High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 61 Madman's Stick

The special canteen window for Class 3, Grade 11, still offers a plentiful and nutritious meal under the C-level contract.

The steaming hot pork chops, exuding a rich aroma, are paired with brightly colored and nutritionally balanced vegetables, and a blue beverage radiating a subtle energy.

Qin Feng, Shi Potian, and Qian Duoduo occupied a table in the corner of the cafeteria and ate their meal in silence.

The atmosphere today is somewhat different from usual.

Qian Duoduo wolfed down her food, as always.

But Shi Potian seemed somewhat absent-minded. He just used his fork to unconsciously pok at the food on his plate, and only took a bite after a long time.

“I said, Old Shi.”

Qian Duoduo swallowed a big mouthful of meat and mumbled, "What's wrong with you? You've had a long face ever since you came out of the martial arts room. Did that axe blow from Ke Luo stun you?"

Shi Potian ignored his teasing.

He put down his cutlery, looked up, and gazed past Qian Duoduo onto Qin Feng across from him.

"Qin Feng, what are you thinking?"

His voice was somewhat low.

Qin Feng paused slightly as he was cutting the pork chop.

He raised his head and met Shi Potian's probing gaze.

"What are you thinking about?"

"The matter of Crow."

Shi Potian's words are concise and to the point.

Qin Feng smiled, put a piece of sliced ​​meat into his mouth, chewed it carefully, and swallowed it.

"At the time, I was definitely a bit intoxicated."

He frankly admitted, "Especially when I saw those dilapidated imperial statues by the mine, and then heard about Kro's experiences... I felt angry, disappointed, and very upset."

"what about now?"

Shi Potian pressed for an answer.

"Now?"

Qin Feng put down his knife and fork, his expression turning serious, and he held up two fingers.

"First, become stronger. The weak don't even have the right to be angry. Only by becoming truly strong can one have the right to realize one's ambitions and the power to change injustice."

"Secondly."

Qin Feng paused for a moment: "We need to figure out who our friends are and who our enemies are. Then, we should unite with our friends to strike at our enemies."

His words were not impassioned or passionate, but rather imbued with a rationality beyond his years.

This may be the result of a slight increase in mental strength due to practicing meditation.

Shi Potian fell silent.

He lowered his head, seemingly pondering Qin Feng's words repeatedly.

"Only the strong have the right to..."

"Friends and enemies..."

After a long while, he raised his head. The confusion in his eyes had largely dissipated, replaced by a renewed determination.

He nodded heavily towards Qin Feng.

"I understand."

Qian Duoduo, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but roll her eyes as she listened to their conversation.

"Hey you two, can you stop acting like old men and discussing the rise and fall of empires?"

He stuffed the last piece of steak into his mouth, picked up the conversation, and said casually:

"Why think so much? Just focus on your cultivation and practice diligently, that's all! Go search the 'Cosmic Forum' and see if the martial arts schools in those star regions, or those star regions in the midst of war, have the martial artists there to think about these things? No! All they think about every day is how to get the next batch of cultivation resources and how to survive the next battle!"

To put it bluntly,

Qian Duoduo slammed her hand on the table and delivered her concluding remarks, "You guys are just too full! You haven't even figured out who gave you this meal."

His words were a bit rough.

But these words were like a hammer, instantly shattering the heavy atmosphere.

"Hahaha--"

Qin Feng and Shi Potian exchanged a glance and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"You guy..."

Shi Potian pointed at Qian Duoduo and laughed, "You're full of twisted logic." "How is this twisted logic?"

Qian Duoduo stiffened her neck and said, "This is the truth of the world! Alright, alright, stop thinking about those useless things and tell me your plans for the future."

The heavy atmosphere was swept away by the laughter of the three.

"My vitality index has reached 8.0."

Qian Duoduo spoke first, a hint of pride on her face, "I got 70 GPA points from this mission, which, combined with the previous ones, should be enough. I plan to upgrade my contract to C-level first, and then sign up for the Rising Star Inter-School League! I'll try to advance to the second year of high school before the league starts!"

"My plan is the same."

Shi Potian interjected, "First upgrade to a C-level contract, then advance to the second year of high school."

Both of their gazes turned to Qin Feng.

"Sign up for the league and advance to the second year of high school."

Qin Feng succinctly stated, "Then, it's about diligent practice until the league begins."

The three of them shared the same goal.

"it is good!"

The three men extended their fists and gently tapped them together in the center of the table.

After lunch, the three of them did not return to their dormitory, but went directly to their respective training rooms.

Qin Feng resumed his monotonous, day-to-day physical training.

He was practicing the "Primary Imperial Body Tempering Method," trying to squeeze out the last bit of potential from his body.

However, an hour later, I still didn't feel very tired.

"Perhaps the vitality index is too high?"

After his vitality index broke through 10.0, the "Elementary Imperial Body Tempering Method" that had accompanied him for several months could no longer make him feel that kind of near-limit, muscle-tearing pain.

No matter how much he increased the load or how long he practiced, he could no longer effectively stimulate his body's growth as before.

That's too easy!
"That's really true..."

Qin Feng suddenly realized.

He finally understood why Shi Potian was able to keep his vitality index "stuck" at the bottleneck of 10.0 for so long.

It wasn't that he didn't want to break through, but at this stage, the basic body-tempering method could no longer provide him with enough "experience points".

To continue improving, you must learn the more advanced "Intermediate Imperial Body Forging Method".

"It seems we'll have to put it on hold for now."

Qin Feng made a decision.

Before advancing to the second year of high school and learning the intermediate body-strengthening method, engaging in this inefficient body-strengthening practice is no longer of much use.

He got up, washed himself, changed into dry clothes, and returned to his dormitory.

The room was empty.

Qin Feng sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at the "Subspace Network Pass" that had transformed into a wrist-mounted terminal.

The familiar panel projection appeared.

He closed his eyes and immersed himself in the moment.

The next second, his consciousness was drawn by an invisible force, passing through countless bizarre tunnels composed of data streams.

When he "opened" his eyes again, he was already on that familiar starry sky martial arts arena. In the distance, nebulae undulated, and gas clouds like pillars of creation and nascent stars slowly rotated and floated.

Imperial Arena.

His Thousand Army Spear technique has reached "mastery," and he has even mastered the two deadly moves "Thousand Army Repelling" and "Flowing Light Chasing Shadow."

It's time to go for another score push.

Moreover, engaging in high-intensity real combat in the arena and then reviewing the results is currently the fastest way for him to improve his marksmanship.

Without the slightest hesitation, he clicked the ranked matchmaking button.

[Matching you with an opponent...]

【Successful match! 】

[Opponent information loading...]

Qin Feng's gaze fell on his opponent's ID, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

It's true, enemies meet on a narrow road.

[ID]: Madman Stick
