Chapter 6
Five days later in the Martial arts cla.s.sroom!
“This brat is giving me increasingly greater surprises.” Big Sister Saber crossed her arms over her chest and focused her attention on Chu Zhou, who was using both Curved Hand Blade and Sharp Blade Kick.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Chu Zhou’s hands were like short knives creating sharp arcs while his legs were like longer knives constantly cutting through the air creating many knife cuts on the floor.
At the moment, Chu Zhou was like a humanoid monster covered in blades.
His hands and his legs were knives, flying everywhere.
It gave off a strong sense of tartness and danger.
Sister Dao’s expression was always cold. However, at this moment, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a smile. She was obviously very satisfied with Chu Zhou’s performance.
“In just five days, he cultivated the Sharp Blade Kick to the limit of the Proficient Realm and perfectly combined it with the Curved Hand Blade… Such comprehension is enough to be called a genius even in Guanghai Base City, let alone in the satellite city of Jiang City.”
“It’s a pity that his physical talent is a little lacking. Even though he has also become an Advanced Apprentice, his Life Field Energy is only 3.5. He is still far inferior when compared to those little monsters in Guanghai Base City who have reached 4.5 or even 5.”
Chu Zhou’s comprehension ability gave Big Sister Saber quite a surprise. However, she could also tell that Chu Zhou’s physical talent was only average.
“Nonetheless it’s enough to deal with Jin Zhennan!” With that thought in mind, she walked up to Chu Zhou and clapped her hands. “Chu Zhou, let’s spar!”
After saying that, she immediately flew up and kicked at Chu Zhou. It was like a sharp blade that cut through the void, fierce and sharp.
“Okay!” Chu Zhou’s eyes lit up. He immediately counterattacked with his Curved Hand Blade and Sharp Blade Kick.
He already knew that Sister Saber had broken through the limits of the human body and unlocked her genetics. She was a true martial artist. To be able to fight with a true martial artist was an extremely rare opportunity for an apprentice. Of course, Big Sister Saber was holding back. Otherwise, she would have killed him instantly!
Bang bang bang…
The two figures fought fiercely in the cla.s.sroom.
Chu Zhou’s hands and feet were like knives, slashing with sharp arcs. Big Sister Saber’s feet also became incomparably sharp blades.
At this moment, it was as if countless knives were slashing at each other.
Booms and slashes resounded throughout the entire martial arts cla.s.sroom, along with surging air currents.
A moment later, the battle ended.
“You’re doing well. With your current strength, it shouldn’t be difficult for you to defeat Jin Zhennan even if he has cultivated C-rank combat techniques.” Sister Saber commented as she glanced at Chu Zhou. A trace of hope appeared in her cold eyes.
“There are still 25 days until the elite trial organized by the top 10 high schools… You can continue to cultivate the Curved Hand Blade and the Sharp Blade Kick. If you can cultivate any of these combat techniques to the Mastery Realm, you might have a chance to enter the top ten in the elite trial.”
“The Elite Trial is the biggest compet.i.tion for the third-year students in Jiang City before graduation. Not only will it attract the attention of all walks of life in Jiang City, it will also attract the attention of the First Military University of Guangdong City and other Martial Arts Universities…”
“If you can enter the top ten of the elite trial, you will have many more benefits. You might even be specially recruited by the First Military University and may even be nurtured.”
Chu Zhou was enticed.
There were a total of six martial arts universities in Guangdong City. The best were the First Military University and the Second Military University.
However, the admission standards of these two universities were very high. It was not enough to just reach the Advanced Apprentice level. They also required tests on one’s physical talent, actual combat strength, spiritual will, mental fort.i.tude, and so on.
Moreover, these two universities did not offer guaranteed spots.
There were only two ways to enter these two military universities: Either pa.s.s the high standards set by these two universities or be specially recruited by them!
When Big Sister Saber saw Chu Zhou’s fascinated expression, she immediately understood what he was thinking.
Thinking about the difficulty of achieving the Mastery Realm, she could not help but add on. “It’s too difficult to cultivate the Curved Hand Blade and Sharp Blade Kick to the Mastery Realm. Even many true martial artists have yet to attain Mastery Realm on combat techniques… Don’t feel too pressured. The most important thing is that you work hard, regardless of success or failure.”
With that, Big Sister Saber turned around and left the martial arts cla.s.sroom, leaving Chu Zhou to continue cultivating.
Chu Zhou stared at Big Sister Saber’s back until she disappeared. Then, he opened the Attribute Board.
Name: Chu Zhou (Advanced Apprentice, Life Field 3.6 (+0.1))
Attribute points: 4.25 (+2.25)
Basic Breathing Technique (D-rank): Level Three (Not Enough Attribute Points to upgrade)
Curved Hand Blade (D-Cla.s.s): Level 3 – Mastery Realm (Enough Attribute Points to upgrade)
Sharp Blade Kick (Grade D): Level 2 – Proficient Realm (Enough Attribute Points to upgrade)
For the past five days, he had been eating three “feasts” everyday, gaining 0.45 attribute points a day. Therefore, he had gained a total of 2.25 attribute points in total.
He relied on the experience of the Mastery Realm Curved Hand Blade and did not consume any attribute points when upgrading the Sharp Blade Kick.
Therefore, he had a total of 4.25 attribute points.
What surprised Chu Zhou even more was that his Life Field Energy, which had not moved for a long time, had also increased by 0.1.
0.1 might not be a lot but it was a good sign.
“Top 10 in the Elite Trial? No, I want to be in the top three in the Elite Trial, or even the first in the Elite Trial!”
Chu Zhou looked at the Attribute Board and immediately chose to upgrade the Curved Hand Blade.
The translucent Attribute Board immediately flickered and became blurry.
A moment later, it became readable again.
Name: Chu Zhou (Advanced Apprentice, Life Field 3.6)
Attribute Points: 0.25
Basic Breathing Technique (D-rank): Level Three (Not Enough Attribute Points to upgrade)
Curved Hand Knife (D-Cla.s.s): Level 4 – Perfection Realm (Not enough Attribute Points to upgrade)
Sharp Blade Kick (Grade D): Level 2 – Proficient Realm (Not enough Attribute Points to upgrade)
After consuming 4 attribute points, his Curved Hand Blade had successfully advanced to Perfection Realm!
At the same time, a large number of memories and scenes of practicing the Curved Hand Blade surged into Chu Zhou’s mind.
In his memory, he had cultivated the Curved Hand Blade in a stone forest for a long time before his Curved Hand Blade suddenly broke through to a whole new level.
His hand was like an incomparably sharp divine knife, cutting off stalagmites one by one with ease as he waved it casually.
“Is this Perfection Realm Curved Hand Blade?” Chu Zhou raised his hand and studied it. With a thought, a large amount of Life Field Energy and Blood Energy gathered on the edge of his palm, showing a faint sharp red color, like a b.l.o.o.d.y knife.
He waved his hand and struck out with his palm. A blood-colored saber beam seemed to flash in the void.
The air was sliced open like b.u.t.ter with a very weak ‘Pop’.
“Not only can my knife cut through rocks, it can probably also cut through ordinary steel!” Chu Zhou muttered to himself. His heart was filled with confidence.
At this moment, he was filled with antic.i.p.ation for the elite trial in 25 days.
It was Friday though, he could leave school and go home in the afternoon for the weekend.
Jiang City, Elite District.
Jin Jingmao, the Academic Director, received three people in a private room of an inn.
“This is a picture of the man you will be dealing with! This is the street and alley he uses on his way home. He’ll be on vacation tonight and definitely go home. I want you to cripple him on his way home!” Jin Jingmao’s tone was cold and murderous.
“Just him cripple? What a simple task!” said someone.
“Where’s the money?” Another person asked.
“This is 100,000 Alliance Dollars! After this is done, I’ll give you another 100,000!” Jin Jingmao pushed a stack of cash wrapped in newspapers to the three of them.
“Wait for our good news then!” The three of them took the money and left immediately.
