Chương 209: War God’s — Chapter 210 - Preparing Materials, Forging Stellar Bones, The Moving Relic

"I have a rather special breathing method." Wang Xian looked at the group, then gave Ye Miyue a glance.

"After experimenting with it for a while, I feel it should work well for New Martial Arts practitioners too."

"You can start practicing it. Should be useful down the line."

"A breathing method?"

"Right. Combine it with the Primordial Unity Stance we practiced in school, along with Body-Strengthening Fist." Wang Xian planned to start with Ye Miyue and gradually spread the Primordial Unity Breathing Method to those around him. Once the effects showed, and Chen Yuting's medicine was ready, they could slowly combine the breathing method with the medicinal agents. That would let them condense crystal walls during meridian opening, then gradually cultivate Divine Meridians.

They also wouldn't need to fear Spirit Malevolence as much. The next relic expedition would go much smoother than for other warriors. Once these four showed no problems, their different talent profiles would serve as safety proof for wider promotion.

"I've been practicing this breathing method for a long time..." Ye Miyue stepped forward and looked at the others.

"I'll pass it to Xu Rong. Wang Xian will teach the rest of you."

"Don't tell me you started back in high school?" Zhou Xukun said suddenly. Ye Miyue's cheeks flushed. She nodded slightly.

"Damn!" Zhou Xukun pointed at Wang Xian.

"I was wondering how her life force suddenly surged before she even awakened her talent... It was because of this?"

"Old Wang, you've gone too far! Bros before... you know! Instead of teaching your brother first, you gave it to Iceberg Ye!"

"Your Body-Strengthening Fist hasn't even reached the threshold, and your stance work is mediocre." Wang Xian wore an expression that said he knew exactly what Zhou Xukun was about.

"The moment vacation hits, you're gaming nonstop. You think you'd have the focus to practice this?"

"Cultivating this breathing method requires mental clarity. No distractions."

"Damn, I had great grades back then, and you're saying my mind was cluttered?"

"Could you have quit your ancestral craft back then? If you can't quit it, you can't practice this."

"..."

"No way. Can't practice it." Zhou Xukun waved his hands repeatedly.

"If I quit that, my ancestors would curse me from the grave." This breathing method was too demanding. Even the ancestral craft had to go.

"..." The group fell silent.

"No such requirement in college," Wang Xian said.

"Just practice when you have time..."

"Oh, then I can practice it." Zhou Xukun nodded.

"What's the ancestral craft?" Ye Miyue looked at them blankly.

"When I practiced, there was no such requirement." Xu Rong walked over and whispered in Ye Miyue's ear, then giggled.

"..." Ye Miyue stared at Wang Xian. She shot him a reproachful look. How could there be such a requirement? Stolen novel; please report. Wang Xian was clearly lying. Except Wang Xian wasn't lying. The Primordial Unity Breathing Method synthesized many heaven-man unity concepts from Old Martial Arts. It emphasized inhaling and exhaling heaven and earth's primal energy, refining qi into essence within the body. This slowly increased life force and enhanced potential.

In high school, before talent awakened, overindulging in that craft would drastically reduce the breathing method's effectiveness. Wang Xian taught them the breathing method one by one, explaining each mnemonic passage in detail. To be absolutely sure, he demonstrated it once in front of everyone. By the time the sun was nearly setting, they'd essentially mastered it. After finishing, they chatted briefly about old times. Only after catching up did they gradually disperse.

A few days later, representatives from the major universities departed Tiandu Jingwu one after another. With that, the second half of Wang Xian's semester settled into a normal rhythm. One week after the Grandmaster Banquet. Wang Xian arrived at Ten Thousand Martial Island, intending to exchange credits for materials needed to cultivate his leg Stellar Bones.

"The leg Stellar Bones connect to the feet..."

"Now that I have the Dual-Pole Lotus Root, I can be bolder with materials."

"No fear of problems." Ten Thousand Martial Island, fourth floor, materials section. Many material specimens were displayed here, not the actual items. The specimens just showed students the general effects. Every material required careful preservation and couldn't be casually displayed.

"F-rank to A-rank is the limit."

"I have over 100, 000 credits now. Compared to other students, it's more than I can spend."

"But S-rank materials are still out of reach."

"A-rank materials, though, I can consider." A-rank materials could forge tier-6 combat protective gear. Extremely expensive materials.

"Spatial power materials are essential. My foot Stellar Bones already have spatial power. To strengthen that, I need to add materials to the leg Stellar Bones that enhance spatial power." If strengthened properly, his speed would increase even more. Stellar Trace Step would grow stronger. Then Phantom Sword Art's Thousandfold Phantoms could stack more, faster, stronger. If his legs also had spatial power augmentation, Thousandfold Phantoms might break through the 1, 000-stack limit. Additionally.

"The Dual-Pole Lotus Root fused ice and fire energies."

"So choosing corresponding materials would be more suitable." Wang Xian examined the materials as he selected. After several rounds, he had several targets.

"Molten Hell Dragon Crystal. A-rank. Bones of a Molten Hell Demon Flame Dragon smelted into crystal. Contains high-temperature blazing currents. When circulated through the body, it instantly causes massive energy eruption. Generally used as main material for martial implements..."

"Netherworld Cold Marrow. S-rank. A-rank material from the East Sea Nether River seabed in a large unmanaged zone. When integrated into armor, forms ice armor and generates a pseudo-absolute-zero protective membrane. Easily withstands various attacks..."

"Both excellent materials!" As expected of Tiandu University. These rare materials demanded high credit costs, but were absolutely worth it! After locating these two key materials, Wang Xian searched further but found no suitable spatial materials. Indeed, even at Tiandu University, such materials were extremely scarce. S-rank spatial materials existed. But S-rank materials required too many credits. He couldn't afford them. Even if he could, he couldn't use them.

Even with the Dual-Pole Lotus Root as harmonizer, A-rank materials were the limit for leg Stellar Bones. The foot Stellar Bones used B-rank materials. If the legs used S-rank, the gap would be too large. Even if successful, problems would arise. Each step of Stellar Body Refinement Art progressed incrementally. For hand Stellar Bones, Wang Xian could consider S-rank materials. As for torso and brain bones, the two most critical Stellar Bones, Wang Xian naturally planned to use X-rank materials.

After all, in his previous life, his torso and brain bones had used X-rank materials. Unable to find suitable spatial materials on Ten Thousand Martial Island, Wang Xian wasn't anxious. He'd already found the two main materials. Only one remained. Progress had already exceeded his plan.

"Next, I just need suitable spatial material, and I can begin."

"If it's fast, I can forge the leg Stellar Bones this semester. With A-rank materials, my life force might surge straight into fourth realm..." Even if not quite that high, it wouldn't be far off. Then spend summer break consolidating. Fourth realm by sophomore year... This pace was far too fast. After exchanging for the two materials, Wang Xian pondered, then sought out specialized instructor Shen Lan. He explained the situation.

"A-rank spatial materials?"

"We have B-rank and S-rank, but A-rank spatial materials are hard to find..." Shen Lan mused for a moment. Her eyes suddenly lit up.

"However, Tiandu Martial Research Institute recently discovered a special relic in the coastal region. That relic seems able to move, very unusual. It's now settled on Tiandu's East Sea coast."

"Since the institute's people discovered it first, they're calling for exploration teams from major universities and martial clubs."

"If you're interested, you can try."

"You might find the materials you want." A relic that can move? Wang Xian froze. ➤ Next: Xiao Xi's Whereabouts, the Mysterious Relic
