Shi Xiaoling returned to his room, pushed the door, and saw Cai Haohua, the chief instructor of the training base, sitting upright in the room waiting for him.

Shi Xiaoling was stunned and asked, "Mr. Cai, why are you here, is there something wrong?"

Cai Haohua looked Shi Xiaoling up and down and asked, "Are you really not injured?"

"Hurt? Didn't Cai always watch the duel between me and Instructor Zhou just now?" Shi Xiaoling asked.

"Didn't you just receive a heavy blow from Zhou Jie's 'star picker'? Could it be that his subordinates showed mercy? Or did you hide your strength before?" Cai Haohua asked suspiciously.

Shi Xiaoling couldn't imagine that even Cai Haohua, the chief instructor of the base, would pay so much attention to his ancient martial arts exam, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

He thought for a while and said: "Mr. Cai, I won't tell you, although I won Instructor Zhou just now, in fact, my real strength is still slightly worse than Instructor Zhou, and the reason why I can win is still a bit of a fluke." ”

"Oh, what do you mean by that, as far as I know, the power of the 'Star Picker' is not trivial, how did you crack this trick?"

Shi Xiaoling smiled bitterly: "I can't crack it, I just relied on my own original method to carry it down." If Instructor Zhou attacks my throat, I'm afraid that I will be crippled if I don't die now. ”

The more Cai Haohua listened, the more confused he became, since Shi Xiaoling thought that his strength was slightly inferior to Zhou Jie, and said that there was no way to crack the "star picker", then why was he unscathed just now?

Seeing that Cai Haohua had to figure it out, Shi Xiaoling said helplessly: "That's the case, in order to deal with the outbreak crisis of the tenth level X ultimate virus, I have researched several ways to resolve the sharp outbreak of the true yuan, and I have been practicing day and night recently. ”

"I have collected and studied the killer move 'Star Picker' used by Instructor Zhou for a long time, although the martial art of Zhilu Dao is very powerful, the range of the attack is not the throat or the chest, and most people will choose to attack the chest, so the grasp will be greater. So I'm betting that Instructor Zhou will attack me in the chest. ”

"So what?" Cai Haohua still didn't understand.

"I actually deliberately relaxed the protection of my chest a little when I was defending, and Instructor Zhou really seized the opportunity to use the 'Star Picking Hand' on the Jizhong acupoint on my chest. At the moment when he made a move, I used the ** set I created to deal with the ultimate virus outbreak, and my true yuan was originally all stored in the Jizhong acupoint, which is the strongest part of my body, so I finally carried this trick 'star picker'. ”

Cai Haohua felt incredulous and said: "I can still believe that you have the ingenuity to use the Jizhong acupoint as a dantian, but you said that you created a few ** to fight the outbreak of the ultimate virus?

Shi Xiaoling said: "That's because Doctor Tang copied to me the detailed autopsy data of the last winners who died in the virus outbreak, and I have studied the possible route of Zhenyuan during the virus outbreak for a long time, plus my research on ancient martial arts for so many years, so I thought of these ways." Unexpectedly, today's showdown came in handy first. ”

"Zhou Jie's star picker is very domineering, but what I practice every day is how to resolve the energy burst that attacks my own Jizhong acupoint after the ultimate virus outbreak, and the true yuan contained in his blow all hits my Jizhong acupoint, and the powerful energy that attacks my body is like the scene of the virus outbreak, and this is what I practice hard every day. ”

"No matter how powerful the Star Picking Hand is, it is far from the onset of energy during the outbreak of the ultimate virus, plus the Jizhong Acupoint is equivalent to my dantian, which is the place where I need to use it every moment for my cultivation and collection and distribution of true yuan, so although I was hit by the 'Star Picking Hand', I was just a little tight-chested and breathless at that time. I lay on the ground for a while, and when I came back in one breath, I was fine. ”

Cai Haohua was dumbfounded when he heard this, Shi Xiaoling only relied on some information given to him by Tang Zhishu and his own years of ancient martial arts research, and actually came up with a way to deal with the ultimate virus outbreak, this, this is also too incredible!

But the facts are in front of him, if this is not the case, how can he explain that he was able to block Zhou Jie's "star picker" sharp blow and be unscathed?

Shi Xiaoling saw Cai Haohua's mouth open wide, the expression on his face was very strange, and he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart.

In Shi Xiaoling's heart, Cai Haohua is the chief instructor of the training base, and whether he can successfully advance to the bottom ten list and even become the final winner, Cai Haohua's opinion must be very important.

He and Tang Zhishu privately teamed up to develop these sets of methods to deal with the ultimate virus, and whether they were effective or not, but they were somewhat irregular, and I don't know if Cai Haohua would blame Tang Zhishu for this.

Seeing that Cai Haohua didn't speak for a long time, Shi Xiaoling said: "Mr. Cai, Dr. Tang also agreed to help me after my repeated requests, I know that we may be a little unruly in doing this, if you want to blame me, blame me." Dr. Tang just wants to help me fulfill my dream of ancient martial arts, and I can't blame her. ”

Cai Haohua was a little stunned, understanding that Shi Xiaoling would be wrong, and sighed: "Shi Xiaoling, I don't want to blame you, let alone Tang Zhishu, I just think you are really ...... It's kind of ridiculous. Isn't it? How do you know that the sets of ** you have drawn up to prevent the ultimate virus outbreak will be useful? If you die at the hands of Zhou Jie today, wouldn't it be wronged?"

Shi Xiaoling said: "I'm just fighting." The situation was so urgent that I couldn't think much about it. Unless I take the initiative to admit defeat, Instructor Zhou will not stop, but I have made up my mind to enter the top ten, so I ......"

"What if you made it to the top ten? Do you think you will definitely be able to become the winner of the last class? Do you know that in the past eight years, six winners whose physical fitness and martial arts are far better than yours have all died in the outbreak of the ultimate virus, and the two lucky ones who successfully boarded the time shuttle are just ignorant of ancient martial arts?"

Cai Haohua asked angrily.

Shi Xiaoling was very surprised, and hurriedly asked, "I don't know anything about ancient martial arts? Then how can they protect themselves when they arrive in the Bright Moon Continent two thousand years ago? Doesn't it mean that the Moon Continent is extremely martial arts, and almost everyone knows martial arts?"

Cai Haohua said angrily: "Not everyone has to rely on fighting and killing to survive, otherwise what do you need wisdom to do? What do you want emotional intelligence to do?"

"Besides, do you think that if you are vaccinated with the tenth-level X Ultimate Virus, you will be invincible in the world? Tell you, as far as we know, there were many super masters on the Bright Moon Continent in ancient times, and the strength of some masters was as terrifying as the mythical immortals, even if you were lucky enough to be vaccinated with the Ultimate Virus and didn't die, but if you met that kind of top master, it is estimated that you will be vulnerable!"

Shi Xiaoling was speechless, according to the ancient martial arts materials he had collected over the years, he also knew that there were indeed many mythical-level superlative masters in the Bright Moon Continent two thousand years ago. Although the world was chaotic at that time, it was also the most prosperous era for the martial arts of all factions, and it was precisely because of this that Shi Xiaoling yearned for the Mingyue Continent so much.

Cai Haohua continued: "Today is just your luck, you mistakenly knocked down Zhou Jie's 'star picker', do you really think that the sets of ** you have researched can deal with the outbreak of the ultimate virus?"

Shi Xiaoling shook his head and said, "I just tried my best, but I really wasn't sure. ”

Cai Haohua sighed and said, "Shi Xiaoling, you are indeed very talented in ancient martial arts, and your ability to win Zhou Jie in this way is enough to show your talent." It's just that in the past eight years, all those who are interested in ancient martial arts have died, but two people who don't know martial arts have survived the outbreak of the virus and successfully traveled through time and space. ”

"Although we can't know what the current situation of these two people is, our current material selection plan has changed......"

Shi Xiaoling was very curious about this topic, and asked: "Mr. Cai, listen to what you mean, it seems that the current selection of materials no longer attaches so much importance to the students' attainments in ancient martial arts?"

Cai Haohua nodded and said: "Yes, you should be able to feel from the usual course arrangement that we don't pay much attention to the students' ancient martial arts attainments now, but pay more attention to their wisdom and emotional intelligence and adaptability to the virus, otherwise Zhou Jie would have been selected a few years ago." ”

Shi Xiaoling was a little worried, his quality in all aspects was mediocre, but he was still outstanding in ancient martial arts, if the selection criteria were like that, his chances were very slim.

Cai Haohua saw Shi Xiaoling's thoughts and said: "You don't have to be discouraged, I'm not afraid to tell you frankly, your comprehensive quality and grades are mediocre, and the reason why you haven't been eliminated until now is just because I think your temperament is very similar to a person." ”

"Like a person? Cai always doesn't mean 'Changsheng No. 1'?" Shi Xiaoling asked.

"It turns out that you already know the way, Tang Zhishu told you. Yes, although 'Changsheng No. 1' is a genius among geniuses, and his qualities are outstanding in all aspects, he is also most obsessed with ancient martial arts, I think your enthusiasm for ancient martial arts is quite similar to his, and it turns out that you do have some talent. ”

Shi Xiaoling was overjoyed and said: "I heard Doctor Tang mention that in the past 20 years, Changsheng No. 1 has been the most outstanding of all the trainees, and even the Changsheng No. 2 in the same period is not comparable to these later winners, they have all successfully passed the test of the virus and successfully traveled through time and space. I just don't know what happened to them?"

Cai Haohua shook his head and sighed: "After so many years, there has been no news of the two of them as soon as they go, and I don't know if the road is evil or auspicious." It stands to reason that both of them are extremely rare talents, and with their intelligence and martial arts, coupled with the help of the ultimate virus, it should not be a problem to gain a foothold in the Bright Moon Continent. But strangely enough, there is no news at all. ”

Shi Xiaoling didn't know much about traveling through time and space, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "If the 'Immortal One' and they successfully completed the mission, how can they come back?"

Cai Haohua said: "Every year, we will send an unmanned time shuttle to meet them at a designated time and place, but there has been no news for ten years, and among the four people who have been sent to Lu, only Changsheng No. 3 occasionally sends back a few useless messages, basically there is no actual progress at all, and I don't know what is going on in the road." ”

Shi Xiaoling was puzzled: "The instructor who taught us said that there is a sequence of times when the people or machines we sent over really fell on the Bright Moon Continent two thousand years ago, and this time difference may be relatively large. ”

Cai Haohua said: "Yes, this is also a big problem in time travel. It is said that it has traveled to 2,000 years ago, but it is not always so accurate, and it is possible that 'Changsheng 1' has traveled to 2,100 years ago, and Changsheng 2 and 3 have traveled to 2,200 years ago, or more than 1,900 years ago, this is possible. So we have to keep sending people over there to see what's going on over there. ”

Shi Xiaoling was surprised: "Doesn't that mean that Changsheng No. 1 and No. 2, No. 3 or No. 4 sent behind may not live in the same era, even if they meet, there may be someone who has become an old man, or even someone who has died of old age?"

Cai Haohua nodded helplessly and said: "That's true, due to the limitations of our scientific and technological level, the specific age of their landing may indeed be many years different from the estimate, maybe they are dead now." There is no way to do this, traveling through time and space is a very dangerous thing, no matter who it is, you must be prepared to never go back. ”

Shi Xiaoling was silent, secretly thinking that it was good that he didn't confess to Tang Zhishu, if he couldn't come back, wouldn't it make Tang Zhishu worry for a long time.

Cai Haohua said: "However, our space-time launches have become more and more accurate in recent years, and as long as we can complete the task, the possibility of coming back is getting bigger and bigger year by year." ”

Shi Xiaoling asked, "Mr. Cai, what is the secret of longevity that the people who sent Lu are looking for? I have studied a lot of ancient martial arts materials in the ancient Bright Moon Continent, but I don't see any secret of longevity?"

Cai Haohua was stunned for a moment and said: "You don't need to know this for the time being, if you stand out at the end, I will naturally tell you when the time comes." Forget it, you have a good rest, I'm leaving. A lot of our conversation today is classified, and you'd better not ramble around. ”

Shi Xiaoling smiled bitterly: "In this base, who can I tell to? Besides, even if I am eliminated, I will definitely be washed of my memory before leaving, right?"

Cai Haohua was a little embarrassed, got up and patted Shi Xiaoling's shoulder, and pushed the door out.
