Bai Ruoxi comforted everyone again, saying that there were still many powerhouses in Huaguo, and many Grandmasters as well. For now, there would be no problem holding back the Catacombs.
Moreover, the ban on Rank-3 martial artists had not yet been lifted. Everyone didn't need to worry for now. It was just a premonition, a heads-up for everyone.
After class, Zhang Haoran found Bai Ruoxi and inquired. As expected, Lü Fengrou had already entered the Catacombs.
He directly asked Bai Ruoxi for leave. He asked, and she said that tomorrow would only be about Martial Arts common knowledge, to broaden everyone's horizons.
He didn't say what he was going to do with the leave. But Bai Ruoxi still granted him the vacation.
Bai Ruoxi had also heard about the Martial Arts Association's matters. It could be said that with Zhang Haoran in this Exchange Competition, there was basically no need to worry.
Bai Ruoxi only asked if he needed any help.
Zhang Haoran only said he wanted to Cultivate, and Bai Ruoxi didn't ask further; Geniuses were always different.
Returning to the dormitory in the evening, he hung up the 'Closed-door Cultivation' sign again.
This made Fang Ping, who passed by, unable to help but grumble. He even made a bet with Fu Changding, betting on how long Zhang Haoran's closed-door Cultivation would take this time?
Fu Changding bet it wouldn't exceed tomorrow noon.
Fang Ping, however, thought it would definitely exceed noon, but certainly wouldn't reach the day after tomorrow.
As soon as he returned to the dormitory, he entered the Martial Arts Arena. First, he practiced various Martial Arts Schools to warm up.
Then he began to Temper his right hand bones. It was still a holistic Tempering.
There are 27 bones in the right hand, but holistic Tempering makes it much simpler. It can be treated as a single bone to Temper. Of course, it is still more strenuous than Tempering a single bone.
The reason why holistic Tempering yields ten more Qi and blood than individual Tempering is because holistic Tempering tempers not only the bones but also the muscles and membranes connected to the bones.
Moreover, this time, Zhang Haoran used the Extreme Tempering Method. The speed was nearly doubled compared to last time.
In just under eight hours, his right hand bones were Tempered.
Although his right hand bones were Tempered, he did not go out. Instead, he went to the Trading Square to continue reading.
He needed to nourish his Body well.
After nourishing for ten hours, he would begin to Temper his left hand bones.
Zhang Haoran also realized that he might have a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder.
For example, now that his right hand bones were Tempered, but his left hand bones were not, he didn't even want to leave the room. He just felt very awkward.
Only when both sides were balanced would that awkward feeling disappear. This should be a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder.
While nourishing his Body, Zhang Haoran also took out the Body Forging Pill he had specifically kept from the last spoils distribution.
He had the System optimize it, ate one, and tested the effect. Hmm, it was decent.
It had a certain Tempering effect on his Body, and his Physique was enhanced a bit.
Especially after taking the Body Forging Pill, when he performed Golden Bell Cover Iron Shirt, it not only accelerated the absorption of the medicinal power but also had a better effect on enhancing his Physique.
With such an opportunity to become stronger just by taking a Medicinal Pill, he naturally couldn't let it go. It was better than fighting until he was covered in blood, right?
As for the Body Forging Pill, he was not in a hurry for now. He would wait until the Body Forging Pill had no effect before taking the Body Forging Pill.
This way, he could further improve his Physique.
He nourished his Body, Cultivated Golden Bell Cover and Iron Shirt, and ate the Body Forging Pill all at the same time.
Ten hours passed quickly. Zhang Haoran teleported to the Martial Arts Arena again. He dared not Temper his left hand bones holistically in the Trading Square. If he was interrupted by any accident, he would be injured.
Especially with this kind of holistic Tempering, one Tempering session would take seven or eight hours.
After Tempering his left hand bones in the Martial Arts Arena, Zhang Haoran felt comfortable. That awkward feeling disappeared. He checked the time; it was just ten o'clock.
He teleported back to the Trading Square, stayed for two hours, and then returned to his room to sleep.
The next day, he attended class as usual. Many classmates knew about Zhang Haoran's closed-door Cultivation, as there was a 'Closed-door Cultivation' sign hanging outside his door.
However, regarding his emergence after only one day of closed-door Cultivation, his classmates had nothing to say, as it was not the first time.
After getting up this morning, Zhang Haoran went to the Martial Arts Arena. He found that after Tempering his hand bones, the power of Nine Yin White Bone Claw had indeed increased significantly.
Now, when using Nine Yin White Bone Claw, he could perfectly clash head-on with alloy weapons using both hands.
Today's lecture was still about some matters in the Martial Arts world, intended to broaden everyone's horizons.
In a blink of an eye, it was Saturday. The special training class schedule had changed today; it was no longer in the evening but moved to the morning.
The class location also changed. It was no longer the usual classroom. This time, they went to a Martial Arts training hall in Building Six.
The instructor teaching today was Luo Yichuan. Instructor Luo Yichuan's spear Move was exquisite. It would not be an exaggeration to say he was the top spear Move master below the Grandmaster rank.
As soon as he entered the classroom, Instructor Luo Yichuan said directly, "You all know about the Catacombs, right?"
Everyone nodded silently.
"The situation in the Catacombs is not looking good right now. Over 50 instructors from Magic Martial Arts University have entered the Catacombs.
The deans and principals are all focused on the Catacombs. The special training class is temporarily out of their hands. But being out of their hands doesn't mean it's not important. Magic Martial Arts University cannot afford to lose.
If we lose, Magic Martial Arts University will receive 30% less resources next year. This is a price Magic Martial Arts University cannot bear."
Luo Yichuan taught everyone the use of weapons today. Although Luo Yichuan was a master of spear Move, it didn't mean he couldn't use other weapons.
"The staff is the most common weapon.
What if you lose your weapon in the Catacombs? You can use any branch or beast bone as a staff or club.
Today, I will teach you the use of basic staff Moves."
Then, Instructor Luo asked everyone to choose a suitable wooden staff. Zhang Haoran had never practiced long weapons before and wasn't used to overly long weapons, so he chose a slightly shorter wooden staff.
Just as everyone had chosen their wooden staffs and were waiting for Instructor Luo to teach, Fang Ping suddenly had a strange expression, perhaps feeling that the scene resembled a Beggars' Sect meeting. Instructor Luo was the Beggars' Sect Leader, and it would be even more alike if everyone held a bowl.
Fang Ping's expression was immediately noticed by Luo Yichuan, who directly called him out. He was to cooperate with Instructor Luo in teaching everyone the staff Move.
In fact, he was just a human sandbag, because he was the class monitor. During the teaching of the staff Move, he was beaten until his hands and feet were bruised, and even his face had a bruise.
"Alright, these are the basic staff Moves. Did you all see them clearly?"
"No."
Zhang Haoran's mouth twitched when he heard that. It seemed Fang Ping had been courting death a lot recently!
So, he still didn't understand the reason that if you don't court death, you won't die.
Next was sparring among the classmates. Zhang Haoran's opponent was Zhao Lei.
Zhao Lei had always been unconvinced by Fang Ping and Zhang Haoran, and now he had caught an opportunity.
Zhao Lei used a long staff, and looking at Zhang Haoran's short staff, he felt he could now abuse Zhang Haoran.
Zhao Lei roared and brought his staff down. Zhang Haoran did not dodge or parry. Instead, he extended his short staff, pressing it against Zhao Lei's long staff and, following the direction of its force, swept it away.
Zhao Lei's long staff landed in empty space. Zhang Haoran stepped forward. The short staff in his hand pressed against Zhao Lei's long staff, sweeping along it to strike Zhao Lei's hands holding the staff.
