This Curse Is Just Awesome-Chapter 215 - Eliminate Exotic Beasts (4)
The next day.
In a villa in the Professor's Villa Area of the Physical Martial Arts Institute.
Chen Yu sat on the sofa in the living room and looked at the old man in front of him as he spoke with assurance.
The old man should be very old. He had a head full of white hair, and all of his teeth had fallen out. On his face that was filled with ravines, the age spots were even clearer than his eyes.
At the same time that he took three steps, his speech was still leaking air, causing Chen Yu to scratch his ears and cheeks.
But he could endure all of this.
The only thing that was hard to accept was that this old professor seemed to have a poor memory...
"The compression of the dantian, that's a great art. The micro-control of Qi is even more demanding than the release of martial techniques. So you... you... What's your name again?"
Chen Yu was expressionless. "Chen Yu."
"Oh, Student Chen Yu." Nodding his head, the old man was about to speak when he was stunned and asked again. "Why are you here?"
"...I'm here to learn from you how to compress your dantian."
"Oh! Oh!" The old man came to a realization and began to walk slowly with his hands behind his back. "The compression of the dantian is a great art. The micro-control of the Qi is even more demanding than the release of martial techniques. So, you... What's your name again?"
Chen Yu clenched his fists. "...My name is Chen Yu."
"Student Chen Yu, yes. Um... Huh? What do you want to learn?"
Chen Yu's body trembled. "I want to learn how to kill a professor."
"Kill a Professor? That's not difficult." The old man came to a realization. "Different universities have different levels of security for professors. But the main opponent is still the professor himself. Because to become a professor, the level of Qi is not lower than... Ah? You want to kill the professor?!"
"It's been an hour." Chen Yu's eyes were filled with tears. "I beg you to be normal and not repeat the lesson, okay?"
As he spoke, he picked up the pen and paper on the table and wrote 'dantian compression' on it. After pausing for a moment, he wrote 'my name is Chen Yu'.
Then, he pasted it on his forehead.
"Teacher, can you remember this time?"
"Oh, oh..." The old man put on his reading glasses. "This time, I'll remember it, I'll remember it. You want to learn dantian compression, right? This is a big art, the control of Qi..."
Finally, with the 'plug-in', the checkpoint naturally passed.
The game progressed smoothly.
About half an hour later, in the professor's lecture, Chen Yu understood all the steps of dantian compression.
However, when he was performing the compression of the dantian under the old professor's command, an electronic synthesized sound suddenly sounded in his ear, which made him dumbfounded.
[Dantian condensing: Density of Force -18]
[Dantian condensing: Density of Force -23]
[ ... ]
Chen Yu: "..."
[Psychological injury: Spirit +25]
Slowly raising his head and looking at the old professor in front of him who had an expectant look, Chen Yu wanted to say something, but he stopped.
"What's wrong? Student Chen Yu? Continue?"
"That... Something seems to be wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"Un..." After a moment of silence, Chen Yu crossed his legs and asked with a serious expression, "Teacher, to advance to the next level, one needs to compress one's strength. Is there a way to expand one's strength?"
The old professor: "???"
"It's the opposite of compression." Chen Yu extended his hands and gestured. "Expand, spread, spread out..."
"...What are you doing?"
"I... I added something wrong. I want to lower the grade and add it again."
The professor: "..."
Chen Yu: "..."
The professor: "Get lost."
"Teacher, you..."
"Get lost." The old professor was so angry that his beard was trembling. He pointed outside the door. "Get lost now! How dare you mock my dantian compression technique?!"
"No, you misunderstood..."
"Get lost!"
Plop.
Chen Yu was kicked out of the villa through the window.
"Get lost!"
The old professor roared. With a bang, he closed the window and shut the curtains...
"..."
"Cough..."
Chen Yu climbed up in a sorry state. He patted the dust off his body, tilted his head, and fell into deep thought.
He had actually forgotten that there was still a big hole in his body, [Curse], waiting for him.
"This is f*cking troublesome..."
The world was vast, and there were many techniques to compress one's dantian.
However, there was definitely no idiot who would research how to 'disperse one's Qi'...
"How am I supposed to advance?"
Raising his head and looking at the bright and beautiful sunlight in the sky, Chen Yu was in a daze. "I'm stuck..."
After a long time, he came back to his senses and walked to the front of the villa again. He stretched out his hand and knocked on the door.
Knock, knock, knock!
"Who is it?"
Creak...
The wooden door was pushed open. The old professor, who did not have a good memory, looked Chen Yu up and down. "What's the matter?"
"Hello, Professor. I'm the student who bought your paid class." Chen Yu bowed.
"Oh, oh!" The old professor came to a realization and quickly moved aside. "Please come in. What time is it already? Why did you come so late?"
"I'm sorry, there was a traffic jam on the road."
"There's traffic jam in the school?"
"Don't mind these details." Walking into the villa, Chen Yu urged, "Let's start the lecture directly."
"Okay, what do you want to learn again?"
"Academic discussion on how to spread the dantian!"
"..." Hearing this, the old professor was stunned for a moment before he suddenly reacted. "I remember! It's you!"
Chen Yu: "..."
"Get lost!"
...
Half an hour later.
Chen Yu came to Class 2's martial arts practice field dejectedly. When he entered the small iron gate, he saw Duan Ye and the other two training hard, controlling their explosive strength.
"Brother Yu, you're back?"
Seeing Chen Yu, Duan Ye hurriedly ran over with Bahuang Yao and asked, "How is it? Did you advance to Level 2?"
"No."
"Ah?" Duan Ye was stunned.
"I didn't advance to Level 2," Chen Yu repeated.
"Why?"
"I feel that the difference in strength between us is too great," Chen Yu said in all seriousness. "If I also advanced to Level 2, wouldn't I crush you guys again?"
Bahuang Yao: "..."
Duan Ye: "..."
Chen Yu: "I was afraid that you guys would feel inferior, so I was prepared to stop at 1.9."
Bahuang Yao:"..."
Duan Ye: "Are you lying to a fool again?"
"Brother Yu," Bahuang Yao said weakly, "We understand your good intentions, but... You can't stop growing just to take care of our emotions."
Duan Ye looked Bahuang Yao up and down. "You're dumb, right? Do you believe whatever he says?"
"Uh..."
"Alright, don't worry about me. Hurry up and train." Chen Yu changed the topic. "Duan Ye, after you ate the pill, what's your strength level now?"
"2.2."
"What the f*ck, so strong?!" Chen Yu was shocked.
"Yeah, the effect of the Spirit Enhancing Pill is too strong." Duan Ye licked his lips as if he still wanted more. "I cut it into pieces and ate it. There's still half of it left in the dormitory."
"What about you?" Turning his head, Chen Yu looked at Bahuang Yao.
"I only ate half of it. I'm also at 2... 2.2 now."
"...Awesome."
Forgive Chen Yu's shallow culture, he could only blurt out one word to describe his mood...
After a brief conversation, Duan Ye and Bahuang Yao continued their training. Chen Yu sat on a chair in the corner and took out his phone to search.
He remembered that on the night he was plagued by the [Curse], he had searched for [How to lower a martial artist's cultivation].
He found three answers.
The first one was cigarettes.
The carbon monoxide alkaloids and heavy metals in cigarettes could affect the circulation of Qi. It was also the method he had been using to increase his strength in the beginning.
The second one was sex.
The hormone hypothesis; the Qi exchange hypothesis; the genetic hypothesis that humans had not evolved, etc. The more addicted he was, the faster his dantian would decrease. Due to the harsh conditions, as well as Chen Yu's unattractive personality, this method had never been used.
The third was poison!
Some poisons could even make a martial artist return to before liberation and become an ordinary person...
As everyone knew, the growth and consumption of Qi had to follow the rules of physics. There was a linear change from beginning to end.
And to be able to make a martial artist instantly become an ordinary person...
"The effect of that poison is definitely not to reduce Qi." Chen Yu narrowed his eyes. "It's to directly dissipate dantian."
"Then if it were me, wouldn't it be... Condensation?"
"It's just that this kind of thing is too difficult to find."
Poison that targeted martial artists was the most stringent prohibited item.
Even hiding it was a capital crime!
Previously, Chen Yu thought that the severe crackdown on poisons was to protect the entire group of martial artists.
However, after experiencing so much, his understanding of the entire world and society had deepened. He understood that the reason why the government was cracking down was because this kind of medicine could threaten the upper echelons.
Directly dissipating the dantian might cause fatal harm to martial artists above Level 7. Therefore, it was natural for poisons like this to be banned all over the world.
"Perhaps, only an extreme organization like the Fair Association has that kind of drug..."
With this thought in mind, Chen Yu's expression did not look too good.
Although he was the top scorer and an elite student of Beijing University, he was still in the lower-middle class in the entire Martial Arts World.
The possibility of coming into contact with the poison that even the upper class feared was almost zero.
Unless he revealed the secret of his [Curse] to the higher-ups of the school.
In that case, there would be no need to worry about the poison.
"..."
Putting down his phone, Chen Yu sighed. "Unless it's a last resort, this kind of choice is just a thought."
"..."
"The martial arts world is so big, and there are so many big shots. Is there really not a stupid professor who has studied how to 'disperse Qi'..."
"..."
"..."
"...Hmm?"
"Stupid professor?!"
The sudden blessing made a light bulb light up on Chen Yu's head.
"Stupid professor! Tsinghua University has it!"
...
Noon.
Tsinghua University, Professor's Villa Area.
Chen Yu's memory was good. He followed the pebble road to the left and walked quickly for five minutes before arriving at a villa in the corner of the villa area.
It was the same as before.
It was dusty and the tiles were worn out.
Taking off his mask, he walked to the door and knocked lightly.
Knock, knock!
There was no response from inside the house.
After waiting for a while, he knocked twice.
Knock, knock!
There was still no response.
"Professor?" Chen Yu shouted at the top of his voice, "Are you at home, Professor?"
The villa: "..."
"Professor Zhen! Professor Zhen Congming, are you at home?"
Pa!
The window on the second floor was suddenly pushed open, and an old man with messy hair poked his head out. "Who is it?"
"It's me." Chen Yu took a few steps back and waved at the second floor. "Professor, do you still recognize me?"
"You are... Xiao Chen? Chen Yu!" Zhen Congming was pleasantly surprised.
"It's me."
"Quick! Come into the house!" Zhen Congming was so excited that he couldn't control himself. He jumped down from the second floor and hugged Chen Yu.
"Chen Yu! You... You're finally here! You... I... Sob..."
Chen Yu panicked, "Professor Zhen... Professor Zhen, what are you doing? Why are you crying?"
"I... I'm wronged!" The old man was like a child. He opened his mouth and cried, "I'm wronged!"
"Calm down. Let's go inside first."
"Okay... Sob..."
With snot and tears, Zhen Congming was brought into the house by Chen Yu. After the door was closed, he cried more and more vigorously. He even cried so much that he rolled on the ground.
Standing behind the old man, Chen Yu patted his back and said gently, "Professor Zhen... Professor Zhen, what happened to you? Tell me."
"I'm Innocent!" Zhen Congming looked at Chen Yu with tears in his eyes and sobbed, "God gave me a lot of knowledge, but no one in Tsinghua University understands me. I'm still alive... What's the point?"
"Don't think too hard! Don't you have me? I understand you, Professor Zhen. Tell me what happened this month."
"I... I..."
Zhen Congming wiped his tears and rubbed them on Chen Yu's pants. Then, he calmed down, he said, "Last time, didn't I become enlightened because of your guidance? I vowed to create a martial technique with only flaws and no advantages! It will add to the research of others in the future."
"Did you fail?"
"I failed? Of course I succeeded! It was a huge success!" Zhen Congming was excited. "In just half a month, I created a martial technique with a 37% decrease in explosive power! It's called Leap of Faith, which is 24% more than I expected!"
"F*ck!" Chen Yu was shocked and gave him a thumbs up. "Awesome! Just like you said, it made up for the gap in our research field!"
"Yeah! Does it count as a great achievement?!"
"Of course!" Chen Yu patted his chest. "Even I, a student of Beijing University, can't wait to buy this martial technique, let alone your students."
"Are you sure you'll buy it?"
"I'm sure! If I lie, I'll be barren and have no children!"
"Look!" Zhen Congming was furious. "I told you that this martial technique has a high market value even if it's not for research!"
"Of course. How is it? Is the leader happy? Did he reward you?"
"He rewarded the motherf*cker!" Zhen Congming roared angrily, "I was kind enough to give him the martial technique, but he hung me up and beat me in public! There are so many people! So many people watching..."
"This... This..." Chen Yu was shocked and couldn't believe it. "Is your leader crazy?"
"He even called me crazy!"
"It's obvious. He must be crazy!" Chen Yu felt the same way. He was so angry that he shivered. "You studied such a powerful martial technique, but you were still beaten? Where is the justice? Where is the law? Where is human nature? Where is morality?"
"Wow!" Hearing this, Zhen Congming started to cry again. "I'm wronged..."
"Professor, let's not cry." Chen Yu hugged Zhen Congming. "You have to be strong. Why did the leader hit you? Don't let him do what he wants!"
"Ah?" Zhen Congming opened his mouth and wiped his tears, "Why did my leader hit me? I'm confused too."
"You're just confused by the situation."
Chen Yu explained angrily, "Think about it, this martial technique of yours has provided reverse support for the cultivation method research of the entire human race, and foreign students like me want to spend all my money to buy it... It proves that this is a good thing!"
"Yes!" Zhen Congming nodded.
"Then why did the leader hit you?"
"Why... Why?"
"Mr. Lu Xun once said that if you eliminate all the impossibilities, the rest is still possible even if it is impossible!" Chen Yu scowled, "Your leader... is jealous of you!"
Zhen Congming was shocked, "Jealous... Jealous of me..."
"Isn't that obvious? I'm just asking you, did the leader take this martial technique that you submitted?"
"He didn't take it..."
"Of course not. He was afraid that if he was accepted into the school library, it would attract the attention of a discerning person like me."
"That... makes sense."
"Let me ask you again." Chen Yu lowered his voice. "After your leader beat you up, what punishment did he give you?"
"He ordered me not to study any martial arts in the future."
"Too vicious." Chen Yu gnashed his teeth. "The most vicious way to deal with a genius is to kill his talent! Human nature... is too dark."
Hearing this, Zhen Congming gradually figured everything out in his mind. His anger rose from the bottom of his heart, and he roared with all his strength, "F*ck! F*ck your grandma!"
"Shh!" Chen Yu immediately covered Zhen Congming's mouth. "Professor Zhen, you have to calm down! As the saying goes, Han Xin can tolerate humiliation. If you fight with power now, you will die!"
"Then... Then what should I do?"
"Well... Let me think..."
Frowning and pondering for a long time, Chen Yu snapped his fingers. "Professor Zhen, didn't your leader stop you from researching?"
"Yes."
"Then you have to research! I have always believed that justice and light can not be covered by darkness. And talent and talent will eventually shine in the world! Think about Du Fu, think about Picasso, think about Vasily Grossman. You have to stand up and continue your research!"
Zhen Congming clenched his fists. "Of course I have to continue creating martial arts. Am I, a professor, going to sit around and wait for death if I don't do research?"
Clap, clap, clap, clap..
Chen Yu clapped so hard that his palms turned red.
"But... But..." Zhen Congming hesitated. "I'm grounded by the school and my salary has been cut. Without funds and resources... How can I do research?"
"Professor Zhen, you indeed have nothing. But..." Chen Yu's face was solemn and his eyes were solemn. "You have me."
Zhen Congming was stunned on the spot.
"Professor, although I'm just a humble student, I understand the importance of knowledge and the importance of a once-in-a-century genius like you."
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yu took out his phone. "No matter how poor I am, I can't be poor in research. Although I'm not rich, I still have some money. It may be a drop in the bucket, so don't mind it. I'll give it all to you!"
"..." Zhen Congming's lips quivered and his breath choked. The friction between his teeth revealed his shocked state of mind.
Pa!
He suddenly opened his arms and hugged Chen Yu tightly, his tears falling like rain, "Benefactor! You're not only my bole, you're also my benefactor! My benefactor..."
"Don't cry, professor. The end of the world is at hand. Mankind needs geniuses. You are indispensable. You must not be cowed by love."
"...I know."
Nodding his head heavily, Zhen Congming's eyes flashed with an unprecedented determination.
In this world, what could make people invincible?
Only the encouragement of comrades!
"Chen Yu." Zhen Congming took a deep breath. "I have decided to start the research today. This is the purpose of my existence. "I want to continuously create 'Inch Collapsing Fist' and 'Self-Destruction Immovable Body Explosion' so that all the professors in the world won't have any detours to take."
"What a great ambition."
"Then what should I study next?"
"Professor, I have a suggestion, but I don't know if it's mature."
"You're my comrade-in-arms and also my Bo Le. What you said must be right."
"Then..." Chen Yu moved closer to Zhen Congming's ear. "This time, let's study how to expand the sea of Qi in the dantian."
"Isn't... Isn't this lowering cultivation base?" Zhen Congming was shocked.
"Yeah. Who else could create such a godly skill to alert the world besides you?"
"...I understand. As long as the resources and experimental materials are available, give me half a month, and the results will definitely come out!"
"Okay. I'll send you two million. If it's not enough, I'll go get it."
"Chen Yu." Zhen Congming was about to cry again. "Thank you for everything, but you won't get anything."
"You won't get anything either, right?"
Chen Yu smiled. "What the world needs the most is nameless heroes like us..."
...
Twenty minutes later.
Under Zhen Congming's watchful gaze, Chen Yu left Tsinghua University with the martial technique book 'Leap of Faith' in his arms.
"Explosive power reduced by 37%..."
"Professor Zhen Congming, you're so smart...."
