Chapter 312: Mike’s Promotion, The Best Is A Hazy Beauty

An Intermediate Professional, achieving this Rank while still in school, can basically be called a Genius. Holding a grand celebration for a Genius is absolutely not a mistake; in fact, it can be considered an honor. When Principal Odyssey heard this suggestion, especially when he heard that Classmate Weil was even willing to take a night off from business so that the students could have fun, he was quite moved.

How much does it cost to book the Youth Activity Center for one night? He was very clear about it, which is why he felt so pleased. Having such a Student Council President was definitely a blessing for the students and good news for the school.

“I’m going to Breakthrough and get promoted too!” Mike waved his fists, his Aura rising steadily, and then, Little Weil slapped him to the ground. “Don’t mess around. Blindly promoting without a solid foundation will only bring greater trouble. Sleip’s promotion was just an accident.”

“No!” Mike looked at Little Weil with unwavering determination and said loudly, “Sleip and I have been good friends since childhood. We trained together, went to school together, and even if I have to repeat a grade, I want to graduate with him. Now that he is already an Intermediate Professional, I must get promoted!”

“Then how is your learning of the Imitation Demon Bull Body Tempering Fist coming along?” The Imitation Demon Bull Body Tempering Fist that Little Weil taught them only had the Body Refining part. Although it was relatively complete and corresponded to the Formal Knight level, the combat part was not taught because he believed it was not necessary for now, and they were not Pugilists.

Mike had long reached the threshold of an Intermediate Knight, but due to an unstable foundation, he had not crossed that hurdle. Now he was getting closer and closer to that door, needing only an opportunity to enter. Sleip had broken through that threshold under the stimulation of the Singer’s Qi outburst, but Mike was different. He wanted to break through independently through a Qi outburst, but this was precisely the method that tested one’s foundation the most. His foundation had not reached the level where he could naturally and smoothly get promoted.

“I’ve already learned it. I Cultivate for at least two hours every day, and I feel my body getting better and better.” When the Imitation Demon Bull Body Tempering Fist was mentioned, Mike’s eyes lit up. He knew that besides the training methods, the Imitation Demon Bull Body Tempering Fist also had fighting techniques, but these techniques were rarely taught externally. The City Defense Force had them, but only official members could learn them.

“Come with me.” Little Weil asked Lilith to help with official duties and took Mike directly to a secluded forest in the Academy. “What I am teaching you now is the fighting technique part of the Imitation Demon Bull Body Tempering Fist. It was hidden because it is savage, brutal, and full of aggression, so I hope you don’t use it unless it’s an emergency, and especially not against companions. Even if you lose during sparring, you cannot use it, understood?”

“Yes!” Mike nodded repeatedly in a hurry. Little Weil stretched his muscles and bones, then squatted slightly, his eyes widening abruptly. His entire demeanor instantly changed. Mike felt that in front of him was no longer the familiar Student Council President, but a wild, fierce monster, a Magic Bull!

“Moo~” A low sound startled him. Mike felt the ground tremble slightly. Was this the power of a single stomp?

So fast! So fierce! This was the true Magic Bull Fist, not the Demonic Ox Body Tempering Fist!

The sound of fists and feet cutting through the air exploded in his ears, and the numerous potholes on the ground were clearly visible. However, Mike felt that he didn’t remember much; in his eyes, there was only a maddened wild ox rampaging, and his hands and feet felt slightly out of control, wanting to go up and vent with it.

With a loud “Roar!”, Mike rushed forward, unleashing a flurry of punches and kicks at Little Weil. However, his wild movements had no effect. Instead, he was hit by Little Weil again and again, falling down and getting back up, not even crying out in pain when hit. His mind was filled with the movements of the wild ox!

“Drink it!” Little Weil’s voice rang in his ears. The authority established during this period made Mike almost instinctively open his mouth, and a warm stream of water rushed down his throat into his body.

“Follow me!” Little Weil’s movements were full of power. Mike paused for a moment and instinctively followed, and the more he imitated, the more he felt it. His whole body was boiling with excitement, as if he himself had Incarnated into a wild ox rampaging without restraint.

Shaking head, wagging tail, stomping the earth!

Horn butt, body lean, wild ox charge!

With a “Boom!” something inside his body seemed to shatter. Mike felt an indescribable sense of relief throughout his body. All the obstacles from his previous Cultivation were now clearly visible, as if they were no longer obstacles.

Breakthrough? He Breakthrough just like that?! Mike couldn’t believe it was that simple.

“Calm your mind and carefully comprehend the benefits brought by the Breakthrough!” Little Weil’s words exploded in his ears. Mike quickly composed himself, dedicating all his energy to this wonderful realization.

Little Weil also took the opportunity to carefully feel the changes in Aura when others Breakthroughed. The Elementary Professional and Intermediate Professional had huge differences; it seemed as if heaven and earth changed for them. Little Weil himself had improved too smoothly, and there were some things he hadn’t experienced in detail. This time, he made up for it.

His originally slightly unstable foundation became even more solid (Mike, Sleip: Are you sure your foundation is unstable? If your foundation is still unstable, then wouldn’t ours be like foam, easily poked through?).

Mike’s Breakthrough didn’t take long, but absorbing the gains took over two hours. When he opened his eyes, the afternoon classes were almost over. “Commander, I’ve Breakthrough, I’ve really Breakthrough!”

“Very good, you are very lucky to have Breakthrough during an Epiphany. It seems that compared to being a Knight, you are more suited to be a Pugilist.”

Little Weil shook his head slightly and said, “Because you Breakthrough during an Epiphany, your gains are greater than Sleip’s. It can be said that for a period in the future, you won’t be chasing him, but he will need to chase you, even if he Breakthrough several days before you, he will now be behind you. Moreover, the benefits of an Epiphany are many. Your Cultivation efficiency will be very high these next few days, until you completely digest this gain.”

“Thank you, Commander!” Mike scratched his head awkwardly, “But I feel like there are still many things I haven’t figured out.”

“You are a Knight. You don’t need to understand too much about pugilism; this is fine.” In fact, Little Weil was very satisfied with this result. If he really let him learn all of the Imitation Demon Bull Body Tempering Fist, it would be a bit troublesome.

What if this simple-minded, brawny fool got too engrossed and wanted to become a Pugilist? Then he wouldn’t be able to explain it to Count Bordeaux. This hazy impression, unable to be fully utilized, yet increasing the effects of Body Refining without affecting Knight Training, that was the optimal effect.

Seeing Mike still looking confused, Little Weil knew that he might remain hazy for a while longer, until his Knight Cultivation gradually improved, he would escape this predicament. However, this wouldn’t form too much of an obstacle. “Hurry back. You don’t look very presentable right now, and it’s getting late. School will be over soon, and after school, we still have to attend Classmate Sleip’s promotion celebration party. At that time, you can perform an exciting duel with him. It’s still unknown who the top student in martial arts at Delaik Senior Academy is.”

Mike looked at Weil cautiously, thinking, “Does that even need to be said? If you and Vice President Lilith don’t speak, who would dare say they are first? No, who would dare say they are in the top two? At most, they’d compete for third place.”

To be in the same era and same place as these two Prodigies, he didn’t know if it was luck or misfortune.

“Your and Sleip’s promotions are very timely. The combat aspect of next year’s Mabust County Exchange Competition will be left to you two.” Little Weil patted his shoulder, making the latter somewhat flattered. “Commander, isn’t that a bit much? Isn’t that looking down on them too much? Can Sleip and I really do it?”

“Certainly not now, but from now on, every three days, Lilith and I will spar with you, using different styles of swordsmanship to increase your combat experience. After half a year, I presume you won’t be afraid of those people anymore. You know, Lilith and I are Intermediate Knights who can defeat two teachers.” Little Weil’s words made Mike shiver.

Are you sure you’re really Intermediate Professionals? Although they had already learned from the Vol Temple Knight that the two teachers were at the bottom of the Advanced Professionals, they were still not something Intermediate Professionals could contend with. But for you two to defeat them in two or three moves, wasn’t that too exaggerated?

“Commander, are you and Vice Commander Lilith actually Senior Knights?” Mike asked cautiously, a voice deep inside constantly telling him it was true, but another voice said it was impossible. How could there be two Senior Knights under fifteen years old?

“Why do you ask that?” Little Weil was slightly taken aback, not expecting him to ask this question.

“Nothing, it’s just that as my strength has grown and I’ve seen more things, I have a deeper understanding of the Rank divisions, so I find it incredible that the two commanders defeated the teachers.” Mike said with a slight embarrassment, “After all, Advanced Professionals are very rare Experts even in Delaik City.”

“When we defeated the two teachers, Lilith and I both used the strength of Intermediate Knights, not exceeding that limit.” Little Weil finished speaking and turned to leave, leaving Mike stunned. What did that sentence mean?

Wait, when they defeated the teachers, they used the strength of Intermediate Knights, not exceeding that limit. Doesn’t that mean they could actually exceed that limit? They are really Senior Knights!

No wonder every time he asked about the strength comparison between the two commanders and the instructors, the instructors’ faces would twist. Clearly, even the Senior Knight-level instructors had suffered losses at the hands of the two “Intermediate Knight”-level commanders. If they could defeat Senior Knights using Intermediate Knight-level strength, then what would happen if they went all out? No wonder they were unwilling to participate in next year’s Mabust Advanced Academy Challenge. It was simply too unfair.

Wait, it seems that in the Mabust Intermediate Academy Challenge half a year ago, they were the two who dominated the entire arena. No wonder they were so calm and showed no excitement afterward; it turned out they had already surpassed their peers by far too much.

With these two Prodigy commanders personally guiding us, what do we have to fear? Mike’s fighting spirit soared at that moment, his face full of confidence. Geniuses of Mabust Advanced Academy, I’m waiting for you to challenge me!
