Chapter 146 Martial Artist

Two days had passed since the freshman competition, and it was still a hot topic. The temporary teams formed by the participating departments had disbanded, and the lives of the freshmen returned to normal.

With the end of the competition, most of the participating freshmen also ended their special training and returned to their normal state.

A department's instructor resources were limited and only temporarily allocated to the participating freshmen. Those who truly enjoyed long-term special training were the core old students of the department.

Zhou Jing was accepted due to his excellent performance and officially became a member of the Crown Society, allowing him to enjoy the department's subsequent key cultivation.

This type of core group followed an elite route. The Crown Society had fewer than thirty people, covering all four years of students. Currently, there were only two freshmen, and Zhou Jing was one of them.

Deng Yunjie, as the current president, gathered all members to hold a welcome ceremony for the two newcomers.

Zhou Jing also got to know the current members of the Crown Society. Apart from himself, everyone else was an S-grade.

None of them had 2S-grade potential, which gave him a new understanding of the scarcity of Li Xiaoyin's ability.

Zhou Jing had already been certified as an A-grade potential, and his file had been updated.

Although he was not S-grade, the Crown Society members had seen his performance on the field and knew that Zhou Jing was a special case. Naturally, they would not make things difficult for him and had no objections to his joining. The joining ceremony went smoothly without any waves.

In addition, the observing organizations from the freshman competition finally made a move.

Zhou Jing soon received two employment reservations, one from the Superpower Bureau and one from the Exploration Bureau, which made him overjoyed.

He considered it for a day and discussed it with his friends before finally deciding to accept the Exploration Bureau's employment reservation, entering the Exploration Bureau after graduation, directly determining his future career path.

After thinking it over, Zhou Jing felt that this job was the most suitable for his Star Realm Shuttle ability. Taking this as his career, the future would be even broader.

Compared to other occupations, this was much inferior and could basically be disregarded.

Moreover, this profession itself was very relaxed and free. Explorers did not need to be on duty at all times, so they had a lot of free time to do other things. Even when performing tasks, they had a lot of autonomy.

If one ignored the lifespan and risk issues, it was indeed an ideal profession.

Most importantly, only by accepting the Exploration Bureau's employment reservation could he attend their professional courses and access more confidential information, unlike the current Explorer科普 courses, which were superficial.

The things that could be learned in professional courses included, but were not limited to, the strategic plans of various national Exploration Bureaus in a plane, the location of strongholds, the distribution of manpower, etc., or the culture, customs, language, history, and social pattern changes of various known Star Realms…

This information would greatly help his Star Realm Shuttle, and Zhou Jing did not want to miss it.

It was worth mentioning that in the past month, he had not only collected a lot of basic information about the Otherworld in the Explorer科普 courses but also obtained some information about the planes that were about to converge.

The other students only looked at the information about these two Star Realm planes as a novelty, but only he remembered these things firmly in his heart.

…

In the academy, every student had their own life, diligently completing their studies, working hard in cultivation and training, and striving for their future.

No one could be the center of attention forever, so as the days passed, the heat of the freshman competition gradually decreased, and the topic of everyone's chat was slowly replaced by other things.

New freshmen like Li Xiaoyin and Zhou Jing, who had become famous in the competition, had gradually settled down. When people saw them on the road, they would no longer overreact, at most taking a few glances.

Zhou Jing's days also returned to calm. He attended classes every day according to the schedule, never absent, and buried himself in extra training after class, busy and fulfilling.

During this period, there were some small-scale competitions and club activities in the academy, but he did not participate in any of them, not wanting to waste his energy, focusing all his energy on training.

Perhaps it was the catalyst of the fierce battle in the arena, Zhou Jing successfully entered the Martial Dao Qi Flame system a few days later, officially entering the first realm of the system.

The attribute panel of his main body therefore changed:

[Obtained extraordinary power system [Martial Artist]]

[Realm: First Realm - Foundation]

[Energy type: Martial Dao Qi Flame]

[Qi Flame characteristics: None (There are convertible items)]

[Core Cultivation Method: Basic Tempering Method lv1]

[Martial Dao School: None]

[Total bonus: Physical Fitness +1, Resistance +1, Energy +1]

"The official name of the Martial Dao Qi Flame system on the panel is Martial Artist."

Zhou Jing nodded to himself.

For more than a month, he had been cultivating the Basic Tempering Method, constantly strengthening the outer body and harmonizing the inner body. Finally, a qualitative change occurred, and the first trace of Martial Dao Qi Flame was produced in his body, which was a sign of entry.

The initial realm of the Martial Artist system was called Foundation. As the name suggested, this was the stage of laying the foundation for martial arts. The thicker the foundation, the better. It was necessary to further cultivate the Basic Tempering Method to enhance the physical body and Qi Flame intensity, and it was also necessary to formally cultivate a Martial Dao School.

There were many Martial Dao Schools in the main world, some of which could refine Martial Dao Qi Flames with different attributes. The fighting styles and techniques were unique, and they could be said to be the main source of Martial Artist combat skills.

In Zhou Jing's understanding, each Martial Dao School was like a skill tree, starting from learning the basic moves and eventually mastering the mysteries of the school.

According to the textbook, when the core cultivation method was cultivated to a certain level and a Martial Dao School was practiced to proficiency, one could choose to break through to the next stage of the Martial Artist.

Currently, he was just a beginner who had just entered the door. The various bonuses were still at the most basic level, just a blank slate. According to common sense, there was nothing special about it.

However, Zhou Jing discovered that his Qi Flame attributes seemed to be changeable.

"Could it be that it can be linked to the Alien Blood Warrior system?"

Zhou Jing's heart stirred, and he patiently tried for a while, and suddenly he had a feeling.

His eyes lit up with electric light, and a small ball of Qi Flame appeared in his hand.

*Zizi…*

The Qi Flame was light blue, flickering non-stop, like a ball of lightning burning in the form of flames.

At the same time, the "Qi Flame attribute" on the panel was transformed into "Electricity".

Zhou Jing's eyes lit up, and he tasted it carefully:

"So that's how it is. The extraordinary origins of Alien Blood Enhancement and Martial Artists are both the physical body. And the electricity obtained from Alien Blood Enhancement can be released in the form of Martial Dao Qi Flame, making the Qi Flame attribute temporarily change. The energy attributes I accumulated from Alien Blood Enhancement can also be added to the power of Martial Dao Qi Flame."

He could now release two forms of energy, one was pure lightning, and the other was electric Martial Dao Qi Flame.

The conversion rate of energy from different systems was uncertain. He felt that when electricity was converted into electric Qi Flame, the energy intensity only had a slight loss, the controllability was stronger, and the unique effects of Martial Dao Qi Flame appeared, such as increasing his own action intensity and so on.

Generally, Martial Artists who had just entered the door had thin Martial Dao Qi Flame, and it would be used up in one or two moves.

And he originally had more than twenty points of energy attributes. The energy conversion rate between the Alien Blood Warrior and the Martial Artist system was not low. Equivalent to entering the door, the intensity and concentration of his own Martial Dao Qi Flame was equivalent to the effect that others could achieve after practicing for a long time.

Zhou Jing was quite pleasantly surprised.

"The superpower system I chose for my main body is best to be a route that can be highly mutually converted, complementing each other. The improvement of one system can drive the other to increase accordingly, unifying the energy form, maximizing the attributes, and making the cultivation progress twice as effective."

It took more than a month to officially enter the Martial Artist system, which was the normal cultivation speed for ordinary people and not slow.

However, after enjoying the accelerated cultivation of the Star Realm Apostle, he naturally did not think that such efficiency was fast. However, the Star Realm Convergence that Shen Xinqin mentioned had not yet arrived, so he could only practice with his main body first and explore the mysteries.

After entering the door, according to the academy's regulations, he could already learn the next stage of Martial Dao courses and officially choose a Martial Dao School.

So, when he went to class the next day, Zhou Jing directly found Wang Wu and asked to study.

Some students had already entered the door before, so Zhou Jing was not the first one. Wang Wu was used to it and took him to the side to impart further courses.

Wang Wu squeezed Zhou Jing's shoulders and arms, nodded, and explained:

"You can officially practice Martial Dao Schools now. Martial Dao Schools are diverse. According to the difficulty of cultivation, complexity, and power level, they are divided into several levels. The most basic one is the Basic School.

Normal people can't reach the sky in one step. They have to start from the Basic School and slowly become a High-level School, just like you have completed elementary school courses before you can learn middle school knowledge.

The academy has selected five of the most representative and relatively best comprehensive Basic Schools from the myriad of Basic Martial Dao Schools. The styles are different, but they can all eventually achieve the effect of breaking through to the next stage of the Martial Artist. As long as you practice one of them, you can advance to the next stage of the Martial Artist. If you want to lay a more solid foundation, you can practice several Basic Schools. Most people will practice at least two.

The Martial Dao courses arranged by the academy emphasize gradual progress. Only after you have practiced one will they teach you another to avoid distracting you. So, you can only choose one Basic School now. I believe you have read the course introduction and know which five Basic Schools there are, right?"

Zhou Jing nodded: "Yes, I have read the information. Do you have any suggestions?"

Hearing this, Wang Wu thought for a while and said:

"I have seen your performance in the competition. You are known for your speed and have precise and concise close combat skills. I suggest you choose the Gale School, which also takes into account speed and skills. The main weapon is also swords, which is the easiest for you to get started with."

"Then I'll choose it."

Zhou Jing agreed, which coincided with his choice.

Wang Wu did not delay and asked the assistant to bring a training knife, explaining the key points of the Gale School while practicing, teaching by hand.

The Gale School included a set of footwork, a set of boxing techniques, a set of swordsmanship, and a secret technique, which was already a fairly simple school move combination.

These moves also have the effect of exercising the physical body and increasing the intensity of Qi Flame during the cultivation process. Only by continuously studying and researching can you master them freely and turn them into martial skills that use Martial Dao Qi Flame.

As for the core cultivation method that needs to be continuously cultivated, it is still the Basic Tempering Method, which is the culmination of the main world. There is no need to change it in this realm.

After watching it several times in a row, Zhou Jing learned a rough idea. The rest was to practice on his own following the video and constantly improve his proficiency.

With new cultivation projects, Zhou Jing's spare time became even busier, spending a lot of time in the department hall of the Crown, following the Martial Dao instructors of the department for small lessons.

…

So, a few days passed in an orderly manner.

On an ordinary night, Zhou Jing had just finished dinner and was about to go to the hall for extra training when the Star Realm Shuttle panel suddenly moved.

There was still a month and a half before the Star Realm convergence period measured by the Exploration Bureau, but the panel popped up information that made him overjoyed:

[Detected Star Realm disturbance phenomenon, calibrating coordinates… Found a new Star Realm, detecting gravitational intensity and convergence status…]

[Detection completed, current status: [Deployable]]

[Creating Star Realm link port… Docking Star Realm time stream… Connection completed!]

[Star Realm plane file has been recorded - number of recorded planes: 2]

[Current connectable plane: [Unnamed] Number 002]
