Time flew by.
Unconsciously, the first semester of freshman year was nearing its end.
By the end of December, the weather turned cold.
That day, Lin Zichen didn’t go to the research institute and chose to refine his body in the dormitory.
When the clock struck 4 p.m.,
Body Refining ended.
Lin Zichen slowly opened his eyes, revealing a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Second-stage Body Refinement Completion!
Without the enhancement of Biometric Attributes, the strength of his body alone was comparable to an Advanced First-Rank strongman.
If including Biometric Attributes like Survival of the Fittest, Social Animal, and Rapid Self-Healing, Lin Zichen felt that his strength was at least at the level of Advanced Second Rank.
“Xiao Chen, I’ve achieved Body Tempering Great Accomplishment in one try!”
Shen Qinghan, who was nearby, suddenly shouted excitedly, her pretty face brimming with a joyful smile.
Lin Zichen looked at her with disbelief, finding it a bit too incredible.
How long had it been since she started practicing the Blood Tempering Technique?
Seemed to be less than three months?
And she had achieved Body Tempering Great Accomplishment already?
That’s too exaggerated…
Shocked for a good while, Lin Zichen steadied his emotions and happily said to Shen Qinghan:
“Your special physique is even more powerful than I imagined. As long as it’s related to water, or even slightly connected to it, you can demonstrate a talent far beyond that of ordinary people. You have a promising future.”
“This is all because I often wet my pants and was laughed at as a kid; it definitely has to be impressive,”
Shen Qinghan said with a laugh.
But as soon as she finished speaking, her brows furrowed slightly and she said, “Xiao Chen, didn’t you say that after first-stage Body Tempering Great Accomplishment, Biological Level would evolve to Ordinary Ninth Rank? Why am I only at Ordinary Sixth Rank?”
This question hit Lin Zichen’s blind spot.
He, Song Yuyan, and Liu Chuanwu, the three of them, had all evolved to Ordinary Ninth Rank after first-stage Body Tempering Great Accomplishment.
Because of these three examples, he had assumed that after first-stage Body Tempering Great Accomplishment, Biological Level would naturally evolve to Ordinary Ninth Rank, acquiring a powerful body.
But judging from Shen Qinghan’s condition, this law seemed to be wrong.
After thinking for a while, Lin Zichen pondered.
Soon, he thought of an answer.
He explained to Shen Qinghan, “I think I know what’s going on.”
“Normally, those who can practice the Blood Tempering Technique are people with extremely high Qi-Blood strength, which means they have a very high innate ability for body strength.”
“And those with higher physical talent achieve greater improvements through practicing the Blood Tempering Technique.”
“Conversely, those with lower physical talent gain less from practicing the Blood Tempering Technique.”
“In your case, you belong to the category with low physical talent. The reason why you could practice the Blood Tempering Technique and do it so well is entirely because of your strong blood control ability.”
“Simply put, your blood control ability is very strong, even stronger than mine, but since your Qi-Blood strength isn’t high enough, the strength of the body you’ve refined isn’t great.”
This explanation was logical and convincing.
Hearing this, Shen Qinghan felt somewhat downcast, “Based on what you’re saying, doesn’t that mean I’ll never be able to catch up with you?”
If someone with cheats like me gets caught up, what would that mean?
Lin Zichen comforted her, “It’s just that you’re slightly behind me in terms of physical strength. You can pursue other avenues, for instance, exploring your still mysterious superpower.”
“That’s true; I’m just being impatient,”
Shen Qinghan smiled sweetly, her mood improving significantly.
…
The next day.
Lin Zichen got up early and went to the research institute, which he hadn’t visited in quite some time, to delve deep into the research on activating Acupoints with Song Yuyan.
They researched all morning with no progress.
To be precise, there had been no progress from the time he joined Tianren Pavilion until now.
“How exactly do we activate these Acupoints?”
Song Yuyan was somewhat discouraged, her face filled with worry, as her enthusiasm for research had nearly plummeted to rock bottom.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Zichen then said, “Do you think it’s possible that one can only activate Acupoints after completing Body Refining five times?”
Song Yuyan shook her head, “Hopefully not. If it takes completing Body Refining five times to activate Acupoints, then the universality of the Blood Tempering Technique would be too poor to be widespread.”
Lin Zichen nodded, feeling that made sense.
After discussing the topic of activating Acupoints for a while, the two stopped and shifted to chatting about various gossips.
Mainly, Song Yuyan talked while Lin Zichen listened.
Discussions ranged from the shoddy private lives of certain leaders, though married, still sneaking around in the school with affairs, to those tutors who were so desperate for attention, they would doggedly bring gifts daily, no matter how much she refused them.
Lin Zichen was uninterested in these matters.
After listening politely for a while, he soon asked, “By the way, Sister Yan, how many school credits do I have stored with you now?”
He had performed all the high-ranking tasks outside the school with Song Yuyan.
Considering that he was publicly just a freshman and supposedly didn’t have the capacity to complete high-level tasks for a large number of credits, he had stored all the credits obtained after splitting them evenly with Song Yuyan in her instructor account.
“Haven’t you counted them yourself?” Song Yuyan asked, surprised.
“No.”
“Are you that trusting of me, not afraid I’d embezzle them?”
“Sister Yan, you’re not that kind of person.”
“Haha, thanks for your trust; it feels good to be trusted,”
Song Yuyan said with a charming smile, then added, “The credits you’ve stored on my instructor account now total up to 2,400.”
2,400 credits?
With Mandrill Mongoose Meat priced at 20 credits per kilogram, that ought to be enough for 99 kilograms to open up the catalog.
Thinking this, Lin Zichen said, “Sister Yan, I would like to buy 99 kilograms of Mandrill Mongoose Meat, could you please order it for me in the credit store and have it delivered to the research institute?”
“Why are you buying so much Mandrill Mongoose Meat?”
“It’s not very convenient to say.”
