In the game "High Martial Arts," players start with the blessing of the Martial God.

Shirakawa Ichichu

Ji Ming looked at Xu Wei and asked, "You were 26th last time, right? Do you have a chance this time?"

"Hmm... I think it should be okay?" Xu Wei asked uncertainly.

"We're still too poor. We don't have the authority to access some resources; those guys up ahead didn't even bother using spirit-refining potions!"

Ji Ming remained silent upon hearing this. Although Xia Kingdom had tried its best to be fair, social classes existed everywhere. Who could stop the older generation from working hard to give their children better conditions?

He was the same. Compared to families who couldn't even afford spirit-refining potions, wasn't he someone to be envied?

Ji Ming shook his head. Thinking about these things was useless. He was already satisfied with his current conditions, and he should work harder himself.

Xu Wei's family was slightly better off than his, but still couldn't compare to those families with third-tier or even higher-level professionals in charge, so some complaints were inevitable.

"Can you break through to the ninth level of the mortal realm by the end of the month?" Ji Ming asked again. After all, they had been brothers for so many years. Even if he didn't get into the top class this time, he would still have a chance in the future. But Xu Wei was different. He wanted to take the entrance exam for a holy land-level academy. If he missed this opportunity, it would be difficult.

"Hey, don't worry!" Xu Wei suddenly smiled, his eyes narrowing.

Ji Ming was taken aback, but then he understood. It seemed that Uncle Xu had made preparations in advance. This little fat boy's life strength should be 8.8 now. Even if he becomes a skinny boy at the end of the month, the energy he has accumulated in just one week is not enough to break through the 9.0 bottleneck.

The only explanation is that Uncle Xu is going all out!

"Ah Ming, I'll be waiting for you in the honors class!" Xu Wei said earnestly. Although he didn't know why, he always felt that Ah Ming had become mysterious lately, and sometimes he even gave him a sense of danger.

Most importantly, he saw confidence in Amin's eyes!

"Good!" Ji Mingchao smiled and gave a fist bump.

……

Ji Ming asked Luo Zhao for leave and devoted all his time to the virtual martial arts world, causing his proficiency with the Flowing Moon Blade to skyrocket.

【Crescent Moon Blade: lv.7 (63/100)】

【Crescent Moon Blade: lv.7 (73/100)】

With the blessing of the God of War, every swing of his sword increases his proficiency. Compared to the pain of cultivating the Star King Body, this place is paradise!

……

Two days later

February 27th, early morning

As dawn broke, Ji Ming sat wearily on the ground, an alloy knife beside him.

"finally……"

Ignoring the sweat soaking his body, he breathed a sigh of relief.

【Crescent Moon Blade: lv.10 (35/100)】

【God of War's Blessing (Enlightenment): 100/100】

The difficulty of cultivating the Flowing Moon Blade has indeed increased significantly after its continuous upgrades. However, the end-of-month exam is tomorrow, and breaking through to the second tier shouldn't be a problem if there are no bottlenecks.

Most importantly, just now, the Martial God's enlightenment progress has finally reached perfection!

[Qian Tian Yi Qi Gong: lv.4 (70/100)]

Because he focused all his energy on the Flowing Moon Blade, his proficiency in the Qian Tian Yi Qi Gong remained unchanged for two days. This technique required too much comprehension, an attribute that his natal card did not even cover.

As far as he knew, the vast majority of students at No. 1 Middle School were at level 4 in the Qian Tian Yi Qi Gong skill, and those who could surpass that level were extremely rare. This proved that his comprehension was not bad, perhaps even above average, since he was comparing himself to the students of Shirakawa No. 1 Middle School.

"Whether we can take the plunge or not depends on this one tremor!"

Ji Ming's gaze was firm. Since the announcement, the entire No. 1 High School had been in an uproar. It was foreseeable that the level of each vocational class would be raised a little, and the original data might no longer be applicable.

"bring it on!"

He closed his eyes and gently focused his mind...

"boom!"

Immediately, like a planet colliding, a buzzing sound rang in his heart, and Ji Ming's mind was magnified and expanded infinitely until he saw a figure!

A figure resembling a war god stood with his back to the world, holding a blood-red longsword in one hand. Points of light swirled around the tip of the sword, as if blood was about to gather and drip. A golden halo surrounded his head. His appearance was unclear, and it was impossible to tell whether he was male or female, but his aura that surpassed heaven and earth was quite terrifying!

"This...is this the God of War?"

Ji Ming murmured, his voice echoing in the chaotic space.

Suddenly, the figure seemed to hear Ji Ming's voice and slowly turned around!

Ji Ming tried hard to see clearly, but there seemed to be something between the two, and all he could see was endless crimson light.

The figure moved, and stretched out a hand, stroking Ji Ming's head in his horrified gaze!

……

rooftop

Ji Ming suddenly opened his eyes, his back drenched in cold sweat. Without thinking, he realized that he now seemed to have become a god, able to understand any problem as soon as he thought about it. Nothing in the world had any secrets in front of him!

He vaguely understood that this state could be used to comprehend all knowledge, but it would soon disappear.

"By the way, the Qian Tian Yi Qi Gong!"

There was no time to lose. Ji Ming hurriedly sat down and began to practice the "quiet exercise" in the cultivation method. Infinite inspiration was bursting in his mind, and he quickly grasped the various mysteries of the Qian Tian Yi Qi Gong!

……

Soon, Ji Ming's body relaxed, and the state of oneness with heaven and earth instantly dissipated. He glanced at the bracelet.

"Ten seconds?"

The enlightenment bestowed by the God of War only lasts for ten seconds, but the gains...

Ji Ming focused his mind.

[Qian Tian Yi Qi Gong: lv.7 (8/100)]

Ji Ming gasped when he saw the information. Level 7 Qian Tian Yi Qi Gong was a level that he might not be able to reach even in a year or two. There probably wasn't a single martial arts student in the entire Baichuan City who could break through to this level!

Although he had expected that enlightenment was the core ability of this talent, the actual effect still surprised him greatly. In just ten seconds, he crossed three levels. No matter what kind of rare and precious material it was, it could not have such a heaven-defying effect.

Although Qian Tian Yi Qi Gong is a basic skill that everyone can practice, it is easy to learn but difficult to master. A large number of people remain below level 7 and have to switch to other skills after breaking through to the second level. Without perfect mastery, they cannot experience its true effects.

And Ji Ming already has this possibility!

"It's time to test the effects of the cultivation."

The completion of the Qian Tian Yi Qi Gong is still a long way off. The most important thing now is to find out how much the level 7 technique will increase the cultivation speed.

Without hesitation, Ji Ming took out a vial of "Spirit Tempering Potion" and drank it down.

A warm sensation flowed through his limbs and bones, the Qian Tian Yi Qi Gong circulated spontaneously, and the powerful medicinal energy was absorbed rapidly as if by a water pump, leading to a rapid increase in his life level.

Two hours later, as dawn broke, Ji Ming, who hadn't slept all night, showed no signs of fatigue, his expression filled with joy and excitement.

[Main Character: Martial Artist]

[Life Strength: Level 6.9 (Mortal)]

[Talents: Strong Willpower (Intermediate), God of War's Blessing (Saint-level)]

[Cultivation Method: Qian Tian Yi Qi Gong lv.7]

[Skills: Star King Body Lv.11, Spirit Void Step Lv.6, Flowing Moon Blade Lv.10]

In just two hours, he completely absorbed a bottle of "Spirit Tempering Potion," and his life strength increased by 0.2 levels.

Improving one's life strength is no easy feat. Although breaking through to the Mortal Realm is relatively easy, so far only a handful of the three martial arts classes have reached a life strength of 10.0. Keep in mind that those people drink "Spirit Tempering Potion" like water!

Based on past experience, it would take him about a day to absorb a bottle of Spirit Tempering Potion, and most of the potency would evaporate and be wasted over time, which would be far from enough to increase his life strength by 0.1 levels.

But now it's different. In just two hours, 99% of the medicine's potency has been absorbed by his body, leaving no time to waste!

ten times!

Ji Ming calculated that the lv7 Qian Tian Yi Qi Gong was at least ten times better than the lv4 version in all aspects. Moreover, the higher the level of the technique, the better his control over his power, so there was no risk of his strength suddenly increasing and becoming out of control!

No wonder Teacher Liu Shuo always says that the high-level Qian Tian Yi Qi function can make up for the lack of talent to a certain extent, at least in terms of cultivation speed.
