Chapter 042 Subsidy Received
The call was just connected.
Shangguan Ling's soft, sweet voice came through the receiver: "Lin Bei, are you up?"
"Just...woke up."
Lin Bei feigned a yawn. "Why are you calling so early? Is something wrong?"
"Your certification exam is showing some progress."
Shangguan Ling said in a light tone, "A friend of my mother's happens to know a senior spiritual micro-sculptor named Chen, who is one of the vice presidents of our Haicheng Spiritual Micro-sculptor Association."
Lin Bei's spirits lifted. "And then?"
"My mom has already contacted Master Chen through a friend, and we should hear from him in the next couple of days at the earliest... Why don't you come over to my house this weekend?"
"OK."
Lin Bei readily agreed.
After chatting for a few more minutes, the two hung up the phone.
"There's so much to do..."
As Lin Bei stepped out of the room, he immediately smelled the aroma of stewed meat wafting from the kitchen.
It seems that Mom has already cooked those ten pounds of exotic beast meat from last night.
It will be ready to eat when I get back tonight.
He swallowed hard and rushed into the bathroom.
……
In the morning meditation class.
Han Mingdao continued explaining the "Elementary Visualization Method".
Lin Bei sat in the last row, listening to the lecture while pondering its meaning in his mind.
There are two main methods of spiritual cultivation: meditation and visualization.
Meditation is a method that pursues spiritual self-growth and does not rely on external forces.
Contemplation, on the other hand, seeks spiritual resonance with the outside world, requiring external assistance to gain spiritual insights and ultimately achieve spiritual sublimation.
Visualization is the best external force.
The special spiritual imprint contained within the image can provide martial artists with a continuous stream of spiritual insights…
The first step in visualization is 'visualization'.
It is somewhat similar to mental perception, but the object of mental perception is generally an external entity, such as air, water, flowers, trees, etc.
The object of visualization is the spiritual will that transcends reality.
A glint of inspiration flashed in Lin Bei's eyes.
"The mental energy scanning algorithm I wrote scans my own mental energy... and a person's mental energy is the outward manifestation of their mental will... so, by using the core idea of the mental energy scanning algorithm, I may be able to achieve the 'observation' in the visualization method."
With that in mind, he immediately put it to the test.
A wisp of tangible spiritual energy surged from between his brows, transforming into an invisible net that slowly swept across the entire classroom…
Just started.
Apart from the desks, chairs, and floor in the classroom, and the people radiating life, he could not sense anything else.
But Lin Bei was not discouraged.
He continued to sense things while adjusting his mental energy.
suddenly--
What did he "see"?
Those were orbs of light of various colors, floating above everyone's head.
among them.
The halo above Teacher Han's head was the largest and most conspicuous.
It was about the size of a fist, bluish-green in color, and emitted a strange fluctuation.
"Could what I'm seeing be... Teacher Han's spirit and will?"
Lin Beixin had an epiphany.
He then looked at the other people in the classroom.
Compared to Teacher Han, the orbs of light above the heads of the others were much smaller.
The aura above Song Che's head was about half the size of an egg and was white in color. Next was the aura of class monitor Meng Shuyu, which was slightly smaller and lighter in color than Song Che's.
The ball of light above Wan Yang's head was only the size of a thumb, and its light was dim.
At last.
He looked at himself.
All they saw was a hazy white light, both real and illusory, making it impossible to see through.
Lin Bei surveyed the area and was about to withdraw his mental energy.
"what?"
Han Mingdao, standing on the podium, seemed to have sensed something.
He glanced in the direction of Lin Bei, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"So fast..."
This course, "Elementary Visualization Method," is a spiritual cultivation method prepared for college students.
A high school student, who had just started learning cultivation techniques yesterday, has already stepped into the first threshold of visualization today.
This is unheard of!
"It seems that what Teacher Yao said was true... This kid's talent in mental strength is nothing short of monstrous."
Han Mingdao looked away and continued teaching, acting as if nothing had happened.
But the smile on his lips couldn't be hidden no matter how hard he tried.
Many years have passed.
He then encountered another exceptional gem.
Moreover, he seems to be even more outstanding than the one from thirty years ago.
The next two physical training classes.
Just like yesterday, Lin Bei completed his physical training with a 150-kilogram load and then continued practicing the final move of "Advanced Physical Techniques".
With the help of the [Panel], his muscle coordination rate steadily improved.
……
in the afternoon.
Two sessions on Qi and Blood.
He continued to practice the "Intermediate Guiding Technique" to open up the energy and blood flow nodes in his body.
This was followed by two combat skills lessons.
Lin Bei returned to that lounge.
Cao Luo spent half a class period demonstrating all the remaining moves and techniques from "Basic Combat Techniques: Fist and Foot Techniques" to him.
"You can practice the rest on your own. I want to see results in a month."
After saying that, Cao Luo dusted himself off and left.
Lin Bei watched her leave.
Silently repeat to yourself, "Panel, start!"
In the lounge.
Lin Bei was sweating profusely, practicing his boxing again and again.
With the help of the panel, every time he throws a punch, it automatically detects data such as muscle coordination rate and the timing of blood and qi burst, and compares it with the "Teacher Cao model" in his mind.
Once a deviation is detected, it is corrected immediately.
By the end of the two combat skills classes, he had mastered all of the dozen or so sets of fist techniques.
"Leg training will begin tomorrow..."
Lin Bei walked out of the lounge and saw Teacher Cao gathering everyone together, so he quickly went over as well.
"Everyone's here, I have something to announce."
Cao Luo glanced at everyone and said, "This month's cultivation allowance has been issued, and the rewards for the last final exam will also be distributed this time. You can go to the school's general affairs office to collect them now."
"Very good!"
The crowd immediately cheered.
Lin Bei was secretly excited. After waiting for several days, he finally received his first subsidy.
"Walk."
Everyone eagerly headed to the school's general affairs office, while Lin Bei followed leisurely behind.
"Lin Bei".
Wan Yang leaned closer to him and said, "You got thirteenth in the grade in the final exam, which means you're eligible for the third-tier reward. Plus the monthly stipend, this is definitely a big win for you."
"You'll only know once you receive it."
Lin Bei glanced at him and casually asked, "What tier of reward can you get?"
"Fourth gear."
Wan Yang said, "The top three in our class are in the first tier, the fourth to tenth are in the second tier, the eleventh to twentieth are in the third tier, and the bottom ten can only get the fourth tier. The rewards for each tier are vastly different."
He sighed, "With my bottom-of-the-barrel performance, I'd be lucky to even get a reward."
As they were talking.
The group arrived at the school's office building.
The school's general affairs office is located on the west side of the first floor and has more than a dozen independent offices.
at this time.
A long queue had already formed outside the school's general affairs office.
Besides the students in the second year of high school (1), students from other elite classes also came to receive subsidies.
I waited in line for half an hour.
After signing the papers, Lin Bei finally received his first subsidy and a reward for his final exams.
