Chapter 63: Hard Training Leads To Messy And Unrefined, Authority Boost Makes Pure And Fierce
Qi and blood flowed up and down the spine in rhythmic motion, spreading to the limbs and bones. After circulating twelve times, it consumed 360 points of qi and blood, refined 36 points of qi and blood, completing one circulation of energy.
Completing twelve circulations once was very short for Li Ye, even shorter than the time for the Foundation Establishment Technique.
This martial arts technique, the Foundation Establishment Technique, required constant refining of qi and blood at all times. Li Ye practicing for a week was not as good as eating one meal at the Martial Arts Track canteen at noon.
As for rice, now unless he really had no choice, he did not want to touch it. One meal at the noon canteen, converted, could match over three thousand catties of rice for him.
Money was no issue; he had just received money. But where did he have that much time to cook? Eating one and a half tons of rice would take who knows how long, far inferior to feasting once at the Martial Arts Track canteen. The efficiency was too low.
As for martial arts, these twelve circulations did not require constant refining. As long as there was enough qi and blood to circulate, it was fine. When rusty, it took some time, but once proficient, a few minutes sufficed.
In about two hours, Li Ye completed a full 22 twelve circulations. While storing one gate, the externally steaming qi and blood changed from a frequency of four Qi Blood Leaps to five.
The required 800 qi and blood was broken through by Li Ye with tenfold conversion rate efficiency, in pure martial arts form!
[Qi and Blood: 56180]
[Twelve Golden Palace Dragon Tiger Gate: 4]
Five Dragon Gates!
He still had refined qi and blood originally. After practicing 22 times fully and breaking through, he even had 4 extra points of refined qi and blood.
But under qi and blood sensing, combined with the Food Qi Method, breaking from Five Dragon Gates to Six Dragon Gate required one thousand points of qi and blood.
“That is, ten thousand points of ordinary qi and blood. Completely enough. Continue!”
Li Ye took a deep breath and continued controlling the qi and blood circulation to condense. This time, he circulated a full 28 times!
The steaming qi and blood twisted rapidly and then calmed. Upon leaping again, it became a frequency of six leaps.
[Qi and Blood: 46100]
[Twelve Golden Palace Dragon Tiger Gate: 12]
Six Dragon Gate!
Crackle pop!
The Thunder Sound inside his body resounded even more intensely. Li Ye exhaled a heavy breath of white gas that spread on the ground. He steadied his stance, stopped circulating energy, and used qi and blood sensing to feel the amount of qi and blood for continued breakthrough.
It was different.
From Six Dragon Gate to Seven Dragon Gate, the required qi and blood sensing was actually as high as one thousand five, meaning he needed fifteen thousand points of qi and blood!
“One to three, from 300 to 450 to 600, intervals of 150 points. Four to six, from 600 to 800 to 1000, intervals of 200 points. But from six to seven, the interval jumped to 500 points. No wonder universities have levels. It is a threshold.”
Qi Blood Leap becomes harder to improve the more one practices.
Even ordinary qi and blood was not something ordinary people could break through casually. For someone like Li Ye, it was even harder.
But qi and blood also represented strength. The higher the Qi Blood Leap, the stronger. Perhaps those seniors did not know the minute data of qi and blood, but they could definitely sense it, hence the university levels.
Without talent, it really would not work.
Fortunately, Li Ye had a cheat!
“Break for me!”
Fifteen thousand, given!
[Qi and Blood: 30980]
[Twelve Golden Palace Dragon Tiger Gate: 24]
Until past seven in the evening, Li Ye stopped. Under qi and blood steaming, it reached a frequency of seven Qi Blood Leaps.
Seven Dragon Gate!
He had stepped into the threshold of a top Martial Arts University!
And he stepped in relying on refined qi and blood, without a speck of ordinary qi and blood impurities.
“From Seven Dragon Gate to Eight Dragon Gates, it requires a full two thousand points of refined qi and blood. I have enough remaining qi and blood, but Nine Dragon Gate might not be.”
Li Ye stopped circulating energy, checked the time. His parents should be back soon. To avoid too much noise, he could practice again tomorrow.
Eight Dragon Gates. Same strength as Fu Chuxue, who also passed the Three Passes.
After his parents returned, he ate and washed up as usual. The next day, when his parents went to work, Li Ye got up and continued practicing.
After making the agreement with the school, there was no need to go to school. Martial Arts Track experience was long-term outside anyway. For the Martial Arts Competition, Li Ye just needed to participate. He was free during this time.
“Practice!”
After simply finishing breakfast, Li Ye took a deep breath and started directly.
Twelve circulations ran a full 55 times, combined with the existing refined qi and blood, breaking through again!
Hum!
The Thunder Sound emitted from inside his body was much louder than before, like opening the window in early morning to the muffled roar of upstairs renovation, booming continuously.
[Qi and Blood: 11180]
[Twelve Golden Palace Dragon Tiger Gate: 4]
Eight Dragon Gates!
But it was also at the limit. Li Ye had overdrawn all rewards from the school for the next year to reach Eight Dragon Gates.
And breaking to Nine Dragon Gate required three thousand qi and blood!
With martial arts conversion, he needed thirty thousand points of qi and blood to truly reach Nine Dragon Gate!
Just one step short, but worlds apart. Lacking resources, he could not advance.
Li Ye’s first reaction was to find the principal, put on a straight face again, and ask for the missing nutritional supplements.
But thinking about it, he gave up.
Short nearly twenty thousand qi and blood, over thirteen hundred nutritional supplements. The principal ran for a month, borrowed from surrounding provinces and cities, and barely got four thousand. Asking for another third at once, whether the principal was willing aside, he might not even get them.
Yesterday at the canteen, while eating, he wondered why the ingredients seemed worse than before. Later, given four thousand nutritional supplements, Li Ye had a guess.
Afraid it was really bankrupting the school, even skimping on student ingredients.
“Next, it depends on my own efforts!”
Li Ye said firmly, then picked up his mobile phone and called Pan Zhengyang.
The phone rang twice and was answered.
“Li Ye, a month without contact. How is Martial Arts Track? Do you go on experience often?”
Pan Zhengyang’s voice was chuckling.
Then Li Ye’s one sentence silenced the other side.
“Director Pan, I reached Eight Dragon Gates.”
The other side was stunned for a full minute before roaring in shock: “WithToday?!”
“I’m telling you, April Fool’s was half a year ago. If you’re bored and calling to fool me, I’ll let you know the power of a Three Realms Martial Artist!”
“Not joking with you. Really Eight Dragon Gates.”
“Did you eat people?! No, hurry over. Let me see!”
The call hung up immediately. Li Ye shrugged and checked the time.
“Just noon.”
He went out, got on his electric scooter, and headed to the Disinfection Bureau he had not visited in a month.
Today Martial Arts Students were still on experience, not returning at noon. The Martial Arts Track canteen would not prepare ingredients. Perfect, he could eat at the Disinfection Bureau.
As for going from Three Dragon Gates to Eight Dragon Gates in one month of school, how shocking and unbelievable, Li Ye did not care at all.
He was Eight Dragon Gates!
From Qi Blood Leap, personal strength, cultivation method, he was genuine Eight Dragon Gates without any discount!
So what?
Fu Chuxue could be a Three Passes Eight Dragon Gates, why could not he be another? It was not without precedent.
Genius?
Genius could not compare to having a cheat.
The authority of the Food Qi Method truly brought not infinite eating and qi and blood improvement, but the infinite breakthroughs from this qi and blood improvement. His talent issue was gone, no thresholds. Enough qi and blood meant breakthrough.
And under this authority boost, the qi and blood brought no discounts, purely refined.
After all, qi and blood improved purely through hard training was always mixed and impure, while Li Ye’s qi and blood improved through authority was purely fierce!
No more pretending, cards on the table.
With enough resources, he could break through, infinitely!
Having a cheat is awesome!
