In a Martial World High, There’s a Mystical Great World – Chapter 43

Chapter 43: The Most Outstanding Display of Talent

With the medical technology of the Human Federation, even if an arm is broken into several pieces, as long as it can be retrieved, it can be easily reattached. It’s not considered a serious injury. But if the severed arm is completely destroyed or cannot be found, it’s a different story.

Although it’s possible to stimulate cell regeneration, it will cause considerable damage to the human body, seriously affecting cultivation. Moreover, the newly grown limb will require a lot of time to recover to its original level through nurturing and training.

This is probably why the other party retired from the battlefield and became a teacher.

It’s just unclear why he would come to teach a group of Muscle Tempering.

Even Bone Tempering, or even Marrow Tempering, he would be qualified.

“It seems that we have a few new classmates this week. My surname is Lin, as in ‘two wood’ Lin. You can call me Teacher Lin.” Teacher Lin glanced at Shen Xing and the new classmates and said indifferently, “The rules of the Muscle Tempering class are simple. Strength reigns supreme. When I say strength, I don’t mean Qi and Blood or Fist Strength, but the outcome of a battle. True martial arts experts are only born on the battlefield!”

Perhaps it was Shen Xing’s imagination, but he felt that Teacher Lin’s attitude was somewhat different from the previous teachers.

More indifferent.

In those eyes filled with innate dignity, there seemed to be an indelible aura of death.

“Let’s begin. Each of you choose an opponent to challenge.”

After a brief introduction, Teacher Lin directly announced the start. Behind him, a projection appeared out of thin air, displaying the current ranking of all the students in the class.

There were thirty-two people in total.

Shen Xing noticed that he was ranked twenty-first.

It seemed that twelve people should have entered the class last week, and this ranking should be based on the order of entry.

“Is that it?” He looked at An Yiyi beside him.

“If you perform exceptionally well, the teacher will still offer guidance.” An Yiyi knew what Shen Xing was asking.

“Alright, it’s rare to meet an Innate.” Shen Xing was a little disappointed.

But he was used to it. The style of the Martial Path Academy was like this, basically laissez-faire.

In fact, apart from the demonstration of Martial Path Intents, there was indeed nothing that needed to be taught comprehensively.

Relevant knowledge could be looked up by oneself, or even memorized instantly with the learning device. As for moves and power generation, the basic training routine was already all-encompassing. As for combat skills and instincts, no amount of explanation could compare to personal experience.

He followed An Yiyi to collect the combat suits.

This was a type of protective suit used in the Muscle Tempering stage. It mainly protected the joints, internal organs, neck, and head. Just looking at the five nano medical pods placed on either side, one could imagine that the battles here were no child’s play.

Injuries were normal.

And Shen Xing also found out what the equipment for the Muscle Tempering class was.

It was the Martial Path Intent Training Device, five of them!

“Top five, huh?” He looked at the ranking.

The third place was An Yiyi.

“The top twenty receive double the resources, the top ten receive triple, and the top five quadruple.” An Yiyi noticed Shen Xing’s gaze and explained, “As for the first place, in addition to five times the resources, they can also choose a First Realm High-Grade Martial Path Intent. Accumulating four weeks of first place allows them to exchange it for a First Realm Top-Grade.”

“So, your goal is to be in first place?” Shen Xing was also amazed at the richness of the rewards.

The first place’s Martial Path Intent, plus five times the Yuan Qi Pills, was already worth nearly twenty million.

And this was a weekly reward.

Indeed, this was the true level of genius. The support from the school was unimaginable for ordinary students.

◈◈◈

“This week, there’s no hope.” An Yiyi shook her head. She looked at a boy standing alone at the edge, a trace of fighting spirit flashing in her eyes. “He was already at the Late-Muscle Tempering Stage last week, and with a Martial Path Intent close to Major Completion, I’m not his match yet.”

“Late-Muscle Tempering Stage?” Shen Xing followed her gaze.

The ranking already displayed this person’s name, Bai Shayan.

To reach the Late-Muscle Tempering Stage after only a month and a half of martial arts training, and even master a Martial Path Intent close to Major Completion, this level of strength and performance was indeed powerful.

Even Shen Xing himself was not as good.

However, it didn’t put too much pressure on him.

Late stage, he could reach it in four or five days at most. As for Martial Path Intent, his “Space” was progressing rapidly and had already reached Minor Completion. With the quality of “Space,” even now, he had a chance of winning.

It’s just that he didn’t want to expose the existence of “Space” on the Human Federation’s side.

“Then is he the strongest among the freshmen in our school district?” Shen Xing sized up the boy and found that his aura was somewhat gloomy. Standing there, he gave off the feeling that someone owed him a large sum of money.

“No, he’s not.” An Yiyi shook her head again, her expression becoming a little more serious. “The first place is called Bai Shahai. He’s already in the Bone Tempering Stage.”

“Bone Tempering Stage?” Shen Xing took a slight breath. This time, he really felt the pressure.

Bone Tempering Stage, even at his fastest, it would take him about ten days to have a chance to reach it.

And who knew how far the other party had progressed.

Also, this name.

“He’s Bai Shayan’s twin brother.” An Yiyi seemed to be able to guess what Shen Xing was thinking and confirmed his guess.

“No wonder.” Shen Xing looked at Bai Shayan again and could understand why he had such an expression.

Twin brothers, meaning they had the same family and similar talents, but there was such a gap in strength. It was easy to be looked down upon, to be considered lacking in effort and willpower.

Having an overly outstanding sibling would naturally bring a lot of pressure.

However, he wasn’t planning to challenge Bai Shayan now, so he didn’t look any further.

He looked directly at the fifth place.

“Tell me about the fifth place’s strength,” he asked softly.

An Yiyi quickly turned her head. Her already large eyes widened even further.

Shen Xing’s ability to go from Mid-Skin Tempering Stage to Muscle Tempering Realm in just one week had already surprised her. But the fifth place, he was already at Mid-Muscle Tempering Stage last week.

“My current Qi and Blood is 24.8,” Shen Xing didn’t hide it. “Even if my Qi and Blood is a little lower, it shouldn’t be by much. My Leg Axe is also close to Minor Completion. I should at least have a chance to try.”

“24.8.” An Yiyi’s mouth was slightly open.

This wasn’t just a newly broken through Mid-Stage!

How could it be so fast!

She even felt a clear sense of urgency.

In terms of the speed of realm advancement alone, Shen Xing’s performance had already surpassed hers by a lot.

Originally, her impression of Shen Xing was just a classmate with good potential and a good personality who might become a friend. But now she suddenly realized that this wasn’t just good potential, it was the most outstanding display of talent!

“If you hadn’t wasted some time in the Skin Tempering Stage, you might even be able to compete with Bai Shahai,” An Yiyi couldn’t help but say. She did feel a little regretful.
