"Master Li, I'd like to borrow someone from you."
"Oh? Who?"
"Which student in the academy is the strongest?"
"If we're talking strength, that would be Chen Dong. He was born with divine strength. After his First Blood-Qi Transformation, he possessed the strength of a thousand jin."
"Come to think of it, he's from your clan as well."
"Good. Him, then."
Chen Xun was overjoyed upon hearing this.
Great, someone strong. The stronger he was, the better the training results would be, and he would not have to go through the trouble of finding replacements again.
"You still haven't told me what you need him for."
"If it's anything dangerous, I won't lend him to you. Chen Dong is someone the Li Family plans to send for focused training in the future."
"It's nothing dangerous. I just need his help practicing a martial art."
"What martial art?"
"The Copper Body Art."
"What?"
Hearing that name, Li Mingyuan's eyes widened as he looked at Chen Xun in disbelief. "The Copper Body Art? The clan's only intermediate body-tempering martial art?"
"That's right. That one."
"You actually managed to learn such a martial art!"
Li Mingyuan looked at Chen Xun in surprise, a trace of anticipation appearing in his eyes.
"If you can cultivate this technique to Minor Accomplishment before the disciple recruitment tournament and then break through to the first Blood Exchange transformation, you might truly have a chance to win a spot and join Qingyun Martial Academy."
Chen Xun's expression turned somewhat strange after hearing that.
He took a moment to look at his current attribute panel.
[Cultivation: First Blood Exchange Transformation (3%)] [Martial Art: Copper Body Art (Minor Accomplishment 80/2000)]
So if I entered the disciple recruitment tournament now, I'd also have a chance to join Qingyun Martial
