As the energy entered his body and touched the boiling Qi blood, it was like sparks igniting gasoline; Jack Clark felt as if his entire body was set ablaze.
Of course, it was only a metaphor, not that he was literally on fire.
As strands of extraordinary energy were absorbed into his body, Jack’s burning Qi blood became even more vigorous, and at the same time, it circulated throughout his body.
Under the influence of the extraordinary energy, the nature of his blood Qi underwent some special changes. As it circulated through his body, his muscles and bones were greatly strengthened.
This strengthening included the five viscera and six bowels, fascia, and nerves.
This feeling was somewhat similar to the previous improvement during the Avatar Evolution, which involved a comprehensive enhancement of physical fitness and a significant improvement in all aspects under the effect of extraordinary energy.
Every minute, Jack’s body became stronger and stronger.
This situation made him cultivate even harder, using his Spirit Power to frantically guide the extraordinary energy into his body.action
If the boiling Qi blood cultivated by the Body Casting Skill was the foundation for igniting the extraordinary energy,
Then the strength of the Spirit Power cultivated by Meditation determined how much extraordinary energy could be guided within one minute and how long one could persist.
Both were indispensable.
The person who could think of and create such a Foundation Cultivation Method was simply a genius.
As Jack began the Foundation Establishment, many classmates in the classroom looked at the empty seat where he usually sat.
Next to him, a short-haired female student said enviously, “I think Jack hasn’t come yet because he has already broken through and went to Teacher Parma for the Foundation Establishment.”
“I don’t think so,” another male student shook his head.
“I remember that when Jack first practiced the Body Casting Skill, it took him almost fifty minutes to complete a cycle, while most other students needed just twenty to thirty minutes.”
“His talent is among the worst in the class; how is it possible for him to establish the foundation faster than us?”
“No, I think he must have broken through.”
“Although his first Qi Blood transfer was slow, I noticed that his progress in subsequent cultivation classes improved rapidly, and he was already able to transfer eight cycles with ease yesterday.”
“I also think he has broken through.”
“I envy him. I’m only at the seventh stage now, and I can only transfer six cycles within half an hour. I don’t know when I’ll be able to break through.”
“You’re better than me. I can only transfer five cycles at a time. Any more, and I feel dizzy and exhausted.”
“You’re only at the fifth stage after half a month? You have no hope. I advise you to choose cultural studies instead.”
“Woo!! I’m only at the fourth stage, what should I do…”
…
The Foundation Establishment state persisted for a long time; Jack only slowly ended his practice when his Spirit Power was exhausted to the point that he could no longer guide external energy into his body.
Whew!
Jack took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and the exhaustion and excitement in his gaze were evident.
The exhaustion was due to the excessive mental exertion, while the excitement stemmed from the rewards gained from this period of cultivation.
With the successful Foundation Establishment, Jack could now clearly feel the boiling Qi blood in his body, making him feel full of strength and as if he could punch through a wall with one fist.
Of course, this feeling was due to the illusion created by the sudden and massive improvement in his physique.
Suppressing his excitement, Jack summoned his attribute page with a thought and immediately saw Physique 21, Strength 20, Agility 19, and Spirit 24.
All four major attributes had increased by 9 points, which was twice that of ordinary people.
Moreover, Jack vaguely felt that not only his physique had improved significantly during this Foundation Establishment, but there seemed to be some other indescribable changes in his body as well.
Lost in thought, Jack opened the door.
Seeing the handsome youth walking out, Lori Parma nodded in satisfaction: “Good, a Foundation Establishment in two hours; this result is already considered above average.””It seems like you’ve gained a lot. Let’s go and choose your own True Martial Arts.”
“Yes, Teacher.” Jack Clark followed excitedly.
Foundation Establishment success is only the beginning, the real journey into cultivation starts now.
Following Lori Parma, the two took the elevator all the way to the 33rd-floor rooftop. The place was like a large library, filled with bookshelves and paper books.
Just as Jack Clark thought that those books were the True Martial Secret Scripts, Lori Parma led him to another area similar to the internet cafe private room area.
“Each room has a computer. After you enter your Student ID and pass the face recognition, you can browse the Cultivation Methods within your permission range after your basic data is inputted.”
“Remember, the school divides new students’ initial permissions into three days, one week, two weeks, one month.”
“Since you’ve broken through Foundation Establishment within a half month, you’re eligible to learn two low-level martial arts. Once you’ve chosen your Cultivation Methods, you cannot change them, so choose carefully.”
“If you want to learn higher-level or other Cultivation Methods in the future, you need to exchange Contribution Points. There’s an explanation on the computer about what Contribution Points are.”
“By the way, those books outside are some Daoist and Buddhist scriptures, introductions to the various allied countries, and some information about Mutated Beasts and cultivators. It wouldn’t hurt to read more during your cultivation breaks.”
“Alright. I’m going to find someone to drink tea with. You go ahead.”
Having explained this to Jack Clark, Lori Parma entered an office nearby where a middle-aged man was watering flowers and plants on the balcony.
Jack Clark found an empty room and locked the door behind him. He sat down on the sofa in front of the computer and began inputting his student number.
“Beep! Student ID 2055…967… Begin facial recognition…”
Accompanied by the intelligent voice, a faint red light shot out from the webcam on the monitor and scanned Jack Clark’s face.
“Verification passed, welcome to the Heavenly Intelligence System. Now for data entry, please follow the instructions to test your data on the nearby Tester.”
“Please begin with the first test, arm strength.”
“Data testing, huh.” Jack Clark got up and came to the arm strength machine, grabbed the rings on both sides, took a deep breath, and his upper body muscles burst with power.
“Arm strength 102 kg, data uploaded, please begin fist strength test.”
Punch!
“Fist strength 210 kg, data uploaded, please begin kick strength test.”
Boom!
“Kick strength 290 kg, data testing complete.”
“Your basic data has reached the entry standard for First Level Heaven, and you are eligible to receive Contribution Points. Currently, you can receive 3 Contribution Points every month.”
“Now, please have the student choose True Martial Arts.”
With that said, a browsing option for Cultivation Methods appeared on the computer.
However, Jack Clark did not immediately choose a Cultivation Method but stood there, recalling the feeling of his power burst just now.
Arm strength of 100 kg, fist strength of 200 kg, and full-strength kicking power approaching 300 kg. If such power were to fall on an ordinary person, it would be enough to kill with a single kick.
This power is only the entrance to the True Martial Arts, a cultivation system worthy of slowly suppressing the technological civilization.
Feeling a sense of wonder, Jack Clark sat back down in front of the computer, clicked Browse, and more than fifty Cultivation Method names appeared on the monitor.
Each Cultivation Method could be viewed in detail when clicked on.
“Bright Moon Formula, primarily Defense, secondary Burst, after cultivation, the body surface becomes as hard as jade, upon grand accomplishment can withstand submachine gun and rifle bullets.”
“Light Sword Art, after cultivation, the sword light is swift and agile…”
“Explosive Bear Fighting Body, focuses on strength, secondary Defense, after cultivation, abundant Qi Blood, incredible strength, few can compare in the same grade Cultivation Methods.”
“Ghost Shadow Leg, focuses on speed, secondary Burst, after cultivation, speed is astonishingly swift, like a ghost upon grand accomplishment, and immune to infrared detection.”
“Dragon Elephant Power, focuses on strength…”
