High Martial Arts: Become a God by Spending Money, Start by Spending All Your Compensation Funds

Du Fei glared fiercely at Lin Yun, uttering a harsh threat: "Don't be so smug, I won't let this go so easily!"

Lin Yun looked at him, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"What's the rush? I'll give you a chance." He paused, then slowly began, "I challenge you to a duel in three days at the Imperial Martial Arts Arena!"

Du Fei was taken aback, then looked at me as if he'd heard a joke: "You want to challenge me to a duel on the martial arts stage? You think you can really beat me after taking three of my moves?"

The martial arts arena challenge at Diwu is a formal competition specifically designed to resolve conflicts between students. It has a dedicated instructor as a referee, and the outcome can be guaranteed.

However, injuries are inevitable in martial arts competitions, so only students with deep-seated grudges will step onto the stage, and there might not even be one competition a month.

With his peak Martial Master level 1 cultivation, he couldn't defeat Lin Yun in three moves. How could he not win in ten or a hundred moves?

Lin Yun is humiliating himself!

"Beating you is not difficult." Lin Yun's tone was calm, yet full of confidence. "You'll know in three days."

Du Fei was thoroughly enraged by his attitude and gritted his teeth, saying, "Fine! I accept the challenge! If you lose, you'll have to kneel down and kowtow to me in front of everyone on the martial arts stage, calling me 'Grandpa' a hundred times!"

Lin Yun's gaze swept over the inner armor under his clothes. The edges gleamed with a faint metallic luster, and the intricate patterns indicated that it was of a high grade.

"If I win, this inner armor you're wearing is mine."

Du Fei instinctively pressed down on the inner armor.

This is a high-level Tier 2 battle armor, which cost him over two million. It has extremely strong defense and is his prized possession.

"You're asking for way too much!"

"What, you think you'll lose?" Lin Yun raised an eyebrow. "Then you might as well not accept the challenge at all, so you don't embarrass yourself later."

"Who says I'll lose!" Du Fei, provoked, instantly agreed. "Alright! It's settled then! See you at the martial arts arena in three days. I want to see what you're really made of!"

After saying that, he grabbed Ning Yin, who was still in a daze, pushed through the crowd, and left quickly, his back view showing a bit of a mess.

Su Nianhe watched them walk away before turning to look at Lin Yun, her eyes filled with worry.

"Are you really going to have a martial arts match with Du Fei? After all, he's a martial arts master, and he's about to break through to the second level."

"Don't worry." Lin Yun took the knife she handed him back, his tone confident. "I will break through to the Martial Master realm within three days."

Hearing this, Su Nianhe's eyes lit up with joy: "Really? That's wonderful!"

She knew that Lin Yun was aiming for the ultimate Foundation Establishment stage, and once he reached the Martial Master realm, Du Fei would be no match for him!

He even has a chance to get into Class S in this monthly exam!

"Let's go get the knife repaired first." She smiled and headed towards the Black Star specialty store first. "I'll treat you to dinner later, consider it an early celebration for you."

"Okay! I'm tired of eating compressed biscuits these past few days." Lin Yun readily agreed.

……

When Lin Yun returned to the Imperial Capital Martial Academy, it was already evening.

There were many students walking along the school path, chatting in twos and threes about their courses and monthly exams.

As soon as Lin Yun appeared, the surrounding discussions paused noticeably, then lowered, and various gazes swept over him subtly.

"Is he the one who wants to challenge Senior Du Fei?"

"Du Fei is from Class A1, one of the Thirty-Two Outstanding Scholars of Kyushu, and a peak Martial Master at the first level. Although Lin Yun defeated Long Ye in the last monthly exam and advanced to Class A4, he still couldn't possibly be Du Fei's match, right?"

"Who knows? I heard that Du Fei had a conflict with him off-campus yesterday. I guess he acted on impulse."

"Senior Du Fei declared that he'll beat this kid to a pulp on the martial arts stage in three days!"

The whispers drifted into his ears intermittently, but Lin Yun remained unfazed and continued walking.

Du Fei deliberately spread the news so quickly, simply because he was afraid that the man would change his mind, and he wanted to put him in a difficult position by using public opinion.

Unfortunately, he never intended to go back on his word.

Back in the dorm, I opened the door and saw Gu Xiaoman hunched over her phone. Hearing the noise, she looked up and stared wide-eyed at Lin Yun.

"Brother Yun! You're finally back!"

Gu Xiaoman rushed to his side, her face filled with excitement and a hint of worry.

"It's all over the place, people are saying you're going to challenge Du Fei from Class A1 on the training ground in three days, is that true?"

"Really." Lin Yun put his backpack on the chair and nodded in response.

Gu Xiaoman immediately gave a thumbs up, her face full of admiration: "Amazing! You're so daring! That's one of the Thirty-Two Heroes of the Nine Provinces!"

He paused, then leaned closer and lowered his voice.

"By the way, did you know that Sheng Feng from Class S found out about this? He opened an outside betting platform, and a lot of people have placed bets."

Lin Yun raised an eyebrow, showing interest: "Offshore betting? What are the odds?"

"Du Fei's odds are 1.5 to 1, while yours are 4 to 1."

Gu Xiaoman scratched her head.

"Most people bet on Du Fei to win, but I pooled together 10,000 yuan and bet it all on you to win, just to support you, Brother Yun."

"You can place more bets." Lin Yun smiled, his tone confident. "Since someone's opening a betting pool, we might as well take advantage of it and make a profit."

Gu Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, looking at Lin Yun's calm expression, and muttered to herself.

Brother Yun is way too confident, isn't he?

That's the Martial Master realm...

Could it be that Brother Yun is about to break through to the Martial Master level?

He was too embarrassed to ask any more questions, but he kept those words in mind and thought about adding more money later.

Lin Yun didn't say anything more, picked up his phone to check the time, and got up to leave.

"I'm going to the teaching building. You go ahead and do your work."

"Okay!"

The homeroom teacher's office for Class A4 is located on the third floor of the teaching building.

When Lin Yun knocked and entered, the middle-aged male tutor looked up, saw him, put down his pen, and smiled.

"Lin Yun, is your holiday over? You've been promoted to Class A4, and you haven't even attended a single regular class yet."

The tutor joked for a moment, then said seriously, "Now that you're back, you can focus on teaching, right?"

Lin Yun shook his head: "Teacher, I would like to ask for a few more days off. I need to go into seclusion to break through to the Martial Master realm."

The instructor's smile faded, and his brow furrowed slightly. "Breaking through to the Martial Master realm? Lin Yun, I know you have good talent, but cultivation can't be rushed. You've already taken a week off, and now you want to take another. If you don't break through this time, you'll lose a lot of credits for the missed classes, and your grade next month could very well drop to B class. Have you thought this through?"

In Imperial Martial Arts, class rankings are not only based on combat strength, but also on academic credits.

Deducting credits for unexcused absences is a rule that has been in place for a long time.

"I've thought it through." Lin Yun's tone was calm, yet full of confidence. "Teacher, I'm sure."

The mentor gave him a deep look and saw that his eyes were firm, not like a momentary impulse.

After a few seconds of silence, he finally nodded.

"Okay, I'll approve the leave for you. Remember, stability is key. Don't panic if you can't break through; your health is the most important thing."

"Thank you, teacher."

After receiving the leave slip, Lin Yun went straight to the training area.

The training chambers at Diwu are built underground, soundproof and safe, and are specifically for students to use for closed-door cultivation and breakthroughs.

I swiped my card to enter, and the heavy alloy door slowly closed, instantly silencing the room.

Lin Yun walked to the central futon and sat down. He took a deep breath and took out the spiritual plants that he had prepared in advance from the system space.

The six spiritual plants—Earth Element Flower, Fire Heart Lotus, Green Water Vine, Silver Beard Ginseng, Wind Spirit Fruit, and Lightning Strike Wood—were neatly arranged in front of him, each with a different color and exuding spiritual energy.

Including the Golden Glow Grass, there are a total of seven spiritual plants.

These seven spiritual plants contain the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, plus the two energies of wind and thunder, which correspond exactly to the seven elements in the "Seven Elements Foundation Building Method".

The power of this Heavenly Rank basic cultivation method goes far beyond simply dispersing one's cultivation and rebuilding one's Qi and blood.

The true core is the Seven Elements Foundation Building.

Once the foundation of the Seven Elements is established, the blood and qi in the body will contain the essence of the seven attributes. When breaking through to the Grandmaster realm in the future, one can cultivate any of the five elements of wind and thunder attributes of the Qi Transformation Technique without any bottlenecks. One can even cultivate several techniques at the same time, and one's foundation is far deeper than that of ordinary martial artists.

Today, we have spent tens of millions of resources to build a foundation, all for the sake of a smooth path in martial arts in the future.

Lin Yun did not rush to swallow it, but first took out a small medicine grinder and medicine furnace from the side.

The seven medicinal herbs have conflicting properties. Swallowing them directly would not only be wasteful but could also damage the meridians. They must be refined into pills to maximize their medicinal effects.

If he were to ask a tutor from the academy's alchemy department to refine it, firstly, he would have to pay a high fee, and secondly, the spiritual plants were too precious for him to entrust to others.

Fortunately, I had studied the basics of medicine making in high school and college. The steps were nothing more than grinding, decocting, concentrating, and making pills.

He cleaned each of the spiritual plants, sorted them according to their properties, and first ground the mildest silver ginseng into powder. Then he put the earth flower and fire heart lotus into the stove and simmered them over a low flame.

A rich medicinal fragrance gradually filled the room.

Lin Yun stood guard by the stove, his mind highly focused, precisely controlling the heat.

It took a full three hours for the medicinal liquid in the cauldron to completely concentrate into a ball, eventually condensing into a black pill the size of a longan.

Lin Yun picked up the pill; though it looked unremarkable, he could feel the surging medicinal power inside.

"The Seven Elements Foundation Establishment Pill... It absolutely must be successful on the first try, otherwise the eight million and all this time will have been wasted."

He sat cross-legged, calmed his mind, and adjusted his internal energy and blood to the most stable state.

After confirming that his meridians were unobstructed, he opened his mouth and swallowed the Seven Yuan Foundation Establishment Pill in one gulp.

The pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth, transforming into a warm torrent that slid down the throat and exploded in the abdomen.

The seven different medicinal properties spread out, gentle yet with extremely strong penetrating power, flowing along the meridians and brushing through the limbs and bones.

Lin Yun dared not delay and immediately activated the foundation-building incantation of the "Seven Elements Foundation Building Method" to guide the scattered medicinal power to slowly gather in his lower abdomen.

The ultimate foundation building process has officially begun!
