As a Multiplication Ability of [play], the "Black Rock Guiding Technique" didn't disappoint.
Under Ma Ran's guidance, Wan Haihao quickly succeeded in refining his first strand of Inner Qi!
In the first acupoint opened up, the Inner Qi slowly increased and soon filled up more than half.
Wan Haihao felt a warm current emanate from his chest, quickly spreading to his limbs and entire body.
The fingers that had been frozen stiff by the cold wind also felt a tingling sensation, his whole body was warm, as if soaking in a hot spring, extremely comfortable.
Clear Spirit, calming Essence!
Exuberant Spirit!
Wan Haihao felt strong and energetic, and the fatigue that should have come after staying up all night completely disappeared!
But that's not all…
The most crucial gains were not these clearly perceivable changes.
Two gains!
First, Wan Haihao truly understood the process of Inner Qi transformation!
From now on, even without external help, he could independently cultivate Inner Qi.
Second, when the acupoints were filled with Inner Qi, they could further develop into mature micro-organs and function automatically!
This is also the significance of the "Black Rock Guiding Technique"!
"Senior, congratulations!"
Dong Huaiming's voice sounded behind Ma Ran: "The 'Black Rock Guiding Technique'..."
It seems he had been in the cafeteria for a while, witnessing the entire process of Wan Haihao being guided to refine his first strand of Inner Qi.
"Although I guessed long ago that with Brother Ran's talent and intelligence, he would sooner or later embark on the path of creating his own cultivation technique, I didn't expect it to start so early!"
Xiao Ming's eyes curved into crescent moons with a smile, and he spoke with joy: "At this moment, I can play the narrator."
After speaking, he cleared his throat, put on a serious expression, and deliberately lowered his voice, making his tone somewhat hoarse, with a touch of a middle-aged storyteller's charm: "This year, the prodigy Ma Ran burst onto the scene."
"With a 'Black Rock Guiding Technique', he improved the Inner Qi Martial Arts System and announced his presence to the world."
"Thus, the wheels of history began to turn slowly..."
Jealous?
Nervousness?
Not at all!
Dong Huaiming is this kind of person.
Not to mention Wan Haihao and Ma Ran are his good friends, setting that aside, deep down he hopes someone would blaze a trail on the extraordinary path, opening up a bright road!
He doesn't worry about being left behind, or being surpassed, but rather...
There's no road ahead to follow.
Dong Huaiming's greatest fear is that even after reaching the Ninth Rank of Black Rock Stele Martial Arts System, it would just be for physical strengthening, easily knocked down with a single blow.
"Hehe... can't help it!"
"Really sorry!"
"Brother Ran, continue!"
"I'll be right here watching, making sure no one disturbs you!"
After saying this, Xiao Ming obediently stood beside Ma Ran.
With his right thumb and forefinger together, he placed them by his mouth, drawing a zipper-closure gesture from left to right.
Ma Ran glanced back at him, saying nothing.
"Ma... Brother Ran, can I be the second one?"
The volunteer after Wan Haihao was a sophomore student.
Her last name was Wang, she was a girl with a delicate appearance, slender figure, and fair skin.
Her looks were not as striking as Su Qiangwei's but were very pleasant to the eye.
Moreover, when she spoke, it gave off a sense of normalcy, unlike Su Qiangwei, who could make people so angry they might spit blood.
This senior was a few years older than Ma Ran, but she was also influenced by Dong Huaiming, and started calling comfortably: "Brother Ran, do you need a break?"
Putting oneself in their shoes!
Refining even one strand of Inner Qi is as hard as reaching the sky, not to mention helping others refine Inner Qi!
Ma Ran now...
Must be very tired, right?
"No need, just start directly."
Ma Ran curled his lips in a smile.
Senior Wang obediently nodded, followed directions, and sat honestly in front of Ma Ran.
It didn't take long.
"I felt it!"
Ma Ran withdrew his hands, and Senior Wang opened her eyes, bouncing up in excitement: "So this is Inner Qi?"
"Its refining method... I can understand it now!"
"Thank you!"
"Thanks to Brother Ran's help!"
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known how long I would be stuck on this, it's really too much..."
"You're welcome."
Ma Ran's cold, simple words effectively interrupted the senior's speech, and successfully killed the topic: "Next."
People are social creatures, even though some members worried about potential risks in Ma Ran's nascent "Black Rock Guiding Technique," they did not voice them.
Everyone has some level of emotional intelligence.
Among the members present, in the past at school, in the lab, more or less exhibited the traits of being "unapproachable" and "not tactfully handling situations."
This isn't because they have low emotional intelligence.
What needs to be understood, everyone understands.
Their unapproachable demeanor just saves time where unnecessary.
By relying on their own ability and intellect to earn respect and become irreplaceable, why should they watch others' faces?
Observing people's expressions every day, how tiring that is.
Now the situation is completely different from before!
Within the Grass Hut Academy, there is only one person entitled to the "low emotional intelligence" privilege, and that person is Ma Ran!
No one had complaints.
Everyone had fantasized a little.
If they could be like Ma Ran, calculating five hundred and twelve acupoint positions within an hour, and in verifying along the way, filling four acupoints and reaching the Second Rank of Inner Qi...
And then taking only two or three days to create a technique like "Black Rock Guiding Technique," casually cultivating to the Third Rank of Inner Qi...
At this moment, they would probably be on cloud nine, shoulder to shoulder with the sun!
"Continue."
Xiao Ming ran back and forth, serving as a discipline assistant: "Next one!"
"Hey, queue up properly! Don't crowd too close!"
"Huh? Time's up? Brother Ran, you continue here, I'll report to the president."
Five minutes later, Dong Huaiming came jogging back, panting.
Perhaps the weather was too cold, as soon as he opened his mouth, hot breath came out: "President Huang actually received the news a while ago."
While speaking, Xiao Ming pointed to the cafeteria's cameras: "Fulan, Qinglian, Ying River, those academic societies are broadcasting live!"
"President Huang said he's planning to adjust the schedule urgently and let us continue here."
"Also, he asked me to pass a message to Brother Ran."
Dong Huaiming caught his breath, touched his non-existent chin stubble, and theatrically imitated Huang Weiguo's tone: "Ma Ran, you must take care of your health and don't overdo it!"
"Haste makes waste!"
"Everything needs to be done step by step, take it slow!"
"I know, you are a self-disciplined, self-motivated, diligent, perseverant, hardworking good young man."
"However..."
"Remember!"
"You are now the most important talent, the most valuable treasure of our Grass Hut Academy!"
"Don't push yourself too hard!"
"Balance work and rest, it's very important!"
After the imitation, Xiao Ming pouted.
Looking at his appearance, it seemed he was a bit dismissive of Comrade Huang, feeling that the president was too long-winded.
After hearing these words, Ma Ran seriously nodded: "Thank you."
"I understand President Huang's point."
"Rest assured, I won't overdo it."
Over the past three days, members of the Grass Hut Academy had on average calculated the positions of at least three acupoints.
Many female members, after brief hesitation, chose acupoints that were less awkwardly positioned, sincerely requesting Ma Ran for "Transmission of Skills."
Ma Ran also welcomed each request, guiding one by one, helping everyone cultivate their first strand of Inner Qi.
As of 12:13 PM.
All members of the Grass Hut Academy successfully refined their first strand of Inner Qi!
