Dawn of a New Era-Chapter 494 - 468: Sensation

"The Body Refinement Thirty-Six is something everyone has practiced. Many people wonder why some people make rapid progress and quickly become Martial Artist Apprentices, then Martial Artists.

While others progress slowly. Besides the intangible physical talents, there must be other reasons."

Everyone’s eyes lit up, and many hastily began taking notes.

Those who didn’t bring a notebook felt regretful, planning to borrow from others later for copying.

Even if what the legendary figure says sounds like nonsense, it might carry deep meaning and requires careful pondering, perhaps containing profound truths!

Chen Shouyi briefly raised the topic and quickly moved on, continuing:

"As everyone knows, the Body Refinement Thirty-Six has now evolved to its fourth version, with each edition stronger than the last.

The emergence of each version is as significant as the steam engine to the first industrial revolution.

Humanity has become stronger step by step. Previously, there was only one Martial Artist Apprentice in hundreds of people; now it’s almost widespread, and the number of Martial Artists is explosively growing,

I remember when I first came to Hedong City, the whole city had only about a thousand Martial Artists; now, there are estimated to be thousands to tens of thousands...

Chen Shouyi found that even without a speech draft, it came naturally and he had complete control:

"But this is still far from enough; Martial Artists are only able to barely survive in other worlds. The physical qualities of even an ordinary Barbarian exceed Martial Artists. To resist these worlds, humanity needs more Grand Martial Artists, Martial Artists, and even Legends.

However, although the fourth version of Body Refinement Thirty-Six is much more effective than the third, it is still limited. For Grand Martial Artists, the effects diminish significantly and for Martial Artists, it’s almost ineffective.

Until by chance, I discovered a mystical power.

After continuous attempts...

I revised a new Body Refinement Thirty-Six, and to cultivate this magical power, I also modified the Meditation Cultivation Technique!" Chen Shouyi said casually, his face involuntarily turning slightly red.

That was the only way he could explain it.

He was just that much of a genius, what could be done about it?

As for those who didn’t understand, who cares if you understand or not?

With these words, it immediately caused a sensation.

"Boom!"

The conference hall was in an uproar.

Shock!

Astonishment!

Incredulity!

Human cultivation methods generally have no secret techniques.

Whether ordinary people, Martial Artist Apprentices, Martial Artists, or Martial Artists, they all train in the same way, with the differences lying in understanding and perception.

Since the discovery of other worlds, it has only been a few years.

Countries around the world began researching Martial Arts, initially each doing their own research. They found that what they painstakingly developed was easy to be learned by other countries unless they avoided large-scale promotion, which defeated the purpose.

Later... Martial Arts research became a global public welfare project, sharing results and information, funded by the main countries in the world, with an annual budget as high as three billion dollars.

Research institutes spread worldwide, with tens of thousands of participants involved.

This is the crystallization of human wisdom and the spark of civilization.

Even ordinary people can easily learn the same cultivation techniques as Martial Artists.

Then one day, people suddenly heard that someone independently modified the Body Refinement Thirty-Six.

If it were anyone else,

a nobody, they would probably have already been accused of arrogance.

But coming from the mouth of a legendary figure, the effect is entirely different.

A professor involved in the Body Refinement Thirty-Six project research below moved his mouth but didn’t dare to stand up to question.

This was no ordinary peer, but a top human strongman, perhaps... the other party truly discovered something remarkable.

Chen Shouyi glanced around, paused, and the conference hall quickly quieted down.

He continued:

"I call this mystical power the power of the mind; many can emit Sword Qi when focusing their mind, which is the power of will, though it’s the easiest to trigger."

Below, Qin Liuyuan and Luo Peibin looked at each other in confusion: "Is this easy?"

"Actually, it can achieve anything!" Chen Shouyi continued.

"Manipulate everything!"

In the front row, many people’s pens and notebooks were pulled by an invisible force and swiftly flew up into the air amidst the crowd’s exclamations.

"Flying!"

His body slowly floated, levitating three feet above the ground, standing atop the air with swirling airflow around him.

The conference hall erupted once again, this time more astonishing.

Although some had seen Chen Shouyi fly, observing so closely was still a first.

Countless people were dumbfounded.

Chen Shouyi soon floated down:

"Including for cultivation."

"Those who excel in cultivation are often those who can forget themselves, free of distractions during practice!"

Song Tingting, covering her slightly flushed face, felt her heart pounding as if it were about to jump out.

He was incredibly charming!

She glanced at the other women around her with shining eyes.

She thought somewhat distressed:

Sigh, the competition has suddenly become so fierce!

...

Outside the auditorium was also crowded with people.

"That legendary figure is explaining a new cultivation method!"

Someone inside said.

Countless people were anxious, leaning forward with their heads outstretched, unable to hear clearly due to the noise inside.

Time passed slowly.

Half an hour...

An hour...

Two hours...

Finally, the crowd started flowing out, faces excited, talking incessantly.

"What exactly did the legend talk about?"

"What is the cultivation method like?"

Countless people stepped forward to inquire.

"Don’t crowd here, go outside to talk, make way, make way, President Chen is coming out!

Upon hearing this, the crowd quickly dispersed. Before long, Chen Shouyi and a group of school leaders came out. When he saw Zhou Xue in the crowd, he nodded slightly, then walked past her.

Zhou Xue stared blankly at the departing Chen Shouyi.

She couldn’t help but feel somewhat despondent.

If she had been a bit more patient and less arrogant at the beginning, perhaps the outcome would have been different.

"Zhou Xue, let’s go; there’s nothing to see, everyone’s gone!" a roommate next to her urged by pulling her arm.

Zhou Xue snapped back to reality: "Oh, did you remember everything clearly?"

Only after leaving the county did she realize that geniuses were everywhere, just like this roommate of hers, who had an excellent memory, remembering everything at first sight.

"I remembered it clearly, but the movements are difficult; I don’t know if I can do it. Fortunately, I drew a decomposition diagram of the movements, so I can practice slowly!"

"Chen Elder said you also need to gather your mind, attain clarity and tranquility, otherwise, you’ll get interrupted when practicing and can’t continue properly!"

"Actually, I think the key is the new Meditation Cultivation Technique, once mastered, the Body Refinement Thirty-Six will be smooth sailing!"

The few began an intense discussion.

This scene happened among countless people, forming small groups deliberating the new cultivation method outside the auditorium, even skipping lunch.

Only those who have experienced the despair of war can understand the importance of strength, as it’s the only thing that brings a sense of safety in this cruel era.
