Chapter 132 Touching Song
After returning to the room in the guesthouse with a box of human nutrition supplements, Chen Jue first accompanied Zhou Gang to the canteen of the base to have dinner.
The food in the cafeteria tasted good, with fish and meat, as well as vegetarian dishes suitable for monks. However, Chen Jue unexpectedly noticed that the Shaolin monks did not seem to be averse to meat.
After all, people who practice martial arts focus on strengthening their bodies, and eating only vegetarian meals and dishes will cause nutritional imbalance.
Although there are plants that can supplement protein or fat, the common perception that "meat eaters are strong and vegetarians are weak" has been deeply rooted for thousands of years.
Of course, all monks in Shaolin Temple who have received the precepts and rules must maintain vegetarian habits, but these monks should be exceptions in the temple.
Just like in history, after the incident of the Thirteen Monks protecting the King of Tang, Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, specially appointed Monk Tanzong as the general, and issued an edict allowing the monks of Shaolin Temple to train monk soldiers, stop killing, and eat meat and drink wine. There are also temple inscriptions in Shaolin Temple that record this.
…
After dinner, Chen Jue returned to his room in the guesthouse and looked through the competition schedule sent by Political Commissar Yao.
The competition will be divided into three days. An opening ceremony will be held in the indoor activity area of the base tomorrow morning, followed by rounds of competition. The first day is the preliminary round, the second day is the semi-final, and the last day is the final.
Of course, this is the competition process for folk martial artists and martial arts masters like Chen Jue. The competitions for soldiers like Zhou Gang are staggered. The first three days are for observation and learning, and then the soldiers are inspected on the parade ground. Moreover, the whole process is not announced to the public, and Chen Jue has no chance to observe. He has to leave the station after participating in the first three days of activities. Political Commissar Yao has explained it before coming.
Of course, Chen Jue’s body has now become holy, and all of his attributes have broken the human limit of "1". His martial arts have also been mastered to perfection. He is not very interested in the upcoming competition, and just regards it as a formality to get a bonus.
After all, the savings on hand are almost spent, and I have to find some extra income to support my future practice.
After opening the box of human nutrient supplements, Chen Jue sat cross-legged on the bed in the room, drew the curtains, and began to move his Qi and blood, practicing the small and large circulations.
The experience of adding a little more money once in Chencun’s hometown, which almost bankrupted Chen Jue, made him feel a little scared.
Now, taking advantage of the opportunity of this competition to buy the special human nutritional supplements supplied internally, Chen Jue began to feel eager to try it out.
“Try adding a little bit!”
"It would be even better if I could take it together with Sister Yun's Golden Dew." Chen Determined secretly, opened the seal of a tube of nutrient solution, focused his mind, and transferred 0.01 attribute points to the proficiency of [Small and Large Circulation].
Sure enough, as the proficiency level jumped up by 10 points, the blood and energy that was slowly flowing in Chen Jue's body began to surge.
One circle, two circles, ten circles, a hundred circles, Chen Jue felt his whole body getting hot, his skin was as red as a cooked shrimp, and his various attributes were also jumping up and down.
The stomach and intestines began to move violently, and soon the dinner he had just eaten was completely absorbed and refined by the "refining essence into qi" skill induced by this internal alchemy technique.
Chen Jue hurriedly grabbed a tube of nutrient solution and squeezed it into his mouth, then quickly swallowed it along with the bottle of functional drink that Zhou Gang had bought him.
"This thing is like eating mud!"
"It tastes like chewing wax! No wonder almost no one buys it when it's on the shelf." Chen Jue complained in his heart. Fortunately, the functional drink is sweet, so he can barely swallow it when eaten with other foods.
After swallowing a tube of human nutrient supplement, Chen Jue felt his gastrointestinal motility speed up and his stomach became hot. The high calories and various nutrients contained in it began to be rapidly transported to every corner of the body. Chen Jue's mind became clearer and his thoughts began to radiate. It felt like he had gained enlightenment at this moment!
This is the manifestation of "refining qi to transform into spirit" in Taoist inner alchemy. It is directly reflected in the panel attributes that the intelligence column has increased the most in the points added just now.
When the siphon effect of adding points ended, Chen Jue felt his stomach was empty. Not adding 10 points of proficiency to [Small and Large Circulation] like before almost emptied him out.
In fact, in addition to the effect of this human nutrient supplement, Chen Jue has also formed a golden elixir during this period. His physical fitness is stronger and more resistant than before, so he can adapt to the siphon effect brought about by this increase in points.
“It really works!”
"There are still 9 tubes left. I will try this technique to its full potential tonight!" Chen was determined and felt that he still had strength left in his body, so he added some more while swallowing the human nutrient supplement.
After eight cycles like this, his proficiency in the running of the small and large circulations was raised to (101/100), and the amazing heat emanating from Chen Jue began to bake the entire room like a radiator in winter. Chen Jue then stopped exercising and subconsciously glanced at the attribute panel:
Name: Chen Jue
Age: 27
Health index: 208%
Strength: 3.55
Agility: 2.56
Constitution: 3.89
Intelligence: 1.79 (1.29)
Free attribute points: 0.48
Mastered skills: The rest are omitted... [Small and Large Circulation Lv0 (101/100)]: Missing the necessary conditions and cannot be upgraded.
Current status: The rest is omitted... [Unknown Blocked]
It was probably because after forming the elixir, various attributes had grown to an extremely terrifying level. This time, with the addition of Taoist inner alchemy, Chen Jue's attribute values did not increase much compared to before.
On the other hand, a new comment popped up when the small and large circulations were running. Just like the [Unknown Blockade], it had a question mark and showed that it could not be resolved.
It was as if the attribute panel was playing a trick on Chen Jue!
This made Chen Jue feel a little uncomfortable: "Shit! I've already reached proficiency 101 and I can't even break through? Is this a bug?"
Chen Jue was a bit depressed. He had already consumed 9 out of the 10 tubes of human nutrients he had just received. He had spent 9,000 yuan in total, but he still hadn't been able to break through this technique. He felt like he had eaten rat shit and was extremely sick.
Fortunately, this time the added points did not drain his body. Although he was unable to break through, it allowed Chen Jue to further verify that those unverified techniques in the group were indeed useful and could be practiced.
When he thought of this, Chen Jue felt a little better. He glanced at the time and found that it was already 12 o'clock in the evening. He quickly took a hot bath and lay down to rest.
…
When he woke up the next day, Chen Jue felt his mind was clear and his thoughts became much more transparent. It was obvious that the improvement in intelligence caused by practicing last night had taken effect.
After going out and having breakfast in the canteen of the base, Chen Jue slowly walked to the indoor activity area where the crowd gathered.
The entire venue is a bit like a scaled-down basketball court, with plastic seats surrounding the stairs and ten competition venues circled by red ropes on the wooden floor in the middle. It is simple and neat, very much like a military style.
Chen Jue found his seat according to the number tag. At this time, people had already started to enter the venue.
The warriors selected from all over the country sat opposite, and Chen Jue was surrounded by the masters of the martial arts sects and some folk practitioners. There were more than 200 people in total. It was a large number, so it was no wonder that ten venues were needed.
When the time came, the venue was silent. A host holding a microphone walked to the center of the competition and briefly introduced the rules of the competition to everyone.
This host was probably sent by the art troupe. He had a loud voice, clear pronunciation, and was a great host. After announcing the rules, he began the opening session .
That is to announce that everyone should stand up, raise the flag, and play music!
A piece of music that was engraved in the bones and souls of the Flower Planting Family sounded, and the flag hanging in the middle of the venue began to rise slowly to the rhythm.
"Rise up..." All the participants in the event, whether they were soldiers or outsiders, sang loudly together at this moment.
And among the crowd, Chen Jue, who was also humming along with the tune, suddenly felt through his divine connection that an indescribable spirit was coming towards him from the chorus of the entire audience!
This is the power brought by the song, which contains the will of countless Hua family ancestors, the momentum of the country being destroyed but the mountains and rivers remaining, and the infinite emotion contained in the era more than a hundred years ago when dragons fought in the wild and their blood was dark yellow!
