The students began to laugh.

Chu Feixiong scratched his head and smiled bashfully.

Soldier’s fighting spirit gradually faded away and looked honest, determined, and rather silly again.

Honestly, if Meng Chao managed to remain strong right up to the end and even defeated Chu Feixiong, who was the strongest when it came to the Army Fist, the military school students would have been utterly humiliated, and they might actually become angry because of it. They would then not listen to him talk about the Ultimate Style.

Instead, it was better if he humbled himself and let the military school students retain some of their dignity, so their anger would not rise so high.

And just as Meng Chao expected, once he showed respect to them, the military school students did the same, and they became impressed with his actions. They traded compliments a little and became filled with expectations for the Ultimate Style.

Meng Chao struck while the iron was hot and said that the alliance of the five universities had to stand strong. They should not fight against each other at the east lake base because they only had one enemy, and it was their greatest enemy—Dragon City University’s martial arts course, which was located at the west lake base.

His words stirred up the youngsters’ desire to win and their refusal to admit defeat.

For a period of time, the atmosphere in the cultivation room was incredibly passionate. The military school students and Agricultural University students sat down side by side and focused while Meng Chao spoke about his theories.

He was not in a hurry to talk about the principles of the Ultimate Style. Instead, he drew out Surging Lightning and showed them the future One Hundred Saber Techniques. Then, he put away his saber and showed them the future versions of Reckless Bull Force and Ripple Force. After that, he asked them to compare the versions he used to the versions they learned.

“It seems like... the attack and defense rhythm in your martial arts is much faster. Your attacks are more numerous, and you give off the feeling of a storm, which would not let the enemy catch their breath.”

The military school students gathered their experiences from fighting Meng Chao and started analyzing them one after another.

“That’s right. Me and Mr. Gu’s views are that as the monsters continue to evolve and mutate, the war in the future will become even more brutal, so the easy method of accomplishing a task in one stroke by killing monsters with a single powerful move will become less effective,” Meng Chao explained.

“The development of martial arts will focus on the faster attack rhythm, and we’ll definitely have to pay more attention to control instead of energy output. What I meant is that if you can’t control the enemy’s rhythm and force it to reveal openings, then no matter how great your energy output is, it’ll be pointless because you won’t be able to hit the monsters’ vitals.

“While if you accidentally fall into the enemy’s rhythm, the moment you stiffen up while creating your spirit energy magnetic field, you’ll be crushed by the enemy.

“The brand new fighting models have much higher requirements for stamina, fine control over muscle fibers, and sharpness of our senses. To sum it up, we won’t be competing in terms of whose fist hits harder, but who makes fewer mistakes, and we’ll also lure, shift our enemy’s movements, and trick them to make more mistakes

“The One Hundred Saber Techniques, Reckless Bull Force, Ripple Force, and the Army Fist I showed you just now had a 10% increase in their attack speed compared to the mainstream versions. When you execute ten punches, I can execute eleven or twelve punches, and even if our punching force is about the same, I can predict your punching trajectory, so if I can execute one or two more punches compared to you, I will have the advantage.

“But I have to pay a price for this advantage.

“When increasing one’s rhythm, higher requirements are imposed on muscles, bones, nerve system, and organs. This problem isn’t obvious in the One Hundred Saber Techniques, Army Fist, and other basic martial arts that even normal people can learn. But if we’ll want to increase the attack speed and rhythm of the amazing martial arts that only superhumans can train, our bodies won’t be able to keep up with it, and it’ll be a problem.

“Agricultural University’s Mr. Gu Jianbo, Ms. Li Yingzi, and Senior Zong Ye predicted this, and ten years ago, they started exploring the way to cultivate the 1,024 branch meridians in an attempt to increase the power of normal attacks and the speed of our offense. They have gained early success now, and it is the Ultimate Style.”

Meng Chao turned on the military-grade laptop and opened the powerpoint Gu Jianbo had prepared before displaying it on the projector.

“The Ultimate Style isn’t a martial art used for direct fighting like the Army Fist or the One Hundred Saber Techniques. It’s more like an ideal, a cultivation method, and a tactical system.

“If we treat the Army Fist and One Hundred Saber Techniques as programmes, then the Ultimate Style is a system, and it’s a next generation system that is even more advanced than the currently popular Overkill Style. It can push the machine we know as the human body beyond its limits, and it will become faster, better, and more stable. It will help you execute Army Fist V2.0 or even Army Fist V9.0 at a much smoother, easier, and satisfactory pace.

“Later, you can create an exchange group, and I’ll share the powerpoint slides in the group. This is the culmination of Mr. Gu and the others’ blood, sweat and tears over ten years. The data is definitely accurate, and it’s very valuable.

“Two or three days later, a batch of the most advanced Ultimate Style cultivation cabins will arrive at the east lake base, and we’ll set them up for all of you to use as public cultivation cabins.

“Honestly, the cultivation cabins specially designed for the Ultimate Style require a large amount of gene medicine made of valuable ingredients and etherealized nutritional fluid every time they’re used, so the capital is rather high. That means that the cost for each isn’t cheap.

“But if you’re interested in it, you can join our cultivation feedback program and become volunteers and promoters. Then, for the next half a year, you will be able to use the cabins at cost price or at a highly discounted price. Also, with each student you manage to bring to us, you will be able to use the cabin for an hour free of charge. As long as you promote it to enough people, there’s a possibility that you won’t need to pay a single coin!

“In conclusion, you don’t have to doubt the power of the Ultimate Style. One look at you should make you understand that!” Meng Chao put on the pose of a bodybuilder and tightened his pectorals. “Half a year ago, I was ranked last in a key high school. I had hidden injuries, and my future was bleak. Even getting into college was a dream I could never realize.

“Who would have thought that in just a short one hundred days, my strength would increase by leaps and bounds? Not only did I awaken to supernatural abilities, I even killed a Bloody Moon Wolf King, defeated multiple people, and rose to fame in the alliance of the five universities?”

The expressions of the students changed. “Could it all be because of the Ultimate Style?”

“Nope.” Meng Chao thought about it and answered honestly. “My great increase in strength has almost nothing to do with the Ultimate Style.”

The group fell silent.

“What I mean is that if I could rise to power miraculously in one hundred days, it means that I am a one in a million legendary genius. And if a rare genius regards the Ultimate Style so highly, why are you still hesitating?”

The students shuddered.

The atmosphere became a little cold.

“But let’s get back to the main topic. Next, I will use the Wolf Crocodiles, Ghost-arrow Pigs, and Hundred-eyed Toads I killed during the day as examples and talk in detail about how branch meridian cultivation can increase the power in the muscle groups in your arms. Those muscle groups are your deltoids, triceps, biceps, and brachioradialis. Then, I’ll show you how this increase in power in the muscles helped me execute even fiercer One Hundred Saber Techniques!”

Meng Chao coughed dryly and turned on the videos showing the first-person-view of his fights during the day, along with the videos of his fights filmed from multiple angles, which were given to him courtesy of his coursemates’ views. He also showed the frozen carcasses of the three monsters he killed in the most perfect fashion so that the students could admire them.

The first exchange of the Ultimate Style study group was very successful.

When many of the students showed up, they regarded Ultimate Style with disdain or came just for fun, but when the exchange ended, they found themselves wanting to know more. They sighed, because it was much more than they expected, and they knew that it was worth their time.

The different exchanges, lectures, and intensive classes held at the east lake base by the outstanding peers like Shao Jianqing and various famous lecturers from universities might offer to teach them amazing martial arts which were even more powerful than the Ultimate Style, but the problem was that if a martial art was suitable for Shao Jianqing, it didn’t mean that it was suitable for the untameable brats and the normal Red Dragon Army soldiers, who were much more numerous than the superhumans.

In comparison, the things Meng Chao brought out, regardless of whether they were the Ultimate Style, the corrupted Army Fist, Ripple Force V2.0, or the future One Hundred Saber Techniques, had very low requirements to practice them. And if a normal person had hopes of learning them, then superhumans were definitely able to learn them.

Quite a number of people were even interested in Meng Chao’s Surging Lightning.

It was mainly because they saw that the wounds left on the three monster carcasses were really fine and not much blood had spilled out.

The Ultimate Style, One Hundred Saber Techniques, and Meng Chao’s knowledge of the monsters’ structures were key components in helping him leave behind such beautiful wounds, but if he did not have the help of a good weapon, it would have been impossible.

Meng Chao generously let them play with Surging Lightning, and many of the military school students felt that it was much lighter and fiercer compared to the sabers they were currently using. It was especially suited for the One Hundred Saber Techniques and could bring out their full power.

“This saber is pretty good. How many monster coins did you spend to buy it? Why didn’t I see it available for trade at the weapons center?”

As the group caressed the runic symbols on the spine of the saber, they could not help but admire it.

“This is a test version. The factory asked me to get data from practical fights for them. It’s not available in the market for the time being,” Meng Chao said with a smile.

“This is awesome!”

The military school students were shocked. “You’re just a freshman, and there is already a weapons manufacturer asking you to test out their weapon and gather data for them? This is a very rare honor. Only super freshmen like Shao Jianqing get this sort of treatment in the military school.”

“That’s not true.” Meng Chao felt that he had to keep a low profile, or else, he would not appear actually friendly. “I have a small share in this saber, so I could take it for testing. It’s not because my fighting strength is really great.”

The students looked at each other. They could not tell whether Meng Chao was pretending to be weak again.

Meng Chao thought of something at that moment. “If you think that this saber is pretty good, I can ask the factory to get a batch of test version sabers over. Then, could all of you talk about your feelings about the activities we held in the Ultimate Group study group tonight among your circle of friends or in your social media outlets?

“If your likes and shares go over one hundred, I promise you a Surging Lightning Youth Version. The three people who will get most likes and shares will receive Surging Lightning Youth Version’s flagship model.

“You’re all the first batch of the Ultimate Style enthusiasts and promoters, so this is a small, personal gift from me to you. I hope that we can work together in the path that we’re going to take and figure out how to make the Ultimate Style even stronger!”
