[Tempering Progress: 1%]

Estimated completion time: three hours.

[Consumes 10 points of Qi/HP per unit.]

"Three hours for one bone, consuming 100,000 units of Qi and Blood," Su Jie muttered to himself. "This efficiency is truly impressive. An ordinary martial artist needs a whole day to temper one bone, but with the blessing of the Martial Heart (Blue), it's been shortened to two hours. Theoretically, I can temper eight bones a day... but I can't just keep tempering my bones without sleeping, can I?"

"And then there's the consumption of Qi and Blood. Fortunately, the Origin Breathing Technique now increases Qi and Blood at a rate of 10 points per second, plus the 5 points per second from the Immortal Martial Bone, otherwise it really wouldn't be enough for the consumption of Martial Bone Tempering!"

He felt the blood and energy slowly and steadily seeping into that small finger bone, bringing a subtle tingling and strengthening sensation. The process was so slow it was almost boring.

"Fortunately, my mental strength is strong enough now, and my control over power with [Martial Heart (Blue)] is also precise enough, so I can multitask. I can automatically temper my martial bones while handling matters for the experimental class, without neglecting either. Otherwise, just sitting here doing nothing would be enough to suffocate me."

With this thought in mind, dozens of small light screens appeared in front of him, displaying in real time the vital signs, blood and qi fluctuations, and the growth level of the "Martial Soul" of the thirty-nine trainees who were conducting combat training in the E-17 area of ​​the wilderness.

"That kid Tie Zhu, his martial spirit is about to break through to the second level? He hunted down a 'Claw Cat' with 200 combat power? Not bad, ruthless enough."

"Shi Hai is still as steady as ever, always targeting those with strong defenses. His martial soul's solidity is the highest among everyone."

"Hmm? This team's coordination is quite interesting. Three people actually managed to surround a 'Rock Golem' with 250 combat power? They've got guts..."

While refining his basic martial arts skills, Su Jie also kept an eye on the students' activities.

Just then, the War God's dedicated quantum computer on his wrist vibrated; it was an encrypted communication from Nangong Bo.

Su Jie answered the call lazily, and Nangong Bo's serious yet slightly tired face appeared on the screen.

"War God Su Jie, the council's senior leadership has completed reviewing your preliminary practical report on 'Martial Soul Awakening'."

"Oh? Pretty efficient. What's the conclusion?" Su Jie asked, while internally checking the progress of his finger bone tempering: 2%...

Nangong Bo took a deep breath, his eyes filled with complex emotions: "The conclusion is... astonishingly amazing, but also highly controversial."

He paused, then continued, "Proponents believe that this cultivation method fundamentally overturns the existing cultivation system's single reliance on qi and blood. To grow stronger, one must fight against demonic beasts, thus cultivating true combat warriors with limitless potential."

"What about the opposition?" Su Jie raised an eyebrow, unsurprised.

"The opposition believes that the mortality rate is too high! Because these people are all carefully selected, strong-willed individuals who will die from the mental impact of the demon spirits. The subsequent hunting of demon beasts is also very risky. They believe that this is 'building up strong people with human lives,' which does not conform to the Federation's principle of 'people-oriented.'"

Furthermore, the growth of a martial spirit requires constantly hunting demonic beasts. Could this escalate the war between the Federation and the demonic beasts? They also question the origin of this cultivation technique and whether you can fully control the potential risks it may bring.

"The lawmakers also suggested that you could submit this manual to the federal government so that the legislature could send someone to study it personally."

Su Jie scoffed, "Using human lives to build this up? What a joke! Without the Martial Soul Awakening Method, those students with average talent and scarce resources might only manage to condense two martial veins in their entire lives! Now, at least they've been given a chance to fight to the death! Can you raise an eagle to soar through the sky in a greenhouse?"

His tone was filled with a confident and domineering air: "Special Envoy Nangong, please tell those gentlemen in the council that my Su Jie's experimental class is not a charity, but a furnace for forging sharp blades! If you're afraid of death, don't come!"

Also, I learned for the first time that there are actually people in the Federal Council who are afraid of the invasion of monsters. Although the number of monsters in the Heavenly Star is a hundred times that of us, and they treat us humans as their prey, it is the Great Wall of Martial Arts that our ancestors built with their lives!

It's ridiculous that those councilors staying in the Central Holy City are afraid of escalating the war with the monsters. There is only hatred between us and the monsters, and there is no possibility of peaceful coexistence!

As for the source and control of the technique…”

Su Jie's eyes sharpened, and a terrifying pressure emanated from him, making Nangong Bo's heart tremble even through the communicator: "I know what I'm doing, they don't need to worry about it! As for whether the cultivation technique should be handed over, I have my own plans!"

Nangong Bo was intimidated by Su Jie's imposing manner. After a moment of silence, he smiled wryly and said, "I knew you would have this attitude. Well, the council has finally decided to take a 'cautious observation' approach to your 'experimental class' plan and will not expand its scale for the time being, but you are allowed to continue to move forward."

At the same time, I hope you will submit a quantitative report on the improvement of the trainees' combat capabilities as soon as possible, especially their performance in the martial arts exam, as this will directly affect subsequent decisions.

"The Federal military is also very interested in your cultivation technique; perhaps you could talk to them!"

Su Jie just chuckled and hung up the phone, but this call only strengthened some of his beliefs!

After ending the communication, Su Jie glanced at the progress of the finger bone tempering: 3%... Su Jie, who had previously thought the tempering efficiency was okay, now felt it was still too slow!

He had just turned his attention back to the student monitoring screen when his brow suddenly furrowed. On one of the screens, the vital signs had become extremely weak, and a maximum-level danger alarm had been issued!

"Hmm? We're in danger?" Su Jie's divine sense instantly spread out, sweeping across the E-17 area like an invisible radar.

The next second, his face darkened.

"It's not a demonic beast... it's man-made energy interference and shielding! Someone is targeting my students!"

He snorted coldly, and his figure vanished from the training room in an instant.
