"Xiao Chen! How is it!"
When Xiao Chen regained consciousness, the first thing he saw was Luo Ling's anxious face. She held Xiao Chen's arm with one hand and supported his back with the other.
There was no indifference in her eyes just now, and her concern was about to overflow. Xiao Chen looked into her big eyes and suddenly realized that the person in front of him was like the little girl, willing to make the greatest sacrifice for him.
His throat suddenly choked up, and the person in front of him patted his back hard, as if afraid that he would suffocate.
Xiao Chen patted her hand and gently held it.
"I'm fine." He said seriously.
Then he said to everyone present: "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission."
As soon as he finished speaking, the light on the Sea of Consciousness Scroll slowly faded, and Mao Kai, who had been standing there in a daze, closed his eyes and fell backwards. Xiao Chen held him up and called Liu Yisheng to carry him to the emergency bed.

"So it takes a special secret concentration technique to form a meditation space?" Guo Qian looked serious after listening to Xiao Chen's report. "In addition to Mao Kai and Liu Pengfei, we have four other volunteers participating in the experiment. It won't be long before they reach the bottleneck of concentration."
Xiao Chen said: "I suggest that they use the breakthrough method that comes with the Hanging Feather Method. Although the spiritual consciousness formed will be weaker than the effect of the "Sea of Consciousness Shadow Scroll", there is no meditation space available, and the cultivation speed will be lower, but after all, the risk is relatively small. Mao Kai is a person with a very strong will, so he insisted until I intervened in the ceremony. If it were someone else, it would be hard to say."
Chang Lin shook his head and said, "This is too much of a sacrifice. You have a first-rate method but you don't use it. Instead, you use a third-rate method... This will affect future development. Pengfei, I think you should adopt the same approach as Mao Kai. This time, let Xiao Chen preside over the ceremony from the beginning. The risk will surely be much smaller."
"Teacher Chang, this... Xiao Chen said that Mao Kai will have to lie down for a long time. And it will be very painful when the world is formed. I think..." Liu Pengfei said hesitantly, not at all as confident as usual.
Chang Lin frowned and said, "Pengfei, a grown man should not be timid and not think about the long term. Xiao Chen, you will leave to visit the earl tomorrow, so why not take the trouble to help Pengfei complete the ceremony in the afternoon."
Guo Qian looked at Liu Pengfei's increasingly pale face and advised, "Teacher Chang, I know you are doing this for Xiao Liu's own good. However, opening up a meditation space has a lot to do with one's own will. I think Xiao Liu still needs to adjust his state. And Xiao Chen also needs to get used to the "Shadow Scroll of Consciousness". I think this is how it should be. Let Xiao Chen take the "Shadow Scroll of Consciousness" with him. This trip to the Earl will probably take another month. He should be able to become more familiar with the skills of hosting the ceremony. When he comes back, Liu Pengfei and others who want to use the "Shadow Scroll of Consciousness" to break through should also be fully prepared."

In the school gymnasium, Kalanda was standing in the training room in a sports suit instead of leather armor, facing a row of ten guard battalion members, all of whom were obviously selected, strong and energetic. There were three spectators on the side, namely Katarina, Chen Hansheng, and Qin Mu from the geology team. Katarina was a little absent-minded, often distracted, but there was always a faint smile on the corner of her mouth. Chen Hansheng was smiling and listening to Kalanda's lecture. I don't know if he was listening more or watching more. Only Qin Mu held a notebook in his hand, and while listening to Kalanda, he was seriously recording something.
After Qin Mu finished writing a sentence, he turned around and saw Chen Hansheng's smiling face, and joked: "Old Chen, this time it was thanks to your beauty trick that I persuaded Captain Kalanda to share such an important thing. You deserve a great contribution."
When Chen Hansheng heard about the "Beauty Trap", his expression became even more proud. "Hey, people get along with each other step by step. Just make requests at the right stage and grasp the right scale. Sometimes, when you make a request, the other party is happy. That means you need her. Look how motivated she is now."
When he said this, Kalanda looked over at him and gave him a hidden smile.
Qin Mu saw it and said, "I admire you. You are a role model for my generation."
Chen Hansheng put his hand on Qin Mu's shoulder and patted him. Seeing that Qin Mu's record was written very carefully, he asked, "Old Qin, I still don't understand why the school sent you here to do research on fighting spirit?"
Qin Mu smiled and said, "I am not just a geologist. In order to strengthen my physique, I have also studied sports training and have attended their classes seriously. The bigwigs of the committee expect me to use my professional perspective to analyze the training methods of fighting spirit."
“No wonder.”
Kalanda continued on the stage: "… There is no shortcut to cultivating Dou Qi. It can only burst out in a life-and-death battle. However, people with unobstructed meridians and strong bodies are much more likely to obtain Dou Qi than ordinary people. My set of body-building techniques is called 'Mountain-building Technique', and its purpose is to build a solid body before generating Dou Qi…"
Chen Hansheng glanced over and saw Qin Mu wrote on his notebook: Dou Qi Awakening - Adrenaline. He asked curiously, "Old Qin, do you think Dou Qi is stimulated by adrenaline?"
Qin Mu nodded and said, "One guess is that if we talk about the difference between a person's body in a critical situation and in normal times, adrenaline is one of the most important differences. I am wondering if in this magical world, adrenaline stimulates the body, and combined with the magic power of the outside world, it will produce something like fighting spirit. If so, after the training is in place, we can directly inject adrenaline. In any case, we can speed up the production of a few masters."
Hearing this, Chen Hansheng couldn't help but admire the other party's idea. If he could really exchange a few bottles of potion for a few experts, it would be a good deal no matter how you look at it.
At this time, Kalanda has begun to introduce specific actions.
A large number of stone tools carved into various shapes had been prepared in the training room. Kalanda picked up two suitcase-sized stone locks and began to perform the exercises. She made a posture similar to horse stance, and the two stone locks began to fly over her body, lifting, carrying, throwing, grabbing, carrying, and pushing. She used two stones to perform a series of coherent and graceful movements. She danced for about five minutes. At the end, she threw the two stone locks to a height of three meters, jumped up, caught up with the stone locks, held one in each hand, flew down, and placed them firmly on the ground. Some of the students below couldn't help but applaud, and immediately warm applause rang out in the training room.
Karanda did not use her fighting spirit throughout the entire process. She was already sweating slightly after performing the set of movements. She took the towel thrown to her by Chen Hansheng, wiped her sweat and said, "This is the most basic set of movements. Each one is used to train a specific muscle. After you have mastered the first set, there will be four more difficult sets of movements later."
Kalanda waved and asked Katarina to stand in front. The green-haired girl wore a black long-sleeved T-shirt with a white lapel, jeans and a ponytail. She looked very modern, like a high school student with a strange hair color. She held two stone locks that were smaller than Kalanda's and was ready for the "Mountain Building Technique".
"Katerina is only sixteen years old, but she has already reached the fourth level of 'Mountain Building Technique'. Everyone, hold the stone locks and follow her movements. I will help you correct them..."
Qin Mu watched these movements carefully and even sketched them in his notebook. Chen Hansheng asked, "What does this mean?"
"I'm looking at the muscles that are trained by each movement. Whether it's using a stone lock or our modern training equipment, the end result is still to train specific muscles. I believe that the training methods we have are not worse than hers, and at least they can serve as a supplement to improve efficiency."
At this moment, everyone was following Catalina's movements of pushing the stone lock forward and pulling it back.
"You see, this movement is obviously used to exercise the trapezius and biceps. The rowing machine in our gym can also do this. And the movement is much more stable than holding a stone lock."
"Look again, this shoulder-lock squat can be replaced by a Smith machine. Not only is it easier to adjust the weight, but the training is also safer."
"This jumping and flipping movement is not good. There is no equipment with a similar effect. It should be retained. But I remember there are two sets of aerobics that have similar movements, which are more graceful than this one. We can refer to them."
"What? Do you still care whether the movements are beautiful or not?" Chen Hansheng laughed.
"Old Chen, you don't understand. Nature has its own aesthetic principles. Since the human body is designed according to this aesthetic principle, the movements made with this body often conform to the same principle. When the muscles and bones are in place, the posture is often the most beautiful. So if you look at it, all kinds of sports and training programs have a kind of beauty. So two similar movements, one graceful and the other ugly. In most cases, the graceful one will be more efficient and have a better training effect."
Chen Hansheng nodded. He thought back to the various fighting techniques he had learned in the army, and it seemed that such principles were contained in them.
At this time, a set of movements had been completed on the field. Among the ten trainees, only four persisted to the end. Everyone else collapsed on the ground like dead pigs, but Catalina was still very energetic.
Qin Mu closed his notebook and said, "Once I have thoroughly studied this series of movements, I will combine them with various equipment to practice. After accumulating experience, I will break them down and combine them into a routine. But by then, I may need Captain Kalanda to help me."
"I think Kalanda will also be very interested in this. Maybe you can improve the efficiency of her family's traditional skills, so it won't be in vain for her to teach us." Chen Hansheng nodded.
"We not only need scientific production, but also scientific practice. Science is not just about things in the laboratory, this is also science for us." Qin Mu patted his notebook and said.
