A Top Scholar in Everything

The matter of the Nightmare Task is set aside for now.

Baiyu's current Blood Qi has reached 5000 calories, which is the limit for a Tier Eight Martial Artist. His Blood and Qi Central Hub has about thirty drops of liquid Blood Qi.

It's basically full.

If he wants to further enhance his combat power now, aside from attempting a breakthrough to become a Tier Seven Martial Artist, he must continue compressing his Blood Qi.

The Blood and Qi Central Hub is located below the abdomen, resembling the legendary Dantian.

Once the Blood Qi is further compressed, more space will be freed to accommodate even more Blood Qi.

It is said that some had six or seven thousand Blood Qi at the Tier Eight Martial Artist stage.

Of course.

Neither method is easy.

In his mind.

He flips to the visualization diagram page of the Ice Skin Jade Bone Skill, still seeing that bottle of unknown brand cola.

It's the point Baiyu finds most absurd.

Others' visualization diagrams are filled with dragons, phoenixes, demon gods, but his is all about cola, pulling everything downhill.

There's hardly room for reasoning.

Baiyu carefully examined the visualization diagram, feeling nothing, indicating that he is still quite a way from reaching Tier Seven Martial Artist.

At least he must slightly grasp the threshold of his True Martial Intent and sublimated Blood and Qi Central Hub for a chance to advance to Tier Seven.

In the room.

Baiyu abandoned the idea of cultivating the visualization diagram at this stage to rush into becoming a Tier Seven Martial Artist.

This requires a chance and cannot be forced.

"I feel there is still room to improve the Extreme Demon Bone Tempering Technique, let's give it a try," Baiyu said.

Baiyu took the remaining herbs out of the room.

The Extreme Demon Bone Tempering Technique consists of five manuals, each containing 108 poses.

When the whole set of exercises was completed,

Baiyu was already drenched in sweat but his Blood Qi did not increase further, still maintaining a total of 5000, indicating his body cannot absorb more Spiritual Qi, integrate it into his body, and convert it into Blood Qi for storage.

For this matter.

He could only personally seek out Mentor Yi Xian.

"Compressing Blood Qi? Your whole body is overflowing with Blood Qi, you're at the peak of a Tier Eight Martial Artist. At this time, you should consider how to advance to Tier Seven," Yi Xian said.

Today, Yi Xian was wearing a long floral robe.

Her delicate face, framed by thin spectacles, exudes an intellectual allure.

She was cutting up an Iron Tooth Rat in her hand.

Installing the Magic Kinetic Core on an Exotic Beast to create a semi-mechanical, semi-organic fighting force is her current research direction.

Of course.

This research is quite difficult to progress.

After all, countless predecessors have proven this path unfeasible, The mechanical modification people in the Bounty Hunter Association are the by-products of this research.

Replacing mechanical limbs and replacing a mechanical heart are entirely different concepts.

"True Martial Intent isn't something easy to comprehend, it requires opportunity. If you can't find patterns, getting stuck for a year or two is quite possible."

Baiyu shook his head.

Yi Xian put down the Iron Tooth Rat and washed her hands in the nearby washbasin, showing a smile.

She sat on the chair with crossed legs, exposing a large field of fair skin beneath the forked cheongsam.

She seemed unconcerned being seen openly by Baiyu.

"A year or two? If you can't comprehend True Martial Intent from the visualization diagram, you might be stuck for several years or even decades."

"It seems you have a lot of confidence."

"Realizing Martial Intent at Tier Nine, comprehending True Martial Intent is bound to happen sooner or later."

"I do have a method to compress Blood Qi here, but…everything that should have been taught to you has already been taught, and this is beyond the scope of the course syllabus."

Yi Xian played with her fingers, her face carrying a faint smile:

"Besides, you're a Black Moon Apostle, yet unwilling to join the Black Moon God Sect. Helping you is equivalent to creating a threat to myself."

Baiyu rolled his eyes: "Openly discussing a secret organization in a school, do you find it appropriate yourself?"

"The Black Moon God Sect is a legitimate organization, assisting Black Moon Apostles for years, advocating goodness and never doing evil deeds," Yi Xian corrected.

Seeing his mentor's demeanor, Baiyu asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"Don't be so distant with your mentor, as long as you're willing to join the Black Moon God Sect, I'll definitely spare no effort to provide you assistance."

"Change that request."

"Alright, alright, help me find someone, just in Zenith City."

Yi Xian rummaged through the stack of documents beside her and pulled out a photo, featuring a fierce-looking middle-aged man.

"This man is named Sioman, an Extraordinary at Tier Nine, his Sequence Ability's name is unknown, but it appears to involve theft.

His Extraordinary Ability is peculiar, though his combat ability is very weak."

Yi Xian then found a wanted poster of Sioman: "With your strength, once you find him, you can absolutely subdue him.

If you can obtain his Sequence Magic Elixir Recipe or get him to divulge how to obtain such Sequence Magic Elixir, that would be best.

If not.

Then kill him.

By the way, he possesses remarkably strong concealing abilities, having been on the run for three months, but I can confirm he has not escaped the bounds of Zenith City.

My actions are too noticeable, he would catch wind and flee, it's best if you handle this."

Baiyu accepted the wanted poster and photo, "Why is he wanted? Also, his ability, be more specific."

"This wanted poster was signed by the Anomaly Bureau at my request because he stole a very important research achievement of mine that has yet to be retrieved."

At this point.

Yi Xian's face turned icy: "As for his Extraordinary Ability, it's theft, and it likely can steal non-physical objects. If you can find him, I'll give you the method to compress Blood Qi."

Baiyu furrowed his brows, clutching the photo without moving.

Yi Xian glanced at him and took three vials from the side rack, "These are three Power Enhancement Potions Type I, consider them my prepaid rewards.

If you don't trust them, you can take them to the school's testing institution for evaluation.

Each Power Enhancement Potion permanently increases your strength.

Though individuals are limited to five Type I potions."

"Since Mentor has instructed it, I will give it my all," Baiyu said as he finally grinned, accepting the potions and walking out of Yi Xian's villa.

He spent three GPA points to have the three potions tested at the school's testing center; the results were normal, confirming they were legitimate Power Potions.

Baiyu also searched online for detailed information about these potions.

A newly developed Imperial potion, with no adverse effects.

It is said each vial is refined from the essence of an entire Brute Bear Dragon, meaning every sip of potion results in the slaughtering of a Brute Bear Dragon.

Yet these Exotic Beasts are not to be played with.

This potion has been in high demand, with a scarcity that has inflated its black market price tremendously.

When converted, a single vial sells for two hundred GPA points.

It's undeniable.

While Yi Xian might be somewhat unreliable, her generosity is true.

"But how does she assume I can locate this person?" Baiyu pondered as he scrutinized the photo with a hint of curiosity.

In his other hand, the Dream Pocket Watch's pointer began to move.

The direction indicated by the pointer aligns with the heart's intent…
