My name is Huang Tian, ​​what the hell is this "Heaven is dead" nonsense?

Chapter 52 Edge
Having only reached the eighth rank of martial arts in middle age, Instructor Xu's comprehension and aptitude were indeed average. He had also seen and admired many geniuses who cultivated faster.

However, those geniuses seem to pale in comparison to Huang Tian now. Those who can instantly master the Spirit Tiger Crane Stance and develop its power can no longer be described as mere geniuses!
Instructor Xu was astonished, and the martial arts students below the stage were even more stunned. At this moment, they no longer felt jealousy, but only doubted their own existence. Why would such a genius be learning martial arts with them? It was too discouraging!
After Huang Tian finished his attack, Instructor Xu managed to calm himself down and said with exceptional sincerity:

"I can't even describe your comprehension anymore. At least I've never seen anyone with such high comprehension in my life. However, the higher one's natural talent and comprehension, the more diligently one must practice."

In the martial arts world, you don't see geniuses, you only see the strong. Without becoming strong, no matter how talented you are, you will never be respected. You must remember this.

Huang Tian nodded.

"Now that you have developed strength, I will tell you how to use strength to nourish your qi and blood."

Instructor Xu said slowly, "When the strength is first generated, it is relatively weak, but the longer you practice stance training, the more and stronger the strength will become."

Under your guidance, it can unblock meridians, temper skin, tendons, and bones, thus turning your body into a furnace, boiling your blood and qi. The blood and qi gradually become more refined in the furnace, naturally leading to a breakthrough in your realm at a certain moment.

However, to increase and refine one's Qi and blood, certain dietary supplements are essential; otherwise, one will only become more deficient and break down one's body.

However, you don't need to worry about supplies. Once you martial arts students have developed your strength, you can get medicinal soup from the Imperial Guard at the canteen for each of your three daily meals. This medicinal soup will sustain your daily stance training.

He paused for a moment, then asked, "Do you carry your identity token with you at all times?"

"Bring it."

Huang Tian took out the wooden plaque he had received yesterday, which read "Huang Tian, ​​number 32 of the character Yi". Instructor Xu took it and, with his fingers like a knife, forcefully carved a small character "Xu" on it.

"From today onwards, you can use this wooden plaque to collect your share of medicinal soup. But remember, only collect as much as you need. It's okay to drink a few extra bowls, but remember not to hide and sell them. If you are found out, you will be severely punished."

"Thank you, instructor. I understand."

"Alright, now that you've developed your strength, go and refine your Qi and blood. You don't need to practice the Spirit Tiger Stance with me anymore."

Instructor Xu told Huang Tian to practice alone on his own, then looked at the martial arts students whispering below the platform and shouted, "What's all the noise about? Be quiet!"

The scene was silent for a moment.

"Huang Tian mastered the power in an instant because of his extraordinary comprehension. You don't have his comprehension, so listen carefully to my lesson!" Instructor Xu said. "Next, I will demonstrate the Demon Crane Stance. You can choose either the Spirit Tiger Stance or the Demon Crane Stance to practice, understand?"

"understand!"

"Okay, keep a close eye on them!"

Instructor Xu nodded slightly, and then began practicing the Crane Stance. The martial arts students below the stage seemed to be somewhat stimulated by Huang Tian, ​​and they all stared intently at his stance, breathing, and energy exertion.

Huang Tian walked to the side and slowly practiced the Spirit Tiger and Demon Crane stances, pondering as he did so.

'This Tiger-Crane Strength technique seems suitable for combined practice with my Thunder Sound Body Tempering Secret Technique? Let's give it a try!'

With a thought, while his body was still practicing the stance training, a series of almost inaudible thunderous sounds suddenly resounded within him.

An invisible sound wave vibrated continuously between his chest and abdomen, subtly forging his skin, flesh, and bones, coordinating with the Tiger-Crane Force flowing through his body. At the instant the thunderous sound and the force collided—BOOM!
His blood and energy surged like oil being poured on a fire, erupting and boiling like a volcano that had been ignited!
If you put your ear to his chest, you can even hear the sound of his blood boiling and churning!

'When combined with Thunder Sound Body Tempering, the speed at which it strengthens and nourishes the body is astonishing!'

It was as if some kind of violent chemical reaction had occurred, almost five or six times more effective than simply practicing stance training!

He roughly estimated that if he continued to nourish his qi and blood at the current pace, he could successfully enter the rank of a high-level cultivator in just ten days!
This is nothing short of a miracle for most beginners in martial arts. Unless they have elixirs or precious medicines to aid their cultivation, most people would need at least two to three months, or even several years, to advance from the initial strength level to the entry level. This is why Wei Xue gave a six-month time limit.

If someone can break through within six months, that's considered good and worth continuing to train. If it takes more than six months or a year, they're just average talent and not worth training much; they can only be assigned to be a strongman.

'Having reached a high level of skill in just a few days, he's become a bit too ambitious. Should I hide it a bit?' This thought flashed through Huang Tian's mind, but he quickly dismissed it. Hide? Hide my ass!
Do we really have to play dumb and pretend to be ordinary?

Meaningless!

He only planned to quickly traverse this world and see the scenery at the top of the world!
Therefore, not only should we not hide our talents, but we should also break through quickly and show them off without reservation. Only in this way can we be noticed by people at higher levels and receive better training!

Having made up his mind, Huang Tian focused even more intently on practicing stance training and internally cultivating his qi and blood.

Noon arrived quickly, the martial arts students dispersed, and Huang Tian also stopped his cultivation to go to the restaurant for a meal and to collect his medicinal soup. However, wherever he went, the eyes of the people around him fell on him.

Especially when he was eating in a restaurant, the news that he had instantly mastered the Tiger Crane Strength spread to almost all the new martial arts students who had entered the Imperial Guard Academy, and everyone looked at him with surprise and envy.

Huang Tian paid no attention to these stares and returned to his room after drinking the medicinal soup.

There was no need to practice at the training ground in the afternoon. The instructors only taught them stance training in the morning, so the martial arts students could do whatever they wanted in the afternoon.

Some people practiced stance training for half a day and were exhausted, so they took the time to lie down and rest in their rooms. Others went to the training ground to continue practicing. Huang Tian, ​​however, was too lazy to go to the training ground and be watched by the crowd. He simply stayed in his room to hone his qi and blood on his own.

After lunch, Jiang Hou and He Xu returned to their dormitory and saw Huang Tian skillfully practicing his stance. They were filled with envy and wanted to strike up a conversation to get closer to him, but they were a little embarrassed. After all, they were roommates and would be living together for a while, so there would be plenty of opportunities to deepen their relationship.

Unless you are admitted to a higher rank, you will be assigned to a single room in the Upper Dormitory.

Seeing that Huang Tian was so talented and hardworking, Jiang Hou and his companion gritted their teeth and started practicing stance training, even though they were quite tired. They stood in an open space outside the house, awkwardly assuming the stances, with sweat dripping down their faces.

Waves of soreness washed over them, causing them to groan inwardly. But each time they considered giving up, they would see Huang Tian still practicing his stance training, and a fierce determination would rise within them: 'If I can't compete in talent, can't I at least compete in endurance?'

however.

at night.

"We can't compete! We can't compete!"

Looking at Huang Tian, ​​who was still diligently practicing and honing his skills under the moonlight, the two collapsed to the ground in utter despair, their eyes vacant, feeling that life had almost lost its meaning...
