This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!

"I hope I'll have the opportunity to spar with my junior in the arena."

Cao Yiqing said with a smile to Li Fei.

Li Fei also smiled, "Definitely."

"Alright, class begins."

Wei Zhiquan suddenly spoke.

The three of them quieted down and turned their attention to him.

"The characteristic of True Qi is purity."

Unlike Ding Bo, Wei Zhiquan didn't ask questions but went straight to the point:

"It can bring out the intrinsic characteristics of the ten Heavenly Stems' Innate Qi to the extreme. For example, Yimu True Qi signifies the ultimate vitality, Ren Water True Qi the ultimate vastness, Bing Fire True Qi the ultimate masculinity, and Geng Metal True Qi the ultimate sharpness, and so forth.

Apart from this characteristic, True Qi is also the most compatible with other Implants' Innate Qi. Because True Qi is pure without any impurities, it doesn't easily conflict with other Implants."

After hearing the latter point, Li Fei finally understood why Wang Fengqing, a martial master at the Tao Foundation Stage, was attending the class.

She must want to learn how to use the characteristics of True Qi to assimilate other Implants, thereby laying a good foundation for her subsequent cultivation.

In the following time, Wei Zhiquan elaborated on some applications of True Qi, then he stopped and looked towards the three students:

"If you have any questions, you can ask them now."

Unlike Ding Bo who would lecture from beginning to end, Wei Zhiquan liked to let students discover their own problems and ask about them, which he would then address.

"Professor Wei, I have a question."

Cao Yiqing was the first to speak, "When I use Bing Fire True Qi to execute certain moves, I often feel unsmooth. Is it because being too rigid leads to brittleness?"

Wei Zhiquan looked at him, "Show me your moves."

And so Cao Yiqing stood up and demonstrated his techniques...

After Wei Zhiquan resolved Cao Yiqing's doubts, Wang Fengqing stood up to ask a question. As expected, it was about how to coordinate True Qi with other Implants.

Finally, it was Li Fei's turn to ask a question. He thought for a while, then said:

"Professor Wei, the characteristic of True Qi is purity. Is it possible to maintain its purity while allowing True Qi to merge with other energies?"

Wang Fengqing and Cao Yiqing were both somewhat surprised by the question.

Because such a question should be considered by a martial master at the Tao Foundation Stage, and moreover, only one who has integrated a second type of Implant and has cultivated it to the Qi Change Stage and acquired the second type of Innate Qi would need to consider such an issue.

Even Wang Fengqing did not need to face such questions at the moment.

Wei Zhiquan looked at Li Fei and said,

"To want to allow True Qi to merge with another energy, while also maintaining its purity, that other energy must also be True Qi."

Li Fei pondered this.

He asked the question because he wanted to know whether it was possible to thoroughly merge Blood Evil Qi with Geng Metal True Qi, and not just have them 'assembled' together as was currently the case.

Next, Wei Zhiquan went into detail about some of the considerations required for the fusion of two types of True Qi, which was very enlightening for Li Fei.

The class ended with this question and answer session.

After class, Li Fei returned to his dormitory and recorded his reflections from the morning's two classes in his notes.

He then went to the canteen for lunch and entered another classroom at exactly 2 p.m.

Professor Wen Ke was waiting inside.

This class was her newly started "Exploring the Heart Realm of the Geng Metal Series." Of the three courses, this was the one Li Fei was most looking forward to, as it related to how he should proceed with his Breakthrough.

"Professor Wen,"

Li Fei greeted Wen Ke with a bow.

"Go find a seat."

Wen Ke, still wearing a pair of black frame glasses, spoke in a gentle tone.

People gradually filed into the classroom, and before the class started, there were about a dozen students seated.

These individuals were all martial masters who practiced Geng Metal Innate Qi and had been stuck at the Heart Realm, unable to Breakthrough.

"Class begins."

Seeing that it was time to start, Wen Ke began her lecture:

"Geng Metal governs the essence of combat, so the Force of the Geng Metal series demands understanding the Slaughter Heart. I'm holding this course to help all of you grasp the Slaughter Heart."

The individuals present were struck by her statement.

Wen Ke's demeanor was gentle, and when such a gentle person talked about helping everyone to understand the Slaughter Heart in such a soft voice, it created quite a contrast.

"Since ancient times, it has been acknowledged that the battlefield is where one most easily understands the Slaughter Heart. In the history of the Da Lan Dynasty, several famous generals realized the Slaughter Heart on the battlefield."

Wen Ke didn't mind the strange looks from the audience and continued:

"Has anyone considered why it's easier to understand the Slaughter Heart on the battlefield?"

Because of Wen Ke's gentle temperament, unlike other professors at the Tao Foundation Stage who were imposing, students were more lively in her classes.

As soon as she asked, someone immediately answered:

"Because killing on the battlefield is for the country; it doesn't carry a sense of sin."

"Because on the battlefield, the more you kill, the more glorious it is!"

"Because there's no stronger atmosphere of combat than on the battlefield."

"..."

The students discussed variously.

After everyone had their say, Wen Ke smiled and shook her head:

"All of you are partially correct, but that's not the key reason. The ease of understanding the Slaughter Heart on the battlefield is due to the fact that's where most killing happens."

"..."

The audience was stunned by the answer.

No one had expected this to be the reason.

"Professor Wen, does understanding the Slaughter Heart mean one must kill a great many people?"

Someone asked.

Wen Ke still shook her head:

"Killing many people doesn't necessarily mean that one will grasp the Slaugher Heart; it could also lead to becoming a demon of murder. The key to the Slaughter Heart is being clear about why one kills at all times, whether it's killing one person or a million, and not letting it affect one's Heart Realm. That's what the Slaughter Heart is."
