Chapter 128 Basic Tempering Method

During the class, everyone familiarized themselves with the Basic Tempering Method. Their progress varied; a few were quite talented and gradually became skilled, while most couldn't grasp the knack and their movements were all out of shape.

Although the initial practice of martial arts wasn't difficult, it still depended on individual talent. Zhou Jing had a high comprehension of martial arts and already had a foundation, so he quickly found the trick and gradually entered a favorable state.

He compared it slightly and found that practicing the Basic Tempering Method wasn't as strenuous as practicing Hunter's Breath·Forge, but the tempering effect on the body was much better. After practicing a set, it felt like all his muscles and bones had undergone high-intensity training, with a comfortable feeling in the soreness.

Moreover, unlike when he finished practicing Hunter's Breath·Forge, he didn't quickly exhaust his strength, and still had a lot of energy left, meaning he could practice many more times each day, which was much more efficient.

He had gained experience and didn't keep it to himself, turning to guide his two best friends.

Zhang Xiao seemed to have ordinary aptitude in this area. He spent a lot of effort to barely practice the Basic Tempering Method once. Although he remembered it quite clearly, he always made mistakes when actually practicing it, with awkward movements. Although he had completed gene enhancement for several months, his coordination was still a big problem.

What surprised Zhou Jing a bit was Xu Lingyun. This kid learned quite fast. Without much guidance, he started practicing like a real expert, practicing with great joy.

However, on the ship, Zhou Jing had discovered that Xu Lingyun's physical talent was far higher than Zhang Xiao's, and he had already mastered the enhanced body very well…

At first, both of them were newbies, fighting inextricably, but after practicing for a while, Xu Lingyun's close combat skills had far surpassed Zhang Xiao's. He obviously had outstanding aptitude in martial arts.

The process of martial arts cultivation was measured in years, so one class naturally couldn't produce any results. Everyone knew the Basic Tempering Method and practiced for a while before class ended.

Because their "abilities were similar," Zhou Jing and his friends had many overlapping courses and rushed to various classrooms according to the schedule.

There were many courses on the first day. The three also took a firearms course, a driving course, and a cultural course on superpower users' self-awareness and social positioning, and gained a pile of textbooks to memorize.

The courses at the Superpower Academy were basically specialized knowledge not covered by compulsory education, so most freshmen were full of novelty and enthusiasm, as if they were all hard-working students determined to become strong.

After finishing the day's courses, Zhou Jing received another message, asking him to go to the Crown Faction's hall to receive private guidance from his mentor.

The three factions had their own venues and halls, used to hold various internal faction activities, or to provide some facilities for students of the faction to use first. They were also quite magnificent.

Tang Liu, Wu Fan, and the other nine Crown special selection freshmen also came here to receive tutoring, receiving guidance from different mentors according to their respective ability courses.

Because it was only the first day, the mentors of the Crown Faction didn't teach anything profound, but helped the freshmen to familiarize themselves with the introductory training methods of various systems as soon as possible.

Zhou Jing obtained some cultivation experience of the Basic Tempering Method from his mentor, which was quite beneficial.

After eating dinner in the evening and returning to the dormitory, Zhou Jing practiced the Basic Tempering Method several more times to consolidate what he had learned today.

With a strong physique as a backing, ample physical strength was enough to support practicing many times every day.

"It's a pity, my main body practices like a normal person. If I had the Star Realm Apostle's accelerated learning function, that would be great."

After finishing the last set of movements, Zhou Jing slowly exhaled, feeling a little regretful.

Knowing the cultivation methods of the main world meant that the apostles could also practice in this way in other dimensions, giving them one more path of power system than the natives.

If Jason could practice the martial arts Qi Flame system in the Otherworld Beast realm, his combat power would probably have taken off already… Of course, the main world's system is generally an advantage over the natives, but if it is discovered by the explorers, it will also cause a chain reaction, which has both advantages and disadvantages.

Moreover, the Star Realm Apostle has accelerated learning and extremely high training efficiency. If he transforms into an Eternal Apostle, he can also convert the cultivation results to the main body, and can completely obtain the accelerated cultivation benefits that others don't have through the Star Realm's time flow rate difference, getting twice the result with half the effort.

Unfortunately, the panel doesn't connect to any Star Realms yet and he can't travel through, so he can only temporarily suppress this constructive idea.

"However, although the Basic Tempering Method won't produce results in the short term, it's just right as an excuse for me to transform my abilities. After practicing for ten days or half a month, in the process of training martial arts, my own superpower will be catalyzed and stimulated, and promoted to a new level."

Zhou Jing thought while getting up to take a towel to wipe his sweat.

He picked up his phone and swiped through the group chat, and soon saw the four-person small group of best friends fighting with emoji.

After thinking about it, Zhou Jing @ed Li Xiaoyin and asked, "How was your practice today?"

Li Xiaoyin immediately replied: "It's okay, the teacher who taught me today pointed out a direction of cultivation for me. He said that my shock wave has great destructive power, and also has strong penetrating and permeating properties. The initial strength is extremely rare, but it is released using a range attack method, which causes a large part of the power to be dissipated. He thinks I should train my control, compress and condense the shock wave, and develop various new uses, such as releasing it through close contact."

Her superpower course was ability development. Because her superpower potential was extremely high, in-depth development of her own superpower was currently the most cost-effective for her, unlike physical enhancement, which requires other extraordinary systems to increase combat power.

The superpower cultivation route is actually quite simple in general, which is to increase the intensity, develop usage methods, and enhance control. The vast majority of superpowers are trained in these three directions, and then a wide variety of specific qualities are derived, such as release rate, reduce cooling time, distance, and so on.

"Release through close combat…"

Zhou Jing muttered in a low voice.

That kind of terrifying shock wave, if it is compressed and erupted on a small area of body contact, without any loss, and poured into the enemy's body…

Zhou Jing's mind suddenly flashed with the picture of the human body exploding into pieces like a balloon, and he shuddered.

This is the real touching means death, brushing means injury.

Zhou Jing couldn't help but send a message:

"Yin, promise me, if you succeed in this move, please be sure to test it on Lin Kun first."

"That's a must!"

……

In the next few days, Zhou Jing and others spent their days taking classes, receiving tutoring, and exercising. The days were simple and fulfilling, as if they had returned to the good old days of student life, feeling like they were absorbing nutrients every day, and growing every day.

Soon, the academy's hidden course, Explorer Training, finally ushered in its first class.

Zhou Jing and his friends walked into the classroom and saw many familiar faces at a glance. Many of the high-potential people came, all of them were freshmen who signed the treaty and agreed to become reserve explorers.

"There are really a lot of people." Zhang Xiao啧啧 said.

"If we really become explorers in the future, we might meet acquaintances in other worlds." Xu Lingyun was excited and fell into yearning.

Zhou Jing didn't interrupt and looked around. He found that the Chuunibyou teenager Tang Liu wasn't here. Basically everyone here was an adult.

After waiting for a while, a tall figure walked in and came to the podium gracefully. It was the vice president Shen Xinqin.

The students below stirred slightly.

Shen Xinqin looked at everyone with a smile, raised her hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then opened her red lips and smiled:

"Everyone should know me. I am the vice president of Chidu Superpower Academy, but I am also a formal member of the Exploration Bureau, with a formal military rank. I have served in multiple planes. I will also be in charge of this course this term."

Hearing this, everyone was in an uproar, and countless curious eyes gathered on her.

Zhou Jing's heart also moved.

With the combat power of a Level 5 superpower user, she has also served in other dimensions, probably not the Star Realm where the Otherworld Beast realm is located…

"Everyone is in contact with the business of Otherworld exploration for the first time. Today's class is mainly to give everyone a correct understanding of this."

Shen Xinqin operated on the podium a few times, and the screen behind her suddenly revealed the courseware.

She tapped the screen with her finger, looked at the curious faces, and said loudly:

"The history of Otherworld exploration can be traced back to hundreds of years ago. Scientists discovered the truth about the intersection of planes, and we realized the world outside the universe.

Scientists developed various technologies and mapped the laws of plane intersection in decades. With the birth of the shuttle device, the Otherworld exploration business officially began, and the profession of Explorer was born. In order to manage, the Exploration Bureaus of various countries were established in turn."

The people below listened attentively.

However, from the first sentence, Zhou Jing felt something was wrong, feeling that some key elements were missing.

Scientists discovered the plane intersection… but it was always the scientists of a certain country, right?

He felt that if a country had such a major discovery, it probably wouldn't share it easily.

The sentence "The Exploration Bureaus of various countries were established in turn" seemed normal, but there may be a huge amount of information mixed in the middle… Zhou Jing thought to himself.

However, Shen Xinqin didn't mean to explain in detail, but just brushed it over and continued:

"The Star Joint Community has planned the basic guidelines for Otherworld exploration, mainly based on covert exploration and friendly contact. It can interfere with the world development of the other plane to a certain extent, but cannot occupy a dominant position. It is necessary to hide its own activities as much as possible in the history of the other party.

The Exploration Bureaus of various countries basically abide by these basic guidelines, but in terms of specific actions, the ideas of the Exploration Bureaus of various countries are not unified. Sometimes they cooperate fully, sometimes they conflict, and they are not always at peace… While abiding by the exploration guidelines, explorers from various countries focus on the interests of their own Exploration Bureau, and occasionally there are bloody conflicts.

I understand everyone's curiosity about Otherworld exploration, but I must make everyone recognize the risks and understand that this is not a profession with only good things."

Hearing this, everyone quickly calmed down a lot.

Zhang Xiao blinked and muttered, "It sounds like a special agent."

"It feels like special agents, except that the targets of covert operations are other worlds." Xu Lingyun replied in a low voice.

At this time, Shen Xinqin looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice:

"Moreover, the challenges faced by explorers are more than that. Due to certain restrictions on the transportation of materials by the shuttle device, explorers often face survival pressure in other worlds.

Even, there may be conflicts with the natives in the course of performing tasks.

Don't underestimate the natives of other worlds. Some planes also master extraordinary abilities. If you are not careful, you may sacrifice in a strange other world.

For example, half a year ago, a primitive civilization plane intersected with the main world. That world has an extraordinary ability similar to gene enhancement, and there are many beasts with strange abilities, which the natives call ‘Otherworld Beasts’. The main world has intersected with it before, and it is not the first time to enter it.

Because that plane has a very low threat level and value, and is familiar with the environment, the explorers sent by various countries are all Level 1 and 2 grassroots ability users, hiding and collecting information. There shouldn't have been any casualties.

But unexpectedly, a male explorer from another country was killed head-on by the natives. His death was quite tragic. It is said that his lower body was stirred into a mess with a sharp weapon, and he couldn't even see the shape. In the end, he was killed by the natives… This shows the ferocity and danger of the natives."

At this point, Shen Xinqin sighed and shook her head.

Everyone was horrified.

"He died so miserably. The natives are too cruel. They are simply egg hunters!" Xu Lingyun gasped.

Zhang Xiao swallowed and murmured, "So it's so dangerous. Why didn't you say it before I signed the agreement? I feel like I was cheated… I wonder if I can go back on my word?"

Li Xiaoyin rolled her eyes: "Look at your worthless look. I knew there was danger when I signed it, okay? Otherwise, why would we superpower users go there? Wouldn't it be enough to just find some ordinary people?"

The three whispered and discussed in low voices.

Beside them, Zhou Jing's expression gradually became strange.

This matter… why does it sound so familiar?

He was 80% sure that Shen Xinqin's "native" was probably his apostle "Jason"…

Good fellow, did this event not only spread in the Otherworld Beast realm, but also become popular in the main world?!

At this time, Xu Lingyun poked Zhou Jing in the kidney and asked curiously: "I see you have no reaction. We may face such outrageous natives in the future. Aren't you afraid?"

Zhou Jing's mouth twitched, and his tone was complicated:

“…I'm too afraid.”
