Chapter 2: A Brief History of Cultivation
The next day, the sun was just right.
Ma Fu got up early in the morning and took the basic boxing method seriously!
Then, after breakfast, I went directly to the Zhixue Building, and this morning was the last session of the course "A Brief History of Cultivation" in the university.
And from today, the courses in the university will end one after another in the next week or so, and their current class, about to graduate, is about to face the most important choice in this life.
"! Mafu! What do you plan to do after graduation? To the school building, 4310, in the back row of the bright lecture hall, Zhou Yang, who was dark-skinned and slightly chubby, sat down next to Ma Fu and asked casually.
As he spoke, he tapped his fingers on the table in front of him, and a book with more than 300 pages of simple color emerged.
With the flip of the finger, the page changes rapidly, just like the rapid turning of the page of a real paper book, and it is completely impossible to see that this is the effect of a holographic projection.
Without waiting for Ma Fu to respond, Zhou Yang still said very casually, "But, by the way, Fu'er, you are really ready to apply for this immigration!" β
"Hmm!" Ma Fuse nodded calmly, his black eyes full of determination.
He won't pass up this opportunity.
"Huh!" Listening to Ma Fu's somewhat light but firm response, a wry smile appeared on Zhou Yang's slightly chubby face, paused slightly, and sighed, "Alas! Ma Fu, how to say it, it's not buddies who hit your self-confidence, you see, ordinary people like us who have no background, want resources but no resources, want exercises but no exercises, if you want to break through the viscera realm, how can it be so easy to apply for immigration! β
"I think it's okay, with your current state and the qualifications you can obtain, you can find a job to stabilize first, and then slowly cultivate! The next time those lords come to their home planet to recruit immigrants, you'll definitely be able to break through! β
"At that time, if you want to emigrate, it's not easy!"
"Anyway, we have a lifespan of hundreds of years now, so there's no need to do it this time!" Zhou Yang persuaded in his mouth, Ma Fu's martial arts qualifications, he knew that he was by no means worse than those so-called geniuses.
The reason why he hasn't broken through the viscera realm like those geniuses now is just because he lacks cultivation resources!
In his heart, Ma Fu is actually too anxious, he doesn't agree, of course, this is mainly because martial arts cultivation, for ordinary people like them who have no background, if they are in a hurry, it hurts their bodies.
And this is not without precedent!
It seems that those who are in such a hurry to succeed and practice themselves to death, whether it is the home planet or other administrative stars of the alliance, but there are many of them, and they can often receive relevant news on the brain.
As a friend, he didn't want to see Mafu like that!
"Huh! Zhou Yang, don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to damage my body to break through! For Zhou Yang's kind persuasion, Ma Fu only shook his head slightly, how could he not be clear about these truths, but it was not that he couldn't, but he didn't want to! Unwilling!
The experience of his youth made him tenacious, and he knew very well what the essence of this world and this era was, and with him, he would not give up even a chance!
Even if it's slim! He's going to give it his all!
Here's your chance! And the opportunity can only be made possible if it is seized! Only if he seizes it, he has a chance......
"Thanks, though!" The thought flickered, paused slightly, Ma Fu added in a low voice, and then, his eyes moved slightly, and he looked out the window leisurely, and his thoughts became fluttering.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang didn't care, as Ma Fu's friend, he also knew Ma Fu's temperament, he was addicted to martial arts, extremely hardworking, and seemed a little taciturn!
"Perhaps! This is also the reason why this guy can step into the bone refining realm early without much resource supply" Zhou Yang was silent in his heart, but soon, he shook his head silently and smiled bitterly.
To be honest, he doesn't have Ma Fu qualifications, he doesn't think about immigration, and he doesn't have any ambitions, and he has also thought about the future, and he will live in his home planet safely.
His family also helped him get through the relationship, as long as his grades are not bad this time, after graduation, he can enter the Union Bank and become a small clerk, and he will be safe and stable for the rest of his life, which is not bad.
Thinking about it, glancing at Ma Fu in contemplation, Zhou Yang shook his head, and simply ignored it, everyone has their own ambitions, and Ma Fu's martial arts talent is not weak, although it seems to be a little radical in such a short period of time, but it is impossible to say that it is really possible.
As his thoughts turned, Zhou Yang got up slightly, lay on the table in front of him, poked his head out, and joined the small talk of several people in the front row.
"This guy ......" But soon, Ma Fu suddenly turned his head, frowned, and looked at Ma Fu who was frowning slightly, with a strange look in his eyes, "How do I feel, it seems to be much more handsome than yesterday?" Gee! It's a lot of weird things! β
"! Mafu! Did you notice, why are all those girls looking at you today? More than ten minutes passed, Zhou Yang couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, turned around and patted Ma Fu, curiosity appeared on his face, and there was a little scrutiny.
Although Ma Fu was interrupted from his contemplation, he didn't care, just smiled slightly.
Zhou Yang touched his chin, looked at Ma Fu quite seriously, and played a little with the taste, "Tsk!" Mafu! How do I feel as if you are more handsome today than ever! β
said, and accosted Yang Quan in the front row, "Xiao Quanzi, have you found it, Ma Fu seems to be handsome again!" β
"! It seems to be a little! Being reminded by Zhou Yang like this, Yang Quan immediately agreed, in fact, he also felt that something was wrong before.
Now, after being reminded by Zhou Yang, it suddenly dawned on me where the feeling that something was wrong in my heart came from.
Looking at Ma Fu, his thoughts turned, and a strange and narrow smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Hehe, I said, Fu'er, why do those girls keep looking over here!" That's what happened."
"Tsk! Fu'er, here's your chance! Then Su Xiao's big beauty looked at you again,......"
"Hahaha!"
β¦β¦
Boys from several neighboring dormitories laughed.
"Huh!" Ma Fu was listening, and he was also smiling, but he was only ridiculing Zhou Yang and them again, and he didn't pay attention to it, he waved his hand casually, and once again pondered about the problems that existed in his current cultivation.
Preparing to ask some senior instructors of the martial arts hall for advice on these problems he encountered in martial arts cultivation when he went to the martial arts hall for retreat.
In fact, although Ma Fu is a little handsome, he has a dark complexion and is usually not popular with the girls in the class, but after experiencing the turmoil of his thoughts caused by yesterday's "Colonization in the Age of Discovery", and the final complete calm, at this moment, he has a little more indescribable taste.
Let Ma Fu, who is already more stable than his peers, look more calm!
Invisibly, it seems, Ma Fuping has added a bit of charm!
However, Ma Fu, who was immersed in thinking, was completely ignorant of these.
Besides, when it comes to men and women, he doesn't have those thoughts right now.
β¦β¦
Time passed slowly, and the class time was gradually approaching, but the 4310 classroom was still noisy, and at a glance, except for Ma Fu and a few men and women, they were all chatting.
After all, their college years are coming to an end, and it's time for them to choose their future path, really set foot in society, and go their separate ways.
At this time, often, there are a lot of topics to talk about, of course, in this 4310 classroom, the most is still chatting, mixed with sighs.
After all, those who enter Dragon City University are basically ordinary births, and after graduation, it is almost impossible to do anything in this bright and attractive interstellar era!
In this era, a powerful martial artist is the protagonist of the starry sky, and being born ordinary means that there are not enough cultivation resources and no powerful exercises, which means that the chance of becoming a powerful martial artist is even smaller.
And a weak person, in this era, wants to have any achievements, wants to have a brilliant life, then it is really hehe.
I can't say it's impossible, I can only say it's hard! Hard!
In this regard, I have to say that Ma Fu is a genius who cultivates martial arts, and without sufficient resources and powerful exercises, when he graduated from college, he had already touched the viscera realm.
This is not inferior to those alliance geniuses.
"Ahem!" Suddenly, an abrupt dry cough rang out in the classroom.
It's not loud, it's not loud, and it's even mild.
But it contains powerful energy, at this moment, in this noisy classroom, this voice is clearly transmitted to everyone's ears, it is Ma Fu who fell into contemplation, at this moment, at the moment when the voice sounded, the heart seemed to be hammered, and the whole person was a spirit, awakened from contemplation.
Immediately, almost subconsciously, Ma Fu looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw that at the door of the classroom, an old man with gray hair but a tall figure and a ruddy face appeared.
"Professor Tang!" In an instant, a thought came to Ma Fu's mind.
At this time, with Professor Tang's dry cough, there was already silence in the classroom, as if Professor Tang had some terrifying deterrent power.
Faced with such a performance, the white-haired Professor Tang glanced at everyone in the classroom with a calm face and a gentle smile.
At this moment, facing the pair of calm and smiling eyes, Ma Fu was like an electric shock, and hurriedly missed this gaze, and his body sat up straight!
In fact, at this moment, all the students in the classroom, unconsciously, are already sitting upright! Look solemn! In the classroom, you can almost hear a pin!
It was as noisy as before.
But in fact, it was really right to be so noisy before, and the reason why it was so quiet now was only one point, that is, Ma Fu and they were really a little afraid of this Professor Tang in their hearts!
After a semester, they knew very well that the old man at the door, don't look at some kind eyebrows, just an old man, but the other party is a powerful martial artist in the real viscera realm!
Just these students who were born ordinary, have no background, and only enjoy the compulsory education of the alliance, want to be presumptuous in front of this Professor Tang, it is purely looking for abuse!
Among them, even Ma Fu, who was the most powerful in martial arts cultivation, was far from being the opponent of Professor Tang, who had been accumulating in the viscera realm for decades.
In this day and age, there's nothing that can't be physically punished!
In fact, nowadays, Ma Fu and his people just don't dare to be disrespectful to even a professor.
If you want to challenge the authority of teachers, in today's university, or even expand to any school, as an ordinary student, you must be prepared to be ravaged!
In this era, even if it is a teacher of Mengxue, he has a very good martial arts cultivation! Even, many of them have fought with the appearance civilization in the starry sky or with the natives in the colonial star, which is quite ruthless!
What kind of moth do you want to do, ordinary born students, no matter how talented they are, if they don't have sufficient cultivation resources and advanced martial arts techniques, how can they be the opponents of these teachers!
For example, Ma Fu has experienced a lot since he was a child, and now, he naturally has a lot more respect for teachers.
"Huh! These little guys are still interesting! At the door, Professor Tang's eyes narrowed, a smile appeared on his baby-like face, and he nodded slightly, very satisfied.
As his thoughts turned, he didn't say anything more, stepped out, and walked directly towards the podium in front of him.
Professor Tang, although he is now nearly two hundred years old, he has achieved martial arts and has stood in the viscera realm for nearly a hundred years, and even has touched the realm of refining the marrow, and at this time, his physique is still extremely strong and powerful.
I saw that he was walking like flying, and when he walked, there was a fierce might, and he stepped on the podium in just a few steps.
After a slight pause, he glanced at the silent students in the audience with a slight smile, and he didn't talk nonsense, just started talking!
"Huh!" Professor Tang's laughter was very thick and gentle, but Ma Fu and the others didn't feel straight.
"Students, I guess when you are young, when you see those enlightenment books, you will have such an idea, why did the earth hundreds of millions of years ago, why were there behemoths that were high, hundreds of meters long, weighing several tons or even dozens of tons, why were there those who shook their tails to open mountains and crack rocks, and moved their feet, which was the existence of the earth shaking the mountains, and human beings, with weak bodies, how could they survive in such a cruel environment? And eventually become the master of the earth? In this last section, Professor Tang did not follow the content of the book, but began with a rhetorical question very casually.
In fact, this brief history of cultivation is often told by professors at will.
But this course is a compulsory course for any university in the alliance, because this course is mainly to let the college students of the alliance have a better understanding of martial arts cultivation.
"Is it simply because of our human intelligence? ......" Professor Tang did not pause, and continued to ask.
"Then why, hundreds of millions of years later, those behemoths have disappeared, that is, there are fierce beasts, why are their individuals several times smaller than their ancestors, dozens of times? Why, in our human history, there will be such legends as powerful enemies of dragons, torn tigers and leopards, and opened mountains and cracked stones, is all this just because the ancients were ignorant? Ill hearings makes ill rehearsing? β
"And why, in the past thousand years, on the home planet Earth, many animals have become giant? Why are we human beings so taller and stronger than they were thousands of years ago? β
"Why, some of the wild stars of the alliance have the kind of huge creatures that the mother planet Earth used to be in ancient times?"
β¦β¦
In the quiet classroom, one by one rhetorical questions came from Professor Tang's mouth, and his voice gradually took on a kind of passionate taste.
These seemingly naΓ―ve and seemingly simple rhetorical questions, in fact, contain a new understanding of the starry universe that human beings have had since they set foot in the starry sky for thousands of years.
It's not a rough and simple answer like a very different environment.
And for the warriors, there is a special meaning in this,
This new understanding, in fact, is the foundation for the rise and prosperity of martial arts cultivation to this day.
"Huh! Actually, I had such a curious idea when I was a child! After a slight pause, Professor Tang smiled, and his emotions gradually converged, how to say, he has also been teaching this lesson for decades.
Although his heart is always a little uneasy, after all, fighting in the starry sky, he has great emotions for the rising alliance, and he knows better the meaning of the alliance for the truth contained in these rhetorical questions.
Offstage, at this moment, Ma Fu's heart moved, and he thought of a lot of things.
To put it bluntly, the new "cognition" involved in Professor Tang's words is an alliance and an earth-shaking progress in human history!!
Professor Tang didn't rush to speak again, he looked at the people who were sitting under the podium, looking agitated, and nodded secretly.
In fact, at this moment, in the classroom, everyone's attention was unconsciously more concentrated, and everyone's hearts were a little agitated, although Professor Tang did not say the answer, but they knew that it was the answer that created the glory of the alliance today, forged the path of martial arts, and those powerhouses that crisscrossed the starry sky.
Although, limited by their background, their future martial arts path is limited, and they will not have much achievement in this brilliant world, it does not prevent them from being excited about this kind of cognitive progress that transcends the times at the moment.
Anyway, the alliance is strong, and they are also honored!
Although, the emergence of martial artists, the rise of martial arts cultivation, and the real rise of Huaxia seem to be rumored to be related to the shape of the spaceship.
But no matter what, such a naΓ―ve question, and the almost well-known answer behind it, at this moment, constantly circling in Ma Fu's mind, his heart was shaking, these seemingly innocent rhetorical words and various other related thoughts echoed in his mind, and suddenly he had a little more understanding of the cultivation of martial arts.
"Hehe, the answers to the previous questions, you are also college students, and you have the answers in your hearts" At this time, Professor Tang didn't care about Ma Fu's reaction, just said without hurrying.
His figure is not high, but as a powerful martial artist in the viscera realm, his voice contains this very strong energy, Ma Fu They are just distracted, and the voice is also clear.
"That's right! The reason for this is energy! And placed on the home planet, that is, the energy activity above the mother star, the degree of energy activity, is the reason for the difference between the species throughout the ages! β
"Energy, for everyone today, must be no stranger! That's right, the energy here is what everyone is familiar with, the source of our martial artists' ability to continue to grow stronger, and it is the foundation of martial arts cultivation! Our martial arts cultivation is to absorb energy from our own human body, turn it into our own, strengthen ourselves, and become the source of our evolutionary strength and the cornerstone of our martial arts breakthrough,......"
"Hehe, you're welcome to say, this new understanding of the use of energy is the key to the rise of our alliance."
"In fact, it is very simple, nuclear bombs, laser cannons, magnetic energy weapons, etc., with the current vision of all students, in a nutshell, it can be said that human beings used energy by scientific and technological means in the past, and it is an indirect means for us human beings to use energy."
"But now martial arts, from another point of view, is to absorb energy from itself, strengthen itself, and use these energies!"
"Of course, there is no contradiction between these two understandings now, but, hehe, don't think that this is very simple," Professor Tang said meaningfully.
"That's right, the truth in this is simple, but, simple, doesn't mean you can really understand!"
"Huh! You are also about to graduate, and I also have a piece of advice for you here, if you can understand the truth, it will be of great benefit to your future martial arts cultivation! As he spoke, the corners of Professor Tang's mouth hung up, revealing an inexplicable smile.
In the back row, Ma Fu's heart moved, his eyes flashed, and he was a little thoughtful.
"That's it! I won't say much nonsense, what I'm going to talk about next is an experiment that Dean Qin Tian once had! Hehe, of course, you can also just listen to it as a story" Professor Tang restrained his smile, and didn't care, Ma Fu was familiar with this experiment or not, and went directly to the next topic.
ββ¦β¦ Thousands of years ago, martial arts was just emerging in China at that time, and its core was to cultivate oneself, to absorb one's own body by certain means, and then use the energy between heaven and earth, but at that time, most of the Western countries were disdainful of this, and in their concepts, the so-called cultivation, using energy for oneself, was just an illusory thing......
"Because of this cognition, martial arts at that time did not flourish on the home planet...... Professor Tang said with a little ridicule on his face, obviously, he was very disdainful of the perception of those Westerners in the past.
However, it is precisely because of this perception in the West that there is the current situation of the alliance, Huaxia has risen completely, and now, among the sixteen princes who represent the most powerful and noble, there are thirteen in Huaxia!
As soon as the thought turned, the disdain and ridicule on his face disappeared, and Professor Tang continued, "At this time, the Alliance Academy of Sciences, that is, the president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences at that time, the great explorer, Qin King Qin Tian and thousands of researchers conducted experiments on the two colonial stars of China at that time for nearly a hundred years. Some creatures will also give birth to some magical special abilities ...... beyond the cognition at the time, and the reason for this is the influence of the energy activity in the stars."
Dean Qin Tian's experiment at that time strongly supported some theories of energy cognition in the Chinese scientific community at that time, and also clearly explained from a certain perspective why the earth was as behemoth as dinosaurs in ancient times, and why after this period of time, most of those huge creatures became extinct. Because, in the age of dinosaurs, the entire earth's crust was active frequently, and there was plenty of energy on the home star, even if the creatures were not able to cultivate at that time and could not actively absorb those energies, but for a long time, under the infection of rich energy, those ancient creatures also passively absorbed a lot of energy, with sufficient energy support, and their size was only getting bigger and bigger......"
"Hehe, of course, this kind of theory and experiment of energy cognition has the most important effect, that is, it proves that the application of energy is not only used by human beings with scientific and technological external means, but also by human beings."
"And this application is martial arts cultivation!! Take your own human body as a container, take the initiative to swallow energy, strengthen yourself at the same time, use these energy as your own! β
"There is no doubt that this kind of knowledge of energy is great!"
"It was an extremely beneficial support for martial arts cultivation that was still in its infancy at that time!"
"Under this understanding, cultivation is truly displayed in the eyes of the world, and cultivation is not just what we imagine, but can really exist and be feasible."
"For example, thousands of years ago, the revival of the aura in the cultivation world was always mentioned in some novels, in fact, in our current opinion, such a phenomenon is also scientific, but we are not called aura now."
"Scientifically speaking, this phenomenon is now called energy revival! Boost your energy activity! This is also known as a change in the level of energy activity in a certain star! The level of activity of this energy is extremely closely related to the evolution of the creatures above the stars and the cultivation of our human beings."
"Above a star, the more active the energy, the easier it will be for us to cultivate, and the more likely it is to reach a higher martial arts realm!"
"Nowadays, when we were born, our physique was stronger than before, and we were able to cultivate on the home planet, and even become a powerful innate martial artist, because the alliance used a lot of extremely advanced technology to stimulate the core of the home planet, making it more active and releasing more energy......
"However, although this kind of technology is very effective, but, in fact, this is only a means to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and the energy consumed is still the energy of the home star's core, you know, energy is conserved, and the energy of the earth's core is not endless, appearing out of thin air."
