Douluo Continent: Awakening the Original Martial Soul at the Start.

Chapter 63 Back to School

Li Fei kept thinking about feasible methods. There were many novels in his previous life that introduced the cultivation of Qi and Blood, but the only systematic ones were Chinese martial arts, the Qi and Blood Martial Arts of the world's top martial arts, and the Human Immortal Martial Arts. However, he did not understand the cultivation system knowledge in them and could only explore by trial and error.

However, the basic cultivation of all martial arts, Qi and Blood Martial Arts, and Human Immortal Martial Arts involves using Qi and Blood to temper all parts of the body in order to achieve a state of perfection. In martial arts, this is called "seeing the gods without being destroyed," while in Human Immortal Martial Arts, it is called "Martial Saint."

In the history of Douluo Continent, the original martial soul also has the realm of flawless golden body. Moreover, the martial saint in Yang Shen is characterized by the unity of spirit and body, which is very similar to the state of the soul saint.

"The foundation of Qi and Blood Martial Arts is Qi and Blood tempering of the bones. I have no foundation or concept of Qi and Blood cultivation, and bone tempering is too dangerous. For now, I will focus on the concepts of Chinese martial arts and Human Immortal Martial Arts, and cultivate step by step!"

After thinking for a long time, Li Fei made up his mind to first create a way to cultivate blood and qi based on Chinese martial arts and the martial arts of immortals. At this moment, he was very glad that he had chosen his soul skill. If he had not had the perception soul skill, he might not have been able to discover the power of blood and qi.

"Whether it's the three strengths of traditional Chinese martial arts or the martial arts of the immortals, both require opening up one's meridians. I've already accomplished that. Next, I'll use my advantage of having all my meridians open to create a method for cultivating qi and blood!"

"My second soul skill, Indestructible Vajra, allows me to enter a state of perfect unity. In this state, my body, spirit, soul power, and blood and qi are perfectly integrated. I can cultivate my soul power while also refining my blood and qi. However, the growth of blood and qi is passive. Nevertheless, I can use this state to explore ways to cultivate blood and qi!"

Without hesitation, Li Fei got up and instantly got into the zone, starting to practice the fist technique he had created, using his muscles to guide his soul power and a trace of blood and qi to temper his body.

"No, the amount of Qi and blood being drawn in is too small. Although it is extremely effective in tempering the body, the power of Qi and blood will also leak out from the pores during the process. Furthermore, I have difficulty controlling Qi and blood. It is not appropriate to cultivate in a state of perfect unity right now. What I should do first is to open and close my pores at any time and control my Qi and blood."

After performing a set of fist techniques, Li Fei clearly sensed his soul power, blood qi, muscles, and other states. He quickly realized his problem: if he wanted to cultivate blood qi, the tempering of all aspects of his body must focus on blood qi, rather than the passive tempering he was doing now.

"First, you must learn to control your Qi and blood, and the most basic way to do this is through Zhan Zhuang (standing meditation)!"

Recalling that the basic cultivation of Qi and blood in Yang Shen and Chinese martial arts all involve the horse stance, Li Fei withdrew from the state of perfect harmony. He didn't know how to stand in a stance, but he still knew the horse stance.

Squat slightly, recall the state of riding a horse in your mind, and your body begins to rise and fall, constantly adjusting your center of gravity, feeling the rhythm of blood and qi flowing with your breath.

Moreover, Li Fei used his perception soul skill to sense the condition inside his body and, relying on the super strong control of his main body martial soul, began to try to close his pores.

"The human body has too many pores, so using martial spirit to control and close them won't work. Should we resort to the method from novels in my past life—making our fur stand on end?!"

Putting aside the effects of the horse stance, closing the pores was extremely difficult. Since Li Fei could not divide his mental energy into hundreds of millions of parts in an instant, he gave up without hesitation after trying it once.

After thinking for a moment, Li Fei recalled the emergency response of animals when their fur bristles, which is the state of their pores closing. It is an instinctive state when the body senses danger, and humans also have this state. Therefore, as long as this state can be activated at any time, the pores can be controlled.

Recalling the dangerous feeling of being targeted by a top predator in the Star Dou Great Forest, Li Fei began to constantly simulate that state, hoping to master it.

In the following period, besides cultivation, Li Fei spent the rest of his time sensing and controlling his qi and blood, mastering the closing of his pores, and occasionally familiarizing himself with the application of his Fiery Eyes in battle.

This training lasted for three months. He not only mastered the control and perception of opening and closing his pores and his qi and blood at any time, but also created some simple qi and blood cultivation methods to temper various parts of his body using the power of vibration. However, this process was very slow and required accumulation over time.

Furthermore, Li Fei's control over his body when his martial soul is activated is more than three times stronger than before. He can not only control all the muscles in his body to instantly unleash power, but also slightly move the position of his internal organs to avoid vital points.

"Old monster, I need to go back to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. I've been on leave for over two years. I promised to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament, which starts in two months. I need to go back and finish my graduation procedures while I'm at it!"

"Go if you want to leave! I've been living alone since before you came, so it won't matter if you're gone!" Dugu Bo said calmly, but a hint of loneliness and reluctance was hidden in his expression.

"That's good. I thought you'd be reluctant to part with me!" Li Fei chuckled, packed up the immortal herbs for his family, and walked out of the poison array with a hint of reluctance.

Over the past two years, Li Fei has come to regard Dugu Bo as his elder. Dugu Bo not only gave him advice during his cultivation but also taught him a great deal about medicine, which helped him gain a deeper understanding of medical skills.

Li Fei temporarily kept the two immortal herbs, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Delicate Vegetable. If he were to consume these two herbs, the combined effect of their two extreme attributes would create an annihilating force, potentially causing the power of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum within his body to dissipate.

Moreover, the medicinal power of the three kinds of immortal herbs is extremely strong. Consuming them may cause conflicts in the body, which could be fatal. It is better to keep them for now.

For him, who already possesses a martial soul, the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum is more useful. Therefore, Li Fei plans to save these two immortal herbs until he has fully absorbed the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum and cultivated an indestructible body, and then take the time to absorb them.

……

"So you finally decided to come back! It's been two years already, why didn't you cultivate for another two years?! I've been in the academy for ten years, and I've never seen a student like you!" Qiu Lin looked at Li Fei with exasperation, gritting his teeth and speaking angrily.

"Teacher, look, I'm back! Not only that, my soul power has reached level 45!" Li Fei said with a smile. As he spoke, he used the ability of the Condensation Ring to wrap four soul rings, one yellow and one purple, around his body, and his soul power steadily stopped at level 45.

"It really is level 45! You actually increased your soul power by eleven levels in just over two years!" Qiu Lin exclaimed in disbelief as he sensed Li Fei's soul power fluctuations.

"That's right! With the guidance of a Title Douluo, if you didn't have that kind of strength, you'd just kill yourself." Li Fei said modestly.

"I never expected your soul power to surpass that of Team One's captain, Zhong Weibiao. The Dream Sect, seeing you hadn't returned, has already removed you from Team One. However, with your current strength, even without perfect teamwork, you can still defeat other teams." Qiu Lin looked at Li Fei with surprise turning to astonishment: "Come on, let's go see the Dream Sect!"
