After leaving the underground arena, Chu Yan frowned.
"I thought after gaining 2 million federal coins, I didn't have to think about money. I guess Martial Path is really for the rich, huh?" Chu Yan smiled bitterly.
Resources are one of the reasons why not many people are capable of reaching the realm of martial artists. If based on training alone, it takes several years for ordinary people to reach it.
Regardless of the resources, Chu Yan's will is still firm. If you don't face the hardship, how can you achieve your dream?
Chu Yan didn't think much about it and went to the training room of the Gale Wind Pavilion.
In the training room, the first thing Chu Yan does is read the biography of a martial artist. If one blinds training without any guide, not only would they go astray, but it would even lead to cultivation regression.
The biography of a martial artist explained the theory regarding the human constitution. The path of martial arts can also be considered the evolution of life. The first to third layer of a martial artist is to temper the skin and muscles.
In the training room, the first thing Chu Yan does is read the biography of Chu Yan's current realm at First Layer of Martial Artists. That is why Chu Yan broke through the Martial Artist realm. Even though his overall body has been strengthened, his skin and muscle power have increased a lot.
In terms of progression, 0–30% of tempering can be considered the first layer, 31–60% is the second layer, and 61–90% is the third layer of the martial artist. If one can temper his muscles and bones more than 90%, it can be considered peerless genius.
As for the fourth to sixth layers of a martial artist, the realm is to temper the bones of the human body. The seventh to ninth layers are tempering the blood. This is also why the realm of martial arts is known as the realm of body tempering, where all parts of the body are strengthened to the limit.
After several hours, Chu Yan put down the book. He has several understandings of the realm of martial arts.
After digesting the knowledge, Chu Yan took out the low-level spirit body forging that he bought. Based on what he learned, the difference in level of the method lies in the speed of training itself. The higher the grade, the faster the training. For example, the low-level grade of body forging method can only increase the training speed around 2 or 3 times, while intermediate-level training can increase around 6-7 times.
The name of the spirit body forging that Chu Yan chose is called the Calm Ocean Tide method. This cultivation method consists of only three styles: flowing water, river surging, and ocean tide. After completing full styles of Calm Ocean Tide for 2 hours, Chu Yan speculates the training speed increased by around 2.4 times normal training.
Chu Yan is neither sad nor happy since this level of increase should be normal for an ordinary practitioner. Then, Chu Yan tries to train and see how long he can practice until he reaches the limit.
After more than 6 hours, Chu Yan felt sore pain all over his body and immediately stopped training.
"Apparently three times of training is my limit." Chu Yan sighed while lying on the floor.
Chu Yan immediately opened the panel :
Name : Chu Yan
Race : Human
Bloodline : True White Tiger ( 0.001 % ) [ Unknown Level ]
Qualification : C ( 0 / 1000 )
Realm : First-Layer Of Martial Artist [ 64 / 2500 ]
(Skin and Muscle Tempering : 1%)
Training : Calm Ocean Tide method ( Low Grade )
Martial Arts : Basic Fist Technique [ Limit ]
Basic Sword Technique [ Limit ]
Basic Footwork Technique [ Limit ]
Attribute Point : 125
"It increases by about 63 points; if I train every day without skipping and using attribute points, I should reach the Second Layer of the Martial Artist realm about one month later," thought Chu Yan deeply.
It seems like after reaching the Martial Artist realm, the qualification should play a role in bridging the gap between ordinary and genius.
For ordinary people, increasing minorities has already made them satisfied for years, but for Chu Yan, it is not enough. He knows that there are many genius students, not only in White River City but also in several neighboring cities.
For example, the No. 1 genius of White River City, Mu Hai, already reached the peak of the Third Layer of Martial Artists two months ago. Which means, his cultivation realm has probably already reached at least the fourth or even fifth layer of martial artists.
If Chu Yan wants to catch up with those geniuses, he needs at least the Third Layer of Martial Artist before the start of the examination test.
Taking a deep breath, Chu Yan took out the spirit-tempering portion that he bought. These pills were of low-level yellow grade, which the major Martial Artist practitioner used to cultivate.
Immediately, a transparent word appeared in front of Chu Yan.
[Spirit Tempering Potion (Yellow Grade)]: Increases the speed of body tempering. [Suitable for practitioners in the Martial Artist realm and below only. ]
[ Whether to exchange for attribute points ? ]

Note: There is some mistake in the previous chapter; the duration of training should be two months, not two weeks.
