Cultivation Arts and Martial Techniques!

As Su Qingxue's words fell.

The entire underground training ground fell into a dead silence that lasted several minutes.

Everyone was frantically processing this worldview-shattering information.

Two hundred years.

Three hundred years.

Five hundred years.

A thousand years!

This was not about training super soldiers at all.

This was opening another path to the heavens for the evolution of human life!

Lin Yuan stood frozen in place, his hands and feet turning cold.

There was simply too much information.

So much that even a nobody like him felt as if he were about to suffocate.

"If Grandmasters in the future can live for a thousand years..."

"Why did you still lose?"

"Why did you come back through rebirth?"

After a long while.

With a dry throat, Lin Yuan asked the most fatal question.

Su Qingxue abruptly turned to look at Lin Yuan.

A crack finally appeared in her utterly emotionless eyes.

Fear.

An extreme flash of fear flickered through the woman's eyes.

"Because Ferocious Beasts evolve faster than humans."

"Their physical bodies are also stronger than those of humans."

"At the same level."

"It takes three to five fully armed human martial artists to barely hunt down one Ferocious Beast."

"And in the final catastrophe that destroyed Blue Star, an Eighth-Tier Ferocious Beast appeared."

Su Qingxue did not continue.

But everyone understood.

Humanity's strongest fighters were only at the Seventh-Tier Stage.

Against an Eighth-Tier Stage monster, it would be a one-sided slaughter.

"So what?"

"What does that have to do with me?"

Lin Yuan rubbed his cheeks hard with both hands, trying to force himself awake.

He was just a food delivery guy.

Even if Spiritual Energy Revival truly came in half a year.

With so many contingencies prepared by the country, there was no reason for him to worry about it.

Nie Dingguo said nothing, merely giving Su Qingxue a deep look.

Su Qingxue was the best person to answer that question.

"Because in your previous life, you were a miracle."

"The country did not begin popularizing Breathing Methods among civilians until the second year after Spiritual Energy Revival."

"You had no background, never joined the military, and received no special resources."

"In the fifth year, an unprecedented Beast Tide erupted in Shu Capital."

"Even the elite martial artists trained by the authorities had only reached the Peak Second-Order Stage at most."

"..."

At this point.

Su Qingxue stepped two paces closer and stared fixedly into Lin Yuan's eyes.

"Yet you, a complete nobody, also reached the Peak Second-Order Stage!"

"During the Beast Tide, you killed three Third-Tier Ferocious Beasts and countless Second-Tier Ferocious Beasts."

"In the end, you covered the civilians' retreat and died from exhaustion after being swallowed by a sea of Ferocious Beasts..."

"The upper echelons of humanity in later generations even made projections."

"As long as you had not died and had been given enough cultivation arts and resources."

"You, Lin Yuan, would have had an excellent chance of becoming the first Eighth-Tier martial artist in human history!"

Lin Yuan stood there blankly.

It was as though a bolt of lightning had split apart the chaos in his mind.

The Shu Capital Beast Tide?

Covering the civilians' retreat?

His parents ran a small convenience store in Shu Capital.

His younger sister, Lin Xiaoxiao, also attended university in Shu Capital.

If that future truly happened, how could he possibly retreat?

If he retreated, his family would be torn to pieces by Ferocious Beasts!

An indescribable pressure settled directly onto Lin Yuan's shoulders.

He did not want to be some savior.

He only wanted to make money and give his family a good life.

But the situation was clear now.

Without strength, the only path left was death.

Lin Yuan lowered his head and looked at his slightly reddened hands.

Silence.

A silence so deep that a pin drop could be heard.

Everyone was waiting for Lin Yuan's reaction.

Faced with expectations worthy of a chosen one...

An ordinary person would either become arrogantly irrational or be crushed outright by such terrifying responsibility.

But a moment later.

Lin Yuan slowly raised his head.

His gaze was calm.

It held the light of a nobody who had been driven into a corner and finally decided to risk everything.

"If I was so strong in my previous life."

"Can you formally teach me how to cultivate now?"

There was no refusal.

No grand declaration.

Only the most practical and direct request.

A trace of appreciation flashed in Nie Dingguo's eyes.

As expected of a man who had fought bloody battles in a Beast Tide.

His temperament far surpassed those flowers raised in greenhouses.

"Not yet."

Su Qingxue shook her head.

She walked to a tactical terminal and rapidly swiped across the screen.

"Before becoming official martial artists."

"Everyone can only use Breathing Methods to continuously temper their bodies."

At the same time.

Several complex diagrams of the human meridians appeared on the screen.

"This Basic Breathing Technique was compiled by the country in the previous life and promoted to all citizens."

"At this starting line, everyone is absolutely equal."

"Even."

"For official martial artists."

"Breathing Methods are also extremely important."

"The reason you were so strong in your previous life."

"Was because you trained the Basic Breathing Technique to an extreme beyond the reach of ordinary people."

"But that is still not enough."

"What determines a martial artist's upper limit and widens the gap in strength is true martial cultivation arts."

A trace of madness and pride flashed in Su Qingxue's eyes.

"To fight the Ferocious Beasts."

"Dragon Country in the previous life gathered the nation's greatest strategists and high-level martial artists."

"With the strength of the entire nation."

"We developed a complete system of martial inheritance!"

"Martial cultivation arts are divided into internal cultivation techniques and killing martial techniques."

"They are likewise divided from First Tier to Seventh Tier."

"The higher the tier, the faster the cultivation art absorbs spiritual energy and the more terrifying its unleashed power."

"However, the higher the tier, the more its cultivation difficulty increases geometrically."

"..."

Upon hearing Su Qingxue's words.

Nie Dingguo and the other military higher-ups began breathing rapidly again.

Cultivation arts!

These were the true priceless treasures!

Having spiritual energy but not knowing how to use it efficiently was like begging while sitting atop a mountain of gold.

"You have these cultivation arts?"

Nie Dingguo finally could not stop himself from asking.

"Yes."

Su Qingxue pointed to her head.

"In my previous life."

"As a senior commander of the Human Resistance Army, I had the authority to access the central database."

"I mastered dozens of cultivation arts tested in actual combat, and I have already organized them all."

After saying that.

Su Qingxue took a silver encrypted hard drive out of a safe.

"Inside this..."

"There is one Sixth-Tier internal cultivation art."

"Two Fifth-Tier cultivation arts and three Fifth-Tier martial techniques."

"Three Fourth-Tier cultivation arts and five Fourth-Tier martial techniques."

"And thirty-two Third-Tier Stage and lower cultivation arts and martial techniques in total."

This was madness.

Nie Dingguo felt that his heart was about to give out under this series of shocks.

A Sixth-Tier cultivation art!

Though it was not a Seventh-Tier Stage supreme cultivation art!

Blue Star now had far more time.

As long as they had these cultivation arts as a foundation.

With Dragon Country's capabilities, they would surely be able to develop even more powerful cultivation arts.

"The military may access these things at any time."

"But for you."

"If you want to cultivate these high-tier cultivation arts, you must first cross that threshold."

Su Qingxue ignored Nie Dingguo.

She fixed her gaze on Lin Yuan once more.

"Use the Basic Breathing Technique to break the shackles of your body."

"Condense a True Qi Vortex within your body and become a true First-Order Martial Artist!"

"As long as you take that step."

"This national martial arts treasury will be open to you at any time!"

At those words.

Lin Yuan clenched his fists.

Resources.

Cultivation arts.

In his previous life, he had nothing and could only fill the gap with his life.

In this life.

Dragon Country's top resources and strongest cultivation techniques lay before him.

"How do I train?"

Lin Yuan uttered only those three words.

He had no time to marvel at the wonders of fate.

There were only six months left until spiritual energy fully revived.

He had to grow stronger as quickly as possible.

In the shortest time possible.

Only then

could he possess enough strength to protect everything he cared about.
