Chinese Superman

"This method can be practiced by everyone, and the great way is simple. It aims to draw in the spiritual matter that permeates the world, guide it along the meridians, temper one's skin, flesh, bones, and muscles, nourish one's spirit and consciousness, strengthen the foundation and cultivate the source, and make it solid and unyielding, so as to strengthen the fundamental source of qi, blood and spirit."

Master Zhang paused briefly before giving a more specific and exciting promise: "Those who cultivate this method can strengthen their origins, allowing their special abilities to steadily increase and break through their limitations; those who wield weapons can solidify their foundations, greatly reducing or even avoiding the backlash from the relics, so that they can more easily and for longer control the power of the relics in the future, without any worries."

Xia Xinghan was deeply shaken.

Good guy!

This old Taoist priest has actually created a new cultivation method!

In an era of spiritual revival, the significance of the "Zhou Tian Hun Yuan Wu Ji Gong" is immense!

This laid the first cornerstone for the entire cultivation path in China!

Teacher Li, standing nearby, chimed in at the opportune moment, his tone filled with respect and pride: "The 'Zhou Tian Hun Yuan Wu Ji Gong' created by Master Zhang is profound and mysterious, its principles are obscure and difficult to understand, so the threshold for cultivation is extremely high, requiring a very deep foundation in Taoist philosophy and a high level of comprehension. Master Zhang deeply felt that if this method were limited to only a few people, it would not be of much significance to the country and its people, so he selflessly handed it over to the state."

Xia Xinghan nodded in deep agreement.

According to Teacher Li, if one wants to cultivate the "Zhou Tian Hun Yuan Wu Ji Gong", one probably has to thoroughly study the vast "Daoist Canon" several times.

"So, over the past three months..."

Teacher Li's gaze swept across the entire class, her voice ringing out powerfully: "The nation mobilized its top resources, bringing together masters of traditional Chinese culture and metaphysics, leading figures in cutting-edge medicine, authorities on human potential development, experts in high-energy physics and field theory, and the most outstanding supercomputer modeling team. Using Zhang Zhenren's techniques as a blueprint, and combining them with the most advanced modern scientific theories and ergonomics, they conducted an unprecedented, systematic study, analysis, deciphering, simplification, and optimization!"

"The goal is to create a safe, efficient, and universally applicable basic cultivation method that can ultimately be practiced by the entire nation!"

"And we, the Kaitian Class, as the future pillars of the nation, are fortunate to be the first practitioners and testers of this 'Basic Spirit Forging Method (First Edition)'!"

These words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up a storm in the hearts of all the trainees!

Cultivation for all!!

What a magnificent blueprint this is! What a bold and ambitious undertaking!

Xia Xinghan sat in the baby chair, his bright blue eyes sparkling, deeply moved.

This is... the power of the state apparatus!

"While I'm eating, drinking, defecating, and sleeping, this behemoth is operating with astonishing efficiency in places I can't see."

"From discovering the resurgence of spiritual energy, collecting and studying relics, and establishing the system of weapon wielders, to now, even the systematic cultivation methods have been simplified to the point where they can be piloted and promoted!"

Xia Xinghan suddenly felt a little fortunate. If his adoptive parents hadn't handed him over to the state, he would probably still be bullying geese and dogs in the mountains, staring blankly at the sky.

Where can one access these cutting-edge secrets and enjoy these top-tier resources?

As his thoughts raced, Teacher Li gestured to two staff members in white uniforms to move a rather heavy-looking silver briefcase to the side of the podium.

"Click."

With a crisp click of the latch opening, the heavy lid of the combination lock case was slowly lifted.

In an instant, light shone brightly, and an indescribable wave of pure energy spread out like invisible ripples, instantly filling the entire classroom.

Inside the box, carefully secured with special soft compartments, are neatly arranged pieces of "stones," each about the size of a thumb, irregularly shaped, yet crystal clear.

They come in various colors, mainly milky white, light blue, and pale yellow, emitting a faint glow, as if a misty haze of light is slowly flowing inside, making them exquisitely beautiful.

It is indeed a spirit stone!

"Wow……"

Many students gasped in surprise, their eyes burning with excitement.

Most of them had only heard of the existence of such strategic resources, and today they were shocked to witness such a quantity in person.

"As you can see, this is a spirit stone, the most efficient known condensation of spiritual matter," Teacher Li said, pointing to the spirit stone in the box. "The spiritual matter in the world is still in a diffuse and sparse state, and direct absorption is very inefficient. The spirit stone is a natural 'high-density spiritual energy storage unit'."

"Based on current research on the spiritual energy recovery process, once the second stage is entered, the concentration of spiritual energy in the world will increase significantly. At that time, even without relying on spirit stones, cultivation will be much easier."

"But at this stage—"

Teacher Li said sternly, "Spirit stones remain the most important cultivation resource, without exception!"

He then announced news that made all the students' hearts race: "In the Opening Heaven Class, each student will receive three standard spirit stones per month, provided free of charge by the state, to support the cultivation of the Basic Spirit Forging Method."

Three pieces! Free!

Xia Xinghan immediately recalled the words of the old village chief, Li Defu—"That girl Cuilan found four spirit stones, and the state awarded her 400,000!"

A single spirit stone is valued at 100,000 in the market!

This means that the state provides each student in the Opening Heaven Class with cultivation resources worth 300,000 yuan free of charge every month!

"Of course," Teacher Li changed the subject, "the three basic quotas may be far from enough for those eager to make rapid progress. Additional spirit stones, other cultivation resources, top-secret information, and special training opportunities all need to be exchanged for 'credits.' You will gradually learn how to obtain credits in future courses and tasks."

His gaze sharpened: "Remember, the state provides the platform and initial resources, but how far you get ultimately depends on your own efforts, talents, and choices."

As I said before, the Open Class is never a place to cultivate hothouse flowers.

This is a furnace, a whetstone, the birthplace of future talents!

After saying that, Teacher Li took a step back, giving the podium completely to Zhang Zhenren.

Master Zhang nodded slightly, flicked his whisk, and swept his gentle gaze across the crowd.

"Let's begin."

"Today, I will first teach you the first level of the Basic Spirit Forging Method—Guiding Spirit into the Body and Nourishing the Initial Apertures."

"Everyone, please close your eyes, concentrate, calm your mind, feel the rhythm of your breath, and focus your mind on the dantian (lower abdomen), where you may see a faint light..."

As Master Zhang explained and guided them with a strange rhythm, the students in the classroom followed his instructions, closed their eyes, calmed their minds, tried to eliminate distracting thoughts, and attempted to enter the mysterious state of "meditation".

Even the injured Huang Tao listened attentively.

Xia Xinghan closed his eyes.

Although he mainly relied on sunbathing to become stronger, he was also full of curiosity about so-called spiritual substances and "spirit forging methods".

"I wonder what the difference is between spiritual matter and the stellar energy I absorb. Also, what kind of effect will the basic spirit-forging method have on my superhuman physique?"

With these doubts and expectations, Xia Xinghan quickly entered a meditative state, activated the basic spirit-forging technique, and sensed and guided the spiritual matter in the surrounding environment.

The next moment, something unexpected happened!

"Buzz..."

In the classroom air, the originally very thin spiritual matter seemed to be suddenly summoned by some irresistible force, and began to converge frantically in one direction!
