Chapter 250 Dragon Tendons and Flood Dragon Bones, Twelve Times the Strength!
At this moment, Furuta arrived at the podium, and the members of the genius team took their seats.
"Students, the special admission notices from Blue Star University have now been sent to you."
However, some students are not yet 18 years old. The Martial Arts Association needs to solicit your opinions on whether you will respond to Blue Star University's special recruitment, go to the Northwest Front for combat military training, and then be admitted to Blue Star University.
At this moment, Lu Qingying, who was in the audience, raised her hand and asked, "Excuse me, Elder Gu, is it still possible to refuse a special admission notice from Blue Star University?"
"Yes, if you are younger, you can enter Blue Star University a year later and enjoy the resources provided by the province for another year."
However, students planning to repeat a grade should ideally be no older than 17 and a half, otherwise they will miss a year of training.
Wei Ranran was of the right age, so she asked, "What are the advantages and disadvantages of going to Blue Star University and repeating a year?"
"The advantages and disadvantages are obvious. Choosing to stay in the province for a year allows you to enjoy the resources and support of Dongchuan Province, but the martial arts environment in Dongchuan Province is far inferior to that of Lanxing University. Lanxing University has an excellent martial arts environment, the best martial arts masters to teach you, and you can also come into contact with extraterrestrial martial arts."
Conversely, if one enters Blue Star University, they certainly won't enjoy the resources available within their province; Blue Star University will likely only focus on cultivating martial arts geniuses from the top ten provinces of Blue Star.
"Do you have to decide whether to stay or leave now?" Lu Qingying asked.
"No need for that. Just tell me your decision before you head out for military training."
After Gu Tian finished speaking, he continued, "Students, since everyone is here today, I'd like to focus on the details of participating in actual combat military training on the Northwest front."
The actual combat military training, fighting against alien beasts, requires you to fight the alien beasts head-on.
Fighting against alien beasts is very dangerous. Under normal circumstances, a first-tier alien beast can easily kill a second-tier martial artist. When encountering a powerful first-tier alien beast, even a third-tier martial artist is not confident of victory.
Because the beasts don't have human consciousness, they only destroy and kill. But we are different; we are afraid of getting hurt, afraid of pain, and even more afraid of dying!
"The students present are generally at the level of second-tier martial artists. If we want to fight against the alien beasts, we must fight in groups and never act alone."
"Old-fashioned, didn't the military training say there would be people specifically looking after us? We shouldn't encounter any danger, right?" one member asked.
"If you have this kind of thinking, then your chances of encountering danger on the front line are definitely ten times greater than others."
While the military training areas on the Northwest Front have dedicated caretakers and even martial arts masters in charge, there are only about 500 caretakers for more than 10,000 students participating in the training.
Even if there were ten times more people than five hundred, there would still be areas that couldn't be taken care of.
Let me tell you some data: in the past three years, no fewer than a thousand people have died each year from attacks by alien beasts during military training exercises.
Last year saw a record high, with over two thousand casualties across various provinces.
One member asked, "Why were there so many casualties last year?"
"That's because last year, a sixth-tier alien beast accidentally broke into a military training area."
As soon as this sixth-tier beast entered the military training area, it began a large-scale killing and destruction spree. If it weren't for the timely intervention of the Grandmaster-level martial artist in charge, the number of casualties caused by the beast would probably have doubled.
"A sixth-tier alien beast can actually intrude into the military training area? This military training is too dangerous!"
"That's right, a sixth-order alien beast. Alien beasts are strong to begin with. A sixth-order alien beast can probably only be dealt with by a grandmaster martial artist who has cultivated innate qi."
Below the Grandmaster level, even a seventh-tier martial artist is no match for a sixth-tier beast.
Several members were discussing it below.
Gu Tian cleared his throat and said again, "Therefore, all of you must not take the actual combat military training lightly."
Chen Lie is the team leader of our Dongchuan Province Genius Team. Once we arrive at the training area, everyone must follow his instructions and strive to complete this training with zero casualties!
"So, Mr. Gu, what are the requirements for completing military training?" a member asked, raising his hand.
"There are two requirements for completing military training. Taking a province as a whole, all students participating in the military training must successfully hunt down a strange beast and survive in the training area for at least ten days in order to complete the military training."
Here I want to tell you something: this year, including the students in the Genius Training Camp, 360 people from Dongchuan Province have received early admission offers from Blue Star University.
I mean, we have to successfully hunt down 360 strange beasts to pass this stage.
"So, does that mean the trainees in the genius training camp are also included?"
Hunting down 360 strange beasts? That's way too difficult!
"The key issue is that the trainees in the genius training camp are all weak and can't help at all; they're just dragging the team down!" Cui Jinyang couldn't help but say.
Gu Tian said, "This is the case in all provinces. In some provinces, there are even requirements to hunt a certain number of second-tier beasts."
The threat of strange beasts on the Northwest Front is getting worse. Last year, twenty-seven master-level strange beasts even emerged from underground caves.
If one day, Grandmaster-level alien beasts begin to emerge from the underground caves, then the entire Blue Star will be in grave danger.
Sending you, the top martial arts geniuses of Earth, to the front lines is also a way for the Earth's official leadership to let you understand the grim situation Earth is currently facing.
They urged us, hoping that someone on Blue Star would soon break through to the legendary tenth-tier martial artist level, which is the legendary Grandmaster of the Celestial Realm from beyond the stars.
After saying this, Gu Tian glanced down below.
"I will notify you as soon as the Martial Arts Association releases the specific time for our military training trip to the Northwest."
Next, students who achieved rankings in the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament can go to the adjacent martial arts room to collect their rewards.
After Gu Tian finished speaking, he dismissed the members.
Chen Lie was the first to arrive at the martial arts room next door and collect the tendon-strengthening and bone-shaping seedlings he had specified.
Because he was the champion of the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament, he had already received all the rewards except for the one that required specific resources.
After obtaining the Yi Jin Su Gu Miao (a type of bone-shaping seedling), Chen Lie immediately found a training room and went inside.
After unpacking the Yi Jin Su Gu Miao (a type of herbal medicine), what comes into view is a jade-green plant that looks like a seedling.
"This is a top-tier, second-order martial arts treasure; it allows you to cultivate 'Dragon Tendon Bone Refining.'"
Chen Lie immediately went to the cultivation platform in the middle of the cultivation room, sat down cross-legged, and began to circulate the "Dragon Rebirth Technique".
The body-refining method.
The cultivation of dragon tendons and dragon bones is completely different from that of tough skin and flesh. Tendons and bones are the internal structure of the body and have already grown. If you want to cultivate dragon tendons and refine bones, you must reshape your tendons and bones.
Chen Lie's internal energy and blood began to circulate rapidly. At this moment, he swallowed the Yi Jin Su Gu Miao in his hand. Under the stimulation of Chen Lie's internal energy and blood, Chen Lie's muscles and bones began to change.
According to the "Dragon Nirvana Technique", Chen Lie tempered his entire body's muscles and bones, using a clever method of promoting qi and blood to shape his spine into the form of a bone dragon.
After an unknown amount of time, the Dragon Tendon Bone Refinement technique gradually took shape within Chen Lie's body, and a faint aura of power, like the might of a dragon, appeared around him.
Just as the dragon-shaped spine was about to take shape, Chen Lie's blood and qi suddenly surged.
"Now is the time for the first blood tempering!"
Waves of energy continuously washed over Chen Lie's soon-to-form dragon-shaped spine.
The purity of Chen Lie's Qi and blood changed at an incredible speed.
In an instant, the oppressive aura of a higher life form, like a colossal cosmic beast, filled the entire training room.
Chen Lie's spine was completely sculpted into the shape of a dragon.
"Dragon tendons and dragon bones, complete!"
Chen Lie rose from the cultivation platform, feeling the changes that the formation of the Dragon Tendons and Bones brought to his life level.
"My physical attributes are transforming into those of a cosmic behemoth, and my life level is getting closer and closer to that of a cosmic behemoth."
Once you reach the third level of Qi and Blood Extreme Realm, you will be able to possess a physique comparable to a young Starry Sky Beast.
The cosmic behemoth naturally suppresses ordinary alien beasts.
"Now that I've mastered the Dragon Tendons and Flood Dragon Bones, I possess a faint trace of the might of a flood dragon. Even if I go to military training and stand in the middle of the training area, most low-level beasts won't come within 500 meters of me because of the intimidation of the Dragon Tendons and Flood Dragon Bones."
The effects of the dragon tendons and jiao bones go far beyond this; they also have a significant effect on enhancing his combat prowess.
"However, the most noteworthy thing is that I completed my first blood tempering."
Because the completion of the first blood tempering will definitely greatly increase my strength.
Chen Lie walked out of the training room and came to a strength tester.
He swung his fist and punched the target of the strength tester with all his might.
With a loud "boom".
The numbers on the pneumatic strength testing instrument suddenly started flashing.
Strength value: 18632.57 jun.
"I remember my blood energy level was a little over 1,500 calories last time I had it checked."
My Qi and Blood values remain unchanged, but my strength has increased by more than 2,000 jin. Converted, my current Qi and Blood strength is approximately 12.3 times greater.
A 12.3 times increase in energy is an incredible multiple, even within the Azure Star Region of Blue Star.
"The first blood tempering increased my strength by more than 1.5 times. If nothing unexpected happens, I will definitely be able to reach the legendary 15 times strength at the first extreme level of the blood tempering stage."
Only by reaching fifteen times the strength value can one hope to step into the third extreme realm of the Qi and Blood stage.
As Chen Lie murmured to himself, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Over 18,000 jin of strength, Chen Lie, you've already started your 'dirty cultivation'?"
Chen Lie turned his head and saw Luo Zhixun walking over from the side.
"No wonder he was able to defeat Ji Lingxuan. With such high strength, he must have already completed the Bone Refining stage of cultivation."
Chen Lie said, "The next step is to refine the filth!"
"Your martial arts progress is incredibly fast! I wonder how much energy you have now?"
"More than five times."
"That's over five times? So your Qi and Blood value is around 3700 calories?"
"More or less!" Chen Lie nodded.
"That's amazing! I wonder when my strength will break five times!" Luo Zhixun said with some envy.
"It definitely won't take long," Chen Lie said.
"Here's a little insider tip: we're setting off in five days for combat training on the Northwest front to fight against alien beasts. Make sure you're ready in advance."
"Oh? The old man made an announcement?" Chen Lie asked.
"The old man didn't announce it; it was my dad who said it!"
The date he and Chairman Xu of the Martial Arts Association had agreed upon had not yet been communicated.
"Okay, I understand."
"To be honest, I have never seen a living alien beast. Everyone says that alien beasts are ferocious. Even a third-level martial artist would have a hard time dealing with a first-level alien beast. I don't know how alien beasts are classified into levels."
"These are easy to identify. They are low-level beasts, generally referring to beasts below the third rank. You can roughly identify them by their weight."
Ordinary beasts weighing less than 10,000 jin are classified as Tier 1 beasts, while those weighing more than 10,000 jin but less than 20,000 jin are classified as Tier 2 beasts.
Beasts weighing more than 20,000 jin but less than 50,000 jin are classified as third-tier exotic beasts.
The classification of higher-level mythical beasts becomes somewhat complicated.
For example, some Grandmaster-level beasts weigh nearly a hundred tons, are enormous, and move like a small, moving mountain, while others may not even be as large as a Tier 1 beast.
Luo Zhixun smiled and said, "The ancients have said that there are no Grandmaster-level alien beasts on Blue Star yet. How do you know that a Grandmaster-level alien beast looks like this?"
"Maybe I dreamed about it," Chen Lie said.
In his previous life, he had personally witnessed a giant cosmic beast in its prime, almost the size of half a small planet. If left unchecked, it could even destroy a star cluster. Even the strongest Order Army of the Central Galaxy Empire had difficulty dealing with such a terrifying existence, which was countless times more terrifying than the alien beasts of Earth.
Southern Jiangsu Province, Ruan Family.
Ruan Liusu had just returned home after finishing her training when she saw her grandfather, Ruan Zhengzhi, walking towards her.
"Susu, are you sure? When are we going to the Northwest for military training?"
Ruan Liusu said, "The specific details haven't been announced yet, but it should be in the next few days."
"Well, my old friend asked me to ask you if you're free lately. He wants to bring his grandson to southern Jiangsu to meet you," Ruan Zhengzhi said.
"Oh? Didn't you contact your old friend in Jiangsu Province last time? He said his grandson had some insights into martial arts, so he postponed it for a while."
"Why are you free now? Have you made a breakthrough in martial arts?"
"I'm not sure about that either. When would you like them to come over?"
Ruan Liusu thought for a moment and said, "There's no need to bring them over. Let's go directly to Dongchuan Province!"
"How can this be? We are the women, how can we go to their place on our own initiative?" Ruan Liusu said immediately upon hearing this.
"What does it matter? I've never been to Dongchuan before. We can go secretly and see for ourselves what this so-called Dongchuan martial arts champion and the top martial arts scholar of three provinces is all about."
Ruan Liusu still had a very deep impression of the young man she saw at the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament.
The champion of martial arts from three provinces is certainly an extraordinary figure. If she hadn't met him in person and thought he was quite good, she wouldn't have bothered wasting her time replying to those green bubble messages every day.
She was getting sick of receiving hundreds of messages of concern and care from Green Bubble every day.
After a long day of hard martial arts training, I can't even get a proper rest when I get home, and I have to deal with those meaningless messages on Green Bubble.
She really wanted to ask him face to face, "You wasted all your time chatting on Green Bubble, how did you become the martial arts champion?"
Recalling how aloof the other party was in Yunchuan, and looking at the hundreds of messages sent throughout the day, I could only sense that the other party had been arrogant at first but then became obsequious.
