High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 67 New Mode
Qian Duoduo immediately assumed his role as the "intelligence expert," clearing his throat and explaining:

"This is easy to understand. Think about it, the official ranking matches in the Imperial Arena match registered martial artists from billions of planets across the entire boundless galaxy. The scope is extremely wide, and you can see all kinds of martial artists."

"But this 'Qiming No. 1 High School Private Domain', as the name suggests, is a 'subspace network' private domain that our principal or the academic affairs office established through their permissions, which belongs only to the second year of high school. It can also be understood as a local area network or a private server, and the server owner is most likely the principal himself."

He became more and more excited as he spoke: "In this private domain, your only opponents are the second-year high school students and those legendary graduates who left behind battle footage. The points are also independent and do not affect your rank or points in the official ranked matches."

"As for this completely random matching with an unfixed vitality index..."

Qian Duoduo chuckled, "That's the most ruthless part. In ranked matches, the vitality index is locked to make everyone's physical strength exactly the same, but in the private domain, the vitality index is not locked, which means that however strong your physical body is, that's how strong you will be in battle."

He looked at Qin Feng and Shi Potian and concluded, "This is no longer a simple competition. It's forcing you to abandon all possibilities of opportunism and fight with everything you have. Your killing techniques, physical strength, combat intelligence, willpower... everything will be put to the test. This is a contest of pure, hard power!"

Hard power.

Qin Feng and Shi Potian silently recited these three words, both feeling their heavy weight.

"What about practical training?"

Qin Feng asked, as this was what he was more concerned about.

Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "The difference is also significant. The practical training in the first year of high school is a team activity, with teachers leading the team and classmates providing support. It focuses more on cultivating your teamwork and basic battlefield survival skills."

"But the individual combat course in the second year of high school is completely different. 'Individual' doesn't mean that you go on a mission alone, but that for each mission, the school will only send one student and one mentor. You might be dropped into some corner of the galaxy to clear out the greens with teammates who have also accepted the mission; you might join a group of traveling merchants as a mercenary to protect them as they cross dangerous asteroid belts; or you might complete a reconnaissance or assassination mission independently."

"Because these tasks are highly random and dangerous, and require mentors to carefully select and tailor them to each student's characteristics, they are said to be opened irregularly. Whether you can get a good task, and how many tasks you get, depends on your ability, your luck, and even more so on how much attention your mentor pays to you."

After hearing Qian Duoduo's explanation, Qin Feng and Shi Potian fell silent again.

After a long silence, Shi Potian slowly spoke, his tone tinged with emotion: "Every second-year high school student needs a tutor to individually select tasks... There are at least ten thousand second-year high school students."

"Yes."

Qin Feng nodded and added, "It's not just the screening; the subsequent task tracking, evaluation, and wrap-up involve an unimaginable amount of work."

They finally understood the immense responsibility that Wu Shangfeng bore beneath his cold exterior.

Every teacher here is working tirelessly for the growth of all students.

Qiming No.1 High School truly lives up to its reputation as one of the top seven high schools on the educational planet Qimingxing.

The discussion in the dormitory gradually subsided. Qian Duoduo smacked his lips, still wanting more, but finally calmed down and began his own cultivation.

He not only admired the new system for second-year high school students, but also used it as motivation to catch up.

Dormitory 402 has returned to its usual tranquility.

Qin Feng sat cross-legged on his bed, reviewing all the information he had just acquired in his mind to ensure he had a clear understanding of the new rules for the second year of high school.

Then, he raised his wrist, and with a thought, brought up his subspace network access pass.

A pale blue, technologically advanced virtual light screen silently unfolded before him.

This was an interface he was very familiar with; at the top was his personal ID and Imperial Citizen Number.

But today, he keenly noticed that the path below the top-level information bar, which represented his identity, had changed.

The previous display showed: [Subspace Network - Qiming First Martial Arts Senior High School].

Now that line of text has changed to: [Subspace Network - Qiming First Martial Arts High School - Private Domain].

The addition of the word "private domain" subtly yet prominently marks his promotion.

This is not just the addition of a prefix; it signifies that he has stepped out of the ordinary student body and into the school's educational circle.

Qin Feng's gaze lingered on the new path for a moment, then he stretched out a finger and gently tapped the light screen. With his touch, the entire interface rippled outwards like water.

The original universal panel was quickly faded and shrunk, and replaced by a brand new and completely different interface.

The new panel has changed its overall color scheme from the original sky blue to a deeper, more textured dark gold.

The layout is also more concise and efficient, with all functional modules clearly listed on the left in a modular way, making it easy to see at a glance.

At the top of the light screen was his personal core information.

Name: Qin Feng
Student ID: GY1031488
[Identity]: Second-year student at Qiming First Martial Arts High School
[Class]: Grade 11 (7)
His gaze shifted downwards, and he saw several brand-new functional modules radiating a soft glow.

The first module is located under the "Resource Center" category.

[Refining Resources]: Intermediate Imperial Body Forging Method (Tutorial Video)

It was currently glowing white, meaning that Qin Feng had the right to access and study it.

The second module is a separate option that is highlighted.

[Mentor System]: Apply for on-campus mentorship (Remaining attempts: 2)

Because Qin Feng received two private lessons from Teacher Gu Yue, he did not use the mentor guidance function in the C-level contract. He has accumulated two guidance opportunities but has not used them yet.

This is one of the core benefits that only students on a Class C contract can enjoy.

Each instruction means receiving one-on-one, targeted teaching from a mentor who is at least at the fighter level.

Professor Gu Yue's three special tutoring sessions made him deeply understand the value of such opportunities.

He now has two more opportunities to apply voluntarily.

Qin Feng's gaze finally landed on the bottom, on the module that occupied the largest section.

Imperial Arena

However, unlike before, this module now features a prominent server pointer at the bottom.

[Currently matched private domain: Qiming No.1 High School - Grade 11 - Private Domain]

This is the only way for second-year high school students to earn points, and it is the core battleground for them to measure their strength, obtain GPA, and rank themselves in the future.

The subspace network - Qiming First Martial Arts High School - private domain transformed the projected panel into a highly integrated personal training terminal specifically designed for elite second-year high school students.

From learning the techniques to receiving guidance from renowned masters, and then to having a dedicated competition platform, everything is built around the core goal of "improving individual strength."

Qin Feng stared quietly at the light screen before him, his finger hovering over the brand-new modules, but he didn't click on them immediately.

Completely self-study, solo practice, private server ranking tournaments, video battles against legendary senior students...

Qin Feng thought for a moment, then clicked on the intermediate imperial body tempering method teaching video. His mind was immediately pulled into another space, where a teacher appeared in front of him, instructing on the intermediate imperial body tempering method.

However, the teacher's serious demeanor clearly indicated that the video was pre-recorded.

This 3D video tutorial on refining and killing techniques is a standardized teaching method used when purchasing refining and killing techniques from the Imperial Exchange.

Qin Feng took a deep breath and immersed himself in learning the intermediate imperial body tempering technique.

My second year of high school has begun.
