Genius Art Girl

It's like asking someone to play two racing games. Not only do they have to avoid crashing along the way, but they also have to make sure both cars reach the finish line at the same time. Without special training, most people simply can't do that.

After spending half an hour reading the manual, Si Ming couldn't help but rub the bridge of his nose with his fingers. He looked up at Yan Jinghong and said, "Master, this cultivation method is too difficult! The difficulty is simply unbelievable. Has anyone actually succeeded in cultivating it?"

He went to the bookstore and looked at the university's Internal Cultivation textbooks. Even the advanced Internal Cultivation methods only involved dividing the True Qi into six streams that advanced simultaneously, and then doing seven or eight hundred multiple-choice questions in a row.

However, the nameless manual in his hand required the cultivator to allocate eighty-one streams of True Qi to answer twelve thousand nine hundred and sixty multiple-choice questions!

If Yan Jinghong hadn't personally handed him this cultivation manual, he would have definitely thought the contents were fabricated and meant to cause cultivators to suffer Qi Deviation.

Yan Jinghong didn't answer, but instead asked, "Can you do it?"

Si Ming thought about it carefully for a moment and said, "There's nothing else wrong, but the first step is quite difficult. With my current skill level, if I were to divide my true True Qi into eighty-one streams, I'm afraid it would be completely exhausted after passing through only a few meridians. I need to replenish my energy during cultivation."

Yan Jinghong nodded, took out a dark-colored box, handed it to Si Ming, and said, "This contains radioactive metal."

One sentence startled Si Ming so much that he almost threw the box away.

"There's no need to worry. Solar energy is a form of radiative energy, only nuclear radiation is much stronger. You just need to run the 'Blazing Yang Battle Art' to store nuclear radiation as spiritual energy."

Si Ming was mainly frightened by the common sense he had learned in his previous life. In fact, if you think about it for a moment, you'll realize that everything in nature, as long as its temperature is above absolute zero, will constantly radiate outwards in the form of electromagnetic waves and particles.

From this perspective, true True Qi also has radiation, and the higher the level of Internal Cultivation, the stronger the radiation. The radiation of True Qi from a Nascent Spirit Transformation may not be weaker than the nuclear radiation of radioactive metals.

"Master, do you mean I should use nuclear radiation as an energy source to complete the cultivation of this mental technique?"

"That's right."

Si Ming felt he was drifting further and further away from the path of metaphysical martial arts practice. The fantasies he had about Internal Cultivation when reading martial arts novels had been stripped of their fairytale-like appearance, becoming increasingly "physical."

Despite his complaints, Si Ming was still very interested in this complex and almost torturous mental cultivation method. Although Internal Cultivation is not necessarily better the more complex it is, since it has so many intricacies, it must have some magical aspects.

With Yan Jinghong's protection, Si Ming opened the black box and placed it less than a meter away from himself. After cultivating day and night, the method of cultivating the Blazing Sun True Qi had almost become an instinct of his body. Without deliberate urging, as soon as he had a thought, his body would naturally start to operate and absorb nuclear radiation.

Instantly, a surge of energy rushed into his body. Unlike the gentle warmth of the sun, this energy was aggressive, extremely violent, rampaging and difficult to tame and absorb. It was like a boy who had lost eighteen games in a row in a competitive game and couldn't help but smash his keyboard on the spot.

Si Ming forcibly absorbed the radiation energy, only to feel an intense stinging pain in his acupoints, as if he were being pricked with needles. Moreover, each cell seemed to have its own will, no longer under the control of the nervous system, and was about to stage a rebellion against the body's rule.

Yan Jinghong reminded him, "Quickly circulate the newly learned cultivation technique."

Si Ming Fazhao, dividing the absorbed energy into eighty-one streams, which greatly weakened the resistance. Although he could still feel a faint stinging pain, he could bear it. Then, following the order in his memory, he guided the energy into the meridian circulation, constantly making choices.

Although the cultivation difficulty of this manual is nightmarish, Si Ming's martial arts talent is also beyond common sense. As long as it is a martial art that he can theoretically succeed in, he will definitely succeed in it, unless the theoretical possibility is zero.

For example, if a martial art requires at least Internal Cultivation Level Five, or if the minimum strength standard exceeds Si Ming's strength limit, then his martial arts talent will not be effective. But as long as there is even the slightest possibility, even if it is one in a billion, it will become one hundred percent in his case.

It took Si Ming a full three hours to complete a Lesser Celestial Circuit. He was drenched in sweat, and the moment he opened his eyes, he felt like he was about to faint from exhaustion. Fortunately, Yan Jinghong transferred his Qi in time to help him regulate his breathing and then reached out to close the black box.

After replenishing himself with plenty of water and food, Si Ming finally "came back to life," saying, "This is the first time I've encountered a situation where I get weaker the more I train; I almost didn't make it."

"But, after all, it was a success!"

A smile appeared on Yan Jinghong's face. Although he tried to suppress the strong joy in his heart, the sense of success that his long-term plan had finally come to fruition still made him beam with joy.

"What kind of Cultivation Method is this? Why don't I feel my Internal Cultivation getting stronger at all?" Si Ming couldn't help but ask.

"This isn't a cultivation method for Internal Cultivation, so of course your Internal Cultivation won't get stronger. Nowadays, people always associate Internal Cultivation with cultivation methods, which leads to confusion between the two concepts. A cultivation method that absorbs spiritual energy and converts it into Qi Essence is called Internal Cultivation, but besides that, there's also a cultivation method that absorbs spiritual energy and converts it into Jing Essence. Because it's relatively rare, no one has given it a special name."

"Isn't enhancing Jing Essence simply Body Refining Cultivation Method?"

"They're different. You can think of it this way: Body Refining Cultivation Method use external methods to enhance Jing Essence, while this mental Principle uses internal Jing Essence. You're currently in a weakened state, so you haven't felt any changes yet. Once you recover, you'll notice the improvement in your physical condition."

Si Ming nodded, seemingly understanding, and asked, "Does this mean I should switch to cultivating this mental technique from now on?"

"Practice once a day, don't push yourself too hard. Besides, it doesn't conflict with the 'Blazing Yang Battle Art,' so there's no question of 'changing your cultivation method.' You can cultivate both Jing Essence and Qi Essence at the same time."

Yan Jinghong handed the black box to Si Ming and instructed him, "Make sure there's no one else around when you're cultivating, otherwise you'll expose others to nuclear radiation. Keep at it until the end of this semester. I'll give you a task during the summer vacation."

"Master, could you tell me what the mission is?"

Yan Jinghong didn't elaborate, only saying, "Go to Deep Blue Plateau to meet someone for me. By the way, according to intelligence, Sunlight Beast roam Deep Blue Plateau. While you're at it, kill one and bring it back to Dr. Huang Gang."

"Sunlight Beast?" Si Ming was puzzled at first, then slapped his forehead, "My Mohist School Profound Armor! I've been so busy lately, I almost forgot about it!"

"Go back and rest first. I'll come see you again during summer vacation."

"Master, you're in such a hurry to leave again? Why don't you stay and rest for a few days? Even if you're working hard for the country, you don't have to be this busy, do you? A balance between work and rest is the right way," Si Ming hurriedly advised.

Yan Jinghong chuckled, shook her head, and was about to turn and leave when she suddenly remembered something. Si Ming, "I wrote my will a long time ago. After I die, all my wealth and savings will be donated to the country. My body will be left for the Mohist Academy of Science to perform an autopsy, and my remains will be made into Profound Armor —if I can leave with a complete body."

Upon hearing this, Si Ming gasped. The Curse power of these words was almost the same as "Go back to your hometown and get married after this war," "Tomorrow is my daughter's birthday," or "I don't want to be with the murderer."

"Master, are you alright? Or are you about to go on a very dangerous mission? I think we should have someone do a divination first to see if it's auspicious or inauspicious. Some things are better left unsaid, so please don't say them out loud!"

"I've been holding this in for too long, it feels better to say it out loud. I deeply love this country, this land, and the people who live on this land. I will do everything in my power to protect this country, this land, and these people... until death do us part."

Yan Jinghong patted Si Ming on the shoulder and said earnestly, "However, the future ultimately belongs to you young people... There are some things I've carried for too long, and now I can finally let go and breathe a sigh of relief. I hope you won't blame me for shirking responsibility in the future."

Si Ming felt the accusations of him setting a flag were getting stronger and stronger, so risking a scolding, he recklessly joked, "Master, I think the root cause is that you've been single for too long and have accumulated too much pressure. I suggest you find a mistress as soon as possible."

Yan Jinghong smiled and said, "If fate allows, it will."

After saying that, he turned and left, his steps becoming light and unsteady.

Si Ming scratched the back of his head, full of doubt. "He's not even scolding me, there's definitely something wrong. Could something big be about to happen?"
