Li Suifeng

Realm: Awakening 1st Stage

Physique: 56

Spirit: 52

Talent: Great Sun Light (S-level), Mad Crocodile Skin (A-grade)

Cultivation Method: Eight Desolations Limitless Skill (First Level), Guantian Mountain Spirit Refining Method (Second Level)

Martial Arts: Hell-Quaking Mad Blade Art (Proficient), Celestial Light Long Fist (Perfected), Iron Stance Skill (Proficient) (Can be deduced)

Talent Points: 1010

After a splurge of points, only one thousand Talent Points remained, and the personal panel changed, with the most significant change being the mental strength.

Because the Guantian Mountain Spirit Refining Method had risen to the Second Level, his mental strength also increased to 52 points, only 4 points behind his physique.

“I'm indeed going further and further down the path of balanced development.”

Li Suifeng nodded in satisfaction. As Xu Yan said, Elemental Type Talent martial artists and Physical-type Talent martial artists pursue different paths, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.

But in the future, Li Suifeng would not face this problem. Firstly, his physique and spirit were developing in a balanced way, so there would not be too much of a difference.

Secondly, the number of Li Suifeng'S-level Talent S-level was not constant.

In the future, by killing powerful demon beasts one after another, he might obtain a third, a fourth... or even more Talent S-level.

As long as he had enough Talent S-level, what shortcomings could there be?

“The Guantian Mountain Spirit Refining Method is already at the Second Level, but my mental value hasn't surpassed my physique value... It seems the Eight Desolations Limitless Skill is too strong, and the physique increase it brings far exceeds that of a Spirit Rank cultivation method...”

The more powerful the cultivation method a martial artist practices, the more benefits they receive. The Eight Desolations Limitless Skill, as an Earth-grade cultivation method, was a level stronger than the Spirit Rank Guantian Mountain Spirit Refining Method.

Even if it was only at the First Level, the physique increase it brought was incredibly exaggerated, even surpassing the increase from the Second Level of the Guantian Mountain Spirit Refining Method.

“For me, it'S-level actually not difficult to catch up my mental strength to my physique. I just need to learn a few more Spirit Refining Methods. Of course, the premise is that I have enough academic credits.”

Li Suifeng'S-level eyes gleamed as he looked at his wristband.

The life force displayed on the dial was 108.58.

Below that were two more lines of text.

“Life force requirement for a Second Stage martial artist: 140”

“Estimated completion time: Three months”

“This super wristband is very advanced; it can even estimate the time it will take me to break through my realm? But this estimation isn't accurate, because I have a cheat!”

Li Suifeng smiled slightly and summoned his Demon Hunting Blade into his hand.

“Whoosh!”

The memories of the Proficient stage Hell-Quaking Mad Blade Art flooded his mind.

Li Suifeng swung his arm and slashed a blade through the air.

“Whoosh!”

The strong wind generated by the blade traveled over ten meters and landed on the wall.

Amidst a “rustling” sound, dust splattered, and a shallow scratch appeared on the wall.

“Just the blade qi alone can leave a mark on the wall. If the blade were to land on flesh and blood, wouldn't it be able to cut it in half directly?”

“Is this the power of the Proficient Hell-Quaking Mad Blade Art? It'S-level truly terrifying!”

Li Suifeng grinned.

...

The next morning.

Entrance to Physical Training Hall No. 3.

All new students gathered here.

Unlike high schools, which usually only have one Physical Training Hall, Limitless Academy was wealthy and had a total of nine Physical Training Hall S-level, large and small.

Each Physical Training Hall had different internal facilities and functions.

It was said that Physical Training Hall No. 3 contained a teleportation array leading to the Third Secret Realm Trial Secret Realm controlled by the academy.

In a corner of the crowd, Yu Yue craned his neck, looking left and right, quite astonished: “There must be over a thousand people here, right? Did Limitless Academy recruit so many new students this year?”

Li Suifeng was also quite surprised.

There were only twenty-three students from Xiangnan Province who flew with him.

But at this moment, there were over a thousand students around him.

A bit exaggerated!

“General Heavenly Dream'S-level prophecy of a great disaster could descend at any time. To better cope with it, our academy has relaxed its admission requirements, so this year'S-level student intake is larger than in previous years.”

Beside him, Instructor Li Guangyao explained: “Among the thirty-six provinces of Long Nation, your Xiangnan Province has the fewest new students. The new students from other provinces are all close to thirty people...”

Everyone understood. Li Suifeng raised an eyebrow and asked, “How many people received the S-level-grade admission reward this time?”

Li Guangyao rubbed his nose: “I don't know that, but I heard it'S-level more than in previous years. Those who can get an S-level-grade reward generally have SS Talent...”

Li Suifeng'S-level eyes revealed a fighting spirit.

SS Talent, huh?

He wondered how strong these students were, and if they could withstand one of his blade strikes?

“Students, please enter the hall.”

After a while, the Physical Training Hall'S-level door opened, and a voice came from inside.

Li Suifeng and the others bid farewell to the Instructor and followed the crowd into the hall.

Inside the empty Physical Training Hall, all equipment and facilities had been moved out, leaving only a high platform.

A group of school leaders stood on the high platform, scrutinizing the new students below.

“Among this year'S-level students, there are 24 SS Talent holders, double the number from the past. Although a great disaster looms, our Limitless Academy'S-level luck is clearly good.”

Vice Principal Hua Rongzhi, surrounded by the crowd, smiled and sighed with emotion.

She had a head full of silver hair, a face full of wrinkles, and a gentle demeanor, the typical image of a kind-faced old woman.

The Head of Physical Training Hall No. 3, standing nearby, said: “Fellow colleagues, since there are more new students this time, you have more choices for taking disciple S-level. Remember not to just pick people based on strong Talent; you also need to consider whether your abilities are compatible with the students' Talent S-level.”

The various important figures standing around were all professors and mentors from different departments of the academy.

They had come this time not only to supervise the intensive training but also to select suitable students to take as disciple S-level.

“Vice Principal, that bastard Xu Yan didn't abide by the rules you set and took a disciple in advance.”

The scruffy-bearded Zhao Wangsun came to the old woman to complain.

Because there were many geniuses this year, Hua Rongzhi planned this intensive training. On one hand, it was to help the geniuses improve quickly, and on the other hand, it was to give the geniuses a chance to perform so that these professors and mentors could observe them and take disciple S-level after the training ended.

But Zhao Wangsun and a few others actually rushed to take disciple S-level before the intensive training even began.

Wasn't that a bit hasty?

“What'S-level going on?”

Hua Rongzhi looked at Xu Yan.

The latter grinned and said, “Principal Hua, Zhao Wangsun started the matter of taking disciple S-level yesterday. He couldn't compete with me, so he maliciously complained. If you want to punish me, you can, but you can't let Zhao Wangsun off either; he also took a disciple.”

Hua Rongzhi was even more confused.

It was Xu Yunzhi who explained the situation in detail.

“A child with only an S-level Talent caused such a dispute among you? What kind of magic does he possess?”

After listening, Hua Rongzhi was very curious about this “Li Suifeng.”

“Principal Hua, when the intensive training begins, you'll know what kind of magic my disciple possesses!”

Xu Yan showed a confident smile.

Zhao Wangsun, on the other hand, gritted his teeth in anger and snorted, “I admit that Li Suifeng is very good, but my new disciple Ma Zhanghao is also good. He will definitely defeat Li Suifeng in the intensive training!”

“Pfft!”

Xu Yan couldn't help but laugh loudly.

Zhao Wangsun became even more furious, howling softly.

“Alright, you guys, calm down. Don't keep the students waiting too long.”

The Head of the Physical Training Hall called out and then looked at Hua Rongzhi.

The latter nodded and smiled, “Students, I am Hua Rongzhi, the Vice Principal of this academy, and also the person in charge of this intensive training...”

After a simple speech, Hua Rongzhi went straight to the core: “The content of this intensive training is very simple. Once it begins, you will be teleported to the Third Trial Secret Realm. The Trial Secret Realm is similar to the Trial Secret Realm where you took your college entrance exam, but there are no demon beasts inside...”

As soon as these words came out, the students were confused.

The practical assessment for the college entrance exam was for them to kill demon beasts in the secret realm.

But if there were no demon beasts in the Third Trial Secret Realm, what were they supposed to do?

One student, who was quite clever, exclaimed, “Principal, are you telling us to fight each other?”

Hua Rongzhi smiled and nodded: “That'S-level right. The content of this intensive training is for you to fight each other in the secret realm, to train your combat skills, and to temper your martial arts will!”

“Hiss!”

For a moment, gasps and exclamations filled the air. This answer clearly exceeded all the students' expectations.

Even Li Suifeng in the crowd frowned: “No demon beasts to kill? What the hell?”

He had guessed last night that this intensive training might involve killing demons in the secret realm.

Now it seemed that was not the case.

His opponents were the surrounding students?

“The Trial Secret Realm has a huge barrier that initially covers the entire area. Every once in a while, the barrier will shrink. At that time, you need to ensure you remain within the barrier. If you unfortunately fall outside the barrier, you will feel suffocated, dizzy, and even be in life-threatening danger due to the air pressure.”

“When the barrier shrinks to its limit, the final ten students who have not been eliminated will be considered the winners of this intensive training and will receive varying academic credit rewards.”

Hua Rongzhi continued to explain with a smile: “Your combat records will be monitored in real-time, and the final top ten rankings will also be determined by the number of opponents you eliminate.”

“The first-place winner of this intensive training will receive 100 academic credits!”

“The second-place winner will receive 50 academic credits!”

“The third-place winner will receive 30 academic credits!”

“Fourth to sixth place will receive 20 academic credits!”

“Seventh to tenth place will receive 10 academic credits!”

“As for those outside the top ten, there will be no academic credit rewards!”

As Hua Rongzhi finished explaining all the rules, the scene immediately erupted.

Many students showed excited and greedy expressions.

After entering the academy, they knew that every single academic credit was extremely valuable.

The first place in the intensive training could get 100 academic credits?

If they could get it, they basically wouldn't have to worry for the entire semester, right?

“Seems a bit... interesting?”

On one side of the crowd, Li Suifeng murmured to himself, his eyes burning with intense fighting spirit.

Although this intensive training wouldn't allow him to kill demons to gain Talent Points, getting a hundred academic credits was still very good.

“Principal, can we bring weapons to this intensive training?”

Amidst the clamor, a student asked loudly.

Hua Rongzhi answered with a smile: “Those who enter the Trial Secret Realm can each carry one weapon. The Trial Secret Realm actually contains various rewards, including temporary equipment that can enhance defense, speed, and attack, as well as qi and blood spirit pill S-level and mental spirit pill S-level that directly increase strength.

mental spirit pill S-level can directly increase mental strength when consumed, and qi and blood spirit pill S-level can increase qi and blood when consumed.”

“The total number of these rewards will not be too many; they are extremely limited. You will need to rely on your own experience and luck to search for them.”

“Also, you can fight freely in the Trial Secret Realm. I have a way to revive you, so there'S-level no need to worry about casualties.”

Hua Rongzhi spoke a bit more, and the students became even more excited.

Even if they didn't achieve good results in the end, it would still be good to find some mental and qi and blood spirit pill S-level in the Trial Secret Realm to consume!

“Isn't this a battle royale?” Li Suifeng muttered softly in the crowd.

As a former Chicken Dinner King, Li Suifeng was quite familiar with the rules of this intensive training.

The Trial Secret Realm might be very large, but as the “circle shrinks,” the students would eventually gather in one area and would also fight each other due to factors like scores and rewards.

The fighting might be brutal, but it would also increase the students' combat experience and temper their martial arts will accordingly.

This was the true purpose of the school.

“Alright everyone, the intensive training is about to begin. Please get ready.”

As Hua Rongzhi'S-level voice fell, a huge teleportation array appeared beneath everyone'S-level feet.

Flashes of white light continuously swept through, and students, including Li Suifeng, disappeared from their original spots.

...

The world was vast.

Green grass everywhere.

After Li Suifeng opened his eyes, he found himself in a primitive, expansive space.

It indeed looked similar to the Trial Secret Realm from the college entrance exam.

“Wow! I can pick up defensive gear right at the start? This is too good!”

Before he could even check his surroundings, an exclamation came.

Li Suifeng looked in the direction of the sound and saw a ball of spiritual light floating on the grass not far away.

Inside the spiritual light was a folded black cloth, clearly a piece of “equipment” from the secret realm.

A student picked up the black cloth and opened it; it was a black cloak!

He quickly put on the cloak, and with a “whoosh,” he actually started to sprint, excitedly shouting, “Wow! This spiritual light cloak can actually increase my speed? It'S-level amazing, so cool!”

While running wildly, the student noticed a young man standing on the grass.

Aside from being a bit taller, handsomer, and having a more refined aura, the young man had no other distinguishing features and was instantly regarded as an eyesore by the student: “Just picked up equipment and already encountered a fat sheep?”

“To be the first one eliminated by me, Liu Dezhi, considers yourself unlucky!”

A spiritual light flashed across the spiritual light cloak, and Liu Dezhi suddenly accelerated, rushing towards the young man.

He pulled out a dagger, intending to end the young man.

Who would have thought that the originally dazed young man'S-level hand suddenly held a 1.2-meter black blade.

“Clang!”

The black blade did not leave its sheath, but it still made a metallic scraping sound as it cut through the air.

Liu Dezhi felt a sharp pain in his neck and was engulfed by a dizzying sensation. When he came to, he saw a headless body, wearing a spiritual light cloak, holding up a dagger and standing in place.

From its severed neck, blood gushed out like a fountain.

“Is that my body? Where'S-level my head!!!”

As soon as this thought flashed through Liu Dezhi'S-level mind, his consciousness plunged into darkness.

At the same time, Li Suifeng held his Demon Hunting Blade and looked at Liu Dezhi'S-level head rolling on the ground, expressionless: “Is this kid that weak? I took him out in one strike?”

“Wait, I think I killed someone?”

Li Suifeng suddenly woke up, showing a startled expression.

The next moment, “Whoosh whoosh!” two spiritual lights appeared from nowhere and landed on Liu Dezhi'S-level body and head.

Immediately after, Liu Dezhi'S-level head flew up and reattached to his severed neck, and flesh and blood grew around his neck, eventually healing completely.

The spiritual light enveloped Liu Dezhi'S-level body; he didn't wake up, but he seemed to have vital signs again.

“Don't worry, he won't die,” Hua Rongzhi'S-level voice sounded in his ear. Li Suifeng let out a long breath and suddenly understood.

Did the Vice Principal revive this unlucky student? To be able to bring someone back from the dead, was this the Vice Principal'S-level Talent? Is it that amazing?
