22: Chapter 12 Diligence and Bravery (Thanks to ‘水_澜’ for the alliance leader reward) 22: Chapter 12 Diligence and Bravery (Thanks to ‘水_澜’ for the alliance leader reward) A mont later, Zhang Yu walked out of the Immortal Rhythm Group office building looking pale, his body hunched, with a frail appearance.
However, just a few kiloters after leaving the skyscraper and getting on the subway, his complexion gradually began to return to normal.
As he activated the Circulation Qi Gathering thod, the mana within his body suddenly surged forward like small streams, instantly perating his entire body.
The previously uncontrollably scattered mana also returned to its path with the flowing mana, integrating into the complex mana circulation within, naturally operating ceaselessly throughout Zhang Yu’s body.
Circulation Qi Gathering thod Level 1 (0/20)
Looking at the Daoism technique that appeared in the Yu Shu, a slight smile erged at the corner of Zhang Yu’s mouth.
“It can indeed be practiced.”
“If it weren’t for practicing this Circulation Qi Gathering thod, the uncontrolled mana would probably take one or two weeks to dissipate.”
The reason Zhang Yu dared to accept the trial work was due to the confidence brought by the Yu Shu.
However, at the Immortal Rhythm Group, he did not reveal his ability to practice the Circulation Qi Gathering thod.
“Although this technique is just a basic breathing skill for beginners, once mastered, it can operate 24 hours a day without rest.”
“Even without actively cultivating, it has thirty percent of the breathing efficiency during active cultivation, equating to over seven hours of breathing for others each day without doing anything.”
“And this is only the efficacy at level 1.”
“If this technique is truly developed successfully, it will imdiately beco one of the best-selling breathing skills on the market.”
Zhang Yu knew that aside from the various techniques taught at school, other techniques from large companies and sects were copyrighted, all requiring purchase, containing enormous interests.
Thus, because the Circulation Qi Gathering thod is so powerful, Zhang Yu believed it to be a highly valued developnt project by the Immortal Rhythm Group, and he did not want to expose that he had mastered it, to avoid any complications.
Especially considering the high difficulty of cultivating this technique, Zhang Yu thought it impossible for a first-year high school student without auxiliary equipnt to even perform a complete cycle once, let alone master it.
This made him even more reluctant to expose that he had mastered the Circulation Qi Gathering thod.
To master the Circulation Qi Gathering thod, Zhang Yu also shifted the specialization of the Feather Book from the Thirty-Six Forms of Body Building to this breathing skill.
Although this ant temporarily unable to quickly improve the Thirty-Six Forms of Body Building, the Circulation Qi Gathering thod had embarked on the fast track.
“Level 3 of the Thirty-Six Forms of Body Building is enough for now.”
“In the upcoming ti, I’ll focus on improving this Circulation Qi Gathering thod.”
Besides the gains from the Circulation Qi Gathering thod, the greatest reward from this trial was the paynt from the Immortal Rhythm Group.
Ten thousand yuan plus an additional three thousand, totaling 13,000 yuan in paynt.
At this mont, Zhang Yu’s savings suddenly increased to 13,700 yuan.
But unfortunately, after Zhang Yu took out 10,000 yuan to repay debts on multiple platforms, his savings quickly dropped to 3,700 yuan.
Fortunately, after repaying this 10,000 yuan, the frequency of debt collection decreased significantly, and it should not escalate for a while.
Then a countdown in his mind quickly interrupted Zhang Yu’s reverie, making him focus again, operating the Circulation Qi Gathering thod.
…
In the blink of an eye, the night had passed.
At the gate of Songyang High School, Zhang Yu was walking while checking the changes in the Yu Shu.
Circulation Qi Gathering thod Level 1 (0/20)→Circulation Qi Gathering thod Level 1 (11/20)
And thanks to the diligent practice and the effort on the Circulation Qi Gathering thod, his mana also improved.
Mana 7.7→7.8
“It truly runs passively, yesterday before sleeping I only completed 5 cycles, which counts as 5 tis.”
“But after waking up this morning, it increased to 8 tis, and by actively operating on the way to school, it reached 11 tis.”
Calculating this, Zhang Yu secretly rejoiced; compared to the 13,000 yuan, the Circulation Qi Gathering thod was the biggest gain yesterday.
He was determined to upgrade the level of the Circulation Qi Gathering thod first.
Of course, the Feather Book’s specialization would also continue to be on the Circulation Qi Gathering thod.
Unfortunately, this morning there were two consecutive PE classes again.
Walking on the way to the training field, Zhang Yu felt a bit regretful.
“Sigh, I have to practice the Thirty-Six Forms of Body Building again.”
“Now I’m specialized in the Circulation Qi Gathering thod, it’s clearly the most suitable ti to practice this breathing skill.”
Upon entering the training field, Zhang Yu saw small giants with muscles bulging like marble pricking needles into themselves one by one.
Accompanied by the crackling sounds, animal-like roars, and the clashing of equipnt, the students in the demonstration class were already eagerly exercising.
At this mont, a student looked at Wang Hai in surprise: “Impossible, this was sold by my cousin…”
Wang Hai shook his head, crushed the syringe in his hand into powder, and tossed it into the trash can.
“Look at any changes in your body weight over the past two weeks.
There’s no sign of growth in either muscle or organs; physical strength only improved by 0.03 in two weeks, appearing like a naturally weakening subject, clearly a sign of buying fake dicine.”
With that, he no longer looked at the dazed student before him, but spoke loudly: “How many tis have I told you, always purchase from verified channels, it’s safest to buy from school teachers’ supply.”
“If you buy fake or expired drugs to save money, it’s a mistake outweighing the benefits, wasting only your ti.”
After scolding the student, Wang Hai glanced at Zhang Yu in the corner engaging in body refinent.
Looking at Zhang Yu, Wang Hai thought of his physical strength data detected today: “0.85 level?
Increased by 0.02 in physical strength over three days?”
“Zhang Yu didn’t grow this fast when pricking himself with drugs every day before, did he?”
From Wang Hai’s years of teaching experience, such a quick growth in physical strength was impossible unless Zhang Yu had secretly taken drugs before class despite claiming otherwise.
“Not only is it not natural body refinent, the drug he uses must be potent to achieve such an effect, likely causing significant damage to his body.”
As for Zhang Yu’s ability to reach the third level of the Thirty-Six Forms of Body Building and conduct extre training independently, Wang Hai never considered it.
Nevertheless, Zhang Yu’s presence challenged Wang Hai’s authority in the class more than ever.
Particularly the question: where did Zhang Yu get the drugs?
Would so students see the effects on Zhang Yu and follow the sa route to purchase drugs?
If so, wouldn’t it impact his sales performance?
Thinking of the bloody competition in the Body Refining dicine Market, Wang Hai’s alert nerves instantly tightened.
“Sophomore teachers?
Junior teachers?”
“Or was it an outside tutor guiding him?”
“Is soone attempting to sell goods on my turf?”
Regarding Zhang Yu himself, Wang Hai saw him rely as a pawn, wanting to find out who’s backing him.
Nevertheless, the impact on the class needed to be eliminated.
Thus, after a mont, Wang Hai instructed a student nad Zhao Tianxing a few words.
Then Zhao Tianxing approached Zhang Yu and said, “Zhang Yu, Mr.
Wang asked to check with you, are you sure you won’t be buying dicine anymore?”
Seeing Zhang Yu nod, Zhao Tianxing scratched his head, speaking with an apologetic look: “Uh…
The teacher asked to tell you that, to not affect other people’s training, he wants you to practice alone in a small room on the side, how do you feel about that?”
After Wang Hai’s instruction, Zhao Tianxing understood Wang Hai wanted to further isolate Zhang Yu.
He looked at Zhang Yu with a hint of sympathy, yet showed no hesitation in actions.
As the ‘good student’ in Wang Hai’s eyes, obedient because he fully accepted Wang Hai’s guidance, purchased all the recomnded drugs, and coupled with his own efforts, Zhao Tianxing had gradually broken through the 1.00 level in physical strength, becoming one of the top ten in the class.
Thus, he always heeded Wang Hai’s words.
However, concerned about Zhang Yu having a reaction, he spoke very courteously and even added: “Why not buy so dicine?
Mr.
Wang’s dicine is of excellent quality, natural body refinent isn’t feasible…”
Unexpectedly for Zhao Tianxing, Zhang Yu agreed to practice outside without any hesitation.
Watching the leaving figure, Zhao Tianxing scratched his head, inwardly thought, “Sigh, Zhang Yu is quite stubborn, why not apologize to the teacher and continue attending classes properly instead of impulsively ruining his future.”
On the other side, after arriving in the small room, Zhang Yu chuckled and sat down, directly practicing the Circulation Qi Gathering thod.
Wisps of spirit machine entered the qi sea within the dantian, slowly being refined into mana by Zhang Yu.
Circulation Qi Gathering thod Level 1 (11/20)→Circulation Qi Gathering thod Level 1 (16/20)
In the blink of an eye, five circulations were completed, and two PE classes had already passed.
But in the following language and math classes, Zhang Yu in the classroom kept focusing on operating the Circulation Qi Gathering thod.
Long hours of breathing spirit machine and refining mana naturally beca quite monotonous.
Your waist, abdon, and shoulders would all ache, your skin would itch, and your spirit would feel dry.
In the past, Zhang Yu often couldn’t help but relax after breathing for one or two hours, stand up to walk around, or scratch an itch, or scratch his head.
But now, under the pressure of ritual power, encouraged by the changing numbers in the Feather Book, Zhang Yu persevered through cultivation, finally progressing the Circulation Qi Gathering thod to the 20th cycle in one go.
Circulation Qi Gathering thod Level 2 (0/40)
Countless cycles of operation experience of the Circulation Qi Gathering thod blossod in Zhang Yu’s mind as he could feel the mana circulation within becoming more complex, intricate, and more vigorous.
When Zhang Yu stopped, the Circulation Qi Gathering thod continued to operate, but at a slightly faster pace than before.
“At level 1, the passive breath speed was only thirty percent of the active breath, but at level 2, the passive breath speed increased to thirty-five percent of the active speed.”
“Regarding active operation of the Circulation Qi Gathering thod, the breathing efficiency improved significantly, much stronger than my forr level 1 Basic Breathing Technique.”
Zhang Yu nodded slightly, feeling sowhat satisfied; it’s an improvent through long-term, unceasing enhancent.
So, after lunchti, he continued progressing the Circulation Qi Gathering thod with renewed vigor.
Nearly all his usable ti in the coming days was dedicated to the Circulation Qi Gathering thod.
High school Immortal Path studies were monotonous and laborious, especially since Zhang Yu, under the pressure of ritual power, did not have any relaxation ti, only by watching the numbers of the Circulation Qi Gathering thod gradually increase, imagining the duration benefits of the passive effects of this technique, could his mind find so comfort.
The so-called inability to resist ant only enjoying.
Thus he practiced the Circulation Qi Gathering thod during PE classes.
Practiced the Circulation Qi Gathering thod during language classes.
Even during lunch breaks, continued practicing the Circulation Qi Gathering thod.
And while waiting for work on the plaza at night, he still practiced the Circulation Qi Gathering thod, it’s just unfortunate that he didn’t find work for three consecutive days.
And of course, while sleeping at ho, the Circulation Qi Gathering thod kept operating on its own.
In just three days, the Circulation Qi Gathering thod advanced to level 4 (5/80).
With Zhang Yu’s diligence, his mana also impressively progressed, rising from 7.8 to 8.3.
At this point, the passive breathing speed of the Circulation Qi Gathering thod reached forty-five percent of the active speed.
