Apology

Thunder Sovereign Visualization Method, sixth level of evolution.

Also known as Divine Transformation.

This stage doesn't have Manifestation-like shéntōng means, but it can use the spirit to deeply control and stimulate human cells, thereby achieving effects such as promoting stomach digestion, heart blood circulation, and liver and gallbladder detoxification. Through continuous conditioning, it allows the physical body to tend towards perfection and flawlessness.

In fact, martial arts can also have this ability in the later stages. Martial artists who reach this level are called Flawless True Immortals because their physical bodies are perfect, Hunyuan flawless, and longevity is not a problem.

However, the focus of the two is different, complementing each other and benefiting each other even more.

"It took me a month and a half to cultivate from the fourth level to the fifth level, but it took me half a year from the fifth level to the sixth level... According to this trend, wouldn't it take a year to cultivate to the seventh level? And the eighth level would take three years, the ninth level ten years, and the tenth level thirty years?"

Too slow.

Baili Qingfeng felt a little regretful in his heart.

His talent is still a bit lacking, and he doesn't have a good method. It would be great if he could have the same treatment as the protagonist, picking up a peerless divine skill when he goes out...

However...

The protagonist who picks up divine skills when going out often means that he comes with full-level taunt. Even those who are seriously injured and hospitalized will drag their seriously injured bodies from the hospital bed and run thousands of miles to him to provoke him to death after smelling his aura. At that time, all kinds of troubles and storms will inevitably be countless. He still prefers to live a peaceful life.

"The Thunder Sovereign Visualization Method has reached the sixth level, and can accurately control one's organs, muscles, and even cells..."

Baili Qingfeng tried to control his breathing.

The human chest and abdomen have intercostal muscles and diaphragm. When they expand, the volume of the lungs expands, causing the air pressure in the lungs to be less than the external atmospheric pressure. The external air pressure pushes the air into the lungs. The air in the lungs diffuses and exchanges gases with the blood, allowing the human body to inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide.

Then, the intercostal muscles and diaphragm contract, the lung volume shrinks, the air pressure inside the lungs increases, and the gas is discharged from the body, which is greater than the external air pressure.

A process of expansion and contraction completes a breathing cycle.

Now Baili Qingfeng is precisely controlling the expansion of his lungs, controlling his rib diaphragm and diaphragm, accurately stopping breathing, and then...

Almost suffocated!

"Huff! Huff!"

Baili Qingfeng released his control over his lungs, breathing continuously, his face a little red.

Although this attempt doesn't seem to have much meaning, it indirectly proves a problem...

People really can't suffocate themselves by holding their breath.

Lack of oxygen in the brain will lead to scattered thinking, and at that time, the instinct to survive will involuntarily cause the lungs to start breathing, inhaling air, so that the plan to suffocate oneself will die in the womb.

I just don't know if it is possible to achieve the level of suffocating suicide after using the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Art to break the human body's instinct.

The time of one night was spent in cultivation and learning.

The next day was Saturday.

A course on the colonial history of The Empire on Which the Sun Never Sets.

Baili Qingfeng glanced at it and skipped class without hesitation.

After tidying himself up slightly in front of the mirror, Baili Qingfeng carried his guqin, left the courtyard, and headed towards Shuiyun Yayun in the small alley not far from the school.

Just as Baili Qingfeng was about to reach the alley where Shuiyun Yayun was located, he saw three people walking out of a shop.

These three people...

Baili Qingfeng knew them all.

Gule, Gude, and Su Wei.

The three of them were visibly startled when they saw Baili Qingfeng, their faces turning slightly pale.

Baili Qingfeng politely nodded to Gule, who had been his roommate for over a year, and continued walking forward.

At this moment, Gule mustered his courage and stopped Baili Qingfeng.

"Qingfeng..."

"Something wrong?"

Baili Qingfeng asked calmly.

"I..."

Gule glanced at Baili Qingfeng with some fear: "I apologize to you. I, I shouldn't have spoken ill of you behind your back."

Beside him, Gude and Su Wei also came closer, shrinking back as they said, "Classmate Qingfeng, we were very offensive in our words the day before yesterday. We apologize to Classmate Qingfeng, and we hope Classmate Qingfeng won't take it to heart..."

As he spoke, Su Wei also handed over a small package: "This... this is a token of our apology... Please, Classmate Qingfeng, don't hold a grudge..."

His slightly trembling arms and haggard face were a far cry from the spirited demeanor he had when he pointed fingers at Baili Qingfeng the day before yesterday.

Baili Qingfeng looked at the two of them, and recalling the scene he had witnessed the night before yesterday, he vaguely guessed the reason why they were suppressing their fear to apologize to him. He wasn't afraid that these two would reveal that matter.

Because...

No one would believe it.

"What's past is past. It's just a small matter. I won't take it to heart."

Baili Qingfeng looked at the three of them with a calm expression. After a moment, considering that Gule was his roommate and that he was too impulsive, he earnestly said, "But you must understand in the future what words should be said and what words shouldn't be said. I am easy to talk to and won't fuss over such small matters, but that doesn't mean everyone is like that. I've encountered many bad people before. Their tempers explode at the slightest provocation. I was innocently pushed and blocked his way, and he wanted to beat me to death. If you encounter such a fierce person and still gossip behind their back, you might not even know how you died."

Gude and Su Wei, recalling the corpse they had seen at the abandoned construction site the day before yesterday, and hearing Baili Qingfeng's words, immediately thought that Baili Qingfeng was warning them not to spread the matter of that day, otherwise he would beat them to death. Their faces turned even paler, and their bodies couldn't help but tremble.

"Understood, understood. Classmate Qingfeng, don't worry, we will never say half a word about it."

"Yes, yes, yes, I swear to God, if I ever talk nonsense again, may I be struck by lightning and killed!"

The two hurriedly swore solemnly.

"That's good."

Baili Qingfeng nodded in satisfaction, seeing that the few of them had taken his words to heart.

He wanted to be a good student, upright and proper, and naturally hoped that the people around him could be as upright as him, not spreading rumors or gossiping.

"Classmate Qingfeng, please accept these apologies, otherwise we won't be able to sleep at night."

Seeing that Baili Qingfeng seemed about to leave, Su Wei quickly stepped forward and handed over the small package.

"Really, there's no need."

Baili Qingfeng pushed the small package back: "Although I am indeed very poor and have to go out to work-study, I really can't accept this three thousand yuan."

"But..."

"Let's just leave it at that."

Baili Qingfeng said, turning around and leaving.

"Didn't... didn't give it away..."

Su Wei watched Baili Qingfeng leave, his face still pale: "He, he wouldn't be holding a grudge and refuse to let us go, would he?"

Gule, who was beside him, gritted his teeth: "It shouldn't be that bad. I've known Baili Qingfeng for a year. He shouldn't be that petty..."

"You understand him after living with him for a year? Then can you believe that he would actually kill someone?"

"This..."

Gule didn't dare to speak.

For ordinary people like them, fighting was the limit, killing someone...

It was simply beyond their imagination.

"Three thousand is too little."

At this time, Gude suddenly said: "Baili Qingfeng doesn't care about this three thousand yuan at all. Add it, add it to ten thousand, and then let Gule deliver it. Gule, you have a dormitory friendship with him after all. For your sake, he should accept the money and let this matter pass."

"Ten thousand!?"

Su Wei shuddered: "I... where would I get ten thousand?"

"Then do you want to be beaten to death? Baili Qingfeng said he was so poor that he had to work-study, but he rejected your three thousand yuan. Isn't the meaning obvious enough? We'll each pay half of this ten thousand. Even if we eat steamed buns and serve dishes for the next year, we have to scrape it together!"

Gude said, letting out a long sigh: "Spending money to avoid disaster."

Su Wei nodded with a mournful face.

Who told him to stir up trouble for no reason? He kicked a steel plate this time.
