Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along-Chapter 485 - 140: The Strongest Martial Arts Grandmaster
In order to achieve complete perfection in his Dantian Sea of Qi as soon as possible, Zhang Lingfeng continuously coasted along, persistently practicing relaxation without working hard or struggling, avoiding competitive behavior.
Classroom Number Three.
As there were only two students for the time being, Zhang Lingfeng’s every move appeared blatantly obvious in Ge Chunqiu’s eyes.
At every critical moment of cultivation, Zhang Lingfeng would unexpectedly stop to rest, sometimes even sipping tea or taking a nap on the desk.
Doing this every day, not to mention Ge Chunqiu, even Lin Shaobin beside him felt a bit overwhelmed. He realized that no matter how much he tried to catch up, even when Zhang Lingfeng seemingly wasn’t putting much effort into cultivation, he still couldn’t surpass him. The complex emotions feeding his Sword Intent had become somewhat frantic under Zhang Lingfeng’s achievements during this time.
As a result, he could only distance himself from Zhang Lingfeng.
In the classroom, one sat at the very front, while the other sat at the very back.
The one sitting at the back was Lin Shaobin, and the one sitting at the front was Zhang Lingfeng.
Zhang Lingfeng considered it this way: sitting at the front, the Coasting Along Value obtained from fully practicing coasting along would be slightly more than sitting at the back. Though not by much, it was better than nothing.
Because of this, there was a time when Ge Chunqiu had no choice but to stand in the middle of the classroom to lecture.
...
After leaving Classroom Number Three, Zhang Lingfeng immediately went to find Wang Defa.
In this two-hour period, Zhang Lingfeng didn’t miss any opportunity for rest and relaxation. After each class, Wang Defa felt as if he hadn’t taught him anything.
To this, Wang Defa often erupted in fury.
Many times, he wished he could kick Zhang Lingfeng out.
But he had applied to the Academy for the privilege of privately guiding Zhang Lingfeng’s cultivation. He couldn’t just apply to cancel this privilege simply because Zhang Lingfeng wasn’t cooperating.
In fact.
Privately tutoring Zhang Lingfeng in cultivation was, in itself, a cultivation resource granted by the Academy based on Zhang Lingfeng’s exam results, something Wang Defa simply couldn’t refuse.
Thus, Zhang Lingfeng ran back and forth daily between Classroom Number Three and Wang Defa’s yard. After finishing his studies, he returned to the dormitory to play cards. During this time, Wang Defa sought out Qin Qianyu, asking Qin Qianyu to persuade Zhang Lingfeng.
But Qin Qianyu was also busy cultivating, striving to improve his strength to secure a good score in the Continental Examination. So, even though he spoke to Zhang Lingfeng several times, he couldn’t deter him.
At the same time, knowing that Zhang Lingfeng shouldered all the responsibility on himself, Qin Qianyu’s attitude towards Zhang Lingfeng obviously shifted. He used to consider Zhang Lingfeng as part of the Qin family, but now sees him as his brother.
To achieve complete Dantian Sea of Qi perfection is an unattainable realm, even for his father, let alone Zhang Lingfeng. Therefore, Qin Qianyu focused on strengthening his ability, intending to ensure that one day Zhang Lingfeng wouldn’t face any issues due to the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance’s punishments.
In the blink of an eye, two days passed, and Zhang Lingfeng would check the Coasting Along Value and the changes in his Dantian Sea of Qi every day.
Coasting Along Value: 6522
Dantian: (90.35/100)
Sea of Qi: (85.21/100)
Physical Fitness: 2991.7
Combat Power: 36661.8
Zhang Lingfeng discovered that ever since his Dantian value surpassed 90.0, the all-day Dantian Sea of Qi strengthening ability increased the level from 1.0 per day to 0.3 per day.
Thus, without relying on the Coasting Along Value, to achieve 100% perfection in the Dantian alone would take at least another 33 days.
This speed, although slower than before, still allowed Zhang Lingfeng to see the possibility of 100% Dantian Sea of Qi perfection.
Once the Dantian Sea of Qi reaches 100% perfection, the Sea of Qi can transform from gaseous to liquid state. The Spiritual Root level nurtured from it can be ensured to be within the Sixth Grade.
For Zhang Lingfeng, an Upper Grade Spiritual Root might no longer be just a fantasy.
Time passed day by day amidst such anticipation.
With Wang Defa’s assistance, Zhang Lingfeng’s daily Coasting Along Value could be maintained at around 3000 points. Time flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
Tomorrow is the Academy’s second big exam.
The timing for the Continental Exam was also determined today and will be held in three months.
The Academy will select this year’s Continental Exam Martial Dao students in two months, then focus on training them for a month before finally sending them to the Eastern Continent main stage to represent the Great Xia Kingdom.
Qin Qianyu was determined to shine for the Qin family and the Great Xia Kingdom in this year’s Continental Exam, and to redeem himself. He had been busy cultivating, and Zhang Lingfeng seldom saw him. Every time they met, Qin Qianyu would remind Zhang Lingfeng to seriously cultivate and not to forget his statements to the South Heaven Gate investigation team.
In fact, he didn’t expect Zhang Lingfeng to reach such realms. He just wished Zhang Lingfeng could strive to strengthen himself and become a Continental Exam Martial Dao student tomorrow to bring glory to the Great Xia Kingdom.
Perhaps then he could redeem his missteps.
Zhang Lingfeng would always nod and agree, yet continue living as usual the next day, leaving even Wang Defa at a loss for what to do.
Tomorrow is the big exam, and Zhang Lingfeng checked the panel information.
Coasting Along Value: 45512
Dantian: (94.85/100)
Sea of Qi: (93.11/100)
Physical Fitness: 3015.2
Combat Power: 36712.8
In these fifteen days, Zhang Lingfeng practiced coasting along daily, using all time outside cultivation for enjoyment. Even during cultivation, he was distracted, frustrating both Ge Chunqiu and Wang Defa.
Thankfully, like his Dantian, the Sea of Qi continued to increase at a speed of 0.3 per day, enhanced by the all-day Dantian Sea of Qi strengthening ability, after reaching a value of 90.0.
Half a month’s time had passed.
Zhang Lingfeng not only accumulated over forty thousand points of Coasting Along Value.
The values for his Dantian and Sea of Qi also exceeded 90.0, reaching 94.85 and 93.11, respectively.
