Chapter 173: Marrow cleansing, violent inspection
Along with the flashing of the skill bar, Chen Jue felt that the Qi and blood that had been gathered into a circle throughout his body could no longer be restrained, and began to be transported along the Qi and blood routes running through the small and large circulations.
His body began to turn red, like a cooked shrimp. Chen Jue was able to find through [Inner Vision] that because of the breakthrough in his skill level, all the cells in his body were once again entering the same microscopic siphon effect as before.
Fortunately, Chen Jue was well prepared this time. He had taken a lot of nutritious food before the breakthrough. In addition, the meteorite fragments in his hand were of sufficient quantity, and the innate Qi provided seemed endless, enough to support the transformation of these cells.
Strengthening, growing, dividing, dying and being reborn, Chen Jue was observing the abnormal movements of cells in his body, just like watching the reincarnation evolution of life!
Just like the Buddha attained enlightenment by picking up a flower, he saw with his own eyes that there was a world in each flower, and from a small flower he glimpsed the laws and mysteries of the vast universe.
Chen Jue has now gone further than the Buddha and has witnessed the transformation and evolution of his own 60 trillion cells with his own eyes.
That incomparable experience can no longer be described as a miracle!
And Chen Jue's four attributes began to rise little by little under the siphon effect caused by this breakthrough in martial arts.
"The siphon effect of breaking through level 2 is even more powerful than the entry level 1!"
"Did the ancients really master the small and large circulations of the heavenly body?"
Chen Jue was secretly surprised as he watched the fluctuations of the innate Qi coming from his palms become smaller and smaller.
When the palm-sized fragment in his hand could no longer support him, Chen Jue hurriedly took out another large fragment from the lead box. The nutrients he had taken in advance were also quickly digested in his stomach, as if forcing him to eat faster.
Fortunately, Chen Jue's previous practice of Wudang Golden Toad Kung Fu awakened the status bonus of [Golden Toad Swallowing Air]. Now his intestines and stomach are hard and wear-resistant, and his expansion and contraction functions are far better than before.
Even after eating dozens of nutritional supplements, his belly was swollen as if he was ten months pregnant, but Chen Jue did not feel any stomach discomfort.
He sat cross-legged and continued to transport Qi and blood. The dark gold patterns on the meteorite fragments in his hand gradually dimmed.
The attributes of the panel increased little by little, and the nutrients that had just entered the stomach began to be digested violently. The bulging belly seemed to be punctured and slowly returned to normal.
The astonishing heat coming out of Chen Jue's body baked the entire first floor of the old house as if a high-power small sun was lit for heating.
This cycle continued until nearly 100 kilograms of meteorite fragments and hundreds of sets of nutrients were consumed, and the siphon effect caused by the breakthrough finally stopped.
Chen Jue glanced out the window and found that it was already the next morning. This breakthrough took him nearly 12 hours. The sweat and impurities that were constantly metabolized from his body had dried up, as if a layer of grease covered his body.
After taking a hot shower in the bathroom, Chen Jue took a look at the attribute panel:

"Is there a new bonus? " Chen Jue studied while taking a shower.
[Washing the Meridians and Cutting the Marrow]: Shedding the earthly body and expelling the impurities to become a banished immortal.
Status description: Greatly improve physical fitness, enhance toxin excretion, body metabolic function, and enhance body potential, strength, and vitality .
After reading the description of this new state, Chen Jue was secretly surprised: "I have practiced martial arts to the limit, and the more I practice, the more I become like a fairy! Will I be able to ascend to heaven one day after practicing to the end?"
…
While Chen Jue was practicing in seclusion at home, the video that was uploaded to an internal scientific research database yesterday had now appeared in a working group at an extremely secretive research base.
Inside the simple office are desks similar to those in cubicles in an office building. More than a dozen staff members are taking turns in front of their computers, reviewing and reviewing pictures, texts, and video materials of "strange people and things" that have been collected.
A pair of hands suddenly rose up in front of the desk numbered 13, and a staff member's voice came from inside: "Team Leader! I've discovered something!"
A middle-aged man who was walking back and forth in the office ran over immediately after hearing the sound, leaned over to the computer, and watched the clip of Chen Jue dancing with the bear and then quickly climbing a tree.
"Team leader, the video shows that it only took this man 1.96 seconds to climb the tree."
"Based on nearby reference objects, we can roughly estimate the height of this tree, which is about 14 meters," the staff reported.
"Dancing with bears? Climbing a 14-meter tree in less than 2 seconds? Even a world-class rock climber can't do it, right?"
"Where's the source of the video?" The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and immediately became interested.
"It was uploaded by the research institute of Gongshan Nature Reserve through an encrypted intranet channel. The uploader is marked at the back. It was released by the director of this Class B research institute. The source is reliable." The staff continued to report.
"good!"
"Has this person's face been captured?" The middle-aged man grinned when he heard it.
"The video resolution is very high and it captures the face from three directions! The facial data has been uploaded to the internal database and is being automatically compared and retrieved," the staff member continued.
"Well, you did a good job, Xiao Zhou. Your bonus this month should be secure."
"I'll go report to the director, you continue with your work!" The middle-aged man patted the staff member on the shoulder to show encouragement, then he quickly left the office and jogged towards an office deep in the base.
As soon as he left, the staff in the other cubicles all poked their heads out and said, "Monday, you can do it! I've read over 300 documents and haven't found anyone who agrees with my request. You must treat me to dinner after get off work tonight."
"That's right! The team leader said that your bonus is guaranteed, so he must treat you to a meal!"
"Damn it, the information I collected in this category is either about old men doing Tai Chi in the park or devil musclemen doing street fitness. I really don't know how these research institutes below understand our "strange people and things" collection activity."
"I guess he watched too many short videos and thought that if he caught an ordinary person, he would be considered a strange person."
"My case is even more outrageous! Even the video from the fishing forum was uploaded. In the video, it looked like some unknown fish was discharging electricity. After analysis and comparison, it turned out that it was a gimmick of fishing for electric eels raised in the fish tank at home to trick people into replying and liking. I wasted an entire morning."
"Hahaha! There are indeed talented people in this bar!" There was a joyful discussion in the office.
The middle-aged team leader trotted into the director's office and reported the newly screened videos.
"Climb 14 meters in 2 seconds?"
“Sleeping in the forest at night and dancing with bears?”
"What a lot of explosive power and courage this requires! This candidate is worth looking at!" The sixty-year-old director sitting at the desk pushed his glasses, watched the video, then tapped on the computer keyboard and retrieved the facial information that was being compared in the database.
I saw a program quickly scrolling and comparing the three profile photos captured in the video. After about five minutes, Chen Jue's information popped up.
Looking at the resume behind Chen Jue's identity information, as well as his confidential coaching identity, the old director excitedly slammed the table and said, "Great! Turns out he's the first-level candidate who was missed in the competition that just ended!"
"This time, the light is really in the dark! He almost missed such an important talent!"
The middle-aged team leader was also slightly surprised when he saw this, and asked hurriedly: "Director, did this person match?"
"It's matched! All conditions are met!" The old director nodded happily, then he remembered something and asked his colleague, "Oh, Lao Mo, I remember that in the recent competition, a force measuring machine was damaged by violence. Was it sent for inspection in advance during the warranty period? Did you find any problems?"
The middle-aged team leader reached out and patted his forehead when he heard this and said, "Ouch! Look how busy I am! I almost forgot to tell you about this. The machine was sent to the maintenance team for inspection. There was a piece of force measurement data that was a little wrong. I have uploaded it to the memo. You can take a look at it, Director."
"The outside of the machine was hit hard, and the shell and bracket were deformed to varying degrees. We have already replaced it with a new one at the base."
"The force measuring machine is the second-generation version newly developed by our base. It can withstand at least 2 tons of impact force. Are you sure it was damaged normally after installation and operation? It was not broken during transportation?" The old director showed a puzzled look on his face, then manipulated the mouse to click on the memo in the database.
The old director saw a historical measurement data that clearly showed "3233KG". He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. Then he glanced at Chen Jue's data that had just been compared on the other side of the computer screen, and made a bold guess in his mind: "Lao Mo, go call Deputy Director Liu and ask him to arrange time to contact this first-level candidate! This person is probably more than just first-level! It is very likely that he will be directly rated as special grade! Selected for that plan!"
