High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 7 Medicinal Bath
Qin Feng froze.

He blinked, and the pale blue light screen in front of him remained, perfectly clear.

This is not an illusion!
Qin Feng began the test.

He abandoned his focus on the proficiency numbers and devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivating the Imperial Basic Body Tempering Method.

One hour.

Two hours.

Three hours.

Qin Feng demonstrated the entire set of nine movements of the "Imperial Basic Body Forging Method" once, his movements were precise and meticulous.
"boom."

He finally couldn't hold on any longer, his knees buckled, and he knelt on one knee on the ground.

Sweat dripped from his chin, splashing into a small water droplet on the ground.

His vision blurred, his heart pounded like a war drum, and each beat brought excruciating pain to his entire body.

That's his limit.

In the past, when he cultivated to this level, he needed to rest for two whole days to recover.

He forced himself to lift his head and look at the empty space in front of him.

[Imperial Basic Body Forging Technique Proficiency +1]

[Imperial Basic Body Tempering Method (Beginner Level)]

[Proficiency: 5/100]

[Tip: Reaching a proficiency level of 100 will advance you to the Lesser Mastery stage.]

The number on the panel remained at "5".

Three hours of intensive training only yielded 1 point of proficiency.

Qin Feng was not discouraged; instead, his eyes shone even brighter.

Real-time feedback!

He can now see his own progress, and every bit of effort he puts in will pay off!

This panel, named "Heaven Rewards Diligence," is not a simple counter.

It's more like a strict examiner; only when one's practice accumulates to a certain "quantity" and maintains sufficient "quality" in the process can one achieve a higher level of proficiency.

He was not given power out of thin air, nor was he given any divine skills or secret techniques.

We simply record every bit of effort he puts in in the fairest way, and when he breaks through the threshold, we give him the purest reward.

This golden finger wasn't something he gained without effort; it simply ensured that his hard work wouldn't be in vain.

Qin Feng looked at the panel again, and a new line of small text appeared below.

[Tip: Improving the host's own physical constitution can slightly accelerate the efficiency of skill acquisition.]

He finally understood.

This system is not static.

As his own aptitude improves, his cultivation efficiency will also increase.

Effort and talent, catalyzed by this panel, will form a perfect positive cycle.

He remembered his father's words again.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with vocational schools. You can live a peaceful and stable life, even if you're unknown. The advantage is that you're secure."

Previously, Qin Feng said he would give it a try, but in his heart he had already prepared for the worst and was ready to accept an ordinary path.

But now, he raised his head, his gaze piercing through the window, looking at the sky divided by skyscrapers.

On the distant holographic billboard, the figures of those renowned powerhouses flashed by.

Obscure and unknown, or famous throughout the world?
He hesitated no more.

"To be famous throughout the world!"

He uttered those words in a low voice, as if declaring them to himself.

Qin Feng experimented for a while longer and finally understood the mystery of the panel.

Everything is fair and just, no different from normal martial arts training, only the rewards are tangible.

Little by little, you make a fortune; every little bit helps!
Qin Feng suppressed his excitement and continued cultivating.

The second action is "moving the mountain".

The third action is "Suppressing the Sea".

……

Qin Feng's mind was now free of distractions.

Like a tireless machine, he repeated the "Imperial Basic Body Forging Method" over and over again in a corner of the training area.

Once, twice, three times...

Sweat quickly soaked through his newly changed training clothes, running down his cheeks, neck, and back, and pooling into a small puddle on the high-strength composite floor beneath his feet.

The muscle soreness returned, but unlike the tearing pain of yesterday, today's soreness carried a kind of exhilarating pleasure.

His focus and hard work also attracted the attention of some people around him.

"Hey, look at that kid, he practices like a madman."

"Yes, all day long, I practice until I can't move and I'm completely exhausted."

"Will it work? I heard from Coach Li that he used to be sickly, and he was only cured today."

"We had a poor foundation and started late, it's tough."

The surrounding chatter did not reach Qin Feng's ears.

Li Weiguo also noticed Qin Feng's unusual behavior.

He looked at the figure practicing diligently in the corner, and his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

Qin Feng's movements were very standard, even textbook-level.

But what truly surprised him was Qin Feng's stamina. Someone who had just recovered from a long-standing ailment should still be in a weak recovery period.

Qin Feng's physical abilities were no less than those of any healthy trainee on the field.

"The recovery was quite fast."

Li Weiguo made an assessment in his mind, but did not step forward to provide guidance.

In his view, while this kind of relentless training is commendable in spirit, it can easily lead to excessive physical strain, which in turn will affect the training the next day.

Martial arts training emphasizes a balance of tension and relaxation, rather than blindly pushing forward.

Even Zhou Heyuan understands this principle.

He would come out to rest and replenish his nutrition after training in the gravity chamber for half an hour, instead of being like Qin Feng, who seemed to be trying to drain himself dry.

time flies.

It's approaching evening.

Qin Feng's body reached its limit once again.

My legs began to tremble uncontrollably, and my vision became somewhat blurred.

[Refining Technique: Imperial Basic Body Tempering Method (Beginner Level)]

[Proficiency +1]

[Proficiency: 6/100]

[Refining Technique: Imperial Basic Body Tempering Method (Beginner Level)]

[Proficiency +1]

[Proficiency: 7/100]

"boom."

After completing the last movement, he finally couldn't hold on any longer, his body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.

He was breathing heavily, his chest heaving violently, and the floor beneath him was completely soaked with sweat.

But he showed no sign of frustration; instead, his eyes gleamed with excitement.

After ten hours of hard work throughout the day, my proficiency increased by 3 points.

He immediately raised his wrist and opened his personal terminal.

Vitality Index: 0.58

It went up another 0.03!

He stood up, walked to the rest area by the training field, picked up his water bottle, and drank the water in one gulp.

Every cell in the body is greedily absorbing water to repair its damage.

Just then, Li Weiguo walked over.

"After training, we'll go to the nearby cafeteria to replenish our energy."

His tone remained calm.

"Yes, Teacher Li."

Qin Feng nodded.

"besides."

Li Weiguo looked at him and said, "Your training today was too much. Martial arts training is not something that can be accomplished overnight; it must be done step by step. If you train like this, you may seem to be making rapid progress today, but you will be unable to train tomorrow due to overuse of your muscles. It's not worth it."

"I see."

Qin Feng answered.

In fact, the nutrient solution that Sun Chantang gave him was of a very high grade, which is why Qin Feng was able to train continuously today.

Once the effects of that nutrient solution wear off, Qin Feng's cultivation will slow down.

Buying nutrient solution myself will be another huge expense.

"Forget it, it's up to you."

Li Weiguo looked at his calm eyes, shook his head, said nothing more, and turned to walk towards Zhou Heyuan.

"Come on, I'll take you to the medicinal bath on the third floor. Soaking in a C-grade medicinal bath can speed up your recovery and consolidate today's training results."

"Thank you, Teacher Li!"

Watching them walk away, Qin Feng felt no envy whatsoever.

He glanced at his dashboard.

【God rewards hard work】

As long as you work hard, you will be rewarded.

Qin Feng walked out of the training hall and came to the nutrition restaurant attached to the martial arts school.

He didn't have the money to order those expensive beast meat sets, so he just spent ten Imperial Coins to buy a basic energy meal.

After finishing his meal, he didn't go home, but returned to the training ground.

After resting for an hour, he had recovered most of his strength.

He once again threw himself into the tedious yet intense practice.

[Refining Technique: Imperial Basic Body Tempering Method (Beginner Level)]

[Proficiency +1]

[Proficiency: 8/100]

Just as the martial arts school was about to close, Qin Feng heard the news that his proficiency had increased again. Only then did he drag his extremely exhausted body and leave the Limitless Martial Arts School.

When he got home, his father, Qin Dahai, had been waiting for him for a long time.

Seeing his son's training clothes, soaked with sweat and almost dripping wet, and his tired yet energetic face, Qin Dahai didn't ask any questions.

He simply added half a bowl of rice and a large piece of synthetic meat to Qin Feng's bowl.
