Blood Qi Assessment, Explosive Growth

[Name: Su Yuan]

[Age: 17]

[Realm: 77.8 Blood Qi (Uninitiated Martial Artist)]

[Talent: Crimson War God's Heart]

[Breathing Method: Concise Thunder Breathing Method (57%)]

[Martial Skill: Thunderclap Fist (89%)]

Over fifteen days, Su Yuan's progress had been nothing short of remarkable.

His Blood Qi Value had increased by 5.5, greatly improving his physical condition. His strength and speed had become even more formidable.

As for his breathing method, the Concise Thunder Breathing Method, which was nearing Minor Achievement, provided Su Yuan with an even greater boost.

With Thunderclap Fist at the Great Accomplishment level, Su Yuan did not dare imagine what kind of shocking number he would produce if he struck the punching-force tester.

The current Su Yuan was fully confident that he could face Lin Jie's Mountain-Suppressing Spear head-on.

Lin Jie was improving as well, but Su Yuan believed that his own rate of progress far surpassed Lin Jie's.

"Once Thunderclap Fist reaches perfection, I should start considering what weapon to use."

"Also, I need to find a matching martial skill. Thunderclap Fist's attack methods are a little too limited."

Su Yuan got out of bed and pondered his upcoming preparations while washing up.

After changing into his school uniform, Su Yuan headed out for school.

He casually ate five large meat buns on the way before entering the classroom.

"Su Yuan, today is the Blood Qi assessment. Are you nervous?"

Guo Peng had arrived even earlier than Su Yuan. Seeing him take his seat, he spoke up.

"I'm fine. Not nervous."

"What about you? Are you nervous? Can you hold on to fifteenth place?"

Guo Peng hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth. "There shouldn't be a problem."

"My parents bought me a certain amount of Blood Qi Supplements during this period, and they even hired a Second-Realm Intermediate Martial Artist as a private tutor."

"Keeping a spot in the top fifteen shouldn't be a problem."

After hearing that, Su Yuan inwardly sighed. It really was nice to have loving parents.

A Second-Realm Intermediate Martial Artist as a private tutor—just hearing it sounded expensive.

"Su Yuan, I'm looking forward to seeing you return to the top five."

After some hesitation, Guo Peng suddenly smiled at Su Yuan.

"You're not the only one. I'm also curious how high Su Yuan's ranking will shoot this time."

"He was forty-second last month. This time, Su Yuan has a chance to challenge the top three."

"That should be impossible, right? Liu Simeng and Zhang Hengqi aren't pushovers. Their Blood Qi Values are pretty high."

Hearing Guo Peng's words, the students around Su Yuan all looked over with interested expressions.

Su Yuan remained expressionless, but he could not help joking inwardly. You'll find out this afternoon.

"Ahem."

With a light cough from the academic teacher, the morning's academic classes officially began.

1:10 p.m.

Everyone from Class Three, Senior Year, gathered in the martial arts training room.

At the front, Zhang Yan stood with his hands behind his back, chest raised as he looked at the students.

Off to the side, Li Youfeng had pulled over a small stool and sat in the corner.

He had come specifically to observe. In any case, there was nothing for the PE teacher to do right now.

"Today."

"Is the day to assess the results of your month of training."

"I won't repeat the rules. The bottom five in the rankings will report to Class Six after school. The Elite Class does not keep idlers."

"We'll begin with last month's first place and test Blood Qi Values in order."

After Zhang Yan finished speaking, he pointed at the Blood Qi testing device beside him. It had just been moved over.

Li Xingyu immediately stepped out of the line with his head held high.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, he stood before the Blood Qi testing device.

After an iris scan, the screen of the Blood Qi testing device displayed:

"Li Xingyu, Blood Qi Value: 87.8."

"Not bad."

Zhang Yan glanced at it and spoke loudly.

Seeing that Blood Qi Value, Liu Simeng and Zhang Hengqi both felt an inexplicable pressure in their hearts.

Li Xingyu's improvement rate was much faster than theirs.

As for the other students, they had long since gotten used to it.

As the unquestioned number one in Class Three, it was hardly surprising for Li Xingyu to possess such a Blood Qi Value.

Next, Liu Simeng stepped forward, and the Blood Qi testing device displayed:

"Liu Simeng, Blood Qi Value: 84.2."

A wave of disappointment filled her heart as Liu Simeng returned to the line with heavy steps.

Zhang Hengqi followed right after her.

"Zhang Hengqi, Blood Qi Value: 84.0."

As expected of childhood sweethearts. Their Blood Qi Values are so close, many people thought at the same time.

However, Liu Simeng had always remained a step ahead of Zhang Hengqi.

Even when their Blood Qi Values occasionally matched, Zhang Hengqi still could not beat Liu Simeng.

Zhang Yan had not spoken since Li Xingyu's test. Following last month's rankings, the students stepped forward to test themselves.

Li Youfeng idly scrolled through his phone nearby. The farther down the rankings they went, the lower the Blood Qi Values became. There was not much to see.

Before long, it was Su Yuan's deskmate Guo Peng's turn.

Guo Peng walked blankly to the Blood Qi testing device. A few seconds later, the screen displayed:

"Guo Peng, Blood Qi Value: 71.5."

Staring at the Blood Qi Value, Guo Peng revealed an expression of relief.

With that Blood Qi Value, a place in Class Three's top fifteen was secure.

He had ranked fifteenth last month. This month, he did not seek improvement; he only wanted to keep fifteenth place.

Everyone else was simply too competitive. Guo Peng could not compete with them.

In terms of financial resources, he could not compare with the others either.

For Guo Peng, not slipping backward was already the greatest improvement.

Su Yuan had been forty-second last month, so it would still be some time before his turn.

Time slowly passed. More than ten minutes later, it was finally Su Yuan's turn.

At once, everyone's eyes focused on Su Yuan.

Li Youfeng, who had been playing on his phone, slipped it into his pocket and stared at Su Yuan without blinking.

Su Yuan stepped forward without the slightest sign of panic on his face. His dark eyes were calm and steady.

Standing before the Blood Qi testing device, Su Yuan underwent the iris scan. Then, his Blood Qi Value abruptly appeared on the screen.

"Su Yuan, Blood Qi Value: 77.2."

"How much?"

The small stool beneath Li Youfeng instantly shattered. In a flash, he appeared before the Blood Qi testing device, his eyes fixed fiercely on the number on the screen.

Zhang Yan's expression was not much better. His tiger-like eyes widened, his mouth hanging open in stunned disbelief.

Li Xingyu and the other students were all frozen stiff, looking as though they had been struck by lightning.

A month ago, Su Yuan's Blood Qi Value had been 56.2. A month later, it had jumped to 77.2?

They suspected that the Blood Qi testing device had malfunctioned.

Su Yuan's Blood Qi Value had not originally been 56.2, but 75.0.

However, after suffering a double blow from the campus beauty and his parents, combined with the original owner's suicide attempt causing all the Blood Qi in his body to flow in reverse, his Blood Qi Value had rapidly declined.

All the students had assumed that Su Yuan had given up on himself after being rejected by the campus beauty Xu, causing his Blood Qi to reverse and plummet.

In truth, it was the mental blow combined with the suicide attempt that had caused the original owner's Blood Qi to decline.

But in just one month, he had cultivated his Blood Qi Value back, and even raised it beyond its previous level?

Su Yuan was simply too monstrous.

That was what Li Xingyu and the others were thinking.

"The device can't be wrong. Su Yuan's Blood Qi Value really is 77.2."

Still shocked, Zhang Yan inspected the Blood Qi testing device inside and out several times, but found no damage whatsoever.

"The school's Blood Qi testing device has quite a large margin of error."

Staring at the value on the screen, Su Yuan thought to himself.

The Blood Qi Value on his panel was 77.8, a difference of 0.6 between the two.

"Hahaha, as expected of—"

Li Youfeng suddenly burst into uninhibited laughter, but before he could finish saying "Heart Cultivation," Zhang Yan covered his mouth with a hand.
