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

Chapter 43: The Pinnacle of Talent

With the medical technology of the Federation of Humanity, even if an arm is broken into several pieces, as long as it can be found, it can be easily reattached and is not considered a serious injury. However, if the severed arm is completely damaged or cannot be found, then it is a different story.

Although it can stimulate cell regeneration, it can cause considerable damage to the human body, seriously affecting cultivation. Moreover, it takes a lot of time to nurture and train the newly formed limbs to return to their original level.

This is probably why the other party would retire from the battlefield and become a teacher.

I just don't know why they'd come here to teach a group of meat trainers.

They are qualified even to train the bones or marrow of a coach.

"It seems we have a few new students this week. My surname is Lin, the same as the character for double wood. You can just call me Teacher Lin." Teacher Lin glanced at Shen Xing and the new students, and said calmly, "The rules of the Meat Training Class are simple: strength is paramount. By strength, I don't mean qi and blood or punching power, but the outcome of battles. True martial arts masters are only born on the battlefield!"

Shen Xing wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Teacher Lin's attitude seemed somewhat different from the previous teachers.

Even more indifferent.

In those eyes, which were filled with innate majesty, there seemed to be a lingering sense of death.

"Let's begin. Each of you choose an opponent to challenge."

After a brief introduction, Teacher Lin announced the start of the lesson. Behind him, a projection appeared out of thin air, showing the current rankings of all the students in the class.

There are thirty-two people in total.

Shen Xing noticed that he was ranked twenty-first.

It seems that twelve people joined the class last week, and this ranking should be based on the order of their joining.

"Is that all?" He looked at An Yiyi beside him.

"If you perform exceptionally well, the teacher will still offer guidance." An Yiyi knew what Shen Xing was asking.

"Well, it's rare to meet a Xiantian (a type of innate talent)." Shen Xing said with some regret.

But I've gotten used to it; that's just how the Martial Arts Academy is—basically, they let things run their own course.

In reality, apart from demonstrating the essence of martial arts, there is really nothing that needs to be taught in detail.

You can look up relevant knowledge yourself, or even memorize it with a single click using a learning device. As for moves and power generation, the basic training exercises already cover everything. As for combat skills and combat instincts, no amount of explanation can compare to personal experience.

He followed An Yiyi to collect the battle uniform.

This is a combat protective suit used during the muscle-building phase, but it mainly protects the joints, internal organs, neck, and head. Just by looking at the five nanomedical pods placed on both sides, you can imagine that the combat here is definitely not child's play.

Getting injured is normal.

Shen Xing also learned what kind of equipment the meat-training class had.

These are martial arts training aids, five in total!

He glanced at the rankings: "Top five."

An Yiyi ranked third.

"The top twenty will receive double the resources, the top ten will receive triple, and the top five will receive quadruple." An Yiyi noticed Shen Xing's gaze and explained, "As for the first place, in addition to receiving five times the resources, they can also choose a high-level martial arts intent. Accumulating first place over four weeks will allow them to exchange it for a high-quality first-level intent."

"So, your goal is to be number one?" Shen Xing was also somewhat amazed by the richness of the reward.

The first-place martial arts realm, plus five times the amount of Yuan Qi Pills, is already worth nearly twenty million.

This is still a weekly reward.

Indeed, this is the true level of genius; the support from the school is unimaginable for ordinary students.

"There's no hope this week." An Yiyi shook her head. She looked at a boy standing alone on the edge, a hint of fighting spirit surging in her eyes. "He was already in the late stage of Body Refinement last week, plus a martial arts intent that's close to completion. I'm no match for him."

"Late stage of meat training?" Shen Xing followed her gaze.

The rankings already show this person's name: Bai Shayan.

He's only been practicing martial arts for a month and a half, yet he's already reached the late stage of Body Refinement and even mastered a martial arts intent that's close to perfection. His strength and performance are truly impressive.

Even Shen Xing himself couldn't compare.

However, it didn't put too much pressure on him.

Later on, he should be able to reach that level in four or five days at most. As for his martial arts intent, his "space" has improved rapidly and is already at a minor level. In addition, considering the quality of his "space," even now, he still has a certain chance of winning.

However, he did not want to expose the existence of the "space" to the Federation of Humanities.

"So he's the strongest freshman in our district?" Shen Xing looked the boy up and down and noticed that the boy had a somewhat gloomy aura. Just standing there, he gave people the feeling that someone owed him a lot of money.

"No, he isn't." An Yiyi shook her head again, a hint of seriousness appearing on her face. "The first place winner is Bai Shahai, and he has already trained his bones."

"Bone training?" Shen Xing took a deep breath, and this time he truly felt the pressure.

Even at his fastest pace during the Bone Refining stage, it would take him about ten days to have a chance to make a breakthrough.

And who knows how many steps the other side has taken forward.

Also, this name.

"He is Bai Shayan's twin brother." An Yiyi confirmed Shen Xing's guess as if she could have guessed what he was thinking.

"No wonder." Shen Xing looked at Bai Shayan again and understood why he had that expression.

Twin brothers are from the same family and have similar talents, but the difference in their abilities can easily make people look down on them, thinking that it's because they can't work as hard or have as much willpower.

Having an overly outstanding sibling can bring considerable pressure.

However, he is not ready to challenge the white sandstone at the moment, so he did not look at it any further.

I looked directly at fifth place.

"Tell me about the strength of the fifth-ranked player," he asked softly.

An Yiyi quickly turned her head, and her already large eyes widened even more.

Shen Xing's ability to advance from the mid-stage of Skin Refining to the Body Refining stage in just one week was already quite a surprise to her. However, the fifth-ranked person had already reached the mid-stage of Body Refining last week.

"My current Qi and Blood is 24.8," Shen Xing said without hiding anything. "Even if my Qi and Blood are a little lacking, it shouldn't be by much. My Leg Axe is almost fully developed, so I'll have a chance to try it out eventually."

"24.8." An Yiyi's mouth was slightly open.

This isn't even the mid-stage of a recent breakthrough!

How could it be so fast!

She even felt a distinct sense of urgency.

In terms of the speed of progress in realm alone, Shen Xing's performance has already surpassed hers by a considerable margin.

Originally, her impression of Shen Xing was that he was a classmate with good potential and a good personality, someone she could potentially be friends with. But now she suddenly realized that this was not just good potential, but an absolute display of top-notch talent!

"If you hadn't been delayed during your skin-training period, you might have been able to rival Bai Sha Hai," An Yiyi couldn't help but say, feeling genuinely sorry for him.
