Chinese Superman

Xia Xinghan's spiritual energy had nowhere to be "guided" or "stored".

Once spiritual matter enters the body, it is divided, devoured, and completely absorbed by trillions of cells!

What's the point of practicing if you're like this?

Xia Xinghan looked up at the venerable Master Zhang on the platform, his voice clear and childlike as he asked, "Master Zhang, in the path of cultivation, besides techniques, are there also realms of cultivation?"

Upon hearing this, Master Zhang smiled slightly and shook his head frankly: "Young friend, your question hits the nail on the head. However, the cultivation system is newly established and the techniques are still in their infancy, so how can we talk about the division of realms? If I had to make a deduction, I currently have two ideas in mind."

He paused for a moment, then slowly said, "Firstly, it can be called 'returning from the acquired to the innate'."

The whole class perked up their ears without prior arrangement.

"When ordinary people are born, they breathe in foul air, eat grains, and their bodies are covered in dust; this is called 'postnatal life'."

"By borrowing the warmth of the spirit, one can circulate the Qi throughout the body, cleanse the marrow and purify the body, eliminating impurities and filth, gradually making the body clear and returning it to the pure and transparent state of a fetus in the womb, thus becoming close to the natural world. This is the 'innate state'."

"This state is easy to describe but extremely difficult to achieve; it requires perseverance, like water dripping on a stone."

Secondly, it can be called the "Golden Elixir".

Master Zhang's gaze was distant, and his tone was profound: "This name is taken from an ancient Taoist saying. Gold is something that is hard, durable, and indestructible; cinnabar is something that is perfect, bright, and without flaw."

"It means to condense the essence, qi, and spirit, or the absorbed and refined spiritual essence, into a unified whole within the body, thus creating an indestructible 'golden elixir'."

"If one reaches this state, one may attain longevity and immortality, and supernatural powers will naturally arise."

Before the words were even finished, the entire Kaitian Class erupted in chaos, creating a tremendous uproar.

"Hiss... Does that mean I can cultivate myself into an immortal?"

"Unexpectedly, the world has changed so much that ordinary people can now dream of immortality."

"This is the worst of times, this is the best of times!"

"Does immortality mean eternal youth?"

The students whispered among themselves, discussing animatedly. They had been a little confused and disappointed just moments before, but now they were all as excited as if they had been injected with adrenaline, eager to immediately begin practicing the "Basic Spirit Forging Method".

Tell me, under heaven, who can resist the eight words: "Seek immortality and attain eternal life"?

Even Xia Xinghan, a superhuman, couldn't do it.

Although there are superheroes in American comics, some have long lifespans, some are almost immortal, and some only live longer than humans, you can't just gamble on the comic book setting, can you?

Master Zhang paused for a moment, then emphasized again: "This is merely my conjecture based on ancient texts. There may be a vast chasm between 'Innate' and 'Golden Elixir,' and there may be many transitional stages, which is still unknown."

"Moreover, the concept of the 'Golden Elixir' is extremely mysterious, and I myself have not even come close to it. Whether I can truly achieve it is still unknown."

Golden Elixir!

Xia Xinghan listened intently, but then his face fell.

How can he condense a golden core if he doesn't have a dantian?

However, at the very moment this confusion arose, an unprecedented, audacious, almost insane idea struck his mind like a lightning bolt piercing the darkness!

"Since I don't have a so-called 'sea of ​​qi' or dantian... then why can't I treat every single cell as a miniature 'dantian'?!"

Once this idea took hold, it could no longer be contained, growing wildly like weeds, and giving rise to an even more magnificent and grand vision.

Humans have approximately 30 to 40 trillion cells.

As a superhuman, his cell count and structure are even more unique, with a total number far exceeding this number, reaching the trillion level!

Ordinary people cultivate to condense a golden elixir in their dantian.

Their individual cells are not powerful enough to support the Golden Elixir.

What if he... condensed a miniature energy core, similar to a golden elixir, in every cell?

Moreover, he discovered that the spiritual matter absorbed by cells could perfectly fuse with the stellar energy stored in the cells, producing a new energy form that is more active and has greater potential!

If this fused energy were highly compressed and condensed within cells... forming miniature "stars"?

Is every cell a universe in itself, nurturing a miniature star?

A trillion cells are a trillion stars!

Xia Xinghan's heart pounded, and deep within his azure eyes, it seemed as if fire was burning!

He was reminded of a Marvel character, a counterpart to Superman—the Sentry.

The Sentinel is described as possessing the power of a million stars.

His vision is trillions of stars!

After "million", we need to add "hundred million"!

The two are not even in the same dimension of power!

"It's feasible...it's absolutely feasible."

"The power of trillions of stars!!"

"Whether I'm just an ordinary Kryptonian or whatever, so what? I will forge my own path!"

Xia Xinghan suppressed his excitement, trying his best to keep his face calm, but he couldn't hide his radiant spirit.

The Basic Spirit Forging Method is the crystallization of human wisdom and the key to the era of spiritual revival.

But this key isn't entirely suitable for me.

And Xia Xinghan will forge his own unique path of cultivation based on the foundation of the Basic Spirit Forging Method—

Cells are the furnace, stars are the elixir.

A trillion stars, forging my indestructible body!

The time of a class period passed quietly.

Master Zhang simply flicked his whisk, said "That's all for today," and then, with Teacher Li's respectful farewell, drifted away.

A short while later, Teacher Li returned to the classroom alone.

He stood on the podium, his gaze sweeping over the students with their varied expressions, and asked in a deep voice, "It's a rare opportunity for Master Zhang to personally guide a lesson. Students, how did you learn? Has anyone grasped the basics of the 'Basic Spirit Forging Method'?"

A murmur of discussion and sighs immediately filled the classroom.

"Teacher, this is too difficult! I can't even do the 'guard one' part properly. All I see when I close my eyes are images of last night's game..."

"I feel like I've calmed down, but I don't feel any 'qi' at all."

"I always feel a chill down my spine, but I can't tell if it's just my imagination or if I'm actually sensing some kind of spiritual energy..."

Most people looked visibly frustrated, stuck at the "qi sensation" stage.

Teacher Li seemed to have anticipated this, remaining calm as he patiently explained, "There's no need to be discouraged. The overall amount of spiritual matter in the world is still very scarce, making it difficult to detect using only one's own senses. However..."

His gaze shifted to the silver combination lock box containing the spirit stones.

"Spirit stones contain highly concentrated spiritual substances."

"Simply hold it in your palm and then circulate the Basic Spirit Forging Method to easily sense spiritual matter, allowing you to overcome the obstacle of 'Qi Sensing' and making your cultivation twice as effective."

The classroom erupted in commotion upon hearing this.

Everyone's eyes lit up, and their gazes toward the spirit stone became even more fervent.

"Now, each student, please come forward one by one to receive your monthly allowance. Each person will receive three yuan. Please keep it safe and use it with care," Teacher Li announced.

The collection process was orderly.

Everyone received three spirit stones as they wished, holding them carefully as if they were priceless treasures.
