Cocoon-Breaking Power, Rebirth

"War God's Heart?"

"That sounds pretty impressive."

Su Yuan stared at the information on the panel, his eyes gleaming with wild joy.

Then, Su Yuan hurriedly checked the effects of the "War God's Heart."

[Crimson War God's Heart: After walking a thousand kilometers, you successfully triggered the potential within your body and gained "Cocoon-Breaking Power."]

The next instant, before Su Yuan could react, a sudden upheaval erupted within his body.

Realizing something was wrong, Su Yuan hurriedly looked around for a restroom.

He rushed into the men's restroom, unable to suppress the restless turmoil inside him any longer.

His five senses were transforming. His field of vision widened, his perception sharpened, and his hearing became more acute.

Listening closely, he could faintly hear the sound of his own heart beating.

Inside his body, his blood surged at high speed and his marrow boiled. The immense changes made Su Yuan furrow his brow.

It was not as painful as he had imagined. Instead, it felt somewhat... comfortable?

Because he cultivated the Lightning-Attribute Breathing Technique, even the foul air Su Yuan exhaled was pale blue.

Suddenly, Su Yuan felt the strength throughout his body changing. He opened the panel and looked at the realm section.

[Realm: 58.2 Blood Qi (Uninitiated Martial Artist)]

He vaguely felt that Cocoon-Breaking Power had elevated him from an ordinary genius to a top-tier genius.

His potential and talent had leaped across several levels at once!

Time slowly passed, and five minutes slipped by.

The effects of Cocoon-Breaking Power faded. Su Yuan felt better than he ever had before.

His entire body brimmed with unimaginable strength.

Glancing at the realm section, Su Yuan was utterly satisfied.

[Realm: 72.2 Blood Qi (Uninitiated Martial Artist)]

Without any effort at all, he had gained 14 Blood Qi.

Under normal cultivation, that would probably have taken several months.

[Having gained Cocoon-Breaking Power, you shattered every shackle within your body. Like a hidden dragon emerging from the abyss, the martial path will henceforth be yours to soar across.]

[Conditions to unlock Orange War God's Heart: Not unlocked]

"Talent has stages too."

Su Yuan muttered as he looked at the panel, then broke into another delighted smile.

"In other words, I finally don't have to walk every day anymore."

"I can return to normal cultivation!"

"I've waited two and a half months for this day. My chance to rise has finally arrived."

He lightly clenched his fist, and the goal in Su Yuan's heart gradually became clear.

His next step was to break into the top of Third Class, then challenge for first place in the grade.

He wanted to get into a top martial arts university!

A top martial arts university meant more cultivation resources and opportunities.

In this world, Secret Realms, mutant beasts, and cults were everywhere. Without sufficient strength, one simply could not survive in peace.

Su Yuan's parents in this body had died after entering No. 37 Secret Realm. He had no intention of repeating their fate.

Only possessing great strength could give him true confidence.

Walking out of the men's restroom and onto the field, Su Yuan took a deep breath, raised his head to the sky, and looked more confident than ever before.

"What's Su Yuan doing? He just went to the restroom. It's not like that should make him this happy, right?"

The moment Su Yuan appeared, he immediately drew the attention of a few classmates.

Su Yuan's current situation was similar to that of a fallen genius, so it was only natural that some people were curious about him.

Under the watchful eyes of those few students, Su Yuan suddenly moved.

"Is Su Yuan practicing Thunderclap Fist? He finally decided to cultivate?"

"Is it really not too late for him to start now? The assessment is only half a month away. Cramming at the last minute probably won't work..."

Ignoring his classmates' remarks, Su Yuan began his first cultivation session since transmigrating.

Li Youfeng had been leisurely scrolling through his phone in the distance. Hearing the quiet discussion among the students, he suddenly looked up at Su Yuan.

"Holy crap!"

"Su Yuan has started cultivating!"

Putting away his phone, Li Youfeng rushed over like a gust of wind and stopped fifteen meters away from Su Yuan.

Crackling sounds erupted along with thunderous blasts from Su Yuan's swinging fists.

At first, Su Yuan's movements were quite clumsy. Yet after merely thirty seconds, it was as though he had practiced thousands of times, his movements becoming incomparably smooth.

As he cultivated, Su Yuan opened the panel.

[Martial Skill: Thunderclap Fist (35%)]

In no time at all, his cultivation progress had increased by five percent!

As a Third-Realm Martial Artist, Li Youfeng could naturally see the changes in Su Yuan's fist technique.

"Something's wrong!"

"Something's wrong with Su Yuan's movements!"

His eyes narrowed slightly, and an incredulous expression appeared on his face.

The thunderous sounds grew louder and louder. As Su Yuan practiced Thunderclap Fist, he also breathed according to the Concise Thunder Breathing Method.

Without realizing it, the surrounding students had all gathered around. Like Li Youfeng, several of them wore expressions of astonishment.

Ding ding ding—

The dismissal bell rang. When Su Yuan stopped practicing Thunderclap Fist, everyone else finally came back to their senses.

"Gulp... Su Yuan's Thunderclap Fist is probably close to Minor Achievement, isn't it?"

"I think he's already reached Minor Achievement. If that punch hit me, I'd probably be laid up in the hospital for ten days or half a month."

"That's too outrageous. Did Su Yuan really come to his senses and pick martial arts back up?"

For a moment, an uproar broke out.

Li Xingyu, Liu Simeng, and Zhang Hengqi watched vigilantly. The three of them were the top three students in Third Class.

The power Su Yuan had displayed with Thunderclap Fist was clearly not far behind theirs.

The other students only saw the surface, but Li Youfeng's gaze gradually deepened, and his heart began to race for no reason.

Could Su Yuan have been in Heart Cultivation all this time?

But at his age, how could he possibly have entered the Heart-Nourishing Stage?

The way Li Youfeng looked at Su Yuan became increasingly strange.

This kid was a little too outrageous.

"Class dismissed."

Only after Li Youfeng spoke did the students gradually leave.

"Unbelievable. Our school might be about to produce a super genius."

"I need to report this to the principal right away."

Li Youfeng thought to himself before quickly leaving the field.

"Su Yuan, congratulations on picking martial arts back up."

On the way to the martial arts training room, Guo Peng, Su Yuan's deskmate, spoke to him sincerely.

Su Yuan smiled lightly at that. "Thanks."

"By the way, when did your Thunderclap Fist become so strong? With that kind of force just now, one punch probably had two hundred kilograms of power, right?"

"I don't know. Maybe I've come to terms with things. My state of mind is different now."

Su Yuan casually came up with an excuse to brush him off.

"I see."

A hint of relief flashed through Guo Peng's eyes.

He had truly been afraid that Su Yuan would remain depressed, abandon martial arts, and ruin himself.

In this world, those who did not cultivate martial arts had no place to stand.

He had not expected Su Yuan to come around on his own.

Perhaps people around him had persuaded him so often that he suddenly figured things out.

Guo Peng sincerely admired Su Yuan. Even after the mental blow caused by Xu Ya, he could still display such powerful talent on the martial path.

He believed it was only a matter of time before Su Yuan returned to the top five in class.

None of the students in the class knew that Su Yuan's parents had died. Only the teachers knew.

When they arrived at the martial arts training room, a group of people followed in a minute later.

Second Class of the third year had martial arts class at the same time as them.

"Isn't this the great genius Su? Why weren't you wandering around the field during break today?"

"Could it be that the great genius Su has finally come to his senses?"

A sarcastic voice suddenly came from behind Su Yuan.

Guo Peng turned around to glance at the person, then wore a helpless expression.
