Bab 12: The Requirements for Martial Arts
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The students were appalled. How could Qin Feng talk to Senior Ye Shuang like that? An ordinary person would not have the courage.
Ye Shuang was like the head of a country. Everyone wanted to get on her good side. Not only was Qin Feng ungrateful, but he was also really arrogant. Did he hate her? If he was someone powerful and rich, then he could act this way. However, he was a nobody!
"Okay."
Ye Shuang was a Houtian-level martial artist. Her family was also wealthy. Basically, she was not losing anything. The rejection did not make her feel awkward. After replying with one word, she put away the bottle of medicine. Her expression was calm. It was as if nothing had happened.
Still, how could Qin Feng refuse? He was not even qualified to be a martial artist yet. His decision did not seem wise at all. Li Fei had the same thought but once again, this matter had nothing to do with him. Besides, he had seen countless people who value their pride over anything else. It was their life and they could do whatever they wished with it.
Shortly after, Li Fei and Ye Shuang left.
Qin Feng had left a huge impression on everyone. Nobody expected him to pass Jiang University's assessment. Rumors about Qin Feng angering Ye Shuang also began to spread. The higher-ups were furious but they did not punish Qin Feng for the time being. Otherwise, people would think it was an order from Ye Shuang. If that happened, the Ye family would blame the school's principal and things would only get worse.
Ye Shuang was talented and had a good background. One word from her could immediately ruin the principal's life. Hence, the higher-ups could only stop the students from gossiping. This matter was then resolved without being blown out of proportion.
...
Qin Feng took the bus back to his old house. He did not reject Ye Shuang's offer out of spite. Rather, it was because he already had help. To him, those pills were useless. Even if he took it, the students would still gossip. Moreover, he was confident in his own abilities. Entering Jiang University was only a matter of time. If he had accepted Ye Shuang's help, the university may not believe in his abilities. There was also a high chance the Ye family would misunderstand things again and cause him more problems.
Again, Qin Feng was not holding a grudge against Ye Shuang. He simply wanted to obtain more power first. Words without actions were pointless. In fact, it would only cause embarrassment.
...
'I have to think of a way to learn some cultivation techniques.'
Qin Feng began thinking to himself while he was on the bus.
According to Li Fei's lecture, Qi and blood value were very important to martial artists. Based on those two terms, a normal person would have around fifty points. On the other hand, the lowest-level martial artist had at least one hundred points.
A martial artist could be divided into nine sub-levels.
[ Qi and blood value points ]
[ Level 1: 100 ]
[ Level 2: 200 ]
[ Level 3: 500 ]
[ Level 4: 800 ]
[ Level 5: 1000 ]
[ Level 6: 2000 ]
[ Level 7: 5000 ]
[ Level 8: 8000 ]
[ Level 9: 9900 ]
Cultivation was linked to Qi and blood value. It was the only way to increase it. There were many ways and techniques to cultivate. A person had to study diligently, practice, take pills, and follow experts' guidance. The most important thing when it came to cultivation was the method. Without proper cultivation methods, martial artists would move at a snail's pace. Even if an individual studied diligently and practiced for ten years, they would be surpassed within a month by someone with proper cultivation methods. Martial artists needed to know how to absorb energy into their Qi and blood.
For example, if Qin Feng had a proper cultivation method, then the spiritual fish he ate would increase his attribute points by triple the original amount. Unfortunately, the nutrients were not completely refined. If Qin Feng wanted to stand out in the second assessment, he had to be ten times better than the others.
Qin Feng insisted on entering a famous academy because he wanted to gain more information. Perhaps that could help him solve the old house's mysteries. Moreover, the old house had a limit in the form of cooldowns. If he enrolled in a famous academy, he would regularly gain endless benefits such as social status, wealth, and power.
Moreover, he barely knew anything about martial artists. Needless to say, knowledge was extremely important. At first, he thought only attribute points were important. However, after today's lecture, he learned about the importance of cultivation techniques.
Even if the old house provided him with many items, he could not fully make use of them in his current state. Qin Feng had to think long-term. Nobody became a grandmaster by just swallowing pills. Simple meditation was also not enough.
To Qin Feng, an expert martial artist needed to be strong and experienced. Just one or the other was not enough. Both were required. Besides, if he entered Jiang University, they were not going to stop him from returning home. He could get the best of both worlds!
