Meng Chao did not intend to keep it a secret.
Every day, he worked as an assistant in the resource course. Aside from doing high-intensity work like a harvester, when he was free, he answered the freshmen's questions and sparred with them about harvesting.
Since he was also a student, his perspective was different from the lecturers. Sometimes, his answers were more suited to the freshmen's needs. As time went by, his relationship with the students from the resource course became better than that of the students from the martial arts course.
He also harvested a lot of contribution points from the lecturers from the resource course, which he used to exchange for Initial Stage Healing Skills to explore the Ultimate Style.
Of course, it was not as if the students were not puzzled.
"Ace Student Chao, your harvesting skills are so good, so why did you end up in the martial arts course? Why don't you switch to the resource course?
"That's right, we're the ace of Agricultural University. Regardless of whether it's the martial arts course or the monster controller course, there are plenty of times when we need to rely on the resource course!"
The students were not the only ones who said that. A few of the lecturers also extended invitations to him. As long as he agreed, they could take care of him switching courses.
Meng Chao appreciated their good will.
But he was very satisfied with his current situation.
He experimented, cultivated, harvested, went to the library, wolfed down his food in the canteen, used his contribution points to exchange for healing skills, activated new skills, and increased his Skillfulness. He worked day and night, seizing every second. Forget about going home, he rarely even called home.
Even though it was hard, he enjoyed it. He felt as if he had turned into a rocket with dazzling flames gushing out of his butt. He improved by leaps and bounds every day, every hour, every minute, and every second. The feeling of exploring an unknown world was incredibly enjoyable.
Besides, he also got to know a group of friends.
Even though he did not interact much with the students from the martial arts course, over the past few days, when he mingled with the students from the refresher course in society, he found that they were all really interesting people.
Perhaps it was because he had been beaten up by society for decades in his previous life, so he could not be considered as a true freshman. He was more like an old fox who had been reborn, and he was similar to the students from society.
There were military scouts like Ma Hong among the students from society. He had escaped from the mouths of monsters and even turned the tables to awaken to supernatural abilities while he was at it.
There were also people who worked for Iron Tower Corporation. Their mission was to build signal towers in the depths of the fog. They often had to climb more than one hundred meters in the air with their bare hands and work for a few hours while the fog tumbled about and monsters howled. Because of it, they developed an indestructible will.
There were also miners who often had to work in an extremely harsh environment with strong radiation. Every team worked for more than ten minutes before they had to quickly withdraw. Otherwise, they would suffer from all kinds of radiation diseases.
Around the mines, powerful underground creatures were often present.
Hence, aside from digging crystals, miners also used pickaxes and battering rams to blast the monsters' heads.
They fought day and night, and some people died quietly. There were also people who awakened to supernatural abilities, which was why they could come to the university to study.
They were all broken-star superhumans, and they usually had to pay a huge price to become stronger. Aside from their main meridians shrinking, many of them also had terrifying wounds on their bodies.
But when they talked about the past, their wounds, and the sacrifices of their comrades, they were relaxed. They even giggled, as if they had lost their heads and were left with scars.
Compared to the rich children who enjoyed a lot of resources since they were young and reached a breakthrough step by step, Meng Chao preferred to stay with these people. From their spirited descriptions, he could see and remember an even vaster and more exciting world.
"The Ultimate Style was prepared for us," Meng Chao told the students from society seriously.
"As long as their minds and willpower are strong enough, anyone can reach the limits of their lives. Soon, the days when broken-star superhumans don't have enough stamina, their upper limits aren't high, and they're far inferior to normal superhumans will be gone forever!"
The students from society agreed with Meng Chao.
Under Ma Hong's lead, they volunteered to help Meng Chao and Gu Jianbo.
In Ma Hong's words, aside from having an ambiguous relationship with some female entrepreneurs, Big Brother Bo was actually a pretty good person.
Many of their friends studied in the refresher courses of other universities just to get a diploma. The lecturers did not teach them with all their heart, and the students usually did not have the heart to learn.
But here, not only did Big Brother Bo teach them everything he knew, he even helped them fight for resources. In fact, he even gambled on his own reputation and played tricks like betting on the monster controller course.
"We've never treated Big Brother Bo as a teacher, but as a good friend. Since we know that Big Brother Bo and Zong Ye have done so much for the Ultimate Style, and this brand new cultivation method can help broken-star superhumans break through their bottlenecks and ceilings, we can't just watch the two of you risk your lives," Ma Hong said with a smile.
Meng Chao and Gu Jianbo discussed the matter. The most dangerous and painful stage of the experiment was over.
With Meng Chao's super healing abilities, they had already figured out a few formulas that were not as dangerous.
With the technical support provided by the manufacturers, the medical cabins had also been modified to different degrees and turned into brand new cultivation cabins.
If they wanted to promote the Ultimate Style, they had to obtain the acknowledgement of normal martial artists and low-grade superhumans.
If only monsters like Meng Chao could cultivate it, it would be meaningless.
Hence, they warmly welcomed Ma Hong and the other students from society to join them.
At that moment, the preliminary results of the experiment were sent to Yan Organization. Yan Hengbo was very satisfied, and he gave them another sum of money.
And Gu Jianbo used some method to convince Dean Zong to get a large batch of experimental and cultivation machines that had been abandoned by the martial arts course. They could carry out five to seven groups of controlled experiments at the same time.
Their efficiency increased by leaps and bounds, and in one day, they could carry out dozens of experiments.
And the legend of Meng Chao as a monster spread far and wide among the students from society.
Most of the students from society, including Ma Hong, who was serving in the Red Dragon Army, could only last for five to ten minutes of electrical stimulation and clearing their branch meridians before they screamed in pain. Their mental strength indices went over the limit, and they had to run out of the cultivation cabins.
But Meng Chao could stay in the cultivation cabins for a few hours with a calm expression. In fact, he even enjoyed it.
His record for the longest time was for him to soak in gene medicine for a total of seven hours under the continuous electrical stimulation. He absorbed a tank of thick medicine until there was not a single drop left.
Under the dual stimulation of gene medicine and bioelectricity, his bones let out cracking sounds, his muscles swelled, and profound and complicated spirit tattoos that were as thin as hair appeared on his skin. The aggressive and burning spirit flames were so strong that even the cultivation cabins could not block them. They gave off the feeling that they were standing next to a steel furnace.
Including Ma Hong, the students from society who had gone through hundreds of battles could not help but shudder.
It was the end of September.
The experiments entered a critical stage.
Meng Chao became busier. He practically spent twenty-four hours in the lab, and it was difficult for him to even fulfill his promise to Ning Shewo to work as a harvesting assistant for two hours every day.
In the eyes of the martial arts course students, his existence was so faint that he was like a ghost.
Being a ghost meant that it was difficult for them to see him. Regardless of whether it was the classes with hundreds of people, the cultivation fields that the students liked to go to because they could show off, the canteen or the dorms, or the club activities that the freshmen were very passionate about, Meng Chao was nowhere to be found.
Even when he occasionally appeared in very important professional classes, he looked as if he had been squeezed dry and drifted around like a wandering ghost. He did not seem to exist at all.
More than a month had passed, and no one mentioned his surprising performance during the admission test.
Some people heard about God Chao from the resource course, but different professions meant different worlds.
However, different professions were worlds apart. Pure martial artists usually did not think that the techniques of the harvesters were amazing. They even thought that the harvesters were only helping them clean up after the battle.
There were also people who thought that Meng Chao did not do his job properly and was distracted.
"If he wanted to be a harvester, wouldn't it have been better if he had just applied for the resource course?
"Because he awakened in the battlefield and killed a Bloody Moon Wolf King, he overestimated his fighting talent and applied for the martial arts course.
"After he entered university, he realized that the path of a martial artist isn't as easy as he imagined it to be for broken-star superhumans. He became afraid of difficulties, and he wanted to go back to the path of a harvester. That must be it, right?"
Duan Lian told the students in private.
During the admission test, Meng Chao had launched a preemptive counterattack, and he missed out on the two ace lecturers, which turned him into a great regret.
He was furious, so it was only natural that he spoke with emotion.
But when the students thought about it carefully, they found that Duan Lian's words could not be refuted.
"By the looks of it, before long, this guy will be kicked out of the martial arts course."
Duan Lian gritted his teeth. "Before he leaves, I will definitely let him know that even if I can't follow the two ace lecturers, I, Duan Lian, am still one of the Four Great Kings of the martial arts course!"
Xie Feng had also heard about Duan Lian wanting to cause trouble for Meng Chao.
"Meng Chao, what have you been doing over the past few days? This is your most precious golden period, you can't just waste it like this!"
Xie Feng went to Meng Chao and advised him earnestly. "Look, Sun Ya, Jiang Rui, and I found ace lecturers. We have a lot of resources and a lot of chances to earn monster coins. In just a short span of a month, we've already cleared more spirit meridians and can create around twenty spirit energy magnetic fields. Our fighting strength is more than five times stronger than it was during the admission test!
"But what about you? You hide in a corner during class and let your mind wander off. When you cultivate, it's as if you have myasthenia gravis. You don't join the club activities either. Those are good chances for you to gain knowledge, earn monster coins, and get to know the upperclassmen!
"I know that broken-star superhumans don't have a lot of killing moves, but even if you've only cleared three or four main meridians in your right arm, if you rearrange them, you can create a few spirit energy magnetic fields. How many do you have?
"Also, over the past month or so, aside from wolfing down food in the canteen, you haven't spent a lot of monster coins. You didn't even apply for a luxurious single dorm. You should have around ten thousand monster coins left, right?
"The protection period for new students is over now, so students can challenge each other freely. I heard that Duan Lian isn't the only one who wants to cause trouble for you. Many of the new students have also improved by leaps and bounds over the past month. They heard that you have a lot of money in your hands, so they're all sharpening their weapons. They want to take advantage of you. After all, you're famous, but your strength … is obvious to all.
"If you're really not interested in martial arts, you should change courses as soon as possible. I heard that you're doing pretty well in the resource course, right? If you still want to be a martial artist, don't get stuck in a dead end because of Project 1024. Ms. Li already said that it's a dead end! "
