C9 Dreamchaser
Shi Xiaoling's attitude was very good. He didn't think too much about whether he would win the match and become the transcender. He just continued to immerse himself in his martial arts practice.
Although he had already been inoculated with the eighth level virus, the amount of true essence that he could accumulate in his body was still quite limited. It was far from enough to practice the many ancient martial arts techniques that he had learned. Fortunately, he came up with a different method. He thought of using his will and spiritual energy to replace true essence in order to use the ancient martial arts technique.
Shi had discussed related topics with Tang Zhishu. Tang, a physiotherapist, believed that Shi's approach might not be impossible in theory. The spiritual force seemed formless and intangible, but it could also be an unknown form of energy. It was just a different form of material energy.
After receiving Tang Zhisu's encouragement, Shi Xiaoling became more confident in his own methods. He even imagined the day when his spiritual will had reached a certain degree of strength, when it could achieve true energy transformation and materialization, and could even transform and fuse with the warm true essence within his body.
Relying on his strong conviction and extraordinary imagination, Shi Xiaoling completely mastered all the ancient martial arts cultivation techniques from the beginning to the end. However, he was temporarily unable to display his true strength. The only thing left was to constantly strengthen his true essence.
Shi Xiaoling learned from Tang Zhisu that if he wanted his true essence to be enhanced to the maximum, he would need to be vaccinated with the most powerful grade 10 X Ultimate Virus.
However, the virus has remained in the experimental phase for many years, and it is impossible to predict whether the body of the vaccinated person will be able to withstand it. In other words, there is considerable risk and uncertainty as to what side effects the body would have on the vaccinated person.
Moreover, only the final winner of all the entrants would be eligible to be vaccinated with the most powerful Ultimate X virus an hour before boarding the shuttle.
This grade 10 X Ultimate Virus was the highest scientific research achievement on the Star Continent. It was developed using a considerable amount of rare resources and was extremely difficult to produce. With the current technology of the Star Continent, it could only be produced once a year.
Once the human body was inoculated with this ultimate virus, its ability to gather energy would be stimulated and enhanced like never before. At that time, this virus would greatly stimulate the accumulation of energy within his body and cause explosive growth or mutation within a short period of time.
In the last eight years, six of the final winners had died of the terminal virus just before boarding the shuttle.
Tang Zhisu was a little hesitant and nervous before she told Shi Xiaoling this. She was worried that Shi Xiaoling, who didn't have the best innate qualities, would be able to withstand the Ultimate Supreme Virus's attack.
However, it was hard to say whether Shi Xiaoling would win in the end. Secondly, with his understanding of Shi Xiaoling, Tang Zhishu knew that Shi Xiaoling desperately wanted to round up his dreams of ancient martial arts. Only by inoculating with the most powerful ultimate virus would Shi Xiaoling be able to greatly enhance his true essence and become a true expert of ancient martial arts.
Despite his deep concern, Tang told Shi all of this, hoping that he would be prepared for it.
At this point, Shi Xiaoling finally understood that the Level 8 virus vaccination that he had received in the last ten months was just a stepping stone for him. Only by standing up to the last minute and standing out among the other people, could he be qualified to receive the strongest virus that could stimulate and strengthen his true essence.
Shi Xiaoling asked Tang Zhishu, "Why were people 2000 years ago able to improve their physique greatly by relying on the cultivation of their true essence, but not by relying on the cultivation of modern humans 2,000 years ago?"
Tang Zhisu didn't know the exact answer to this question. She believed that two thousand years was a long and arduous process. With the rapid development of modern technology, the living environment of humans had undergone earth-shaking changes.
For the Star Continent, hundreds of years of air pollution, water pollution and food pollution were enough to weaken the human body. If the effects of thousands of years of war and natural disasters were added together, the human environment must be very different from two thousand years ago.
From this point of view, Tang Zhishu did not think that getting the secrets of longevity from the Bright Moon Continent two thousand years ago would solve all the problems.
Shi Xiaoling was shocked and asked, "Then why did you spend so much effort on this' National Life Improvement Plan '?"
Tang Zhisu smiled bitterly, "This plan was personally planned by the Head of the Guards. Perhaps the Head of the Guards felt that as long as he could obtain this Longevity Spell, no matter how expensive it would be, it would be necessary. At first, I only wholeheartedly joined because I thought that this plan would really be beneficial to the country. Now, it's already too late for me to quit. "
Shi Xiaoling was silent. In a tyrannical country like the Star Continent, the leader was like an ancient emperor, while the majority of commoners were just a bunch of grassroots working hard for their houses.
Shi Xiaoling sighed and said, "I don't know anything about the matters of the country. I am just a dreamseeker who hopes to change his fate by practicing ancient martial arts. This is an opportunity for me, no matter what. I will persevere to become the final winner. "
"I really want to become a true expert of ancient martial arts, and I also want to bring back the legendary secret of ancient longevity to the Star Continent. Perhaps after I have acquired this secret of longevity, I should give it to you, a Doctor of Physiology, to study, in the hope of contributing to the wider nation. "
Tang Zhisu smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's not up to you and me to decide." I knew that you would persevere to the end. I hope that you can really become a superhuman expert as you wish. However, I hope that you can remember that the greater your ability, the greater your responsibility. "Now, let's think more about how we can let you pass the numerous tests, especially the explosive impact of the Ultimate Virus."
Shi Xiaoling said happily, "With your support, I have more confidence."
"I've carefully investigated the cause of death of the six winners. They seemed to have suffered some sort of intense internal impact that caused their blood vessels to burst and caused them to bleed to death," Tang Zhishu said with a slightly red face.
"Moreover, the energy impacts from these types of bodies seem to be one after the other. Although the victors have survived the first round with their outstanding innate talent, they have often died from the second or third round of energy impacts."
"I can copy the distribution chart of the organs and blood vessels where they first had blood vessels ruptures to you. Maybe you can find out the approximate trajectory of the terrifying energy explosion from it. I hope that you can come up with a method to reduce the impact of similar energy attacks and divert the intense energy attacks in time. That way, you might be able to escape from death. "
Shi Xiaoling was overjoyed. He had already considered the question of how to store and direct his true essence in his meridians once it had greatly increased. Tang Zhisu's suggestion had coincided with his idea. With Tang Zhishu's objective analysis and help from a medical point of view, the possibility of him formulating a plan to deal with the cultivation technique had greatly increased.
In the following days, Shi Xiaoling devoted all of his energy to dealing with the terrifying ultimate virus outbreak.
Through the valuable information Tang Zhishu had copied to him, Shi Xiaoling deduced the possible routes that the surging energy in his body would travel once the Ultimate Virus erupted. He also tried to find a way to deal with it in the ancient martial arts he had learned.
If it was anyone else who knew nothing about the outbreak of the ultimate virus and had not learned so many ancient martial arts techniques, they would definitely be at a loss for what to do.
Shi Xiaoling's advantage lay in the many years he had spent researching ancient martial arts techniques, so he was familiar with the different ways that cultivation techniques dealt with energy. Although his true essence was limited, he had never been able to put it into practice, but with his extraordinary imagination, he created a stupid method of replacing true essence with willpower and spirit power.
If he simply couldn't win in the end, then he would naturally be unable to obtain a truly formidable true essence energy for him to use. Then, perhaps the method he had invented would forever be useless in the sky. However, Shi Xiaoling had put in all his effort for his dream, so he didn't consider that his hard work might just be a waste of time.
As he did not have the mentality of worrying about his personal gains and losses, Shi Xiaoling's belief was exceptionally firm. He really used his years of research and accumulation of ancient martial arts to come up with a few countermeasures.
The so-called response plan was actually just a few cultivation methods to disperse and circulate true essence. Even when he was eating and sleeping, he would deliberately train himself to be proficient, so that once the ultimate virus broke out, he could use these few sets of cultivation techniques to protect himself even when he lost consciousness. At the very least, he would not be killed by the surging energy.
Of course, Shi Xiaoling was not very confident about whether these responses could be useful at a critical moment. However, with his current abilities, this was all he could do.
Just like that, another month passed. During this time, the training base had also vaccinated the last 50 students, including Shi Xiaoling, with the ninth level X virus. But this time, there was something abnormal about Shi Xiaoling's body.
Tang Zhishu immediately reported the situation to the training base's chief instructor, Cai Haohua.
