Cultivating Flying Knives?

Chen Mo explained that once the basic stance training reaches its perfected stage, one can absorb the medicinal effects of the Qi and Blood Pill with maximum efficiency.

Yesterday, a meal of ferocious beast meat gave him 2 points of Qi and Blood, but now, with a Qi and Blood Pill and last night's meal of ferocious beast meat, he only managed to condense 4 points of Qi and Blood. The effect left Chen Mo somewhat disappointed.

In comparison, the Qi and Blood Pill is not as practical as the meat of a ferocious beast.

After thinking for a while, Chen Mo understood what was going on.

Yesterday at noon, the meal of ferocious beast meat did indeed condense 2 points of qi and blood, but it also depleted the body's potential. Therefore, eating another meal in the evening was to replenish what was consumed.

According to Chen Mo's estimate, one Qi and Blood Pill can condense 3 points of Qi and Blood.

For Chen Mo now, this is already quite fast.

In the past, an ordinary Qi and Blood Pill would only allow him to condense a little bit of Qi and Blood.

The reasons are twofold: first, the basic stance training is only at a minor level, resulting in low absorption efficiency; second, the body's own absorption efficiency is poor.

It is important to know that when Chen Mo's mental strength broke through 100, the feedback from his mental strength transformed his body, increasing the efficiency of his body in absorbing energy and increasing the capacity for storing energy.

The perfect mastery of stance training and the strengthening of his physique allowed him to absorb the full effects of the Qi and Blood Pill in a short time, condensing three points of Qi and Blood.

"I'm just two points short of breaking through to the seventh-grade Martial Apprentice level. Should I take that premium Qi and Blood Pill?"

Chen Mo touched his chin, deep in thought.

"Never mind, let's check my own body first!"

Chen Mo examined his body internally and found that his internal organs and meridians had reached saturation and he had developed resistance to the Qi and Blood Pill. Taking more premium Qi and Blood Pills now would waste a lot of the medicinal power.

Since he could no longer eat, Chen Mo decided to apply for a sparring partner position.

"Mozi, drink some energy drinks to replenish your energy first."

Seeing that Chen Mo had stopped cultivating, Jiang Tao quickly spoke up.

"Okay! Throw it over here."

As soon as Chen Mo finished speaking, Jiang Tao casually tossed the energy drink to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo glanced at the arc of the energy drink as it flew towards him, predicted its landing point, reached out, and caught it steadily.

Unscrew the cap, take big gulps, and the cool, sweet and sour beverage flows into your stomach, dispelling the body's heat.

"Cool!"

After finishing the drink, Chen Mo crumpled the bottle into a ball and threw it into the trash can, where it landed precisely.

"Mo Zi! Precise!" Jiang Tao gave Chen Mo a thumbs up after he accurately threw the trash into the bin from more than ten meters away.

"Hehehe, basic stuff!" Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh.

"You're getting all cocky just because I gave you a compliment?" Jiang Tao couldn't help but roll his eyes. "I could do that too!"

After saying that, Jiang Tao actually went to the trash can, picked up the bottle from earlier, and walked towards Chen Mo.

"You think you can do it? I don't believe it!" Chen Mo said, feigning provocation.

The two of them would often joke around like this, adding a lot of fun to their otherwise tedious cultivation.

"Don't believe me? Just wait and see! Haha..."

Jiang Tao, full of confidence, walked up to Chen Mo and touched Chen Mo's shoulder.

Then he looked at the trash can, held up the bottle to show the distance between the two, as if he was aiming for the right direction.

"I'm watching!"

Chen Mo smiled.

A distance of ten meters or so is not much effort for people like them who have a single arm strength of over 600 kilograms, but accuracy is another matter.

"Alright, I'll show you what I'm capable of." Jiang Tao's fighting spirit was ignited. Without further hesitation, he aimed at the trash can and threw the bottle over.

The bottle flew out, arcing towards the trash can, and landed precisely inside.

"How was that? Pretty awesome, bro?"

Jiang Tao was smug when he saw that he had hit the target.

"Not bad!" Chen Mo replied with a smile.

"What do you mean 'okay'? You're clearly very strong, okay?!"

Jiang Tao was somewhat dissatisfied with Chen Mo's evaluation.

"The strongest on Earth!" Chen Mo had no choice but to give his assessment again.

"That's more like it!" Jiang Tao was satisfied this time, then a little regretful, "What a pity, if I had a little more talent, I would have practiced throwing knives."

"Mozi, you can practice throwing knives when you have time. This will help you supplement your ranged attacks."

Now that Chen Mo has grasped the essence of martial arts, practicing martial arts is no longer difficult for him, which is why Jiang Tao made that suggestion.

Chen Mo thought about it and agreed, nodding, "Yes, after I've mastered my fist techniques and movement skills, I'll practice throwing knives. Throwing knives are small, allowing me to strike unexpectedly. Later, when killing ferocious beasts, I can ambush them in the eyes, those weak points in their defenses."

"Indeed! If I weren't so lacking in talent, I'd want to practice too! One flick of the throwing knife, and a ferocious beast falls—that's so cool!"

Jiang Tao imagined that scene and his heart was filled with excitement.

If I can't show it myself, my brothers can!

Then I'll have something to brag about!

He firmly believed that Chen Mo would become a powerful martial artist, and that he might need Chen Mo's protection in the future.

He had already imagined the envious and jealous looks people would give him if he said he was Chen Mo's brother.

That feeling is indescribable.

"Alright, you stay here and continue your training. I'm going to apply for a sparring partner position!"

"Okay, go ahead, and I wish you success in advance!"

"good!"

Chen Mo left the training room without taking his belongings and went to find the front desk of the martial arts school.

"Hello, I'm here to apply for a sparring partner position at the martial arts school."

"Okay, are you clear about the requirements for a martial arts sparring partner? Are you applying for a sparring partner position at the apprentice level?" The receptionist didn't look down on Chen Mo and treated him politely.

"I understand. I need to be a 5th-rank martial apprentice or above, and have mastered basic martial arts skills. I'm applying for the position of sparring partner at the martial apprentice level."

Chen Mo knew the requirements for recruiting sparring partners at Wuji Martial Arts Academy: the cultivation level requirement was lower, but basic martial arts skills had to be mastered.

"Alright, may I ask what your current cultivation level is, and which basic martial art you have mastered?"

"Sixth-rank martial apprentice, basic swordsmanship perfected!"

"Basic swordsmanship perfected?"

The receptionist stared at Chen Mo in disbelief. He was so young, yet his basic martial arts skills were already perfect. This was the first time she had ever seen someone so young.

It should be noted that many of the seventh, eighth, and ninth-rank martial arts apprentices who apply for sparring positions do not possess complete basic martial arts skills.

To verify its authenticity, the receptionist asked again:

"Are you sure you've mastered the basic swordsmanship? There will be an assessment later. If there's any deception, the martial arts school will blacklist you, and you won't be able to shop at Wuji Martial Arts School or any of its affiliated stores again."

"I'm certain, and I understand the consequences. I have indeed mastered the basic swordsmanship!"

Chen Mo looked serious.

Seeing Chen Mo's expression, the receptionist didn't say anything, but her attitude became even more polite:

"Okay, I'll register you! As for the coaching salary and working hours, someone will tell you after you pass the assessment!"

"Um!"

After the receptionist entered Chen Mo's detailed information, she printed out the form and handed it to Chen Mo.

"Here you go, Mr. Chen. Take this assessment form and go to the assessment area on the third floor of the martial arts school to undergo the assessment."

"Okay! Thank you!"

Chen Mo took the assessment form, thanked him, and headed to the assessment area on the third floor of the martial arts hall.
