We made you practice martial arts, and you've mastered the Great Golden Body?

Chapter 95 Summary after the war
On the morning of July 7th, two suns rose together, their golden rays filtering through the sparse clouds and illuminating the rows of buildings.

The high-energy beam cannon barrel gleamed coldly in the sunlight.

Temporary base in the third-level buffer zone, room 437.

Wow~
Hot water at 30-40 degrees Celsius was sprayed out, falling like a drizzle onto Shen Bailian's body and his strong muscles. The warm water flowed down the grooves between Lu Biping's muscles.

When people have free time, physical and mental fatigue will overwhelm them like a tide.

If it weren't for his powerful mental strength and iron body skills, Shen Bailian would probably have collapsed long ago.

Because in the wilderness, daytime is not the most dangerous time; the most dangerous time is nighttime, so you have to be in a state of constant tension.

If you can't eat well, you can only drink first-level basic nutritional supplements.

I can't sleep well; I can only sleep in a half-awake state, constantly on guard against attacks from ferocious beasts.

Shen Bailian came to the temporary base for the second time in order to obtain the required 3,000 military merits as soon as possible; the first time was when he first arrived.

Relying on the military merits bestowed upon them by Duan Wuyai, they replenished some essential supplies and then set off into the wilderness.

Eight days, 2612 military merits. This would be nothing special for a seasoned martial artist at the Life Establishment Realm, but Shen Bailian is just a lowly martial arts apprentice.

A level 10 ferocious beast that has entered the first tier is worth 50 military merit points. In other words, Shen Bailian has killed 52 ferocious beasts that have just entered the first tier. That's terrifying.

Shen Bailian tilted her head back, closed her eyes, and quietly enjoyed the rare tranquility that had lasted for several days.

He let the hot water wash over his body; the water carried away not only the grime but also the fatigue of the past few days.

“It’s so comfortable~”

There's no unpleasant, strong smell of blood, no need to worry about attacks from ferocious beasts, and you can even take a hot bath.

This is the simplest form of happiness.

Shen Bailian turned down the water flow a little, his eyes flickering like pebbles thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.

Now that a new trial has come to a complete end, it's time to take stock of what we've gained from this trip.

Suddenly, a panel that was both illusory and clear appeared before my eyes, like an ink wash painting.

Character Level: LV6 (998/1300)

Physical Strength: 7.4; Spirit: 4.4

[Divine Skill: Shadow Follows LV1 (0/1) (Energy Storage: 1 time)]

[Active Skill: Running LV4 (781/800)]

Tian Gang Qi LV1 (301/400)

Basic Knife Skills LV3 (54/700)

Passive Skill: Iron Body LV3 (203/1000)

【Cure point: 0】

[Divine Matter: 83]

Compared to before departure.

The running skill gained nearly 350 experience points, equivalent to running 350 kilometers. It's not a lot, but it's not a little either. After all, in the wilderness, the most important thing is to conserve energy.

The Heavenly Qi skill increased by 130 experience points, which is slower than when practicing alone.

The Iron Body skill gained nearly 200 experience points. The reason for such a high increase was that when surrounded by enemies, it was inevitable to suffer some setbacks, and in addition, a short rest required a quick recovery.

Therefore, it can perform its function almost continuously, and the speed at which it gains experience points is double that of normal training.

Of course, the biggest gain this time was the new understanding brought about by the upgrade of basic sword techniques—the breath of the sword.

It was an extraordinary state. After Shen Bailian entered it, his energy and spirit would surge violently, and his almost tangible spirit could briefly sense the breath of the sword.

At that time, the Dragon Slayer will be able to unleash cutting power and penetrability far exceeding normal levels, while also reducing damage to the blade.

With a speed of up to 30m/s, Shen Bailian was confident that he could even crack open the skull of a tiny tank, giving him the ability to fight against first-tier ferocious beasts at this stage.

After all, even ordinary first-tier ferocious beasts would find it difficult to inflict effective damage on a level 9.9 bronze-armored demon wolf.

However, this state has considerable limitations.

First, it requires extremely high mental strength and physical fitness. Shen Bailian also forced his way in by relying on the warm current brought about by the skill upgrade.

Secondly, like the Heavenly Qi, there is a period of weakness after the eruption.

but.

Neither the Heavenly Qi nor the Blade Breathing can deal fixed damage. The higher Shen Bailian's base attributes are, the higher the damage he can unleash.

Although the durations are relatively short, they are sufficient for the current stage.

Furthermore, the period of weakness will decrease or even disappear as Shen Bailian's physical fitness and mental strength improve.

dong dong!

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, followed by Duan Wuyai's voice: "Xiao Shen, have you rested enough? It's time to go back to Bozhou City."

It's not that the room design is bad.

Rather, it's so that in the event of an accident, those who are resting can hear the sounds from the outside world and react quickly.

"Still taking a shower."

"Okay, I'll wait for you on the tarmac."

Shen Bailian heard Duan Wuyai's footsteps gradually fading away, then rinsed off the foam on her body, immediately turned off the tap, and dried her body and hair.

A few minutes passed.

Shen Bailian changed into the clothes that had already been washed. Standing in front of the mirror, he instantly transformed from the destitute beggar of yesterday into a tall, handsome, and dashing young man.

His face was sharply defined, with muscular muscles that resembled granite. He was nearly 1.9 meters tall, with his head held high, body upright, and spine straight, giving him an imposing presence.

His eyes were sharp as knives, deep and bright. The killing intent accumulated from killing hundreds of ferocious beasts over eight days was concentrated in his eyes, making people tremble with fear.

On the aircraft, Shen Bailian and Duan Wuyai sat side by side.

How have you been feeling these past few days?

Duan Wuyai looked at the young man with a satisfied smile on his face.

Even he had no idea that Shen Bailian could accumulate three thousand military merits in just eight days.

Although there is a compensation of 400 military merits, given Shen Bailian's speed, it will only take him two days at most to reach his goal.

Duan Wuyai had previously anticipated that the journey would take at least 15 days.

"Very good." Shen Bailian was also very pleased. This trial had been very rewarding for him. He turned to Duan Wuyai and asked with some trepidation, "What about the Sun-level Dragon Gate Seed?"

Twelve years of diligent study, tireless practice day and night, participation in numerous trials, and courageous entry into the second-level buffer zone.

It was all for that precious Sun-class Dragon Gate Seed, and all to be far ahead of others at this new starting point.

"No problem." Duan Wuyai patted the boy on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You have met all the conditions and the data has been uploaded. It just needs to go through the process. The results should be available by the end of July."

"But you need to raise your physical fitness to level 7.5 before August 15th, which is before the start of the semester at Wuhan University of Science and Technology. Are you confident?"

"Have!"

Shen Bailian answered with a strong voice. "Isn't it just level 7.5?" His physical attributes had already reached level 7.4, and after the last transformation, his physical potential had been further enhanced.

Improving physical fitness by 0.1 levels per month is more than enough.

Moreover, Shen Bailian's character level experience points have already reached 998 points, and he only needs 302 points to level up.

So let alone level 7.5, level 8.5 is not impossible.

As for whether Duan Wuyai and Kong Chaowu would suspect anything, Shen Bailian had already come to terms with it.

Every year in the Great Xia Dynasty, there are two to three hundred geniuses who obtain the Sun-level Dragon Gate Seed. One more or one less makes no difference.

Even geniuses who reached a physical fitness level of 9.0 during their martial arts apprenticeship stage are not unheard of.

"Should I take you directly to your home or somewhere else?"

"Take me to the inner city first, I need to go find someone."

“Okay.” Duan Wuyai continued, “Study hard for the next period of time and prepare for the martial arts college entrance examination on the 15th. Your application for early college entrance examination registration is being processed, and you should be able to print your admission ticket tomorrow.”

"Thank you, Teacher Duan."

More than an hour later, outside the upscale residential area where Xiao Yan lived.

"Hello." Shen Bailian walked up to the security guard at the door. With a slight thought, a heavy package appeared in his hand with a flash of silver light.

"Hello, sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

Upon seeing the boy's actions, the security guard immediately responded respectfully.

That's a storage ring. Only the rich and powerful or martial artists can use it. No matter which one, it's not something a lowly security guard like him can afford to neglect.

"Please deliver this package to Xiao Yan, a resident of xxx."

“Okay.” The security guard quickly and carefully took the package, placed it on the security check device for inspection, and explained, “Sir, this is a necessary inspection procedure for foreign items entering the community. Please understand.”

"Thank you"

Shen Bailian nodded noncommittally, then took out a hundred-yuan Daxia coin from his wallet, handed it to the security guard, and turned to leave.

If you want a stranger to do something for you, there must be something in return.

"That person seems somewhat familiar."

The security guard grinned, put the hundred-yuan bill in his pocket, and watched the boy's departing figure. He felt that the boy was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

Shen Bailian opened Starlink and then edited a message to send to Xiao Yan.

The package certainly didn't contain three horse-slaying swords; instead, it contained some resources necessary for cultivation, mainly first-tier basic nutritional potions, along with a small amount of marrow-cleansing fluid and ointment.
returning a Favour many times more.

The Dragon Slayer played an extremely important role in all the battles. If Shen Bailian had just bought any weapon, he would have suffered countless losses in battles.

After the funds arrived, Shen Bailian thought about repaying Xiao Yan's kindness in giving him the Dragon Slayer sword, but because he needed to prepare for battle, he put this idea aside for the time being.

Now that the trial is completely over and we have plenty of time, we might as well resolve this matter first.

"Going home to rest now seems like a waste of time."

Shen Bailian glanced at the time and found it was still early, only a little past nine o'clock. He then edited a message and sent it to the "We Are a Loving Family" group.

"I train at the Xingyi Martial Arts School for a few hours, and then go home to review at noon."

Thinking of this, Shen Bailian started running towards the Xingyi Martial Arts School.

As for the college entrance examination, Duan Wuyai said that as long as he reaches the passing grade, that's fine. As a top student, although he hasn't studied for more than a month, it's not a big deal.

With a few days of serious review, getting 600 or 700 points is no problem at all.

About half an hour later, Shen Bailian slowly stopped in front of the Xingyi Martial Arts Hall.

Congratulations! Your running skill has improved; experience points +21.

Congratulations! Your character level has increased, experience points +21.

Congratulations! Your running skill has been upgraded!

Congratulations! Your physical attribute has been improved!

Physical Strength: 7.5; Spirit: 4.4

Character Level: LV6 (1019/1300)

[Running LV5 (2/1000)]

"Isn't this a piece of cake?"

Looking at the physique attribute on the panel, Shen Bailian couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.

He easily reached a physical fitness level of 7.5, and by August, his physical attributes would reach a terrifying 8.5, making him a top genius.

Shen Bailian walked into the martial arts hall, his ears filled with shouts of encouragement like "Hey! Hah! Hoo! Ha!" The number of students had tripled since he first arrived.

There were many students coming and going around, but no one recognized Shen Bailian yet.

That's how current events are. More than half a month has passed since the martial arts competition, and with the gossip stories being cut, Shen Bailian still hasn't shown up.

Public interest gradually waned.

"Hmm? This is a bit troublesome."

Shen Bailian looked at the front desk and frowned slightly. It turned out that the person on duty today was not Li Mengyi, but a girl he didn't know. It seemed that it would be difficult to open a private training room today.

However, just as he was about to contact Li Mengyi, a light and melodious voice rang in his ears.

"Senior Brother Shen." The girl, who had just finished her work, looked up and saw Shen Bailian. A smile immediately appeared on her face, and she ran over to him. Her eyes sparkled with admiration as she spoke:
"Same as usual today, shall I give you a private training room?"

"Forehead."

Shen Bailian paused for a moment, then looked at the girl's adoring gaze and nodded hesitantly, "Yes, the old room is still the best."

"No problem, I'll grab the keys. Senior Brother Shen, please come with me."

The girl's face beamed with joy as she jogged back to the front desk, bent down to select a few keys, picked up a set of keys, and then headed upstairs.

Shen Bailian quickly followed.

He found it a little strange that the girl knew he wanted to open a private training room.

But upon closer reflection, given that Li Mengyi had already opened the cultivation room alone so many times, it was not surprising that the other reception staff would find out.

"Then, Senior Brother Shen, I'll be going now. If you need anything, I'm at the front desk, so feel free to call me anytime."

The girl was like a little fangirl, full of enthusiasm.

"Thank you." Shen Bailian pushed open the door and walked in, asking as she went, "Do you know why Li Mengyi didn't come to work today?"

"Li Mengyi?"

"Yes, don't you recognize him?"

A ripple of emotion stirred within Shen Bailian, and he turned to look at the girl.

"do not know."
