I possess boundless talent; even geniuses are no match for me.

......

Is your Qi and blood supply exceeding its limits?

Upon hearing this word, Chen Yu looked completely bewildered.

"After the Body Tempering Realm comes the Blood Exchange Realm, you should know that, right?" Fang Xiong asked again upon seeing this.

Chen Yu nodded: "I know that. The so-called Blood Exchange Realm is the process of transformation of the blood and qi in the body."

"Nine levels of blood exchange, nine transformations of qi and blood, each transformation is a metamorphosis in the quantity and quality of qi and blood."

"Yes, that's generally true," Fang Xiong agreed, then continued:

"But in fact, the process of blood exchange does not necessarily require breaking through to the Blood Exchange Realm; the Body Tempering Realm can also complete the blood exchange."

This process is called "breaking the limits of Qi and Blood".

Chen Yu roughly understood.

Simply put, it means completing the blood exchange process during the Body Tempering Realm, which is called breaking through the limits of Qi and Blood.

"Then what's the use of breaking through the limits of Qi and Blood?" Chen Yu pressed.

Fang Xiong didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point:

"A person's Qi and blood are limited, and breaking through the limit of Qi and blood is to break this limit and build an invincible foundation."

"Based on the nine levels of blood exchange and the nine transformations of qi and blood, breaking through the limit also involves nine cycles, with each cycle corresponding to one level of qi and blood."

"This process won't actually interfere with your normal cultivation. With the first breakthrough, you'll be at the first level of Blood Exchange. A second breakthrough will directly make you at the second level of Blood Exchange..."

"But during this process, your total amount of qi and blood will far exceed the limit of martial artists of the same realm. This is the origin of the concept of breaking limits."

"At the same time, this is also the first step in building an invincible foundation, and it is an extremely important step."

Chen Yu nodded slowly: "So, if one achieves the ninth level of Breaking Limits, one can directly break through to the ninth level of Blood Exchange?"

"Moreover, once this breakthrough is achieved, one's blood and qi reserves will surpass those of an ordinary ninth-level Blood Exchange cultivator!"

Fang Xiong nodded and said, "That's what they say, but even a genius like Wang Qianjun can only break through the limit by one level at most. Breaking through to the second level is as difficult as ascending to heaven."

"With each additional revolution, the difficulty increases exponentially. The so-called nine revolutions are simply a fantasy on Crimson Star."

"Perhaps there are a few people under this starry sky who can achieve the ninth level of breakthrough, but I've never heard of them."

Is breaking through the limit of nine revolutions really that difficult?

Chen Yu frowned, but then he suddenly realized:

"Teacher, are the S-level contracts from the three top universities specifically prepared for geniuses who break through limits?"

He had mentioned this to Mo Bai before, but the other party had not explained it to him.

Looking back now, someone who hasn't broken through to the Blood Exchange Realm yet possesses strength surpassing the peak of Body Tempering must simply be a genius whose blood and qi have reached their limits.

"That's right. If you can reach the first level of breakthrough before the martial arts exam, you will be qualified to obtain an S-level contract from one of the three prestigious universities, and you will also be given special training." Fang Xiong nodded.

"The reward I've prepared for you is actually a limit-breaking cultivation technique called 'Blood Battle Nine Transformations.' Its upper limit is the ninth transformation, which is extremely precious even in the Demon Mountain Star Region."

"It's best not to reveal this technique. Just pretend you're using an ordinary breakthrough technique from Crimson Star."

"Although breaking through the Nine Revolutions Limit is difficult, the preciousness of the cultivation technique is no less."

"A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."

Fang Xiong's expression was serious as he spoke, offering a reminder.

Crimson Star is just a small place; even the best cultivation technique that breaks through limits is only at the fourth level.

The existence of "Blood Battle Nine Transformations" is a devastating blow to Crimson Star.

Fang Xiong had actually hesitated for a long time, worried that this cultivation technique would harm Chen Yu.

"Don't worry, teacher, no one else will know," Chen Yu assured him solemnly, knowing the implications.

For the rest of the day, Chen Yu stayed by Fang Xiong's side, learning "The Nine Transformations of Blood Battle".

Fortunately, his [Strong Memory (Yellow)] talent was not used as a smelting material, so he remembered things very quickly.

Over the next few days, Chen Yu continued to focus on cultivation, choosing the "Smoke and Mist Steps" as his main body technique.

One day to get started, three days to achieve some success.

This is the powerful effect of the cyan quality talent.

However, to achieve mastery, it would take at least ten days, and to become proficient, it would take months.

......

The sky was overcast, with thick, piled-up clouds that blocked out even a sliver of sunlight.

Chen Yu's figure moved like smoke, quite strangely, within the narrow space.

It appears to be moving forward, but its actual body is behind.

It is as elusive as clouds and mist.

"The minor mastery of the 'Smoke Step' is already sufficient for daily combat, and the effect is quite good."

"It will take a few more days to master it, and then I should be able to raise my combat power to another level."

"I'm not sure if I can reach the proficiency level before the martial arts exam, since the time is still too short."

After cultivating for a while, Chen Yu stopped and nodded in satisfaction.

If he had mastered this kind of movement technique during the warm-up matches, he would have been able to break through the encirclement even without the help of Zhao Tianyi and others.

After that, you can rely on the Thunder Blade to break through each obstacle one by one.

"It's time to practice the Thunder Blade Technique."

Chen Yu did not rest for long before continuing to cultivate the Thunder Blade.

As his main combat technique, he had been stuck at the mastery level of this sword technique for too long, and it was difficult for him to break through to perfection.

Despite possessing the talent of a "Grandmaster of Swordsmanship" and feeling that he had accumulated enough experience, he always felt that something was still missing.

As Fang Xiong said, it is not difficult to master martial arts, but to cultivate it to perfection, one must be a genius.

boom!

Thunder roared.

It did not originate from the dark sky above, but from the Blood Chant in Chen Yu's hand.

The hallmark of mastering the Thunder Blade is this unique thunderous sound.

"Something's not right. What's missing?" Chen Yu couldn't help but frown and stand there deep in thought.

suddenly.

A cool sensation appeared on his face; it was a raindrop that pattered against his cheek.

One drop, two drops, the rain was sparse, but the amount was gradually increasing.

"It's going to rain soon, we should leave."

Chen Yu gazed at the horizon and said to himself in a low voice.

Swish!

A bolt of lightning, as thick as an ancient root, suddenly flashed by, seemingly about to split the heavens and the earth in two.

Rumble!

In just a moment, a deafening thunderclap that pierced the sky struck, suddenly exploding in every corner of the world.

Splash!

The torrential rain fell like a torrential downpour from the sky, instantly reaching the ground.

Chen Yu stood motionless, letting the heavy rain soak him completely, muttering to himself as if in a daze:

"Light precedes sound, sound follows light...light precedes sound."

"Light in front... sound behind, knife in front... sound behind."

"Knife before, voice after!"

Suddenly, Chen Yu moved.

The blade flashed in the dim light, and even the rain seemed to be cleaved apart by this single strike.

boom!!!

Immediately afterwards, a thunderous roar, louder than ever before, exploded outwards.

"So that's how it is... This is the true meaning of the Thunder Blade!"

In the pouring rain, Chen Yu stood alone, head held high, letting the torrential rain lash his face, a smile slowly appearing on his lips.

Nearly two months later, the Thunder Blade is complete.
