In a Martial World High, There’s a Mystical Great World – Chapter 53

Chapter 53: Fighting for First Place!

You have to know, in their entire thirty-second school district, there is currently only one who has stepped into Bone Tempering. Even last week, there was only one in the late stage of Muscle Tempering!

“I entered the Bone Tempering Stage a while ago, and it was after that that I joined the Disciplinary Department. After all, this is the only way to join the military system early on the Academy Home Planet. Whether it’s joining the Federation Army in the future or registering as an explorer, there are considerable advantages.” Nangong Jin Yi seemed to sense Shen Xing’s surprise and even comforted him, “I only have an advantage in the early stages. With your talent and ability, you will soon catch up to me.”

“My Qi and Blood has just reached thirty,” Shen Xing did sigh. “If I want to try to break through, I’ll need at least three or four more days.”

He originally estimated that it would take about ten days to go from the middle stage of Muscle Tempering to the peak.

But during this period, he had been cultivating in the other world, where the Yuan Qi was denser, and he had been using pills of the Jade Ginseng Pill level. The speed of his strength improvement had increased a lot.

If he hadn’t spent some time honing his Martial Path Intents, he could have been even faster.

Even so, compared with these true prodigies, there was indeed still some gap.

But what Shen Xing didn’t know was that when he said these words, Nangong Jin Yi, sitting upright in her dormitory on the other side, was also silent for a while.

Qi and Blood at thirty?

It had only been twelve days since their last meeting!

From the peak of Skin Tempering, leaping to the late stage of Muscle Tempering?

This speed…

Even though she had never underestimated Shen Xing, she couldn’t help but be amazed by the speed of this progress.

However, looking at the message sent by the other party, she also understood that the other party’s goal, I’m afraid, has always been people like herself, or rather, the strongest first echelon among their peers!

“Having great ambitions, this is probably one of the reasons why he can catch up step by step,” Nangong Jin Yi murmured to herself.

She had already attached great importance to the talent and ability Shen Xing had shown.

Now, she felt that she had still underestimated him a little.

To the point where she was faintly looking forward to seeing how far this late-blooming genius could go.

Thinking for a moment, she replied with a light smile, “That’s already very fast. If Mi Fei finds out, she’ll probably beg to ride your coattails again. She’s only just reached the middle stage of Muscle Tempering.”

“Then don’t let her know.” Shen Xing couldn’t help but smile, remembering how Mi Fei looked when she had a few drinks last time.

“I can’t guarantee that. Mi Fei has asked me about you several times.” Nangong Jin Yi didn’t dwell on this topic, only replying, “However, my strength is firmly in the top ten in Bailing Academy. If you intend to compete with the prodigies of various schools, next time, I can spar with you.”

“That would be great.” Shen Xing’s eyes lit up. “There’s also a Bone Tempering Stage in our school district. I’ll surpass him first, then I’ll challenge you!”

For some reason, although both were in the Bone Tempering Stage, Shen Xing always felt that Nangong Jin Yi was stronger than Bai Shahai.

Perhaps it was because the last time they met, she saw through his strength at a glance, which left a deep impression on him.

But whether it was Bai Shahai, Nangong Jin Yi, or even stronger people, he wanted to surpass them one by one.

Otherwise, he would be letting down the opportunities he had been given.

“Good!” Nangong Jin Yi only replied with one word this time, but the exclamation mark seemed to indicate something.

After ending the chat, Shen Xing slowly exhaled, traveled back to the other world, and began cultivating again.

The peak of the Muscle Tempering Stage was generally around thirty-four Qi and Blood.

At Shen Xing’s current speed, he did indeed need three or four more days.

And today was already Friday. Catching up to a breakthrough before Monday was probably unlikely.

However, in the week after next Monday’s class ranking, he would definitely break through to Bone Tempering.

In other words, next Monday should be his last ranking in the Muscle Tempering Class.

It would seem a bit regrettable not to take first place once.

“Tomorrow, better equipment will be delivered. The Martial Path teachers’ exclusive store also has practice videos of martial artists stronger than the Innate Realm. If I can cultivate Leg Axe to Major Completion, I will definitely be qualified to compete for first place!” Shen Xing was full of drive.

It had only been a little over a month and three weeks since he started on the Martial Path. Not even two months.

◈◈◈

Yet he was about to step into the Bone Tempering Stage.

Thinking back to what An Yiyi said before about reaching Marrow Tempering in half a year, it seemed that there was no difficulty.

But Shen Xing’s goal was not just the Innate Class, but first place in the Innate Class!

Even first place in the thirty-second district, and even the entire Linjiang School.

According to the current progress, this was by no means a wild fantasy, but rather a great advantage.

He didn’t delay any longer and directly began his cultivation.

The next day, Saturday, a series of equipment was delivered to his dormitory. Many students in the same dormitory building saw it, and they were all extremely envious.

Looking at the packaging, they could roughly guess that these were probably cultivation equipment.

“Damn rich people!”

Shen Xing even heard this muttered more than once.

But he didn’t care. There wasn’t a single freshman here, mostly old students, and the kind that were about to be eliminated.

When he broke through Bone Tempering, he could move to a bigger dormitory.

“Unpack!”

After having the service robots help him move them into the dormitory, he took out all the equipment as quickly as possible. Besides the Martial Path Intent Learning Device, the equipment he valued most among these was the small-area Yuan Qi Gathering Device.

In appearance, it was four pieces of equipment placed in the four corners, connected to each other by resilient metal wires that could be stretched to a certain extent.

This device could confine Yuan Qi within an area, artificially creating a region of dense Yuan Qi.

Obviously, the denser the Yuan Qi in the area where it was used, the better the effect.

But with the Yuan Qi density of the Academy Home Planet, if one wanted it to truly be effective, most people would use Yuan Qi Pills and the like as a Yuan Qi source.

The method of use was also very simple.

One only needed to crush Yuan Qi Pills within the restricted area, allowing the Yuan Qi to leak out at an accelerated rate, and it would all be confined within that area.

Shen Xing took it directly to his training ground in the other world. The moment he used it, he could clearly feel that the Yuan Qi density in the area was increasing at a not-slow speed.

He didn’t even use any pills.

“Sure enough, this equipment can only truly be effective when placed here.” Shen Xing was full of anticipation.

He then took out the better Martial Path Intent Assistance Learning Device and brought up the projection of the Third Realm martial artist practicing Leg Axe that he had spent more than a million to buy.

The figure and appearance were still obscured, but this time, there was a “target.”

It was a hill at least sixty or seventy meters high.

The strong man just stood in front of the hill. The moment he raised his leg high, the invisible Yuan Qi surged, as if an incomparably huge heavy axe had instantly chopped down.

Boom——!

Shen Xing watched as the entire hill was split in two from top to bottom and collapsed with a crash.
