Hunting God Era

Chapter 42 Will my head become pointy?
Although Gu Yang couldn't teach the path to breaking through the barriers, he provided thorough guidance to ordinary martial arts students.

Jia Donglian's "Ape Strike Technique" emphasizes striking vital points with swift attacks and versatile movement. The martial arts he learned from the martial arts school are of a higher intensity than those he learned at school, after all, he paid for them.

However, he is indeed somewhat weak physically, so it is the right thing to do to have him supplement his training with a physical conditioning method.

Deng Hao's "Hammer Breaking the City Skill" is heavy but cumbersome, with little to no lightness skill; at most, he can jump a little higher.

After giving him guidance, Gu Yang told him to learn a lightness skill. Once he had mastered it, he could learn another martial art that emphasized perception and reaction, depending on the situation.

In one morning, Li Ye saw him instructing the martial arts students, helping those with weaknesses to improve their skills and those without weaknesses to enhance their qi and blood.

Throughout the entire martial arts program, including the foundation-building exercises, each student possesses at least three martial arts skills. Li Ye watched them constantly practicing their techniques and sought ways to improve their qi and blood and increase their strength.

After all, no matter what kind of martial art it is, practicing day and night will definitely improve one's qi and blood, and for them, qi and blood is strength.

"Are you just going to watch? Aren't you going to practice?"

After finishing her training and taking a break, Yao Ledan asked curiously, "Are people who break through the level very lazy? I see Fei Peng is working very hard too."

Li Ye smiled and said, "While the strength gained through sweat is good, my method is even more valuable."

To be honest, Li Ye admired this kind of hard work that comes from sweat. At one time, he also wanted to be a tough guy who became stronger by putting in hard work.

Nowadays, people rely on power to become stronger, and the tough guys are probably gone.

He's a diamond-hard man.

"Ring ring ring——"

When the bell rang, Gu Yang clapped his hands to signal everyone to stop.

Yao Ledan said, "Let's go, it's time to eat."

Like the preparatory course, lunch at the martial arts course is also provided by the cafeteria, which is located in a large hall connected to the back of the venue.

As the group walked toward the cafeteria, Deng Hao asked with a grin, "Sister Le, is the martial arts cafeteria a bit better than the preparatory school cafeteria?"

Yao Ledan proudly said, "In terms of quality, it is indeed much better than the last. The materials prepared for the preparatory course are all scraps."

"In terms of quality?" Li Ye felt that Yao Ledan was speaking through gritted teeth.

You'll know once you try it.

Yao Ledan sighed slightly and they entered the cafeteria hall together.

Then, Li Ye understood why Yao Ledan was gritting her teeth.

The food at the martial arts school cafeteria isn't like the preparatory school cafeteria, where they can cook dishes. Although it's also buffet style, the selection is...
The food on the counter included rice, meat, vegetables, and fruits. Everything that needed to be cooked was cooked, and everything that needed to be washed was washed. There was also a condiment station next to it, which was covered with some strange powders.

Meanwhile, the martial arts students skillfully selected some ingredients, put them all into a blender, added some strange powder and oil, mixed them with water to make a paste, and forced themselves to drink it with pained expressions.

"What is this?" Jia Dong was dumbfounded.

“They are all good things.”

Yao Ledan picked up a few peeled eggs and said, "Look at this, it's a Tieyujin egg. It promotes repair, aids development, supplements nutrition, enhances immunity, and strengthens internal organs. It has nine benefits in total. It's a top-quality ingredient that you can't buy anywhere else."

As she spoke, she snatched the large mixing cup from Jia Dong's hand, "You didn't call me Sister Le for nothing, Sister Le will choose for you."

She tossed a few eggs into the blender, "for energy."

I found a few more pieces of meat that I didn't know what kind of meat they were, some red and some white, but they were as hard as iron when I picked them up, and they made a crunching sound when I dropped them into the blender.

"Strengthen physical fitness."

"Digestion and absorption".

"Strength boost".

"Body repair".

"Endurance lasts."

"Refreshing and invigorating."

Eggs, meat, vegetables, fruit, and a lump of rice were added. Yao Ledan also added a few spoonfuls of strange powder, which didn't look like a seasoning. Finally, she scooped out a spoonful of oil, added water, pressed a button, and stirred it into a paste with a buzzing sound. She then handed it to Jia Dong.

She gave a thumbs up, "I named it Nine-Turn Thunderbolt Paste. After drinking it, your energy will increase dramatically, keeping you energized all afternoon. It guarantees you won't feel tired while practicing martial arts. It's truly the perfect method for strengthening your body, practicing martial arts, and even killing and robbing!"

"Are you saying it was murder and robbery?"

Jia Dong's expression froze. He subconsciously took the mixing cup, and as soon as he got close, he almost vomited.

"What's this?!"

"The only good thing I promised you for martial arts training is that it tastes awful!"

Yao Ledan looked miserable. "It tastes absolutely awful!"

Deng Hao curiously leaned over to take a sniff, then immediately stepped back two meters, exclaiming in shock, "Wait, where's the chef? Even pre-made food would have been better! Is this even edible?"

He thought the iron-clad pork was bad enough, but he didn't expect there to be a master here.

The food in the pre-college cafeteria is just bad, but sometimes there are unexpected surprises that make it palatable.

Is this thing really something a human should touch?

"You think eating at a restaurant is a good idea? Let me tell you, the reason why ingredients are expensive outside is simple: high-quality ingredients that are easy to cook and taste good are hard to find!"

Yao Ledan rolled her eyes. "There aren't that many dishes that are both effective and easy to cook. If someone could do that, why would they be a chef at a high school? They would have been hired long ago. It's normal to prioritize effectiveness over taste. The secret to becoming stronger is powerful—first, eliminate your sense of taste!"

"Aside from being awful, this stuff is incredibly effective. If you eat it day after day, year after year, you'll definitely see results."

"Then I definitely want to die."

Deng Hao interrupted Yao Ledan, and, disbelieving, picked up an egg from the food counter and stuffed it into his mouth.

Boom!

A sound of teeth biting into something hard rang out, forcing Deng Hao to spit the egg into his mixing cup. The egg white shattered like glass, revealing the solidified yolk inside, which had no softness at all.

"It tastes so bad!"

Not only was the bite problematic, but the taste was so bad that Deng Hao opened his mouth wide, stuck out his tongue, and kept inhaling, exclaiming, "It tastes like a super-strength version of Tiger Balm!"

Yao Ledan said, "Don't try any tricks. Making it a complete mess is the best approach. This is the result of many years of experience."

Looking at the large three-liter cup in his hand, Deng Hao asked suspiciously, "Won't my head become pointy after eating this?"

"Who knows?" Yao Ledan shrugged. "Anyway, it's a good thing. Look at Li Ye, he's already made his move."

While Yao Ledan was speaking, Li Ye reached for the food and, following her instructions, sprinkled rice, eggs, meat, vegetables, and the strange powder into the mixture, added oil and water, sat down, and started stirring.

After stirring it into a paste, he simply took a sniff and was immediately struck by a strange odor that cleared his head. It smelled like horseradish and mustard mixed with menthol oil, with a hint of damp earth giving off an earthy smell, a stink bug-like odor, and the stench of two cigarette butts mixed in.

It's just weird.

so.
Get the magic weapon!
Li Ye took out the five-flavor chopsticks he always carried, stuck them in the mixing cup, and poured them into his mouth as if drinking porridge.

This time the taste was just right, like drinking fresh porridge. He swallowed it all up with a surge of emotion.

Yao Ledan had only drunk a third of the wine when she saw Li Ye finish it. She instinctively stopped and exclaimed, "A brave warrior!"

After saying that, she shook her head in regret, looking at the mushy paste and unable to bring herself to eat it.

She's not new here, but every time she eats in the cafeteria, she has to mentally prepare herself, ideally finishing her drink in one go. Now that she's stopped, she has to mentally prepare herself all over again.

As for Deng Hao and Jia Dong, after taking a big gulp, they leaned their heads against the large cups, feeling as if they were about to lose their souls.

"Brother Ye, how did you manage to drink that? Did you think you could fool yourself with chopsticks?" Deng Hao said weakly.

"Just focus on getting stronger. I'll go get another drink."

Li Ye picked up the empty cup, got up, and walked towards the food counter.

After drinking that cup, along with the effects of the five-flavor chopsticks, he gained 1 point.

It definitely improves qi and blood much more than the preparatory school cafeteria.

But what surprised Li Ye was the nutrient solution!
Without the help of the five flavor chopsticks, one stick gave him 5 points!

During the summer vacation, he ate expensive ingredients supplied by Pan Zhengyang for free. A meal cost only sixty or seventy yuan and he even used five kinds of chopsticks.

So, if you calculate it that way, four vials of nutritional supplements are worth 100,000 yuan?
"Is it because of the dragon's blood?" Li Ye wondered to himself.

His authority allows him to absorb everything perfectly; even the faintest dragon blood is still dragon blood. While it might only have a minor effect on others, it's a huge benefit to him.

While pondering, Li Ye selected ingredients, continued stirring, and then drank it down without any hindrance, as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss, unable to withstand the slightest ripple.

Deng Hao finally finished his painful drink, and seeing Li Ye stirring the cup into a paste and drinking it down, he couldn't help but gasp in astonishment:

"Brother Ye, you've eaten even more over the summer!"

Yao Ledan asked in surprise, "A life of luxury? You need to eat to practice your martial arts?"

"You know a lot."

Li Ye's lips curled up, and he readily admitted it.

He was indeed practicing the art of eating extravagantly, and this was a perfect excuse for him to eat more.

Then he ate a little more.

The students had already stopped and were supposed to leave, but they all sat there motionless, watching in astonishment as Li Ye busily selected ingredients, stirred them into a paste, and then quickly drank it down.

The food on the food stand was visibly decreasing, which made them increasingly surprised.

Why can you eat so much?!

Even if someone practices the Vajra Pass martial arts, they still eat way too much!
They glanced at Li Ye, then looked at Yang Jie.

The towering, muscular man, his face flushed, stubbornly ran to the food counter to get ingredients.

He couldn't beat him in a fight, nor did he have the same imposing presence. It would be easy for Xiang Feipeng to hit him, just as it would be easy for Li Ye to smash into Feipeng.

But when it comes to food, he never admits defeat.

Then, after downing six cups at most, Yang Jie clutched his lower back and stomach and slumped into a chair.

He was at his limit.

Li Ye stopped eating after fifty cups, not because he stopped eating, but because there was no more food on the table.

"Could the school prepare more?"

With an excuse, he ate to his heart's content.

The answer is: a life of luxury and extravagance!
“You can go ask them,” Yao Ledan said blankly.

She knew that those who practiced the Vajra Gate had a big appetite, and she also knew that there were always some who could eat even more, and there was even a saying that martial artists could eat like royalty.

But isn't that eating too much?
Li Ye nodded, feeling the 50 points of Qi and Blood he had just received, and smiled.

The portions were small, but the quantity was plentiful. Now that I'm a martial artist, I can finally eat as much as I want.

Moreover, he identified a faster path to breakthrough.
At the current pace, he needs 6000 points of Qi and Blood to break through using pure martial arts.

Putting money aside, the sheer quantity of food they're trying to eat all at once will definitely attract attention.

He didn't just eat it once; he made nine leaps over the Dragon Gate, and his demand kept increasing.

Unless he follows the proper steps and takes his time, he definitely won't be able to get into a top martial arts university in a year.

Before his death, his master instructed him to reach the pinnacle of martial arts, and for that reason, he told him to practice the foundation-building skills first if he really couldn't manage it.

Although we are content at home now, why not make it better if it can be better?

Li Ye could pay off the 200,000 yuan debt in two years with his own income, but he couldn't let his parents live in that old neighborhood forever. Even if they were willing, Li Ye would need good resources if he wanted to reach higher levels of martial arts and see more of the world.

Top-tier is definitely the best.

Unless you kill another god and gain new authority, you should find a way to make things easier if you want to break through.

Li Ye had been thinking about this before school started, but now it seems like it can be resolved.

A nutrient supplement containing dragon's blood!

One nutrient solution provides 5 points, and when combined with Five Flavors Chopsticks, it can provide him with 15 points of Qi and Blood.

The nutrient solution is about the size of a palm, like a test tube. Hundreds of these tubes would probably only fill about ten bottles the size of mineral water.

With so little water, it wouldn't attract any attention at all.

He can earn these things through training, and with the help of eating in the canteen every day, it won't take him that long to enter the Four Dragon Gate.

"If we go on a training expedition, how do we exchange the nutrient solutions?" Li Ye asked.

"You need nutritional supplements?"

Yao Ledan asked curiously, "That stuff isn't good, it can't compare to high-end ingredients. But it's not available on the market, only the school has a quota for it. If you want to exchange it, one demon can get you one."

Li Ye nodded. It would be best if that training point could really refresh regularly!
