In the world of martial arts, there is a vast fantasy world.

Chapter 156 Resources to Enhance Comprehension

Although the battle video has not yet been released, the news that Shen Xing, ranked eleventh, successfully challenged the sixth-ranked player and was ultimately ranked fourth has spread around the world in a short period of time.

At this moment, at least all the students and martial artists who were paying attention to the rankings of this year's freshmen knew the name Shen Xing!

The news could even gradually spread throughout the entire Federation.

In other words, Shen Xing is now a veritable "celebrity".

"It's just a battle," Shen Xing said with a smile, quite nonchalantly.

"Aren't you excited at all?" Lu Lan couldn't help but ask.

"I'm happy, of course, but—" Shen Xing's lips curled up, "people will only ever truly remember the first place winner."

That's right, Shen Xing is not someone who hasn't experienced fame before.

Therefore, he was very clear about it.

His current reputation is actually nothing. Perhaps only the students of Linjiang School will remember him as a figure who made history for the school, but not to mention the entire Human Federation, even the entire Academy home planet, most people probably won't pay much attention to him.

Unless he actually wins first place!

He will forever bear the title of the best student in the entire planet of the 4032nd class on the planet!

However, the road to the top is always a step-by-step process, and at least for now, Shen Xing is no longer an unknown figure in the Human Federation.

From this point of view alone, he was naturally very pleased.

Whether in his past life or now, he is unwilling to accept a life of being just another ordinary person.

"Alright." Lu Lan seemed a little regretful. "Reputation is one of the trials that powerful martial artists need to undergo, but it seems you don't need this little test."

She was still thinking about how to guide him.

In the past, quite a few outstanding students have encountered problems due to external attention.

After all, they were all teenagers.

But it's clear that his mind is not like that of a teenager at all; he is very mature in every way.

"Let's go," Shen Xing said with a smile. "When we get back, don't forget my research institute."

"I haven't forgotten, the procedures are already underway. By the way, aren't you really going to take a look around Bailing School?"

"No, I'll definitely get stared at if I go out now." Shen Xing glanced at his personal terminal.

Nangong Jinyi, Mi Fei, and even Gu Jiao all sent their congratulations.

The friends he made at Bailing School were all supportive of him, and that was enough.

Speaking of which, it's been a while since I've seen Consort Mi.

Shen Xing still had a deep impression of that naturally charming girl. Putting everything else aside, just in terms of the charm brought by her appearance and temperament, Mi Fei's type was actually more appealing to older men than Nangong Jinyi.

I replied to a few messages and chatted briefly on the way back.

However, that's all.

For Shen Xing right now, beautiful women will only hinder his cultivation speed.

"After returning, I really need to start preparing to leave Wu Domain. Since I don't have a martial arts technique to focus on for the time being, I can only concentrate on the cultivation of the Myriad Dragons Technique and the 'Space' realm." Shen Xing thought to himself.

He also took advantage of the time on the road to review the situation.

Although I won today's match without much difficulty, I can still see my shortcomings.

First and foremost is the talent and aptitude for understanding the essence of martial arts.

A martial artist's talent can actually be divided into two types. One type is talent in cultivation realm, which is nothing more than the three internal factors of special physique, spiritual talent, and cultivation techniques, and the external factors of external resources and auxiliary equipment.

This is also Shen Xing's greatest advantage.

The sheer number of martial arts realms he possesses is enough to push his divine soul talent to its limit, but there will be no shortage of other prodigies as well.

With external resources such as alchemy from another world, plus the equipment and resources of the human federation, they should be able to establish a certain advantage. However, other prodigies may also have high-quality resources from their backing forces, so it's hard to say how great that advantage will be for now.

But the final technique is where the real advantage lies.

In the battle just now, even though his Myriad Dragons Technique was only at the second level of entry, he was still able to compete with Xue Yu's Eight Directions Great Ruins, which was almost at the second level of mastery, in terms of the quality of Yuan Power, and even had the advantage. This fully demonstrates that the quality of his technique is higher than that of his opponent!

A higher quality cultivation technique not only brings a higher quality of Yuan energy, but also a faster cultivation speed.

As long as there are enough resources, Shen Xing believes that he can gradually surpass any other genius in terms of cultivation level.

Being able to break through to the Innate Realm at the fifteenth level is one of the manifestations of talent in this area.

If he can find sufficient and powerful resources in the future, and further improve the quality of the Myriad Dragons Technique, Shen Xing is absolutely confident that he can become the first martial artist to break through the third realm.

He was even the first to break through to the late stage of the Innate Realm!

Moreover, the quality of his Yuan Power and his basic strength are even higher than those of other geniuses at the same level!

However, Shen Xing couldn't do anything about his talent in understanding martial arts concepts.

This thing is even more mysterious.

Besides one's own comprehension, there is also the concept of "matching degree of artistic conception".

Some people have a higher degree of compatibility with certain specific martial arts concepts, and their progress can be rapid.

Xue Yu just now definitely belongs to this category.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to cultivate the Eight Directions Void and the Blade Prison to near perfection in such a short period of time.

It should be noted that Shen Xing has also put a lot of effort into the Lightning Flash and Phantom Movement techniques, but he is still only at the entry level of the second realm.

The quality and difficulty of cultivating these two disciplines are not even comparable to "Knife Prison".

This is pure talent suppression.

However, he was the one being suppressed.

"In the eyes of ordinary people, I am also a special type of genius with a very high compatibility with the Myriad Dragons Technique. The Myriad Dragons Technique can exert a stronger power on me than other martial artists who cultivate the Myriad Dragons Technique. However, this is actually fake. In terms of martial arts intent level cultivation, I don't have any advantage. I rely entirely on the dragon-type martial arts intent from another world to accumulate quality." Shen Xing thought of this and also had a headache.

In fact, his compatibility with the Wanlong Method is also very high, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to learn it so easily.

But clearly, there are always stronger players out there.

Future competitors will likely include prodigies of Xue Yu's caliber.

However, he couldn't think of any good solutions at the moment, or rather, the only solution was to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, relying on the basic strength advantage brought by his realm and the quality of his cultivation techniques to achieve victory.

"If only there were resources that could improve comprehension. Maybe there really are." Shen Xing suddenly thought of this and, before returning to Linchuan School, quickly asked Lu Lan about it.

"Improving comprehension? Yes, there is, but it's extremely expensive." Lu Lan spread her hands and said helplessly, "You can probably imagine, for those rich and powerful people, cultivation talent can be directly accumulated by the number of martial arts intents, but comprehension can't be improved. So this type of resource is priceless and unavailable. The most famous one is 'Enlightenment Tea'."

"Enlightenment Tea?" Shen Xing keenly grasped the key point.

"Yes, this is an absolute luxury. Even the lowest grade of Enlightenment Tea can sell for a staggering 100 million per gram! With your current citizen level, you could try buying some, but it's limited. Unless you use military merit points within the military system, the lowest grade of Enlightenment Tea would have negligible effect on a prodigy like you." Lu Lan paused, then continued, "Higher grade Enlightenment Tea also exists, but it's extremely difficult to obtain! 'Priceless' doesn't even begin to describe it, because it never enters the market; there's no price to speak of. If you can maintain your position in the top ten for a month, you might be able to get a high-grade one."

"A month?" Shen Xing's eyes lit up slightly.

He understood what Lu Lan meant.

"In previous years, the Federation would usually offer a reward for freshmen to compete for rankings about a month after they entered the Innate Realm. The top ten would each receive a quality item, so if you're interested, you'd better not be squeezed out of the top ten this month," Lu Lan joked.

"Don't worry," Shen Xing said with a smile.

But what he was thinking at that moment was that if there really were magical items among the extraordinary resources that could improve comprehension and help one comprehend the essence of martial arts, then the other world would most likely have the same.

In terms of extraordinary resources, the other world is clearly much richer.

Even the battlefields of other worlds might not be able to compare to it.

It was formed over countless years in a mild and rich environment of elemental energy, an advantage that the Human Federation cannot currently possess.

Moreover, if there are corresponding extraordinary resources, there might also be corresponding alchemy techniques!

"We must leave Wuyu as soon as possible and go to a wider, more powerful place!" Shen Xing became even more determined.

Wu Yu can no longer offer him much help.

When she was sending Lu Lan back to the academy, she suddenly added, "By the way, your villa has been planned. It will be located at the research institute address prepared for you. It's super luxurious, and ordinary innate students shouldn't even think about applying for it."

"Is that so?" Shen Xing smiled slightly. "Then thank you very much."

"Keep working hard, that's the best way to thank the school. If you can really get first place, the principal will treat you like an older brother," Lu Lan said with a smile, making a small joke about the principal.

"Then I'll give it a try no matter what," Shen Xing said with a smile.

He then flew toward the address Lu Lan had sent him. Unlike the previous locations which were near the academy, this one was on the outskirts of Linjiang City.

However, with flying cars around, there are no problems with transportation.

He can now freely apply for high-speed access, even supersonic flight over cities, and can reach any place in minutes.

Soon, he saw a tall, square building, 200 meters long and 200 meters wide, covering an area larger than a football field and running track. Although it wasn't very tall, it was still over 100 meters high, divided into twelve floors, with the top floor being a luxurious villa.

It has everything: a car parking area, a swimming pool, and a battleground.

This place covers an area of ​​40,000 square meters!
