Your skills are excellent, and now I have them too.

Chapter 27 I also broke through the realm.

Lu Zhao looked up at the pale pink "sky," which was actually a protective shield. After a few days, he understood his current situation.

This enormous, Kun-shaped transport ship was currently in space, only concealed by a protective shield. The entire voyage was smooth; without a care in the world, it felt just like being on land.

Lu Zhao was actually very curious about what the outside world was like, because although he was in the universe now, it was not like what he had seen in movies and documentaries before he transmigrated. Specifically, there was something called the "Void Sea" in the universe of this world.

I don't know why it was named "Sea". If we have to use ships and water to describe interstellar travel, then this thing is more like a river.

However, if we were to accurately describe the shape of the Void Sea, it would actually resemble an ant nest.

The universe is the soil, and the Void Sea is a ready-made passage that has already been dug out. If you try to travel through interstellar space without going through the Void Sea, it's like an ant digging and moving forward in a place full of soil, which is very slow.

The Void Sea is an existing passageway. Sailing through it can greatly shorten the time to traverse the same distance. A journey of thousands of light-years can be completed in just a few months.

For Lu Zhao, the most bizarre thing was that although the travel time was shortened, the travel speed did not exceed the speed of light, which did not apply to any phenomena and effects of relativity such as length contraction, time dilation, and mass increase.

This matter is completely inconsistent with the laws of physics on Earth. Not only could he not understand it, but even no scholar in the Imperial Ministry of Works could fully explain it and could only make use of it.

In short, the Qin Empire's expansion of territory was built upon the vast, boundless ocean of the universe.

Lu Zhao couldn't help but wander around for another ten minutes before returning to the dormitory. He found that his two roommates, besides Shi Jian, had already returned. The two of them had laid out a practice mat on the ground and were sitting cross-legged on it like two little monks, trying out the martial arts manuals they had just learned.

"June 1st, did you successfully guide your Qi into your body?"

Murong Can's attention was not focused; he opened his eyes as soon as he heard someone return.

This was the new nickname he gave Lu Zhao, mocking his talent score, which was the lowest in the dormitory, at only 61 points.

Because of his honesty, he doesn't come across as contemptible or disrespectful.

"You succeeded, and you even completed a major meridian cycle." Lu Zhao gave him a malicious smile with a sidelong glance.

"Heh, impossible."

Sure enough, Murong Can didn't believe it at all, "Even I, a genius with 73 points, am still half a step away from success."

Lu Zhao remained noncommittal. He took out the training mat that had been issued to him from the cabinet, threw it on the ground, and sat down. Just as he was about to start cultivating, the 73 Little Gods next to him started making noise again.

"You really succeeded?" Murong Can asked, half-believing.

Lu Zhao grew impatient: "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Murong Can said, "No~ isn't it because the top two hundred students can attend private lessons with the instructors? Everyone is in a hurry right now."

"No need to rush. We've only just started teaching the martial arts manual today. Some people are lucky, have quick reflexes, or strong reading comprehension, which can affect the speed at which they successfully draw qi into their bodies. But even if they succeed, it's just the beginning. To reach the Warrior Realm, they still need to go through repeated refinement."

Lu Zhao shared his understanding, which was all taught to him by Zhou Changsheng.

However, Murong Can was still anxious: "Entering the Warrior Realm is not easy, but it's not difficult either. If you act quickly, it can be done in no more than a day or two. But Liu Yi, have you thought about this? There are several thousand people in our batch."

The number of new recruits was certainly more than a few thousand, but they were divided into different batches of several thousand each.

Lu Zhao pondered for a moment, then said knowingly, "I understand. You mean there are many competitors, and everyone will be training all night to compete for a spot."

"Yes! Tell me, how can we not be anxious?"

"Haha, okay, then let's rush and get started practicing."

Breaking through a realm is certainly not something that can be accomplished overnight, except for the transition from an ordinary person to a warrior. After all, this is only equivalent to a preschool class. Being able to refine a breath of spiritual energy into internal energy and keep it in the meridians is considered a success, and the difficulty is indeed not high.

Lu Zhao said he was in a hurry, but he wasn't actually that anxious, since he had quite a few things to rely on.

Sit up with your eyes closed and start cheating.

Quick Thinking Lv2, activated.

In an instant, his mind became crystal clear, and the words of the martial arts manual and all the details of the "body strengthening method" appeared in his mind.

The first step, the second step—everything can be planned in an orderly manner.

With the aid of a special breathing method called "Strengthening the Body," a single deep breath allows a wisp of spiritual energy to enter the meridians.

Next....

Qi Sensitivity Level 2, activated.

At this moment, Lu Zhao seemed to see the path of his meridians in his mind. This was an illusion because his sensitive energy allowed him to clearly grasp the direction of that energy and generate an image. However, this was just a product of his brain's intuitive processing with the help of two special skills, and it did not actually exist.

Using this special skill is like having X-ray vision in a game; the development of the situation is clear at a glance.

So, the final step, Computing Power Burst Level 3, is activated!

This ability is essentially a specialization in computational skills, a special skill of one of the three legendary figures in the workshop. That old engineer was most proficient in laying complex circuits and skilled in handcrafting precision equipment.

The jet propulsion equipment on the Imperial Martial Arts Technology Tree was originally derived from the human body's meridians, so it can be said that the human body is the most sophisticated piece of equipment.

If the sensitivity to internal energy is like seeing through objects, then the burst of computational power is like automatic aiming, allowing Lu Zhao to easily calculate the optimal trajectory of the internal energy.

Because it is more specialized than quick thinking, the calculation process is smoother and the results are more accurate.

After completing the three steps, the wisp of spiritual energy quickly began to circulate within the meridians. Next, it was time for the skilled practitioner to repeatedly rub the energy together, retaining the vital energy and strengthening the meridians.

......

Under the light curtain, the lights were bright.

Lu Zhao and Murong Can were right. Tonight, a large number of new recruits were training in their dormitories, showing no sign of sleeping.

In the Qin army, where everyone was vying for power, everyone accepted the situation as a matter of course.

Even so, only a very small number of people are truly interested in vying for the Cleansing Pill; most people are simply competing for the opportunity to be taught face-to-face by the instructor.

Clearly, the soldiers on night patrol were aware of the situation tonight. They tacitly approved of the lights not being turned off and the occasional voices that could be heard, except for smoking under the streetlights. They would only reprimand someone if the noise was too loud.

And so, after several rounds of smoke, dawn broke.

In dormitory 409, all four beds were empty because everyone was on the practice mats.

Become!

Introduce Qi into the body.

Murong Can opened his eyes in surprise.

It took him a whole night to successfully draw the spiritual energy into his body, but the good news was that on his first attempt, he managed to guide the spiritual energy through his body for a full cycle, instead of letting it dissipate after only a little while, as many people do.

With this level of efficiency, it's possible to compete for a place in the top 200.

He instinctively wanted to show off to his roommates, but he stopped himself after taking a breath, not wanting to disturb their cultivation.

So he cautiously looked to the side.

"Holy crap, Stone, you're smoking!"

He saw that Shi Jian was surrounded by a white mist, like a lime stone just taken out of a sauna, which made him not dare to touch it.

I'm afraid of getting burned.

Shi Jian kept his eyes closed, but replied, "I have entered the Warrior Realm."

!!!

Yang Guangming, who was eavesdropping nearby, also opened his eyes.

"Really? Really?"

Murong Can stammered, not really asking a question, but the white mist emanating from him already said it all.

Not everyone who breaks through to the Warrior Realm for the first time and officially becomes a martial artist will emit smoke, but those who haven't broken through will definitely not emit smoke.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at Lu Zhao, his best friend in the dormitory, and then he was shocked.

"He's so calm, he doesn't even open his eyes to look?"

Murong Can nudged Lu Zhao with her finger: "June 1st?"

Then he saw Lu Zhao lean over crookedly, close his eyes, touch his thigh with his hand, and lie down as if he had found a comfortable pillow.

"Oh, she was asleep!"

"Wake up! Get up and cultivate! There's no time left, even the Stone Realm has broken through!"

"Don't make a sound."

Lu Zhao, still groggy, slapped his hand away, saying, "I'm broken too."
