Chapter 460: Chapter 183: What is Transcendent? Changing the Environment, Breaking the Rules!_4

Huo Honghao and the others were utterly baffled. They even suspected that Zhang Beixing’s brain might have been injured while he was challenging the ’Sky-Thief’ version of Oizaki’s Eight Challenges. They asked Zhang Beixing if he should go to the hospital to have it checked out.

Zhang Beixing politely declined, not revealing what he was researching, as it was too preposterous and no one would believe him anyway. After that, he started practicing on his own.

In the blink of an eye, several days passed.

「January 4, 2019.」

A few days after New Year’s Day, Huo Honghao suddenly approached Zhang Beixing to ask if he was interested in going out for a "vacation."

Hearing Huo Honghao’s invitation, Zhang Beixing was somewhat surprised. A vacation? When did the military start offering such benefits? So he asked a few more questions.

That’s when he learned that Huo Honghao’s idea of "vacation" was actually to go to Nanyun Province for field training exercises. This was a training activity common in field troops. It combined with emergency assemblies to take the entire troop, in individual equipment, out into the wilderness for maneuver training. Sometimes it also incorporated multiple training disciplines and subjects during the exercise.

"Why do we need to go to Nanyun Province? Can’t we do it in Shishi?" Zhang Beixing asked, puzzled.

Huo Honghao explained, "It’s feasible in Shishi, but the problem is that there are only so many suitable places for field training exercises there, and we’ve already been to most of them. Going again wouldn’t pose any real challenge. Under your guidance, our soldiers have made rapid progress. We need to intensify their training to test their true strength. Plus, the combat environment in Nanyun Province is more complex, so after careful consideration, we chose there."

Considering they were his own people, and since Zhang Beixing, as their Martial Arts instructor, would be going too, Huo Honghao didn’t conceal anything.

Zhang Beixing understood. "Ah, I see. Let’s go then."

Anyway, no matter where he went, he would be focused on studying his Lightness Technique. Practicing in Shishi versus Nanyun Province made no real difference to him. Besides, going to a new place might even help him find some inspiration. After all, stepping into the Transcendent realm and breaking through past barriers was different; mere secluded cultivation was useless.

"Great, that settles it then. Start packing now; we’re leaving this afternoon."

"OK!"

Zhang Beixing replied, went back to his dormitory, changed out of his soaked clothes, packed his bags, and then followed Huo Honghao to Nanyun Province.

Zhang Beixing and his group arrived. Following Huo Honghao, they went to the nearby military district command and spoke with the local military personnel. As they had notified them in advance, the other party didn’t create any difficulties. They readily agreed and even allocated an area to Huo Honghao and his group for their field training exercises.

However, all these matters were of no concern to Zhang Beixing. He was just a Martial Arts instructor, not a soldier from the Shishi Military Region. His presence was merely incidental. When the soldiers were undergoing their field training exercises, he would just need to watch from the side and point out their flaws. Other than that, he had nothing much to do.

Thus, Zhang Beixing was rather idle. Being idle, his attention fell upon his Attribute Panel.

[Master: Zhang Beixing]

[Status: Vital Energy Unceasing, Natural Martial Arts (Pseudo), Blood Like Mercury Slurry and Marrow Like Frost]

[Power: 149.9]

[Constitution: 149.9]

[Spirit: 149.9]

[Ability Points: 93]

[Transcendent Skills: Heaven and Earth Natural Technique Level One +49]

After these days of training, Zhang Beixing was now only 0.3 attribute points away from all his attributes breaking through 150. Yet, it was this 0.3 that had stumped him for several days!

It wasn’t that Zhang Beixing didn’t want to increase it, but that he couldn’t! Once the three attributes reached 149.9, the plus sign buttons next to them had dimmed. No matter how much Zhang Beixing clicked, they remained unresponsive.

Initially, Zhang Beixing thought it might have been related to his Transcendent skills. Therefore, during these days, he frantically added points, elevating his Heaven and Earth Natural Technique to +49. But by then, the same problem occurred. The plus button behind Heaven and Earth Natural Technique also dimmed!

Looking at his Personal Panel, which now allowed no operations, Zhang Beixing couldn’t help but feel a headache. What the hell is going on? Why won’t it let me add any more points? What’s the deal? Just when I’m about to become Transcendent, you lock down all my attributes?!

Zhang Beixing furrowed his brows. He was thoroughly baffled by the situation on his Personal Panel! If I can’t add points, isn’t this System basically useless? The worst part was that this blasted System wasn’t even intelligent. With this issue arising, Zhang Beixing had nowhere to inquire. He could only try to figure it out himself.

But as for figuring it out...

"How the hell am I supposed to figure this out?" Zhang Beixing muttered, utterly confused. "I’ve done everything by the book; it makes no sense for things to turn out like this!"

He pondered for a moment but couldn’t make heads or tails of it, so he eventually gave up.

Fine, if it won’t let me add points, I just won’t. I’ve been so busy allocating points lately that I haven’t saved many Ability Points anyway. I might as well use this chance to accumulate a good amount. While I’m saving up, I can slowly try to figure out what’s going on!

With this in mind, Zhang Beixing stopped delving into this issue and just went to one side, starting to practice his Transcendent Lightness Technique.

Then...

PLOP!

As expected, Zhang Beixing stepped onto the water and, without even a moment’s pause, sank straight down.

Hearing the commotion from his side, the Army Colonel from the Nanyun Province Military Region, who was at the front of the group chatting with Huo Honghao, turned his head to look. He saw Zhang Beixing, sopping wet, climbing out of the lake. Then Zhang Beixing turned back towards the lake and walked towards it again.

PLOP!

Another dull thud.

The Army Colonel from the Nanyun Province Military Region couldn’t help the corner of his mouth twitching. What on earth is this person doing? Why jump into the lake for no reason? Even if Nanyun Province has spring-like weather year-round, it’s still winter now. It’s cold.

"Colonel Huo, the Martial Arts instructor you brought..."

"Oh, don’t mind him. He’s just working on his Lightness Technique!" Huo Honghao said nonchalantly.

"Lightness... Technique?" Hearing Huo Honghao’s words, the Nanyun Colonel’s expression became extremely peculiar. He glanced at Zhang Beixing, who was once again climbing out of the lake, a corner of his mouth twitching. He said incredulously, "Regardless of whether he can master Lightness Technique this way, does anyone actually still believe in such things these days?"

He paused, then asked, "I hear the elite soldiers in your military region have been training in Martial Arts, is that right? For your Field Army, it might be useful, but don’t get too obsessed with personal combat power. It’s an era of high-tech informatization now. Times have changed. No matter how good your Martial Arts or physical skills are, they can’t stop bullets! So, Huo, you really need to get your priorities straight and not make any mistakes!"

Upon hearing this, Huo Honghao raised an eyebrow. For some reason, he felt as if he’d heard this sentiment somewhere before. But after a moment’s thought, he dismissed it. He just looked at the Army Colonel from Nanyun Province and said, "You don’t need to worry about that; I have it under control. Besides, the matter at hand is clearly more important, isn’t it? Let’s discuss our field training exercise first!"

"Ah, alright. The field training exercise is actually quite simple. You..."

The Army Colonel from Nanyun Province and Huo Honghao continued their discussion, talking about the specific details of the upcoming field training exercise. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Meanwhile, at the lakeside, Zhang Beixing climbed out of the water yet again. He stubbornly stepped back onto the water’s surface. Zhang Beixing had expected to plunge straight down as before. But, perhaps it was an illusion, for this time, as he stepped onto the water and it submerged his legs, he suddenly felt a sensation as smooth and solid as the ground beneath his feet!

Realizing this, Zhang Beixing’s expression changed dramatically, a look of delighted surprise appearing on his face.
