Chapter 136: Chapter 128: You Must Reach the Supreme
"You are the instructor? Why didn’t you say so earlier?"
Su Tu looked at the crew-cutted man with a bruised and swollen face and couldn’t help but question him.
Hearing this, the crew-cutted man almost couldn’t catch his breath and nearly fainted again in anger.
Say earlier??
How could I say it earlier!! I wanted to say it at the beginning, but did you give me a chance?
You came straight at me with a fight, your technique was masterful, and your body strength was terrifyingly strong.
Even with Mingtiao’s body durability, he was suppressed by Su Tu, barely able to hold his ground in techniques.
But without the support of qi, the difference created by mere physical strength was incomparable.
The same technique applied on a body would have dramatically different effects.
Punching Su Tu ten times wasn’t as effective as Su Tu landing one punch.
Really don’t know if I’m the Mingtiao martial artist or if this kid is the Mingtiao one.
What on earth are these monsters in the training camp!!
Su Tu now felt a bit apologetic, thinking the other party was here to assess him, but it turned out to be the instructor who came to bring him into the camp.
Being beaten up like this by him, he felt somewhat embarrassed...
To be honest, this person was the toughest enemy he ever encountered since practicing martial arts.
Strong techniques, solid body, extremely rich combat experience; Su Tu initially wanted to hold back, after all, it was just an assessment, not a life-and-death struggle.
But facing an enemy of this caliber, trying to win meant no holding back was possible.
In the end, it turned out like this.
[You have won a cross-level challenge, Fighting Proficiency +200, Body Strengthening Proficiency +50!]
[Fighting (High Tier): 1160/5000]
[Strengthen Body (High Tier): 1340/5000]
The system settlement information appeared in front of Su Tu’s eyes.
Seeing the generous proficiency increase, Su Tu suppressed the urge to smile.
fighting proficiency points, he thought the imitator was already the pinnacle of experience-giving, didn’t expect there was a master!
If he knew the proficiency would be so high.
Su Tu estimated he wouldn’t have held back, couldn’t help but feel a bit sorry for the instructor.
It gave so much!!
The crew-cutted man struggled to stand up from the ground, feeling a sharp pain all over.
"Kid, you hit too hard..."
He touched his face, grinning in pain.
"Sorry, I didn’t know you were here to pick me up, you’re too strong, I couldn’t hold back."
Su Tu spoke earnestly.
Seeing Su Tu’s expression, the crew-cutted man didn’t know what to say.
Actually, if there’s anything to say, he indeed had some issues; he was in a bad mood, carried some evil qi, no wonder the kid misunderstood.
During the fight, he actually had a chance to say his intention.
But...
Explaining in that situation would make him seem cowardly, how could he stand firm in the training camp in the future?
Also, he was really curious about what kind of capability a martial artist who could beat up all those imitators had.
Just didn’t expect Su Tu’s power was this terrifying, flipping him over.
"Kid, what kind of anomaly are you?"
"How is your body strength so strong? Wild Elephant Battle Body, Heavenly Body?"
Anomalies refer to extraordinary traits, such as special physique, special talents, special organs, all generally termed as anomalies.
Tang Yangwu’s Bright Eyes is one kind of anomaly.
The two anomalies mentioned by the crew-cutted man belong to the physique category; possessing these grant innate tremendous strength, several times stronger than martial artists of the same realm.
"No, I should have no anomaly."
Su Tu answered truthfully, knowing his own situation, his body strength was entirely due to his efforts.
Not comparable to those guys relying on ’external add-ons’.
"How can it be!!? It must not have been detected, right!"
Hearing Su Tu’s words, the crew-cutted man looked incredulous. Without any anomaly support, how could there be such terrifying body strength?
"When you enter the camp later, I’ll spend points for your body detection, as... as an extra reward for beating the instructor..."
The crew-cutted man spoke while wincing in pain.
Su Tu was a bit stunned.
No matter if intentional or not, but he really beat up the instructor.
Apart from certain families like the Tuoba Family, martial artists value face highly. Su Tu thought at most the other party would pretend nothing happened, didn’t expect he’d even help him undergo a detection.
The body detection technology Su Tu saw on forums, through detection, it analyzes the weak muscle density distribution, bone thickness comparison, red and white muscle analysis,
Using a series of detections to judge the most suitable path for the martial artist, suitable techniques, which divine techniques to cultivate that would be easier to master, etc.
This technology does not exist on Ancestor Star, didn’t expect the training camp actually brought this technology.
A single body detection has no market price, because this technology is not open to the public; for the instructor to let him undergo one, he must pay a considerable price.
"A truly virtuous teacher!"
Su Tu looked at the crew-cutted man with a trace of admiration in his eyes.
However, what was the crew-cutted man thinking at this moment...
He was holding his waist, a bit unsteady.
"How can you have an ordinary physique! You must have an anomaly!!"
"You must have an incredibly strong anomaly, or I will lose all dignity!!"
His thoughts were simple; indeed, he hadn’t torn Su Tu to pieces in a sealed qi state; there’s nothing more to say.
The crew-cutted man knew he still held a realm advantage, with his body being nourished.
If he and Su Tu were in the same realm, there wouldn’t even be a need to fight, he couldn’t withstand even one punch from the opponent.
Killing him would be like slaughtering a chicken!
He now wishes for everyone to know about Su Tu’s strength, the stronger Su Tu is, the less embarrassing it is for him!
If Su Tu can dominate the Martial Arts Dao, he can still boast about his narrow victory over it in the future.
As for suppression, oppression, it’s something he doesn’t think about at all.
According to his way of thinking, such an amazing student must still call me instructor; when they soar, won’t I also fly with them?
Su Tu!! You must take one step at a time and reach the highest point!!
The reason he wanted to do a physical body assessment for Su Tu was also to indirectly tell everyone that he wasn’t defeated by an ordinary student, but by a monster; you all wouldn’t stand a chance either!!
"Thank you, instructor."
Su Tu seriously said to the crew-cut man.
"Don’t call me instructor, my name is Zheng Peng."
"Let’s go, follow me back to camp, the little girl from the Mu family can come too."
Zheng Peng raised his eyes to look at Mu Qingying who had been standing quietly all this time, when he entered the Ancient Forest, he had glanced at the Illusion Mirror and saw this little girl wandering aimlessly.
"That... Peng-ge, sorry about earlier."
Su Tu now really felt a bit embarrassed, he had beaten the man like this, yet he still wanted to help him with the physical body assessment.
"It’s alright, your unexpected move caught me off guard, if it weren’t for the severe suppression I faced, outside, you wouldn’t have been able to hurt me."
Zheng Peng stumbled along as he spoke.
Hearing this, Su Tu also nodded.
In this forest, when Qi is suppressed, the Mingtiao martial artists cannot exert their true strength, cannot open their Martial Bone, and their techniques are also restricted; outside, Zheng Peng’s killing power would be at least three to four times higher.
Although relying on his High Tier in Fighting and Strengthening Body, he wasn’t physically or technically weaker than the Mingtiao martial artists.
But judging from the Martial Arts Dao level, there still remained a considerable gap between Peeping Branch and Mingtiao.
Under Zheng Peng’s lead, the few quickly reached the edge of the Ancient Forest.
Mu Qingying remained quiet all the way, occasionally gazing at Su Tu with a hint of fear.
Her Heart and Spirit sensing was too sensitive.
From Su Tu, she felt an indescribable terror.
The source came from within Su Tu’s Heart and Spirit.
"When the restrictions are lifted later, I want to see what is in your Heart and Spirit..." Mu Qingying thought.
The end of the Ancient Forest revealed a bright light.
"We made it!"
"Welcome to the Training Camp!!"
Zheng Peng spoke as he looked at the bright area, then stepped into it, followed by Su Tu and Mu Qingying.
The surrounding scenery blurred as if space had shifted.
When Su Tu opened his eyes, he found himself in the camp.
A giant fortress hovered in the sky, neon-lit corridors connected to the ground, accompanied by many facilities Su Tu had never seen before.
Many staff in white coats hovered in mid-air, constantly recording the students’ statuses, while scanning rays occasionally fell, scanning various martial artists.
Technology clashed with primitiveness in the camp.
"Oh, finally some relief." Zheng Peng let out an exaggerated groan.
Along with the unsealing of the acupuncture points, the Qi on his body spread freely, and the pain on his body gradually eased.
However, the bruising on his face remained.
When Su Tu arrived at the camp, many martial artists had already gathered there.
There were fewer people than Su Tu had imagined, likely many did not pass the assessment.
As soon as he walked into the camp, several sharp gazes turned toward Su Tu.
Su Tu was quite familiar with the owners of those gazes; they were the martial artists who had initially opened all their acupoints.
Clearly, in the eyes of these people, only those who also opened all their acupoints were qualified to enter their sights.
"So slow?"
"That imitator may be strong, but can’t last thirty moves in front of me."
"It seems you’re weaker than I imagined, guessing you used some Secret Technique in that battle with Tuoba Fengtian outside."
Some prodigy shook his head, no longer giving Su Tu another glance, clearly losing interest in him.
Li Mingming clung to his long sword with his head tilted, curiously looking at Su Tu, his gaze like a child seeing a new toy.
"Strong!!"
"So strong!!"
"This person is in another realm of power altogether, like the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, while others are just a Black Bear Spirit, Tiger Vanguard!"
"I want to challenge him!!"
He excitedly muttered to himself but then frowned with some frustration, "Seems like I can’t, right now I’m just the Great Yellow Wind Saint, seems like I still can’t beat him..."
...
"Later, the main instructor will explain the rules of the Training Camp; once you’re all settled in, I’ll find you to perform the physical assessment."
Zheng Peng spoke to Su Tu while covering his face.
Then, without waiting for Su Tu’s response, he dashed off with hurried steps.
With his face in such a state, Zheng Peng couldn’t face anyone and needed to go back quickly for treatment, otherwise, he would become a laughingstock among his peers!
"Su Tu, this!!!" A familiar voice called out.
Su Tu saw Luo Fan waving at him from a corner of the camp, and he waved back, just about to go over and gather with his classmates.
But Mu Qingying, who had been quietly following behind Su Tu, suddenly let out a piercing scream.
"Ah!!!! God... devil... Immortals!! No, what are these!!"
She looked at Su Tu with trembling, shrill voice, her eyes narrowed into thin lines as if seeing some terrifying malevolent star, Evil God!!
Seeing her in such a state, Su Tu couldn’t help but take two steps toward her, asking, "Are you alright?"
But as Su Tu moved, Mu Qingying’s eyes rolled back, her body softened, and she fainted directly.
