"What's wrong?"

Seeing the sudden look of surprise on Zhou Zhe's face, Director Huang was a bit confused. "Did you run into a problem?"

"Nothing, I just had a sudden realization and made a breakthrough in my cultivation."

Zhou Zhe smiled and shook the other man's hand. "I'll redeem suitable teaching materials as soon as possible to assist with the teaching."

"Also, my special mission requires your help and support, as you know."

"We can discuss the details in a few days!"

"I need to prepare my lesson plans first and raise my own strength level a bit more."

"Otherwise, it wouldn't be appropriate for me, as a teacher, to have such weak strength."

Hearing this, Huang Tiankai glanced meaningfully at the black sword-and-shield brand on the back of Zhou Zhe's hand.

"You're too modest."

"A Black Iron Four-Star Gladiator is definitely worthy of the title 'strong person' on Earth today!"

As he spoke, Huang Tiankai handed Zhou Zhe a walkie-talkie. "Anytime you encounter any trouble, you can come directly to me!"

"If I can't solve a problem, the higher-ups will have a way to handle it!"

"Remember, China will always be your support!"

The people from the Supernatural Affairs Department had a strong military bearing and acted swiftly. After confirming their cooperative relationship, they left the Swift Wind Pavilion to arrange suitable candidates to be Zhou Zhe's apprentices.

Zhou Zhe also began to analyze the suitable redemption options he had spent half the day finding.

[Elementary Planar Cryptography: Decrypt planar codes, anchor cosmic coordinates, and discover treasures in new worlds! An essential skill for Phase Explorers! — Redemption requires 25 Gladiator Points. (Note: The introductory difficulty of this subject is extremely high. Please objectively assess your own intelligence level before deciding to redeem it.)]

"Twenty-five points…"

Zhou Zhe felt his teeth itch. "That's too expensive!"

The other books only cost 1 point.

However, when he thought about it carefully, you get what you pay for. If he could truly master this book, it would be equivalent to opening a new instance on Earth!

The current Earth had just entered the extraordinary era, with everything in a state of disrepair and many aspects lacking.

To blaze a trail into the unknown.

If there was no path ahead, he would forge his own!

"Consume Gladiator Points, confirm redemption!"

Zhou Zhe gritted his teeth and decided to redeem the book.

He was quite confident in the [Absolute Comprehension] talent granted by the mysterious notebook.

The 25 Gladiator Points were spent like flowing water.

Zhou Zhe's personal stash was left with only 25 points.

Swish!

A "special brick," 30 cm long, 23 cm wide, and 40 cm thick, tore through the void and landed on the table.

Thud!

A dull thud.

The tabletop was dented.

"…"

Although he had been mentally prepared, Zhou Zhe's eyes still twitched involuntarily when he saw this copy of Elementary Planar Cryptography.

What was a 40 cm thick book?

Let's find a reference.

China's eighth edition of "Internal Medicine," which made countless medical students want to vomit, was only 3.9 cm thick.

Compared to Elementary Planar Cryptography, it was practically a little brother!

Zhou Zhe picked up the book and weighed it slightly.

The pages were made of some unknown material, and the entire book weighed at least three hundred pounds…

He felt like throwing up, what should he do?

Zhou Zhe took a deep breath.

He had to take responsibility for his own actions!

He had spent a lot of money on this book, so he had to finish it even if he had to cry!

Opening the title page, Zhou Zhe nodded slightly.

It was worth the money and the service was good. At least it wasn't filled with incomprehensible alien text; it had all been translated into simplified Chinese.

Starting from scratch with a subject he had never heard of was a bit difficult.

But [Absolute Comprehension] was truly amazing!

Zhou Zhe flipped through three pages and didn't find anything he couldn't understand. He could grasp it all and remember it all!

"If I had this talent during my student days, even if I couldn't become a 'study demon,' I would at least be a 'study god' level existence!"

Zhou Zhe became more and more surprised and gained a lot as he read Elementary Planar Cryptography.

By analogy, the Heart of Heavenly Tribulation in his chest leaped more energetically.

The wind elemental power that had accumulated in his body was completely depleted, and the Heart of Heavenly Tribulation transformed it into a higher-level power—the power of Qianfeng Tribulation Lightning.

If the energy intensity of wind element was 1, then the energy intensity of Qianfeng Tribulation Lightning was equivalent to 13!

In simple terms, Zhou Zhe's total mana pool didn't change much, but...

A skill that originally required 13 mana points to cast now only needed 1 mana point to be sufficient!

Moreover, the practical combat effect would be even better!

Besides the dry knowledge of planar cryptography, this book also recorded some interesting short stories.

The content from the sixth to the thirty-fifth line of the third page, omitting the protagonist's romantic plot, can be summarized as follows:

[Violet Tate, a Phase Explorer, Star Arcanist, and Master of the Flower Patch, born in a low-magic world, discovered a certain high-martial world and directly crossed over without sufficient preparation.

Due to the low concentration of magic power in his body, it was diluted and assimilated by the "heaven and earth vital energy" in the air. Unfortunately, he dropped nine levels, from a Sun-level Great Wizard directly to a Wizard Apprentice level. Mr. Tate, finding himself in a dangerous situation, relied on his silver tongue to get close to the Empress of the Martial Dynasty and survived the most difficult period.]

From this short story, it can be seen that higher-level energy has a suppressive and assimilative absorption effect on lower-level energy.

13 times the energy intensity!

This certainly doesn't mean that Zhou Zhe's combat power is 13 times what it was before.

The human body is a container, and the amount of extraordinary energy it can hold is limited.

Under normal circumstances, after accumulating energy to its fullest, one would begin to compress and sublimate, entering another level.

However, Zhou Zhe took a shortcut and directly possessed high-quality Qianfeng Tribulation Lightning power.

"I've gotten stronger again..."

"Comfortable!"

Zhou Zhe glanced at the brand on the back of his hand. It was still Black Iron Four-Star, with no change.

However, the improvement in strength was real.

The Gladiator rank is just a reference.

After all, the Gladiator rating also takes into account factors like fame and Gladiator Points consumed, and is not an absolute assessment of strength.

Hidden trump cards and ultimate moves are not included; only normal combat strength is considered.

Otherwise, what would be the point of watching gladiatorial combat?

Wouldn't it be simpler for everyone to just compare their levels and commit suicide if they were lower?

His ears twitched slightly. Zhou Zhe put down Elementary Planar Cryptography and stood up.

Zhang Miaoran and her best friend, Shanshan, had arrived.

The girl he admired was still in a gray dress, without any makeup, looking clean and refreshing, yet still breathtakingly beautiful.

As for her best friend Shanshan...

She had a standard "internet celebrity" face, with superb makeup skills and was very good at dressing up.

Upon arriving at the office, Zhang Miaoran looked at Zhou Zhe, then at her beautiful best friend beside him. A sense of inferiority arose, and she suddenly felt a pang of jealousy. "A Zhe, does Shanshan look good?"

Zhou Zhe was confused by the question.

Weren't they here to seek apprenticeship?

Why ask this?

He had only glanced at her once!

In fact, as soon as the words left her mouth, Zhang Miaoran regretted it.

Boys generally dislike girls who are jealous, right?

She and Zhou Zhe hadn't even confirmed their relationship yet, so what right did she have to be jealous!

However...

Zhou Zhe's reply instantly stunned Zhang Miaoran and her best friend.

"She's alright!"

"Speaking of looks, you fit my aesthetic more."

"Miaoran, you are gentle, elegant, beautiful, and generous. You look good and don't even need makeup."

"A pure, natural little fairy!"

???

Seeing Zhang Miaoran's ears start to turn red, Zhou Zhe felt a surge of joy in his heart.

Thanks to Violet Tate, the Phase Explorer, Star Arcanist, and Master of the Flower Patch!

Thanks to Elementary Planar Cryptography!

This money was well spent!
