38: Chapter 38: Body Tempering Technique Perfected, Cultivation Soars!

Pain is, in essence, a type of sensory information transmitted to the brain by pain receptors.

By offloading this sensory information to [All-Things Calculation] and letting it pile up in the background without processing it, Chen Moxuan could achieve the effect of blocking pain.

Apart from the initial jolt of electric arcs that caught him off guard, the subsequent electric shocks felt, in his perception, like a gentle breeze blowing past; he could not feel the slightest bit of pain.

Furthermore, while continuously enduring the electric shocks, Chen Moxuan suddenly realized that his Mental Energy was recovering at an astonishing speed!

His original Mental Energy had been depleted to a mere 20 points, and due to the influence of nightmares, his sleep had provided no relaxation, resulting in a recovery of only 3 points upon waking.

Yet, within just one minute of electric shocks, his Mental Energy had already recovered to 35 points, exceeding the rate at which he consumed his Special Ability.

Such a good opportunity was not one Chen Moxuan would let slip by, so he seized the chance to continue parsing the Body Refinement Method.

[Parsing Body Refinement Method, remaining time: 13 minutes and 36 seconds]

After blocking the pain, Chen Moxuan felt that these electrical currents were stimulating his Soul, causing his Soul to continuously strengthen.

However, he soon realized that the other party was here to torture him; if they were to notice that the electrical currents were beneficial and harmless to him, and subsequently stopped the electric shocks, that would be unfortunate.

Consequently, Chen Moxuan immediately plastered an exaggerated expression on his face, twisting his features and letting out bursts of feigned painful groans, beginning an incredibly melodramatic performance.

However, how could Yang Shan, who had seen the pained expressions of countless people, fail to recognize such clumsy acting?

Yang Shan only felt that Chen Moxuan was provoking him; his bloodshot eyes seemed to be spewing fire, and this feeling of being fooled made him feel an unprecedented sense of insult.

"Damn it! Turn it up to the maximum for me!" Yang Shan yelled at the top of his lungs, roaring hoarsely.

"Maximum?" Upon hearing this, the Dean's face flashed with a hint of hesitation.

Up until now, no one had ever lasted more than two seconds at half power, let alone full power.

"Shut up and just do as I say!"

The Dean dared not say another word; gritting his teeth, he steeled himself and slammed the lever controlling the electric chair's power on the console all the way to the bottom.

In an instant, the electric arcs released by the ring exploded, instantly transforming into a surging, torrential display of electricity.

The blue light was incredibly blinding, like a small blue sun exploding above Chen Moxuan's head, swallowing his face in a split second and causing the surrounding air to sizzle and pop.

Were it not for the unique nature of the current, Chen Moxuan would likely have been instantly reduced to charcoal.

Under such powerful current, his Mental Energy recovery speed increased several times over.

"Then I'll use Overclocking Calculation." Chen Moxuan's gaze sharpened.

If one wanted to double the calculation speed, the Mental Energy consumed would be nearly double the usual amount, and the greater the acceleration, the more the Mental Energy consumption would increase at a geometric rate.

Unless it was a life-or-death moment, Overclocking Calculation had little practical value.

But at this moment, with Mental Energy recovering rapidly like a gushing well, it provided ample fuel for Overclocking Calculation; such an excellent opportunity could not be missed.

[Calculation speed increased to X3]

[Parsing Body Refinement Method, remaining time: 4 minutes and 32 seconds]

On the surveillance screen, one could see the blinding electric light, and Chen Moxuan's body shook violently, his limbs convulsing uncontrollably.

The Dean subconsciously licked his dry lips and couldn't help but advise:

"Should we lower the power a bit? If this continues... I don't know if the institution's power supply can hold up."

This type of current, converted by a special device, was called Ethereal Spirit Electricity; it required consuming several times the amount of electricity to convert, and it had never been operated at full power for a long period before.

"Then turn off all other equipment." Yang Shan's eyes were bloodshot as he stared fixedly at the screen.

"Before he lets out his first scream, do not stop!"

Upon hearing this, the Dean's hands began operating rapidly on the console.

The equipment in all other rooms stopped running, and all other surveillance screens were turned off, leaving only the monitor for the room where Chen Moxuan was located.

Just like that, Yang Shan and the Dean held their breath, staring at the screen without blinking as time ticked away second by second.

One minute... two minutes... three minutes... four minutes, until...

[Body Refinement Method parsing complete]

At this moment, Martial Youth, the Body Refinement Method known as the bible for Martial Artist initiates, was completely parsed by Chen Moxuan, and countless insights flooded in like a tide.

"So that's how it is... I think I'm gradually understanding everything."

The so-called Body Refinement Method is a technique where a Martial Artist uses specific movements to guide the power of their qi and blood within their body to temper their Physical Body.

But when Chen Moxuan's understanding of the Body Refinement Method reached the realm of Perfection, he no longer needed to use movements to guide it.

With just a thought, the qi and blood power within his body would automatically begin to temper his Physical Body.

Every thread of qi and blood was utilized perfectly, without a single bit of waste; both the tempering efficiency and speed far exceeded what they were before.

And just as he was operating the Body Refinement Method at Perfection, with the qi and blood power tempering his Physical Body, a sudden change occurred.

The rampaging electric current seemed, at this moment, to form some sort of mysterious connection with Chen Moxuan's body.

Under the stimulation of the current, the tempering speed of Chen Moxuan's qi and blood became faster and faster, finally racing through his body like an unbridled wild horse.

And the medicinal power of the grade a blood qi essence that had already been assimilated into his body replenished at a speed far exceeding the past, instantly restoring the consumed qi and blood.

Not only that, but in the process of qi and blood continuously tempering his Physical Body, threads of electric current quietly poured into Chen Moxuan's body, being absorbed and assimilated by his body.

The grade a blood qi essence, the Body Refinement Method at Perfection, and the Ethereal Spirit Electricity—these three seemed to form a kind of chemical reaction at this moment.

But what followed was a pain that pierced deep into his Soul, one that even [All-Things Calculation] could not block.

This pain was like thousands of steel needles piercing straight into the depths of his Soul, and every stab made his consciousness tremble.

"Aaaaah!" Heart-wrenching roars suddenly erupted from Chen Moxuan's mouth.

Seeing this scene in the surveillance room, an extremely excited expression appeared on Yang Shan's face, and he laughed wildly: "That's it, that's it, exactly like this! Hahahaha."

"Alright, you can turn it off."

But after a while, Yang Shan noticed that the surveillance screen was still flashing with lightning, so he turned his head in confusion and demanded: "Didn't I say you could turn it off?"

The Dean, with a face full of terror, pointed his trembling finger at the lever that had long since returned to its original position, and said while staring at the screen with a trembling voice:

"I already turned it off... but it seems to have malfunctioned."

Immediately after, as if the Dean had discovered something terrifying, he widened his eyes and screamed:

"No, that's not right, he is actively absorbing the electricity!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the electric light on the screen suddenly surged, filling the entire surveillance screen in the blink of an eye.

The electric chair's power reading soared rapidly, already far exceeding the limit the equipment could withstand, and the entire screen was illuminated like daylight by the blinding blue light.

Chen Moxuan gritted his teeth tightly, his face twisted and deformed by pain.

He could feel the medicinal power within his body being absorbed at an astonishing speed.

At the same time, the strength of his qi and blood was climbing frantically at a terrifyingly extreme speed.

First Realm, Eighth Stage... Ninth Stage...

As the current and medicinal power were rapidly absorbed, Chen Moxuan's cultivation skyrocketed all the way to Perfection of the Blood Accumulation Realm!

With a "pop," the surveillance screen suddenly plunged into a deathly silence of darkness without any warning.

The already claustrophobic surveillance room was instantly swallowed by thick, ink-like darkness, where one could not even see their own hand.

"Did the power go out?" Yang Shan said in disbelief.

However, before Yang Shan could recover from his shock, a violent tremor suddenly came from the ground beneath his feet.

Immediately following a loud "boom," a beam of intense blue light, so blinding it was almost searing, instantly broke through the floor and shot upwards, illuminating the entire room.

Amidst the intense light, a figure slowly emerged.

It was none other than Chen Moxuan.

At this moment, his entire body was wrapped in rampant electric arcs, his hair standing on end, glowing with blue electrical light, as if he were a Heavenly God.

His eyes were sharp as knives, staring fixedly at Yang Shan, killing intent surging within them:

"I said it before... you will be the first one I cripple."

As the words fell, Yang Shan only felt a flash of blue light before his eyes and subconsciously blinked.

A hand covered in electrical light had already appeared before him, firmly gripping his face.
