Yu.

"Chen Yu, I wonder if you've ever heard of..."

"Qi-Blood Limit Break!"
