Professionals of the Starry Skies - Chapter 12

[Chapter 12 Encounter (Please collect)]

Yucai High School.

“Um?”

Xia Long walked into the classroom and saw Fang Xing. His eyes lit up: “What good things did you secretly eat, kid? How come your skin refining progress is so fast?”

A figure flashed in front of Fang Xing, and he patted his shoulder. He then carefully examined Fang Xing’s skin and said, “Hmm…it’s thick and tough. When the skin is refined to perfection, it won’t be ordinary cowhide. It should be copper skin. As for jade skin, it’s unlikely…”

“Teacher, I’ve only heard of warriors who have mastered skin refining. Their skin is as tough as cowhide and they are not afraid of ordinary blunt attacks… Is copper skin and jade skin a higher state?”

Ouyang Qianqian raised her hand and asked.

The top students in the class have made good progress in skin refining. According to Fang Xing’s estimation, they have at least completed half of the process.

This is especially true for natural person students, who have family channels to know more and are more eager for this level of knowledge.

“Well, there are differences between warriors who have mastered skin refining. A warrior with bronze skin is not afraid of any sharp blade… As for jade skin? That is a true martial arts genius. If one of you emerges, he will surely shine in the future Hundred Stars Joint Examination, and the teacher will give him a lot of rewards.”

Xia Long still looked at Fang Xing.

Fang Xing had been preparing to reveal something, and immediately replied: “Thank you for your support, teacher. My Dalongzhuang feels like it has entered a new stage, and the efficiency of refining the skin and flesh has greatly increased…”

“Big Dragon Pillar? It turns out that your Big Dragon Pillar has broken through!”

Xia Long nodded: “You are so poor that you don’t have money to buy any martial arts secret medicine, so I guess this is the most likely possibility…”

Martial arts is only the most popular evolutionary route, and even the increase in lifespan will only become more obvious after reaching the fourth realm.

A true natural person tycoon can even live for 200 years or even longer through gene surgery when he was an ordinary person!
The same is true for the early stages of martial arts. Although it is said to have the highest cost-effectiveness, the more rare resources you invest, the faster you will progress!

“Teacher, if I break through the Dalong Pillar, can I develop bronze skin?” Liu Wei’s eyes lit up. He also had the ambition to take the college entrance examination.

“Well, in the second stage of the Great Dragon Posture, the probability of becoming bronze-skinned is over 81.4%. This is the statistical result of the Omniscient Brain on the data of all high school students.”

Xia Long nodded: “If you can practice the Great Dragon Posture to the third stage, then it is not you who adapts to the Posture, but the Posture that adapts to you… the progress will be faster, and there is a 67.99% chance of becoming a Jade Skin Warrior. The skin of a Jade Skin Warrior is as crystal clear as jade, and can be retracted and released freely. It has many magical uses… More importantly, it can lay a solid foundation. Work hard, classmates. Most of the Federation Martial Saints and Martial Gods in history have reached the Jade Skin realm!”

“Martial Saint, Martial God?”

Many students felt a sense of longing and sadness in their hearts.

Because they also know that this is almost impossible unless a miracle happens.

Or, if the realm is not enough, resources can make up for it!
But this is obviously not suitable for ordinary people.

“Then… is there a fourth stage for the Great Dragon Pillar?”

Fang Xing asked.

He remembered that Xia Long had mentioned this matter.

“Yes, there is a fourth stage to the Great Dragon Posture. Only one in a million people can achieve it… That is to achieve the ‘Dragon State of Mind’!”

Xia Long replied: “Achieving artistic conception does not mean that you are a fourth-level warrior. After all, you do not have the foundation of unpolished jade… It can only be said that you are much stronger than warriors of the same level, and once the unpolished jade realm is perfected, you can immediately be promoted to the courage realm!”

“Of course, warriors who have mastered the state of mind will not be driven insane by the overflowing spiritual pollution when facing the evil god’s followers. This is a great advantage, especially for you!”

“Even if the military camps will provide sufficient protection and medicines on the battlefield in the future, there will always be omissions in war… Many of the space warriors who retire every year end up in a mental hospital!”

“If you can cultivate the state of mind before the fourth level, you can basically be admitted to university, but after university you will still have to go to the battlefield. This is the fate of every citizen of the Blue Star Federation!”

Fang Xing had already known that being admitted to university would only delay his military service.

He considered making a large sum of star money by reselling materials from the two worlds and then paying off the loan.

But obviously, if the origin of this money cannot be explained clearly, it will bring greater danger.

“In short, if all else fails, go to university first, and then look for opportunities in university…”

After school.

“I feel like Xia Long’s guidance is helping me less and less…”

Fang Xing kicked the stones, feeling a little melancholy.

“Axing, it’s time to clock in!”

Liu Wei ran over, with a hint of temptation in his words.

“No, I want to go back to play games.”

Fang Xing waved his hands. He has been eager to explore the other world after school recently.

Even if you practice martial arts in another world, the efficiency is much higher than here, so naturally there is not much free time.

“Dog, you have changed…”

Liu Wei looked at Fang Xing’s back, hesitant to speak.

…

Another world.

“It seems that the speed of time on both sides is the same. We can conduct another experiment.”

After comparing the time on both sides, Fang Xing fed a berry to the mouse and saw that it died of poison after dozens of seconds.

“The last person who knew about the incident was also silenced.”

He nodded and took a bite of the roasted bird wing: “It turns out that the drug test paper I bought is not invalid…”

After double verification by the white mice and outside the infirmary, Fang Xing finally began his food journey into another world.

“Mmm, it smells so good!”

The bird meat from the other world is very tender, but the texture is quite tight, requiring a strong bite force from the teeth to tear it apart. He has a big appetite, but he felt full after eating a little here.

Even after having a full stomach, my limbs seemed to be wrapped by a warm current, which was quite comfortable.

In terms of feeling, it is somewhat similar to taking ‘D3 level nutrient solution’.

“It’s probably one-third or even less effective… but… it’s everywhere here.”

“Opening up another world is really profitable.”

After eating and drinking, Fang Xing immediately began to practice the Dalong Posture.

It was impossible to concentrate on cultivation in a different world. Although there were some traps and alarm devices set up around him, Fang Xing was still a little uneasy. After an hour, he stopped on his own initiative and glanced at the attribute panel:
[Name: Fang Xing]

Age: 16

[Occupation: Warrior]

[First Level: Skin and Flesh (Skin Refining: 87/100)]

[12 Military Boxing Styles: 3/100 (Proficient)]

[Big Dragon Posture: 17/100 (Proficient)]

【Gate of the Heavens (Charging)】

…

“With this progress, I will be able to complete the skin refining before the end of the first year of high school this summer!”

Fang Xing clenched his fists, feeling that he was not far from having his entire body’s skin refined and functioning smoothly.

“Maybe even try to flush the ‘jade skin’?”

“A tall building rises from the ground, and the same is true for martial arts. The more solid the foundation, the greater the potential in the future!”

Fang Xing smiled slightly and looked at the surveillance screen again.

The next second, his smile froze on his face.

“Did the drone capture a human figure?”

“Do humans survive in this alien world?”

He called up several surveillance videos, zooming in and adjusting the angles…

Finally, four “martial artists” dressed in ancient style were seen.

Most of them wore robes, had their hair tied in a bun, held knives and swords in their hands, and were dressed in a very ancient style.

Even their clothes were mostly cloth and linen, and they even carried bamboo baskets.

“Looking at productivity, it should be similar to the ancient feudal period…”

Fang Xing observed it carefully and concluded: “But… it’s very strong!”

Judging from the movements and speed of these four people, they were able to walk through this rugged jungle as if it were flat ground. They were at least at the level of a second-level muscle warrior!
Even the middle-aged man who led the group had well-developed muscles, which made his clothes look a size smaller. He looked quite majestic. In Fang Xing’s opinion, his martial arts were so strong that he should be at the level of a third-level unpolished jade warrior!

As a martial arts student of the new era, I can’t say anything else, but I have watched countless martial arts videos, so I do have this kind of judgment.

“Of course I can’t beat a warrior in the Unpolished Jade Realm…”

“But with the primary nano protective suit and electric batons, we may be able to fight back. At least it won’t be a problem to save our lives…”

“The most important thing is… I have to hide my origins. The language barrier is definitely a problem. After all, reality is not a game. We can’t speak the same language after traveling through time… In addition, I have to prepare ancient costumes and wigs… Maybe I should grow my hair long. Anyway, the school doesn’t have any regulations.”

Fang Xing had no intention of going forward to meet this team of warriors, he just planned to observe secretly.

It would be best to install more surveillance cameras, record the other party’s language, and try to decipher it!
With the technology of the interstellar era, as long as there is enough basic data, deciphering a language is a matter of minutes. Otherwise, it would be impossible to communicate with the natives on countless planets!

“Judging from the route they took, this team shouldn’t be able to find me. It seems like they’re heading for that wild boar monster?”

Fang Xing looked at the surveillance video again and couldn’t help but touch his chin.

…

“Old Three, what are you doing?”

In the dense forest, the burly man watched the third brother looking up at the sky from time to time and couldn’t help but curse him.

“Boss… I felt like there was something flying in the sky. It wasn’t a bird, could it be some kind of monster?”

The third brother was dressed in blue, with bright eyes and a bit of a shifty temperament. He answered with some worry.

“It’s hard to say, everyone be careful…”

The burly man touched the animal skin bag on his chest and gained more confidence: “Speed up the progress, we will go after we pick the ‘Zhulong Grass’!”

The four of them immediately sped up their progress and arrived at the edge of the wild boar monster’s territory.

They had obviously planned it and waited in the bushes for a long time as the sky gradually grew darker.

One after another, colorful dots of light were flying around the bushes.

There are also some scarlet herbs with thick leaves growing sporadically on the edge of the bushes.

“Now!”

The burly man sprinkled odor-isolating powder on his body, and sneaked forward with a few brothers to pick the “Zhulong Grass”.

They moved very quickly and seemed to have received special training.

But unfortunately, Fang Xing saw from the surveillance that the wild boar monster that was as big as a hill had come behind the four people at some point.

Huff huff!

Accompanied by the unique nasal sound of a wild boar, an extremely huge black shadow suddenly rushed out from the darkness, and an intense blood-red light appeared on its six tusks.

Puff!
The two strong men were unable to dodge and were pierced by the pig’s teeth before they could even pull out their swords. Blood gushed out!
