September 15th, three days after the Tianlian attack.

Zhao Huo was invited by Bai Ji to visit Ren Suo's home. After Ren Xingmei opened the door for him, Zhao Huo greeted her and asked as soon as he came in: "Wow, I heard that Ren Suo smeared feces on the wall, is it true?"

He looked around and saw Dong Chengling and Bai Ji were there. In addition to Ren Suo's sister, there were three female students. The owner of the house, Ren Suo, was sitting on a cushion in the corner of the living room, activating the spiritual energy gathering device and practicing meditation.

The fact that Ren Suo suddenly became diligent was not concealed for long. When he went to Dong Chengling's house for lunch at noon, Ren Xingmei said with admiration that her brother seemed like a different person early in the morning. Then the news spread like wildfire and circulated everywhere in the circle of friends.

If it was in the past, it would be fine, but last night Ren Suo made a big splash as a healing monk. Although the Countermeasures Bureau also has healing monks, and more than one, they do not have such high-end spells as "surgical line" and "pain relief therapy", not to mention that Ren Suo used the "Pure White Holy Grail" when treating patients. The treatment effect was almost visibly better than theirs, and the patients had to give him a thumbs up: Ren Suo's milk supply is sufficient!

Even Vice Principal Yuan Chu thought that Tianlian had found a treasure, and the Tianlian Academy’s internal public account even quickly pushed this news: "A medic who doesn’t want to be a soldier is not a good cultivator!"

After all, they were suddenly attacked by foreign supernatural forces three days ago. Although Tianlian was caught in an unexpected disaster, it was also a fact that she was beaten by the assassins. If it were not for the help of the Asgardian killers, only a very few people could survive and escape.

The news of the attack is still under blockade. Dozens of foreign gangsters used firearms in the Extraordinary Academy in the core city. This incident is so bad that the Countermeasures Bureau is working overtime to hunt down the fugitives, but there is still no conclusion on the cause of the incident.

Those who can be teachers in Tianlian College are considered to be talents with "great potential and should continue their studies". Although no one will say it out loud, they all have the idea that "all the great power is concentrated in one person, and one person can resist millions of troops".

There are more than just fighting options for extraordinary people (for example, being a construction worker is also very promising), but for now, combat power is indeed a simple standard to measure the strength of extraordinary people.

Now the teachers have been stunned by the assassins and they need a bowl of chicken soup to cheer themselves up. It just so happens that Ren Suo's news material is delivered to their doorstep. Why not use it?

The useless medic rekindles his fighting spirit, crying and shouting that he wants to practice and work hard. What a great plot! If it were put into an animation, it would be a passionate and classic plot!

Not only should students practice well and strive to enter the first level as soon as possible, but the monk teachers who are currently in the second level should practice even more well, otherwise they will not even be able to beat medics in the future!

When Zhao Huo heard the news, he naturally didn't believe it. He thought that Ren Suo would be defeated after only two days. However, when he came over on the third day, he saw Ren Suo actually practicing in broad daylight. It was truly terrifying.

"How long has he been practicing?"

Zhao Huo asked Ren Xingmei who was standing beside him, and Ren Xingmei said, "It's been three hours. I have been practicing since lunch and haven't rested."

Zhao Huo raised his eyebrows slightly - practicing "Xuan Jun Secret Record" is extremely exhausting of the mind and the active spiritual energy in the cyclone. It takes a complete cycle to expand the cyclone. Generally speaking, the state is adjusted after practicing a cycle.

If you practice continuously, it is not one cycle at a time, but one cycle after another, without any rest in between. They call it "multiple cycles".

Although the cultivation time is the same, according to information released by national departments, the efficiency of the second Zhoutian is 25% higher than the second Zhoutian, the efficiency of the third Zhoutian is 50% higher than the third Zhoutian, and the efficiency of the fourth Zhoutian is 100% higher than the fourth Zhoutian!

As for the five levels of circulation, it has not been written down. Maybe no one has been able to do it so far.

However, running multiple cycles of Qi consumes a lot of mind and spiritual energy, and once the mind is lost and the spiritual energy is out of control, it will be a complete waste of time. Moreover, the more you run multiple cycles of Qi, the more tired you will be. Zhao Huo has only successfully completed the second cycle of Qi once.

Ordinary practice is equivalent to asking an ordinary person to jog for exercise, while multiple Zhoutian is equivalent to asking a fat person to run a marathon to lose weight - the difficulty is incomparable.

If it is ordinary practice, you can take a break in the middle. Only when you circulate multiple cycles will it be so tiring.

As if he had seen through Zhao Huo's thoughts, Dong Chengling, who was sitting next to him, suddenly said, "Wait until Ren Suo has completed the three-fold circulation, then we can talk about business."

"The triple Zhoutian is so cruel?" Zhao Huo was shocked. The triple Zhoutian is not just a simple case of a fat boy running a marathon, but a fat boy taking laxatives until his legs are weak, and then running a marathon surrounded by a bunch of glowing food - it is a double torture to the body and soul.

"It's okay, it's not particularly difficult, just a little tiring. Ren Suo has persisted for three days." Dong Chengling said lightly.

Zhao Huo was speechless immediately - Dong Chengling's cultivation speed far exceeded that of Tongji, and it was not just as simple as the longer cultivation time.

For Dong Chengling, practicing multiple Zhoutian is probably as easy as cooking. Only the triple and quadruple Zhoutian will be a little difficult for her.

"How many cycles?"

Lin Xianyu, who was eating cake at the side, was confused when she heard this, so Bai Ji briefly explained the multiple circulations to these students. Gu Yueyan was shocked: "No one has ever told me this technique! Sister Ling——"

"Because this is a skill that can only be used at the second level, and you haven't learned the complete version of "Xuanjun Secret Records Chapter 1", so you can't use it." Dong Chengling explained: "Even at the second level, only a very small number of people can operate multiple cycles of the heavenly realm, which requires great perseverance and determination."

Bai Ji also sighed: "Yes, even I can only achieve the level of the second Zhoutian, but after Ren Suo made up his mind, he was able to achieve this level. He is really worthy of me..."

Bai Ji subconsciously glanced at Dong Chengling: "...Where is the man I care about."

The atmosphere suddenly became a little weird. Everyone else thought that Bai Ji's subtext was that he thought Ren Suo was his love rival, but Dong Chengling was the only one who knew that Bai Ji's words actually had no subtext...

"Why are you all here?" A weak question suddenly came from the corner of the living room.

After finally completing the fourth circulation of the Qi, Ren Suo came out of the small dark room where he was practicing. When he opened his eyes, he saw a large group of people in the living room.

He asked subconsciously at first, then suddenly became excited, dragged his limp body over, pressed Bai Ji's shoulder excitedly, and asked, "Is the college going to assign me a task? Don't be polite, just tell me! Whether it's a business trip or on duty at the school hospital, I can do it!"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and even Zhao Huo had to believe the content pushed by the official account - this medic really seemed like a different person, and was almost becoming the male version of Dong Chengling!

You are a healing monk who stays at home every day, but now you are actively eager to work. Can work make you happy?

Facing everyone's admiring or appreciative eyes, Ren Suo was the only one who couldn't say anything about his suffering - yes, work really could make him happy!

During these three days, his time was basically divided up between exercise, study, and practice. Only eating and defecation could allow him to relax a little. Ren Suo had thought about whether he should spend these days squatting in the toilet, but he didn't expect that when he went to the toilet, there was no problem for the first ten minutes. After ten minutes, the warm energy in his body would directly control his sphincters, forcing him to finish the battle within three minutes!

Ren Suo had no choice but to drink more water, at least to buy more time, and take a shower whenever he started sweating. Taking a shower three times a day was commonplace, but he could only take a shower for half an hour at most. When the time was up, he was forced to leave the bathroom, regardless of whether he was wearing clothes or not.

Fortunately, Ren Suo was given an hour to eat. If he ate slowly, he would not be able to eat after an hour; if he ate quickly, he would not have to continue his schedule in advance - because he was eating at Dong Chengling's house, it would seem impolite to leave early, so he had to at least wash the dishes.

So is it really that painful to exercise, practice, and study? Yes, it is.

Not to mention the training, all the practice and study were done in a small dark room that blocked out all external sounds and light sources. Ren Suo was required to complete the task within a specified time period, otherwise all his merits would be deducted.

He really wasn't this diligent even when he was in his senior year of high school. He couldn't slack off at all. He had to study attentively every minute, otherwise he would have to extend his study time!

Ren Suo had thought about simply deducting all his merits, but in the small dark room, he suddenly thought of a question -

He has a player privilege called "Plucking Feathers from Passing Geese".

If this deduction of merit does not trigger the player's privilege, it would be fine, at most the merit will be lost, but if it triggers...

Plundering a passing goose: There is a 50% chance of -1 point of required merit consumption, a 30% chance of -10 points of required merit consumption (cannot make the opponent pay), a 19% chance of not consuming merit, and a 1% chance of triggering the special effect "profiteer".

Each time merit is deducted, only 1 merit point will be deducted.

In other words, if Ren Suo triggers this player privilege, he can stay in the small dark room until he suffers from schizophrenia.

If it is not triggered, Ren Suo will have to stay in the small dark room for N hours and all his merits will be deducted; if it is triggered, Ren Suo will stay in the small dark room until he dies.

What could Ren Suo do? He was also desperate. He couldn't even be a salted fish. He could only study with tears in his eyes.

Cultivation was similar, but more brutal than learning—because cultivation required Ren Suo to practice continuously. At that time, he didn't know the concept of multiple circulations. However, just like exercising the body, the energy that controlled him in his body also helped in cultivation.

But although he was helpful, Ren Suo still had to bear the mental and physical exhaustion caused by practicing. So every time after practicing, Ren Suo almost turned into a puddle of mud and lay on the ground.

However, there was no concept of 'rest' in his schedule, so he could only move on to the next arrangement.

Compared to the schedule, work was so enjoyable that Ren Suo was so excited to see Bai Ji.

Ren Xingmei couldn't help but remind Ren Suo: "Brother, Teacher Bai and Teacher Dong called this morning and said they would come to see you in the afternoon. I already told you, did you forget?"

morning?

Ren Suo thought that he was learning English in a small dark room in the morning. He only remembered opening the dictionary and seeing the first word was "abandon". He was completely unaware of anything happening in the outside world.

However, Bai Ji was very touched when he heard Ren Suo volunteering to work, and then he rejected him: "The academy has not assigned any work to you yet, and the school hospital has sufficient manpower. You should practice diligently at home! I will try my best to reduce your workload!"

Zhao Huo nodded at the side and said with admiration: "Ren Suo, you are already a mature cultivator. You no longer rely on us, and you have learned to become stronger on your own. It's amazing!"

Ren Suo looked dejected after hearing this and sat down listlessly. Without any urgent work, even if Ren Suo wanted to go to the battlefield with all his passion, he couldn't do it. He could only die in the small dark room.

However, his friend's visit was an emergency, so Ren Suo could take a break. He forced himself to be energetic, smiled and asked, "Then what are you doing here?"

"Cheng Ling and I came here to tell you a trick to advance to the third level." Bai Ji smiled and pointed at the cake on the table: "By the way, I made a cake and came to comfort you."

Ren Suo looked at his sister and the other four girls, and suddenly said, "Qin Lian?"

In addition to my sister, Gu Yueyan, and Lin Xianyu, Qin Lian also came.

"Hello, Brother Ren." Qin Lian said politely. This was not the first time they met. Ren Suo had treated Yu Kuangtu at Qin Lian's home. When school started, Ren Suo had also called Qin Lian to say hello. If there was anything on campus, he could come to him.

"Today, the college finally lifted the ban and allowed students to move freely on campus. We came to visit you right away and bought some fruit."

Lin Xianyu still had butter on her lips. She pointed at the watermelon on the table seriously and said, "Brother Ren, let's put the watermelon in the refrigerator and eat it together later?"

"It's obviously you who wanted to eat watermelon." Ren Suo saw through Lin Xianyu's trick at a glance.

Lin Xianyu giggled and said nothing. Qin Lian looked at Bai Ji and Dong Chengling and asked, "Should we avoid them...?"

"No, no, there's no harm in you listening." Bai Ji turned to look at Zhao Huo: "Teacher Zhao seems to be about to be promoted, so I took this opportunity to find you and talk to you together."

"Thank you." Zhao Huo thanked him sincerely, but he couldn't help asking, "Is this a very important secret? It can't be passed on to others?"

Bai Ji and Dong Chengling looked at each other, and then Bai Ji smiled bitterly: "Rather than saying it's a secret...it's more of a guess on our part."

"It's not that we don't want to make this technique known to the public, but we are not 100% sure of its practicality. We have already reported this technique to the academy, but Tianjin has not yet reached a conclusion on it."

"But I think this technique will be useful to you who are about to be promoted to the third level." Bai Ji looked at Ren Suo and Zhao Huo earnestly and said:

“So before anything is concluded, I want to tell you first, otherwise if you miss it, you will really miss it.

Of course, if you suffer any losses as a result of this, I am willing to take responsibility..."

"How could that be!" Zhao Huo said, "We are the ones who listened to your advice and made the choice. Even if something happens, we will never blame you."

Ren Suo glanced at Dong Chengling, who nodded slightly, so he also said, "I believe in you and Chengling."

Bai Ji was very satisfied with the answers of Ren Suo and Zhao Huo. He came here with Dong Chengling this time, naturally with good intentions.

As for inviting Zhao Huo over, it was because Zhao Huo had a good relationship with Ren Suo.

Bai Ji knew that relationships could only be deepened through frequent contact, but as the head of the university teaching group, he was usually too busy, so he chose a method: saving the country in a roundabout way.

If Lian Rensuo's friends are friendly to him, then there will be no obstacles!

He didn't expect that the students that Ren Suo was familiar with would also come, and Ren Suo's sister was also there. But it was okay, it would be good to increase the favorability of so many people at once.

But Bai Ji has been careful to hide his thoughts until now - even to Dong Chengling, Bai Ji only said "I just want to know more about Ren Suo".

Become best friends first, then go further!

Sitting in the living room today, you may be lying in bed tomorrow night!
