Chapter 44
Going to School
Monday morning at six o'clock.
Chen Mo exited the meditation on time and glanced at the panel.
Mental strength increased by 2 points to 163, visualization proficiency increased by 20 points, basic flying needle technique mastery (13/100), and mental perception proficiency increased by 15 points.
Last night, Chen Mo practiced throwing needles for over an hour.
His natural talent was consistently utilized, and with the help of his mental perception, he gradually corrected his flying needle posture and summarized his power generation techniques, which enabled him to successfully learn how to fly needles.
He has gained another martial art skill. Although it is a basic, low-level skill, Chen Mo believes that if he masters it to a high level, it will definitely be useful.
To make the most of his time, Chen Mo got up and began practicing standing meditation on the bed.
Unfortunately, Chen Mo's room was quite small, with a bed taking up most of the space.
Normally, when his younger sister doesn't cling to him and sleep with him, he gets up early and practices standing meditation in bed.
"I wonder if the resistance to the Qi and Blood Pill has disappeared yet?"
Chen Mo looked inward and examined himself.
Soon, the condition inside his body came to mind, and without hesitation, he began to examine it little by little.
Through examination, Chen Mo quickly obtained the results.
He will need to wait another half day for the resistance from the Qi and Blood Pill in his body to disappear.
In other words, he can take the premium Qi and Blood Pill in the afternoon.
Now, his Qi and Blood have reached 68. If he digests the premium Qi and Blood Pill, he will surely be able to break through to the seventh rank of Martial Apprentice.
Suppressing his excitement, Chen Mo began to analyze the basic stance training.
Recalling the tenth stance exercise, Chen Mo began to stretch his body and assume the pose.
Under the guidance of mental perception, I gradually adjusted my posture.
By the time he adjusted to the standard movements described in the teaching, more than half an hour had passed.
Maintaining this position, Chen Mo carefully observed the changes within his body.
However, after more than a minute, a certain acupoint lit up, and at the same time, the muscles on the surface of the acupoint twitched, but they were all quite weak.
Seeing this, Chen Mo knew that his body's qi and blood were insufficient, preventing him from condensing them.
The higher the realm, the more energy is required, and the more difficult it becomes to condense qi and blood.
This is normal. After taking the premium Qi and Blood Pill and breaking through to the seventh rank of Martial Apprentice, the amount of Qi and Blood condensed will decrease accordingly, regardless of whether it is a regular or premium Qi and Blood Pill.
70 points of Qi and Blood is a watershed moment. Before 70, it is relatively easy to condense Qi and Blood, but after 70, the energy required increases exponentially.
However, once one's Qi and Blood reach level 75, the Qi and Blood Pill becomes less effective.
In order to condense more Qi and blood, Chen Mo immediately took a Blood Nourishing Pill. He wanted to push his Qi and blood to 69 so that the premium Qi and Blood Pill could exert its maximum effect.
Chen Mo had not yet broken through to the seventh-grade martial apprentice level, so he didn't know much about the effects of the premium Qi and Blood Pill.
Each one only costs five thousand yuan, and Chen Mo doesn't care about wasting it; improving his strength is the priority.
Around 7 o'clock, Chen's mother knocked on the door and called Chen Mo to have breakfast. Chen Mo also successfully improved his Qi and blood, bringing his total Qi and blood value to 69.
After breakfast, Chen Mo took his weapon and backpack and went to school.
Chen Mo is a student at Jiangbei City Fifth High School and is a student in Class 3 of the third year of high school.
As usual, Chen Mo arrived at his classroom ten minutes before class started.
When he appeared at the classroom door, the entire class fell into an eerie silence for a second. At the same time, he sensed that the way his classmates were looking at him was somewhat strange.
In particular, Song Hao, who came in first place, looked at her with disdain.
There was nothing Song Hao could do; sitting in the front row, he made no attempt to hide his gaze.
Li Donghai, Zhang He, and Yang Hu also wore gloating expressions.
Looking at his seat, he realized that Jiang Tao hadn't arrived yet.
Chen Mo ignored the stares from his classmates and walked back to his seat.
In class, Jiang Tao was his closest friend; he wasn't familiar with anyone else.
In the past, Chen Mo was always quiet and focused on his training, so he didn't make any friends.
Other classmates wouldn't approach him, this taciturn guy.
The truth is, he has no talent and no money, so befriending him is of little value.
My friendship with Jiang Tao developed over three years of sitting at the same desk.
Back in his seat, Chen Mo found nothing had changed, so he put his things away and began to close his eyes and meditate.
Just now, Chen Mo's classmates looked at him strangely, but they tacitly refrained from discussing it.
Chen Mo's grades were among the worst in the class, so they didn't deserve their attention.
The students were actually discussing the upcoming quiz.
"I don't know what my homeroom teacher was thinking, she had to give me a quiz today of all days. It made me so nervous. I've been practicing hard at the martial arts gym all weekend. Sigh, I hope I do well and don't get scolded."
"I suffered even more, practicing intensively at home and even giving up video games. My parents told me they would break my legs if my grades dropped!"
"Damn, what you're saying is making me even more nervous! Look, my palms are sweating!"
"You bastard, you're so hardworking, what are you nervous about? I'm the one who should be nervous. I forgot to train for the whole weekend. Now I'm definitely going to get a lecture from the homeroom teacher."
"What have you been doing that you've even forgotten about cultivation? Explain in detail."
"You're just hoping I'll get special training, aren't you? Why would I tell you something so embarrassing!"
As they chatted, someone brought up Chen Mo.
"Hey, you know what? A friend told me that Li Donghai got instantly killed at the Wuji Martial Arts Academy on Saturday!"
A boy said in a low, mysterious voice.
"Li Donghai, one of the top five in our class! How could he be so easily defeated? It can't be real!"
"I knew you wouldn't believe me, and I didn't really believe it at the time either, but my friend swore he'd stay single forever, and he wasn't lying. So, I started to believe him."
"Hey bro, you've been fooled! If it were true, it would have spread by now. Look at Li Donghai's expression, does he look like he was easily defeated? He's in the top five of our class, if he were easily defeated, would he even have the face to come here?"
"That's bullshit. If he doesn't come to the quiz today, believe me, the homeroom teacher will call his dad! Forget it, I'm not saying anything more. If Li Donghai hears this, I'll get a beating."
......
Despite the noise, Chen Mo focused entirely on meditation, effectively blocking out the sounds.
However, when Jiang Tao arrived, he withdrew from the meditation.
"Taozi, you always arrive right on time. Aren't you afraid the homeroom teacher will give you a hard time?"
Chen Mo patted Jiang Tao on the shoulder and joked.
"I wasn't late. Look, there's still a minute left. The homeroom teacher has no reason to arrest me."
Jiang Tao said nonchalantly.
"You're awesome! Don't be nervous during the quiz later!"
"Wrapped!"
Jiang Tao gave him a reassuring look, "Just wait and see how powerful you are, shocking everyone! When they see your perfect swordsmanship, they'll be absolutely dumbfounded."
"That's an exaggeration!" Chen Mo said modestly.
"It's not an exaggeration!" Jiang Tao shook his head. "It's a pity that the news of you easily defeating Li Donghai didn't get out. If you hadn't stopped me, I would have told everyone in the class group."
Before Chen Mo could answer, the students in front of them suddenly turned around and asked:
"You're bragging, aren't you?" (referring to a comment about easily defeating Li Donghai and Jiang Tao.)
