What happened in the outside world did not have much impact on the students of Qinglan Academy, and after the start of the new semester, the first-year students returned to the intense study life.

After a semester of study, every student feels that their strength has changed dramatically compared to when they were first admitted to Qinglan Academy.

In particular, the students who participated in the defense of the city wall more than ten days ago showed that their strength had improved significantly compared with other students who did not choose to participate in the battle. Not to mention how much they have grown after experiencing the baptism of battle, the credit rewards given by the academy after the fact alone are enough for them to improve their strength.

If you want to say who is the person who has improved the most among all the students, it must be Chen Mu, but only Chen Mu himself knows about this matter.

During the cultivation during the holidays, Chen Mu's whole person can be said to have been reborn.

In the process of long-term field combat, his sword skills have become more and more fierce unconsciously, and his body skills have become more and more unpredictable, and even his leg skills can already pose a certain threat to E-level demonic beasts.

In addition to the training in physical arts, Chen Mu's main training focus was on magic, and he did not rush to learn new magic, but first consolidated the magic he had mastered.

Since reviewing his deepest prejudice against magic, Chen Mu began to really focus on magic at this time, and he reconstructed the magic methods he had mastered, and the advantages brought by the high quality of magic finally appeared.

As he became more and more proficient in the use of magic in the course of actual combat, and more importantly, the energy utilization rate brought by the optimal energy path that was more and more in line with his own optimal energy path, the power of his magic was no longer comparable to before.

In this case, Chen Mu began to feel that the one-hole magic crystal circuit in his hand was beginning to be unable to keep up with his strength, which was another reason why Chen Mu did not learn new magic, he wanted to have enough strength to control the two-hole magic crystal circuit before learning new magic.

The improvement of both physical skills and magic has made Chen Mu's strength improve by leaps and bounds during this time, and now he can deal with F-level and E-level demonic beasts alone, and sometimes he encounters D-level demonic beasts with intact strength, although he is still not able to catch them, but he can also retreat after a fight. As long as he is cautious when doing tasks in the suburbs, Chen Mu will basically not encounter danger.

Just as Chen Mu's strength was rapidly improving, the "drawbacks" of gradually fitting his own optimal energy path were also revealed—Chen Mu's "appetite" for consuming magic crystals began to grow bigger and bigger. Originally, his extraordinary magic purity had made him more able to absorb magic crystals than ordinary people, others could only absorb 10 in a month, but he had to absorb 20 in a month.

Now that Chen Mu has further improved, according to his current absorption rate, he needs to absorb about 30 magic crystals a month, and the number is still increasing. This kind of thing is definitely a great thing for them to put on people with sufficient resources, but it is not necessarily for Chen Mu. Now the magic crystals that Chen Mu obtained by hunting demonic beasts every day, counting the exchange for primary nutrient solution and primary demonic energy potion, can only maintain the consumption of his daily cultivation.

But these difficulties did not slow Chen Mu's pace.

Especially after the start of the new semester, the daily course schedule would definitely occupy Chen Mu's cultivation time, but he didn't blindly focus on exercising and ignore the courses of Qinglan Academy. The inner courtyard also clearly stipulates that first-level disciples must complete the compulsory courses of Qinglan Academy, and Chen Mu also understands that to become an excellent demon hunter, it is not only about high combat power, but also about relevant professional knowledge.

For this reason, he adjusted his cultivation time according to his course schedule, and further compressed his sleep time, from the original six hours a day to three hours a day.

No one knew that Chen Mu had worked so hard to get to this point.

......

A month later

Hard cultivation and barely able to support the resources made Chen Mu's strength show an explosive increase, just yesterday he had passed the academy's test and became the second student in the class after Lou Wujian who could control the two-hole magic crystal circuit.

This news caused a lot of shock in the class, and everyone was curious about how Chen Mu's promotion could be so great, and in the face of everyone's inquiries, Chen Mu answered truthfully: Through hard work.

At this point, all the magic mastered by Chen Muxian has been optimized, and he is ready to learn new magic.

In addition to learning new magic, Chen Mu also needed to choose a set of intermediate physical arts to study, and with his current physical fitness, he could fully support the cultivation of intermediate physical arts. Chen Mu still clearly remembered that when he fought against Yi Zhiping in the final exam, Yi Zhiping only relied on a set of intermediate physical skills to play with him, and at that time, Chen Mu was very eager to cultivate intermediate physical skills one day, but he didn't expect this day to come so soon.

Now Chen Mu is standing in front of the screen to choose an intermediate physical technique, it is worth mentioning that in the intermediate physical technique, the type of inner courtyard and Qinglan Academy is the same, so Chen Mu does not need to go to the inner courtyard to choose.

Before choosing a physical technique, Chen Mu once again confirmed his current body data:

Name: Mu Chen

Age: 15

Awakening: Wind attribute

Power: 5.03

Speed: 15.78

Endurance: 5.06

Energy: 1230 joules

Utilization rate: 6.72%

Magic peak: 70 degrees

Chen Mu's body has such a big improvement is mainly due to the three genetic modification liquids, and the last chance for the primary genetic modification liquid to take effect was left to the strength, and he finally increased the strength attribute to more than 5. The two intermediate speed genetic modification liquids increased by 5.12 for the first time and 2.63 for the second time, increasing Chen Mu's speed attribute to nearly 16.

And Chen Mu's total energy, energy utilization rate, and magic peak have all been greatly improved, which is the result of using the "Super God State" to assist in cultivation. Judging from the data alone, except for the two data of strength and endurance, the rest of the data Chen Mu is already comparable to that of second-grade students.

The minimum requirement for the intermediate speed type of physical technique is to reach a speed of 10 or more, and there are many physical techniques for him to choose from with Chen Mu's speed attributes, and after some brushing, Chen Mu chose a set of intermediate physical techniques called Qi Imperial Body.

Qi Body: When the exercise is activated, an invisible air barrier is formed on the surface of the cultivator's body, which has a strong physical defense ability and has a certain delaying effect on magic. With the assistance of this air barrier, cultivators will more easily break through the air around them, increasing the overall speed of cultivators.

Qi Imperial Body is a set of physical techniques that integrate defense and acceleration, which just makes up for Chen Mu's lack of defense at this stage.

After choosing the physical technique, Chen Mu once again devoted himself to the state of learning and cultivating.
