Chapter 124: Legend of the Nobody

The competitions between the ace courses were divided into major years and minor years.

The major years were when prodigies registered into the university in large batches. It meant that stars had gathered together to compete against each other and chase one another. They formed a good competitive environment and gradually created the Golden Era.

But during the minor years, when no one showed interest in the course and there were no prodigies competing against each other, the lecturers also lacked a certain passion when they taught.

The past ten years were the minor years for Agricultural University’s martial arts course. They were not able to get really good talents, which was why they just kept being suppressed by the monster controller course.

But every dog has its days. God seemed to want to compensate for the martial arts course, and stuffed all the good talents he had not given to the martial arts course previously into the course in one go, creating a rare major year where genii and “monsters” competed against each other.

There was no need to talk about how outstanding Sun Ya, Jiang Rui, and Xie Feng were.

Even Duan Lian, who was the only one among the Four Great Kings who had not gathered twenty thousand monster coins and had to choose a normal tutor, trained madly day and night with great motivation. He improved quickly and posed a great threat to Sun Ya and the others.

Meanwhile, the monster controller course had been getting really talented people for the past ten years, but this year, their streak was cut off, and no outstanding newcomer showed up.

The outstanding new students from both courses were about the same in terms of national college examination marks and the number of spirit meridians they cleared, but the martial arts course had a slight advantage.

Hence, many of the martial arts course lecturers rubbed their palms together and poured all their blood, sweat, and tears into guiding the new students, hoping that they could take revenge for the humiliation suffered in the past and help them stand with their heads held high once more.

Just like that, the Four Great Kings spent practically every day creating new spirit energy magnetic fields and mastering all sorts of powerful killing moves. Once every few days, they also cleared another main meridian, and spirit flames circled them. Their spirit tattoos shone brilliantly, and no one could stop their momentum.

The other students were not as talented as they were, but they had created their own spirit energy magnetic fields and could activate some killing moves as well.

Although, since they had just learned to do it, the time they spent accumulating power, stiffening up, and cooling down was very long.

But their tutors told them that their opponents, regardless of whether they were humans or monsters, also had to face the problem of accumulating power, stiffening up, and cooling down.

“Don’t worry about the long time you take accumulating power and cooling down. As long as you continue training and your muscles come to remember it as well as turn it into your instincts, your time will become shorter than your enemy’s, and that’s enough.”

The mainstream martial arts’ train of thought was that simple and crude. It all boiled to these words: Form your stance and execute your power.

And in real fights, most of the hunting squads had martial artists practicing the Beast Soul Style, Machine Armor Style, and Gun Fighting Style following around the martial artists practicing the Overkill Style, and these martial artists had monster controllers, machine masters, or heroic spirit users by their side. Perhaps they would even have a large group of normal soldiers and tanks or armored cars helping them.

They could work together and launch attacks one after another. Hence, the problem of accumulating power, stiffening up, and cooling down was not really a problem.

The students mastered many killing moves in their classes and cultivation centers. When sparred against each other, all sorts of sparks flew around, and it was incredibly dazzling.

The newer anyone was to their technique, the less likely they were to be able to control the surge of their spirit energy. Their spirit tattoos would shine brilliantly, and their spirit energy would spread out, which made the electricity even more dazzling. They were fighting like amateurs, but they were somehow also fighting as desperately as peerless elites, and it helped them walk further down the path. In fact, they even started running through it.

But they did not know that in the underground basement of the old lecturer hall of the martial arts course, the brand new Ultimate Style was being quietly created. It had now taken root and sprouted.

The main participants of the Ultimate Style Project were just Gu Jianbo and Meng Chao.

So, they had to work themselves to the core. They were the researchers as well as the experiment subjects. They were also the modifiers of the cultivation machines, and sometimes had to go out to get more investments. Meng Chao even had to form a close relationship with Yan Feirou, a future entrepreneur.

Meng Chao was new to this whole thing. Aside from forming a closer relationship with Yan Feirou, his main role was the experiment subject. He was often submerged in different medicinal concoctions to train.

In the beginning, Gu Jianbo refused to let him do this.

After all, no one knew better than him just how painful and dangerous it was to cultivation the branch meridians.

Gu Jianbo was still thinking about doing it himself.

But Meng Chao knew that the future Blade Dancer had already accumulated many hidden injuries and could not be allowed to go through any more suffering.

Anyway, Meng Chao had endured pain that had sent him close to death in his previous life. And not just once.

He also had the Initial Stage Healing Skill and the Middle Stage Healing Skill to get rid of all his hidden injuries.

As long as he had enough nutrients, he could torture his body however he wanted.

Hence, he bravely volunteered for the first experiment. He stayed for a total of three hours in the cultivation cabin modified from a medical cabin and gritted his teeth to bear the great pain while ensuring that his mental strength index remained stable as he guided the electricity and spirit energy into his branch meridians. As if he was guiding a thread through a needle hole, he cleared the fine branch meridians one by one.

When he crawled out of the cultivation cabin with great difficulty, his blood vessels all burst apart, and his skin burned red, as if he was being roasted.

Gu Jianbo turned pale. He thought that his spirit energy had deviated.

But Meng Chao used two Initial Stage Healing Skills and drank two high-calorie nutritional fluids made from superbeast blood, and in ten minutes, he regained normal skin color.

During the entire process, his mental strength index had fluctuated between eighty percent and one hundred twenty percent, but he did not go over the warning line.

This performance left Gu Jianbo, who was a four-star superhuman and had seen many things, dumbfounded. He was forced to believe Meng Chao’s words now. The boy was really a monster whose cell regeneration ability was ten times greater than that of a normal person.

Dragon City was a land of miracles, and many citizens were born with all sorts of strange divine abilities.

When superhumans awakened, they sometimes also activated strange abilities.

Gu Jianbo did not think much about it. He could only marvel at his tremendous luck. Meng Chao was truly a blessing from heaven. If he did not manage to create Ultimate Style like this, he would give up on being a human!

From that day on, Meng Chao was practically in the lab every day, and he went through three-to-five experimental cultivations that lasted for more than ten hours.

Every time they went through an experiment, his blood vessels and nerves tore up and created fine wounds. It had an impact on his organs, and a lot of blood flowed out of his pores.

But as long as he traded his points for the Initial Stage Healing Skill and drank a lot of gene medicine, high-calorie nutritional fluids, and ate monster flesh, he could restore his health instantly. It also filled him with energy.

Of course, the price he needed to pay for the Initial Stage Healing Skill just kept on growing.

In the beginning, it was one thousand contribution points, but now, it was nearly two thousand points.

Meng Chao guessed that it was because the injuries he was accumulating were getting worse, so the difficulty in treating them continued to get higher.

But it was nothing. He had tens of thousands of contribution points. Aside from awakening the skills he needed for his compulsory courses, he threw all his points into healing himself.

Besides, each time they went through an experiment, a notification popped up in his field of vision, congratulating him on making outstanding contributions to the birth of the Ultimate Style. It gave him hundreds or sometimes even more than one thousand contribution points.

The points he gained and traded off offset each other. Every time he gave up more than one thousand contribution points, he had the chance to save Gu Jianbo and more of his peers’ lives.

He felt that it was worth it.

Time passed, and half a month went by. Meng Chao and Gu Jianbo finished their 112th experiment.

As they repeatedly modified the medicine formulae, changed the strength and frequency of the bioelectricity, and modified the medical cabins the pain Meng Chao suffered while he cultivated grew lesser, and the effect when he cleared his branch meridians also became better.

In the darkness, they gradually saw a path formed by dazzling stars leading them to the skies.

Meng Chao’s cultivation base grew day by day.

His senses grew sharper, his organs became much better, and the amount of spirit energy his limbs could contain grew higher as well.

When he carefully guided spirit energy into the branch meridians around his eye sockets, he could see the fine letters of a notebook more than one hundred meters away.

When he guided spirit energy into the spot behind his nasal cavity, he could tell that the canteen was cooking dozens of dishes while being hundreds of meters away based on the smell. He could also identify most of the ingredients.

When he guided spirit energy into his cochlea, he could hear autumn leaves falling down, the whispers of the wind, and worms squirming about in the ground, getting entangled with each other.

As for the sensitivity of his touch…

In the first few days, when he could not control it at will, he was so sensitive that he could not wear clothes, if cloth rubbed against his crotch, he ended up getting tingles.

But he did not know just how much his fighting strength had increased because of his incredibly sensitive senses.

However, it benefitted him in every way when it came to supporting courses.

As agreed, Meng Chao went to the resource course to be an assistant for two hours every day.

Very soon, he became a target for Ning Shewo and all the other lecturers to fight over in the resource course.

He was also the nightmare of all new students and even the upperclassmen in the resource course.

His harvesting skills improved by leaps and bounds, and his meticulous control over the monsters’ mutated organs was matchless among his peers. It allowed the lecturers he helped to feel like they could do whatever they wished, and their harvests would still be perfect.

The only problem was that after they worked with Meng Chao and called over their own students, they felt that they could not perform smoothly no matter what. Even when they performed the simplest movements, they felt that there were hiccups everywhere, and they no longer felt the pleasurable feeling of operating smoothly.

The lecturers became increasingly gloomy, and they could not help but scold their students.

“Look at how careless you are. How could you not even be able to compete with a new student from a martial arts course?”

The new students from the resource course moaned incessantly. ‘Meng Chao is a monster. You might not find one of him even in ten years. How can we hope to compare?’

In the beginning, some people could not take this lying down and wanted to compete with this boy from the martial arts course.

However, the three sophomores were all stunned by Meng Chao’s lightning fast and perfect movements, and no new student acted hostilely toward him anymore.

Their hostility faded away even more when Meng Chao spoke with great familiarity about various mutated monsters. Before the lecturers could say anything, he would give clear explanations about mutated organs that the new students had never seen before and which looked completely different from the ones in textbooks.

He could tell them how the organ mutated, what its functions were, how they should harvest it, and how it could be refined with other materials. There was nothing that he did not know.

The resource course students were dumbfounded, and they could only be impressed by him.

This was the weird thing about human psychology. When the difference between the two sides was not great, the weaker party might get jealous.

But when the distance was so wide that the other party could not even get close, the person would become idolized as if it were completely normal.

There were also a few students from Ninth High School who had gotten into Agricultural University.

Hence, very soon, Ace Student Chao’s name spread from Ninth High School to Agricultural University’s resource course.

As Meng Chao faded further into obscurity in the martial arts course and became a nobody, he became a legendary existence in the resource course.
