Chapter 37 Level 9 Martial Artist
The classroom erupted in excitement as Chen Zheng focused intently on inscribing runes, his aura growing stronger with each passing moment.
"Holy crap, didn't he just have an epiphany a few days ago? Why is he having another one?"
"Really?"
"I'm reporting someone for cheating..."
"We're both students in the rune department, even in the same class, so why was he able to have an epiphany while I haven't even seen a single hair of enlightenment?"
Jiang Mo stood in front of the workbench, his hand holding the carving knife suspended in mid-air, his mouth agape as he looked at Chen Zheng in disbelief.
This guy actually had another epiphany!
Bai Su, who was near the back of the group today, stopped carving with her knife, tilted her head slightly to look at Chen Zheng's back, and showed surprise in her eyes.
Li Tang came to Jiang Mo's side and whispered, "Stop looking, let's go over and maintain order so that no one interrupts his enlightenment."
Although we are all classmates, life is unpredictable, and it's hard to guarantee that no one will do something out of jealousy.
"Alright, everyone, keep your voices down and don't disturb him. If you have any questions, ask him after he's finished." With Li Tang, the class monitor, maintaining order, the previously noisy classroom quickly quieted down.
These people also knew that if they interrupted Chen Zheng's enlightenment now, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a deadly feud.
But not being able to disturb doesn't mean you can't do other things, such as recording.
【What a disaster! Chen Zheng, that freshman from Class 9 of the Rune Department, has had another epiphany】 The post was accompanied by a few minutes of video footage.
The video couldn't capture the changes in his breathing; all that could be seen was that the boy in the sunlight was very handsome.
"Another epiphany?"
"You could say the last enlightenment was impressive, but another one just a few days later? Are you sure you're not joking?"
"Could any runemasters explain what new secret cultivation method your rune department has developed that allows for sudden enlightenment?"
"Yes, just max out your innate aptitude for runes."
"I'm a third-year student majoring in runes. There's a classmate in my class who has an incredibly high level of talent. He was ranked first in the grade when he entered the university, but he hasn't had a single moment of enlightenment yet."
"Putting aside the epiphany, this freshman named Chen Zheng looks really handsome."
"Get out of here, you fangirls! We're discussing enlightenment. By the way, how many levels do you think his cultivation will advance this time?"
"...Level one, I guess. After all, martial arts training gets harder and harder as you progress."
"I feel it's more than that. After all, it's an epiphany. You'd be embarrassed to go out without leveling up two or three levels."
"If we're not going to be so extreme, we might as well just break through to the second realm directly..."
In the spacious training room of the Martial Arts Department, Chen Ye was practicing his movement techniques. His figure flashed constantly in the field filled with beams of light, as fast as lightning.
Wearing a black vest, Chu Ya, with a sexy figure, sat to the side resting, her personal terminal flashing as she browsed the school network.
Ok?
Chu Ya paused, her face showing astonishment: "How is this possible?" As she spoke, she glanced at Chen Ye, who was cultivating.
"Chen Ye, take a break. Someone posted the latest news about your brother on the school website."
"My brother." Chen Ye stopped abruptly, and dozens of beams of light shone on him, the instruments flashing red.
Ignoring the alarming cultivation equipment, Chen Ye, covered in sweat, approached Chu Ya and swiped the virtual screen with his still-dripping arm.
After reading the pinned post and the video, Chen Ye thought for a moment, then turned around and prepared to continue his cultivation.
Chu Ya asked疑惑地问道, "Don't you have anything to say?"
Chen Ye turned around and asked curiously, "What are you saying? Isn't it a good thing that my brother has suddenly realized something?"
"It's a good thing, but to have two epiphanies in just a few days, your brother's talent in runes is just too exaggerated." Chu Ya couldn't understand.
"It's obvious that my brother is a rune genius." Chen Ye smiled happily.
Because of Chen Zheng's sudden enlightenment, the students in Class 9 basically lost interest in studying. They all wanted to see how long his enlightenment would last and what level he could break through to this time.
Meanwhile, many people on the campus network are also paying attention, with some even speculating on whether Chen Zheng can break through several minor realms this time.
Several other teachers, including Song Hui, the homeroom teacher of Class 9, are also paying attention.
As time passed, Chen Zheng continued to inscribe runes under everyone's watchful eyes, and the submission process was almost no different from the previous few days.
The only change was that his aura grew stronger and stronger.
When it was four o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Zheng suddenly stopped holding the carving knife, and his already astonishingly powerful blood and qi exploded.
Boom! Chen Zheng's skin turned red instantly, as if he had been soaked in boiling water, emitting an astonishingly high temperature wave, and his clothes moved without any wind.
Jiang Mo and the others also noticed that the veins on the back of Chen Zheng's hands and neck were swollen, the muscle outlines in his arms were visible, and the muscle lines were trembling.
"His body was crimson, his veins bulged, and his blood surged—he had broken through to the ninth level of martial arts!"
In an instant, the entire classroom erupted in chaos. No one could believe it; they never expected that Chen Zheng would have such a sudden enlightenment today, breaking through from level six to level nine in one fell swoop!
Soon, students who had realized what was happening posted the news on the campus network, including the unusual phenomena that occurred when Chen Zheng broke through.
"Holy crap, holy crap??"
"Are you kidding me? He really broke through three minor realms in a row!" In the afternoon, the senior who had guessed that Chen Zheng might have broken through to level nine was also dumbfounded.
"Amazing!" Bai Su exclaimed.
Jiang Mo stiffly turned his neck to look at Li Tang: "Tell me, am I dreaming? Has none of this actually happened yet?"
"What do you think?" Li Tang rolled her eyes at him.
Amidst everyone's bewilderment and shock, the boiling blood and qi within Chen Zheng's body calmed down as his skin membrane completed its tempering, and a feeling of complete unity arose spontaneously.
In the past, Chen Zheng relied on his arm muscles and core strength to generate punches.
But now, as he clenched his fist, he could clearly feel his arms and even the muscles, fascia, and skin of his entire body exerting force and tightening in unison.
No wonder cultivators need to reach level nine to be considered to have achieved mastery of the first realm.
Chen Zheng seemed to be deep in thought, then with a thought, he brought up the attribute page.

Seeing that Chen Zheng's breathing had returned to normal, Jiang Mo, who had been standing there for a long time without reacting, asked uncertainly, "Chen Zheng, you've broken through to the ninth level of martial arts?"
Chen Zheng snapped out of his daze and nodded slightly to everyone: "Yes, I've reached level nine."
Looking at Chen Zheng's calm expression, Jiang Mo asked somewhat strangely, "...As the person involved, aren't you excited about breaking through from level six to level nine martial artist?"
"Excited, so excited!"
Chen Zheng coughed lightly and nodded quickly: "Actually, I was also very surprised. This afternoon, when I was inscribing the runes, that mysterious feeling resurfaced, and then I had another epiphany."
"And perhaps because I've already had an epiphany once, my cultivation has improved even more this time."
Li Tang blinked: "So, Chen Zheng, if you have another epiphany next time, you might break through four minor realms at once?"
"...How is that possible? I'm already a little surprised that I've had two epiphanies, let alone another one."
Chen Zheng chuckled, but didn't completely rule it out.
"Everyone, log on to the school network quickly!" A sudden exclamation interrupted everyone.
"Damn, a trial."
"What trial?"
Before anyone else could ask, all the first-year students' personal terminals vibrated slightly, receiving a message from the school's academic affairs office.
The classroom fell silent immediately, and everyone, including Chen Zheng, lowered their heads and opened their personal terminals.
"Secret Realm Trial!"
