During dinner in the evening, Zhang Xiaolan showed some concern for Chen Chu's practice today.

Even his younger brother Chen Hu was a little curious.

However, this was only the first day of learning, and they had only learned ordinary foundation-building techniques, so Chen Chu simply said a few words and ended the topic.

After dinner, Chen Chu took a shower and returned to the room. He sat cross-legged on the bed and began to meditate.

As he closed his eyes and concentrated, an illusory lotus slowly emerged in his dark mind.

According to that post, the first-grade lotus meditation method, when meditating on the materialization of the lotus, is a process of constantly purifying and concentrating spiritual power.

Condensing the loose and empty spiritual power of ordinary people into a 'real' existence that can weakly interfere with matter is the key to building the foundation of drawing qi into the body.

As for what is drawing qi into the body, no details were given, it was just said that at this point, the teachers in school would naturally tell them.

The lotus has twelve petals. During the afternoon meditation class, Chen Chu spent half an hour and condensed most of the petals.

At this time, as he practiced, the petal continued to become complete at a slow pace.

call!

More than half an hour later, Chen Chu slowly opened his eyes. He looked a little tired, but there was satisfaction in his eyes because he had completely materialized a petal.

However, my proficiency only increased by 4 points this time, 1 point less than in the afternoon. I don’t know if it’s because I had the help of the meditation diagram because it was my first time practicing.

However, at this rate, even if it's 4 points at a time, if he practices twice a day, he is expected to break through in about ten days.

Moreover, during this practice, the spiritual attribute increased by another 0.1.

Next, Chen Chu practiced the Body Casting Technique in the room.

Although there was no light from the Blood Essence Stone to assist him, with the attribute page, Chen Chu could still keenly feel the faint Qi and blood in his body when practicing the Body Casting Technique.

During physical training, the mental force controls the flow of qi and blood, which imperceptibly strengthens the physical condition wherever it passes. The first time takes thirty-five minutes.

Then I practiced it again, which took me thirty minutes, and my proficiency level increased by 2.

However, this time the physical attribute was only increased by 0.1, which was half the effect of the first increase in Qi and blood in the afternoon.

After practicing twice in a row, Chen Chu couldn't take it anymore. He felt exhausted. He had consumed too much physical and mental strength.

My physical condition is still too poor. I can’t even move two turns of qi and blood.

Sighing, Chen Chu drank some hot water, then lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Chen Chu is very motivated about this kind of technique that can cultivate extraordinary powers.

Even if he is a little slow at the beginning due to his physical condition, it doesn’t matter. He has an attribute page to fix his proficiency. If he works hard, he will be rewarded.

If it weren't for the fact that practicing once was very physically and mentally demanding and required a long rest to recover, he would have wished he could practice twenty-four hours a day.

The next day, as soon as Chen Chu walked into the classroom, he saw everyone was discussing cultivation.

Some people asked the other person which petal they had meditated to, while others were concerned about how to practice the Body Forging Technique faster and for longer, and felt that practice was very difficult.

There are also a few girls who, judging from their complaints, are ready to give up practicing.

After each practice, they felt sore all over and exhausted, and after meditation, they saw stars and felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. In this situation, it was obvious that they had no talent for practice.

Chen Chu came to his seat and sat down. Xia Youhui in the front row came over and said, "Ah Chu, how is your progress in meditation and body casting?"

"It's okay." Chen Chu said casually.

Xia Youhui continued to ask, "How much is still okay?"

"you guess."

"We are good brothers, and you actually asked me to guess. It's just the progress of practicing the foundation-building technique." Xia Youhui looked heartbroken.

"You didn't say it either, why don't you tell me what stage you have reached in your cultivation?" Chen Chu was unmoved.

"There's nothing to be said about this."

Xia Youhui said modestly, "My talent is very ordinary. I have only meditated to the third petal, and the Body Forging Technique can barely move two turns in half an hour."

"I only practiced six times last night, and then I felt tired and went to bed."

...Chen Chu suddenly didn't want to talk to this guy anymore.

The Body Forging Technique can be moved twice in half an hour, which means it can be practiced once every fifteen minutes, and it can be practiced six times in one breath. The meditation method is also twice as fast as his.

Xia Youhui asked curiously: "Achu, what about you?"

"Much worse than you. The first petal of the meditation method takes thirty minutes to transport qi and blood." From Xia Youhui's progress, it can be seen that his progress is very average, so Chen Chu did not hide it.

But after Chen Chu finished speaking, Xia Youhui was slightly stunned: "That's not right, I remember that it took you almost an hour to barely complete one operation yesterday, right?"

"It may be that I was a little unfamiliar with the first practice. I became much more proficient in the second practice in the evening." Chen Chu said casually.

"...Is that so?" Xia Youhui nodded thoughtfully.

The morning's cultural classes passed by in a flash.

At noon, Chen Chu took the food from the cafeteria and found a corner to sit down. Before he started eating, Xia Youhui followed him excitedly.

Xia Youhui said excitedly: "Ah Chu, the ranking of freshmen in the whole grade is out. Guess where class monitor Lin Xue ranks?"

"Is there a ranking for this?" Chen Chu was a little confused.

He had heard of rankings for campus beauties in universities, but he didn't expect that there would be a ranking for freshmen in high school when these talents came into contact with cultivation.

"Achu, don't underestimate this ranking."

Xia Youhui shook his head: "We have more than 1,800 freshmen in Wugao this year. All of them have practiced the foundation-building method. Those who can stand out are all geniuses."

"And the ranking only records the top 100. It's not easy to make the list."

"For example, An Fuqing from Class 1 has visualized eleven petals and can move seven turns of the Body Casting Technique within half an hour, ranking first."

"I feel like within two days, she will be the first one to successfully build her foundation."

"...Okay, I'm a waste." Hearing this exaggerated progress, Chen Chu didn't know what to say for a moment.

He could barely make one turn in half an hour, while others could make seven turns in half an hour, and some could even visualize the lotus to the point of eleven petals.

The gap was so big that Chen Chu couldn't even feel jealous.

Seeing that Chen Chu didn't speak for a while, Xia Youhui thought he was hit and quickly comforted him: "A Chu, don't be discouraged, this is just building the foundation."

"Just because they can practice foundation building techniques quickly doesn't mean they are highly compatible with the True Martial Arts."

"Even if we are ten days or half a month behind them in building our foundation, as long as the Zhenwu techniques we practice are highly compatible, we will be able to catch up with them soon."

"The Zhenwu technique also has a degree of compatibility, what is that?" Chen Chu was a little surprised.

"Well... I don't really know much about this. My brother mentioned it to me casually before."

Xia Youhui coughed dryly: "Guess what position our squad leader Lin Xue is in?"

"Hahahaha, you will never guess it." Without waiting for Chen Chu to guess, Xia Youhui burst into laughter and said impatiently.

"Lin Xue is only 67th. 67th. I am dying of laughter."

"That woman was so arrogant yesterday, I thought she had an incredible talent, but I didn't expect she was only ranked 67th."

"Hahahaha... Ah Chu, you know, I laughed for a long time when I saw this ranking."

cough!

Chen Chu glanced at the girl who was walking behind him and suddenly stopped, especially the girl's increasingly cold expression, and changed the subject without leaving a trace.

"Xia Youhui, how do you know all this? It seems that only I know the progress of their cultivation, and who ranked them?"

"Don't you know?" Xia Youhui was stunned.

"The ranking of freshmen is posted on the school's official website. Anyone who pays attention to the official website will know it."

"As for their progress in cultivation, they told me this themselves when someone asked them this morning. Someone specially compiled it and made a list."

“Although this ranking is not very accurate and changes every day, it also indirectly shows their talent and potential. Many teachers are paying attention to them.”

After saying that, Xia Youhui shrank his neck and said inexplicably: "Strange, why do I feel a little cold..."
