Chapter 59 This Year"s Students Are Not GoodThis was the cultivation method of Spiritual Force created by the founding emperor of the North Sea Empire, Li Jianxin, the G.o.d of Sword.
Of course, this was just a simplified version, which mentioned the necessity of Spiritual Force cultivation—if one"s willpower was not strong enough, he could not control some high-level martial skills. What was even more fatal was that once he encountered the will shock of a person with a strong Spiritual Force, he would lose his fighting ability on the spot.
Moreover, the powerful Spiritual Force was also the premise of refining elixirs, carving Mystery Mark and setting up Mystery Formations.
In short, a truly powerful warrior would be able to build up his physical body from the outside while strengthening his spirit from the inside.
The internal and external were united as one.
Only in this way could one be truly powerful.
The basics were a textbook.
They"re also a cultivation method.
The method of cultivation was mainly based on two methods—
Breathing.
Meditation.
This was the initial stage of the Spiritual Power practice method.
When it came to the later stage, there would be the art of visualization, which was more advanced.
However, for the art of visualization, the basics were just a casual description, and there was no detailed mention of it.
Lin Beichen was not disappointed at all.
Because for a newbie like him, the most important thing was to lay the foundation, and then the high-level method was now indeed useless.
He read the thorough explanation and tried it out according to the recorded breathing and meditation methods.
As a result…
“It seems that I am indeed not a genius of martial arts.”
After several attempts, Lin Beichen completely gave up.
There were too many distracting thoughts.
There was no way he could focus at all.
As a cheating player, he shouldn"t have too much expectation on himself.
“Well, I"d better… continue to cheat.”
After sighing with emotion, Lin Beichen took out his mobile phone without hesitation and began to shoot the basics.
Not surprisingly, he created an app named “Spiritual Force Basics” in the phone"s App Store.
He downloaded and installed it consuming date of 300MB. Then, he clicked on it to operate it.
In the app, the interface surfaced, and as expected, it was the ink-wash painting as usual. The ink-wash figure the same as Lin Beichen sat cross-legged on a cloud, closed his eyes, and breathed regularly to meditate.
Lin Beichen thought shamelessly. “Heh heh heh. Still, cheating feels better.”
At this time, there was a rumbling sound in his stomach, and a sense of hunger hit him like a tide.
Awkward.
In an instant, he felt as if he had been drained of all his strength.
He had been searching frantically for Star Badges for the entire day, and he did not even attend to his lunch, much less a hunting trip.
Lin Beichen thought bitterly. “Looks like I"m going to starve.”
Time flew by.
This was the second time that Lin Beichen had felt the pain of hunger since he came to this world.
The feeling of starvation was like torture.
The longer he endured, the more uncomfortable he felt.
His stomach growled with protest.
His chest was about to touch his back.
At this time, a small basket of fruits was handed out from the inner room of the tent.
Yue Hongxiang"s voice came out. She said softly, “I"m sorry that I didn"t succeed in hunting today. I just picked some wild fruits. Lin Beichen, if you don"t mind, eat them first.”
“Thank you.”
Lin Beichen grabbed the wild fruits and gobbled three or four of them. It was not until the sour and sweet juice entered his throat that he felt a little comfortable.
After that, the atmosphere in the tent became silent again.
From the first night, Wu Xiaofang and Mu Xinyue had not appeared in this tent. A man and a woman were alone in the same tent. They both were restrained, nearly not talking to each other. It was the first time that they had said so many words as they just did.
“By the way, Yue Hongxiang, how"s your wrist injury?”
Lin Beichen broke the silence and forced an awkward chat.
Yue Hongxiang said, “Much better.”
“Oh.”
Lin Beichen didn"t have anything to say again.
The conversation ended.
After Lin Beichen summoned his mobile phone and thought about it for a while, he only set the upgraded version of the “Basic Close Triple Sword Strikes” and the “Spiritual Force Basics” running at the backstage. Then he turned off other apps such as the “Intermediate Mystery Energy Condensing Skill”.
His main cultivation goal with his cheating phone now was the improvement of the “Big Dipper Falling” and the Spiritual Force.
He had reached the peak of the “Intermediate Mystery Energy Condensing Skill”, so it was not very helpful for the improvement of his Mystery Energy.
It would be better to close it, so as not to waste extra power.
In the blink of an eye, another five days had pa.s.sed.
Relying on the excessive function of “Baidu Map” and Lin Beichen"s crazy search where he didn"t even attend to his farting, he alone collected a total of 64 Star Badges.
This was a terrifying number.
That was because Ling Chen, the Daughter of Destiny, who was currently ranked first on the stone scoreboard, only found six in total.
Shen Fei, the young man from the gang, found two.
As for the two major teams of Tao Wancheng and Li Tao, they found one each.
No one else had gained anything.
However, Lin Beichen had stored all the 64 Star Badges in the “Baidu Netdisk” and did not hand in and register them.
Therefore, none of them knew about this secret.
On the surface, it seemed that the progress of the preliminary of this year"s students was extremely slow.
This progress shocked all the officials including Li Qingxuan at the campsite.
Li Qingxuan frowned and said, “This year"s students are not good. So far, only a few Star Badges have been excavated. If it goes on like this, I"m afraid that there won"t be 20 people on the list even in the end.”
“The low efficiency is a bit abnormal, and I always feel that something is not right.”
Li Luoran lowered his brows as he pondered.
“Maybe it"s because the examiners of the education department hid the badges too well?”
The captain of Cloudy Dream Guards, Chen Jian"nan, also sympathized with these students.
Time flew by.
Another day pa.s.sed.
After today, it would be the last day of the preliminary.
At noon, more than 20 students" names suddenly flashed quickly on the stone tablet in the training camp.
The stone tablet gave off an ear-piercing alarm sound.
“Hmm? What"s going on? So many students have been eliminated all of a sudden?”
Li Qingxuan, the general manager who had been paying attention to the stone tablet, rushed out of the room and his face changed. “And the locations displayed are extremely concentrated. Have they met large-size beasts? It shouldn"t be.”
The captain of Cloudy Dream Guards, Chen Jian"nan, did not dare to be negligent. He immediately dispatched elite soldiers to set off to rescue them.
It was an hour later.
The 36 students, including the top genius students Mu Yandong and Shao Yongning from the Royal National Junior College, were taken back to the camp by Cloudy Dream Guards, and all of them looked depressed.
Li Qingxuan asked, “What"s going on? What happened?”
Chen Jian"nan said with great sympathy, “These two small teams were attacked by people. There were so many of them, and they didn"t even see who the attacker was. In the end, without any resistance, they saw their tokens being crushed into pieces and they were kicked out the game pa.s.sively. On the scene, only a few scapegoats were left.”
Li Qingxuan glanced around. “Have you found the person who crushed your stone tokens?”
A young man, who looked thin and short, stood up and said, “Sir, I did it.”
Li Qingxuan"s eyes were fierce. “You crushed 36 people"s stone tokens by yourself?”
