Gao Wu: I became a saint through daily settlements

"The Lord of the Starry Sky Martial Hall?"

Chen Fang frowned, staring at the sudden friend request on the virtual screen of his bracelet.

Wu Bo, standing beside him, stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief: "Boss, are you hiding something from me?"

"For example... you are actually the heir of some reclusive martial arts family."

"Just deliberately hiding his abilities to coast through our mechanical engineering class?" Wu Bo lowered his voice, his tone full of surprise and doubt.

Although Jiangcheng is not a large city, it is not impossible for this to happen.

"Otherwise, why would the Lord of the Starry Sky Martial Hall come looking for you?" Wu Bo's small head was filled with big doubts.

In this world where martial arts reign supreme, the Starry Sky Martial Hall is a top-tier force standing at the pinnacle of the martial arts world, and its leader is a figure whose mere stomp can shake the entire martial arts world.

Let alone ordinary mechanical engineering students like them, even elite students from martial arts classes might not be able to exchange a single word with the other party.

Chen Fang immediately shook his head, a sneer tugging at the corner of his mouth. He closed the chat interface on his bracelet, turned around, and squatted back down in front of the half-old star energy engine.

"It's definitely a scam. Scammers these days are using increasingly sophisticated tricks."

"If you're going to scam someone, you should target those arrogant students in martial arts programs who are eager to climb the social ladder."

"We mechanical engineering students deal with machine parts and oil every day. What could we possibly have to do with the lofty Martial Hall?"

Chen Fang and Wu Bo worked for most of the day, disassembling, repairing, and debugging the engine, finally managing to restore it to basic operation and get it started normally.

For ordinary students like them, who have no chance to pursue martial arts and can only make a living through mechanical skills, repairing an engine is far more tangible than any vague invitation to the Martial Arts Hall.

"What the boss said is true. These days, scammers are really audacious. They even dare to impersonate the master of the Starry Sky Martial Hall. Aren't they afraid of real martial artists coming to settle scores with them?"

Wu Bo nodded in agreement and casually picked up an adjustable wrench from the tool rack and handed it over.

Chen Fang took the wrench and, while tightening the bolts on the engine, couldn't help but continue to complain:

"Luckily, I'm just a poor loser with no power, no influence, and no money, otherwise I would have been fooled by this nonsense."

"Wu Bo, do you believe he's some kind of palace master, or do you believe I'm the reincarnation of Qin Shi Huang?"

Just as he finished speaking, Chen Fang's bracelet suddenly emitted a rapid "beep beep beep" notification sound, interrupting him.

"News about Lin Yue?"

"Holy crap!" Chen Fang exclaimed, dropping the wrench he was holding to the ground.

"Clang!"

"What's wrong?" Wu Bo asked.

"See for yourself." Chen Fang took off the bracelet and tossed it to Wu Bo.

"Lin Yue?"

"Is this the good brother from the elite class you mentioned?" Ever since Chen Fang came to the mechanical engineering class, Wu Bo had been hearing Chen Fang talk about Lin Yue.

Therefore, Wu Bo knew quite a bit about Lin Yue.

"I'm so envious of how well he's practiced martial arts."

Since Chen Fang was assigned to the Mechanical Engineering class, he often mentioned Lin Yue to Wu Bo, saying that he was exceptionally talented and the most promising student in the elite class to enter the ranks of formal martial artists, with unlimited potential for the future.

Although Wu Bo had never met Lin Yue in person, he was very familiar with the name and was filled with envy.

In this era, martial artists are the chosen ones, enjoying the best resources and the highest status. Ordinary people, if they encounter an invasion by star beasts, do not even have the power to protect themselves and can only become lambs to the slaughter.

Martial artists, on the other hand, can hunt star beasts with their bare hands, and their salaries are dozens of times higher than those of ordinary people.

If one weren't born with a lack of martial arts talent, who wouldn't want to embark on the path of martial arts, wield power, and control their own destiny?

"Boss... that person just now... he really seemed to be the Lord of the Starry Sky Martial Hall! He wasn't a fraud!"

On the other side, the Starry Sky Martial Hall.

"Old Ma, I think I've found someone Gao Fei needs."

"Where?" Marbo asked.

"Jiangcheng Wuke Affiliated Middle School"

"I have sent the detailed information to your personal terminal. Please remember to check it."

"If you meet Gao Fei's hiring standards, call me back."

"Understood, I'll handle it right away," came Ma Bo's crisp and efficient reply from the other end of the terminal.

Tang Long hung up the phone and immediately dialed another number. When the call connected, Chen Chongshan's serious, deep voice came from the other end:

"Palace Master Tang."

"The situation is not optimistic; it's worse than expected."

"The border reconnaissance team has reported that the Star Beast clan has begun to secretly relocate its base."

"The target is likely several small and medium-sized cities in the interior, and Jiangcheng is probably within the affected area as well. We must prepare for defense as soon as possible, and we also need to speed up the selection of new martial artists."

......

Jingshan Residential Area.

Lin Yue examined the Heart-Guarding Vine that Tang Long had given him again and again, but he couldn't figure it out. It was a martial arts treasure that Tang Long had given him before he left. It could calm the mind, stabilize the spirit, and prevent one from going astray during cultivation.

"Let's take a look at the seed of true qi first."

[Seed of True Qi: In the process of recovery (99.7%)]

Lin Yue smiled faintly: "Having absorbed the essence of sunlight all day, the energy of the sun is fully charged. It's time to activate the true qi seed to fully recover."

Lin Yue took out the Sunlight and carefully shone it on the True Qi Seed that had sprouted a little bit.

Under the sun's rays, the revival of the True Qi Seed accelerated considerably.

All we need to do now is wait.

Lin Yue was not in a hurry; the duration of the sun's radiance was about thirty minutes.

Ten minutes later.

[Seed of True Qi: In the process of recovery (99.9%)]

"99.9%! The Seed of True Qi is just one step away from complete recovery," Lin Yue murmured.

Lin Yue closed his eyes, feeling the resurgence of the True Qi Seed.

"This feeling is truly subtle."

Another ten minutes passed.

Lin Yue felt as if something was frantically bursting out.

[Seed of True Qi: Fully Restored!]

[Congratulations, host! Your True Qi Seed has awakened from its dormant state!]

[Bud of True Qi: Growing.]

"A bud of true qi?" Lin Yue asked curiously, sensing a faint trace of true qi within his body.

"In other words, I can now be considered a 'True Qi Warrior'." He could hardly contain his excitement.

Lin Yue exhaled a breath of stale air.

"I wonder what level of strength I will reach after acquiring true qi?"

Current Life Energy Level: 13.1

"I never expected that my internal energy would bring me such a significant improvement."

"Is this what it feels like to have true qi?" Lin Yue tried to activate the true qi in his body and found that his meridians were incredibly unobstructed.

True energy spread through Lin Yue's veins, nourishing his limbs and bones.

"Tang Jingyue told me that the martial art I practice is also an ancient martial art."

"The ancient martial arts of the martial arts realm are divided into three levels: skin tempering, tendon tempering, and bone tempering."

"And the training methods after entering the Martial Master realm are almost identical to those of contemporary cultivation methods."

"Previously, practicing the Bear Sutra mainly involved refining the skin and tendons, while the Bird Strike involves refining the bones."

Lin Yue took out a Qi and Blood Medicine Type III.

"Skin refining".

He unscrewed the bottle cap, poured the viscous medicine into his palm, and spread it evenly all over his body.

"Sizzle~"

The moment the medicine came into contact with the skin, a burning stinging sensation was felt, and the skin instantly turned bright red, emitting a faint red steam.

"Refining the skin through cultivation techniques alone isn't enough; you also need such a potent blood-activating potion!"

Feeling the stinging sensation on his skin, Lin Yue sighed.

About fifteen minutes later, Lin Yue's skin had completely absorbed the entire bottle of Qi and Blood Potion Type III.

Current Life Energy Level: 13.2

"Another 0.1 improvement!"

"It's time to test my current strength on StarCraft."
