Chapter 15 The Cultivation Methods of Geniuses
After Chen Lie left, Li Xianyu saw that it was still early, so he continued teaching at the martial arts school.
Starting from the center of the training ground, she practiced the Cloud and Smoke Steps on her own.
As her Cloud Smoke Step technique improved rapidly, she seemed to grasp the essence of the Cloud Smoke Step, as if she had transformed into a wisp of green smoke, a floating cloud, traversing the training ground.
After demonstrating the Cloud Mist Steps once, Li Xianyu exclaimed in surprise, "I actually demonstrated a complete set of Cloud Mist Steps?"
She now seems to have truly mastered this C-level martial art to the point of being an entry-level practitioner.
She had practiced for more than half a year, but she was still a complete novice. Without the guidance of a teacher, it would have been impossible for her to fully practice the entire set of Cloud and Smoke Steps. Even with the teacher's guidance, she made mistakes in the middle of the practice and it was intermittent.
After two hours of instruction from Chen Lie, she was able to practice the Cloud and Smoke Steps flawlessly on her own.
Did Chen Xingyao's brother pass on his own cultivation experience to her?
The progress is practically visible to the naked eye. Is this how geniuses cultivate themselves? She's definitely not comparable to the fake geniuses her parents, teachers, and classmates talk about.
This visible progress motivated Li Xianyu even more, and she practiced the Cloud and Mist Steps incessantly, hoping to take it a step further.
However, without Chen Lie's guidance, she could no longer feel the divine assistance she had just experienced during her cultivation, but she became even more proficient in the Cloud Mist Step.
Just as Li Xianyu was completely absorbed in practicing the Cloud and Mist Steps, she suddenly heard a voice.
"Excellent, excellent!"
Li Xianyu immediately stopped contacting the source of the sound and looked towards it.
She noticed a short-haired middle-aged man looking at her and clapping slightly.
"Instructor Qu?"
Li Xianyu's expression hardened, and he immediately recognized the man in front of him as Qu Xinyou, the instructor of the "Cloud and Smoke Step Instruction" that he had wanted to enroll in yesterday.
"Oh, it's Li Xianyu. I was wondering who could have mastered the Cloud Mist Step to such an advanced level."
Qu Xinyou saw Li Xianyu's face and nodded slightly.
"Hello, Instructor Qu."
Li Xianyu greeted him respectfully.
The instructor in front of us is named Qu Xinyou. He is a tutor in the elite class of a key provincial high school and works part-time as an instructor at Dongchuan Martial Arts School.
Li Xianyu only knew that this Teacher Qu was his sister's tutor in the elite class, and because of his sister, he had enrolled in fragmented courses of "Yunyan Step Instruction" from Teacher Qu more than once.
"A few days ago, your sister came to me with a letter of introduction for the 'Cloud Mist Step Instruction Course.' Yesterday, I was wondering why you didn't bring the letter to me to enroll in the 'Cloud Mist Step Instruction Course.' It turns out that you have already secretly cultivated the Cloud Mist Step to this level."
That's right. Now that you've basically mastered the Cloud and Mist Steps, I'm afraid I won't be able to teach you much more if you come back to me.
"It seems your aptitude is even stronger than your sister's," Qu Xinyou said.
"Thank you for the compliment, Instructor Qu." Li Xianyu nodded slightly.
Qu Xinyou then asked, "Um, what's your Qi and Blood level now?"
"The school measured it for everyone a while ago, and it was 0.91 calories."
Qu Xinyou nodded repeatedly: "I watched you for a while just now. You must have just mastered the Cloud Mist Step, right?"
"Yes."
Qu Xinyou said, "Having mastered a C-level martial art, your Qi and Blood value will definitely increase rapidly in the near future. During this period, you should train diligently and make sure to keep up with your nutrition. If my judgment is correct, your Qi and Blood value will definitely exceed 1 calorie within ten days."
Once you get home, have your parents prepare the blood essence and supplements you need after you break through the first level of Qi and blood, so that you can enter the elite class before the winter break.
If you don't have a preferred mentor for the elite class by then, how about you register under my name when you're promoted to the elite class?
Within ten days, my Qi and Blood value will exceed 1? Will I be able to enter the elite class before winter break?
Li Xianyu was somewhat bewildered. It seemed that his Qi and Blood value had improved much faster than before.
Her parents' plan for her was to have her Qi and Blood value exceed 1 within two months after the start of the new semester after the winter break, and to exceed 3 before the end of the second semester of her first year of high school to enter the elite class. This plan had already put a lot of pressure on her, and she couldn't even imagine that she could exceed it.
"Oh, okay, I'll consider it. Thank you, instructor."
Qu Xinyou nodded and said, "It's getting late, and the martial arts school will be closing soon. Let's practice a little longer and then go home. Improving your Cloud Smoke Step is not something that can be achieved overnight, especially for someone like you who has already mastered the basic footwork."
"Okay." Li Xianyu nodded.
After giving Li Xianyu a few instructions, Qu Xinyou left the martial arts school's training ground.
After Qu Xinyou left, Li Xianyu continued to teach the Cloud and Mist Steps.
She thought that she was just starting out and needed to practice more to strike while the iron was hot.
After teaching for a while, Li Xianyu glanced at the time and realized that it was almost closing time for the martial arts school, so he decided to go home.
When she reached the main entrance on the first floor of the martial arts hall, she suddenly remembered what Qu Xinyou had just said: mastering a C-level martial art would increase one's Qi and Blood value. She couldn't help but turn around and go to the Qi and Blood value detector inside the martial arts hall.
Her teachers and parents had told her that she shouldn't measure her Qi and blood values too frequently, otherwise it would affect her mindset. It was best to measure them once a month. Today, it had been less than five days since her last measurement, and she hadn't exercised in the past few days. So, normally speaking, her Qi and blood values shouldn't have increased at all.
But remembering what Qu Xinyou had just told her, she decided to give it a try. After all, it was just once, and even if her Qi and blood levels remained stagnant, it shouldn't affect her mindset.
He stepped into the cabin of the blood and qi level detector, and the instrument began to emit light to scan Li Xianyu's body.
Soon after, the instrument finished scanning and the test results were broadcast.
"Beep, test complete, blood energy level 0.94 calories."
When the blood and qi detector's cabin opened, Li Xianyu was completely stunned.
"0.94 calories? How come my Qi and Blood levels suddenly increased so much?"
Stepping out of the machine that displays blood and qi levels, Li Xianyu stared blankly at the prominent red numbers above the instrument.
You should know that even if she trained intensely for three consecutive days, exhausting herself every day, she might not be able to increase her Qi and Blood value by 0.01 calories. Moreover, at her age, her body could not withstand the burden of three days of intense training.
Her Qi and Blood value had just increased to 0.91 calories, but without any exercise, it reached 0.94 calories in just a few days.
Most importantly, it increased my health by 0.03 units, and this is just the beginning.
Is this the feedback on blood and qi values that comes from mastering a C-level martial art?
Thinking that he had only been instructed for less than two hours and had already mastered a C-level martial art, and also thinking that the senior who instructed him was his classmate's older brother.
With an older brother like this, wouldn't Chen Xingyao often receive such guidance?
"Chen Xingyao, you're really lucky."
She and Chen Xingyao were indeed close classmates who usually studied and exercised together; otherwise, she wouldn't have asked Chen Lie to help her queue.
But in the shadows, the two were fierce competitors, because their grades were at the same level. They were the top two in the key class, and even when it came to breaking the 0.9 mark in their Qi and Blood value, they were only one day apart.
They were said to be among the top students in the honors class, but neither of them wanted to fall behind and be second.
Now, after just two hours of instruction, I've mastered a C-level martial art, and my health and vitality have increased dramatically. Meanwhile, Chen Xingyao, who has been receiving the same guidance, has health and vitality that are now comparable to mine.
Li Xianyu couldn't help but wonder if Chen Xingyao's original aptitude was actually not that great, but because she had such a brother who could guide her martial arts cultivation, her blood and qi values were able to keep up with her own.
After leaving the martial arts school, Li Xianyu strolled back home.
Upon entering the house, Li Xianyu saw his older sister, Li Muge, standing in front of the training room.
"Fish is back? Didn't you want to learn martial arts a few days ago?"
My sister was quite busy the past few days and couldn't find the time, but she's free today. Come on, let's go to the practice room and I'll teach you."
Upon seeing Li Xianyu, Li Muge immediately walked towards him.
Li Xianyu, whose thoughts were in disarray, immediately came to her senses, rolled her eyes at Li Muge, and said with a sneer, "All you know is one fighting technique."
With that, Li Xianyu turned and went back to his room without looking back.
"Huh?"
Li Muge looked completely bewildered.
She was a top student in the elite class, and her younger sister used to respect her a lot and would often pester her to guide her in martial arts training. Why did she feel like her sister was disliking her today?
