abide by what you accept."
"Don't worry."
"I'll take care of the hygiene this week. It'll be yours next week. You can check it out and find any problems. It'll be the same if you do it next week," Luo Murong said.
"No problem. Let's exchange contact details. It'll be easier to contact you if there's anything urgent."
Luo Murong nodded after a moment's hesitation. When he returned to his room, Xu Tui scanned the interior of Luo Murong's room through the half-open door. He was immediately shocked.
Oh, wow.
The room had completely changed. It was like a room used for filming ancient dramas. Even the standardized chairs that were provided by the school were covered with a plain Han Style seat cover.
He really was a man in a traditional Han costume.
After returning to his room, Xu Tui closed the door. He had wanted to rest for an hour before training so that he could use the most time possible to recover his mind power and increase the efficiency of his training.
However, Xu Tui could not suppress his curiosity.
The five superb-type training technique projection cards that Mr. Wen Shao had given Xu Tui were like a cat gently scratching at him.
It made his heart itch. He could not take it.
"It should be fine to take a look, right?"
With that thought in mind, Xu Tui pasted the superb-type training technique projection card onto his communication device.
He read it.
Soon, Xu Tui's curious heart cooled down.
How should he put it? The cultivation technique was definitely real.
However, no matter which cultivation technique it was, it was always more difficult. The requirements for cultivating it were also more peculiar.
Chapter 61: An Accident in Actual Combat (2)
This was especially so since he had not activated the corresponding genetic base points. It was extremely difficult to get started.
Based on the introduction of the secret technique, it was impossible for someone to learn it in half a month. It was more common for someone to not be able to learn it in a few months or even years.
This was why students from the Mystery Branch's School of Superb had to activate the corresponding genetic base points before they were accepted into the college. Otherwise, wouldn't they be completely useless if they could not learn it for a few years after being accepted into the School of Superbs?
"Mr. Wen Shao shouldn't know that I can activate my genetic base points at will, right?"
Suddenly, Xu Tui felt that Mr. Wen Shao's kindness toward him today seemed to be tinged with ill intentions.
Xu Tui's ability to sense genetic base points through his illusory introspection should be able to reduce the difficulty by a little. However, it would not be as easy to learn as from the Version 4.9 of Mind Concentration Foundation Forging Technique that An Xiaoxue gave.
After going through the list, Xu Tui placed the five superb-type cultivation technique projection cards to the side. He would consider that when he had a large amount of money in the future and had mastered Version 4.9 of the Mind Concentration Foundation Forging Technique.
If he knew everything, he would be lacking in every way. It was better to specialize in the same skill.
Just like An Xiaoxue.
"I should focus on training. At this stage, I should focus on training my mind power and the consciousness-forging technique."
"I should be able to easily activate the 10th genetic base point of the first level of the Mind Concentration Foundation Forging Technique tonight, right?"
...
The night's training went smoothly.
However, the Level E Energy Restoration Elixir consumed a lot of energy. He could use up two bottles in one night. If his mind power increased again in a few days, he might even spend three bottles in one night.
Xu Tui smelled a faint fragrance the moment he woke up in the morning. It was the aroma of sandalwood mixed with the scent of fresh flowers.
Luo Murong had already woken up. The door was half-open. The sandalwood scent was coming from Luo Murong's room. He could vaguely see that Luo Murong was in a horse stance.
He was training. Extreme Branch? There was also an incense burner that was emitting green smoke.
Where did the fragrance of the flowers come from?
He searched everywhere.
Xu Tui found three large bouquets of beautiful flowers at the entrance of the dormitory.
Xu Tui was elated. Did someone send him flowers?
"Gong Ling?"
It could only be her.
As for Cheng Mo…
Xu Tui shook his head at the shuddering scene.
There was a message slip in the bouquet. The smile on Xu Tui's face disappeared after he scanned through the message.
"For my dear Brother Murong…"
"Good morning, Young Master Luo. I hope that your mood today is as good as the sun."
"Brother Murong, the flowers are like me. They are willing to fall into your hands."
Xu Tui was speechless. He was fed with spoonfuls of sweetness so early in the morning. And there were three packets of it. However, it was not appropriate to place the flowers at the door. Xu Tui wanted to bring them in.
"Don't move it. Just leave it there. If you are willing to bring it in, you will be in charge of such matters in the future," Luo Murong said from within the room.
Xu Tui was speechless.?Hmph, do you think I'm willing to move it? I'm just a hardworking bee…
He washed his face, brushed his teeth, ate, and went to class.
Xu Tui lived a rather regular life for the next three weeks. He attended classes, ate, and trained. He went to the Genetic Research Institute on the weekends to be a garbage mover. Then, Xu Tui became a long-term cleaner in Dorm 1604.
It was Luo Murong's first week of cleaning. Xu Tui had only glanced at it but did not look closely. However, it was really clean.
However, Luo Murong managed to find many problems with Xu Tui during his second week of cleaning.
Such as the windowsill had not been wiped.
Such as the surface of the toilet had not been washed.
So, Xu Tui was reelected.
The third week had basically passed. However, Luo Murong still managed to find a few faults in his hygiene. He should have no problems becoming a cleaning staff in his fourth week.
Xu Tui felt a little cheated. But he had to endure it. A man had to keep his word.
Xu Tui had grown very quickly during these three weeks.
There were a total of 36 Genetic Base Points in the first level of the Version 4.9 of Mind Concentration Foundation Forging Technique. Xu Tui had activated the 31st. He would be able to complete the first level in the next seven to eight days.
He had achieved the so-called elementary level of instantiation.
However, in reality, Xu Tui had already completed the so-called elementary instantiation three days ago. He flipped through the book as if it was a toy.
Currently, Xu Tui did not have to use his hands to flush the toilet or turn on the tap. He switched to mind power. Well, it was clean and hygienic. This was especially so for public bathrooms.
He studied every day and made great progress in his theory. He had gained a lot. However, the size of his wallet decreased faster than he had expected.
In the past, one or two bottles of Level E Energy Restoration Elixirs would have allowed him to activate one genetic base point. Now, he needed five to six bottles to activate a genetic base point that was ranked near the back.
In the genetic ability chain, activating the genetic base points at the back of the sequence consumed a large amount of energy.
Thanks to Mr. Bian Yuan's attentive guidance, Xu Tui understood what was going on theoretically.
The reason was simple. The genetic ability chain was a collective ability. Even though he had activated a new genetic base point in his ability chain, he had to first strengthen the structure of the genetic ability chain before he could activate a new genetic base point.
That meant that when a genetic base point was activated in the same genetic ability chain, it would also strengthen the genetic base points that were already activated.
That was why the activation of the ability at the later stages required such a large amount of energy.
Similarly, the more genetic base points a genetic ability chain had, the more difficult it was to activate it.
Of course, the benefits were obvious. The radius of his mental senses expanded once again.
Chapter 62: An Accident in Actual Combat (3)
Xu Tui felt that he would not be able to use the 20-gram vacuum silver tantalum bottle for much longer.
The biggest problem Xu Tui faced now was money. His training speed was fast enough. However, the money he spent could no longer be described as money.
Twenty days… 300,000…
That was 450,000 dollars a month.
Xu Tui felt that he had to proactively slow down his training if he could not find a way to make money in the next three weeks. He even considered whether or not he should be like Cheng Mo and activate the Genetic Base Points in his stomach and transform into King of gluttons and consume a large amount of ordinary food to obtain energy. It would greatly reduce the consumption of energy during training.
However, the problem was that the king of gluttons could not be activated at will. He could not act recklessly without a systematic training method.
It shouldn't be a problem for him to have horns. But having mushrooms on his face was a major problem.
It was early in the morning. There were three bouquets of fresh flowers at the door of Dorm 1604. The words they left behind every day were not the same.
Luo Murong had never seen it before. However, Xu Tui could sense it with his thoughts every day. This was Xu Tui's daily spoonful of sweetness.
After cleaning up, Xu Tui rushed to the multi-purpose hall for his lesson.
The first lesson of the day was a public lecture. It was led by Mr. Wen. He had not attended this class for the past three weeks. They said that since everyone had just started training, there was no point in giving this lesson.
However, according to the arrangements made last week, they would begin their lesson of the Application of Actual Combat of the Mystery Branch.
You could tell how important this lesson was just from the name.
Everyone was very motivated. Not only could they not skip a lesson, but they also had to sit as close to the front as possible. That way, they could hear and see things more clearly.
Xu Tui was also very motivated. However, he was left with the middle back row when he arrived.
"Class Monitor Xu, here. I reserved a seat for you."
The students in the School of Enlightened Mind were rather friendly. They reserved a seat for Xu Tui. Of course, it was the same as usual which was at the back of the queue. That was because most of the classes were exceptions to the students in the School of Enlightened Mind because it was not very useful.
"Thanks. I brought you breakfast." Xu Tui handed his breakfast bag over to the student from the School of Enlightened Mind, Rong Youyang. He had reserved a seat for Xu Tui every time. He had taken up a seat at the back that was loved by many students. Xu Tui had to thank him.
Not long after, Mr. Wen Shao entered the venue. He still had the fisherman's hat on his head.
"Students, we are going to conduct a lesson on the Application of Actual Combat in the Mystery Branch today. Today, I've invited a student from your school to be your teaching assistant. Let us welcome Student Deng Wei!"
"Good morning, everyone. My name is Deng Wei, and I am a first-year speed student from the Extreme Branch Institute. Currently, I have activated three genetic ability chains and am rated as a Level E liberator." A muscular male student jumped onto the platform and bowed toward the Mystery Branch students.
The students below the stage immediately let out startled cries.
Many of the students from the Mystery Branch had not even activated a single genetic ability chain, yet this student from the Extreme Branch Institute had already activated three.
That was impressive.
"Students, do you know about the Mystery Branch's greatest weakness?" Wen Shao smiled. "Many of you might have known about this, but you have never had a direct understanding of it. As for today, we'll display it to everyone.
"Which of you is willing to be Deng Wei's opponent to display your abilities? It is a simple battle. The students on the stage can wear defensive equipment.
"And it's all voluntary."
"Mr. Wen, can I make a request?" Deng Wei suddenly asked.
Wen Shao glanced at Deng Wei and was a little surprised. However, he had to give him face since he had asked him for help.
"Yes, tell me."
"Mr. Wen, can I nominally challenge a certain student?" Deng Wei suddenly spoke.
Chapter 63: I'll Take A Video (1)
"Mr. Wen, can I nominally challenge a student?"
Following Deng Wei's words, the 800-odd first-year students of the Mystery Branch turned their heads toward the middle back row in unison. Their gazes all landed on Xu Tui.
Xu Tui was speechless.
It seemed like the students knew that Senior Deng Wei was going to challenge him even without his name being called out. Of course, it was mainly because the video of the new student beating up the entire Extreme Branch Institute was too popular.
There were over 50,000 comments. Based on the number of posts, every student in the school had sent a reply.
Of course, many students from the Extreme Branch Institute furiously roared that they could crush Xu Tui and beat him to death. There were hundreds of comments like that. Some even got +10,086.
This caused Xu Tui to become a famous student in the Mystery Branch Institute.
That's right, a famous student.
There was a strong competition between the Mystery Branch Institute and the Extreme Branch Institute in the Huaxia Genetic Evolution College. Not only did the school not object, but they even encouraged this kind of competition.
Under normal circumstances, the Extreme Branch would defeat the Mystery Branch during their first and second years. This situation might change during their third and fourth years. Thus, the students and seniors of the Mystery Branch Institute were rather happy to hear that a first-year student had trounced the Extreme Branch Institute.
They would even take it out to scold the students of the Extreme Branch Institute occasionally.
"The Mystery Branch has already triumphed over the Extreme Branch.
"Look, there's a video as evidence!
That resulted in Xu Tui's high reputation and that was how Xu Tui got his position as the class monitor of the first grade.
The other students were all chasing after 'enlightenment', yet Xu Tui could defeat an Extreme Branch student.
The School of Enlightened Mind that had always been rather useless suddenly produced a powerful person. How could they not use that person as their class monitor?
At the same time, Deng Wei, who was on the platform, also turned his gaze toward Xu Tui. The meaning behind his words was clear as day.
Xu Tui rubbed his nose in frustration and prepared to get up. Since he was going to go up and get beaten up, he might as well do it once.
"Let me try it out first! Let me be Student Deng's opponent. I'm the superb-type and have already activated two genetic ability chains and have the practical ability of the superb-type.
"It should be more suitable to give a practical demonstration to the students." Che Zhan suddenly stood up.
Che Zhan is the number one genius of the Mystery Branch's School of Superb, a fire-element superb individual. He was skinny and weak, and his face was a little pale. However, his voice was filled with determination.
At this moment, Che Zhan taking the initiative to accept the challenge won him the cheers of the Mystery Branch students.
Even though Deng Wei was a teaching assistant invited by Mr. Wen, he had to directly challenge Xu Tui, who had once beaten up the Extreme Branch Institute in the hottest topics in the school.
It immediately sparked hatred in the hearts of many students.
Everyone felt that Deng Wei was not here to give a demonstration but to cause trouble and embarrass the Mystery Branch in public. He had activated the regional discrimination.
Everyone was naturally displeased. They were even angry.
Without waiting for Deng Wei to agree, the skinny Che Zhan took the initiative to walk toward the podium.
"Well, Che Zhan does have the combat capabilities of a superb-type. It would be more educational if he were to demonstrate it," Wen Shao said.
The teacher had already said so. Deng Wei would not have any sense of propriety if he insisted on challenging Xu Tui.
Deng Wei was not a fool.
"Alright. Then please put on your protective gear, Che Zhan. I am from the Extreme Branch Institute's School of Speed and pay attention to fast bursts of power. I will use my full strength once I attack. I didn't want to accidentally injure you."
Che Zhan would not be pretentious about that. He actively put on his protective gear. He had a chest plate, groin guards, arm guards, helmet, special armor, and calf guards.
These were protective gear made out of a carbon-based nano-bionic material. Even though it was a common model, its defensive capabilities were rather good. It had decent blunt resistance and was a little stronger against sharp attacks.
It was rumored that it had bulletproof abilities against ordinary firearms. However, those capabilities were limited to ordinary small-caliber firearms.
"Mr. Wen, please preside over the battle."
"Alright."
Once the podium was moved, it became a martial arts stage that was 10 meters wide and 25 meters long.
"Get ready. Stop at the right time. Of course, you might get injured during this kind of demonstration. Be careful."
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
"Start!"
Deng Wei suddenly moved after Mr. Wen shouted. He bent his body slightly and charged toward Che Zhan like a panther from 10 meters away. It even created a slight sound.
He was fast!
As the number one genius of the Mystery Branch, Che Zhan had not only put in a great deal of effort, but he had also gone through a certain level of practical training. He retreated quickly as soon as the battle started. He raised his hands slightly into the air. An intense fluctuation of mind power and a scorching sensation burst forth from Che Zhan's body.
Bang!
Deng Wei, who had been pouncing towards him at a rapid speed, kicked the side of Che Zhan's leg. Che Zhan fell onto the ground.
At this moment, Che Zhan conjured a small fireball in his hand. There were small fireballs that looked like arrowheads.
Che Zhan lost control of the fireballs as he fell to the ground due to the attack and pain. Their target was the Mystery Branch students who were watching the battle.
Instantly, there were startled cries.
The speed of the small fireballs was not fast, but it definitely exceeded the maximum speed of most Extreme Branch new students at 100 meters per second. The students in the seats would not be able to avoid it. Even if there was a distance.
"Don't be flustered!" Mr. Wen Shao casually snapped his fingers, and the mini superb-type fireball was extinguished.
On the stage, Deng Wei stood in front of the collapsed Che Zhan with an attacking stance. He extended his hand toward the collapsed Che Zhan.
"Student Che Zhan, you would have already died in battle."
Che Zhan's expression turned a little ugly. He did not accept Deng Wei's kind intentions. Instead, he got up on his own.
"Again!"
"Alright!"
Deng Wei raised his chin and accepted the challenge readily. He walked to the designated location and said, "Student Che Zhan, I'll give you one second to attack this time. I'll give your superb-type attack a chance to attack."
Che Zhan clenched his teeth and shook his head. "No need!"
"Three."
"Two."
"One."
"Start!"
While Mr. Wen was shouting for the battle to begin, intense mind power fluctuations had also surged out of Che Zhan's body. In less than half a second, the small rocket had taken shape and was flying toward Deng Wei at an even faster speed than before.
That speed was considered fast.
And Che Zhan was only 10 meters away from Deng Wei.
Deng Wei was a man of his words. He only took action after Che Zhan launched his mini rocket. He lowered his body and rolled to the side. Then, he landed on the ground and kicked Che Zhan onto the ground again.
At this moment, the mini superb rocket that missed its target had just flown past where Deng Wei was standing just now.
From the moment the mini rocket flew out, to Deng Wei taking action, to Che Zhan falling to the ground, this series of actions took less than a second.
All of the Mystery Branch students were in a state of shock.
Che Zhan was the most talented first-year student in the Mystery Branch Institute and had the strongest abilities. However, he could not withstand a single blow from Deng Wei, a new student from the Extreme Branch.
Student Che Zhan, you have died in battle again."
Che Zhan pursed his lips tightly. His expression was ugly.
Superb Type. Were they that weak?
"Students, this is the meaning of this practical demonstration lesson. The plight that Che Zhan faces will be a predicament that you will face for the rest of your lives.
"Of course, it's not that the Mystery Branch is not powerful enough. It is just that powerful abilities can only be unleashed in an appropriate environment.
This required you to think about the changes to your abilities.
During these years, you have to experience more of these kinds of battles.
"You might feel a sense of defeat, but for the future, this kind of actual combat can greatly reduce your chances of death and injury. You will have a clearer understanding of actual combat.
"Alright, are there any other students who want to challenge Student Deng Wei for a demonstration? If not, let's all send Student Deng Wei off with a round of applause," Mr. Wen Shao concluded.
Deng Wei looked toward the stage impatiently again after Wen Shao finished his sentence. He spoke to Wen Shao at the same time.
"Mr. Wen, a student from the Mystery Branch defeated a new student from the Extreme Branch this year. I saw the video. He is really powerful. If I have the chance, I really want to go through an actual battle with Xu Tui," Deng Wei said.
Che Zhan rubbed his aching waist and slowly got off the stage.
The students below the stage looked toward Xu Tui again.
On the stage, Wen Shao knitted his brows slightly. "Student Deng Wei, the actual battle drill is decided by your will. You want to invite Student Xu Tui up onto the stage for the drill? That would depend on Student Xu Tui's will. I won't stop him if he agrees.
"However, you cannot force him if he is unwilling," Mr. Wen Shao expressed his stance.
"Thank you, Mr. Wen. I understand."
Deng Wei nodded and looked toward Xu Tui, who was below the stage. "Student Xu Tui, this is just a practical battle. You wouldn't be too scared to go on stage, would you? Are you that cowardly?"
The students below the stage revealed angry expressions. Was Deng Wei bent on slapping the faces of the Mystery Branch first-year students? He had already defeated the number one genius from the Mystery Branch Institute twice. Wasn't that enough? Did he have to beat Xu Tui down to be happy?
Instantly, Xu Tui, who had once dominated the Extreme Branch Institute in school, became the last shred of dignity for the Mystery Branch first-year students.
The students had mixed feelings.
They hoped that Xu Tui would accept the challenge and defeat Deng Wei to preserve the dignity of a first-year student in the Mystery Branch. However, they did not want Xu Tui to go on stage. If Xu Tui was defeated again…
Then Deng Wei would have taken off the first-year student's underwear.
As the person in question, Xu Tui rubbed his nose in frustration. He slowly stood up. The other party had already called him by his surname, yet he was still scolding him.
If Xu Tui did not accept the challenge soon, he was really a coward.
Men could be reserved. However, he could not back down.
"Since Student Deng is so interested in me, let's have a real battle."
There was a round of applause.
Xu Tui quickly walked onto the stage under the gazes of many students.
"Be careful. Try to widen the distance between you and him. He's very fast, but it doesn't feel like he's balanced on both sides. His right leg is stronger, but his left leg is weaker." Che Zhan reminded Xu Tui in an extremely low voice as he passed by him because they had a common enemy.
When he got onto the stage, Xu Tui realized that he did not bring any soybeans with him today. He had not brought soybeans in days. After all, he was studying every day. It was not appropriate for him to bring along soybeans all the time.
Eating too much would cause trouble for the other students. They were usually useless too. However, Xu Tui did not mind it.
The purpose of today's battle drill was the battle between an Extreme Branch ability and a Mystery Branch ability.
Soon, he would use his Mystery Branch ability to battle Deng Wei.
He could already instantiate his mind power at a low level. It was a good opportunity to use it in battle. Even though the ability to instantiate mind power at a low level was not very valuable when used in battle, Xu Tui had managed to find a direction in his daily life.
Xu Tui jumped onto the makeshift stage and started putting on his protective gear. He had to put on protective gear to protect himself from Deng Wei.
Just as Xu Tui was putting on his protective gear, Deng Wei suddenly took out his communication device and placed it at the corner of the stage. He looked for an angle and activated the recording function.
"Xu Tui wouldn't mind if I recorded a video, would you?"
The first years of the Mystery Branch immediately burst into an uproar.
Wasn't this going a little overboard?
