Chapter 246: 168, Special Training

The next day, 6 a.m.

On the training ground.

Lin Zichen looked around and found that all the injured from yesterday had recovered.

The genius from the limping military district couldn’t limp anymore.

Ma Xiwei’s chest wasn’t sunken in.

Zhang Kai, who was almost paralyzed, was now as agile as a monkey.

You could only say that the medical methods in the military district were truly strong.

It was like they could resurrect the dead, mend flesh and bones.

Soon.

Instructor Lu Tianrong arrived.

After a quick glance to see that all the participants for the special training had arrived, he led everyone towards a building up ahead.

In just a moment, they arrived on the second floor of that building—the special training room.

Lin Zichen looked around the interior curiously.

He saw many sealed glass containers.

These glass containers were quite large.

They were estimated to be 2 meters long, 2 meters wide, and 3 meters high, accommodating several people.

Each container had a display screen installed on its surface.

All the display screens were on, showing text.

Some read “Qi Blood Capsule.”

Others read “Spirit Cabin.”

Were these for training Qi-Blood and spiritual power?

Lin Zichen wondered to himself.

At this point, Lu Tianrong, who was walking at the front, stopped, turned around, and addressed everyone, “This is the special training room of the military district.”

“The glass containers you see here are Qi Blood Capsules and Spirit Cabins.”

“The Qi Blood Capsule, as the name suggests, is used to enhance Qi-Blood.”

“Similarly, the Spirit Cabin is for enhancing spiritual power.”

“The working principle of both is quite simple.”

“The former causes tumultuous Qi-Blood within your body, improving your body’s adaptive strength to Qi-Blood, thereby increasing your Qi-Blood values.”

“The latter subjects you to spiritual attacks, thereby enhancing your spiritual power.”

“Their usage is very simple, just sit inside the corresponding glass capsule, select the intensity level, and then click to start training.”

After briefly explaining the above, Lu Tianrong asked everyone, “Does anyone have questions about the Qi Blood Capsule and Spirit Cabin?”

Lin Zichen inquired, “Instructor, how exactly are the intensity levels differentiated?”

Lu Tianrong replied, “The intensity levels of the Qi Blood Capsules and Spirit Cabins here are divided into 18 levels, related to Biological Levels.”

“Level 1 intensity corresponds to Common Tier One.”

“Level 2 intensity corresponds to Common Tier Two.”

“And so on, with Level 9 intensity corresponding to Ordinary Ninth Rank, and Level 10 intensity corresponds to Advanced First Rank.”

“When training, everyone should act according to their capabilities, selecting a training intensity suitable for themselves to avoid injury.”

After finishing, Lu Tianrong again asked, “Are there any other questions?”

No one spoke, apparently having no more questions.

Seeing this, Lu Tianrong then told everyone, “Since there are no more questions, please proceed to the corresponding glass capsules for training.”

“I recommend starting with the Qi Blood Capsule for training first. After training multiple times until your body is exhausted, then go to the Spirit Cabin for training. This arrangement would be more reasonable.”

“Otherwise, if you start with the Spirit Cabin, when you come out, you’ll be nearly unconscious and unable to undergo the next training.”

After finishing, Lu Tianrong added, “Remember to act according to your abilities when selecting the intensity level. Don’t overdo it and injure yourself. Also, do not stay in the glass capsule for more than half an hour. Stop for a rest before continuing if nearly half an hour has passed, as it could easily harm your body.”

“Understood.”

Someone responded.

Soon, everyone scattered to the various glass capsules around, beginning their training with a bit of curiosity and anticipation.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan each stopped in front of two adjacent Qi Blood Capsules, planning to experience the Qi-Blood training first.

Both entered their capsules and sat down at the same time, then studied the display screens in front of them.

The content displayed on the screen inside the capsule was very simple.

There were just two display areas, one for adjusting the level and one for the on/off switch.

Beyond that, there was nothing else.

Lin Zichen examined the display screen and immediately jumped the intensity level to 9, then without a second thought, clicked to start training.

The moment training started, the pressure inside the capsule instantly rose.

Subsequently, he felt the Qi-Blood within his body being stimulated by an invisible force, slowly becoming tumultuous.

At the same time.

A digital prompt flashed through the void.

[You are experiencing intense Qi-Blood tumult, Qi-Blood +3+4+3+4+3…]

In less than a second, so much Qi-Blood value was raised?

The training effect of the Qi Blood Capsule wasn’t bad.

With the current strength of my physical body, I should be able to withstand the intensity of level 11 training, which corresponds to the training intensity of an Advanced Second Rank.

If I increase the training intensity to level 11, I should be able to boost even more Qi-Blood…

Thinking this, Lin Zichen quickly placed his hand on the adjustment area, ready to increase the training intensity by two more levels.

Just as he was about to press down, he suddenly noticed that many people outside the capsule were looking in his direction.

Li Moyu, Luo Yongjian, Zhang Kai, and other acquaintances were there.

Even Instructor Lu Tianrong was watching.

At this moment, all the people outside were staring at him inside the capsule, seeing that he started with level 9 intensity and he still looked relaxed and cheerful, causing everyone’s faces to show a hint of disbelief.

In everyone’s eyes, his Biological Level was a Common Eighth Order, so after entering the Qi Blood Capsule, level 8 intensity should’ve been his limit.

His starting off at level 9 intensity truly shocked everyone.

“Damn, I forgot this is a public place!”

Lin Zichen quickly came to his senses and hurriedly pretended to be overwhelmed, swiftly pressing on the adjustment area to decrease the intensity to level 8.

Afterwards, he felt a wave of relief in his heart. Thank goodness he hadn’t begun with level 11 intensity; otherwise, his strength would have been completely exposed, causing those hidden in every corner to manically hunt him down.

Having done all this,

Lin Zichen turned his head to look at Shen Qinghan in the neighboring Qi Blood Capsule.

He then noticed that her face was beet red, her body drenched in a heavy sweat, and she seemed to be in discomfort.

The display screen of the Qi Blood Capsule showed that the training intensity was only level 6.

Looking at the other people in the Qi Blood Capsules, the situation appeared to be the same.

They were only enduring the training intensity corresponding to their Biological Levels, but one by one, they were in so much discomfort that their faces were flushed, and they were sweating profusely.

It was not until then that Lin Zichen realized how absurd it was for him to start off at level 9 training intensity.

…

About half an hour later,

Lin Zichen stepped out of the Qi Blood Capsule.

By that time, Shen Qinghan had already come out and had been resting outside for almost 10 minutes.

“How do you feel?”

Lin Zichen walked up to Shen Qinghan and asked.

Her face was still red, and she didn’t look too good, her voice sounded distressed as she said, “Not very good. I only stayed in the capsule for 20 minutes and felt like my blood vessels were about to burst.”

“It might just be that you’re not used to it yet. After a few more sessions, you probably won’t feel as bad as you did just now.”

While saying these words, Lin Zichen glanced around and saw that many others who had just come out of the Qi Blood Capsules were also in discomfort, just like Shen Qinghan.

Everyone was flush-faced and sweaty, as if they had just finished a bout of intense exercise.

Shangguan Yueying, who was of the same Biological Level as Shen Qinghan, had to lean against the wall and vomit the moment she stepped out of the Qi Blood Capsule.

She had endured 30 minutes in a Qi Blood Capsule with level 6 intensity, pushing beyond her limit, and had inadvertently injured herself.

…

More than three hours later.

10 o’clock in the morning.

The crowd had already been training in and out of the Qi Blood Capsules several times, their bodies extremely fatigued.

After resting for a good while, people began to enter the Spirit Cabin one after another to train their spiritual power.

Because he had to look after Shen Qinghan, Lin Zichen was not in a rush to train his spirit.

Shen Qinghan had overexerted herself in the Qi Blood Capsule just now, making herself vomit, and now she leaned dizzily on Lin Zichen’s shoulder, looking unwell.

“Damn, level 8 spiritual training intensity!”

“Liu Ruihe, your spiritual power is off the charts too. My spiritual power has taken years to cultivate, and it’s barely reached Common Tier Five. How did you manage to achieve a staggering Common Eighth Order?”

“What a monster!”

Suddenly, such an incredulous exclamation came from up front.

Following the sound, Lin Zichen looked over and saw that the military prodigy, who had been limping yesterday, had successfully challenged level 8 intensity in the Spirit Cabin, astonishing everyone around.

Increasing spiritual power is difficult, unlike Qi-Blood which rises in sync with an increased Biological Level.

Many whose Biological Levels have evolved to Advanced might only have spiritual power of Common Tier Three.

The only way to rapidly increase spiritual power is by fusing with the genes of Exotic Beasts.

For instance, Shen Qinghan, who had successfully fused with the Blue Jellyfish Queen, dramatically increased her spiritual power to nearly match her Biological Level.

Her ability to have spiritual power close to her Biological Level is also thanks to her unique constitution.

If it were any other prodigy, having successfully fused with the Azure Jellyfish King gene, achieving half their Biological Level in spiritual power would already be quite impressive.

Therefore, when someone suddenly challenged level 8 intensity in the Spirit Cabin, it completely shocked everyone present.

“I wonder what Lin Zichen’s spiritual power is. With such a strong body, his spiritual power must be high too. Could it be higher than Liu Ruihe’s?”

Someone curiously said.

No sooner had they finished speaking than were they contradicted, “You’re so ignorant. Lin Zichen is following the Pureblood Human Path and can’t increase his spiritual power by fusing with Exotic Beast Genes. He can only gradually improve by himself. How could it possibly be high, having a third of his Biological Level would already be quite something.”

The person who was contradicted awkwardly smiled and said, “I know that. I just forgot that Lin Zichen is following the Pureblood Human Path.”

He wasn’t lying, after all, those following the Pureblood Human Path were extremely rare, outliers among outliers, so few they could almost be disregarded.

When considering such matters, people often default prodigies on the Pureblood Human Path to being Genetic Integrators.
