12 Decryption! Nine Stages of Inner Qi!

Student Su Qiangwei, sitting in front of Ma Ran, was the second to raise her hand to ask, "Can the information on the inscription be copied using photography or painting?"

"One person's plan is short, but many people's plans are long."

"If we all ponder it together, shouldn't we be able to research results faster?"

"If I remember correctly, under normal circumstances, electromagnetic waves do not affect camera focus."

"Which kind of electromagnetic wave are you referring to just now?"

"Radio waves? Microwaves? Visible light waves? Infrared? Ultraviolet? Gamma rays?" Radiation is actually a neutral term; only the radiation from a few substances can cause harm to the human body.

In recent years, it has been demonized as humanity's ultimate weapon, which is why people fear it like a tiger.

So Su Qiangwei didn't have anything to ask about radiation.

Old Master Huang remained as serene and composed as ever.

He seemed to have anticipated this question and had prepared an answer in advance: "It is an electromagnetic wave that has never been seen before. With humanity's current technological means, its origin cannot be analyzed for the time being."

"We will tentatively name it 'Type A Radiation'."

"Due to the influence of Type A Radiation, any video recording or photography equipment cannot function on this alien inscription, and all images related to this stone tablet cannot be saved."

"We have made too many attempts in this regard, and for now, we have no leads."

Speaking of which, he looked at Wan Haihao, who was sitting to Ma Ran's right: "Last night, a student consulted me on some related questions, so I will simply explain it to everyone here."

"To comprehend the supernatural power on this inscription has nothing to do with knowledge accumulation; it is only related to Academic Power."

"Of course, if you want to call it Comprehension, it's the same thing."

This style of wording was quite fantastical and not very realistic, but it perfectly suited the tastes of the teenagers present.

Mentioning Comprehension got everyone excited.

What Chinese person doesn't have a wuxia dream in their heart?

Even middle-aged people burdened by life have the dream of becoming a great hero to some extent.

The young people present, upon hearing this, looked at the black rock tablet with shining eyes.

Every member was confident, believing that they would not lose to anyone, especially in terms of Comprehension!

"Besides you young folks, the relatively young postgraduate and doctoral students in the country, under 30 years old, have all put down their work and experiments and have been brought to various academic societies to do similar things as you."

President Huang clapped his hands, drawing the attention of the new members away from the black rock tablet: "Also, I must remind you of something here."

"Everyone's body is different!"

"Therefore, the calculated Inner Qi cultivation route is only suitable for oneself and is unique. Never think of passing it on to others."

"That would be harming them!"

"Do you understand?"

The members all indicated that they had taken his words to heart.

It was actually easy to understand.

There were no two identical leaves in the world, and naturally, there were no two completely identical people.

Even identical twins had vastly different coordinates for the acupoints that could be opened in their bodies.

Forcing oneself to follow someone else's experience, let alone cultivating Inner Qi, would be considered incredibly lucky if one didn't end up with serious injuries!

President Huang's voice, seemingly affected by the black rock tablet, was not as loud as before, but it was still full of confidence, showing good physical strength: "The information that can be disclosed now is as follows..."

"Inner Qi martial arts are divided into stages one through six from low to high, based on the number of acupoints opened and filled."

"The mysteries beyond the sixth stage have not yet been deciphered."

"However, our researchers speculate that Inner Qi is divided into a total of nine realms."

Ma Ran, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his hand.

President Huang Weiguo looked as if he had more to say, clearly having prepared his homework and waiting for someone to ask questions: "Please, student."

Ma Ran spoke in a calm, unhurried tone: "For Inner Qi at the sixth stage, what is the punching power in kilograms?"

"What is the straight-line sprint speed in meters per second?"

"Will reaction speed also improve?"

"Will bone, muscle, and skin density continuously increase with Inner Qi cultivation? If so, will Inner Qi practitioners become like ducks that sink when they enter water?"

Seeing Ma Ran seemingly intending to continue asking, President Huang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, finding himself in a bind.

It seemed...

No one had actually given him these figures.

Damn it!

What were those researchers eating for?

Comrade Old Huang looked at Ma Ran, feeling a prickling sensation on his scalp.

"This student's question is excellent, but unfortunately, our research into martial arts has only just begun, and much of the data is still missing."

He adjusted the frame of his glasses and gave an awkward smile. "I can give you a general overview, though."

"With the enhancement of inner energy, your endurance, strength, agility, and even your resistance to damage can be greatly improved."

"It's a comprehensive enhancement, even pushing beyond the limits of human capability!"

At this point, President Huang Weiguo habitually launched into his motivational speech. "You'll all be able to easily break every record in the Olympic Games in the future."

"I can reveal some information here..."

"The strongest inner energy cultivator right now is a member of the Green Lotus Academic Society."

"He's currently only at the second stage of inner energy."

"Which means..."

"If you work hard, you might just surpass your predecessors and become the strongest humans on Earth!"

Seeing the members' emotions gradually becoming more excited, Huang Weiguo's face took on the expression of an old farmer. "The conditions are a bit tough right now, so please bear with it for a while."

"Twenty-four people per group, line up in order. Each group gets one hour, and we'll do three rotations."

"We don't have much time left. Lunch is around one o'clock, followed by a two-hour nap. From three to five in the afternoon, there's a ideological education class, which is also like a break for you all."

"After all, deciphering inscriptions like this consumes a lot of energy. If you push too hard, you'll easily get nervous breakdowns."

"Haste makes waste, so don't rush."

"From the information we've gathered from other academic societies, it takes an average of one day to calculate the location of a single acupoint."

"So, there's no need to rush even if it takes longer."

"Some people take three days to figure out one acupoint."

This statement wasn't entirely accurate.

The "average of one day to calculate the location of an acupoint" used data samples from top students and Gods of Scholars.

Moreover, considering the maximum load on the brain and spirit, the "one day" he mentioned was actually equivalent to "three hours."

These things didn't need to be explained too clearly.

Once the members experienced it firsthand, they would naturally understand.

After saying this, Old Huang walked out of the lecture hall. Five young men in military uniforms took over, responsible for maintaining order at the scene.

Dong Huaiming was assigned to a group.

"Ran Ge, I'm going up first!"

"Wait for my good news!"

After greeting Ma Ran, he walked up to the black rock inscription with a smile, carrying a small stool, and began trying to decipher the patterns.

Three minutes later.

Student Xiao Ming's smile had completely vanished.
