"Emperor Bai?"
Lu Sheng was somewhat surprised. He knew that Emperor Bai was one of the three great galactic life forms in the current Human Federation. He didn't expect to be able to see the combat video of Emperor Bai when he was young.
"In those days, Lord Bai could defeat thousands while in the Qi Blood Realm because he raised his Qi Blood to 100 cards!"
"Besides this, did any of you notice anything else?"
Gao Feng looked at the crowd below. While asking the others, his gaze was actually fixed on Lu Sheng. The rest of the Elite Class students also understood that Gao Feng was using this review session to explain things to the newcomer, Lu Sheng, so they kept quiet.
"Especially you, Lu Sheng, take a closer look!"
Gao Feng reprimanded.
Then, the combat video of the young Emperor Bai was played again. With Gao Feng's reminder, Lu Sheng also began to observe carefully.
Soon, Lu Sheng noticed a slight clue.
He was astonished to discover that every time Emperor Bai made a move, an extremely faint blood-colored shadow would appear behind him.
"Teacher Gao, what is that blood-colored shadow?"
"Teacher Gao, every time Lord Bai makes a move, there is a blood-colored shadow that appears behind him. What is this blood-colored shadow?"
Lu Sheng squinted his eyes and observed carefully. After a moment of contemplation, he still raised his question.
Hearing Lu Sheng's question, Gao Feng nodded and then explained, "This brings us back to the 100-card Qi Blood. We call this the Qi Blood Illusion. Only a genius martial artist in the Qi Blood Realm who has reached 100 cards of Qi Blood can condense their own Qi Blood Illusion."
"The Qi Blood Illusion is the manifestation of the martial artist's Qi Blood. Once a martial artist possesses a Qi Blood Illusion, it will amplify their combat power in battles."
"This is also the fundamental reason why Lord Bai could defeat hundreds on his own and even be immune to the old-era thermal weapon shoots!"
"Besides this..."
Gao Feng paused, a look of longing appearing on his face. "The Qi Blood Illusion is also one of the prerequisites for a martial artist to condense the True Martial Body in later stages! And Emperor Bai was the pioneer in this!"
"It's widely known that in the lower realms, martial artists are generally no match for mechanical transformers and immortal cultivators. However, once they master the Qi Blood Illusion, they can reverse this situation!"
Following these words, the Elite Class students' faces suddenly became eager, even Lu Sheng couldn't help but be moved.
"Qi Blood Illusion?"
"My current Qi Blood is only at 13 cards, still quite far from 60 cards. But once I reach 60 cards, I could try, after all... I have cheats!"
Lu Sheng's expression remained the same, but he had thoughts in his mind.
Gao Feng continued, "Although the Qi Blood Illusion greatly enhances a martial artist, you should not blindly strive for 100 cards of Qi Blood. As I said before, every martial artist's talents are different. Those who can reach 100 cards are one in a million."
"Either they have extraordinary talent, or they spend decades, even more time, and still may not succeed!"
"A martial artist's Qi Blood is not always at its peak. As they age, their Qi Blood will gradually decline. Blindly striving for 100 cards is not advisable."
As he said this, Gao Feng's gaze moved across the crowd and finally fell on a bald, brawny man. Gao Feng frowned slightly, pointing at him with a deep voice, "Yang Meng, you shouldn't let your Qi Blood stay at eighty. Your talent's limit is eighty cards. Staying here means you won't be a match for the other two factions. It's time to break through to the second stage, Bone Forging."
"Hmm?"
Lu Sheng followed Gao Feng's finger and saw Yang Meng, feeling a little surprised.
"Eighty cards of Qi Blood? So strong?"
Lu Sheng felt some shock in his heart. He didn't expect that there was someone in the Elite Class whose Qi Blood had reached eighty cards.
"But... Even Yang Meng with eighty cards of Qi Blood isn't a match for the other two factions? Are mechanical transformers and immortal cultivators really that strong?"
Lu Sheng was somewhat astonished, so he inquired of a nearby Elite Class student.
The person glanced at Lu Sheng and sighed, "It's normal that you don't know yet. Our Elite Class is divided into factions."
"One faction is the martial artist group led by Yang Meng as Teacher Gao just mentioned. Another is the Mechanical Transformer faction, and the last is the Immortal Cultivator faction."
"The leader of the Immortal Cultivator faction is the one known as the aloof flower, Mu Bing!"
"Mu Bing?"
Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. Wasn't she his classmate? The only Transcendent in their third-year, class eight, who followed the Immortal Dao system.
He didn't expect that she had become the leader of the Immortal Cultivator faction in the Elite Class.
"As for the Mechanical Transformers, they're just a bunch of rich idiots, looking down on everyone."
"Moreover, that Mu Bing has already been taken out for training by another Immortal Cultivator faction teacher, so she doesn't attend classes with us here."
The student showed some indignation when talking about the other two factions.
"Although we martial artists can't beat them, we are relatively united, and we have the most members in the Elite Class."
Lu Sheng thoughtfully nodded.
"It's normal that we martial artists can't match them. After all, we are poor and can only follow the martial path exclusively, unlike mechanical transformers and immortal cultivators who can also manage some martial arts while training their own systems. Even though they use the fast-track methods, their combat power is still stronger than ours in the martial artist system. It's very annoying."
That student spoke with some helplessness.
Lu Sheng remained silent. Though unwilling to admit it, what this person said was indeed a fact.
Among the three systems, the label for martial artists is poor and weak.
Of course, this weakness is only relevant at the same realm.
While Lu Sheng was in silence, Yang Meng, the one being pointed at by Gao Feng, scratched his bald head and gave Gao Feng a silly smile, "Teacher Gao, I understand, but... I still want to challenge Mu Bing. Otherwise, I feel unwilling!"
Gao Feng looked at Yang Meng, with some helplessness on his face. However, he knew that Yang Meng was stubborn. If he did not agree, Yang Meng might not choose to break through obstinately.
Feeling helpless, Gao Feng still agreed.
After all, in those days, he was just like Yang Meng, unwilling to give in. However, realities had given him a heavy blow.
