"The secret techniques of your family are truly impressive!"

Chen Yong exclaimed in admiration, refraining from probing further.

He knew when to stop.

These matters clearly involved others' secrets, and as a stranger who had just met, it was not right for him to dig too deep.

Though a bit puzzled, feeling that something seemed off, he patiently explained everything to Li Weifeng once again.

"Generally, when people's Qi Blood reaches between 130 to 140, most would choose to break through to become an Official Martial Artist. Some even manage to forcefully breakthrough with 120 by relying on elixirs."

"Most people are aware that when Qi Blood reaches 149 cards, it can no longer progress, and they must break through to become Official Martial Artists. Those who reach the 149 card limit are called Limit Quasi-Martial Artists."

"But in fact, a Limit Quasi-Martial Artist is not the true limit."

"When Qi Blood reaches 149 cards, although it can't be further improved by refining blood and muscle, there's another way to enhance the body's Qi Blood, which is to temper the bones using Qi Blood."

"However, because they haven't become Official Martial Artists yet and can't lock the Qi Blood within their bodies, too much Qi Blood is lost during the bone tempering process at the Limit Quasi-Martial Artist stage, leading to very low Qi Blood utilization rates, and it consumes a great deal of resources. Even the most talented individuals from ordinary families can't continue without sufficient resource supply, so bone tempering techniques have not been widely spread in society."

"Before becoming an Official Martial Artist, bone tempering can be done three times, but each time is harder than the last until one reaches the peak after three times and can no longer progress."

"Completing bone tempering is extremely difficult; even accomplishing it once or twice is one in a million, the resources spent are enough to cultivate several Second Grade Martial Artists. Only two people at our Magic and Martial Arts University have completed all three. This year, a freshman who has undergone three rounds of bone tempering nearly caused an uproar at the entire school."

"The benefits of bone tempering exist; Martial Artists who have undergone bone tempering are said to cultivate faster and have more abundant Qi Blood than others at the same level. However, compared to the resources it consumes, it is quite unprofitable, and it also drags down one's cultivation pace. A fellow at my level went for three rounds of bone tempering to break through, suppressing his cultivation, and ended up being surpassed by someone from Nanjiang Martial University who was at the same level. No one knows the future, but for now, he is indeed being held back."

Here, Chen Yong's words were somewhat indistinct.

It seemed as if there was more to the story.

Perhaps it involved some internal struggles within Magic and Martial Arts University, but Li Weifeng did not press on.

He was more than satisfied to have gathered this information.

"Thank you, Brother Chen."

Li Weifeng's words were filled with gratitude.

Three rounds of bone tempering were a must for him.

With strong Spiritual Power, he could perform introspection and had extraordinary control over Qi Blood, achieving a utilization rate far superior to ordinary people.

Though extremely difficult for others, three rounds of bone tempering were not so for Li Weifeng.

The knowledge about bone tempering might not be significant for Chen Yong.

But it was clearly challenging for him to seek out on his own.

"No need to thank me, this information isn't much in the genius circles of Magic and Martial Arts University, just not publicly enlightened to ordinary people, it hardly counts as a loss."

Chen Yong waved his hand dismissively, then seemed to remember something.

"Here, these are three Qi Blood Pills, consider them a thank-you gift for your assistance this time."

Without waiting for Li Weifeng's refusal, Chen Yong directly placed them into his pocket.

"We're also rewarded for assisting the government in capturing fugitives, and you were of immense help this time, so you must accept these, or it would be unjust to me. Besides, don't you plan on undergoing bone tempering? That requires a lot of resources, just take them."

After a lot of persuasion, Li Weifeng had no choice but to accept.

Qi Blood Pill, a First Grade elixir.

Used to replenish Qi Blood during daily cultivation, or to aid Quasi-Martial Artists in breaking through to Official Martial Artist Realm.

These elixirs were a level above the Blood Coagulation Pills Li Weifeng had used before.

"Brother Chen, there's no need to thank a great favor verbally, let's exchange contact information, you can reach out to me if you need anything in the future."

"Of course."

Chen Yong responded openly, and the two exchanged contact information.

They talked a bit more, and then Li Weifeng took his leave.

Watching Li Weifeng depart, Chen Yong sighed and turned to sort out the mess behind him.

"Hey, Brother Chen, who was that just now?"

In the team, a female university student, who had been comforting the frightened waitress inside the noodle shop, came out and asked curiously as she watched Li Weifeng's departing figure.

This female student was named Yang Wanying, a junior sister of Chen Yong, who he was tasked with taking out for field training this time.

Chen Yong had a good impression of her and casually replied:

"His name is Li Weifeng, if it weren't for him, we might have let that guy escape, why do you ask?"

"So that's him."

Yang Wanying nodded thoughtfully and said casually:

"Back in high school, there was a student in the same grade named Li Weifeng. It was said that he had a father who was a Third Grade Martial Artist, and he reached the level of a Quasi-Martial Artist at a young age, one of the Martial Arts Examination seeds in our age group."

"Oh, then why didn't he go to study martial arts?"

Chen Yong inquired with some curiosity.

"I heard that during the college entrance exams, his parents ran into trouble, which affected his performance during the tests, leading to his failure to get selected. Although we were in the same grade, we weren't in the same class, so I'm not very clear on the details..."

Back then, that individual was considered one of the genius seeds of their grade.

But now, though she had been admitted to Magic and Martial Arts University, he had been pulled down by family woes, failing even to break through as an Official Martial Artist.

This left her with an inexplicable sense of feeling in her heart.

Chen Yong looked at the departing figure of Li Weifeng and remained silently contemplative.

...

Meanwhile, on the second floor across from the Lanzhou Noodle Shop, two figures at the window were watching everything unfold.

Magic and Martial Arts University is, after all, a university, not a Death Warrior training camp.

Newcomers like Chen Yong, who just started taking missions, typically have teachers following behind for protection to prevent accidents. Only after completing several missions do they truly let go.

These two were the teachers assigned to protect Chen Yong's team from Magic and Martial Arts University.

They had witnessed everything earlier with their own eyes.

"Old Wu, what do you think of that kid just now?"

"His foundation is solid; his stance work and Basic Boxing Technique have been trained to perfection, and even among Official Martial Artists, those who've reached this level are rare, he's a genius among geniuses!"
