The science lesson continued: Genki particles, thermal expansion and contraction, and the Fite Burial Zone!

"Since all matter exists in three states—solid, liquid, and gas—I believe that Genki should also exist in this state."

"Hint: Energy Points +61!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Hong's mind went blank. She instantly grasped the key point; she understood Ling Yi's meaning, yet felt something was missing.

Not only Teacher Luo Hong, but the other students also understood Ling Yi's meaning, and everyone looked at Ling Yi in disbelief.

They all realized that Ling Yi's theory seemed to be correct.

At this moment, Ling Yi was trying to communicate with the system in his consciousness.

"System, could you please wait until I finish before making a settlement? These constant notifications are affecting my performance."

"Ding! The host's suggestion is reasonable and has been adopted!"

That's more like it; a good system is one that obeys commands.

Coming to his senses, Ling Yi continued, "As you all probably guessed, cultivation is divided into three stages: Mortal Tier, Venerable Tier, and Saint Tier."

" At the Mortal Tier, Genki exists in a gaseous form within our meridians; at the Venerable Tier, Genki liquefies; and at the Saint Tier, Genki Core Formation, which is a solid state."

"Suppose there were a way to artificially control the transformation of Genki between its three forms, wouldn't that mean everyone could become a saint?"

Ling Yi's mind was now completely clear, and he suddenly felt that his theory seemed to be feasible.

He turned back and wrote two more words on the blackboard: Particle.

" Shitou are made up of sand and soil. We can think of sand and soil as the particles that make up Shitou. So what are sand and soil made up of? It's these—particles!"

"In fact, all matter is composed of particles. Shitou are composed of Shitou particles, trees are composed of tree particles, and Genki is composed of Genki particles."

Ling Yi then added the word " Genki " before "particle".

Ling Yi didn't mention molecules or atoms, mainly because he was worried they wouldn't understand. He explained it using particles, which would be more accessible and straightforward.

He continued speaking, following his own train of thought.

"Let's take water as an example again. Water is composed of water particles. So how do these water particles transform between solid, liquid, and gaseous states?"

Upon hearing Ling Yi's words, Luo Hong's expression turned serious, and she looked at Ling Yi with utmost seriousness.

Just then, the classroom door was pushed open, and Professor Zhou Mosong, who teaches pharmacy, walked in.

He first looked at Ling Yi on the podium, then at Luo Hong sitting below, listening attentively and taking notes, and was momentarily stunned.

Luo Hong made a shushing gesture, then pointed to the seat next to her.

Zhou Mosong sat down next to Luo Hong with a blank expression, wanting to say something, but found that Luo Hong had already looked at Ling Yi on the podium again, with a serious expression.

Ling Yi also saw Elder Zhou come in, but he was already completely absorbed in the moment, so he ignored Elder Zhou.

He turned around and wrote the word "distance" on the blackboard.

What happens when water turns into a gas? Its volume increases. Why does it increase? Can we understand it as the distance between water particles increasing?

"This... this..."

Upon hearing Ling Yi's words, Ling Yi Zhou Mosong, the teacher who had just entered, was immediately stunned. Looking at the series of phrases Ling Yi had written on the blackboard, he instantly realized something.

His expression also became serious.

"In other words, if we could make the distance between water particles smaller, would that mean we could turn water into water vapor?"

"Similarly, what would happen if we could find a way to increase or decrease the distance between Genki particles?"

"It will make our advancement easier and make our skills more powerful!"

At this moment, top student Lin Ruoran raised her hand again and asked, "But, how can we control the distance between the Genki particles?"

"See, that's the crux of the problem!" Ling Yi laughed.

He turned around and wrote two more words on the blackboard: Temperature!

How does water turn into a gaseous state? By heating it!

Conversely, when the temperature drops, the water vapor will turn back into water, just like rainwater outside!

Ling Yi pointed out the window, somewhat speechless.

It was snowing just now, and now it's turned into rain. The weather in this world is truly amazing.

"So here's the question: if water can Shapeshifting through temperature, can Genki also Shapeshifting through temperature?"

At this point, Ling Yi shrugged and said, "I'm sorry, I can't cultivate right now, so I can't verify this, but I suspect it should be feasible."

At this moment, Teacher Zhou Mosong suddenly said, "This matter doesn't need verification. Your statement is correct. Among the Second Pin advancement potions, there are six types of ice-attribute firewood, including Cold Cooling Firewood and Ice Crystal."

"The purpose of these medicinal herbs is to lower the temperature of Genki, thereby Ko Chun."

"Sorry, please continue!" Zhou Mosen said, scratching his forehead sheepishly, realizing that his words had interrupted Ling Yi's train of thought.

" Elder Zhou, you're too kind. At least your words prove that my haphazardly conceived theory is correct. However, there are still many things I need to verify."

After a pause, Ling Yi said, half-jokingly, "You probably don't know the pain of being a cultivation failure. With my current aptitude and talent, achieving anything in cultivation is almost impossible."

"Among all the races in the world, those like me who are unable to cultivate make up more than 80%. I've always thought that if all 80% could cultivate, then even if the Feite People came ten or a hundred times more, it wouldn't be a threat."

"Perhaps I'm being a bit far-fetched, but if I make bold assumptions and carefully verify them, maybe one day I'll succeed?"

At this moment, Luo Hong stood up and said to Ling Yi, "Come to my office with me!"

"Good!"

Ling Yi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead; in truth, he didn't know how to continue the conversation.

At first, he just rambled on and on, saying whatever came to mind. But in the middle, he got really carried away and started rambling on about his own fabricated theories.

The more he talked, the more sense it made, but the more sense it made, the less Ling Yi dared to talk nonsense.

It's okay to make things up, but what if people believe what he says, leading to irreversible consequences?

Take the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, for example. Everyone understands the theory, but putting it into practice is extremely difficult.

While it's true that Genki exists in gaseous, liquid, and solid states, Ling Yi dared not draw any conclusions without verification as to whether it fully conforms to the Physics principles of his previous life.

In the novel's parlance, what's this called again?

Rules, yes, rules—the rules must be different in every world, right?

Who knows if the knowledge I gained in my previous life is equally applicable in this world?

Luo Hong led Ling Yi toward her office, and Zhou Mosong naturally followed, as he was also very interested in Ling Yi's Genki Particle Theory.

"What you said is very enlightening for us. Just like you said, make bold assumptions and carefully verify them. Your theory about Genki particles may very well be correct."

"This perfectly explains some issues that we've always wanted to explain but haven't been able to, and it may even touch upon the essence of cultivation."

" The Genki Cultivation Method is a technique that was discovered through trial and error, like crossing a river by feeling for Shitou. However, we only know how to do it, but not why."

Even powerful cultivators can only offer you some insights; no one has ever truly grasped the essence of Genki.

Luo Hong patted Ling Yi on the shoulder and said with great satisfaction, "The rest is just a matter of carefully verifying the information. But how to verify it is up to you to figure out. If you need anything, I will definitely help you in any way I can."

Ling Yi thought for a moment and said, "I need a laboratory, and I need some high-tech experimental equipment."

Upon hearing the word "high-tech," Luo Hong's eyes lit up, and he said, "Perhaps you could go to the Fite Burial Zone!"

" The Fite Burial Zone? What's that place? Could it be...?"

"The site where the wreckage of the Feite People's warships was once piled up."

Ling Yi's expression was somewhat strange. Could it be that the people of this world looked down on the technology of the Feite People and therefore treated those warships as garbage?

Ling Yi returned home around 3 PM.

He took off his raincoat with a disgruntled expression and casually hung it on the rack by the door.

"What the hell is this weather? Damn it, Laozi just got home and the rain stopped, like it was all planned."

The school only has classes in the morning; the afternoons are for students to study on their own.

Of course, whether or not a student chooses to practice cultivation is their own business, and the school basically doesn't interfere.

Every year, the school holds an assessment, and those who pass the assessment are promoted to the next stage of learning.

Those who do not meet the standards will have to repeat the year.

Because Ling Yi is Beastman Tribe, although he cannot cultivate, he has a talent for Swiftness, so he passed the annual assessments relatively easily and thus progressed to his third year of high school.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Ling Yi will likely miss out on university. To get into university, he would need to reach at least the Mortal Tier Second Grade.

Given Ling Yi's natural talent and aptitude, reaching the Mortal Tier Second Grade within two months is virtually impossible.

By the time they reached the senior year of high school, most students had reached the Mortal Tier Second Grade of the mortal realm, with those of exceptional talent even reaching the Third Pin. Among them, there were also a few prodigies who reached the Mortal Tier Fourth Grade.

Take, for example, the top student Lin Ruoran.

Lin Ruoran doesn't have any extraordinary family background; she's just incredibly talented.

He developed a sense of Qi in the first half of his first year of high school, reaching the Mortal Tier First Grade. He broke through to the Second Pin in the second half of his second year, broke through to the Third Pin rank in the second half of his third year, and broke through to the Fourth Pin in the second half of his third year.

As for Ling Yi, he could still get by in his first and second years of high school thanks to his Beastman Tribe talent, but by his senior year, he had completely become the worst student.

Without cultivating one's vital Genki, one will ultimately become nothing more than an ant.

However, after what happened this afternoon, Ling Yi's name is likely to spread far and wide.

Whether it's the concept of affinity with Genki or the Genki Particle Theory, especially the theory of Genki particles, it has a significant impact on the people of this world.

However, Ling Yi knew very well that a theory was just a theory, and verifying the correctness of a theory was not an easy task.

"I wonder if anyone will use water to verify the theory of thermal barrier contraction, and then discover that water, when it freezes, not only doesn't decrease in volume but actually increases, and then someone will refute them."

"If someone argues with me, I can earn another batch of Energy Points."

"System, let's summarize what we've learned."

"Hint: This science popularization session earned a total of 671 Energy Points points!"

That many? Energy Points are still quite easy to earn.

These 671 Energy Points seem to be only useful for increasing physical fitness for now.

Ling Yi clicked the [+] sign in the [Constitution] section of the system interface.

The next moment, a cool energy coursed through his body, and Ling Yi could clearly feel that his strength had increased and his mind had become clearer.

This physical parameter represents Ling Yi's overall qualities, which is clearly an all-round improvement.

This feeling was amazing, Ling Yi got carried away, immediately putting all the remaining Energy Points into his physique.
