Chapter 311 Discussion
rest area.

Ji Fuyou and the federal president exchanged almost no pleasantries and went straight to the point.

"I'm sure you've all seen and studied the introductions to Divine Strength and Vitality in the past few days. You know how valuable these things are without me having to tell you."

Ji Fuyou remained seated, not even touching the tea on the table: "So, Mr. President, what price do you think these methods are worth?"

"Priceless."

The president stated frankly, "These methods will perfectly fill the gap between the Grandmaster and Martial Saint levels, greatly increasing the chances of Grandmaster-level martial artists condensing life force and advancing to Martial Saint! If they can be promoted among all Grandmaster-level martial artists, the number of Martial Saints who have cultivated life force in the Federation will double within a few months."

"very good."

Ji Fuyou was not surprised that the president could see the value of these techniques.

The world is never short of smart people.

In particular, Tiandu City is home to the elite among the Federation's more than one billion people.

Even if some people are biased in their opinions, no one can deny the value of these methods.

"Then, for the Divine Strength Cultivation Method, I need 10 purple Body Source Crystals; for the Life Force Cultivation Method, I need 10 purple Body Source Crystals, 5 purple Spirit Source Crystals, and 5 golden Body Source Crystals."

He immediately offered a price.

He had a special chat with Gu Qing before the president and his entourage arrived.

According to Gu Qing's estimate, the total number of purple and gold source crystals accumulated by the nine speakers of the Federation is roughly this amount.

Considering that Gu Qing frequently uses his nominal authority to gather information and lurk in people's corners.

In addition, his extremely keen perception as a spiritual saint...

He didn't say he knew all the secrets of the highest hall in Tiandu City, but he definitely knew 90% of them.

The accuracy of the data he provided is definitely over 90%.

Even if these people have other source crystals hidden, it's probably only a few at most.

The president's expression changed slightly after hearing Ji Fuyou announce the number.

Before coming, he held an emergency meeting with the other eight speakers to tally each other's stored source crystals, and the final data they obtained...

"Martial Saint Ji, so many Source Crystals..."

“I know, you can take it out.”

Ji Fuyou calmly said, "In the Mist Era, anything can happen. Since the detection compass can accurately track a person's location just by their aura, do you think there's anything that can accurately determine how many high-grade source crystals are in a certain area?"

The president's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.

There was a hint of deep-seated loneliness hidden beneath the surface.

The Extraordinary Era...

Is their understanding really outdated?
However, this thought quickly passed through his mind, and he soon regained his composure.

In this exchange, he represented not only himself, but also the other speakers of the federal government.

He then said, "I don't doubt the value of Master Ji's techniques, however... we've already grasped the Divine Strength cultivation method. With our collective wisdom, it should take another month or two at most to fully comprehend the wonders of Divine Strength circulation, as well as the Life Force cultivation method..."

He carefully chose his words: "We do not deny the miraculous power of the life force cultivation method, but the ability to grasp life force varies from person to person, so... could you give us a discount, Martial Saint Ji?"

"Not urgent."

Ji Fuyou calmly said, "The reason you have this idea is that you haven't realized what effect the Life Force Cultivation Method has on martial artists. In addition, you even think that the Life Force Cultivation Method is only useful for masters to break through to Martial Saint, and does not help improve the strength of Martial Saints, right?"

Upon hearing this, the president and the several martial saints following behind Ji Fuyou were both taken aback.

"Does Martial Saint Ji mean... that the Life Force Cultivation Method also has an effect on increasing the strength of a Martial Saint?"

The president asked cautiously.

Ji Fuyou looked at Luo Siming: "As a newly promoted Martial Saint, I wonder what your life force conversion rate is?"

Life force conversion rate?

Luo Siming understood what Ji Fuyou meant.

This kind of secret shouldn't be revealed easily, but...

Intimidated by Ji Fuyou's reputation, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "I have been diligently cultivating the Heavenly Dragon Hand and the Shadow Hunter Blade. With these two techniques as my foundation, once I become a Martial Saint, I can convert 6% to 8% of my life force. After these past few months of accumulation, my life force conversion rate has reached as high as 9%. If I am given a breath to gather my strength before making a move, it can reach 10%."

"7% to 9%, that's pretty good. It's almost the normal peak that a Martial Saint can achieve."

Ji Fuyou commented.

Most martial arts manuals, after a long period of accumulation, can achieve a life force conversion rate of over 8%.

Of course, with some time to build up, it's possible to reach 10%.

But in a life-or-death battle, who will wait for you to gather all your strength?
This 10% naturally doesn't count.

but……

"10% is never the limit of vitality. I believe that some of you can temporarily increase your vitality conversion rate to 11%, 12%, or even higher by using some secret techniques or burst techniques. However, such burst techniques will inevitably bring you a great burden."

Ji Fuyou's voice echoed in the room: "But if you master the life force cultivation method, even without using the bursting secret technique, your life force conversion rate can continue to climb. 15%, 16%, or even 18% or 19% is not a pipe dream."

He paused, then continued, "If a person's life force conversion rate could truly reach 18% or 19%, I think you all know better than I do what kind of power it could unleash!"

Before the president could react, the martial arts masters were already moved.

"18%!? It can even reach 19%!? That's impossible!" "How could it increase so much all of a sudden!?"

Luo Siming and Shen Zhanxian exclaimed in disbelief.

"impossible!"

Zhao Changkong seemed to have his entire worldview severely impacted.

"I have diligently cultivated the Black Dragon Spear Technique for thirty years! Even before I became a Martial Saint, I had already reached the pinnacle of skill! Since becoming a Martial Saint, I have been perfecting the later moves of the Black Dragon Spear Technique! Trying to draw out more life force and unleash a stronger attack, but even so, when I thrust out the strongest secret technique, I can only convert 13% of my life force into attack! These techniques... can actually reach 18%!? How is this possible!"

That's an increase of 5%!

According to their calculation method, every 1% increase is considered another level of existence. So, an extra 5% is almost equivalent to five levels of existence!

For Zhao Changkong, who had painstakingly studied for so long to achieve the Martial Saint title and only improved by 3%, and whose improvement became increasingly difficult as time went on, the impact was naturally unparalleled.

He put himself in his shoes and thought that if he were to continue his research and improve his life force utilization rate to 18% through marksmanship and combat skills, it would take at least another 60 years!
According to outside sources, the Sixfold Strength of the Martial Saint was developed by Ji Fuyou based on his own learning...

Ji Fuyou has only been a Martial Saint for a short time, how could he possibly have utilized his life force to this extent so quickly?
"Nothing is impossible."

Ji Fuyou said calmly, "This world is bigger than you can imagine."

"We admire the strength of Ji Wusheng, who was able to kill Zhu Long, Pingdeng Wang, and Taiyang Wang in succession."

Zuo Chunqiu, the publicly acknowledged number one martial saint of the Federation, also spoke up: "But, if the cultivation technique you created can increase the life force utilization rate to 18% or 19%..."

He shook his head: "It's still a bit unbelievable."

Song Lingxiao suddenly asked, "Martial Saint Ji... could it be that he broke through his mental shackles, cultivated a mental force field, and became the first mental saint in the Federation, and even in Crimson Star?"

Clearly, in their view, they would rather believe that Ji Fuyou had become a spiritual saint than believe that someone could utilize 18% of their life force.

This has far exceeded their imagination and the limits of their abilities.

Its nature is no less significant than the situation where one's own country's fifth-generation fighter jet has just made its maiden flight while the other country's eighth-generation fighter jet has already entered mass production.

That's a fantasy.

"My mental strength has not yet broken through."

As Ji Fuyou spoke, he slowly stood up: "I know you don't believe me, but no amount of words can compare to the directness of experiencing it firsthand. Instead of engaging in meaningless verbal arguments here... why don't we have a little sparring? I'll let you truly experience what it means to have a life force utilization rate of 18%, or even 20%!"

20%!?
Even more exaggerated!

That's so exaggerated it's practically absurd!
but……

Ji Fuyou dared to say that, and even let them try it themselves...

Although Luo Siming and the others almost shouted the word "absurd" out loud in their hearts, they were still able to suppress it by this action.

The six martial saints were invited, and they had come with the intention of suppressing Ji Fuyou's arrogance in order to gain enough initiative in this transaction.

Now Ji Fuyou has taken the initiative to make this request...

Perfect, this will fulfill his wish.

The six martial saints exchanged glances, but Luo Siming and Shen Zhanxian did not move.

Of the two, Luo Siming is a newly promoted Martial Saint, making him the weakest of the six.

And Shen Zhanxian...

They were wary of Ji Fuyou's formidable strength in killing the Sun King and the Equal King.

Even though Ji Fuyou didn't have a team around him, and they had five Martial Saint-level teammates, he still didn't want to be the one to stick his neck out.

In the end, Zhao Changkong did not follow the plan and stepped forward before Zuo Chunqiu: "Since Martial Saint Ji is so confident and claims that he has cultivated his life force utilization rate to 20%, then I will risk my life to accompany him and have a match with Martial Saint Ji. Let us see what kind of power 20% life force utilization rate really has!"

"you?"

Ji Fuyou glanced at Zhao Changkong.

This Martial Saint and Zuo Chunqiu are considered to be among the strongest Martial Saints in the Federation.

but……

"not enough."

Ji Fuyou shook his head.

Seeing this, Zuo Chunqiu stepped forward and said, "Let me do it."

He said calmly, "Let me see just how powerful Ji Wusheng is, who has successively killed Zhu Long, Pingdeng Wang, and Taiyang Wang."

He is the true number one martial saint of the Federation in everyone's eyes.

His reputation far surpasses that of Zhao Changkong.

Since Ji Fuyou said that Zhao Changkong was no good, he was obviously challenging him by name.

When the six of them discussed it, they did indeed intend to let him test Ji Fuyou's true abilities first.

“Martial Saint Ji, you chose this place because you clearly intended to spar with me. So let me test my skills against you and see if you, a martial saint who has surpassed your master, truly deserve to be called the best in the Federation.”

Zuo Chunqiu said.

"No, you have clearly misunderstood what I meant by 'not enough'."

Ji Fuyou shook his head, his gaze sweeping over the six Martial Saints one by one: "What I mean is... all six of you, come at me together."
