Baiyu was unsure how to condense Martial Intent.
What were his beliefs and determination at that time?
It was to spare no cost, even if it meant exhausting all his trump cards, he must kill both Chang Long and Charman!
Could this be the reason why that punch was able to produce Fist Intent at the time?
Baiyu was just deciding to spend some time to study it carefully, but Yang Jinhua already had plans set.
Seeing Baiyu deep in thought, he chuckled and said, "Since Qiong Jiu has entrusted you to me, this old man must take responsibility. With a week left before the high school entrance exam, I’m going to have you condense Martial Intent as quickly as possible during this week. That way, even in the martial arts exam, you will be unbeatable."
"Is there a shortcut to this?"
"The road to knowledge is through diligence, and so is cultivating Martial Intent. This week you might have to endure a bit more; the intensity of the training I arranged is hard for most people to take."
Yang Jinhua smiled kindly.
However, Baiyu caught a whiff of something unusual from Jiang Xi’s somewhat sympathetic gaze.
"This place is the Celestial Profound Cultivation Room left by the predecessors of Golden Rainbow Academy, renowned throughout the Martial Arts Realm. The cultivation room is only useful to martial artists who haven’t yet condensed Martial Intent, using relentless strikes and battles to stimulate the condensation of Martial Intent.
This maze-like room is the result of continuous renovations by the sages of Golden Rainbow Academy through generations.
The longer you endure inside, the greater the benefits for the martial artist."
Yang Jinhua pointed to the entrance up ahead which resembled an underground parking lot: "I still have to remind you to persevere as much as possible. There’s a leaderboard beside it, showing persistence times; you can refer to it. If you can’t hold on any longer, just shout to exit from within."
Baiyu glanced at the entrance, then at the nearby LED scrolling leaderboard.
The first place persisted for 90 hours, nearly four days and nights, and looking at the entry, it’s actually a student from Kyoto Magic University.
Second place persisted for 70 hours, roughly three days.
This person was the past high school entrance exam top scorer of Linjiang City, a legendary figure, who now pursued advanced studies at Fengdu Martial Arts School. It’s said that back in Linjiang, he left behind many legends as well.
"Are there people from other regions here too?"
Baiyu curiously asked.
Yang Jinhua said, "The Celestial Profound Cultivation Room of Golden Rainbow Academy is famous nationwide, greatly aiding in condensing Martial Intent and stabilizing breakthroughs beyond one’s limits. Martial arts students from all over the country come here.
However, entering the cultivation room costs a million each time.
You’re one of the elites among Linjiang students this year and personally recommended by Qiong Jiu, so I’m making an exception and giving you a free pass."
Baiyu took a deep breath.
Having Martial Intent indeed makes a significant difference from not having it.
It seems the longer one stays inside, the more they gain.
He immediately went to his room and brought two cans of cola.
Seeing such a puzzling human behavior, both Jiang Xi and Yang Jinhua were left with question marks on their faces, wondering how much this person really loved cola.
"Master, how long do you think he can last?"
Jiang Xi curiously watched Baiyu gradually disappear into the entrance.
She herself lasted only 65 hours inside; the longer it went on, the harder it became, with every minute being a massive mental challenge.
Yang Jinhua said, "If he can last sixty hours, it will be enough to prove his potential, and Qiong Jiu’s efforts won’t have been in vain. Let’s keep an eye on him in the control room, just in case something goes wrong so we can intervene promptly. The student from Kyoto Magic University has already persisted for 30 hours inside and has entered the second stage, showing good momentum."
The interior of the Celestial Profound Cultivation Room was vastly different from its entrance.
Inside, there was no dim lighting; Baiyu proceeded along an empty and lengthy corridor, initially narrow, but after walking several dozen meters, it suddenly opened up.
At the end of the passage was an iron door.
Inside was a Martial Arts Dojo filled with an ancient style and charm.
The dojo’s area was vast.
As Baiyu stepped in, the iron door behind him automatically closed.
The entire martial arts hall was empty.
Opposite Baiyu was another iron door, presumably the exit upon passing through.
Above the ceiling in front of him, three grand, calligraphed characters written with a brush displayed:
"Is the Celestial Profound Cultivation Room categorized according to stages?"
Just as this thought crossed Baiyu’s mind, his Spiritual Sense sounded the alarm.
Several Mechanical Warriors pounced down, raising long rods in their hands as they violently attacked.
Baiyu swiftly dodged and retreated.
His blood qi surged as the Great Ape King Fist thunderously launched forward.
Two Mechanical Warriors were instantly sent flying eight meters away, emitting a piercing alarm sound.
These Mechanical Warriors weren’t strong, their energy levels were around 300 to 400, posing no real threat to Baiyu right now.
Moreover, the Myriad Beasts Battle Technique was inherently a high-level spirit technique, with immense destructive power.
Baiyu realized things weren’t that simple.
Firstly, these Mechanical Warriors, as mechanical constructs, were fearless, though their actions had only a few fixed patterns, they didn’t even have many combos in their move set, but there was no stopping their vast numbers!
Additionally, more Mechanical Warriors were constantly joining the battle from the surrounding passages. Once one batch was killed, another would follow, like a continuous swarm of locusts.
Drain physical strength!
The purpose and significance of this level were to deplete the passers’ physical strength and will.
How long could an ordinary person endure?
Seeing this scenario, it might be only a few hours before exhaustion.
Baiyu’s blood qi recovery rate far exceeded that of ordinary people.
Blood qi consumption was not something he needed to worry about.
At this moment, he struck with expansive movements, without fear of running out of blood qi.
But physical strength and bodily fatigue could only be restored through the Ice Skin Jade Bone Skill’s ability "Fat Otaku Cultivation."
"Fat Otaku Cultivation, as long as any brand of cola is consumed, will give you energy to remain active for 36 hours, after which you must fall into one hour of deep sleep.
Now the question is, can 36 hours get you through the first stage?"
Baiyu pondered for a moment.
This stage should account for the average person’s endurance, not intended to exhaust people to death.
It’s unlikely to expect someone to fight for more than 36 hours without sleep or rest.
This isn’t training but pushing someone to death.
There are no bad lands, only exhausted oxen.
While contemplating a strategy in his mind, Baiyu resisted the attacks of these Mechanical Warriors and observed the environment of the entire martial arts hall, checking for any overlooked information.
The inevitable soreness in his muscles began to emerge.
But he almost understood the benefits of this training method.
Relentless, long-term combat allows one to rapidly enhance their understanding of Spirit Techniques and gain more refined control over their body.
Each time he exerted force.
He could feel the stretching of muscles and the resonance of blood qi.
Baiyu breathed deeply, still surrounded by ten or so Mechanical Warriors. During this time, he had taken out over a hundred units, yet reinforcements continued to come.
The ring-pull of the can was opened.
Without further hesitation, Baiyu drank the cola, instantly dispelling the fatigue from his body and mind.
He took steps once more and resumed the battle with the Mechanical Warriors.
