April 3rd, sunny.
Combat training.
Many students, after the initial novelty of the first class wore off, still arrived at the training ground early.
There was no way around it; the young man was simply infatuated.
The combat instructor, Bai Xiuxiu, is incredibly charming.
With her gentle appearance and aloof temperament, the stark contrast between them easily ignites a man's desire to conquer.
Ning Chuan stood in the crowd, in a good mood.
Under the pouring sunlight, her skin shone with a delicate, jade-like smoothness.
His Vajra Body has advanced to the fifth level this morning.
Strangely enough, as I advanced through the Vajra Body martial art, my skin didn't become rough; instead, it gradually became fair and smooth.
"However, advancing to higher levels will become increasingly difficult in the future."
Ning Chuan thought to himself.
After reaching the fifth level of the Vajra Body, the progress of the medicine pack's enhancement slowed down by more than half again.
One dose of medicine can only improve the effect by about 3 percentage points.
Once you advance to the sixth level, the progress will likely only be 1 percentage point remaining.
The number of floors will continue to decrease from the seventh to the ninth.
Even if there are enough medicine packets, it will still take several years to prepare.
"This is only the incomplete version of the Vajra Body. If it were the complete version, there would be nine more levels!"
Ning Chuan shook his head.
No wonder everyone says that martial arts requiring external strength are difficult to master.
It takes quite a bit of time!
If anyone nearby could see through Ning Chuan's intentions, they would definitely draw their swords and chop him down without hesitation.
That's absolutely inhuman!
It should be known that even top geniuses who cultivate the Vajra Body and wish to advance to the fifth level must practice diligently day and night for twenty or thirty years!
Soon after, the course officially began.
Bai Xiuxiu stood tall and straight, like a sharp sword, and said, "When it comes to unarmed combat, external martial arts training is of paramount importance!"
The two fighters are evenly matched; whoever has a stronger martial arts technique will win!
Even if there is a gap in fighting skills, it can be made up for by practicing external martial arts techniques.
In the game's parlance, physical martial arts training is all about health points.
With so much health, I can grind you down to death!
Ning Chuan smiled silently.
Bai Xiuxiu was more interesting than he had imagined; he had thought she was a quiet, aloof woman.
"How many of you practice external martial arts? Raise your hands so I can see."
Bai Xiuxiu looked around at the students.
Wow!
A large number of arms eagerly rose up.
Ordinary people generally don't practice external martial arts because it's too energy-consuming. However, the students present, with their top-notch talent, can still learn one of them.
"Good."
Bai Xiuxiu smiled slightly and stretched out her slender right hand to the side.
A staff member immediately rushed over and placed a long whip in her hand.
" Instructor Ma tested your agility using the Machine Gun Realm, so I'll test your external martial arts with the power of a long whip." Bai Xiuxiu gripped the whip tightly and said with a smile, "How many lashes your body can withstand is how much power you can withstand!"
boom!
As she spoke, Bai Xiuxiu cracked her whip, producing a deafening explosion in mid-air.
A small wisp of white smoke radiated outwards.
Many students paled in shock.
Bai Xiuxiu's whip struck with a sonic boom.
That is, an attack that breaks the sound barrier.
The radiating white smoke is the remnant of the sonic boom cloud.
Normally, only Knight can unleash a sonic attack.
However, the long whip is a special weapon. The power of its penetration can continue to burst along the whip, driving the speed behind it to increase continuously and become faster and faster.
Ning Chuan had seen the relevant explanation in a physics textbook.
I even made a special note of it, since the teacher had specifically reminded me that it wasn't on the test last year, and I was worried it might happen this year.
Don't worry too much!
Bai Xiuxiu patted her hand and laughed, "Only a small portion of the substance can penetrate the sound barrier. It's lightweight and soft, so its power is actually quite small, completely Dharma Aspect to a bullet!"
" Instructor Bai, well, my external martial arts skills are only at the Initiation, so I won't participate in the test."
Me too!
Several trainees timidly lowered their arms.
It's true that it's lightweight and soft.
But its power is weak?
You're kidding me!
Even invisible air exceeding the speed of sound can transform into wind blades.
Bai Xiuxiu's expression remained unchanged, her gaze lingering on Ning Chuan for a moment before she said, "There's something I forgot to mention. The first place winner in the external martial arts test will receive a portion of Sea Dragon Blood as a reward!"
Before he could finish speaking...
The crowd erupted in cheers, their shouts rising and falling as if trying to lift the roof off.
"Even if I get beaten to death today, I will still get first place!"
"Save your breath, this test assesses physical strength, not how hard you are to withstand pain!"
"I'm so angry! I really regret not practicing my external martial arts techniques more diligently before!"
Ning Chuan blinked, somewhat surprised.
He had heard Song Shiyu introduce the Sea Dragon Blood, a tonic extracted from the bones of dragons using gene technology by the Federation Academy of Science and Technology, which was said to be very beneficial for practicing martial arts.
But is it really necessary to go this far?
Ning Chuan looked at Song Shiyu and asked, "Besides being beneficial to external martial arts, does the Sea Dragon Blood have any other effects?"
"Just hearing what you said, I know your external martial arts skills aren't very good!"
Song Shiyu laughed and joked, "However, this also puts my mind at ease."
Your movement and swordsmanship are already at the Perfect Realm. If you were to further refine your external martial arts, you'd leave no room for anyone else to survive!
After laughing for a while, Song Shiyu straightened his expression and said, "Practicing martial arts with a strong body improves one's raw strength, which can accompany one throughout one's life!"
It's not that having the Force makes you useless.
However, external martial arts are too difficult to master and require a huge investment of energy, making them not worthwhile, which is why not many people practice them.
Ning Chuan seemed lost in thought.
"And Sea Dragon Blood has two major uses!"
Song Shiyu held up two fingers and said, "First, it can significantly improve the level of external martial arts training."
Secondly, it can slightly improve a person's physical condition, making it easier to practice external martial arts.
Don't underestimate this!
Often, just this one extra detail can help you break through to a higher level.
"Understood."
Ning Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
He was deep in thought about a question.
If his physical condition improves, will the speed of his Vajra Body cultivation increase?
"Regardless of whether I can do it or not, I must obtain the Sea Dragon Blood because of its significant effect on improving my external martial arts level!"
Ning Chuan firmly thought to himself.
Ning Chuan wasn't sure if he could rank first among the 30 students in the fifth level of Vajra Body.
However, the Vajra Body has a unique characteristic that other martial arts external training methods do not possess.
Golden Body Transformation.
To make a certain area of the body as hard as iron in a short period of time.
Ning Chuan was confident that no student's defensive capabilities could match those of the Golden Body Transformation.
" Instructor Bai, I'm the first one!"
A student stepped forward.
"Can."
Bai Xiuxiu nodded casually, raised her right hand, and lashed out with a whip.
boom!
The air exploded, and white mist rose.
The end of the whip struck the student with a loud bang, tearing his shirt to shreds and leaving a bloody mess on his chest.
"Zero Whip Power, go to the infirmary after class to treat your injury."
Bai Xiuxiu remained calm, as if she had long been accustomed to bloodshed, and did not even ask the student to receive immediate treatment.
"Next."
"I'll go, Jiang Ren, to train in the Vibranium Battle Body!"
Another student came up.
He fared slightly better, managing to withstand the first lash, but the second lash immediately broke him.
Bai Xiuxiu's whip lashed harder with each strike.
"Continue!"
Other trainees stepped forward to take the test.
Ning Chuan did not act rashly.
His eyes were fixed on Bai Xiuxiu's whip-wielding movements.
The whip tip was moving faster than the speed of sound, so he couldn't see it.
The fifth level of Vajra Body cannot achieve full-body Golden Body Transformation.
To use the Golden Body Transformation to defend, one must know where the whip tip will strike.
Fortunately, the whip is a single unit, and by analyzing Bai Xiuxiu's movements, the approximate landing point can be predicted.
One by one, the trainees completed the test.
Ning Chuan is also gradually gaining experience in making predictions.
Most trainees only received the evaluation of "one whip's strength".
The one who performed best withstood five lashes.
Bai Xiuxiu awarded him 20 points, the same number of points Xia Xi earned in the weapons class yesterday.
This shows that it is a very good result.
"Your turn!"
Bai Xiuxiu pointed to Ning Chuan.
