Chapter 52: Only Breaking Through The Mysterious Pass Can Break Mortal To Become Martial
The surroundings were quiet for a good while before Yao Lèdān reacted, stuttering as she asked: “Li, Li Ye… are you okay?”
A smile floated on Li Ye’s lips as he circulated his qi and blood, stirring up a mist of qi and blood like light and smoke around him. The leaping frequency was exactly Four Dragon Gates!
From Three Dragon Gates to Four Dragon Gates requires six hundred points of qi and blood.
Using martial arts for conversion means a tenfold difference, that is, six thousand points. Li Ye had completely enough stored qi and blood points.
After breaking through Four Dragon Gates, there was still some left over.
As for the commotion causing his circulation to fail, that option didn’t exist.
Others needed that jolt, but Li Ye didn’t. He truly leveled up with experience points. The only thing to focus on was the martial arts conversion rate; no external factors could influence him.
“What’s going on!”
The roar that shook the entire venue also caught Gu Yang’s attention. He ran out from the office and the first thing he saw was Li Ye with qi and blood surging at a frequency of four times.
Four Dragon Gates?
So fast?
Gu Yang had just shown a look of shock when he saw Guo Chumíng collapsed to the side, bleeding from all seven orifices. He hurriedly leaped over and bent down to check on Guo Chumíng.
Then he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the person wasn’t dead.
But in the next instant, he showed a complicated expression, looked at the classmates gradually gathering around, stood up and waved his hand. “Alright, nothing to see here. Go back to martial arts training.”
After saying that, he made a phone call, and immediately several staff members came, carrying a stretcher to take Guo Chumíng away.
“Li Ye, come with me for a bit.”
Gu Yang called out, leading Li Ye to the venue entrance together, watching as Guo Chumíng was loaded into the ambulance.
“What happened?” he asked first.
Li Ye said indifferently: “Disrupting my circulation of energy deserves death.”
Gu Yang was stunned for a moment, then nodded: “That’s a major taboo. It was right to strike. The other guy is fine, just fainted.”
He paused, then said again: “But his qi and blood has been dispersed.”
With one roar, the qi and blood was shaken apart.
With just that one shout, Li Ye had ruined the person.
Injuring someone, even crippling them, is no big deal. Martial artists who have activated substantial qi and blood are special to begin with and can withstand stronger medicine. Even shattered bones can be healed; it just costs more money.
But dispersing someone’s qi and blood, thoroughly turning them into an ordinary person, is not easy to do and is also a more serious matter.
Disrupting someone’s circulation of energy is a major taboo; scattering their qi and blood is an even deadlier enmity.
It can be retrained, but for martial arts track students who have only reached One Dragon Gate, those who have been refining qi and blood bit by bit through the guiding method since elementary school, having their qi and blood scattered means no chance to start over.
“I know the intensity of the breakthrough route has no fixed measure, but this is a bit too strong. Exactly how many passes have you trained?” Gu Yang asked.
A martial artist’s intensity actually has no fixed measure; different martial arts produce different combat power.
Besides the qi blood leap count, nothing else is visible.
You can’t say that those who train hardening techniques are definitely stronger than those who train lightness skills, or that those who train weapons are more powerful than those who train fist and foot.
Different specialties, different training effects; besides qi and blood, there’s no way to see the intensity.
But for those on the breakthrough route, the qi blood leap is on another level entirely.
One Dragon Gate is still basic among basics; it can’t be that strong.
But the higher you go, the more obvious the gap.
Xiang Feipeng, with a Four Dragon Gates body, defeated No. 14 Middle School’s martial arts track class single-handedly.
Besides being on the breakthrough route, it was also because he focused on Divine Movement Pass, emphasizing lightness skill and speed; no one could catch him.
But Li Ye wasn’t like that. That body that swept through experience points, the strength to tear demonic creatures apart bare-handed—it clearly wasn’t specialized in Divine Movement. Yet if it were just a single mysterious pass, it wouldn’t have this much intensity.
He didn’t believe Li Ye was really just at Vajra Pass; this intensity absolutely couldn’t be encompassed by one mysterious pass.
At least Vajra Pass and Qi Meridian Pass; otherwise, it would be impossible to fight in experience points all day without resting.
But that roar also had a bit of Army Breaking Pass flavor.
Hearing this, Li Ye shook his head with a smile: “Vajra Pass, Qi Meridian Pass, Army Breaking Pass. I walk three passes.”
“Three passes… and still Army Breaking Pass?”
Gu Yang had already mentally prepared himself, but he was still shocked upon hearing it. “You’re training fist and foot, right? How did you break through Army Breaking Pass?”
All martial arts are essentially prepared for breaking through passes; it’s just that some, due to insufficient talent, can’t train martial arts that go straight to the mysterious pass and have to settle for second best.
But no matter what martial arts, reaching nine qi blood leaps still requires using martial arts to temper the body.
Among the six passes, each pass has different effects. Breaking through the mysterious pass, breaking mortal to become martial—that’s how you become a true martial artist.
Vajra Pass trains the body: iron head, copper bones, impervious to blades; it emphasizes external perfection.
Qi Meridian Pass emphasizes strength, allowing extreme endurance and prolonged stamina; it can also regulate vitality for longevity.
Divine Movement Pass emphasizes agility: not even a falling leaf touches the body, making one hard to catch.
Army Breaking Pass emphasizes power; it’s mostly achieved with weapon martial arts.
Five Senses Pass emphasizes reaction: the five senses become extremely sharp—”the autumn wind has not moved, yet the cicada senses it first”—strongest perception of crises.
Soul Settling Pass is more special. While other mysterious passes can deal with demonic creatures or people, Soul Settling Pass’s main role is against demonic creatures. Against those eerie ones that cause great pollution or even seduce the mind, breaking through Soul Settling Pass allows one to remain eight parts unmoved, with resolute mind.
The point that surprised Gu Yang was this: Army Breaking Pass is mostly achieved with weapons, which is why when Li Ye first arrived, he suggested Li Ye try learning a weapon martial art.
Fist and foot can also break through Army Breaking Pass?
That would have to be so hard and ruthless…
“Alright, I understand. Train well; the martial arts competition will rely on you to bring glory.”
Gu Yang even retracted his words of advice to Li Ye. He had originally wanted Li Ye to hold back a bit. As the guidance teacher for the martial arts track class, he was definitely biased. Not to mention that the other guy disrupted his circulation of energy first—even if it were nothing and his qi and blood was scattered, he couldn’t say anything.
It was a bit cruel, but strength is truth.
At worst, it was just a bit heavy-handed in sparring; it’s not serious among martial artists.
What’s more, now it’s confirmed that Li Ye is a martial artist on the three passes route.
No matter who came, this matter would be justified.
“A martial artist who walks three passes… the school really picked up a treasure this time.”
Seeing Li Ye leave, Gu Yang shook his head and picked up his mobile phone to call the principal.
Fu Chuxue was an exception; the principal and Fu Yan were good friends back in junior high, and their relationship hadn’t changed. He was invited over with friendship plus a large sum of money.
But Li Ye was a homegrown martial artist of No. 14 Middle School; he had to be taken good care of.
Guo Chumíng’s family had a bit of money background; his parents were quite arrogant. Under Shenzhou’s rule, ordinary people actually lived better than low-end martial artists, especially wealthy ordinary people like that.
In fights between martial artists, injuries happen, but dealing with ordinary people is illegal. So some people, relying on legal protection, act arrogantly, especially those ordinary people with martial artists in the family.
To avoid causing trouble, better to call the principal to step in.
Have Guo Chumíng transfer schools early, best to leave this city, to avoid any accidents.
At this age, a martial artist who walks three passes… if provoked, ordinary people can’t withstand it.
He didn’t want to see a genius fall before rising, and it was also for Guo Chumíng’s family’s good, to prevent them from doing anything irrational.
