"Ouch... it hurts!"
"Holy crap, I've broken a bone."
"Please help me, I can't move!"
Why is the "Holy Sword Gene Training Method" so difficult?
Inside the classroom, students lay sprawled on the dark red metallic floor, their cries of agony rising and falling.
As Mr. Lande weaved through the crowd, correcting the movements of those students who were still gritting their teeth and persevering, he shouted, "Endure the pain! Don't give up! Even if you can't hold on, you might as well drop out!"
"To improve the ' Holy Sword Gene Training Method,' pain is only the first hurdle. If you can't even get past this hurdle, you'll find it difficult to achieve great things in the future."
"But teacher, my bones are broken, I really can't stand up."
"That's right, what's the use of having a strong will if the body has problems?"
One student countered.
Lande snorted and pointed to the treatment pod next to him. "Climb in yourself. If you're truly paralyzed, I'll take care of it. Don't try to fool me."
After reprimanding the students, Lande scanned the entire classroom, his gaze finally settling on Lancelot. He raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Following Lande's gaze, they saw Lancelot, his cheeks also flushed, lying prostrate on the ground, his chest heaving, and gurgling sounds coming from his throat.
At the same time, his muscles were twitching rhythmically, and his eyes were resolute, seemingly unaffected by any pain.
After watching for a while, Lande couldn't help but think to himself, "No wonder he's the champion of the Joint Entrance Examination. Not only does he learn quickly, but his perseverance is also incredibly strong. No wonder His Excellency Saila offered such generous admission conditions."
As the thought crossed his mind, Lande turned around and saw the other students lying haphazardly, and he was immediately furious.
Having witnessed Lancelot's ability to learn so quickly, Lande felt that everyone else had a lot of flaws, so he became even more irritable and started yelling, treating Lancelot as a model student, speaking in the tone of the neighbor's child.
The other students couldn't help but think to themselves, "They're the champion of the Joint Entrance Examination, how can we compare?"
However, with Lancelot as a shining example, and these young people being full of youthful vigor and strong competitive spirit, Rand's comparison with Lancelot did indeed have a very good motivating effect.
Many students who couldn't hold on would grit their teeth and look at the heroic figure standing proudly at the front, which would give them a bit more strength and allow them to persevere for a little longer.
Lande nodded in satisfaction as he watched the students roll up their sleeves.
Sure enough, having a genius at the front always drives the entire team to make rapid progress.
As time went on, more and more students reached their physical limits and entered the treatment chamber.
Some students fainted before they could even get into the treatment pod, and Lande had to carry them into the pod.
Throughout the entire classroom, only Lancelot maintained Professor Lande's few movements, repeating them endlessly without collapsing or showing any signs of fatigue, as if he possessed Endless strength.
In fact, relying on his cellular-level body control, Lancelot quickly mastered the essence of the Body Tempering techniques. The exertion was minimal, and pain was no problem for him. He became more and more proficient with each practice, progressing at a speed that left Lande speechless.
Soon, it was 12 o'clock.
Lande looked at the group of students in front of him who could barely stand, and then at Lancelot, who was still standing straight and tall, and sighed inwardly. This was the difference. No wonder he was the champion of the Joint Entrance Examination.
Clearing his throat, Lande instructed, "There are no shortcuts to cultivating the Holy Sword Gene Training Method; you must put in the hard work yourself."
Our Holy Sword Academy has always prioritized practicality. Although the process may be painful, once you reach a certain level of proficiency, you will discover its immense benefits.
Especially for students in the Innovation Department, this practice is crucial to your future. Practice it diligently, or you'll regret it later.
After saying that, Lande changed the subject, "However, although there are no shortcuts, there are ways to assist in cultivating the ' Holy Sword Gene Training Method '."
Upon hearing this, the students looked over in surprise.
Lande smiled faintly and extended his index finger. "The first method: the Virtual Universe."
"You've all probably been exposed to virtual reality technology, and you've all played games, right? Virtual Universe is a technology that uses information flow to completely simulate the human body. We can study, work, play games, and even cultivate ourselves, exercise, and concoct potions within it—it's incredibly convenient."
The students nodded quickly; they certainly knew what virtual reality technology was, and one of them was clearly an enthusiast who knew something about the industry.
The man looked puzzled and asked Lande, "But teacher, as far as I know, the Alliance's virtual reality technology is only for ordinary people. The physical structure and mental thinking of Transcendent are much more complex and difficult to completely imitate. So far, no group or company has announced that it has successfully researched it, right?"
Lande glanced at the student in surprise, then nodded. "You're right."
He then explained, "The Alliance's virtual reality technology still has significant flaws, but our Holy Sword Academy's Virtual Universe has overcome these flaws. At least for Transcendent below the Sanctuary, it can achieve a simulation level of over 99%."
"However, our Holy Sword Academy's Virtual Universe took a shortcut and used a clever method, so it can't be widely popularized. Therefore, it can only be used within the academy, and there are certain limitations on the number of people online at the same time."
"A special method?" The students' eyes lit up slightly, sensing something mysterious, and they all looked at Lande expectantly.
However, the latter did not explain, perhaps he himself did not know?
Lancelot didn't think much of it; worrying about these things was pointless. When he was strong enough, all the mysteries would be unveiled.
Lande continued, "Once you enter the Virtual Universe, you can set a pain-free mode to familiarize yourself with each movement, correct any flaws, and then practice in reality."
This will increase efficiency by at least three times.
"Really? There's such a thing?" The students were overjoyed, especially those who were afraid of pain.
"Of course, but entering the Virtual Universe requires credits, 3 credits per hour," Lande said with a half-smile.
"Three credits an hour?" everyone exclaimed. "Why don't we just rob them?"
Normally, regular students do not receive academic credits upon enrollment, but only have an annual redemption quota of 100 (newly enrolled students have a privilege level of 1).
Based on this calculation, all the students present, except for Lancelot, can only enter the Virtual Universe for 33 hours.
One and a half days.
It's no wonder they reacted so strongly; after all, academic credits have so many uses, they can't all be wasted on the Virtual Universe.
"There's a reason why it's expensive. You'll taste the benefits once you use the Virtual Universe." Lande waved his hand, not giving the students a chance to speak, and continued, "The Virtual Universe is the first auxiliary method. Now I'll talk about the second one."
At this point, Lande pointed to the window above him, through which he could see the Demigod stone sword that seemed to stand in the center of the world.
"See that? That's the second type of assistance I mentioned."
"Sword Marrow!"
