CHAPTER 12: CHAPTER 12: RAPID ADVANCEMENT (DOUBLE CHAPTER)

At present, Jiang Ye was too lazy to sleep; having nightmares every day during this period made for restless nights.

While it was still early, Jiang Ye started practicing his punches in his room.

As soon as he assumed the fist stance, he immediately felt a difference.

"I seem to have a deeper understanding of the cultivation technique."

Jiang Ye recalled slightly and discovered that the teachings from Chen Zilu had become incredibly clear.

Even every detail was vividly present.

Previously, these memories were vague, with many details often overlooked.

"Is this what a genius feels like?"

Jiang Ye instantly immersed himself, intoxicated.

As the saying goes, ’A master leads the way, cultivation depends on oneself.’

No martial arts teacher can explain all cultivation details exhaustively.

So, insight during the teacher’s demonstrations depends entirely on the student.

Some areas, even with repeated observation, cannot be comprehended if you’re unable to grasp them.

But some martial arts geniuses can independently perceive those key points and benefit greatly from them.

And Jiang Ye now was precisely like this.

He observed Chen Zilu in memory, focusing on the chest, waist, hips, and other key parts.

"From beginning to end, the energy is connected; one move follows another, tightly interlocked."

"So, this is how to use ’Dragon Swings Tail’."

In just a few minutes, Jiang Ye greatly benefited.

He was in a state of abandonment, intoxicated, tireless, and continuously cultivating the Star Martial Cultivation Technique.

In a blink, daylight illuminated the sky.

Jiang Ye noticed the glorious sunlight through the window and only then realized it was already 11 AM.

Fortunately, today was his day off, and he didn’t need to go to school.

"I didn’t expect to practice for six hours straight."

Jiang Ye was drenched in sweat but felt profoundly enriched.

"I’ve heard that after reaching Great Success, the difficulty of improvement far exceeds Minor Success, yet why does it feel easier than Minor Success?"

Jiang Ye took three full days to progress from 99% to 100% with the cultivation technique’s Minor Success.

According to Chen Zilu, the difficulty of improvement after Great Success is more than five times higher than during Minor Success.

This means he might need half a month to progress just 1%.

But that was then.

"I wonder how much I’ve progressed." Jiang Ye looked at the interface with some apprehension.

[Cultivation Technique]

Star Martial Cultivation Technique: Great Success (3%)

——

"Only six hours, yet I’ve improved by 2%!?"

Seeing this scene, Jiang Ye couldn’t help but show a look of shock.

Logically, what takes a month can be done in six hours?!

"Is this my potential?"

Jiang Ye understood that such improvement was definitively tied to the physical enhancement he just underwent.

Presently, the Martial Bone had transformed to ’Mortal Body B Level,’ and his comprehension permanently enhanced by 10%.

This meant his martial arts aptitude had greatly improved.

Though still an original talent, it was already vastly different from before.

"This is just the reward for the first layer of the Martial Arts Celestial Ladder."

"With such an incredible first-layer reward, I wonder what future layers will offer?"

Jiang Ye was extremely eager.

Not to mention anything else, even if the second layer brings another physical transformation, it would be unbelievably amazing.

However, to enter the second layer, one probably needs to perfect the cultivation technique, or even break the First Break.

"Brother, brother~"

"Come out for lunch!"

While Jiang Ye was deep in thought, Jiang Ting’s crisp voice came from outside the door.

"Coming."

Jiang Ye replied, feeling hungry after practicing punches all morning.

...

At the dinner table, Jiang Ting looked at Jiang Ye and asked, "Brother, why didn’t you come out when I called you last night, even locked the door? Were you doing something bad in the room?"

Last night, when Jiang Ye entered the Martial Arts Celestial Ladder, he locked the door for precaution.

"Who taught you to say these things?"

Jiang Ye glanced at his sister.

Jiang Ting giggled and said, "My classmates say, if a boy locks himself in a room and doesn’t come out, he’s doing something bad."

Hearing this, Jiang Ye couldn’t help but recall his experience of getting pressed on the bed by various beauties all night.

Seeing Jiang Ye’s contemplative look, Jiang Ting put away her playful smile.

Her little face grew tense as she asked, "Brother, what did you do? Will the police come to arrest us?"

Seeing her expression, Jiang Ye immediately knocked her on the head and said, "Don’t let your imagination run wild. Eat!"

"Oh, oh."

Jiang Ting stuck out her tongue and obediently started eating.

Jiang Ye looked at the empty corner of the table and thought silently, "Both parents have gone for work."

Though Jiang Dahai was in night security, he sometimes had to be on duty during the day.

As for Li Anping, aside from her main job, she found a part-time job.

After all, Jiang Ye was in a crucial period now, with a daily appetite requiring substantial meals, inevitably leading to significant expenses.

"I’ve already broken through the Star Martial Cultivation Technique with Great Success, and according to the teacher, I can participate in trials to earn money."

"Though it might have to wait until next semester."

Speaking of this, Jiang Ye remembered that tomorrow was the day of the final assessment.

"Final assessment, I want to break into the top three!"

Jiang Ye thought to himself.

As long as he can enter the top three, he can receive scholarship money ranging from several thousand to over ten thousand, which is significant for him.

Jiang Ye glanced at Jiang Ting, who was earnestly devouring her meal, and a gentle look flickered in his eyes.

This home, although life was simple, was quite nice like this.

He hoped it could always be like this.

Suddenly.

Jiang Ye seemed to remember something.

He discreetly opened the ’Grounded Martial Arts Achievement’ interface to see if he could check Jiang Ting’s talent.

And the moment he aimed the interface at Jiang Ting.

Small lettering immediately appeared above Jiang Ting’s little head.

[Physical Constitution: Mortal Body]
