Chapter 106: Slap Her Face
At night, in the room.
Lin Zichen sat on the bed with his back against the wall, curiously looking through the blood quenching technique that Liu Chuanwu had given him.
The book is not the original ancient book, but a translation into modern Chinese, full of annotations.
Under the blessing of the wisdom of heaven and man.
Lin Zichen flipped through the pages quickly, reading ten lines at a glance.
In less than half an hour, he finished reading the entire thick book on blood quenching.
I learned that the blood quenching technique is divided into three stages.
…
Phase one.
Feel the existence of qi and blood, and try to control it.
…
Phase 2.
Control the qi and blood to temper the body, first temper the skin, then temper the flesh, and finally temper the bones.
Tempering the skin and flesh is very simple. No matter whether you have talent or not, as long as your qi and blood are sufficient, you will be able to temper them successfully. It is just a matter of time.
The difficult part is tempering the bones. Without enough talent, it is impossible to control the qi and blood to seep into the bones for tempering.
Even if one has talent and can control the qi and blood to temper the bones, one may not be able to withstand the intense pain caused during the tempering process.
However, the harder something is to do, the higher the reward will be when it is completed.
As long as the skin, flesh and bones are all tempered, the body strength can reach the level of ordinary ninth level.
If a second tempering can be performed, the physical strength can be comparable to that of a high-level gene fusionist.
If you are even more awesome, you can undergo three temperings and your physical strength can surpass that of advanced gene fusionists.
The maximum number of times the body could be tempered, as recorded in ancient books, was five.
But up to now, only Liu Chuanwu has spent decades of practice and has accomplished three body temperings with great difficulty. No one knows how powerful the body will be after the fourth or fifth tempering.
Liu Chuanwu speculated in his annotations that if three temperings could crush a high-level first-order gene fusionist, then four temperings should be able to crush a high-level second-order gene fusionist, and the same would apply to five temperings.
…
The third stage.
After the body tempering is completed, control the qi and blood to open the acupoints of the body.
There are 366 acupoints in total. The improvement in strength brought by opening each acupoint is comparable to tempering the body once more.
Once all the acupoints are opened, the legendary sanctification of the body can be achieved.
The notes in the book speculate that as long as one can open even one acupoint, a pure-blooded human body can break free from the shackles of ordinary levels and evolve into a higher-level creature.
…
After comprehending the blood quenching technique, Lin Zichen began to try the first stage - sensing qi and blood.
Close your eyes, calm your mind, and concentrate.
Follow the instructions in the book and use your mental power to sense the qi and blood flowing in your body.
In less than three seconds, he successfully sensed the qi and blood.
It's easier than you think.
After sensing the Qi and blood, the next thing to do is to try to control the Qi and blood.
This process is a bit difficult.
Lin Zichen tried for almost half an hour before he succeeded in controlling the qi and blood in his body.
Being able to control Qi and blood means being able to temper the body.
Lin Zichen didn't want to wait even a second longer, and immediately began to temper his body without any instruction.
The first part he wanted to temper was the skin of his entire right hand.
During the tempering process, the tempered skin will feel a burning sensation, which is a bit painful but not strong.
[You are using Qi and Blood to refine your skin. Skin strength +1, Blood Refining Skill proficiency +1...]
About half an hour later.
Tempering is complete.
The skin of the entire right hand seems to have no changes on the surface, but it can be clearly felt that it has become tougher than before.
At this time, less than 1% of the qi and blood in the body has been consumed and is still very full.
"I don't know how tough the skin on my right hand is now. Go get a knife and cut it to see how strong it is."
Thinking of this, Lin Zichen quickly went downstairs to the kitchen, picked up a fruit knife, and scratched the back of his right hand hard.
Then I found that there was nothing wrong with the back of my hand, just a faint scratch on it.
"He's invulnerable to swords and spears after just one tempering. No wonder Liu Chuanwu, who's been tempered three times, can withstand Wu Tiancheng's feather shooting."
"I have to say, this blood quenching technique that can only be practiced by a pure-blooded human body is indeed quite something."
"I wonder how strong my body will be after five temperings."
Thinking of this, Lin Zichen became excited and immediately returned to the room upstairs to continue tempering his skin.
…
Shanhai University.
A training ground at a martial arts academy.
A graceful woman wearing a martial arts uniform and a ponytail is doing high-intensity exercise inside.
Just as she was sweating passionately, Liu Chuanwu walked in from outside humming a tune, with a happy expression on his face.
"Dean, what makes you so happy?"
The woman stopped training, raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and asked curiously.
Liu Chuanwu raised the corner of his mouth and said proudly, "Thanks to my unparalleled personal charm, the runner-up in the Nanjiang Province college entrance examination and the first in the province's physical test has become a member of our Tianren Pavilion."
"Is this true?"
The woman's face was full of disbelief.
She had experienced deeply in the past ten years how unpopular Tianren Pavilion was among geniuses. It was hard to imagine that a genius would be willing to give up gene fusion and choose to join Tianren Pavilion.
"Really? I've already added him on WeChat."
Liu Chuanwu opened the screen of his mobile phone, opened the WeChat friend list, and displayed it in front of the woman.
After seeing Lin Zichen's name, the woman couldn't help but widen her eyes. She didn't expect that the useless dean actually recruited the provincial runner-up.
"Dean, how did you do it?"
"It's my personal charm."
"Oh, you're still bragging. Tell the truth quickly."
The woman had no patience to listen to his bragging and just wanted to know the truth quickly.
Liu Chuanwu spoke frankly, "Actually, I didn't do much. I just told him that the benefits that the Evolution Academy could give him, our Tianren Pavilion would directly pay three times as much."
"three times?!"
The woman was stunned. After a moment's reaction, she said anxiously, "Hey, Dean, our funds are almost used up. No, not almost used up, but we are already in debt. Where are you going to get the money to give people triple benefits?"
After saying that, the woman hurriedly urged, "Dean, please stop chatting with me here. Go find your old friends and reminisce about the past. Go sell your body for some money!"
Liu Chuanwu said confidently, "Don't worry, I just made an appointment. One in the first half of the night, one in the second half of the night, and one tomorrow morning. Triple the benefits is more than enough."
After saying that, he looked at the woman and asked, "By the way, Yuyan, when you got the translated version of the Blood Tempering Technique, how long did it take you to sense the Qi and blood?"
"That happened ten years ago, but if I remember correctly, it took me a week to sense the Qi and blood."
Song Yuyan said after recalling it.
Liu Chuanwu asked again: "What about blood control?"
Song Yuyan answered affirmatively: "As for controlling the qi and blood, I remember it very clearly. It took exactly two months."
Liu Chuanwu sighed, "A week to sense Qi and blood, two months to control it. As expected of someone who ranked second in the Kyoto college entrance exam. His talent is truly exceptional. I consider myself a genius, but back then, it took me almost two weeks just to sense Qi and blood. It's truly incredible when compared to others."
"Dean, please don't mention the words 'Second Place in Kyoto' in front of me."
Song Yuyan said distressedly, "Ever since I gave up on gene fusion and chose to join the Tianren Pavilion to study pure-blooded humans, I haven't been able to evolve into a higher-level creature. Over the years, I've been ridiculed and treated like an ordinary person. I'm so fed up!"
Liu Chuanwu said disapprovingly, "If others like to laugh, then let them laugh. What's so annoying about that?"
"I've been laughed at for decades, but I'm still as strong as ever."
"We're like sleeping on straw and tasting gall. The more frustrated we are now, the more exhilarating it will be when we explode in the future."
Liu Chuanwu continued, "In a few years, when you evolve from a pure-blooded human into a high-level creature, you'll make a splash and easily defeat your fellow gene-fusion students."
"A few years?" Song Yuyan smiled bitterly, "I don't think I can do it in ten years."
The acupoints are really difficult to open.
Ever since completing her first body tempering five years ago, Song Yuyan has been trying to open the acupoints.
But five years have passed, and the body has been tempered twice, but not even a single acupoint has been opened.
To be honest, she felt that opening the acupoints was something she would do in her lifetime.
If you can open one before the age of fifty, it will be considered a success.
Thinking about it, Song Yuyan suddenly asked, "By the way, Dean, did you give Lin Zichen a copy of the translated version of the Blood Tempering Technique?"
"Of course I did. I won't forget something so important."
Liu Chuanwu said, "I'm hoping he can master blood control before school starts, and then evolve to the fourth level of biology as soon as school starts, and start tempering his body right away."
Song Yuyan asked, "Dean, how long do you think it will take for him to successfully sense the Qi and blood?"
"I estimate I'll be able to sense it in 10 days." Liu Chuanwu explained, "That kid's physical test data is very exaggerated. Compared to your physical test data for the college entrance examination, it's only slightly different."
Song Yuyan said with some anticipation, "I guess he must have thought that there were only a few geniuses in Tianren Pavilion and that he was the most talented. I wonder if he will be shocked when he sees me, a beautiful senior with even higher talent than him, after school starts, and is stunned?"
Seeing Song Yuyan's expectant look, Liu Chuanwu realized that this woman was really hypocritical.
Song Yuyan always said that he liked to show off and was very annoying.
What's the result?
Aren't you still thinking about showing off in front of the talented juniors?
I hope that kid Lin Zichen can perform better than her and slap her face until it swells up!
