Chapter 84: Consecutive Breakthroughs (Dedicated to Mengzhu, the Leader of the Cauldron Alliance)
"Alright, that's about it. Thank you for your cooperation." After the routine inquiry, Jing Xia let Fang Xing return to class.
As Fang Xing walked away, Jing Xia suddenly called out to him, "By the way, another student from your class, Bailian Yi, was also absent today. Do you know anything about it?"
"Bailian... I don't know," Fang Xing replied, his footsteps pausing as he feigned a natural expression of confusion. "Did something happen to her? Could it be related to the evil god as well?"
"I don't know, but we will continue our investigation," Jing Xia assured.
Jing Xia watched as Fang Xing left, and then she made her way directly to the principal's office.
Lu Guangming, holding his thermos cup, felt his head balding even more. "Two university seeds gone just like that... life is so unfair to me..."
"Principal Lu..." Jing Xia greeted him. "Thank you for your support and cooperation. I've finished questioning Fang Xing."
"I know about Xiao Fang. He has always been diligent and hardworking..." Principal Lu resumed his usual cheerful expression.
However, Jing Xia remained vigilant, not daring to take this powerful figure from Planet Eaglet lightly.
She replied calmly, "Liu Wei and Bailian Yi seemed fine at first, but upon further investigation, there are issues. To be honest, I found it strange to have several geniuses in one class."
"Then, are you suspecting Xiao Fang?" Lu Guangming asked as he opened his thermos cup, the white steam obscuring his expression.
"Although there is no evidence, but retracing his actions during this period, I feel that something is amiss..." Jing Xia narrowed her eyes.
As the captain of the Action Department, she had extensive experience in handling cases. She had previously sensed something odd about Yucai High School and had conducted a detailed investigation as she lived nearby. Now, she had her suspicions.
However, more meticulous investigations were needed, preferably an in-depth inspection. For instance, directly taking control of someone and forcibly searching them...
"Nevertheless, without evidence, we must not act recklessly!" Lu Guangming suddenly spoke up. "After all... the Hundred Stars Joint Examination is approaching. If we don't have any outstanding students, Principal Xia will be heartbroken."
"I understand," Jing Xia said expressionlessly, agreeing without hesitation.
...
"Troubles, all troubles!"
In the Blissful Home Residence.
Fang Xing closed the door to his room and checked the protective talisman, no longer hiding his true emotions. His face turned exceedingly gloomy.
'I never expected that the previously hidden problem would suddenly blow up, and it blew up two at once...'
'There were three geniuses in one class, and now two of them have issues. If I were them, I would suspect myself as well...'
'Now, how do I break this deadlock?'
Fang Xing was no longer daring enough to recklessly travel between worlds, fearing that others might discover his secret.
'I can monitor others, but others can monitor me too... The technology possessed by the Prevention and Treatment Bureau is definitely more advanced than mine...'
'How do I break this deadlock?'
'The school is protecting me because I can bring them honor... But these are all fleeting...'
'The most useful thing is still my own strength!'
'As long as I can break through the four realms of martial arts and become a certified occupation holder... My citizen rank will also increase, entering the protection range of the 'Omnibrain.' Even the Prevention and Treatment Bureau wouldn't dare to take extreme measures without evidence...'
Fang Xing never placed his hopes on individuals like Lu Guangming.
The Omnibrain was another option.
It was the highest brain-computer technology in the Federation, renowned for its absolute fairness, justice, and selflessness... It even oversaw most of the Federation's production operations.
Of course, Fang Xing maintained a reserved attitude towards it. While the machine itself might be selfless, the people who built it and designed its fundamental logic might not be.
'However... While this constraint may not hold much power over the giant corporations, noble houses, and top powerhouses of the Federation, it will definitely have a strong binding force on a small-scale Prevention and Treatment Bureau on a tiny planet.'
'Moreover, once I achieve the Daring realm, a martial artist's path is set, and it becomes difficult to be swayed... Even if the Sect of Doors and Gates had their eyes on me before, they would give up afterward...'
Although they might only have the option of killing him after discovering that he couldn't be corrupted, the intensity of their actions might not be as extreme as before.
"Break the deadlock, break the deadlock!"
Fang Xing's spirit condensed as he had felt his willpower enhance after the previous attack.
He entered the practice room, applied a layer of 'Boiling Blood' on himself, and began his martial arts training.
Roar!
In his ears, the angry roar of dragons and elephants seemed to echo, and a faint golden light was cultivated on his skin as his qi and blood condensed.
Boom!
The dragon and elephant skill mark in his attribute panel blurred and began to break through...
Time passed, and Fang Xing opened his eyes, gazing at his hands. "So powerful... The amplification brought by the breakthrough in the dragon and elephant skill is indeed comprehensive."
Glancing at his attribute panel again, he saw that the dragon and elephant skill had indeed advanced to the Proficient tier!
Not only did this make his physical body immune to medium-grade magical artifacts, but it also greatly increased his strength! And that wasn't all!
"Dragon and elephant power, aid me in breaking through!"
In the next moment, Fang Xing felt his six internal organs resonating.
The originally robust inner qi, driven and stimulated by the breakthrough in the dragon and elephant skill, suddenly became violent, raging through his gallbladder, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, bladder, and triple burner...
His pores opened, and a lot of dirty blood oozed out...
"The five viscera and six entrails have all been refined..."
"The uncut jade is now perfect, and the body is without leaks..."
Fang Xing murmured.
"The me of today has not only purified my viscera and refined my vital essence, but I have also tempered my body with jade-like skin and steel-like bones."
"I am now at the peak of the Uncut Jade realm... There is no mortal physique that can surpass mine."
"If I want to break through further, I must look towards the Niwan Palace!"
In the context of the otherworld, the Uncut Jade realm is akin to the innate stage, with no path for further advancement.
However, in the Blue Star Federation, the path of martial arts continues to shine brightly ahead! It is even a path filled with boundless brilliance!
"To break through the Uncut Jade realm, one must comprehend an insight martial art!"
"For me, mastering the intent of the dragon and tiger, the Niwan Palace will be like a layer of window paper."
Fang Xing took a deep breath, and as his vital essence surged within him, he slowly executed a set of boxing techniques.
This set of techniques was not some extraordinary skill, but rather the simplest and most ordinary moves and stances from the Blue Star martial arts, not even comparable to the twelve styles of the Military Body Fist.
However, at this moment, as he slowly executed the boxing routine, the intent of dragons and tigers seemed to follow him, with faint thunderous roars accompanying his movements! Between his eyebrows, at the location of the Niwan Palace, dragon and tiger shadows roared.
"Previously, I was unable to break through due to insufficient accumulation... Now that my vital essence is complete and my viscera has been tempered to perfection, what else can stand in my way?"
With this thought, Fang Xing's vital essence surged throughout his body, madly pouring into his Niwan Palace.
Crack!
Crack!
He seemed to hear something shattering.
Then... he felt a sharp pain between his eyebrows! The pain caused Fang Xing's vision to darken momentarily, but when he regained his senses, everything had changed!
"I..."
He slowly looked at his hands, feeling as if his field of vision had suddenly gained an additional perspective.
It was as if a third eye had opened between his eyebrows... Not only that, but even with his eyes closed, Fang Xing could still vaguely see his surroundings, and when it came to his own body, he could perceive it with utmost clarity.
From the crystalline bones that resembled jade, to the surging essence blood that resembled rushing rivers, and even the five-colored viscera and bowels as his vital essence circulated... Everything was clear as day.
"So this is... the mental power of a martial artist in the Fearless realm?"
Fang Xing murmured.
The distinction between a martial artist and an ordinary martial practitioner lies in this mental power!
As he examined the martial arts he had practiced in the past, many of his previous confusions were now cleared.
'With the awakening of mental power, I feel like I've become a martial arts genius... This sensation is stronger than a cultivator's spiritual sense, but it seems slightly inferior to a foundation establishment's divine sense...'
'Regardless, it's still a pretty good breakthrough. The next time I go to Qinglinfang City, I can try out storage bags, puppet birds, and even those high-quality magical artifacts...'
Fang Xing slowly familiarized himself with the feeling of mental power, focusing his attention on his attribute panel:
[Name: Fang Xing]
[Age: 17]
[Occupation: Martial Artist]
[Fourth Realm: Daring (1/200)]
[Military Body Fist, Twelve Styles: 122/200 (Proficient)]
[Great Dragon Stake: 102/400 (Master)]
[Crouching Tiger Stake: 9/400 (Master)]
[Ghost God Blade: 11/200 (Proficient)]
[Extreme Emotion Sword: 5/200 (Proficient)]
[Dragon Elephant Art: 1/200 (Proficient)]
[Gates of Heaven (Charging)]
...
"Everything else aside, the proficiency cap for the Daring realm has increased?"
"Looks like the path of martial arts becomes even more challenging after the fourth realm..."
Fang Xing scanned through the many proficient skills, his eyes filled with anticipation.
According to his previous experience, any skill that reached the Master level would undergo earth-shattering changes.
Advancing these Master-level skills to the next tier would undoubtedly bring about considerable benefits.
"However, the most important thing right now is to obtain my occupational certification!"
Fang Xing put on his jacket, left the house, and boarded a hovering train headed for the city center.
Not far away, inside a rented house.
"The target has left the house!"
"The target has boarded the train..."
Several members of the Action Department, dressed in casual clothes and wearing glasses, seemed to be monitoring Fang Xing's every move.
"Even though we didn't enter his private residence, this kind of outdoor surveillance is still treading a fine line..."
One of the team members hesitated, "Should we follow him?"
"Follow? Of course, we must! Do you want to be scolded by the boss as good-for-nothings?"
A member of the Prevention and Treatment Bureau, their eyes filled with fear, jumped onto their magnetic hovering motorcycle, "Let's go!"
The others thought about it and quickly followed suit.
...
At the city's administrative center.
As Fang Xing entered the building, he immediately sensed an indescribable atmosphere.
People bustled about, their attire exuding an air of professionalism, clearly indicating their elite status.
"Sir, what business brings you here today?"
A silver-white robot approached him, its gentle female voice asking for his purpose.
"Occupational certification!"
Fang Xing replied calmly.
For a moment, the surrounding people seemed to quieten down.
Many of them paused in their work, occasionally stealing glances at Fang Xing with the corners of their eyes.
'So young...'
'Occupational certification? Is that for real?'
'Is he really going to become a Level 1 citizen at such a young age? I wonder if he's married... My cousin is still single... I could introduce them.'
'He's definitely from a wealthy family among the naturals...'
Private messages flew back and forth.
But Fang Xing remained oblivious, calmly going through the certification procedure...
