Chapter 11

“My Curved Hand Blade has finally reached the Intent Realm!”

Chu Zhou stood up from the grass and raised his right hand against the sunlight.

Suddenly, there was a mysterious change in his right hand as a hint of sharp aura was emitted.

It was as if it was not a hand but an incomparably sharp knife.

At this moment, a fallen leaf fell with the wind and happened to touch Chu Zhou’s right hand.

His right hand did not move at all.

The fallen leaf, however, was silently split into two.

He walked to the side of the big rock that had a cut off with the curved hand knife last time. He faced the big rock with his palm and slowly reached out.

Splat!

His entire palm sank into the boulder without any resistance.

“The control of power of the Intent Realm Curved Hand Blade has almost entered the microscopic level.”

“Its might is probably close to a Proficient Realm C-rank combat technique.”

Chu Zhou exclaimed and pulled his palm out of the rock, leaving a palm-shaped hole.

Then, he looked at the Attribute Board and saw the Curved Hand Blade that did not have enough attribute points to upgrade. He fell into deep thought.

He roughly understood that ‘unupgradable’ on the Attribute Board probably meant that there were insufficient attribute points for an upgrade and not that he could not upgrade because he reached the limit.

What did that mean?

This meant that even if the Curved Hand Blade had reached the Intent Realm, the highest realm in theory, it could still continue to level up.

“Currently, the Curved Hand Blade is only a D-rank combat technique… When the Curved Hand Blade is upgraded to the sixth, seventh, eighth… tenth, or even the hundredth level, will it still be a D-rank combat technique?”

“If the Curved Hand Blade is upgraded to the hundredth level, it should be comparable to a S-rank combat technique!”

“If that is the case for the Curved Hand Blade… It should be the same for combat techniques and breathing…”

Chu Zhou exclaimed, sighing about how his “Attribute Talent” was too abnormal.

He looked at the Attribute Board again.

Basic Breathing Technique (D-rank): Level Three (Unupgradable)

This time, his gaze fell on the breathing technique.

Breathing techniques were far more important than combat techniques to the martial artists.

He could only increase his Life Field Energy and evolve only by cultivating and breathing.

Chu Zhou had previously felt that his combat strength was insufficient, and his Basic Breathing Technique had always been unupgradable. That was why he had spent all the attribute points he had accumulated on the Curved Hand Blade.

Now that the Curved Hand Blade had already reached the Intent Realm—

It was sufficient for his use.

His next goal was to upgrade the Basic Breathing Technique.

“Big Sister Saber said that the Basic Breathing Technique is the core of everything. The Basic Breathing Technique is the only D-rank breathing technique among us humans. It is also the origin of all breathing techniques.”

“All human breathing techniques, regardless of their level, are developed from these basic breathing techniques.”

“Someone once said that even though the Basic Breathing Technique doesn’t have any special attributes or characteristics, it’s actually the most comprehensive cultivation technique. It might be the strongest Breathing Technique no matter the level if one can cultivate the Basic Breathing Technique to a higher level. Unfortunately, no one has ever verified it.”

“I’ll verify it since no one has verified it before!”

Chu Zhou thought to himself with great ambition.

The Basic Breathing Technique only had three levels. He had already cultivated it to the limit.

Next, he would break through its limits.

However, he only had 1.1 attribute points now.

He had to continue accumulating them.

At this moment, he was sincerely grateful to the three attackers who had contributed 100,000 Alliance Dollars to him.

100,000 Alliance Dollars allowed him to accumulate attribute points three times faster.

“It’s about time to go home for lunch!”

Chu Zhou stood up and strode out of the forest.

However, before he left, he stared thoughtfully at a dense patch of flowers in the small forest.

Liu Qianqian walked out from behind the patch of flowers sometime after Chu Zhou left.

“The person who used the Mastery Realm Curved Hand Blade here last time was indeed him!”

Liu Qianqian looked in the direction Chu Zhou left in shock.

She had serious suspicion that Chu Zhou was the person who used the Mastery Realm Curved Hand Blade in the small forest ever since she saw him break Jin Zhennan’s C-rank combat techniques Killing Fist, with an incomparably exquisite Curved Hand Blade in the canteen.

However, she was not familiar with Chu Zhou so she could not ask him directly.

Furthermore, the degree of mastery of a combat technique was also related to a martial artist’s safety. Asking others about the realm of their combat technique was a taboo.

Therefore, she could only choose to “squat” here.

She uncovered the truth unexpectedly.

However… The truth was a little scary.

She walked to the place where Chu Zhou had been meditating, picked up the two halves of the leaf that had been cut open, and walked to a large rock. She looked at a palm-shaped hole on it and was in a daze.

“Mastery Realm Curved Hand Blade definitely doesn’t have such power!”

“Could it be the Perfection Realm… Or even Intent Realm?”

Liu Qianqian was agitated and could not control herself.

She did not expect that Chu Zhou, who was as famous as her, had actually cultivated the Curved Hand Blade to such a terrifying realm.

“Chu Zhou, he has hidden himself too deeply.”

“He probably wouldn’t be inferior to those monsters from the First High School if his physical talent wasn’t average and his Life Field Energy wasn’t high.”

“Hehe, Jin Zhennan actually wants to snatch his spot. He simply doesn’t know his place!”

She sneered and a trace of disdain flashed across her eyes thinking of the recent rumors circulating in the school

…

Another two days passed.

On this day, Chu Zhou suddenly received a message from Big Sister Dao asking him to go to the administrative office immediately.

“Administrative office? Could Jin Jingmao be planning to play tricks on me again?”

Chu Zhou thought of the attack not long ago and a cold glint flashed across his eyes.

It was never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

However he, Chu Zhou, would take revenge all day long.

If not for the fact that he was not strong enough and the time and place were not suitable, he really wanted to rush into the administrative office and destroy Jin Jingmao.

He quickly arrived at the administrative office and walked in.

However, to his surprise, he was not the only one who came this time.

Jin Zhennan was there.

Liu Qianqian and Zhou Tong, two Advanced Apprentices who were as famous as him, were also there.

In addition to the four students, Big Sister Saber and the Academic Director, Jin Jingmao, were also present.

Moreover, there was also an old man in a suit with white hair.

At this moment, Jin Jingmao’s office seat was occupied by the old man in the suit.

Vice Principal Zhou Sen!

Chu Zhou immediately recognized the old man in the suit.

“Heh, Chu Zhou, you’re really arrogant. You’re the last to arrive and made Principal Zhou Sen and us wait for you!”

Jin Jingmao said in a strange voice seeing Chu Zhou enter.

“Jin Jingmao, you’re deliberately making things difficult for my student, Chu Zhou! There will always be someone who will be the last to arrive… They will rush over immediately when they receive the message. It hasn’t even been five minutes since I sent the message to Chu Zhou! Chu Zhou is already very timely.”

Big Sister Dao glanced at Jin Jingmao coldly and defended Chu Zhou.

This stinky dog, I must kill him when I have the chance!

Chu Zhou thought to himself, staring coldly at Jin Jingmao.

“Alright, let’s get down to business since everyone is here!”

Vice Principal Zhou Sen said. Big Sister Dao and Jin Jingmao immediately quietened down.

“You should know that the government’s strong support for school and education is the reason why our high school can always provide you students with so much cheap high-energy food and conveniences!”

Vice Principal Zhou Sen spoke, his gaze sweeping across Chu Zhou, Liu Qianqian, Jin Zhennan, and Zhou Tong.

Chu Zhou and the others nodded slightly.

They knew this already.

“Well, it seems you’re all aware of that.”

Vice Principal Zhou Sen revealed a satisfied expression and continued seeing Chu Zhou and the others nod in agreement.

“You should know that rights and obligations are equal.”

“The government has paid such a huge price to nurture you, so you have to bear the corresponding responsibilities and obligations.”

“Before you entered the school, the school signed a contract with you, stating that they can call you for assistance if the government needs help.”

Chu Zhou and the others nodded again. They had indeed signed such a contract.

“Now… your mission is here.”

“Recently, Jiang City students have disappeared one after another, and the number of missing people is still increasing rapidly… The police have confirmed that this was done by the fallen martial artists lurking in our Jiang City…”

“However, these fallen martial artists are very cunning. They have many strongholds in addition to their numbers. They are also especially good at hiding and escaping. It will be difficult to capture them all in a short time even if the police dispatch all of their people.”

“Therefore, the police asked all high schools in Jiang City to dispatch Advanced Apprentice to help capture the fallen martial artists.”

“There are only four Advanced Apprentices in our school. The principal has decided to let all four of you participate in this assistance mission.”

Vice Principal Zhou Sen said, revealing the reason why he had summoned Chu Zhou and the others.
