A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 55: The 2nd Scholar Secret Technique (Request for Recommendation Tickets)

Chapter 55: Chapter 55: The 2nd Scholar Secret Technique (Request for Recommendation Tickets)

Inside the martial arts training room.

Lin Shan was drenched in sweat, her cheeks flushed red, her fair chest heaving up and down as she panted heavily.

Baiyu lay in the corner, exhausted.

"Are you still not firing back? Kid, it’s been a while since you got such a satisfying thrashing, hasn’t it?"

Lin Shan clapped her hands with pride, a long-lost smile appearing on her face.

Though she was also dead tired, she had managed to give Baiyu a proper lesson.

This bastard seems to have a natural talent for taunting people; after spending only a short time with him, he always managed to infuriate me, even bringing out my artillery.

"It’s very satisfying; my Blood Qi is finally depleted. I’m in pain yet enjoying it."

A martial artist’s Blood Qi is not constant.

Using Spirit Technique, fighting, exercising—these all cause Blood Qi consumption. The so-called mechanical test value of Blood Qi is just an approximate peak value.

What a martial artist must do is continuously increase this peak value.

He picked up the Blood Coagulation Pill and swallowed it.

The medicinal pill entered with a slight bitterness as it went down his throat.

Soon after.

A sensation of fiery fullness erupted in his stomach.

Baiyu’s skin became hot, his cheeks flushed, and his Blood Qi surged upward at that moment.

Lin Shan kept a constant watch on his changes.

If anything went awry, she would be the first to step in and rescue him.

It surged like this for more than ten minutes.

Baiyu felt his limbs filled with surging Blood Qi, his body on the verge of bursting apart.

The effect of the Blood Coagulation Pill was unexpectedly powerful.

For a moment.

The influx of Blood Qi suddenly subsided like the receding tide, slowly stabilizing, with Baiyu’s entire arm and face scorching hot, like a cooked shrimp.

"Phew, I made it through."

Lin Shan sighed in relief.

Though the Blood Coagulation Pill is a legitimate company product, it’s still quite dangerous.

A little carelessness could harm the body.

Of course.

Baiyu dared to take it, naturally having made precise calculations of his endurance and Blood Qi.

A cautious man won’t get hurt.

With Blood Qi at its peak, Baiyu went to the Qi testing machine nearby to check.

It was like a bike.

More accurate than the punching tester at Qin Shou’s house.

"One hundred and sixty kai; sure enough, it’s already reached the limit."

The test results were as expected. Next, he aimed to break through the 160 kai peak.

Reaching one hundred and sixty kai of Blood Qi absolutely ranks at the top in Linjiang First Middle School.

But top students from other schools, like Lan Ziyue and Xiang Le, should also be around one hundred and sixty kai.

Previously, Baiyu had focused entirely on cultural studies, lagging in Blood Qi training.

Not steady enough.

One hundred and sixty kai still left the possibility of being surpassed.

Baiyu pondered for a moment, then picked up the "Meridian Opening Technique" beside him and began memorizing the general outline.

"Baiyu, are you sure you can continue studying?

You’ve only increased your Blood Qi by nearly ten points; now would be a good time to rest.

Lack of focus while studying can easily lead to daydreaming, causing mental pollution."

Lin Shan looked incredulous.

Baiyu shook his head: "No worries, my Spirit has always been normal. But it’s you, it seems your pollution level is around twenty points; you should see a psychologist."

"Forget it, I’m just worrying needlessly."

Lin Shan recalled Baiyu couldn’t be judged by common sense and stopped insisting.

Today’s sparring task was nearly done.

After sparring with him for so long, she didn’t feel tired; instead, she felt completely relaxed.

Even those negative emotions lingering in her heart significantly dissipated.

Though it was strange.

It was good news for her.

The accumulation of negative emotions and excessive mental fatigue would affect her state.

"Baiyu, I’m heading back now. I’m off tomorrow, so I can spar with you for a few days in a row."

Lin Shan had tasted the benefit and spoke with some eagerness, thick-skinned.

Being able to reduce the negative emotions in her heart, relieve stress, and maintain mental health—such tremendous benefits were irresistible.

Not only irresistible.

But wanting to increase the intensity.

"Uh, don’t you have to work?" Baiyu looked up, surprised.

"As long as no extraordinary events occur in the East District, my free time is ample. You’re not willing?"

"No, I happen to need someone to temper my Blood Qi."

"Then it’s settled. Don’t get too excited early; my sparring can be intense, so don’t wimp out."

Lin Shan’s eyes curved with happiness as she turned to leave.

Baiyu took the opportunity to toss another purification at her.

Eek!

Outside, a feeling of comfort and pleasantness from the earlier spar filled Lin Shan again.

The negative emotions pent up in her heart were once again dissolved.

That warmth spreading through her limbs made her let out a soft noise of satisfaction.

She turned around.

Seeing Baiyu’s stifled laughter, her face reddened to her neck.

Something fishy was definitely going on here.

But this feeling was entirely captivating.

"I’m off, see you tomorrow." Lin Shan fled with a flushed face.

"Heh, women."

Baiyu lowered his head and continued reading the detailed cultivation methods of the Meridian Opening Technique.

The five major meridians have no set sequence.

Two for the hands, two for the legs, one for the torso.

You can open any Qi Vein first, but the effects differ according to the location.

For example, opening the Qi Vein in the arm first might grant you the Qilin Arm for a long time; opening the Qi Vein in the leg might help you develop the Celestial Deformed Leg or Shadowless Kick.

The Qi Vein in the torso coordinates the entire body and is usually the last to open.

Of course, some oddballs open the torso first.

Such cases fall under human confusion behavior and are not discussed.

"The Qilin Arm is indeed tempting, but from a cautious standpoint, opening the Qi Vein in the leg first seems better. Even if you can’t beat the enemy, you can at least run faster."

Baiyu decided on his cultivation path.

He didn’t rush to start training but picked up the Extraordinary Biology textbook beside him and memorized its contents.

Hours passed.

The mechanical notification sound of the Scholar Space rang out.

[Congratulations to the host, your Extraordinary Biology Discipline has reached full experience, upgrading to LV1!]

[Upgrade reward: Extraordinary Biology aptitude upgraded to LV1, slightly increasing resistance against mental pollution caused by mysterious and supernatural life forms!]

Here it comes.

Finally leveled up.

"Back then, when learning from Dong Chunsheng’s course, the Magic Energy already upgraded to LV1; it wasn’t convenient to claim the subsequent rewards at school, so I’ll check it all together now.

Extraordinary Biology doesn’t offer Scholar Secret Techniques as a reward; I wonder if Magic Energy does."

Baiyu’s consciousness entered the Scholar Space.

First was the curriculum knowledge tree, which had changed greatly compared to before.

The branches of Magic Energy and Extraordinary Biology both had reached the LV1 level.

He first looked towards the notification panel on the task wall beside him.

[Congratulations to the host, your Magic Kinetic Energy Discipline has reached full experience, upgrading to LV1!]

[Upgrade reward: Magic Kinetic Energy talent upgraded to LV1, slightly increasing sensitivity to magic energy mechanicals, with a random reward of one Scholar Secret Technique for the Magic Energy category!]

Baiyu immediately perked up.

The second Scholar Secret Technique was coming!
