285: Kaka is cultivation

Professor Gu Xinrou explained, "Jian Tong's lightning Martial Skill can be understood as a mutation of bioelectricity, where True Qi simulates and transforms the properties of electric current."

"However, the source of electricity for this Martial Skill is not True Qi!"

Shen Bei's mouth slightly opened, his face filled with a dazed confusion: "Not True Qi? Then what could it be?"

Professor Gu Xinrou took a deep breath and said, "It comes from the lightning of nature. According to the records in the Martial Skill, to Cultivate this Martial Skill, one needs a place of Falling Thunder to receive the infusion of lightning current into the body, and then release it when needed. This is the ultimate form of Magnetic Pole Cyclone Yuan Skill."

"And on Earth, there is simply no such place. It seems one can only go to the Fifth Dimension."

"This is a difficult place to Cultivate. The Fifth Dimension is not human territory. Even if you find a place of Falling Thunder, you will be harassed by Stranger, making it impossible to concentrate on Cultivating."

"Therefore, in the books, the Seniors proposed many possible ways to Cultivate. In my opinion, the most reliable introductory method of Cultivation is to receive electrical current infusion and stimulation, allowing every cell in the body to accept the impact of electric current as naturally as drinking water."

"But this is simply impossible. A small current is useless, and a large current, the heart simply cannot withstand."

"This Martial Skill was then judged to be dead—wait."

At this point, Professor Gu Xinrou suddenly remembered, and her mouth dropped open as she looked at Shen Bei, her expression as if she had seen a ghost.

Complex emotions flickered in her eyes, then subsided, and a clear light once again filled her eyes: "I, I remember you. You seem to be..."

Shen Bei grinned: "Teacher is indeed a Teacher; she has opened up new avenues for my Cultivation."

Hiss~~

Professor Gu Xinrou suddenly gasped, staring at him unblinkingly: "If I'm not mistaken, you seem to be immune to electricity!"

That's right!

Professor Gu Xinrou remembered.

Back when they were at Lingnan City Martial Arts University, Shen Bei somehow got into a conflict with the Shepherd, Yin Hong.

To this day, Professor Gu Xinrou still doesn't know what Shen Bei discovered to unearth the Headhunter Tribe's Shepherd.

But that's not important.

What's important is that Yin Hong at that time was similar to Jian Tong; both were lightning-element Martial Artists!

It could be said that Yin Hong's control over electricity far surpassed Jian Tong's by dozens of streets!

And under such electrical attacks, Shen Bei was completely unharmed!

From this, it can be concluded that Shen Bei is immune to electricity.

His Fifth Dimension Attribute was off the charts!

Now, looking at it, if one were to start Cultivating Magnetic Pole Cyclone Yuan Skill through electrical stimulation, it seems that only Shen Bei could achieve it!

A dead skill... was brought back to life by Shen Bei!

"What a freak!"

Professor Gu Xinrou mumbled.

Now, Professor Gu Xinrou understood.

Back when Shen Bei was in high school, it wasn't that he had no attribute values; rather, all his attribute values went to his Fifth Dimension Attribute.

And the testing equipment could only detect four-dimensional attributes, so on the surface, Shen Bei appeared to be a good-for-nothing.

But who would have thought that Shen Bei's Fifth Dimension Attribute was overflowing the screen!

Thinking of this, Professor Gu Xinrou felt a pang of fear. Fortunately, Shen Bei's four-dimensional attributes exploded at the last moment of the Martial Arts Exam, allowing him to get into a Martial Arts University.

Otherwise, if Shen Bei had failed the exam and become a street bum, and his four-dimensional attributes had exploded one day, the consequences would be unimaginable.

He might have become a major independent villain comparable to the Headhunter Tribe or the Weather Evil Cult.

At the same time, Professor Gu Xinrou also realized, through Shen Bei's example, that the current Martial Arts Exam might have flaws.

It shouldn't solely rely on four-dimensional attributes for admission to Martial Arts Universities.

It should also take into account the mysterious Fifth Dimension Attribute, and more effort should be made to discover students outstanding in this area to become Martial Artists.

Otherwise, students like Shen Bei would simply be overlooked.

No sooner said than done!

Professor Gu Xinrou turned and left, planning to write her ideas into a PPT and submit it to the Ministry of Education for Martial Arts Exam reform.

"Hey, hey!"

Shen Bei watched Professor Gu Xinrou leave inexplicably and quickly called out a few times: "I have an idea, but where do I start! This book is all messed up!"

Professor Gu Xinrou oh'd, returned a few steps, opened the book, found a few later pages, and circled them with a red pen: "The Seniors proposed several ideas, but this Senior's approach is good. Under the stimulation of electric current, first Cultivate the Lightning Yuan Mind-Cultivation Technique."

"Actually, it's about forming a magnetic field in the Dantian. I'll make some improvements."

Professor Gu Xinrou scribbled a few notes: "Follow this method first. If it doesn't work, come find me again."

With that, Professor Gu Xinrou tossed her hair and hurried away.

Shen Bei: ...

I really want to give you a bad review. You're not even staying to Cultivate with me?

You weren't like this before.

Shen Bei rolled his eyes.

He climbed over the wall to leave the Martial Arts University and returned to the military base.

As an important military location, the military base's infrastructure, whether it's electricity or network, is top-notch.

Shen Bei went to Bai Wei's office, greeted her, and applied for electricity usage.

Bai Wei, full of confusion, asked, "Do you, do you have an idea?"

Shen Bei's brows relaxed: "My Teacher came to the rescue, worth two! It was sorted out and revived in minutes."

Bai Wei's eyes widened slightly, as if very surprised: "Really?"

"Never mind that. I might use a lot of electricity."

"Who is your Teacher?"

No, are we talking about the same thing... Shen Bei coughed: "I said, my electricity consumption might be high."

"I'll go check myself." Bai Wei responded incoherently.

Shen Bei didn't care anymore.

The words were already out; any problems with the circuit afterward were not his business.

And in Bai Wei's opinion, how much electricity could one use?

A 220V shock, and you'd be numb too. Use as much as you want.

Anyway, the country is paying for it.

After Shen Bei left, he returned to the basement, opened the distribution box, and saw that all the voltages were 220V.

"Let's test the effect with 220V first."

Immediately, Shen Bei pulled down the circuit breaker, found some wires, connected them to the live and neutral lines, and placed the ends aside.

Shen Bei opened the book and began to study the pages Professor Gu Xinrou had pointed out.

Professor Gu Xinrou's modifications were minor, an optimization based on the Seniors' work.

"Lightning Yuan Mind-Cultivation Technique."

According to the description in the Mind-Cultivation Technique, the first step is to summon lightning into the body.

This requires being in a place of Falling Thunder.

But now, the alternative is electric wires.

Then there's refining the Lightning Yuan, integrating it back to its origin, and so on.

It's terribly troublesome.

No wonder the Seniors had headaches.

However, for Shen Bei, this was no problem at all.

Just Cultivate!

Shen Bei sat on the soft cushion, immediately adopting the meditation posture for "Magnetic Pole Cyclone Yuan Skill," preparing to Cultivate.

"I wonder if it will be difficult to Cultivate." Shen Bei took a deep breath: "With one head on a neck, if Stranger can Cultivate, so can I!"

Shen Bei held his breath, gradually clearing his mind of distractions, holding two wires in his hands.

Crack, crack...

Electric sparks began to arc from his fingertips.

Actually, for a Martial Artist, this intensity of current would not cause any harm.

But... one thing cannot be ignored.

That is time!

For a short time, a Martial Artist can ignore it due to their powerful Physique.

But once this time is prolonged, the Martial Artist's disadvantage becomes apparent.

Even a 220V current, if it runs wildly through the body for a long time, will burn internal organs and pose a fatal threat.

It's like poisoning; whether it's poisonous depends on the dosage.

If you let Shen Bei drink poison like water every day, he would indeed be fine.

But poison cannot provide the water the human body needs, and without drinking water, one would die regardless.

The same principle applies to electric current; other Martial Artists simply cannot withstand prolonged exposure to electric current.

But Shen Bei had no problem; he was completely immune. It just depended on whether the military base's transformer could handle it.

Gradually, under the imperceptible stimulation of electric current, Shen Bei slowly entered a state of meditation.

After activating the Mind-Cultivation Technique.

Shen Bei could feel that those electric currents, guided by the Mind-Cultivation Technique, continuously flowed around his heart within his body.

Exhale...

Inhale...

Ten minutes later, the limit of ordinary Martial Artists had no effect on Shen Bei.

Three hours later.

Shen Bei, in meditation, found that faint, almost imperceptible currents gradually rose from his abdomen. With each clear cycle of the current, it grew stronger, and its circulation speed also increased by a few points!

"It's really effective!"

Shen Bei suddenly opened his eyes, which glowed brightly.

In the recent attempt, Shen Bei clearly noticed that the operation of "Magnetic Pole Cyclone Yuan Skill" was like an engine with added fuel. The efficiency of current circulation and its growth had significantly improved.

"Refining Lightning Yuan, refining Lightning Yuan..."

Shen Bei, following the description in the Lightning Yuan Mind-Cultivation Technique, gained some insight:

"Refining Lightning Yuan is about gathering and condensing electric current, and then using it to nourish the body in a more active and efficient way, strengthening oneself endlessly!"

It's as if before the refining of Lightning Yuan is complete, the body's operation and the work of muscles and bones are like the efficiency of a rickshaw puller; after the refining of Lightning Yuan is complete, the human body is like it has evolved directly from human power to steam mechanical power, with an essential difference as vast as heaven and earth.

As the electric current circulated, Shen Bei's lower Dantian area seemed to transform into a small furnace, with smoke rising and Qi fully activated. Waves of warmth traveled through his limbs and bones, sweeping across his entire body, and then all were absorbed by the continuously circulating Dantian, allowing it to grow at a visible speed.

Five hours later.

When he felt the small furnace in his abdomen undergo a sharp transformation, as if it had become a rotor generator.

Shen Bei opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing within them.

Shen Bei clenched his fists, and a faint crackling sound of electricity could be heard.

Under five hours of continuous electrical stimulation, the effect was remarkable!

Refining Lightning Yuan, complete!

This was something other Martial Artists couldn't even imagine, and even Stranger would be astonished by it.

Five hours of electric shock, only a freak like Shen Bei could withstand it!

And when Alien Cultivate this Mind-Cultivation Technique, they can only receive the less powerful lightning strikes on the outskirts of a place of Falling Thunder, and then immediately Cultivate the Mind-Cultivation Technique while the current is still in their body.

Only by consuming time step by step in this manner can they achieve the refining of Lightning Yuan.

But Shen Bei...

Under his immunity to electricity, he advanced rapidly, Cultivating with ease!

His main characteristic was his ferocity.

A staggering Cultivation progress!

After a short rest.

Shen Bei began to Cultivate the next item: Integrating back to the Origin!

He would not rest until he had mastered the Lightning Yuan Mind-Cultivation Technique!
