Starry Sky University, inside a luxurious cultivation room.
"Howl."
The third-year martial arts prodigy Qiu Kui was relentlessly practicing the Lone Wolf Saber Technique. This technique is renowned for its audacious forward montum; every strike advances like a lone wolf in battle, exuding a deadly aura, with every move being lethal and instilling fear in enemies and alien creatures alike.
To perfect this saber technique, Qiu Kui rejected all social interactions, imrsing herself entirely in cultivation. She even ventured alone into the Great Radiation Zone multiple tis to hunt Catfish Demons and refine her technique with their fresh blood.
She firmly believed that real combat is the best thod for honing skills. Though one might endure rigorous training or receive various guidance in the Star Realm, nothing compares to the thrill and directness of a breakthrough achieved in actual combat.
Thus, usually, she would either be in the cultivation room or the Great Radiation Zone, rarely honing her skills in the Star Realm. Because the saber technique is extrely aggressive and lethal, few are willing to spar with her as a training partner.
Over the years, several people have unintentionally been injured by her.
So she often volunteers to go to the front lines, spending a month or two each ti, refusing to return until she has fully satisfied her need for battle.
This ti, she achieved a breakthrough in her skills on the front line, with her combat power reaching 75.0 and her physical fitness reaching 18.2. She felt that within another six months, she could beco a Flesh Realm Martial Artist.
This was a full year ahead of her previous predictions.
This was inseparable from her efforts and also related to her training thods. She beca increasingly convinced that only through actual combat, continuously fighting with others and slaying alien creatures on the front lines, could her saber technique excel and ultimately make her a formidable Dharma Martial Artist.
For this, Qiu Kui set a goal.
She aims to increase her combat power to over 100.0 and her speed to over 30.0 before graduation, striving to beco a powerful Muscle Realm Martial Artist within ten years.
"Howl!"
The Lone Wolf Saber Technique only has seven forms.
She practiced the seven forms back and forth several tis, each ti feeling as if countless alien creatures were watching her in the empty cultivation room, as if she were going through a bloody fight.
After practicing the entire saber technique, executing it twenty tis consecutively, she finally stopped, satisfied.
"Clap, clap, clap!"
"Junior Sister, your talent is unparalleled, and with your relentless effort, you will surely beco the strongest martial arts student at Starry Sky University."
There was another person inside the cultivation room, a fourth-year martial arts student, also practicing the Lone Wolf Saber Technique, and had participated in several campaigns on the front line.
His combat power had already surpassed 80.0, with physical fitness at 26.0, and he was on the verge of entering the Flesh Phase. He trained under the sa master as Qiu Kui and was one of the few martial arts students recognized by her.
"I’m still slightly behind Senior Brother. Have you managed to enter the Flesh Phase this past month?"
Qiu Kui asked.
"Ah, not yet."
Lin Chengfeng sighed.
He had received an offer from Starry Sky University very early on, with a triple-S-Class ranking, expecting to enter the Flesh Phase before the end of his third year. However, with only one sester left in his fourth year, he still could not find the key to advance to the Flesh Phase.
"Perhaps, Senior Brother needs to go to the front lines once more."
Qiu Kui suggested.
If she were in his place, she would definitely stay on the front lines until she successfully entered the Flesh Phase, refusing to give up otherwise.
Just like this ti, she stayed on the front lines until she achieved a breakthrough before returning.
"Hmm, let’s see."
Lin Chengfeng nodded.
Qiu Kui didn’t say more; she understood each person has their own aspirations, and not everyone is willing to go all out for a breakthrough like she is.
"After your breakthrough, Master has been waiting for your return. Let’s go see him now!"
Lin Chengfeng said.
"Alright."
Qiu Kui was of the sa mind.
Their master, nad Lin Qiying, was a swordsmanship master, renowned alongside Marquis Zhuge in South City.
"Disciple pays respect to Master!"
Shortly afterward, the two arrived at Lin Qiying’s courtyard.
"Greetings, Master Zhuge, City Lord."
They found Master of Gun Technique Zhuge Hou and the City Lord of South City, Xu Songlin, also present in the courtyard, and quickly paid their respects.
"Xiao Qiu, you’re here just in ti. The City Lord has a task for you."
Lin Qiying said.
He was thin, with scar marks on his face, and although he restrained his aura, he exuded a powerful killing intent between his brows, clearly having honed the Lone Wolf Saber Technique to the ultimate level.
His saber technique was so natural and perfectly integrated with his body that every word and action ford a natural sword montum, demanding respect.
His aura was akin to Zhuge Hou’s sky-piercing spear technique.
As masters in their respective fields, the two found many points of resonance and often sat together sharing insights.
However, compared to Zhuge Hou, Lin Qiying had already found his ideal disciples.
Qiu Kui and Lin Chengfeng were both his prized students.
Especially Qiu Kui, despite being a woman, possessed the ambition and determination to eradicate all alien creatures, and every cell in her body resonated with the Lone Wolf Saber Technique.
One day, she would inevitably master the Lone Wolf Saber Technique to the ultimate level, potentially even transforming it.
Whenever Lin Qiying ntioned her to Zhuge Hou, he always wore a beaming smile.
"Please speak."
Qiu Kui cupped her hands.
She knew that over the years, Xu Songlin had done many things for the people of South City, guarding against the Great Radiation Catfish Demons, and she had great respect for him.
"I’d like you to teach soone a lesson, let him experience a life-and-death trial."
Xu Songlin said.
"Teach soone a lesson, who?"
Qiu Kui asked, puzzled.
"His na is Ling Feng, a senior martial arts student this year, ranked first in the end-of-term exams, and will beco Master Zhuge’s disciple in the future."
