----------

Martial arts top-grade innate talent is Chen Yu's second purple-quality talent.

Its quality is comparable to that of a "Grandmaster of Knife Techniques," so its effects should not be underestimated.

With a cultivation speed two hundred times faster than that of ordinary people, a day's cultivation was almost equivalent to a year's harvest for an ordinary person, far exceeding Chen Yu's imagination.

However, the amount of resources it consumes is also increasing day by day.

After all, even martial arts currently require nearly energy conservation, and terrifying martial arts talent also requires a massive amount of martial arts resources to support it.

In just a few days, Chen Yu's savings were completely depleted, all of which were used to purchase Qi and Blood Elixirs to aid his cultivation.

The harvest was equally astonishing.

Three days before the start of the semester at Wuhan University.

"Peak of Body Tempering, achieved!!!"

Chen Yu suddenly stopped, feeling the immense power surging through his body, and couldn't help but rejoice.

A punch with the force of ten tons, exploding at a speed of fifty meters per second in an instant!

In twelve days, he went from the ninth level of Body Tempering to the peak of Body Tempering. This is the ultimate martial arts talent!

"All that effort wasn't for nothing!" Chen Yu lightly swung his fist in front of him, and a series of hissing sounds rang out.

The peak of body tempering is already the natural limit of the human body.

After that, only by relying on the power of Qi and blood can one continue to improve their martial arts strength.

This is the Blood Transformation Realm.

However, there is a limit to one's Qi and blood. After reaching the ninth level of the Blood Exchange Realm, one needs to choose a suitable source energy cultivation method to absorb the source energy of heaven and earth and break through the acupoints of the human body.

At that time, their combat power will be able to rise again, and they may even be able to survive in the space environment with only their physical strength.

"Twelve days, from the ninth level of Body Tempering to the peak of Body Tempering, and this is only the purple quality of martial arts foundation."

"It seems that what Old Fang once said about the existence of geniuses among the human race who can break through a realm in a single day was not a lie."

Chen Yu couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

A martial arts master with exceptional talent would be among the very best on Crimson Glory Star, and such a talent would likely only appear once every hundred years.

However, considering the vast human race, or even just the Demon Mountain Starfield, their numbers are probably not small.

One can only imagine how strong the talents must be for those geniuses who can participate in the Star Battle, or even be considered top talents in the Star Battle!

......

The day before they were to depart for Huaying Martial Arts University, Fang Xiong took the initiative to approach Chen Yu.

"Peak of Body Tempering?"

Fang Xiong looked Chen Yu up and down, his tone full of surprise.

This time he was genuinely surprised.

Every time he met Chen Yu, this kid always seemed to bring him a little surprise.

Previously, her swordsmanship talent was no less than his; now, her training speed is in no way inferior to his.

She's practically a carbon copy of him.

"Just average, nothing compared to the top geniuses in the Star Wars," Chen Yu said modestly, scratching his head.

"Tsk, you're getting cocky now that I'm calling you fat!" Fang Xiong chuckled, then asked:

"Now that you've reached the peak of Body Tempering, you must have already begun practicing the 'Nine Transformations of Blood Battle,' how does it feel?"

When the topic of "Blood Battle Nine Transformations" came up, Chen Yu's expression became much more serious. Indeed, as Fang Xiong had said, he had already begun to experiment with breaking through the limits of blood and qi.

"I feel relatively relaxed right now. If my predictions are correct, I should be able to reach the first level of advancement within a month."

Chen Yu spoke uncertainly, expressing his feelings.

Of course, one month was his estimated result. If he got into Wuhan University and received the investment of ten million Chihuang coins, it should be possible to finish in a little longer.

He is desperately short of resources right now.

The combination of top-tier martial arts physique and the terrifying digestive efficiency granted by the gluttonous factor can accelerate the speed of breaking through limits.

"It seems your martial arts talent is indeed quite good." Fang Xiong nodded.

Breaking through the limit and completing a transformation within a month is an extremely terrifying speed; few in the history of Crimson Star have been able to achieve this.

However, he didn't come today to check on Chen Yu's cultivation progress, but rather to offer a reminder.

"Chen Yu, you've recently had a breakthrough, and your cultivation has been going smoothly. I imagine you're quite proud of yourself, or rather... arrogant."

Fang Xiong stood with his hands behind his back, his tone somewhat wistful.

"Arrogant?" Chen Yu murmured to himself.

To say there was no such thing would be impossible, after all, he had crushed all the geniuses in Jiangcheng in just three months.

Even martial arts geniuses from the capital and other regions were easily defeated by him during the martial arts exam.

However, his arrogance was more to match the persona of a martial arts fanatic, so that he could challenge others to fights in the future without appearing abrupt.

"This is not criticism." Fang Xiong shook his head. "The difference between arrogance and confidence is only a step. Geniuses are always arrogant."

"This kind of arrogance is a necessity to become a true strongman."

"You need to have unwavering self-confidence in order to overcome all obstacles and make rapid progress in the martial arts world."

"Teacher, what do you mean?" Chen Yu didn't understand what Fang Xiong was trying to say.

"Arrogance is acceptable, but in crucial moments, one must always make choices," Fang Xiong said, ignoring Chen Yu.

"Human beings have limits, and so does martial arts talent."

"Breaking through the limits of Qi and Blood, each transformation is a new level, and the difficulty increases exponentially with each transformation."

"Breaking through the Nine Revolutions can create an invincible foundation, but the talent and resources required are extremely vast. Many geniuses have spent their entire lives on this, wasting their time."

"If they had given up earlier, these geniuses might have gone even higher and further."

Hearing this, Chen Yu finally understood.

Fang Xiong was reminding himself in advance that he didn't need to excessively pursue the path of breaking through the limits of Qi and Blood.

"Don't worry, teacher, I know what I'm doing," Chen Yu said with a smile.

It's normal for Fang Xiong to have this concern.

His current talent is very strong, and it is rare even in the history of Crimson Star.

But compared to the geniuses under this starry sky, there is still a vast distance between them.

However, his talent is not constant. Every time he fights with a strong opponent, it is a process of qualitative change for him, and breaking through the limit of the ninth level is not impossible.

"Kid, my limit back then was breaking the limit and reaching the fourth level. Your talent is not much different from mine, so you can use it as a reference."

Seeing this, Fang Xiong did not continue to persuade him, but instead told Chen Yu about his past experiences as a contrast.

"Back then, I swept through the younger generation of Crimson Star. I was young and ambitious, but I wasted three whole years pursuing the fifth level of breakthrough. Those were the most crucial three years."

"Therefore, I don't want you to become the next me."
