This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick! Chapter 12 – Chapter 12: Chapter 12: The Final Exam

Chapter 12: Chapter 12: The Final Exam

After the upgrade, the Blood Soul had increased by two more than before.

From this moment on, Li Fei's ‘health bar' would be 20% greater than that of ordinary people.

Not only that, but Li Fei also received information from the Myriad Blood Pearl that his Blood Soul's recovery speed was faster than before the upgrade.

Previously, it took 24 hours to recover one Blood Soul; now it would take 24 hours to recover 1.2 Blood Souls, still allowing for a full recovery of all Blood Souls within ten days.

“So no matter how many Blood Souls increase in the future, the recovery speed will keep pace, allowing for a full recovery of all Blood Souls within ten days?”

Li Fei thought to himself with pleasure.

“Training for the Heavenly Gang Dominator Body ends here for today; do physical training this afternoon.”

Hao Yi interrupted Li Fei's daydreaming.

Li Fei quickly said, “Teacher, I would like to take another medicinal bath this afternoon and continue training the Heavenly Gang Dominator Body.”

One training session would almost consume half a Blood Soul; if he trained twice a day, that would just use up one Blood Soul, whereas his Blood Soul's recovery rate was 1.2 per 24 hours, which was completely sustainable.

That's why he wished to continue training in the afternoon.

Hao Yi's expression darkened, “I've told you before, this medicine can cause damage to the body, and any kind of Horizontal Training Skills involves a process of repeatedly destroying and rebuilding the body during training, which should not be overdone!”

His tone became stern at the end.

Anyone practicing Horizontal Training Skills needed to have a limit; otherwise, they would ruin themselves before the skills were even fully developed.

Even the fastest frequency for training the Heavenly Gang Dominator Body's Qi Training and resistance to impact was once every three days. Li Fei's request to train twice a day was practically asking for death.

“The student understands, but still wants to try. Please rest assured, Teacher, I will not take risks with my body.”

Li Fei pleaded earnestly.

Hao Yi stepped forward, grasped Li Fei's right hand, and placed his fingers on his pulse.

A few seconds later, he looked at Li Fei with a hint of surprise.

From the pulse, Li Fei's Qi seemed very stable, not at all like someone who had just undergone training.

Hao Yi let go and pondered for a moment, “I will come over at three o'clock this afternoon.”

After saying that, he turned and left.

“Thank you, Teacher.”

Li Fei breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him from behind.

Such training was, in fact, most exhausting for Hao Yi, the teacher.

The latter had to ensure precision with every move and control the force precisely; it could neither be too strong nor too weak, or else the desired effect would not be achieved.

That's why the Heavenly Gang Dominator Body, a skill not many in the entire Xing City Martial Arts Hall could teach.

This was the reason so many people wanted to become students of special grade lecturers.

That afternoon, just like in the morning, Li Fei took the medicine in advance before soaking in the medicinal bath.

When he finished, Hao Yi appeared on time in the practice room.

“Begin.”

Hao Yi said indifferently.

Li Fei gave a fist salute to his opponent and then stood in the Heavenly Gang Qi Pile stance.

Slap! Slap! Slap!

Dull thumping sounds echoed in the practice room again…

After completing the second Heavenly Gang Dominator Body training session of the day, Li Fei bade farewell to Hao Yi.

Once Li Fei had left, Hao Yi went to the supply building and handed three 20-yuan paper bills to the administrator:

“Please get me a pack of Primordial Qi Powder.”

“Just a moment.”

The administrator said very respectfully.

Soon, he handed a packet of medicine to Hao Yi:

“Mr. Hao, here is the Primordial Qi Powder you requested.”

Primordial Qi Powder was used to replenish Qi for Martial Artists. If Li Fei trained at the normal pace, which was once every three days, Hao Yi wouldn't need to supplement his Qi.

But Li Fei's extreme training pace of twice a day demanded so much from Hao Yi's strength that he had to buy Primordial Qi Powder to cope.

For the next two days, Li Fei would train the Heavenly Gang Dominator Body once in the morning and once in the afternoon, while conducting physical training at night, pushing his training to the limit.

Fortunately, with the Myriad Blood Pearl close at hand, while the Blood Soul recovered, it would also heal his body's injuries and accumulate damage, so Li Fei didn't run into any problems. His body was getting stronger and stronger.

Every time he underwent impact resistance training, he would occasionally use the Myriad Blood Pearl to share the damage and absorb energy for upgrades.

After the Myriad Blood Pearl was upgraded to Level 2, the energy required for further upgrades had clearly increased. The energy Li Fei gained daily from his medication and the impact from training was only about 15%.

Yet, he was quite content with this pace.

Hao Yi, on the other hand, trained Li Fei silently every time, never revealing to him that he was taking Primordial Qi Powder in private.

Indeed, if any other special grade lecturer were to personally put forth their energy to train a student, they would have to charge extra.

And the money spent on Primordial Qi Powder would generally come from the student.

But Hao Yi not only did not charge extra, but he was also paying out of his pocket to train his student.

Such practice was unique in the Martial Arts Hall.

…

Smack!

Hao Yi struck Li Fei's left shoulder heavily with an iron rod.

As the rod fell, Li Fei's shoulder muscles swiftly bulged like elastic rubber, bouncing the iron rod away.

“That's enough for today,”

Hao Yi said, putting away the iron rod.

Today was the sixth day of Li Fei's training in the Heavenly Gang Dominator Body.

In these six days, he soaked in a medicinal bath twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon, followed by Qi Training and resistance strike training.

The medicine that was supposed to last him for a month had been used up in just six days, forcing him to spend another 35 paper money to purchase a set.

Such a pace of training was incredibly costly!

However, this intense training allowed Li Fei to improve rapidly—in just six days, his body became much sturdier, with tough skin and elastic muscles.

The energy of the Myriad Blood Pearl was also less than 10% away from being able to level up again.

“Thank you for your hard work, teacher,”

Li Fei said, bowing earnestly to Hao Yi.

Over these six days, the person who had worked the hardest wasn't him, but Hao Yi.

Hao Yi looked at Li Fei with a sense of emotion.

Every day he carefully checked Li Fei's physical condition, ready to stop the high-intensity training immediately if anything was amiss. Yet, thus far, there had been no issues whatsoever with Li Fei's body.

Such a natural talent for the body was something Hao Yi had never seen before!

“Your Heavenly Gang Dominator Body is just one step away from the minor achievement stage of Qi-Blood Condensation, where it moves spontaneously. The next step will be hard to achieve through rigorous training alone; you need to fight more in real battles and understand through practical experience,”

Hao Yi advised Li Fei. “Once you've reached the minor achievement stage of the Heavenly Gang Dominator Body, you'll be able to start working with Implants.”

Li Fei's eyes lit up.

He had long been looking forward to the Implant, eager to see what true Martial Arts of this world were like.

Li Fei said, “Alright, I'll work hard!”

He then bade farewell to Hao Yi and ran back home.

Since following Hao Yi's training, he had stopped cycling to the Martial Arts Hall, choosing instead to run to and from as a part of his physical training.

Upon returning home, Li Fei went into his room and habitually turned on the radio to listen to the news:

“On July 16th, the President of Wu'an University, Shi Caiming, led a team to visit the Daluo Sect and had a friendly exchange with the Qingxu True Monarch of the Daluo Sect. They consulted on the upcoming Martial Arts exchange competition and ultimately scheduled the first Martial Arts exchange competition for September 1st at the Martial Arts Hall of Wu'an University. At that time, outstanding students from the Zhi Ge Department of twelve universities will participate, along with the elite disciples from the Taoist Three Sects, to exchange Martial Arts insights.”

Li Fei showed a look of yearning upon hearing this news.

The sophisticated Martial Arts of the world were half contained within the Zhi Ge Department of the twelve universities and half within the World. Nearly all of the peak masters were in the World.

The Da Lan Dynasty could suppress all sides with its Military Formation Military Evil, Iron Armor Iron Cavalry, crushing any dissent.

However, since the Mingxin reforms and the establishment of twelve universities, the court had seen considerable improvement in individual martial strength. Li Fei guessed that this competition between the twelve universities and the Taoist Three Sects was a test of that improvement.

Unfortunately, such a significant event was still too far out of reach for Li Fei. What he needed to do now was find a way to break through the minor achievement stage of the Heavenly Gang Dominator Body and get in touch with Implants sooner.

“I'm back!”

The voice of Li Tianyu came from outside.

Soon, this childhood friend and sister figure pushed open the door and entered Li Fei's room:

“The graduation exam is tomorrow; how are you preparing?”

Li Fei turned off the radio and turned to face her:

“No special preparation, just going to compete as usual.”

Every year, the Zhi Ge Department of each secondary specialized school had a significant graduation exam. Students who ranked well in the exam would be recognized as outstanding graduates.

Even if students from the Zhi Ge Department didn't become Martial Artists, they could still pursue careers in the Inspection Bureau or the military, and being an ‘outstanding graduate' would be beneficial for their future prospects.

Li Tianyu planned to attend university and getting the title of ‘outstanding graduate' would give her extra points during assessments.

“I heard you've been taken in by a special-grade instructor at the Martial Arts Hall and have learned some powerful skills recently. Looks like you're quite confident,”

Li Tianyu teased as she looked Li Fei over with a smile.

Li Fei also laughed, “Yes, so it's better if you don't run into me in the exam.”

Li Tianyu raised her fist, “You also better not run into me, or I won't be holding back, brother.”

Her talent was Rank A, her Martial Arts aptitude equally impressive. Previously, the original owner of the body would lose to her nine out of ten times during sparring.

Li Fei just smiled in response.

He genuinely hoped not to encounter his sister too early in the exam because he wanted her to obtain the title of ‘outstanding graduate'—and he didn't want to lose himself.

His Heavenly Gang Dominator Body was just shy of minor achievement, and Hao Yi had told him that the final step required more fighting experience. The upcoming graduation exam was an excellent opportunity to earn that experience.

Moreover, the top ten finishers of the graduation exam would receive a monetary reward, and Li Fei certainly didn't want to miss out on that prize.

“Dinner's ready,”

Zhang Yuqing's voice called out.

“Coming,”

Li Fei stood up and walked out of the room with Li Tianyu.

In the living room, the family enjoyed a harmonious meal together.
