High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 47 A Huge Breakthrough
The news of Qin Feng's successful promotion to C-level contract did not cause much of a stir in the vast waters of Qiming First Martial Arts High School.

Apart from Qian Duoduo and Shi Potian from dormitory 402, and a few teachers, almost no one knew about it.

For tens of thousands of students at Wugao High School, their attention remains focused on the traditional geniuses who rank at the top of the overall score list.

A name ranked outside the top 900, even if it achieves an amazing perfect score in a simulation, will soon be overwhelmed by a massive amount of new information.

This was exactly what Qin Feng wanted to do.

What he needs is not empty fame, but a low-key and efficient improvement in his abilities.

……

The next morning, at five o'clock sharp.

The sky remained a deep, inky blue, while in the distance, the core area of ​​Qiming was outlined with a golden silhouette in the faint light of dawn.

Qin Feng's biological clock woke him from his slumber with perfect precision.

Unlike before, today he did not go directly to the public martial arts room. Instead, after washing up, he walked alone toward the school's administration building.

He was going to collect the resources belonging to his first C-level contract.

Administration Building, Academic Affairs Office Resource Distribution Center.

When Qin Feng arrived, the place was deserted.

Inside the duty room, an elderly man with white hair and beard, dressed in loose-fitting exercise clothes, was sitting there leisurely sipping a cup of hot tea.

It was Professor Gu Yue.

Upon seeing Qin Feng enter, Professor Gu Yue put down his teacup, a hint of undisguised appreciation appearing in his usually squinted eyes.

"coming."

Good morning, Professor Gu.

Qin Feng bowed respectfully.

"Ah."

Professor Gu Yue nodded. He took a silver briefcase with Qin Feng's name and student number printed on it from a temperature-controlled metal cabinet next to him and placed it on the counter.

"Here are your resources for this month, take them."

As he spoke, he opened his suitcase, revealing the neatly arranged items inside.

Two light gold-colored glass tubes filled with a viscous liquid—intermediate psionic potions.

Two packets of dark brown, biscuit-like lumps – intermediate-grade physical repair bath solution packets.

And a slender syringe filled with a clear blue liquid—a lower-level mental power enhancement potion.

"The medicated bath packets need to be dissolved in plenty of water. It's best to use a bathtub with enough water to cover your entire body, including your head, so that every hidden injury in your body can be repaired in a comprehensive way."

"The psionic potion can be taken orally directly. Although the medicinal properties are mild, the energy is enormous. After taking it, you must engage in high-intensity body tempering to fully absorb the medicinal power. Otherwise, the energy will accumulate and damage your meridians."

Professor Gu Yue gave detailed instructions.

"As for this mental energy recovery potion, it can be used for restoration. You can use it after intense battles in the Imperial Arena..."

He paused, looking at Qin Feng, "However, remember, you must not buy other mental energy potions on your own. You can only use the 'safe' potions recommended by the school. External things are ultimately external things. The cultivation of mental energy relies more on one's own will and understanding, and one should not depend on them excessively."

“Students understand.”

Qin Feng carefully memorized every word.

Professor Gu Yue nodded in satisfaction, pondered for a moment, and then decided to offer one more point.

"Qin Feng, do you know what the resources of this C-level contract mean to a level one martial artist with a vitality index of only 3.0?"

"Does it mean...waste?"

Qin Feng pondered for a moment and then gave an answer.

"Half right."

Professor Gu Yue smiled and said, "It's not waste, it's 'excess.' It's like making a child eat the amount of food a strong adult would eat. If you force him to eat it, he won't grow; instead, he'll just choke to death."

"These resources are prepared for level two martial artists. Their bodies have already undergone a round of tempering and are capable of withstanding such a massive energy impact. But you are not yet ready."

"Therefore, if you want to maximize the effectiveness of these resources instead of being 'overwhelmed' by them, there is only one way."

Professor Gu Yue held up one finger, his tone becoming serious.

"That is, in the time to come, push your physical body to the limit again and again, without stopping! Only when the body is extremely depleted, like a dried-up sponge, will it frantically absorb this external energy to repair and grow."

"So my advice to you is that you can put your killing style aside for now. You only need to maintain about ten Imperial Arena ranking matches a day to keep your skills and combat awareness up."

"You must devote ninety percent of your energy to cultivating the Imperial Body Forging Method! Practice without regard to cost, without questioning the reasons, and without holding back! Practice until you can no longer stand up, then use a medicinal bath to repair yourself and use medicine to replenish your strength. The next day, continue!"

“Yes, the students have learned.”

Qin Feng bowed deeply once again.

Professor Gu Yue's words were like the sun breaking through the clouds, instantly making him realize the most crucial and correct direction for his future cultivation.

After saying goodbye to Professor Gu Yue, Qin Feng carried a silver briefcase full of precious resources back to his dormitory.

On the way, he had already devised a new, almost insane, training plan for himself. From now on, his daily schedule would be:

In the early morning, I engage in uninterrupted training using the Extreme Body Tempering Technique.

In the morning, I continued practicing the body-strengthening method.

In the afternoon, we continued with the body-strengthening practice.

In the evening, ten Imperial Arena ranking matches will be played, followed by a review session, which will take about two and a half hours.

Before going to bed, practice the "Emperor's Meditation Method" for half an hour.

I guarantee eight hours of sleep every day, and dedicate all my remaining waking time to the "Imperial Body Forging Method".

This is a plan that is both extremely tedious and extremely cruel.

But in Qin Feng's eyes, there was only calm and determination.

Back in his dormitory, he carefully sorted and put away the resources in his suitcase.

Looking at the several vials of potion gleaming with an alluring light, he couldn't help but think to himself:

"Right now, these things can only be kept in the dormitory. Once a martial artist reaches level four, their subspace network access pass can be upgraded, opening up a small storage space. At that time, it will be much more convenient to carry resources or store spoils of war."

Banishing all distracting thoughts, he didn't hesitate and immediately unscrewed one of the pale gold intermediate-level psionic potions.

A strange, slightly sweet aroma filled the air.

He tilted his head back and drank the thick, honey-like golden liquid in one gulp.

boom--!
An immense, gentle, and pure energy, like a flood bursting its banks, exploded in his stomach and then transformed into countless warm currents that surged toward his limbs and bones!

Qin Feng could even feel every cell in his body groaning with pleasure under the influence of this energy.

He dared not delay in the slightest and immediately rushed out of the dormitory, heading straight for the public martial arts room.

Arriving at his familiar corner, he took a deep breath and assumed the starting stance for the Imperial Body Forging Technique.

As the cultivation technique was activated, the immense energy surging within his body seemed to find an outlet, and began to be guided, methodically tempering his muscles, fascia, and bones.

Sweat streamed down his forehead like a small stream, instantly soaking his entire training uniform.

His body was groaning in agony, unable to bear the strain.

But at the same time, the continuous flow of energy from the intermediate-level psionic potion transformed into the gentlest nourishment, rapidly repairing the muscle fibers torn by extreme training and replenishing the consumed physical energy.

[The Imperial Body Forging Technique is in operation. The intermediate-level spiritual energy potion is taking effect, greatly increasing blood and qi activity and proficiency by 1.]

Your body is being rapidly repaired and strengthened; proficiency +1.

[Your cultivation is greatly enhanced due to abundant energy; proficiency +1]

【…】

On the panel deep within his consciousness, the numbers representing proficiency were jumping wildly at an unprecedented speed.

limit!

recover!

promote!

The three most basic and core elements of martial arts cultivation are now operating at high speed in Qin Feng's body in a near-perfect cycle.

Especially the recovery and enhancement steps, thanks to the almost inexhaustible energy supply from the intermediate psionic potion, reached an astonishingly fast speed!

His body, like a dried-up sponge thrown into an ocean of energy, greedily and frantically absorbed every bit of energy and transformed it into his most solid foundation.

His vitality index, under this extreme tempering and nourishment, began to soar at a visible speed.

The numbers on the panel, though in units of 0.01, were changing extremely slowly.

However, in Qin Feng's own perception, he could clearly sense that his strength, speed, and endurance were undergoing tremendous changes almost every moment.

This feeling is like rain after a long drought, refreshing and intoxicating.

Time slipped away quietly amidst the tedious yet fulfilling intense training.

Qin Feng completely transformed into a statue of cultivation, forgetting hunger and fatigue, and throwing himself wholeheartedly into this battle against his own limits.

His improvement rate is at least three times faster than before.

If things continue at this terrifying pace, perhaps it really will turn out as Qian Duoduo jokingly said.

A month later, his vitality index is expected to break through the 10.0 mark, officially entering the ranks of second-level martial artists.

Qin Feng silently continued his cultivation.

In just one day, his proficiency in the Imperial Body Tempering Technique increased by 200 points!
Roughly estimating, it's highly likely that the Body Tempering Technique will be perfected within about a month, and the Vitality Index will break through 10.0!

"come on!"

Qin Feng's eyes shone brightly: "By the end of this month, when the vitality index approaches 10.0, it will be perfect for signing up for the Qiming Star Inter-School Martial Arts League. If I can get a first-year high school student status and make it into the top ten, I'll get 500 GPA points!"
