Transcending Evolution Chapter 13

Edited by Akshaythedon

Ok. So this chapter was supposed to be out a long time ago, but we got an editor, and it made this a lot smoother.

We have two who we thank for contributing to this chapter’s release.

Immortal Dreamer and SnowTime. Please thank them.

If you are wondering why, it’s because we don’t have a set translator for this novel.

"In one week, we'll divide people into groups for an examination. If I am able to move a step further, perhaps when the moment comes to pa.s.s the exam, getting into the elite cla.s.s wouldn't be hopeless."

Reaching the peak of the fourth refinement stage could only be considered average within the cla.s.s. There was something more to it than just seeing only one student who completed their seventh refinement. That was because a large bottleneck existed between the sixth and seventh stages. A lot of students had stopped when they reached the peak of their sixth and were unable to break through.

Group examinations would be held two weeks after the cla.s.ses started.

When students reached the third grade, the division among them, with regards to cultivation, became more clear; it became as p.r.o.nounced as black and white. So, regrouping them was absolutely necessary. The better their results were, the higher level their cla.s.s. With Gu Yue's second refinement, the final allocation of the various cla.s.ses that were provided were naturally not optimistic.

Those cla.s.ses were more or less arranged randomly. The school also had Yuan training rooms, martial art fields, gravity rooms, and all sorts of other cultivation rooms. There were also some nutrition subsidies, and these were all distributed according to cla.s.s ranking groups. The treatment between cla.s.s one and twenty were as different as the sky and earth.

"I absolutely can't end up in the last ten cla.s.ses, otherwise, I won't even have the qualifications to enter any of the training rooms. Then trying to advance would become even farther away."

This was the common understanding between all students. Unless it was the top three ranking cla.s.ses, the amount of nutritional subsidies they got was worth around just a couple hundred credits, which wasn't much at all. Furthermore, they may not even be able to obtain other resources, and the difference would then only become even larger.

The Source Energy training room was similar to the martial arts practice rooms. Seventh Senior High School was just an ordinary high school; the equipment was poor, the yuan training rooms only have grade two arrays with the source energy concentration reaching six fold of the outside world.

[TL: So, it's not a middle school, but a senior high school. School’s name is succeeded by the character 中, that means it’s actually [school name] 高中 which is [school name] senior high school – advised by Immortal Dreamer.]

Martial arts field, the degree of importance of these rooms were no less inferior to the source energy training rooms. In fact, it was just an ordinary fighting room, but with some virtual opponents added. What was more important was the freedom of selection of opponents in the martial arts field.

Furthermore, there were weapon refining rooms, meditation rooms and similar places in great abundance. Compared to the Chu Han martial building, it was much more enriched. While in a training room, you get twice the effect with half the effort.

However, the ones that were able to use these facilities to train were the elite students. In simple terms, they must be able to enter the top three cla.s.ses during cla.s.s a.s.sessment. Especially for those in third grade ranking one cla.s.s, also called the genius cla.s.s, they possessed more than half the usage rights of the training rooms and were all a.s.signed to these forty students.

The school followed an elite system. After all, the strong are stronger, the weak are weaker. This was also inevitable due to the New Age. When one expert appeared, the role he/she was able to play would be stronger than one hundred mediocre ones. Entering the genius cla.s.s was equivalent to entering the path of the fastest advancement. Supplementary facilities, cultivation resources, high subsidies and more would all be gathered and provided.

The lower their cla.s.s ranking, the scarcer the resources. In the last ten cla.s.ses, the cultivation resources they could obtain was almost none. They were weak in the first place, with no school resources or support, their future would naturally be more bleak and any advancement would become uncertain.

Before, with Gu Yue's body at the second refinement stage, what genius cla.s.ses? He didn't even need to think about elite cla.s.ses. With his him barely having reached the fourth refinement, it was still on the lower side of average, it was already very hard to try to get into the top ten cla.s.ses.

"According to the situation in the previous years, I need at least sixth level of body refinement to enter the elite cla.s.s. As for genius cla.s.s, it is only possible at seventh level refinement or higher. But, the cla.s.s examination also consists of real combat, besides your cultivation, it also depends on your mastery of martial skills. Yes, this was also my weak link, after all. An insignificant Arhat Boxing can’t rise to the scene no matter how much it’s perfected.

He calmly and quietly recalled the Rus.h.i.+ng Wolf Fist style's obscure meaning, the numerous fragments of fist skills taught by Aunt Mei; most of the originally blurred memories now cleared up and emerged. In a blink of an eye, the entire set of Rus.h.i.+ng Wolf Fist linked up in his mind, and as if there was another him, his mind started to go though the moves. One action, one move at a time, accurate and coherent.

This is the ability to never forget!

Although high spiritual power cannot immediately influence the growth of cultivation, it’s action on cultivation would be reflected slowly.

Gu Yue a.s.sumed a fighting stance and started to slowly exercise. At first, it was still very jerky, but soon, his moves became more and more proficient and also fast. His style became more and more coherent with the speed becoming faster and faster.

"First move, Wolf Bite!"

"Second move, Wolf Pounce!"

"Third move, Wolf Claw!"

"Fourth move, Wolf Howl!"

An invisible aura spread throughout the room. In the small training room, it was as if a savage hungry wolf was causing a ma.s.sacre. Gu Yue moved nonstop, his left hand then his right hand went out. Bursts of sound continued without stopping and a mournful scream constantly echoed in the room.

Fortunately, this room was especially built to practice. The materials selected were all extremely firm with strong resistance, if it were a normal room, then with just a bit of disturbance from his fist, it would explode and brake.

"Final move, Wolf Walk, Land Under the Heavens!"

His running speed had already been raised to the limits, a phantom was created behind him. It looked like a group of wolves surrounding an enemy and launching a violent offensive at the same time.

"Bang!" The air was thoroughly blown through, the violent air wantonly washed away and the peace returned only after a long time. Gu Yue's figure stood firmly, dripping with sweat and steam rose around him. From the extreme ones to subtle and gentle movements, it was completed easily without any hindrance.

"Worthy of being called a middle-level martial skill, its might isn't something the arhat boxing can compare to." Gu Yue wasn't satisfied. From entry level to proficient level, he performed the Rus.h.i.+ng Wolf Fist madly until he made a cultivation breakthrough. But, he knew that he still needed to blend the comprehensions within his mind into the style. The fist technique's small success wasn't much.

"Drip drop drip drop!" Suddenly, a crisp electric ring echoed out, Gu Yue, looking distracted, and hurriedly started the ident.i.ty microchip. A seemingly thin and monkey looking friend spoke, "Gu Yue, you…what are you doing?! Why have you not gone up to see the G.o.d of War Network."

"What else would it be! Just closed door cultivation to prepare to fly in the sky and shock a few people." Gu Yue replied with a smile.

"I say they'll laugh until their jaws drop." Liu Wei didn't mind it, he waved his hand, saying, "Quickly come onto the G.o.d of War Network, there's a good show that's about to begin. That guy, Jiang Bieli from Second Senior High, challenged a member of the Demon Hunting Group who's at the ninth level of body refinement."

"Isn't Jiang Bieli at the seventh level of body refinement?" Gu Yue was immediately interested, he and Liu Wei liked observing experts battle at the G.o.d of War Network the most.

"That's right, he wants to challenge someone two levels higher, and they say the stakes aren't small. The entire G.o.d of War Network is abuzz due to the news!" Liu Wei said excitedly. "Come quickly, to room number 13547, the battle will begin soon."

"Coming!" Gu Yue was immediately interested, he absolutely couldn't miss a battle between experts.

Laying on the bed, Gu Yue initiated the ident.i.ty microchip and accessed the G.o.d of War Network. He operated it a little and soon saw the scene before his eyes go dark; by the time it became bright again, he had arrived at a place which looked to be like an arena from ancient Rome.

"Wow, so many people." The ring shaped battle ground had seats on layer by layer for the purpose of observing, which were currently filled with about a thousand people right now. This was only  a battle between martial artists at the body refinement realm.

The s.p.a.ce before Gu Yue's eyes turned fuzzy, Liu Wei's figure appeared there. He sized up Gu Yue up and down, feeling something different about him.

"Strange, why do I feel that you are a bit different now?"

"Do I look more handsome?" Gu Yue snapped his finger, a small mirror appearing within his palm; seeing his reflection, he sighed. "Ah, endowed with natural beauty too hard to hide, there's indeed no medicine for a person this good-looking."

"Get lost, I see your face has become thicker," Liu Wei teased and then sized him up again. "Ahh, really! Your face has thickened, and aura has changed, as if you have shed the mortal body and exchanged it's bones. Were it not for your face, I would have thought you were someone else!"

"Let's go quickly and take a look at the fight!" Gu Yue laughed. Taking a look towards the battle platform, his line of sight fixed at the arena's center.

Jiang Beili, sixteen years old, Second Senior High School, third grade. Cultivation level, body refinement seventh level.

Meng Shan, twenty-four years old, a member of the Mountain Eagle Demon Hunting group. Cultivation level, body refinement ninth level.

Their basic info was displayed at the top of the platform. Gu Yue didn't know much about Meng Shan but Jiang Bieli was G.o.d of War Network's man of the moment, he had a well-known reputation. Gu Yue had seen several of his fights before.

"You ought to know about Jiang Bieli but Meng Shan also isn't an ordinary person. The Mountain Eagle Demon Hunting Group's strength is too strong, even though Meng Shan is a reserve, he has rich real combat experience. They say he can even escape unscathed from a Qi Manifestation realm martial artist's attack successfully."

"That's too exaggerated, a Qi Manifestation realm martial artist is an existence that can cultivate true yuan, how can Body Refinement Realm deal with it?"

Martial artists undergo a breakthrough while ability users call it evolution. But, it was all the same. A breakthrough in boundary signified an improvement in const.i.tution, speed, power as well as the sensitivity of mental response which caused a substantial increase in power, and not to speak of being able to cultivate true yuan.

Breaking into Qi Manifestation stage, their strength would increase tenfold and their perfectly refined body can be used to perform powerful martial art moves to kill others, so how could he let the other escape unscathed?
