Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along-Chapter 433 - 123: Dantian 83.7, Sea of Qi 82.1

"Your first class upon entering the Academy is to first cultivate the Dantian Secret Manual!"

"The primary purpose of the Dantian Secret Manual, as the name suggests, is to develop the Dantian Sea of Qi.

For those students whose Dharma Aspect is not yet perfected, don’t worry. This Dantian Secret Manual will not only help you develop your Dantian Sea of Qi but also assist you in awakening your Dharma Aspect, aiding you to become a Martial Arts Grandmaster sooner.

Of course, the premise is that an Academy teacher should guide you in cultivation. Attempting to cultivate on your own, especially if your Dharma Aspect is not yet perfected, can lead to demonic deviation and ruin all your efforts.

As for those students who have successfully developed their Dantian Sea of Qi, you can also use the Dantian Secret Manual to fill your Dantian, allowing the Sea of Qi to reach perfection, and in the future, nurture a Spiritual Root from the Dantian!

In short, this manual is of vital importance to each of you."

Pei Haidong didn’t linger on Zhang Lingfeng.

Instead, he distributed the Dantian Secret Manual to the students.

Zhang Lingfeng got the new Dantian Secret Manual and found that the content was identical to the one given by Qin Xin, except Qin Xin’s manual contained their personal insights and cultivation annotations on every page.

This made it easier for him to understand this Cultivation Secret Technique and gain the power he desired.

"In a moment, you will undergo a strength assessment, and those with outstanding strength will receive more favorable resource subsidies based on their national exam scores.

But don’t be overly concerned about your current strength. The strong should not be arrogant, and the weak should not be self-deprecating.

The Academy is a place for creating miracles. Today’s starting point doesn’t equal your future life. I believe that under the Academy’s cultivation, all your metrics will see significant growth. I wish you good luck."

Another instructor from the Academy said.

The crowd then queued up for the assessment.

Initially, it was thought that the strength assessment would check everything, like the Sea of Consciousness value, Spiritual Power, Skill levels, Dharma Level, and to what extent the Dantian and Sea of Qi had been reached.

However, Zhang Lingfeng noticed that the Academy initially didn’t seem to care about everyone’s Spiritual Power or Sea of Consciousness value, among other things. They only cared about each person’s Dharma Level and whether they had developed their Dantian Sea of Qi. If developed successfully, to what level the Dantian and Sea of Qi had reached.

It seems, in the eyes of the Academy,

assisting every student to become a Martial Arts Grandmaster and successfully developing their Dantian Sea of Qi is the top priority, while Telekinesis Level and Spiritual Power are secondary.

Zhang Lingfeng had an epiphany.

The Dantian Sea of Qi is the power nurturing the Spiritual Root.

For humans to contend with the Alien Demon Gods, they can only rely on nurturing the Spirit Root Power and become a true Realm Traveler to contend with Alien Demon Beasts.

Otherwise, even with a pseudo-Spiritual Root, one will, like Tiangong, be powerless against Alien Demon Beasts.

It’s evident that the Academy’s goal is solely to cultivate more Realm Travelers, and what level everyone’s Spirit Root Level will reach is not their current concern.

Perhaps only when everyone has developed their Dantian Sea of Qi and become Martial Arts Grandmasters, the Academy’s teachers will then instruct them on how to enhance their Spiritual Power, Sea of Consciousness value, and related information about nurturing a Spiritual Root.

Things should be taken step by step, and although Zhang Lingfeng had questions, he could only follow the arrangements made by the Academy’s teachers.

Soon it was his turn for the assessment.

Standing in front of an instrument, Zhang Lingfeng sensed a wave similar to Spiritual Sense penetrating into his body.

He saw several Spirit Stones placed on top of the instrument.

Around the Spirit Stones were some special Rune Spells, which, in conjunction with the Spirit Stones, allowed the instrument to emit Spiritual Sense power, precisely detecting everyone’s cultivation realm.

Zhang Lingfeng wasn’t sure if his thoughts were correct.

Soon after, he saw his data content.

Successful in Introducing Qi into the Body, Dantian: None, Sea of Qi: None.

This data content made Liu Yang, Zhuang Lifan, Huyan Cheng, and other first and second-tier Martial Dao students secretly pleased, thinking they might surpass Zhang Lingfeng.

Especially Liu Yang, Zhuang Lifan, and Huyan Cheng.

They had already developed their Dantian Sea of Qi. Although the Dantian wasn’t yet filled, and the Sea of Qi wasn’t perfected, the related data showed that unlike Zhang Lingfeng, both items were not "None."

That day, Zhang Lingfeng could easily defeat them, mainly relying on Spear Intent and Spiritual Domain.

In terms of realm, he was inherently inferior to them.

Everyone knew the importance of nurturing a Spiritual Root.

Zhuang Lifan, Liu Yang, and others had full confidence in nurturing a Spiritual Root before Zhang Lingfeng and becoming a powerful Realm Traveler.

At that time, even if Zhang Lingfeng’s Spiritual Demon Realm bridged with Real World powers, it would shatter under the vibrations of their Spirit Root Power.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Lifan and others felt a surge of fighting spirit.

"Values of two percent and three percent show as none; it seems in the eyes of the Academy’s teachers, the Dantian only has two differences: having or not having it. As long as the Dharma is not completely condensed into one, Dantian power cannot manifest in the abdominal cavity, and it’s as if I have no Dantian.

Without a Dantian, there’s no mention of having a Sea of Qi."

Zhang Lingfeng self-muttered in his heart. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

After a while, Liu Chuan and Lin Chunchi were also assessed.

Both not only successfully introduced Qi into the Body, but also had Dantian and Sea of Qi, with values between 10.0 and 11.2.

Then it was Zhuang Lifan and the other two’s turn.

Not only did they possess the Dantian Sea of Qi, but both values even exceeded 14.0, outperforming Liu Chuan and Lin Chunchi by far, as true Martial Arts Grandmasters.
