71 -53 Heavenly Martial Heart Refinement
At the moment Zhang Yu finished practicing the Heavenly Martial Refining Heart Technique, countless scenes of his previous cultivation flashed through his mind, depicting his numerous insights into these nine martial arts sets, the intention he sensed, and the character he discerned.
The next moment, nine different intents simultaneously surfaced in his mind.
The intent of breaking through an army alone, the determination to face death without regret, the courage to push forward fearlessly…
These intents seemed to be forged in his mind through countless trials, finally merging into a single human figure.
This was the Martial Arts Intent formed in Zhang Yu’s sea of consciousness after completing the first level of the Heavenly Martial Refining Heart Technique.
The silhouette looked somewhat like Zhang Yu, but the face was blurred, exuding an aura of battling the heavens and the earth.
“The intent of Heavenly Martial…”
With a mere thought, the intent of Heavenly Martial in Zhang Yu’s sea of consciousness began to move, and under his mental guidance, started to perform the nine sets of martial arts of the Heavenly Martial Refining Heart Technique move by move.
Along with the activation of the Heavenly Martial Intent, an unprecedented aura also surged through Zhang Yu’s body.
At this moment, Zhang Yu felt as if he had become a warrior deity, determined to crush everything before him with pure violence.
Blood vessels began to appear in his eyes, and the circulation of his blood and mana slightly accelerated.
Zhang Yu could feel that his bodily state was being adjusted bit by bit towards optimal combat readiness.
“Phew.”
He exhaled softly and temporarily stopped the operation of the Heavenly Martial Refining Heart Technique, thinking to himself, “Is the intent of Heavenly Martial this violent?
Maybe the matching mindset should be one akin to a battle maniac?”
“That Master Xinghuo…
an old Deng kicked out from the grand sect, created such a martial arts method?”
“Damn…
Could it be he got kicked out for beating up leadership?”
The feeling Zhang Yu got was like discovering that a greasy middle-aged man sacked by a company happens to be a secret battle maniac?
“Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be this way.”
After all, in Kunxu, fights and battles often involve compensations, such as paying for collateral damages or hurting bystanders.
The more destructive the battle, the greater the compensation.
But going to unclaimed lands in the wilderness to fight?
In Zhang Yu’s memory, there’s really no such place not owned by companies, especially around Songyang City.
If a powerful person wanted to fight often, overcoming an opponent meant paying to keep constables away; losing meant paying to speed up their arrival, and even if uninjured, buying insurance to be safe was necessary, possibly requiring yearly insurance for all magic treasures and magic corpses…
“The better you fight, the more you spend, the more you spend, the poorer you get; and the poorer you get, the less you can fight.”
“So the better you fight, the less you can fight.”
“Maybe Master Xinghuo was kicked because this old Deng was too willing to fight.”
Zhang Yu mused, “The Immortal Path is not just about fighting and killing.”
But there was no use thinking much about it now.
Next, Zhang Yu continued cultivating this technique, planning to push the Heavenly Martial Refining Heart Technique to level 2.
And the cultivation of the Heavenly Martial Refining Heart Technique required the synchronization of the external physical body with the internal Heavenly Martial Intent, jointly executing the nine sets of martial arts in the technique.
If one merely utilized Martial Arts Intent within the sea of consciousness, it would only activate the effects of this mental method.
And with the re-employment of the Heavenly Martial Intent, Zhang Yu also deeply sensed the function of this mental method.
Only one mental method can be operated at any given time.
Therefore, at this moment, Zhang Yu’s mind wasn’t affected by the effects of the Wild Bull Soul Suppressing Heart Technique, only by the function of the Heavenly Martial Refining Heart Technique.
Originally without the effects of the Wild Bull Soul Suppressing Heart Technique, Zhang Yu’s endurance would’ve significantly decreased.
But under the state of the Heavenly Martial Refining Heart Technique, he only felt his fighting spirit soaring to the skies, fearing nothing, deterred by none.
No matter if it was a formidable enemy or challenging adversity, damn it, everything would be blasted with a punch!
Even the hardships of practice were overpowered by this fighting spirit, making Zhang Yu feel full of motivation even without the Wild Bull Soul Suppressing Heart Technique.
“How fiery!
How passionate!”
Feeling the slight acceleration of blood and energy throughout his body, Zhang Yu realized that the Heavenly Martial Intent not only enhanced combat but also promoted his cultivation.
In the blink of an eye, over two hours had passed, and the steaming, energetic Zhang Yu had practiced the martial arts nearly ten times.
Heavenly Martial Refining Heart Technique Level 1 (0/10) → Level 2 (0/20)
In an instant, Zhang Yu felt his mind traversing days and nights, deeply immersed in the intent of the Heavenly Martial Refining Heart Technique through continuous cultivation.
Meanwhile, the figure in his sea of consciousness formed by the Heavenly Martial Intent became increasingly clear, faintly revealing some of Zhang Yu’s features.
Overnight, Zhang Yu repeatedly paused but eventually elevated the Heavenly Martial Refining Heart Technique to level 3 (12/30).
He then received a call from Wang Hai, learning that due to his ties with the student council, he wasn’t selected for the school’s sports competition team.
“A deliberate show of force?” Zhang Yu wondered: “Are they planning to use more tactics against me if I refuse to sign again?”
Soon after, he was once again invited by the student council to discuss the contract.
…
Songyang High School.
Noon.
Student Council Office.
Accompanying a cold snort, the entire office’s temperature seemed to plummet, causing even the robust Lanling to shiver.
But the next moment, the temperature returned as if the cold was just a phantom.
Lanling understood, it wasn’t an illusion; it was Zhou Chechen’s deteriorating mood.
Just minutes ago, Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen had once again rejected the student council’s contract offer, citing that the three prestigious schools offered a higher price.
Lanling gently placed down the dumbbell he was holding, looked towards the Vice President Zhou Chechen on the sofa, and asked, “President, what should we do?”
Zhou Chechen murmured, “Haven’t I given them enough face already?”
“Haven’t I offered them the best conditions I could?”
“I just don’t get it, why wouldn’t they agree to something beneficial for both them and the school, a win-win situation?”
Lanling said, “Maybe Zhang Yu’s fourth place in the mana competition gave him some unwarranted ambition, leading Bai Zhenzhen to want to raise the price too.”
Zhou Chechen sighed, “Does he think if we don’t release them, the three prestigious schools can really sign them?
They want to raise the price…
Do they even think they’re worth it?”
“These poor folks, you’re too harsh on them, they resent and curse you, not working properly.”
“Give them a bit of face, and they walk all over it, thinking stuff they shouldn’t think about, messing things up in the end.”
He waved helplessly: “Do as you see fit.”
“In any case, within seven days, I want to see their signed contracts.”
…
Classroom of the first-year demonstration class.
Zhang Yu was maintaining the mental method of the Wild Bull Soul Suppressing Heart Technique, continuing to study while keeping it active.
Since cultivating the Heavenly Martial Refining Heart Technique, Zhang Yu began alternating between the two mental methods.
During the practice of this martial arts method, he would naturally maintain the state of the Heavenly Martial Refining Heart Technique while performing the external martial arts moves.
During moments impossible for martial arts practice, like resting or classes, he would maintain the state of the Wild Bull Soul Suppressing Heart Technique.
This process made Zhang Yu feel a sort of ideological conflict, which in turn affected the efficiency of both mental methods.
“One demands constant fighting, crushing everything; the other requires toil and silent accumulation.”
“Switching back and forth between these…
sigh.”
He couldn’t help but scratch his head, and this ideological conflict between the two mental methods made him think of the contract choice before him.
“Ideas can be chosen, but it seems that in reality, there’s no option for constant fighting…”
At that moment, his phone vibrated.
Zhang Yu saw it was a message from Teacher Yan of the Magic Power Class.
“Zhang Yu, did you offend the student council?
The tutoring fee has been refunded to you, and you won’t be able to participate in future mana competitions for now.”
“Hurry up and find a way to mend your relationship with the student council.”
Seeing this message, Zhang Yu’s eyes narrowed, realizing this was another form of pressure from the student council.
Just then, Bai Zhenzhen’s voice sounded beside him: “Did Old Yan kick you too, did you get kicked out of the mana competition team?”
Seeing Zhang Yu nod, Bai Zhenzhen angrily said, “That student council bunch, they’re likely to keep troubling us soon.”
“Can you hold up?”
Zhang Yu nods: “I can hold up, but when will it end this way?”
Bai Zhenzhen said: “Until we’re strong enough, until we find a method to get into top universities.”
“During this process, the pressure from the student council will undoubtedly intensify.”
“These wealthy folks, once they see their interests affected…
no, even if they just make less money, they’ll tear off their usually benign masks and do anything against you.”
Bai Zhenzhen, holding her head, complained: “We’ll be constantly suppressed and isolated.”
“They might seize practical combat class opportunities to have teachers or senior students beat us, use Spirit Realm opportunities in the Dao Heart class to torment us, bribe teachers to grade us low, erase our various benefits and opportunities…”
“Their lackeys might go one by one, using all sorts of dirty tricks like putting glue on chairs, pouring cold water in bathrooms, stealing notebooks, and other ridiculous actions.”
“In short, they’ll use every possible means to target us.”
Her eyes seemed to envision a terribly dark high school experience.
“We’ll progressively become hated by everyone, plummet to the bottom of the food chain, suffer repeated humiliation from those rich folks, and eventually be isolated to the point where no one even wants to dine with us.”
She suddenly scratched her head: “Sigh, damn it.”
“The situation won’t improve a bit; instead, it’ll get worse and worse until we graduate high school, enter university…
or we kneel and surrender, signing a contract to become their vassals.”
Zhang Yu rolled his eyes: “How do you know so much?”
Bai Zhenzhen: “A long time ago, a senior confided in me before committing suicide.”
She then turned to Zhang Yu: “If you can’t hold up, while you can still sell yourself at a good price, you might consider signing the contract early.”
Zhang Yu snorted: “I won’t sign.”
“I want to make it to the Top Ten, even if it kills me.”
Seeing Zhang Yu’s resolve, Bai Zhenzhen giggled: “Then let’s hold on together.”
“Rest assured, sitting idly isn’t my style.”
“I’m about to find the leader of the Poor Alliance, to learn from him how to enter university without signing any contract.”
