Chapter 15: Exploring the Heart Realm, The Slaughter Heart (Major Chapter)
"Good morning, Professor Ding."
At 9 a.m., Li Fei entered the classroom and saluted a middle-aged man.
The man's name was Ding Bo, and he was the one who had gone to the arena with Wen Ke to watch Li Fei's martial arts competition, also a professor in Wuda's Zhi Ge Department.
Ding Bo had already opened two courses in Wuda, one "Spiral Strangulation," and one "Detailed Explanation of Force Transformation."
Among them, "Spiral Strangulation" was a Martial Art he had created himself, activated by Innate Qi and applicable to various natures of Innate Qi, a high-level Martial Art that Martial Masters at the Qi Change Early Stage could cultivate.
As for the Force Transformation, it involved high-end operations that could only be touched upon in the Qi Change Late Stage, also a profound skill.
Now he had opened another course, "Innate Qi Practical Analysis," which was to teach martial masters how to apply Innate Qi in real combat.
"Mhm."
Ding Bo nodded at Li Fei, "Find a seat for yourself."
Currently, there were already more than twenty people sitting in the classroom.
There were quite a few Martial Master Level students with a total of 120 Academic Points, and they did not want to miss a course taught by a Tao Foundation strongman.
On seeing Li Fei, these students had complex expressions.
Some smiled in greeting, some were expressionless, and some showed envy...
Li Fei found an empty seat in the back row, quietly waiting for the class to begin.
"Okay, it's time."
Two minutes later, Ding Bo glanced at his Pocket Watch and said, "Those who haven't arrived don't need to come to the class."
This professor hated latecomers the most; if anyone was late, they didn't need to attend this lesson.
"Can any of you tell me what the essence of Innate Qi is?"
Ding Bo immediately raised a big question as soon as the class began.
"..."
All the students present fell silent.
"Li Fei, you answer!"
Unexpectedly, Ding Bo directly called Li Fei's name.
Among these students present, he only knew the name of Li Fei.
Li Fei stood up calmly:
"Innate Qi is a form of energy that is jointly unleashed through the fusion of the human body and the Implant."
"And Force?"
Ding Bo neither agreed nor disagreed and continued his inquiry.
Li Fei: "Force is a more advanced form of energy than Innate Qi."
"And why is Force considered more advanced than Innate Qi?"
Ding Bo looked at Li Fei.
Li Fei replied without hesitation: "Because Force is more condensed. If Innate Qi is iron, then Force is steel."
"Mhm."
Ding Bo nodded, signaling Li Fei to sit down:
"Not a bad analogy, Innate Qi is iron, Force is steel, forged through a hundred refinings!"
He looked at all the students present:
"You all know that to train Force, you must first overcome the hurdle of the heart and grasp the corresponding Heart Realm to forge it into steel. This class I'm teaching will not tell you how to grasp the Heart Realm, but I will teach you how to forge your 'iron!' Even if you cannot forge 'steel' in the end, at least your 'iron' will be stronger and harder than others'!"
All the students showed a look of anticipation at this statement.
They were martial masters stuck at the Qi Change Early Stage. If they couldn't break through the Heart Realm and grasp the Heart Realm for a long time, they had to find other ways to enhance their Combat Power.
There were martial masters in this world who could defeat Refining Strength Martial Masters beyond their level, such as Ding Bo who was teaching the class. Even when he was still at the martial master level, he had defeated Refining Strength Martial Masters multiple times!
In the following time, Ding Bo got straight to the point, explaining various practical techniques for using Innate Qi, all useful information!
During the explanations, Ding Bo occasionally called Li Fei to the front to demonstrate, giving pointers on how to use Geng Metal True Qi and allowing the other students to observe.
As a result, it was natural that Li Fei gained the most from the class.
Although the other students were envious and jealous, they couldn't really say anything.
It was clear to the discerning eye that the three professors opened new classes specifically for Li Fei; thus, the rest of the students should even be thankful to Li Fei.
Without him, they might not even have had the chance to attend this new class taught by Ding Bo.
After an hour-long class, Li Fei gave his thanks to Ding Bo.
"You can come to me with any questions at any time."
Ding Bo patted Li Fei's shoulder, saying so.
This scene once again made the surrounding students turn green with envy.
A Tao Foundation Stage powerhouse was never someone you could simply ask for guidance from.
Even in Wuda, many professors were only responsible for teaching, not for answering questions. Students had to figure things out for themselves if they didn't understand something.
"Thank you, Professor Ding."
Li Fei gave another salute, then left the classroom.
Next, he had to hurry to the next class—
"Good morning, Professor Wei."
Li Fei greeted a man who looked to be in his fifties.
His full name was Wei Zhiquan, also a professor. The course he was teaching was called "True Qi Detailed Explanation."
Although the Innate Qi cultivated by Professor Wei Zhiquan was Yimu True Qi, not of the same system as Li Fei's, he could still instruct Li Fei on various aspects of True Qi.
"Find yourself a seat."
Professor Wei Zhiquan nodded indifferently and said to Li Fei.
This time, there were very few people sitting in the classroom, including Li Fei, just three persons, one of whom was Wang Fengqing.
"Junior Brother Li, we meet again."
Wang Fengqing greeted Li Fei.
Li Fei nodded: "Hello, Senior Sister."
He hadn't expected Wang Fengqing, who was already at the Tao Foundation Stage, to still attend the True Qi course, indicating that what Professor Wei Zhiquan was teaching must be exceptional!
Meanwhile, another male student not far away took the initiative to greet Li Fei:
"Hello, Junior Brother Li, my name is Cao Yiqing."
"Hello, Senior Brother Cao."
Li Fei politely responded.
He had seen the name Cao Yiqing before, at the top of the martial master combat power ranking in the arena!
