"Could it be that my brain cell activity has increased to 331%, so the flow of time in the memory fragments has also slowed down by three times?"
Li Yao's heart was beating like a drum.
Once this conjecture was confirmed, he would have ten times more cultivation time than an ordinary person.
"In this way, no matter how difficult the basic theory is, it will not be difficult for me. Not only can I learn all the basic theory courses in the Grand Desolate War Institution, I will also have a lot of time to study the refining classics in the Heavenly Refining Tower!"
Li Yao licked his lips. His eyelids drooped as he calmed his mind. His consciousness once again sank into the depths of his brain as it swam towards the memory tree.
"Whoosh!"
Li Yao reappeared at the bottom of the Heavenly Refining Tower. Around him were bookshelves that covered the sky and covered the earth. Countless techniques and refining classics of the Hundred Smelting Clan were spread out.
The corner of Li Yao's mouth curled up as he pulled out the "Thirteen Ancient Sword Diagrams" from the bookshelf.
The sword was the head of all weapons. To learn refining, one must first learn how to forge a sword. Therefore, in the ancient cultivation world, refiners were also called "sword forgers".
This "Thirteen Ancient Sword Diagrams" recorded thirteen very classic refining methods for flying swords. Every refining method for flying swords contained dozens of crucial refining techniques.
Once the "Thirteen Ancient Sword Diagrams" was completely chewed up, it could be considered as a basic beginner. One could start refining some of the simplest flying swords.
Although there were only thirteen simple flying swords, the telepathic thoughts contained within were as vast as the sea. Li Yao had always wanted to study this refining manual since he obtained it. However, he did not have the time and did not dare to rashly try it.
Now was the perfect time to feast his eyes and appreciate the endless mysteries of the ancient flying swords!
"Huala, huala..."
At the bottom of the Heavenly Refining Tower, only the sound of pages flipping could be heard.
At the beginning, Li Yao was still thinking about the experiment. Not long after, he was deeply immersed in the bizarre, thrilling, and mysterious world of the ancient flying swords. He had completely forgotten everything.
In the real world, three hours later, dawn was about to arrive.
The Cultivation Gym was still bustling with noise and excitement. Countless students who had stayed up late were still venting their strength.
"Pa pa! Pa pa pa pa! "
Zhang Chuang was like a crazed gorilla. The muscles all over his body were like crystal bombs, and the explosive power kept blasting into the target. The Strength Testing Machine was tormented until it swayed and was on the verge of collapse.
Suddenly, his mini crystal processor started vibrating crazily.
"Brother Chuang, it's not good. Quickly come to the Super Perception Cabin and take a look!" A classmate sent a message.
"What's going on? Did someone go berserk again? Isn't that normal? Every two or three days in the Super Perception Cabin, there will be people suffering from Qi Deviation. Just pull them in for treatment, "Zhang Chuang said disapprovingly.
Although he had just entered the school, he was the top scorer in the city-level college entrance examination. Other than the specially recruited students, he was the strongest among the freshmen. Therefore, he assumed the role of a small leader in the Ironfist Society, responsible for managing the chores in the training hall at night.
"No, it's Li Yao …" The student hesitated.
"Li Yao? By the way, when did he leave? I was probably too focused on my cultivation and didn't see him leave. "Zhang Chuang grabbed a towel to wipe his sweat.
"He, he hasn't left yet. He's still in the Super Perception Cabin," the student stammered.
"What?"
"Bang!" Zhang Chuang unexpectedly crushed the towel in his hand.
He furrowed his eyebrows and glared as he repeatedly roared, "What are you guys doing? Do you want to kill someone? An average person may suffer from Qi Deviation after staying in the Super Perception Cabin for half an hour. Three hours, I reckon that their brains will be cooked! You guys are really, really — "
Zhang Chuang fiercely threw away the towel fragments and madly ran, cursing loudly as he ran. He poured a torrent of abuse on the several staff members.
"Brother Chuang, calm down. Things aren't what you think. In short, it's very strange. You'll know when you come and take a look. Even if I tell you now, you absolutely won't believe it! "
"Cut the crap. I, Zhang Chuang, can be considered to be from a cultivation family. Since the age of three, I have been exposed to the grotesque world of cultivation. What kind of strange things have I not seen?"
Zhang Chuang roared as he sped up and arrived at the scene in a moment.
Then, he discovered that it was really super strange!
Three staff members and more than a dozen students. All of them were dumbstruck as they stood in front of a Super Perception Cabin. They looked inside with a rather fearful expression as if the one cultivating inside wasn't a human, but a Demon God!
"What's the situation? Why are you staring at the Super Perception Cabin? Why aren't you dragging him out?! Do you really want to kill someone?! "
Zhang Chuang was furious as he pushed aside the crowd and grabbed a student by the collar.
"Brother Chuang, listen to me. Student Li Yao indeed stayed inside for three hours. However, except for the first half hour where his blood pressure and heartbeat were a little unstable, his physiological index was completely normal for the next two and a half hours. There wasn't a single index that exceeded the normal limit. That's why we didn't pay attention to it. By the time we discovered it, nearly three hours had already passed!"
"What?"
Zhang Chuang's eyes opened even bigger than copper bells. "Are you kidding me? His brain cell activity increased by more than 300% for more than three hours, and his physiological index is still completely normal? Is he a human or a Demon Beast? Even a Demon Beast wouldn't be so exaggerated! "
The student was spat on by Zhang Chuang as he said with a tangled expression, "I haven't finished speaking yet. Student Li Yao's physiological index is not only completely normal, but his heartbeat, pulse, breathing rate, and other key indicators are also at 70% of the usual. We usually call this state … deep sleep!"
"What! What!? "
Zhang Chuang's roar almost tore open the ceiling. He shook the poor student with all his might and roared like thunder, "Do you know why this thing is called the 'Super Perception Cabin'? It's because this thing can make people in the Super Perception Cabin! Level! Clear! Wake! Up! Abnormal! "
"And now you're telling me that someone can fall into a deep sleep in the Super Perception Cabin with a brain cell activity of 300%? Is there a problem with your tongue, or is there a problem with my ears? "
The student smiled bitterly, "Brother Chuang, there's no problem with my tongue, and there's no problem with your ears. However, I'm very suspicious that there's a big problem with our eyes!"
Zhang Chuang spat and pushed aside the crowd. He stuck his nose to the transparent crystal and looked inside with his big eyes.
His eyeballs suddenly straightened!
He saw Li Yao sitting cross-legged in the center of the large silkworm cocoon with a strange smile on his face. His expression was calm, and there was even a trace of saliva hanging from the corner of his mouth as he emitted a weak snoring sound.
All of this indicated that he was in a state of deep sleep.
His eyeballs were trembling at a high speed, which meant that his soul was immersed in an incomparably wonderful dream!
"Brother Chuang, Student Li Yao has already been in this state for three whole hours," the student faintly added.
Zhang Chuang was completely stupefied. He was flabbergasted for a long time before he recovered his ability to speak.
After a long time, he squeezed out a sentence, "F * ck, this kid is really a sleeping god!"
… …
From this day onwards, a legend appeared in the Grand Desolate War Institution.
A legend related to the "Sleeping God"!
According to the legend, this Sleeping God had an extraordinary innate talent and was able to sleep soundly in any place. He also had a very strange hobby, which was that he especially liked to sleep in the Super Perception Cabin.
When other people's brains were boiling in the Super Perception Cabin as they crazily studied basic theoretical knowledge, they would always be able to see this Sleeping God in the large silkworm cocoon nearby with a smile on his face. He would sleep soundly for most of the day.
That happy and contented appearance of his simply made people not know whether to laugh or cry — if he was really so sleep-deprived, wouldn't it be better if he directly went to the Deep Sleep Cabin? Why would he need to attract people's attention here?
"Could it be that he is under too much pressure and there is something wrong with his brain? That's why his brain cells aren't active no matter how much he stimulates them?"
"It's possible. After all, what he is facing is an impossible task. He has to blast away 40000 credits in a year and then pass the Refiner Registration Examination in order to preserve the Refining Department — this is too frightening. It's simply impossible to accomplish!"
"Then how many credits does he have right now?"
"Let me check the Leaderboard … 0! He hasn't even taken an exam yet! "
"Ah?"
Such whispers fluttered in every corner of the campus.
However, no matter who it was, no one dared to get to the bottom of things in front of Li Yao.
After all, cultivators were different from ordinary people. Many of the students were born in aristocratic families of cultivators. Their families had a long history of learning, and they all had their own unique skills.
There were also some people who had fortuitous encounters since childhood. They had either slain strange beasts, eaten strange fruits, or inadvertently obtained a unique ability … In the world of cultivators, these were all common occurrences.
If they rashly went up and asked, "Hey, fellow student, why are you able to enter deep sleep in the Super Perception Cabin? What kind of fortuitous encounter did you have? Why don't you tell us so that we can broaden our horizons?"
Once such words were spoken, even if Li Yao beat this guy up on the spot, no one would sympathize with him.
As for the teachers, they would be even less concerned about these things. University and high school were completely different. High school teachers might chase after the students like housekeepers, but in university, if the students were willing to learn, then the teachers would teach them with all their heart. If you were to sleep all day, then that was your freedom. No one would interfere.
After all, they were all adults. They had to walk their own path one step at a time.
Moreover, Yuan Manqiu was busy with the reconstruction of the Refining Department. She had been on a business trip and contacting the scattered grassroots refiners. She simply didn't have time to care about such trivial matters. She had thought that it would take at least two to three months for Li Yao to learn all the basic theory classes!
Li Yao was like a weed that was struggling to grow under the rubble that no one could see.
One day … Two days … Three days …
Every day, he would spend twelve hours in the Super Perception Cabin.
While others thought that he was sleeping, his soul was actually immersed in the depths of the Heavenly Refining Tower, concentrating on learning nearly a hundred basic theory classes.
Ten days in the real world was equivalent to three months in the Heavenly Refining Tower. Li Yao had finally chewed up, absorbed, and mastered all the 88 basic theory classes!
Soon after, he set his sights on the higher-level theoretical classics.
His goal was to use half a month in the real world and five months in the Heavenly Refining Tower to read through most of the classics.
Even if he couldn't understand them, he had to deeply imprint them in his mind and lay the most solid foundation for the next step of cultivation! Floating astronomy.
