Chapter 37: The Magical Source Force
"Two in a month?" Li Yuan sighed inwardly.
"The Basic Source Force Pill costs 100,000 Blue Star Coins/Points per pill. If I take two, my monthly budget will increase significantly."
"You haven't taken a Basic Source Force Pill before," Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan.
"No," Li Yuan shook his head. His family couldn't afford such a valuable cultivation treasure.
Families like his aunt and uncle's, who could provide basic blood and energy elixirs for children long-term, were actually rare.
"The Basic Source Force Pill? Those who dare to buy and use it long-term are probably billionaires."
"Then let me tell you, the Basic Source Force Pill is essentially a substitute for advanced cultivation techniques," Xu Bo said. "Do you know the fundamental difference between basic and advanced cultivation techniques?"
"Efficiency of cultivation," Li Yuan replied.
"That's the result, not the reason," Xu Bo said. "Basic cultivation techniques efficiently absorb the energy generated from the food we eat, thereby promoting the progress of life."
Li Yuan nodded involuntarily.
The most essential difference between modern humans and ancient traditional martial arts lies in cultivation techniques.
This is the key to unlocking evolutionary progress in life.
"But basic cultivation techniques have limits," Xu Bo said. "No matter how strong our digestive systems are, can we eat a hundred pounds of food every day?"
"No," Li Yuan shook his head.
"Right, even with high-energy food, there are impurities, and the body can't handle too much," Xu Bo continued. "However, powerful warriors not only continue to promote physical evolution but also consume enormous amounts of energy just to maintain their physical condition."
"Like an electric car, the more powerful the motor, the more energy it consumes."
"Like me."
Boom!
Xu Bo took a step forward, and his whole body seemed to flicker like a phantom. The air instantly exploded, and the airflow surged into a wind.
Xu Bo had already stopped at the other end of the office.
"This?"
"This is a Level 19 warrior?" Li Yuan held his breath, looking at him with a hidden excitement in his heart.
He dared to affirm that just now, Teacher Xu's instantaneous eruption speed definitely exceeded 50 meters per second.
You should know that this is an instantaneous eruption from a stationary position, not even Xu Bo's fastest eruption speed.
This is what a truly powerful warrior looks like.
Xu Bo slowly walked back, saying as he walked, "Every day, to maintain a strong body like mine, if relying solely on eating, I would need to eat dozens of pounds of high-energy food at least."
"This is still in urban life. If fighting with creatures from the star realms, the consumption would be even greater. Two hundred pounds of high-energy food would not be enough."
Li Yuan was speechless.
He thought of elephants, giraffes, and other animals that spend most of their time eating every day.
If they exercise, their consumption would be even greater.
"Therefore, we have produced blood and energy elixirs," Xu Bo said. "These elixirs are essentially extracted from food, easier for the human body to absorb than high-energy food, with almost no impurities, but they are expensive."
"Taking them can reduce the demand for food."
Li Yuan nodded slightly.
Using blood and energy elixirs not only reduces the burden of eating but also doubles the efficiency of cultivation.
"But as you advance to becoming a Level 15 warrior and even stronger, even blood and energy elixirs are difficult to maintain."
"In recent decades, the Source Force Pill has appeared, which allows us to directly absorb source force."
"What is source force?"
"Since the six major star bridges changed hundreds of years ago, the most magical energy 'source force' has appeared in the cosmic starry sky," Xu Bo said with emotion. "Once we can absorb source force, the speed of evolution in our bodies will increase by ten or even a hundred times."
Li Yuan listened intently.
Source force, extremely magical.
Powerful warriors, in just a few decades, can fly and move through the earth and even walk safely out of the center of a nuclear explosion... all relying on absorbing source force and promoting bodily evolution.
With human bodies, they can match gods.
"If you want to absorb source force, there are three methods."
"The first is that your physical fitness must reach at least Level 19, and your skills must be advanced enough, combining body, mind, and intention to barely sense source force and achieve initial absorption," Xu Bo said solemnly. "This is the most primitive absorption method, with very low efficiency, but the first-generation warriors relied on this method to grow step by step."
"Later."
"As the number and strength of warriors increased, they finally deduced the first advanced cultivation technique, which increased the efficiency of absorbing source force by more than ten times," Xu Bo said. "Then they created the second and third techniques... and now, our human civilization has developed seven major advanced cultivation techniques."
"Moreover, if one can match the corresponding advanced cultivation technique, even ordinary people can achieve initial absorption of source force, greatly increasing their physical fitness efficiency," Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan with regret.
Li Yuan understood the teacher's meaning.
Awakening martial spirit is not as mysterious as the 'spirit root' in novels.
It is essentially the compatibility with the seven major advanced cultivation techniques.
If the compatibility exceeds 85%, it is an awakening.
Why does human civilization attach so much importance to martial spirit? Because if ordinary people practice advanced cultivation techniques, they can gradually absorb the source force from the universe to strengthen their bodies.
In this way, the efficiency of bodily evolution greatly increases, and the hope of becoming a Source Warrior will greatly increase.
This is why students in the elite class generally have strong physical fitness.
Secondly, source force exists everywhere in the cosmic starry sky.
Not only is its effect much stronger than that of blood and energy elixirs, but it is also inexhaustible, saving a lot of resources for the entire human civilization.
"Absorbing source force through advanced cultivation techniques is the second method, and it is the best method," Xu Bo shook his head. "But you can't do it now... Li Yuan, if you want to absorb the source force from the universe through yourself, you can only use the most primitive absorption method."
"Then, you must improve your physical fitness to Level 19."
Li Yuan nodded slightly.
To improve physical fitness to Level 19 without absorbing source force, you can imagine how difficult it is.
It must rely on a large amount of external resources.
"Of course, if you really become a very powerful Source Warrior in the future, maybe you can create an advanced cultivation technique that suits you."
"Or even create an advanced cultivation technique suitable for many ordinary people," Xu Bo sighed. "Then you will be a great hero for the human civilization."
"The world's strongest 'Dōngfāng Jí' once said that everyone is unique and should have a suitable advanced cultivation technique."
"If our human civilization can create a hundred advanced techniques, then everyone from a young age will find a suitable advanced cultivation technique, and there will be no talk of martial spirit."
"By then, the speed of producing warriors in human civilization will be more than ten times faster than it is now," Xu Bo quoted Dōngfāng Jí. "And this requires generations of warriors to strive for."
"A hundred advanced cultivation techniques?" Li Yuan sighed inwardly.
Since the era of human life evolution began nearly two hundred years ago, a total of only seven universal advanced cultivation techniques have been born.
However, compared to more than eighty years ago when there were only three advanced cultivation techniques.
In this era, the speed at which warriors are born in human civilization has increased several times.
This is a virtuous cycle.
It makes human civilization continue to grow stronger.
"The third method of absorbing source force is the Source Force Pill, which has emerged in the last twenty or thirty years," Xu Bo said. "The pill contains a trace of source force. Once taken, it can be absorbed."
"However, source force is domineering."
"Without advanced cultivation techniques to assist in resolving it, absorption will be very difficult," Xu Bo said. "So, for ordinary people, one pill a month is enough."
"Your physical talent is actually among the top tier, it's just that you haven't found a suitable advanced cultivation technique," Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan with some regret. "With your strong mental power, maybe you could take two pills a month."
"Thank you for your guidance, Teacher Xu," Li Yuan nodded, then smiled calmly. "There's no suitable advanced cultivation technique for me."
"Then in the future, I'll strive to create one."
"Haha," Xu Bo laughed at his words. "Ambitious. I'll be waiting, Teacher."
...
"This 'Starry Spear Technique' and 'Dragon Movement Body Technique,' which are in the same line as the 'Rock Cultivation Technique,' I suggest you switch," Xu Bo continued. "These two major manuals are highly renowned among warriors for directly targeting the Fifth Stage of Skills."
"Directly targeting the Fifth Stage of Skills?" Li Yuan pondered.
His skills were only at the Third Stage.
"Teacher, can't you teach me a Second Stage manual?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.
"Me?" Xu Bo was momentarily stunned, then smiled and said, "I have indeed practiced many Second Stage manuals, such as spear techniques, sword techniques, and body techniques."
"But I can't teach you," Xu Bo shook his head. "Haven't you noticed that I've never taught you Second Stage manuals before?"
"Why?" Li Yuan was puzzled.
"I only have the right to learn, not the right to pass on," Xu Bo said. "Like the boxing, spear, and body techniques you are learning now, they are all First Stage manuals suitable for students at the First and Second Stages of Skills."
"A large number of First Stage manuals and cultivation techniques are fully open and free to all citizens."
"However, from the Second Stage manuals onwards, they are copyrighted," Xu Bo said. "You must purchase them before you can use them."
