CHAPTER 56: CHAPTER 50: QI NOURISHING PERFECTION

She remained silent, operating the Divine Text Bureau’s computer.

Soon, a test paper unfolded on the computer screen in front of Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng handed the Demonized Watch to Deng Zhijue and used the keyboard and handwriting tablet to answer questions.

Zhou Leng glanced briefly at the test paper; more than half was about the background knowledge of Divine Text, a quarter was basic text rules, and only the remaining quarter posed some difficulty.

Zhou Leng answered the questions slowly.

During the answering process, the Divine Text stirred his brain matter, making the process exceptionally smooth.

Zhao Nandi occasionally glanced at Zhou Leng, spending most of the time flipping through Divine Text books.

Deng Zhijue sat to the side, carefully monitoring the exam.

He occasionally glanced at Zhao Nandi, noticing that she didn’t have a Demonized Watch, then looked at her temple area to confirm she was using a demonized computer worth millions.

An hour later, Zhou Leng finished the test and carefully reviewed it, correcting errors.

"Teacher, I have finished answering."

Zhao Nandi looked at the time expressionlessly, nodded slightly without saying a word.

Zhou Leng chose to submit the test, took back the Demonized Watch, and left the classroom.

After handing over to Zhao Nandi, Deng Zhijue left the examination room.

Zhao Nandi graded the test while looking at answers.

All multiple-choice questions were correct.

All fill-in-the-blank questions were correct.

All short-answer questions were correct.

Zhao Nandi gently nodded, very impressive for a freshman at the Martial Arts Hall.

Finally, Zhao Nandi looked at the last three major Divine Text questions.

The first major question was completely correct.

The second major question was completely correct.

For the third major question, Zhao Nandi slightly frowned.

This question involved interpreting a series of surface texts, and compared to the correct answer, Zhou Leng misinterpreted one semantic aspect, resulting in a complete error in the interpretation.

One piece of surface text, translated into Chinese, meant "running toward one direction," but Zhou Leng’s answer was "flying low forward."

This is one of the difficulties of Divine Text; because the information is highly compressed, slight errors in understanding can lead to completely mismatched meanings.

Zhao Nandi finally scored it.

With a perfect score of 150, Zhao Nandi hesitated for a moment and scored 135.

Though the last major question should deduct 20 points entirely, the problem-solving steps and direction were perfect, making it too regrettable to deduct all 20 points as she believed this candidate had full-score potential.

After proctoring, Zhao Nandi got up.

Beneath her simple white lab coat, smooth black stockings were exposed, disappearing above her knees into a black skirt.

Zhao Nandi left the laboratory to cultivate for an hour at the Divine Text Bureau’s Martial Arts Dojo, then returned to her dormitory.

She took a simple shower, put on a white bathrobe, and habitually browsed the "Divine Literature Network," soon seeing today’s newly released version of "Divine Text Correction."

The Divine Text is profound; both humans and the Demon Spirit World have only studied its surface, and errors often occur.

Therefore, the Divine Text domain had to develop a habit of frequent corrections.

A new version of Divine Text Correction typically comes out every month or half month, avoiding error in research direction.

Lazily lying on the sofa, Zhao Nandi browsed through the latest "Divine Text Correction."

She read slowly, and upon reaching the last correction, her eyes brightened.

Zhao Nandi’s previously beautiful eyes now exuded even more charm.

She recalled today’s final exam, revisiting the last test paper to the final answer page.

Identical to the new correction content.

She checked the release time of "Divine Text Correction," ten minutes after the exam.

A shimmer flashed in Zhao Nandi’s eyes as her forefinger gently tapped the sofa armrest.

Aside from luck, the greatest possibility was that this Zhou Leng had profound insight in Divine Text.

At least, his understanding of certain Divine Texts was strong.

After a while, she nodded slightly.

Accelerate the issuance of a basic Divine Text researcher certificate, then find time to send him an intermediate Divine Text researcher qualification exam invitation for a local Divine Text Bureau written test to examine the real level.

If he’s truly a Divine Text genius, intensive training is essential.

The Divine Text domain is too lacking in talent.

After cultivating with demonized equipment at the Martial Arts Dojo, Zhou Leng ate eight dinners at school and went back under the Frost Giant Tree to practice inner and external skills techniques.

Since he had just consumed a Replenishing Essence Pill yesterday, to maximize the efficacy, the third Replenishing Essence Pill would wait a few days before consumption.

Next, Zhou Leng entered the Martial Hall’s daily learning and cultivation routine.

Each morning began with training under the Frost Giant Tree, followed by a run around the narrow Longyou River Park, then breakfast at the Ruda cafeteria.

A morning of classes and a short rest after lunch, afternoon practicing in the Martial Hall with demonized equipment, focusing on strengthening the body.

After dinner in the evening, back under the Frost Giant Tree for more training, then sleep.

So passed a whole week.

The Martial Hall’s class president election proceeded as scheduled, which Zhou Leng did not participate in.

Chang Luan happily became the class president and found an opportunity to praise Zhou Leng, with no further interaction.

On a new Monday morning, Zhou Leng ran out of Xiaoru Village.

Halfway through the run, Zhou Leng felt his inner Qi full and surging.

He quickly found a deserted spot to sit and activated the Mystic Tide Technique.

"The tide arises in the Primordial, traverses the Four Seas. Rivers connect nine directions, reach Dan Lake. Waters flow into the Celestial River..."

Heart Texts are like Books, Inner Vision as a Painting.

Again and again he circulated the Mystic Tide Technique, vast waves of True Qi surged within him like the waters of the Yangtze River and the waves of the Yellow River, ceaselessly flowing.

After an unknown period, Zhou Leng only felt multiple areas in his body suddenly open.

In his introspection, the deep blue True Qi carved out new paths.

His skin, muscles, bones, and organs’ surfaces were densely covered with webs of deep blue meridians.

His entire body was enveloped by deep blue True Qi.

Strands of True Qi penetrated through the skin pores, moving outward with a faint spraying sound.

His clothes slightly puffed up, with a gentle wind inside.

Zhou Leng took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, opening his eyes.

Qi Nourishing Perfection, Qi emerged from the skin.

A faint smile of joy appeared in Zhou Leng’s eyes.

Consuming three Replenishing Essence Pills had indeed accelerated growth.

The sensation of hunger swiftly accumulated.

Zhou Leng was prepared; a Great Nourishing Pill went down.

He stood up and headed straight to his favorite place now.

The Ruda cafeteria.

Zhou Leng used the Demonized Watch to time himself, starting a Qi-control run.

After finishing, he checked the time.

minutes and 02 seconds.

Last time, he endured for 5 minutes and 31 seconds.

Normally, for someone with Qi Nourishing Perfection, Qi-control runs can only be sustained for around 5 minutes and 30 seconds.

Zhou Leng returned to the Ruda cafeteria and devoured nine meals, completely satisfying his body’s hunger.

At class 01’s Martial Arts Hall, more than half of the classmates were already engaged in morning exercise.

Feng Wenhao glanced over, waved, continued training, then suddenly stopped and came closer, staring at Zhou Leng.

"Your eyes look much brighter, like wolves at night. Another breakthrough?"

"Qi Nourishing Perfection."

"Awesome! Qi out of the skin means you can explode water while bathing."

Zhou Leng joined the training.

Soon, everyone finished training and collapsed on the ground, chatting away.

During the conversation, Wei Hong exclaimed, "Oh my god, Martial Arts City’s Rucheng College forum is blowing up, the people from West Sea Martial Arts Academy are going crazy, you guys check it out."

"What’s going on?"

"Mountain and River Origin passed the seventh layer of Copper Man Array, defeated at the eighth layer, not because they couldn’t fight but due to True Qi exhaustion."

"Oh my gosh..."

"That’s intense."

"I’m not even qualified to go!"
