Devouring the Stars: Reboot, Serpent of Eternity!

Chapter 4 Divine Crystal! (Two in one, please collect and recommend!)

Jiang Wu's naivety was just an appearance, but he was still reliable. He comforted his sister and said, "Don't worry, Xiaozhe is still far from good."

"He is too slow. It is not easy to increase his speed. The limit of 25m/s will hold him back for a while."

"Even with the guidance of the two of us, it is conservatively estimated that it will take a week or two to achieve results, right? Grandpa and the others should be back by then. They will naturally have to worry about how to teach Xiaozhe by then."

Jiang Sisi felt it made sense, nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

They were both understandably worried.

The main reason is that Jiang Zhe is afraid that after cultivating his genetic power, he will awaken his stimulating mental power, and then the awakening will fail. Jiang Zhe will be turned into a fool or a vegetative state by the out-of-control power of his mind, or even more seriously, he will bleed to death from his seven orifices.

The two of them were the cause of the accident, and they will feel guilty for the rest of their lives.

Jiang Zhe was not aware of his cousin's concerns. He stood in front of the boxing target and eavesdropped on the conversation between the two, muttering in a low voice: "Sometimes it's good for men to be slower..."

"Xiao Zhe, come here and test your speed." Jiang Wu patted the newly opened speed tester next to him and greeted loudly.

"Come on, maybe I will become a quasi-warrior tonight."

Jiang Zhe chuckled, geared up, walked to the runway, and jumped out like a cheetah after receiving Jiang Wu's signal.

The runway is 60 meters long. There is a speed tester in the second half, and the speed test area is around it.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Zhe accelerated to the extreme speed, kicked his legs vigorously, and flew past like an arrow off the string, bringing up a strong wind with a "swish".

After running through the test area, it naturally slowed down and stopped.

"Second brother, how much?" Jiang Zhe calmed his breathing and asked expectantly.

"24.5m/s!"

Jiang Wu gave a thumbs up, "Haha, that's pretty good. If you work harder, you'll pass the line."

"It doesn't make sense." Jiang Zhe muttered, and walked over to the screen to check. The numbers displayed on it were indeed what the second brother said.

It's not that I'm worried about why I couldn't break through the limit of a quasi-martial artist, that would be a matter of time, but it's just that the improvement compared to the morning is too small.

You know, Luo Feng's last headache before the quasi-warrior increased his speed by 5m/s.

Jiang Sisi also came over and comforted: "Xiaozhe, you are still young, and it is the time when your physical fitness improves most significantly. As long as you pay more attention to the power generation skills when running, you will almost reach the standard in one to two weeks of training."

Jiang Zhe was enlightened by his cousin's words and figured out the reason.

Yes, it’s the skill gap!

I have never paid attention to the technique of exerting force. I just rely on brute force to run hard and do not fully utilize my physical fitness!
"I know, second brother, do it again."

With that said, Jiang Zhe was already walking towards the starting point of the track. On the way, he was trying to figure out his cousin's movements and analyzing his leg powering techniques.

The two siblings looked at each other, Jiang Wu spread his hands and said, "You seem to be talking too much again."

He casually turned on the speed tester to Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Sisi: "..."

I'm so damn good at being a teacher!

Jiang Zhe started running on the track. This time he ran stumblingly and his speed dropped to "22m/s", which was not even as good as his result in the morning.

Jiang Zhe didn't care and continued running for the third, fourth, and fifth time...

"21.2m/s!"

"22.6m/s!"

"20.3m/s!"

"23.4m/s!"

……

After several attempts, he still failed to break through the number just tested, but Jiang Zhe's eyes became brighter from confused thinking.

He felt that he was about to catch that mysterious "little tail", his legs became more nimble, and he ran more easily.

"23.8m/s!"

……

"24.9m/s!"

"25.6m/s!"

Finally, the dust has settled and the boundaries of quasi-warriors have been broken!
Jiang Sisi pursed her lips, hesitated, and stopped talking.

Jiang Wu understood her thoughts and made a decision directly: "Okay, I will hand over the "Gene Energy Cultivation Method" to him later. We have to believe in Xiaozhe, he will awaken successfully, and he will definitely become the number one person on earth in the future. A spiritual master!"

"Of course, he has to ask us for it. If he doesn't want it, we won't give it to him." Jiang Wu added.

"……All right."

After a long silence, Jiang Sisi agreed.

Jiang Zhe didn't pay attention to the conversation between his cousins. He was immersed in his own world and ran back and forth on the track again and again.

Brother Jiang and Wu looked at the numbers that were constantly refreshing on the screen of the speed tester as if they were ghosts - "25.9m/s, 26.7m/s, 27.3m/s..."

The final frame was - "29.9m/s!"

It's not that he can't climb up, but that Jiang Zhe can't run away.

Jiang Zhe lay on the cold alloy floor, breathing heavily, and the hearty pleasure made him laugh.

Jiang Wu also laughed naively: "Oh no, is he really a genius?"

Jiang Sisi rolled her eyes at him, "What old jokes from the previous generation are you turning over now?"

"Hey, good wine isn't afraid of aging." Jiang Wu made a rare joke and walked over to pull Jiang Zhe up. "Is it okay? Do you still have the strength? Continue to test the nerve reaction speed?"

"How can a real man say no? Let's go, second brother, keep going!"

The two brothers put their arms around each other and walked toward the "nervous response testing room" connected to the martial arts training hall.

"There should be no suspense..." Looking at the backs of the two of them, Jiang Sisi murmured, turned and left the martial arts training hall, and went to find the housekeeper to prepare a surprise for Jiang Zhe.

……

"In 60 seconds, he was hit 42 times without touching the red light. High level!"

"With an evaluation higher than 'qualified', it has reached the standard of a quasi-martialist. From now on, Xiao Zheyou will be a quasi-martialist!"

Jiang Wu announced the result with a smile, feeling that he had witnessed a miracle.

The younger brother Jiang Zhe's achievements are absolutely unprecedented and will be recorded in the history books. He only had one day of exposure to martial arts and completed the leap from an intermediate student to a quasi-martial artist.

You know, there are most people in this society who are still stuck on the threshold of quasi-warriors at the age of 30.

"Xiao Zhe, do you want to continue?" Jiang Wu had an encouraging look on his face.

Jiang Zhe smiled and shook his head, "No, I've reached my limit for the time being. I still need to think about my movement skills."

The achievement he achieved just now was all due to the powerful computing power brought by the spiritual master's talent, as well as the "chicken step" imitated from his cousin.

Jiang Zhe is very self-aware. When it comes to the foundation of kicking techniques, he has no foundation at all.

In the first 16 years, I was busy studying the scriptures of sages, polishing my state of mind, and looking for a path of mind cultivation that suits me.

The second is to warm and nourish the body and improve physical fitness.

There is no rush to practice skills.

The martial arts skills in this world are different from those in the previous life. The core is all about exerting force. It is more suitable to contact them after becoming a warrior.

"Haha, just have a plan. Starting tomorrow, practice martial arts with me and Sisi, and we will teach you." Jiang Wu smiled and patted Jiang Zhe on the shoulder.

Jiang Zhe nodded in agreement.

This is the advantage of being from a big family, there will be no shortage of people to lead the way.

"By the way, second brother, can I read "Gene Energy Cultivation Method" now?"

"Watch it now?"

"Well, can't wait!"

"Haha, come with me to the ninth floor. Try to succeed in cultivation as soon as possible, and give grandpa and the others a big surprise when they come back!"

……

In the audio-visual room on the ninth floor of the Alloy Tower, Jiang Zhe saw the only genetic energy cultivation method on earth - the Five Hearts to Heaven Cultivation Method!

Jiang Zhe tried hard to remember the key points in the article.

Jiang Wu explained to him what gene energy was and how to cultivate it more efficiently.Among them is the proper use of "slag", and the guidance technique and gravity cultivation method are also mentioned.

"Second brother, how about you also give me the guidance technique?"

"No, no." Jiang Wu shook his head repeatedly.

"Our family has two sets of guidance skills, coupled with five sets of different types of major cheats, three sets of attack types, one set of body skills, and one set of special types. What kind of training combination will you choose? Grandpa needs to work with you. I don’t dare to overstep my authority when it comes to making up my mind.”

Jiang Zhe begged twice more, but Jiang Wu still refused to let go, so he had to give up.

"Xiao Zhe, if you want to officially register as a warrior, you still need to pass the actual combat assessment. You must fight life and death with monsters. Even members of our Jiang family are not exempt. If you can't even pass this test, you are not qualified to become a warrior. of."

"I understand, I am preparing for the August 8 match now."

Jiang Wu was a little worried, "Well... why don't we wait for the show in half a year? There are only five days left, which is too hasty."

"It doesn't matter. As long as I succeed in cultivating my genetic power, it will not be difficult to kill a few elementary beast-level monsters by using heavy weapons."

Jiang Zhe was very confident in his growth rate, but he told a different story.

"Don't we have second brother and sister Sisi to help me? One of you teaches me body skills, and the other teaches me how to use weapons. I believe that the teaching skills of both of you will be able to train me into a qualified warrior within five days."

"If it hadn't been for Sister Sisi's two reminders just now, it might have taken me a while to break through the boundaries of a quasi-martial artist."

If Jiang Sisi was still here, she would definitely cover her face in depression. She is really good at causing trouble for herself.

Jiang Wu thought for a while and felt that what Jiang Zhe said made sense.

"Then I'll go sign up for you tomorrow."

"But the premise is that you must succeed in cultivating the original gene. If you fail to succeed within five days, I will help you abstain. You can prepare for the next actual combat assessment."

Jiang Wu walked to the corner cabinet against the wall, opened the drawer, pulled out a USB flash drive, and threw it to Jiang Zhe.

"There are some videos in it, covering power techniques, body skills, and attack methods. You can try it out and choose the one that suits you."

……

After walking out of Chuanwu Hall with his second brother, Jiang Zhe received today's surprise - his cousin prepared a celebration dinner for him.

The aunt, the second mother, and their mother came over to take a look at him on the way, praised him a few words, and then formed a group to play mahjong again.

My sister-in-law and their four third-generation members partied until late into the night. Jiang Zhe finally seemed to have taken a bath with champagne and cream, and cleaned up after returning to the courtyard for a long time.

At 27:02 in the morning on the 30th, Jiang Zhe, wearing a loose nightgown, was sitting cross-legged on the bed.

He can't sleep at this age, it's a good time to cultivate immortality.

"To practice genetic energy, you must first sense the energy of the universe. The first 'sensing' is the most difficult."

"Some talents with good talents can be sensed on the first day of practice; while those with mediocre talents will spend a year and a half on this step... Regardless of my talents, the auxiliary means of cultivation must be used first."

Jiang Zhe took out a porcelain box the size of a table tennis ball, opened the lid, dipped his fingertips in a small amount of crystal clear ointment, and applied it evenly on the palms of his hands, the soles of his feet and the Baihui points on his head.

According to the requirements of the cultivation method, assume a posture with five hearts facing the sky.

"breathe……"

Jiang Zhe kept breathing calmly, controlled himself, and made his heart quiet.

For him, who has been cultivating his mind for 16 years and has been exposed to the three cultures of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, it is easy to achieve this step. Meditation/meditation is an indispensable daily homework for him, and his mind soon becomes as calm as a mirror lake.

It was silent, and the breath was barely audible.

1 minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes... 10 minutes, 15 minutes...

In a chaotic state of half-asleep and half-awake, Jiang Zhe vaguely felt that his five hearts were gradually heating up, and a numbness invaded his body. A trace of breath penetrated through his five hearts and poured into his body like gurgling water.

"What the hell? Such a fast cultivation speed?!!!"

It's like opening holes in the Baihui points on the soles of the feet, the palms of the hands, and the top of the head and pouring mercury into them, making them transparent to the end.

This is just the body’s spontaneous absorption!
He was horrified, but Jiang Zhe maintained his condition.

He quickly followed the instructions in the cultivation method and no longer allowed his body to passively absorb the energy of the universe. He focused his consciousness on the "five hearts" and naturally emitted thoughts of "pulling the energy of the universe".

The scene became even more out of control, and the speed increased a hundred times in an instant.

At the beginning, the cosmic energy was like water in a water pipe, slowly injected into Jiang Zhe's body.

Now the water pipe exploded, and it was super pressurized, flooding Jiang Zhe's body crazily.

Jiang Zhe once thought that he was going to be blinded by the energy of the universe.

What he still didn't understand at this time was that it was the layer of slag ointment that greatly increased the speed of genetic energy cultivation.

"Most of the cosmic energy that poured into my body was produced by melting the balm. It turned out to be substantial cosmic energy?"

"I don't know how to solidify ordinary cosmic energy, but I know that the substantial original energy of the cosmos is the cosmic crystal. That is a method that only the world lord-level powerhouses have..."

"My family must have made the 'slag' with the help of some ancient civilization relic. What kind of treasure could it be? I'm really curious!"

The changes in his body temporarily suppressed Jiang Zhe's curiosity like a cat scratching his head.

"what--"

The trembling feeling that came from the depths of his bones made Jiang Zhe moan in "embarrassment".

The cosmic energy enters the cells, is absorbed and transformed by the mitochondria, and releases a strange energy. This energy is quickly absorbed by the cells everywhere. The entire cells undergo earth-shaking changes, and the DNA genetic blueprint undergoes subtle changes.

At the same time, cells divide and multiply.

As time goes by, Jiang Zhe's body continues to change, and his skin, muscles, bones, and even deeper cells are all scrambling to transform.

The skin is firm, the muscles are optimized, the bone density is increasing, the cells shrink in size but increase in number after division, and the body weight continues to increase.

This is the transformation of life, a leap in the level of life!

Since birth, the human body has not consciously absorbed cosmic energy and has been in a state of hunger for a long time. Therefore, when it absorbs cosmic energy for the first time, it absorbs the most and the most significant improvement in strength is achieved.

At five or six o'clock in the morning, the sun has already risen high in the northern region. Jiang Zhe opened his eyes with a smile on his face and reviewed the harvest of the night.

"It took more than two hours to absorb it before it was saturated...and the quality of these two hours cannot be compared with other warriors on the earth."

"That kind of crazy flooding state, until the 'slag' is exhausted, it returns to the same absorption speed as when a normal warrior practices for the first time."

"It has been determined that the 'slag' is semi-solidified cosmic energy, which has an effect similar to that of a nutrient solution."

"Sure enough, our Jiang family can produce four war gods with external help, and the output of 'slag' should not be high..."

Jiang Zhe shook his head and stopped thinking about it. He got up and got down to practice boxing to familiarize himself with the changes in his body.

"Is it estimated that one punch can weigh 2000kg? Maybe even higher!"

How much it can be depends on the actual test in Chuanwu Hall.

"More importantly, the space inside my body has changed, and I have one more chance to chop down trees."

Even the subtle changes in the original nucleus cannot escape Jiang Zhe's perception.

"Do I need to advance to a higher level to have the opportunity to chop down trees?"

After locking the door and drawing the curtains tightly, Jiang Zhe entered the original core again.

The open space surrounded by chaotic mist has expanded to 20 meters in length and width.

The tree in the center is also thicker, with a diameter of more than two meters. Its curved branches extend into the mist, and the entire crown of the tree is still invisible.

The wound made yesterday has healed, leaving an obvious scar the size of both fists.

Jiang Zhe walked around the tree, found a smooth area, swung his logging ax to cut a wound, and a golden ball of light burst out from inside.

The weight of the ax soared. After Jiang Zhe let go, he flew back to the stone table.

Jiang Zhe didn't care. He bent down to pick up the golden ball of light. When his fingertips touched it, the golden light dissipated, revealing what was inside.

It is a crystal clear gem the size of a pair of fists.

The palm of his hand touched the "gem", and a piece of information was transmitted into Jiang Zhe's mind, making him stunned and looking shocked.

He came back to his senses after a while.

Jiang Zhe circled the tree, looking for something, and kept muttering: "It shouldn't be just this one... Where did my "Sacred Scripture of Thousand Bodies" go?"

　Brother Meng, I don’t know how to practice the "Sacred Code of Thousand Bodies". The strength of that thing is really limited. It sounds like the integration of thousands of bodies into one is very powerful, but it does not help the Tao of Life and Death. At most, it has stronger combat power.

　　It's the same in the world of Swallowing Starry Sky. There are a thousand protagonists, but there is no bonus for law understanding; the divine body is small and there is no massive divine power; the life-saving ability is outstanding, and the combat power after the integration is worth looking forward to.

　　I have another use for this divine crystal, and its effect is definitely stronger than something like the "Sacred Scripture of Thousand Bodies" which is more powerful than a temporary thing.
