Chapter 6  : The Spirit Lives On

After exchanging contact information with Elder Tang, Jiang Ming hurried home.

After a quick wash, he sat on the sofa and a system template appeared before his eyes.

Name: Jiang Ming

Cultivation: Qi Sea Realm (Martial Arts Second Realm)

Cultivation Skills: Yin Yang Fist, Thunderstorm Nine Slashes

Talents: Hundredfold Comprehension, Soul Dominator (Temporary Solidification)

Task: Become the Province Top Scorer in the Martial Arts Exam Preliminary Selection

Many changes took place in the information.

Even Jiang Ming himself couldn’t believe that he would open up a ten-zhang-wide Qi Sea Space. According to Elder Tang, a space larger than one zhang would already make one an unrivaled genius.

But he had ten zhang.

There are no records on the internet about a Dantian Qi Sea Space of ten zhang.

The highest record was only three zhang, and it’s unclear whether it’s true or not.

Jiang Ming clenched his fist, feeling the surging power like a great river, giving him the illusion of being able to smash a building with a single punch.

“Too strong!”

“After the Muscle and Bone Resonance, the power entered the micro level, and I could feel that I could easily kill my past self. As for now? One slap could kill my past self when he had entered the micro level.”

“The potential power feedback from the ten-zhang Qi Sea Space has made my body incredibly strong.”

Jiang Mingfinally understood why the martial arts realm was so significant.

Even if he had only just entered the second realm of martial arts, he was already incredibly strong.

Suppressing the waves in his heart.

There were also changes in the other aspects, but the most attractive to him was the talent column.

[Soul Dominator]:Soul as the foundation; spirit as the application. Your soul characteristics change, your spirit strengthens, and as your cultivation level increases, you possess the potential to become the master of your soul. Immune to most soul curses and spiritual attacks, you can quickly learn similar techniques and see through the essence of the world. Your soul is immortal, and your spirit will last forever.

This is the basic information that the system brought.

As for other abilities? He had to explore them on his own.

Jiang Ming closed his eyes and contemplated, his spiritual senses spreading out, and everything within a ten-meter radius became clear in his mind, albeit veiled by a layer of fog.

Even so, he could detect the slightest changes.

He could also get a general idea of the neighbors and even capture their scents, sensing a special fluctuation, which should be a unique life magnetic field.

It was amazing.

When Jiang Ming opened his eyes, this sense weakened, and as he looked at the cup before him, he reached out and caught it as it wobbled slightly and flew into his hand.

“Am I a superhero now?”

He couldn’t help but laugh.

After a few trials, he found that the weight of the objects he could control could not exceed one kilogram.

The most amazing thing was his immunity to spiritual and soul attacks.

There have been powerful people on Blue Star who controlled the power of the spirit, but there had never been any mention of curses, so it would be hard to say if they would appear when they stepped onto the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield in the future.

In addition, it gets stronger as one’s cultivation level increases, so there is no need to practice separately.

“It should be saved as a trump card to save my life, and not be used easily!”

Since he didn’t know much about it, it was better to keep a low profile.

“Only the Province Top Scorer?”

Jiang Ming felt a bit of a headache.

First, there’s the College Entrance Exam, then the Provincial Exam, and finally, the United States Major Examination to determine the final champion. According to Elder Tang’s words and the records of previous college entrance exams, it would be extremely difficult for him to become the Province Top Scorer in the preliminary selection stage.

Even using mental power was almost impossible.

“It’s because of the powerful martial artists…”

As he raised his hand, a stream of Qi flowed out and quickly dissipated into the air.

He had not yet practiced suitable cultivation techniques and combat skills for the Qi Sea Realm and could not effectively use Qi.

In the Martial Arts Second Realm of the Qi Sea Realm, if Qi is sufficient, it can already be used to enhance one’s fists and weapons, and even forming a detached attack.

As for the Third layer of martial arts?

It would be even stronger.

“Ten Thousand Realms Tower, should I really go?”

Jiang Ming frowned.

Now that he had tasted the sweetness of the Soul Dominator talent, giving it up was not an option.

After having lunch, he took a short rest before rushing to school.

When he arrived at the school gate, he saw a girl walking over from the other side, Yun Xiyao from the next class. She brightened her eyes when she saw Jiang Ming and waved, “Wait a moment, fellow student.”

She quickly walked over.

Swiveling her waist.

“What’s up?” Jiang Ming furrowed his brows slightly.

“Well…” Yun Xiyao hesitated, tucking her hair behind her ears, her voice playfully said, “Classmate, I saw you practicing at Jinshui Park, I didn’t expect we go to the same school.”

“I’m in Class Four, you’re in Class Five!”

“Hehe, what a coincidence! Classmate, I saw your understanding of Shock Fist far exceeds mine, could you give me some pointers?” Yun Xiyao asked with expectation amidst her coyness.

“Why not ask your teacher?”

“Our class instructor is a middle-aged man, his gaze on people is very… very uncomfortable, and I heard he didn’t even cultivate his Shock Fist to the Great Success Realm back then. After entering the Qi Sea Realm, he probably won’t practice it anymore.”

“I see, what’s the problem? Just tell me!” Jiang Ming hesitated a bit, but nodded in agreement since they were from the same school.

“It’s the ninth movement, no matter how hard I try, I can’t perform it perfectly and fluently with my breathing technique.” Yun Xiyao quickly said.

“Speaking about it is useless, let’s do this, you demonstrate once for me to see.” Jiang Ming said, pointing to the side and walking over.

“Alright!” Yun Xiyao was overjoyed and began her demonstration after walking over. Jiang Ming’s voice came over, “Stop!”

Yun Xiyao froze.

Jiang Ming adjusted her left shoulder and said, “Before the ninth movement, your inhale should be deeper, sinking into your navel. Your left shoulder should drop by three points, and your wrist slightly bent.”

“Stop it!” At this moment, a furious shout came from the distance, as a male student dashed towards them with incredible speed.

As fast as a cheetah, he quickly reached them and angrily shouted, “How dare you molest Xiyao in broad daylight? You’re asking for death!”

Jiang Ming frowned and launched a counterattack before the other student could land a hit on him. He used the soft power from Yin Yang Fist.

Watching as the other student stopped, Jiang Ming said, “Classmate, did you understand the situation before acting?”

He then looked at Yun Xiyao, who seemed excited. This left him puzzled.

“I saw it with my own eyes!” The male student attacked once more and aimed a punch at Jiang Ming’s chest but was once again repelled.

“That’s twice now!” Jiang Ming’s expression darkened. “Yun, aren’t you going to explain?”

“You audacious guy, how dare you threaten our goddess right in front of me? Seeking death!” The male student became even more enraged, leaping up and kicking toward Jiang Ming’s shoulder.

He was still somewhat rational, not aiming for the neck.

“No more third or fourth chances!” Jiang Ming was utterly annoyed. In his eyes, the opponent’s speed was extremely slow.

He raised his palm like a knife, striking the other student’s leg and then knocked him away with another palm. The male student fell to the ground, unable to get up.

Jiang Ming looked at Yun Xiyao expressionlessly, but she gazed back at him with bright, expectant eyes, as if saying: You’re so amazing!

For fuck’s sake!

Jiang Ming walked over to the male student and looked at his pained expression. In a low voice, he said, “She asked me for guidance on her Shock Fist practice. I was just giving her some pointers. You attacked me without knowing the situation, and she didn’t stop you or explain. She didn’t comfort or explain to you after you’ve been continuously defeated, do you understand?”

“You must be really into her, but look at the result? Ha!”

“Brown noser, you’ve become nothing but a dog in the end!”

“Look at you, you’re just like a dog, a pitiful dog no one cares for!”

Jiang Ming left after saying this.

He originally thought Yun Xiyao’s dedication to her morning training at the park showed good character, but the outcome made him want to curse.

His good mood was completely ruined for the day.

“Classmate, why are you leaving?” Yun Xiyao called out, puzzled.

By giving her pointers, wasn’t he pursuing her?

After defeating another pursuer, shouldn’t he be bragging about his excellence to her? And then taking it a step further by exchanging contact information, or even asking to go out together.

According to her experience, that’s how all male students should behave, right?

What’s going on?

She truly didn’t understand.

The male student lying on the ground was initially enraged and embarrassed, but when he saw Yun Xiyao’s reaction and her indifference to his plight, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

He suddenly remembered Jiang Ming’s words: You’re like a dog now, a pitiful dog no one cares for!

I’ve really become a dog!

Fuck!

Jiang Ming went to look for Head Teacher Mr. Chen.

“Jiang Ming, didn’t you take a long leave? Why are you here?” Mr. Chen put down the pen in his hand, “Is there something you don’t understand about your cultivation? Tell me!”

Jiang Ming raised his hand, and Qi flowed out.

“Qi overflow? Real Qi! You’ve opened your Sea of Qi and stepped into the Martial Arts Second Realm!” Mr. Chen suddenly stood up, his astonishment unmatched.

“Yes!” Jiang Ming smiled, “I just broke through and came to find you for school certification.”

“How is that possible? I remember you haven’t even reached the Muscle and Bone Resonance stage, how are you already in the Martial Arts Second Realm?” After his initial surprise, Mr. Chen was puzzled, but still delighted, “Come, let’s certify you first. Opening the Sea of Qi is equivalent to obtaining an admission voucher to a first-tier Martial Arts University, and there will be various benefits. Haha, fantastic!”
