Chapter 7 Martial Bone Awakening (Please add to your favorites and vote!)

Jiang Ye was somewhat puzzled.

He had indeed consulted Chen Zilu many times these days, but he had never approached her privately.

This was also the first time Chen Zilu had taken the initiative to contact him.

Just as Jiang Ye was pondering, a girl walked up to him and handed him a bottle of water.

"Um, this is for you."

Jiang Ye looked up and saw the girl who often handed him water; her name was Xia Qing.

"Thank you, I'll bring you some next time," Jiang Ye said.

Xia Qing nodded shyly, then ran away with her face flushed.

Jiang Ye watched her retreating figure with a sigh. Is this the advantage of being handsome? Unfortunately, in this world, being handsome can't put food on the table.

Not far away, Wen Yuehui walked over and stared at him with an incredulous look.

"No, man."

Wen Yuehui looked displeased: "You changed people?"

Jiang Ye turned his head in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The Ah Ye I know couldn't possibly have such amazing martial arts talent! Who are you? Give my good brother back!"

Wen Yuehui cried out in anguish.

Jiang Ye's progress over the past month has been so rapid that others might not be able to see it.

But Wen Yuehui, as her best friend and frenemies, saw it very clearly.

Especially now that Chen Zilu has taken the initiative to invite Jiang Ye to give her private lessons, Wen Yuehui is practically dying of jealousy.

Jiang Ye's lips twitched as he looked at Wen Yuehui's grief-stricken appearance.

Good grief, you're worried about your brother's life being tough, but you're also worried about him driving a Land Rover, huh?

At this moment, Wen Yuehui suddenly said, "Aye, are you cheating? Don't forget your brother if you get anything good."

Jiang Ye shook his head and sighed, "Couldn't it be because of my persistence and hard work?"

Wen Yuehui was stunned for a moment.

Then he said quietly, "If persistence and hard work were useful, the world's richest man would have been a donkey long ago."

"."

This statement was impossible to refute.

Seeing that Wen Yuehui still wanted to complain, Jiang Ye said, "Let's go to the cafeteria, or we won't even get any soup."

"I boil it!"

Wen Yuehui suddenly realized what was happening and rushed out of the classroom.

Jiang Ye followed closely behind, and the two soon arrived at the entrance of the cafeteria.

An electronic scrolling screen was hanging above the entrance to the cafeteria.

An electronic banner was scrolling repeatedly above:

Efficiency is key! Students, please adhere to meal times!

[Grade 11: 30 minutes / Grade 12: 20 minutes / Grade 12: 15 minutes]

Seeing this, Wen Yuehui couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, why is the meal time shortened again? Didn't the second year of high school have half an hour for meals before?"

Jiang Ye was speechless for a moment.

He knew this was a school rule established by the school to allow students to have more time to cultivate.

But now, mealtimes have been shortened again.

Only twenty minutes left!
Practicing martial arts requires a large appetite.

It's ridiculous to expect the oxen to run but not to eat grass.
The two entered the cafeteria with resentment, only to find students devouring their food in a frenzy. There wasn't a single sound in the cafeteria except for the frantic slurping of their food.

Jiang Ye couldn't help but glance at the private rooms on the second floor.

“Those private rooms are full of students from the top classes.”

The regular classes and the honors classes are in the same school.

But the treatment they received seemed worlds apart.

The regulations on meal times only apply to regular classes and do not affect advanced classes.

For students in top classes, they can also get more favorable food subsidies and access to various resources.

Of course, all of this is fine.

Jiang Ye even heard that in some schools, students in regular classes are expected to greet students in honorary classes as a way to cultivate good work habits.

"Fortunately, Ancheng No. 3 Middle School isn't like that."

Jiang Ye sighed inwardly.

After finishing lunch, Jiang Ye went straight to Chen Zilu's office.

The office was empty; Chen Zilu had clearly not finished eating.

Jiang Ye simply started cultivating on the spot.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Ye turned his head and saw a beautiful, aloof woman already sitting in a chair.

"teacher."

Jiang Ye walked over and said.

Chen Zilu glanced at him and said, "You've made quite a bit of progress these past few days. Have you been taking medication?"

Jiang Ye was taken aback. He hadn't expected the other person's first words to be like this.

Could it be that his progress has been so great that even the teachers suspect he's been given performance-enhancing drugs?
He immediately shook his head and denied it.

Chen Zilu said calmly, "It's not a good thing to take medicine too early. You haven't mastered your cultivation method yet. If you take medicine now, it will be even more difficult to break through to perfection."

"I had Li Zhichao take the medicine because his parents are both martial arts masters and have ways to eliminate some of the side effects."

"If you take the medicine in advance, you will only overwork yourself further."

Even Wen Yuehui could see Jiang Ye's progress, so Chen Zilu, as his teacher, naturally saw it even more clearly.

In her eyes, Jiang Ye's rate of improvement this month was clearly abnormal.

Jiang Ye said somewhat helplessly, "Teacher, I really didn't use any medicine."

He had no intention of pretending to be weak to take advantage of others.

Only when the other party knows his potential and is willing to teach him will he have more opportunities to improve.

Chen Zilu smiled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? I know you didn't use any medication."

"Ok?"

Jiang Ye looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Chen Zilu continued, "But if you need to get injections in the future, you can contact me. I have a cheaper channel with fewer side effects."

"."

Jiang Ye was stunned for a moment.

He was immediately taken aback.

So all that they said was to sell him medicine?
Could it be that Li Zhichao bought his Lilong potion from Chen Zilu as well?
"Teacher, didn't you just say that we shouldn't use pesticides?" Jiang Ye said after a long silence.

Chen Zilu said, "Don't start too early, rather than not start at all."

"If you want to climb the Starry Sky Martial Arts, taking medicine is a necessary part."

"But normally, you have to master the Star Martial Cultivation Method to the point of perfection before you can withstand the side effects of the potion."

Jiang Ye asked in confusion, "What about Li Zhichao?"

He remembered that Li Zhichao had just mastered his boxing skills when Chen Zilu recommended that he get injections.

Chen Zilu said calmly, "Li Zhichao's potential has been exhausted. Only by taking the medicine in advance can he hope to get into a better martial arts university."

"As for you"

She glanced at Jiang Ye with her pretty eyes and said, "I really didn't sense any signs of you taking medicine. So, you've awakened your martial bone?"

"Wu Gu awakens?"

Jiang Ye looked puzzled.

Chen Zilu explained, "Besides innate talent, martial bone is also a factor that determines a person's martial arts talent."

"Of course, the higher the level of talent, the stronger the innate martial bone will be."

“Normally, martial bone, like innate talent, cannot be changed,” Chen Zilu said. “But there have been some rare cases where the martial bone has undergone subtle changes after birth, leading to a surge in talent, which is called martial bone awakening.”

"I see."

Jiang Ye nodded, somewhat understanding.

The term "martial spirit" likely refers to one's physical constitution.

He didn't have some kind of martial spirit awakening; rather, his physique had been enhanced.

However, this also explains why his cultivation speed has increased.

Jiang Ye immediately said, "Then I must have awakened my martial bone. I did feel the changes within my body before."

He explained the changes he had experienced during his previous physical enhancement with slight adjustments.

After hearing this, Chen Zilu got up and walked to Jiang Ye's side.

Just as Jiang Ye was wondering what was going on, he felt a slender hand placed on his cervical spine.

"Do you mind?" Chen Zilu asked.

"Please go ahead, teacher."

Jiang Ye remained calm.

The next moment, he felt a mysterious energy flowing through his vertebrae and throughout his body.

A tingling, numb sensation immediately stimulated Jiang Ye's nerves.

"This is..." Jiang Ye's heart skipped a beat.

He had heard that those who break the shackles of life would have incredible, extraordinary energy born within them.

Could this be extraordinary energy?
It gave him a strange sense of pleasure, and every cell in his body felt relaxed.

Soon, Chen Zilu released her grip and nodded:

"It seems you have indeed awakened your martial spirit."

She looked at Jiang Ye and smiled, "Now, you might have a chance to get into a slightly better martial arts university."

Jiang Ye cupped his hands and said, "It's all thanks to your teachings, teacher."

Chen Zilu laughed, clearly enjoying it.

"No need to be modest. The master can only guide you through the door; the rest is up to you. Your own efforts are the most crucial."

Chen Zilu continued, "Now that you have awakened your martial spirit, you should know some things."

Jiang Ye looked puzzled: "Please speak, teacher."
