Chapter 110: The Opportunity to Go to the Moon
For the time being, no conclusions could be drawn. However, with ample resources in hand, what Shen Xing needed next was not to stir up trouble, but rather calm and steady cultivation.
If worst came to worst, he could just go to the Human Federation to cultivate for a while.
Even if the Yuan Qi concentration was low, relying on pill resources and equipment could still make up for this deficiency to a certain extent.
Striving to improve his strength was the focus for the time being.
And so, five days after the auction ended, Shen Xing, in the midst of continuous and stable cultivation, broke through to the mid-Marrow Tempering stage.
And his Qi and Blood strength had reached a terrifying 254.8!
Compared to when he had just entered Marrow Tempering, it had increased by a full 2.7 times!
“If I didn’t have a cultivation technique and body-type martial path intents, this Qi and Blood strength would be comparable to the Organ Tempering stage.” Shen Xing was also a little emotional, “And I’m still only at the mid-Marrow Tempering stage.”
This was one of the most basic manifestations of enhanced foundation.
Although his realm had not improved much, Shen Xing felt that in terms of basic physical parameters, he could already easily surpass some ordinary Organ Tempering stage martial artists in the Human Federation.
Truly worthy of the name of a prodigy.
However, just as he thought that this period of peaceful cultivation would continue for a while longer, one day when he returned to the Human Federation, he suddenly saw a message from Lu Lan.
“Student Shen Xing, do you want to meet the top talents from other schools and test your skills?”
This message was already more than ten hours old.
For a martial artist like him, checking messages once a day was actually quite normal. Most martial artists would take off their personal terminals during cultivation to avoid being disturbed by messages.
Shen Xing thought for a moment and directly initiated a voice call.
The call connected instantly.
“Student Shen, have you finished cultivating?” Lu Lan’s gentle voice came through, “Don’t push yourself too hard. A certain amount of rest and relaxation can lead to greater efficiency.”
Ever since he learned the Ten Thousand Dragons Technique, Lu Lan had been paying special attention to him.
She would occasionally send messages to inquire about his cultivation progress.
Of course, Shen Xing did not reveal everything, only sharing the progress of his Qi and Blood strength. Even so, it still amazed Lu Lan.
Clearly, she also knew the concept of having a Qi and Blood strength of two hundred while still being in the early Marrow Tempering stage!
“Yes, I’ve reached the mid-Marrow Tempering stage, with a Qi and Blood strength of 254,” Shen Xing said, not wasting any time and getting straight to the point, “Is the ‘meeting’ you mentioned a sparring match with the prodigies from other schools?”
To be honest, Shen Xing wasn’t very interested in this kind of thing right now.
The reason was simple: his strength was still in a period of rapid growth, even an explosive period.
His Dragon Elephant Body was even about to reach completion.
His other two main martial path intents were also close.
Once they reached completion and he learned the second realm, his strength would undoubtedly experience a major surge. He believed that other prodigies were also in a similar situation, everyone was in a period of explosive growth. Sparring and competing at this time didn’t really have much meaning.
Maybe you’re strong today, but if I suddenly have a breakthrough, tomorrow I’ll be crushing you.
“Sparring? No.” Lu Lan seemed to understand Shen Xing’s meaning and said with a smile, “It’s like this. You should know that our school’s Disciplinary Department has recently been investigating a case of prohibited weapons smuggling. They’ve even joined forces with the Disciplinary Departments of other schools. And now they’ve traced the source to the lunar base. There’s an anti-federation organization using the lunar base to smuggle prohibited weapons to the Academy Home Planet. So, there’s an opportunity to go to the lunar base. Not only will you be able to interact with the prodigies from several schools, but you might also get to experience the interdimensional battlefield on the moon. How about it, are you interested?”
“Lunar base?” Shen Xing was truly surprised.
For students on the Academy Home Planet, even though they knew there was an interdimensional battlefield on the moon, they didn’t really have the opportunity to experience it.
Only those who were close to the Innate realm, or even those who had already reached the Innate realm, were eligible, and even then, it was only a brief experience under protection.
But he was still only at Marrow Tempering, and just a freshman.
He could have such an opportunity?
No, none of that was important.
What was more important was whether he could take this opportunity to get some more powerful weapons and bring them to the other world.
Shen Xing’s heart started to race at this thought.
The weapons he could get now were unlikely to be much stronger than what he already had, because those weapons with higher destructive power were simply not allowed to enter the Academy Home Planet, let alone be taken away. But if he went to the lunar base, or even to the interdimensional battlefield on the moon, he might have a chance!
If he could bring higher-grade weapons to the other world…
Then even if a Third Realm expert attacked him, he might be able to kill them!
He wouldn’t be able to do whatever he wanted in the Wu Region, but he could at least truly fear no force!
“This opportunity does sound good,” Shen Xing said without hesitation, “I’ve long been interested in the interdimensional battlefield. It’s not easy to get a chance to see it in advance.”
“Indeed. If it weren’t for the Disciplinary Department’s mission, freshmen like you wouldn’t be able to leave the Academy Home Planet,” Lu Lan said with a smile, seeming unsurprised by his response.
“Do I just need to accept the mission?” Shen Xing opened the Disciplinary Department’s software and did indeed find a mission located at the lunar base.
The requirement was to be at least at the Marrow Tempering stage and to undergo an assessment.
“Yes, just accept the mission. The assessment is waived. I’ll directly arrange for you to be one of the mission leaders,” Lu Lan said directly, “That way, you’ll have more autonomy. Normally, you can’t just run around on off-world missions.”
“Good!” Shen Xing once again felt the benefits of being a prodigy.
◈◈◈
Others needed to be assessed and compete, but he didn’t have to do anything and could even be a leader.
However, the lunar base…
After hanging up the call, Shen Xing tilted his head back and looked at the sky, his heart filled with anticipation.
Although he had long known that he was in an interstellar age, in reality, in his memories, apart from being brought from another planet by his parents when he was nine years old and directly entering the third grade of elementary school, he had no memories of interstellar travel.
And this was the case for most people.
Most people in the Human Federation only made one or two interstellar voyages in their lifetime. The rest of the time, they stayed on a certain planet or in a certain space city to live out their lives.
But if one wanted to continue on the martial path, let alone interstellar travel, even interdimensional battlefields had to be experienced frequently.
That was where martial artists could truly shine.
It was impossible to say that he wasn’t looking forward to it.
“Check the situation of the lunar base. The focus is to see if there’s a chance to purchase and take away more powerful weapons!” Shen Xing immediately began to look up information.
Here, the moon was not an immigration area, but a military base, and only those with military clearance were allowed to enter.
After all, there was an interdimensional battlefield there.
Although it had been sealed off, it had not been completely conquered, and there were still a large number of martial artists fighting on the battlefield.
The teacher from the Bone Tempering class, Teacher Lin, was seriously injured on the lunar battlefield, which was why he temporarily retired to become a teacher.
If even Innate realm martial artists could end up like this, it was clear that it was not a safe place.
Of course, there were also many things that attracted so many martial artists.
With his current citizen clearance and military clearance, he could already access a lot of relevant information. The main enemies on the lunar battlefield were various transcendent giant beasts. Their refined blood and flesh were very beneficial to the cultivation of martial artists. In addition, the lunar battlefield also produced a transcendent resource called “Purple Crystal Marrow”. After special processing, it could accelerate cultivation and even enhance one’s foundation.
The Human Federation lacked the alchemy techniques of the other world that contained martial path intents, but they could efficiently use various transcendent resources with martial arts technology. They had their own unique advantages in terms of resources.
Shen Xing also wanted to experience it.
Even though his current cultivation speed was already very fast, if he could be faster and his foundation could be stronger, then of course he couldn’t miss it.
Of course, the focus was still on weapons and equipment.
Weapons could be used freely on the interdimensional battlefield!
Just for this reason alone, he had to go.
“There’s still a week.” Shen Xing quickly saw the time reminder sent by Lu Lan.
He suddenly felt a sense of urgency.
It was easy to imagine that both the lunar base and the lunar battlefield were much more dangerous than staying on the Human Home Planet. Every bit of strength improvement was a guarantee.
Moreover, his strength was about to enter an explosive period.
“It’s difficult to make a major breakthrough in realm cultivation in such a short period. Let’s slow down for now. First, set a small goal: let the Dragon Elephant Body enter the second realm!” Shen Xing once again began to cultivate diligently.
And this time, he focused on the Dragon Elephant Body.
The previously obtained flood dragon bones once again played an important role.
There were even a large amount of demon beast flesh and blood containing dragon vein power. Even Innate realm demon beast flesh and blood were being offered in exchange for the opportunity to “comprehend the inheritance of a Fourth Realm expert.”
Therefore, after Shen Xing began to focus on his cultivation, the progress of his Dragon Elephant Body, which was already close to completion, increased at a visible rate.
Until the third day.
With a roar, a fierce Dragon Elephant momentum suddenly erupted in Shen Xing’s training room, causing the entire room to vibrate slightly, as if a giant dragon elephant was really rolling around inside, shaking everything.
The servants outside were all terrified, and many were directly stunned by the impact of the momentum.
Even the two Marrow Tempering experts from the Gong Family were trembling, their faces pale.
At Shen Xing’s current level, their realm and strength were simply too low.
Fortunately, this change did not last long.
With a final low roar, Shen Xing could feel an indescribable hunger constantly emerging from his abdomen. While frantically consuming the roasted meat of an Innate realm dragon vein demon beast, he could also clearly feel that his Dragon Elephant Body had reached the first realm completion!
He had his first completed top-grade martial path intent!
After eating and drinking his fill, Shen Xing measured his Qi and Blood strength again.
288.4!
