Qi Rou led the group to their temporary residence, which was actually a large dormitory where all ten teenagers lived. After arriving at their destination, Niu Dingtian couldn't resist starting to exercise.

He spent a day and a night on the bird's back, and only managed to complete 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, and 100 squats, but failed to complete the 10km run, which significantly reduced his daily task.

After confirming his accommodation, Niu Dingtian started going for a run. As he continued to exercise, he wiped the sweat from his head and found that he had lost quite a bit of hair, but he gradually stopped caring about it.

As the second round of training ended, Niu Dingtian heard a crisp sound, "Ding, system update complete. The main quest to join Great Cloud Mountain Academy has been completed, rewards have been issued, and subsequent quests are now available."

"The next task will take place during the entrance exam. Please prepare accordingly."

Then Niu Dingtian felt a large amount of information being transmitted to him. This information contained a lot of martial arts techniques, such as how to punch to maximize power, how to run to maximize speed, and various insights, such as how to utilize physical strength and draw on the power of the air, the earth, and even the sky.

After acquiring this knowledge, Niu Dingtian felt that he could use it instinctively, as if those skills were rooted deep in his body. In fact, that was the case. So-called habit is muscle memory plus Solidification thinking, and both of these are forms of information, but much more powerful and profound than surface information.

After obtaining Hu Wenxu's research materials, Lu Li's research on information was like a breakthrough, and he suddenly became much more in-depth. By deeply modifying the information into Niu Dingtian's muscle memory and mental memory, he enabled Niu Dingtian to learn the corresponding skills in an instant.

If Lu Li's research on information and other things advances further in the future, he might be able to directly modify the target's human genetic information, or even deeper information. At that time, as long as an ordinary person has the corresponding information and the existence of factors and energy, Lu Li could instantly strengthen them into an unparalleled master.

However, the claim of being a peerless master is highly questionable, since consciousness is difficult to create. Unless Lu Li can even directly modify consciousness information later on, then Lu Li at that time will have actually obtained most of the creator's authority.

Let's hold off on these wonderful visions of the future and focus our attention on Niu Dingtian. The influx of information has caused a certain change in Niu Dingtian's thinking. He is now paying more attention to the changes in the surrounding world, which makes him seem somewhat dazed, or rather, naive.

The influx of muscle memory allowed Niu Dingtian to become accustomed to various ways of exerting force. Combined with the corresponding thought process, he was able to unleash superhuman attacks with an ordinary human body. Of course, there was also a small side effect: his pores habitually contracted, completely changing his breathing pattern and instantly increasing the skin's defenses. However, all the hair on his skin also fell out.

Niu Dingtian dazedly touched the top of his head, and a large clump of hair fell out. His scalp was shiny and glossy because the pores were taut.

Niu Dingtian stared blankly at the world around him. It was the first time he had ever seen a world so vibrant and colorful. Niu Dingtian strode back to his temporary dormitory, ignoring the strange looks from his companions, and began to work on Integration the materials.

In the past, it would take Niu Dingtian several days to Integration a piece of material with his profound energy before it could be completely melted. But this time was different. As soon as his profound energy entered the material, he instantly understood all kinds of information and absorbed it into the internal energy crystal within his body with effortless effort.

Then Niu Dingtian took out another piece of material. Fortunately, the other teenagers were about to go out for breakfast. Niu Han asked Niu Dingtian if he wanted to go, but after receiving a blank shake of his head from Niu Dingtian, he pursed his lips and left.

Suddenly, only Niu Dingtian remained in the dormitory. He then melted all the materials for the remaining two abilities at a rate of one piece of material every seven or eight seconds before everyone else returned. After that, he began to cultivate his abilities.

Similarly, compared to the several days that the Shadow Ooze would take, the remaining two abilities were completed quickly. When Niu Dingtian opened his eyes, his roommates had already finished dinner and returned.

"Huh, I've been cultivating for a whole day?" Niu Dingtian said, somewhat bewildered. It was the first time he had ever felt that cultivation was so simple. Once his mindset was changed and he started to look at things from multiple perspectives, everything became incredibly simple.

"Yeah, did you go crazy from practicing? You shaved your head bald, and you skipped breakfast, but you were still forcing your eyes to cultivate while we were having lunch. Now we've all finished dinner. But speaking of which, the food at Great Cloud Mountain is pretty good," Niu Han complained from the side.

"Oh, I'm hungry." Niu Dingtian nodded, got up, and followed the smell of food to the cafeteria, leaving his other friends looking at each other in bewilderment.

In the canteen, Niu Dingtian ordered a large pot of rice and ate it spoonful by spoonful under the horrified gazes of those around him. He was starving after completing a large amount of cultivation when suddenly he heard a hoarse shout, "Is this food for humans?"

"My baby is always eating the finest delicacies at home, and you actually let him eat this stuff." It was Lin Shan's sister from today, and there was a bowl of spilled food in front of the little brat.

"We can't even afford to cook our own food at the academy, but the food you provide is so terrible! Clean this up, give us a private room, and then get us some decent food." Time really changes a person so easily. The poor little girl from back then could be happy all day with just a stinky steamed bun, but now she's become like this.

"All the food is exactly the same, even our teachers eat here. The dean said before that your enrollment is no different from other students, so we won't provide any special treatment. Either eat here or leave," a teacher said directly, with a half-eaten bowl of rice in front of him, clearly disgusted by this person.

"My son is a psychic genius, how can he be compared to those peasants?" the woman said angrily, as if she had been greatly insulted, as if she had forgotten that just a few decades ago, she was also one of those peasants, even far inferior to them. "You just can't stand my son being a genius, so you're targeting him on purpose."

Niu Dingtian had lost interest in watching the farce. He finished the large bowl of rice in front of him, then walked out of the cafeteria to carefully perceive the diversity of the world. At the same time, his body began to rapidly absorb the energy from the food to strengthen itself.
