Chapter 51 9th Revolution Limit
The top scorer in the humanities category receives a 20% bonus, which equals 1976 x 1.2 = 2371. Subtracting the 791 contribution points already converted to points, the score is 1580.
With the remaining 21 points in Chen Zheng's hand, his total points suddenly surged to 1601.
After finishing their meal, as everyone walked out of the cafeteria, Chen Zheng's personal terminal vibrated slightly, and he paused in his steps upon receiving the notification that his points had been credited to his account.
There is also a note indicating that storage equipment should be collected from the logistics department.
At this moment, Jiang Mo, who was walking side by side with him, suddenly said, "Chen Zheng, are you going to the cultivation room to cultivate again tonight?"
"Um."
"Damn it, aren't we liberal arts students? Why are you practicing martial arts so hard?"
Jiang Mo was somewhat annoyed: "These past few days, you've been fighting mutated creatures during the day and then cultivating in the training room until midnight. Aren't you tired?"
"It's alright," Chen Zheng smiled.
"Since my enlightenment, I've found that I gain new insights with each practice of the Body Refining Fist Technique, and my swordsmanship is becoming more and more fluid. So lately I've been quite enthusiastic about cultivation."
"That sounds familiar. I think you said something similar when you were inscribing runes earlier."
"Did I say that?" Chen Zheng thought for a moment.
Okay, he did say that, and he used an epiphany as an excuse at the time, but that excuse was indeed very effective.
Enlightenment is an ethereal thing that cannot be disproven. All he needs to do is demonstrate his newfound strength and progress in cultivation after the "enlightenment."
Of course, there are some odd things about him too.
For example, I redeemed a large number of Fire Orchids!
However, it doesn't matter if some people find this strange. No one could have imagined that he could directly plunder the essence of spiritual herbs and exert several times or even ten times the effect.
After greeting Jiang Mo and the others, the group parted ways. Chen Zheng arrived at the logistics building, where the lobby was brightly lit and staff were still on duty at night.
Besides Chen Zheng, there were many other students who came to exchange for pills or cultivation resources.
After waiting a while, when it was Chen Zheng's turn, he stepped forward and politely said, "Hello, I'm here to collect my storage equipment reward and exchange it for 72 Fire Orchids!"
"Scan your name, student ID, and personal terminal here."
"Verification successful, please wait."
After waiting for two minutes, the staff handed Chen Zheng a black box: "This is the reward for first place on the liberal arts trial leaderboard. It contains ten cubic meters of storage space."
"Activating this equipment is very simple; just imprint your spiritual mark on it and you can use it."
"Thank you for the reminder." Chen Zheng opened the box, put the black ring inside on the middle finger of his left hand, and infused it with his mental energy according to the instructions.
Suddenly, a phantom black space appeared in his consciousness, similar to the soul space.
Ten cubic meters may sound like a lot, but when converted, it's just a small space with a length, width, and height of 2.15 meters, much smaller than the Soul Space, which has expanded to 4x4x4.
Each of the seventy-two fire orchids was individually packaged in a small box the size of a pencil case. After confirming that everything was correct, Chen Zheng put it into his storage ring.
training room
Chen Zheng sat cross-legged, with a small pile of red orchid-like plants in front of him, the red petals gleaming under the light.
Chen Zheng held two spiritual herbs in each hand, unleashing the Myriad Spirits Plunder!
Instantly, a familiar coolness spread from my brain, and my vision became colorful, with free-floating energy particles in the air and the deep red medicinal power resembling veins in the fire orchid.
plunder!
Under the influence of an invisible force, strands of the essential medicinal power were drawn out and flowed into Chen Zheng's body through his palm, transforming into streams of warm energy that spread throughout his body.
After plundering the medicinal power of eight spiritual herbs in one go, Chen Zheng stood up and went to the center of the cultivation room to assume the starting stance of the Wild Bull Body Refining Fist.
At this moment, the medicinal power within his body was like boiling magma, requiring cultivation to refine it into qi and blood before it could be fully absorbed.
Boom! The ground shook, starting with the bull stomping its feet, then it butted its horns, swung its tail, and crashed into the mountain...
With each repetition of the practice, Chen Zheng's entire body was trembling.
Each time he practiced, the medicinal power was consumed by one unit, and his qi and blood became stronger and more refined, thus continuously improving the progress of the Wild Bull Body Refining Fist.
Eight turns, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%... Nine turns!
boom!
The moment Chen Zheng stepped into the ninth level of the Wild Bull Body Refining Fist, his entire body bones erupted with cracking sounds as each bone readjusted to the increased muscle tension.
There's still room for improvement!
Chen Zheng felt that the strength of his muscles was still increasing as he cultivated, although the speed was a little slower than before.
That's not enough; we need more elixir essence.
When the progress of the Wild Bull Body Refining Fist reached 35% of the Nine Revolutions, Chen Zheng, feeling the exhaustion of the medicinal power in his body, flashed and grabbed the spiritual medicine with both hands, activating the Myriad Spirits Plunder.
This time, Chen Zheng plundered ten Fire Orchid medicinal plants in one go.
Nine turns, 38%, 45%... finally stopped at 99%. Even if Chen Zheng practiced the Wild Bull Body Refining Fist ten times in one go, there was no change.
He still has the medicinal power of a fire orchid in his body, but his muscles have already reached their limit of enhancement.
Whoosh! Chen Zheng put down his fist and stood up, opened his mouth and exhaled a scorching wave of air, which shot out two meters before slowly dissipating.
"Plundered 107 points of elixir essence".
"The Raging Bull Body Refining Fist has been upgraded, from 75% at the eighth level to 99% at the ninth level."
"Basic punching power increased by 190 kg"
As the 99% progress indicator slowly disappeared, a hint of regret appeared in Chen Zheng's eyes. It turned out that the Wild Bull Body Refining Fist could not be improved any further.
If he can continue to improve, and with his utilization rate of spiritual medicine essence, he can raise it to the nineteenth or twenty-ninth level, his terrifying foundation might be able to crush most second-realm experts.
Of course, paradoxes will arise here as well.
Which is more worthwhile: to quickly improve one's martial arts realm with the obtained elixirs, or to cultivate all techniques to their limits and increase one's foundation in martial arts?
Shaking his head, Chen Zheng banished these distracting thoughts from his mind.
There are currently fifty-four Fire Orchids left. Without hesitation, Chen Zheng plundered the essence of ten more spiritual herbs and assumed the starting stance of the Thirteen Forms of the Serpent Tendon.
The Tendon-Refining Fist Technique differs from the Muscle-Refining Fist Technique. The Raging Bull Fist Technique releases powerful force, with each punch honing the explosive power of the muscles, while Tendon-Refining Fist Technique focuses on stretching the flexible fascia.
Every movement stretches, lengthens, and strengthens the muscles and tendons throughout the body.
With continued cultivation, the fascia became thicker and more flexible under the nourishment of the medicinal power and qi and blood, and the cultivation level steadily improved, reaching 55% and 70% at the third stage, and 15% and 30% at the fourth stage...
When Chen Zheng pushed the progress of the Thirteen Forms of the Viper Tendons to 25% of the fifth stage, the medicinal power he had plundered was completely digested.
Plundering, training, sweat pouring down...
By the time Chen Zheng had refined all the essence of the spiritual herbs, it was already midnight. His eyes were bright and his aura was imposing.
"Plundered 321 points of Elixir Essence"
"The Thirteen Forms of Viper Tendons have been upgraded to Nine Turns (12%)."
"Base punching power increased by 570 kg, current base punching power is 2396 kg."
Two thousand four hundred kilograms of punching power! Chen Zheng took a deep breath, clenched his fist, and instantly felt a surge of immense power gathering around him.
This training session may have only increased arm strength by nearly 800 kilograms, but that's just the surface data.
After reaching the ninth level of the Mangniu Body Refining Fist, the strength of all the muscles in the body becomes a unified whole. Previously, there was a slight lag in the exertion of force between different muscle groups, but now it has all disappeared.
The breakthrough of the Thirteen Forms of the Viper's Tendons to the Ninth Turn has caused his fascial flexibility and explosive power to increase simultaneously. With the same amount of muscle, he can now deliver a higher instantaneous burst of power.
However, when Chen Zheng had cultivated the Thirteen Forms of the Viper Tendon to the ninth level, he found that feeling of his physical limit had reappeared.
Chen Zheng pondered, "Since I absorbed the active elements of extraordinary minerals, my physical constitution limit has increased by a total of 195 points."
"Based on my experience with this cultivation, I estimate that 100 points correspond to the limit of a body-refining technique. Therefore, I plan to push my skin-refining technique to the ninth level limit as well, and raise my physical constitution limit to 300 points."
After thinking for a moment, Chen Zheng said, "Number One, turn on the testing equipment. I want to test the current data."
As he spoke, Chen Zheng took out the Black Cloud Blade from his storage space.
"Test equipment is now activated. Please proceed to the test area."
Chen Zheng approached the strength testing device, facing the non-Newtonian fluid test target that had been cleaved countless times. He stood with his feet apart and held a knife in his right hand.
Boom! Chen Zheng's longsword slashed out a silver arc like a bolt of lightning, striking the test target with a deafening roar.
In an instant, the values on the testing equipment screen jumped rapidly, finally settling at 4070 kilograms.
The impact of this four-ton blade amplified the basic punching power by 70%, a 20% increase compared to before the breakthrough.
If he had this strength during the trial this morning, he wouldn't have needed to dodge that level nine peak mutated giant elephant at all; he could have cleaved it in two with a single strike, tusks and head.
"Next is a test of continuous attacks, please be prepared."
Chen Zheng took a deep breath, gripped the knife handle with his right hand, focused his gaze on the test target, and tensed his fascia like a fully drawn bow.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, dozens of slashes were unleashed, the blades flashing and blurring into a blurry afterimage. The test alloy target emitted a continuous roar under the dense barrage of strikes.
At the very last second of the countdown, Chen Zheng abruptly sheathed his sword and stood upright, exhaling slightly.
"Personal data update: 20-26 slashes per second, maximum slash force 3120 kg, minimum slash force 2417 kg."
"The current standard punching power of a level nine martial artist in the school is 1000 kg, with a maximum explosive power of 1427 kg, and a marked number of strikes per second of 17."
"With my current strength, I should be able to break into the top 3,000 of the freshman rankings, right?" Chen Zheng's eyes were full of confidence, but his tone carried a hint of uncertainty.
After all, those who can get into the Jiangzhou Martial Arts Department are all geniuses. They break through to the second realm in their senior year of high school. Such people's flesh-refining, tendon-refining, and skin-refining fist techniques have reached at least the fifth or sixth level.
Otherwise, he wouldn't deserve the title of so-called genius.
What Chen Zheng wanted to do was to use the power of the Nine Revolutions Limit to challenge those geniuses!
However, it's too late today. I'll enter the virtual realm tomorrow to challenge the newcomer combat power ranking. I'll try to climb to 3,000th place in one go and get some points to exchange for more spiritual medicine.
