Gu Jianbo regretted bringing Meng Chao and Ma Hong with him.
He originally wanted to make the boy know how difficult it was and retreat.
He did not expect that his observational skills would be so sharp.
Was the boy really a freshman? Why did it feel like he had been fighting at the edge of life and death for decades, just as Ma Hong said?
"Alright, I admit that I sometimes come here to train."
Gu Jianbo's expression changed a few times before he slowly sat down on the electric chair. "But my training won't yield any results."
Meng Chao and Ma Hong looked at each other. "Since there won't be any results, why do you still train?"
"Because … I've let down Zong Ye, Xu Fang, Zhou Tianrui, and Li Feiy. They've given up their futures and even their lives for Project 1024. If I give up halfway and run away, how am I supposed to face them in the future?"
Gu Jianbo smiled wanly. "Project 1024 is no longer a formal cultivation project supported by the university. It's my personal matter, and it's a battle I must face alone. But I alone am enough to face this sort of thing. There's no need for me to drag more people into it, especially outstanding talents like you."
Meng Chao still shook his head. "As long as I'm still fighting, I have a chance of winning. How can I be considered a moth flying into a flame? Brother Bo, let me give you a hand! "
Gu Jianbo was in a bad mood to begin with. He had been trying his best to persuade the boy for a long time, but the boy still refused to listen to him, so he became irritated.
"Alright, since you want to join Project 1024 so much, I'll let you see just what branch meridian cultivation is all about!"
He abandoned himself to despair and brought out a large pile of experimental data and manuscripts from the depths of the safe along with a large number of disks and memory chips. He slammed them on the desk.
He turned on three large workstations, and a stream of data that looked like a waterfall appeared on the screens.
They were the newest experimental data and project progress over the past few years.
Meng Chao quickly read through them.
His brain had been strengthened by Kindling, and it greedily absorbed the original Ultimate Style and the brilliant ideals.
It also gradually overlapped with the memories of his previous life regarding the future Ultimate Style.
"Brother Bo, it's not as simple as' sometimes coming here to train '. Judging from the experiment logs, you've been here almost every day!"
Meng Chao cried out in surprise. "What's with this rapid cell growth hormone? That's right. These drugs are really good for healing wounds, but the side effect is that your endocrine system will go haywire, and you'll lose control of your body. You'll become obese or weak.
"Wait, could it be —"
Could it be that the handsome man with dashing eyebrows and starry eyes on the official website had become the greasy fatty in front of them because he had paid the price of exploring the cutting-edge martial arts alone?
Gu Jianbo kept a straight face. Without saying a word, he took off his suit and unbuttoned it.
Under the suit and leather shoes, within the fat that looked like tires, there was actually a body of abnormally swollen muscles that were as strong as those of a giant god.
However, every inch of his skin was covered with dark red scars.
The wounds burst open from the inside out, just like a shocking red flower.
"This is …"
Meng Chao and Ma Hong's expression changed at the same time.
In this era, medical technology was very advanced. Unless poison invaded the body or tore the same wound repeatedly, causing tissue proliferation and overlapping, it would be impossible for such terrifying scars to be left behind.
The layers of scars were like burning medals that had been branded on Gu Jianbo's flesh, but they also seemed to be a suit of armor that had been forged by his spirit and will in excruciating pain.
A thought appeared in Meng Chao's head, and he cried out, "Big Brother Bo, more than ten years ago, you were already as famous as Ms. Li, and today, she's about to reach six-star, but you're still stuck at four-star. Could it be that you destroyed your body because of your crazy experiments?"
Gu Jianbo's eyelids twitched, but he said nothing.
Meng Chao looked at the medals covered in scars, and his blood boiled. All sorts of emotions rose in his heart.
In his previous life, he never knew that there were so many pioneers who paid such a devastating price for the Ultimate Style's birth, which seemed so natural and elegant.
But in this life …
'I will change everything. I won't let the blood of the martyrs flow in vain. I will also save the heroes who are about to die and send them to the peak of glory!'
Meng Chao swore in his heart.
He sat down in a corner and quietly studied all the information about Project 1024.
"There's nothing for you to study. Once you see how I cultivate, you'll know how difficult it is and give up," Gu Jianbo said coldly.
He turned on the ventilation system and brought out more than ten medicinal materials from the refrigerated cabinet to start cultivating.
He first concocted a steaming hot secret medicine and swallowed it in large gulps.
His blood vessels immediately popped up rapidly. There were also bulging sarcomas that rolled around under his skin.
"Whoosh …"
With a savage expression, he exhaled a mouthful of white smoke that looked like a sharp arrow. Then, he stuck a large number of magnetic patches with wires to his body.
Then, he sat on the "electric chair" and used a leather belt made of superbeast tendons to tie himself up tightly.
He was very familiar with the entire set of actions, as if he had done it countless times before.
"20th of August, Year 55 of the New Era. 992nd experiment for Project 1024. Today, I took Gene Medicine No. 104, which is made from Ghost Shark blood and Golden-winged Insect juice. I'm trying to clear the fifteen branch meridians at the front of my right arm. Right now, the pain is at Level Four. My mental strength index is at 103%. My mind is clear, and I can endure it."
He pressed the button on the camera. "The experiment will now begin."
Zzzt!
Powerful bioelectricity surged into his body through the magnetic patches and activated the rampaging spirit energy contained in the medicine.
In an instant, Gu Jianbo jumped up like a frog that had jumped into a pot of boiling oil, but he was dragged back by the leather belt.
His eyes were wide open, and his expression was savage.
His right arm swelled up in a deformed manner and turned red. More than one hundred drops of blood seeped out of his pores.
Meng Chao and Ma Hong were shocked. They wanted to go forward to help, but Meng Chao used his eyes to tell them that it was fine. This was just a normal procedure.
The torturous experiment lasted for a total of five minutes. Gu Jianbo, who was drenched in sweat, turned off the switch with trembling hands. He lay limp on the "electric chair". White smoke came out of his eyes, nose, mouth, and mouth, and he could not say a single word.
"Big Brother Bo, did you succeed?" Meng Chao asked nervously. "Did you clear all fifteen branch meridians?"
After a long while, Gu Jianbo raised his right arm with great difficulty and circulated his spirit energy.
Circles of spirit runes appeared on his right arm near his wrist.
However, compared to the clear and dazzling spirit tattoos that had cleared the main meridians, these spirit tattoos were fragmented and indistinct. They looked like ink that had dripped on rice paper.
"I managed to clear two branch meridians, but the other three are shattered."
Gu Jianbo observed his wrist carefully and tried to circulate his spirit energy to his fingertips to release a wisp of spirit flames.
But the spirit flames jumped about and changed into eight different colors. It was as if they had been mixed with a low-quality accelerant, and they could not be controlled. Soon, they exploded and disappeared.
Meng Chao and Ma Hong could not help but sigh.
Gu Jianbo, on the other hand, had a calm expression on his face. He untied himself from the electric chair and quickly typed a string of data into the computer. He then placed his right arm under a small device to scan, as if he was used to such failures.
"Don't worry. Branch meridians might be weak, but they recover very quickly. Even if they're shattered, they can easily heal and regrow," Gu Jianbo said faintly.
"On the other hand, branch meridians that are barely cleared will shrink very quickly if they're not stimulated often, and you'll have to start from the beginning again."
Over the next two hours, he performed eight experimental cultivation exercises on various parts of his body.
Every time, he was in so much pain that his entire body twitched and he sweated profusely. Smoke came out of his pores.
When he unbuckled his belt, he was so weak that he had to hold onto the chair to walk.
But when Meng Chao and Ma Hong wanted to go forward to help, he waved his hand resolutely. He would rather move to the lab table to record data and adjust the parameters.
"You saw it, right? I don't have any talent, so I can only use this stupid method to test different medicine formulas, electric current strength, and the locations of spirit apertures. There's really nothing I can teach you."
Gu Jianbo looked impatient. "I'm a four-star superhuman. My heart is firm, and my body is strong. That's why I can endure such stupid cultivation. You're just a new superhuman who hasn't even grown your hair yet. You can't even handle half a cultivation session, and you want to help me? You're just like a toad yawning. How arrogant!
"Are you done? If you are, get lost! I'm annoyed when I see a brat like you who doesn't know his place!"
Meng Chao ignored him and focused. With a gaze that could burn through paper, he quickly skimmed through the experiment logs.
Now, just like the Bloody Moon Slaughterer, the Fight for the Ultimate Style was no longer a simple mission.
It was no longer a matter of tens of thousands of contribution points or clearing a few main meridians.
Instead, it was a real battle!
'What's the problem? Logically speaking, my train of thought should be correct. I should use bioelectricity to stimulate the intersecting spirit apertures in the branch meridians. That's how I did it in my previous life.'
Meng Chao grabbed his hair and thought hard.
His professionalism could not compare to Zong Ye and Gu Jianbo.
He could only rack his brains and dig through the crystalline fragments in the depths of his brain to find the difference between the mature Ultimate Style from his previous life and the current cultivation method.
He did not know how much time had passed, but he managed to touch a faint ray of light.
'Medium …'
At that moment, Meng Chao's face was stark pale, and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked like he had wandered too far into an unknown world, and his soul had fused into the experiment logs.
Gu Jianbo's eyes flew open. "What did you say?"
"Big Brother Bo, have you ever thought that you shouldn't use bioelectricity to stimulate the spirit apertures directly?"
Meng Chao's expression was dazed. He was still trying to capture the butterflies of memories dancing in the depths of his brain. 'You can use this method to cultivate main meridians, because they are sturdy and have a lot of runoff. They can withstand the dual stimulation of super strong electricity and rampaging spirit energy.
'But branch meridians are thin and fragile. No matter how much you reduce the intensity of the stimulation, it's still easy for them to be destroyed.
'Then, can you use a medium to disperse the stimulation as much as possible?
'I know that many of the medical cabins have the ability to recover from electrical stimulation. First, high-calorie medicine is injected into the medical cabin. Then, the patient lies in it, and the entire body is submerged. Finally, electricity is applied to the medicinal liquid instead of directly through the acupressure points.
'With this method, you can reduce the intensity of the stimulation and use it on the entire body. You can clear all 1,024 branch meridians in one go!'
