The sightseeing bus sped through the campus.
Most of the students of Acumen College were still brainstorming for the club activities. They were trembling with fear for the eight credits a year. The people on the bus were truly hateful.
Unfortunately, no one on the bus had this awareness. In a certain sense, they were a group of people isolated from the real campus.
Xue Lei sat in the front seat and chatted with Xie Junping about the party. He was a bit curious and nervous after entering a completely unfamiliar circle. Xie Junping was laughing and joking with him. He spoke half-truths and half-lies, playing around with him.
Luo Nan sat in the back. At first, he listened to Xie Junping and Xue Lei chat, but then his mind sunk into the heart lantern of the eyes orifice. He clairvoyantly observed the flickering flames and the changes in the surrounding environment, not missing a hair.
The heart lantern of the eyes orifice lit up, illuminating a region of his brain. The results of this cultivation were quite mysterious, but it wasn't the first guest in Luo Nan's brain. There was another object revolving around the heart lantern right now.
The external neuron.
This Dynamo Core was like a dragon that floated in his brain. It moved around the lantern, appearing and disappearing from time to time. When it got closer, the electricity overflowed, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. It intersected with the flames of the heart lantern, swallowing and spitting. It seemed as if it could be swallowed at any time. It made one's heart tremble with fear.
This sort of situation had existed not long after the heart lantern was lit. And it absolutely didn't just look scary. This was the first time this thing came close. The energies of both sides reacted, and the electricity radiating from the external neuron directly extinguished the heart lantern. Luo Nan's many days of hard work were destroyed in an instant.
Similar situations occurred seven times in a row, tormenting Luo Nan until he began to doubt his life.
In the eighth round, when he was close to despair, the electricity directly entered the heart lantern. It strongly fueled the ignition, illuminating everything with light. The amount of growth this time was ten times more than the sum of his hard-earned savings.
Over the next few days, the external neuron would come every time he finished cultivating in the eyes orifice. It would bombard the heart lantern with electricity. Luo Nan's goal of a thousand people per day was to form groups of a hundred people. He cultivated in ten groups every day, and this lightning dragon would appear ten times.
Though it was never extinguished, sometimes the tyrannical electricity would greatly dampen the brightness and harmony of the heart lantern. If Luo Nan hadn't strengthened it a few times in between, Luo Nan's progress would have been unsightly.
It was for this reason that Luo Nan admired Xue Lei. Luo Nan felt rather complex feelings towards Xue Lei: Don't look at his current progress as being delightful. In fact, it's all over again and again. Should I look at it after cultivating tomorrow? Perhaps it would completely collapse!
Luo Nan had been in the daoguan for a few days. He had long since understood the heart lantern. The first few times the Heart Lamp was extinguished, it was fortunate that his cultivation was shallow and the backlash was not strong. It only took him two more days of effort. But now, if the Heart Lamp were to be extinguished once more, the damaged structure of his eyes and his mind and willpower would have to be restored. He would have to think about it for a year and a half.
It was as if there was a bomb hidden in his brain that could explode at any time, and he was the one who put it in his brain …
Luo Dong School. through. was. Luo Yang Academy, Chen, and Star. out. he said. "Lu..
He thought for a moment, then added the word "electricity" after the word "fire", followed by the word "ice" before he finally gave up.
After writing these words, he unconsciously sighed. It wasn't a good analogy to call a bomb. It would be more appropriate to call it an iceberg … They were all hidden beneath the surface of the water, waiting for people to crash into them.
After cultivating in the eyes orifice for a few days, Luo Nan felt that his greatest harvest was that he now understood the standard of precision needed for true cultivation. He also used this precision to re-examine the process of practicing Formatting Theory. He wanted to know if he had made any mistakes, if he had made any mistakes.
Of course, the answer was yes.
Whether or not Formatting Theory had its own flaws, he would not discuss it for the time being. In his cultivation of Formatting Theory, there were too many things that he knew but did not know why. He relied on his grandfather's theory to walk down this path. Many small details were determined by his own laws. This was why Xiu Shenyu had labeled him an "external law" and had trapped him in a cage.
The current situation faced by the heart lantern of the eyes orifice was the death Luo Nan brought upon himself.
The use of the external neuron's "Void Depository" function originated from Elder Mo Lun of the Bloodflame Order. At the time, Luo Nan's soul strength was growing explosively. The imbalance between his body and soul intensified, and he did not know how to deal with it. It just so happened that the Wraith Sign had occupied the magpie's nest and was lurking by Mo Lun's side. Luo Nan used the Wraith Sign as his eyes and ears. He referred to Mo Lun's methods against the soul envoy and took the initiative to pull apart the distance between his body and soul. His soul and body seemed to be joined, but they weren't. This reduced the pressure on his fleshly body. This method was indeed effective, but there were many repercussions. It caused Luo Nan to be sensitive and have many dreams. His mind was absent-minded.
Later, Luo Nan discovered that the external neuron had the "Void Depository" function. When his soul was entrusted to it, it was like entering an empty world. There were no distracting psychic waves. Later, the Wraith Sign hunted and created a disturbance. He relied on the external neuron to cushion the pressure, saving his life.
Since then, Luo Nan had always entrusted his soul to the external neuron to reduce the pressure. He gradually grew accustomed to it.
So it was more accurate to say that Luo Nan's body and soul had been lacking a fusion for a very long time. Most of his soul was entrusted to the external neuron. Even though this strange object was hidden in his brain, it was not an organ of his flesh and blood. There was still a layer separating the two.
Xiu Shenyu said that the fleshly body was rejected by the external technique. When combined with reality, it was actually a barrier and conflict between the external neuron, which was the carrier of the soul, and the naturally existing fleshly body.
This was the crux of the problem … At the very least, this was the case in the realm of understanding.
This was where the matter came to a dead end.
Luo Nan could control the external neuron, causing it to move to various parts of his brain. He could even drive it out. However, his frail fleshly body was far from being able to bear the heavy pressure of his soul body. He could not do without the "Void Depository" function.
Moreover, in the end, he would need to transfer soul strength from the "My heart's a prison" format to refine it. The connection between the eyes orifice and it was inevitable. Especially after every refinement of the orifice, the eyes orifice would become nimble and harmonious, linking his body and soul. It was like the positive and negative charges in a raincloud attracting each other. The situation of lightning bombarding the heart lantern was inevitable.
This meant that every time Luo Nan practiced, he would have to face the dangerous test of entering a state of mental derangement. He failed the first seven times, but he persevered through the next few dozen times. He even obtained some benefits. It looked like this business was feasible.
However, the matter of cultivation required meticulous concentration. What they feared the most were ups and downs. Even if this kind of benefit was multiplied by ten times, it would not be able to withstand the destructive blow brought by a moment of crisis.
"The problem is fatal, and having no one to help is even more fatal …."
Luo Nan did not open his eyes. He just used his fingertips to streak across the pages of the notebook, flipping them back and forth. The external neuron was a core, a secret that could easily be stripped away. He would not tell anyone about its existence. This led him to rely on himself. He pondered over his plans bit by bit.
It had been six days since the first time the heart lantern was lit. He had dealt with sixty strikes of lightning.
In the beginning, Luo Nan could not think of anything else. He could only do his utmost to strengthen the structure of the eyes orifice. He would rather greatly slow down his progress in order to stabilize the foundation of the heart lantern. He even referred to the configuration of Fairchild's Shield of Truth. He borrowed the half-formed eyes orifice, the fusion of body and soul. He spent a great deal of effort to fine-tune the microscopic structure of the eyes. It was for no other purpose than to seek stability.
Though this method was stupid, the results were decent. Especially after repeated experiences a few dozen times, it was like the forging method of tempered steel in ancient times. Luo Nan forged and hammered again and again, causing the structure of the eyes orifice to become tough and solid. The ignited heart lantern emitted a mellow and pure intent. Only in this way was he able to block fifty-three strikes of lightning in a row and remain undefeated.
However, Luo Nan still had a deep worry in his heart.
This worry grew heavier and heavier as he pondered deeper and deeper into the phenomenon of the heart lantern being electrocuted.
"Nanster, what are you thinking about?"
Xie Junping's deliberately raised voice finally entered Luo Nan's ears. Luo Nan was a bit startled. He half-opened his eyes and looked forward. "What's wrong?"
Xue Lei's complaint rang out at the same time. "Don't disturb him. Maybe he's cultivating."
Xie Junping laughed. "The car is swaying back and forth. What kind of cultivation is he cultivating? Aren't you afraid of running amok?"
Luo Nan was left speechless after being stabbed in the face.
Xie Junping didn't look at the road. He turned his head and laughed. "People train in martial arts. The more they train, the more spirited they become. For example, Leister. But look at you. You've been drooping your eyes these past few days. It's like you haven't woken up yet. If you train like this, which pretty girl would pay attention to you!? "
Luo Nan leaned back, doing his best to relax his body. His eyes remained squinted. "Yesterday you said that you were going to meet some friends. It would be more convenient to deal with the matter of Gear."
"Of course. Of course I said that." Xie Junping put on an innocent face. "But didn't I tell you? Vice President Tang Yi of the Mystic Arts Research Society has the highest chance of ascending. Her nickname is Blood Peony. She's a standard beauty complex. You can't even get close to her unless you're a handsome guy over 80 points. Even if you do get close, most of them will be trampled into the dirt …. Right now you're relying on your shota face. You're barely able to muddle along with being delicate and cute. If you don't pull yourself together, your future will be unpredictable! "
Luo Nan let out a long sigh. He simply closed his eyes completely. He was too lazy to say anything more. But at this time, the heart lantern burned in his brain. The flames burned brightly, but it lost its harmony. Clearly, the sixtieth electric shock had stuffed the heart lantern too full.
Restoring the heart lantern to the eyes orifice would certainly form pressure on the incomplete structure …. This was a situation that needed to be dealt with first.
Luo Nan was used to this. He didn't open his eyes. His fingertips fumbled with the notebook, flipping it to the back. He found a flat piece of soft paper sandwiched between the pages. The paper was thin and a bit rough, but it was valuable. This was a paper talisman that Mr. Gao had personally made. It was quite extravagant for Luo Nan to use it for practice.
He stroked the paper in his hand, recalling the techniques that Papercut had taught him. His fingertips moved, and he folded the paper talisman in a simple manner. He held it in his palm.
His eyes could not see, but the heart lantern was focused.
In his brain, the flames suddenly flared and then extinguished. In this instant, Luo Nan's hand that held the paper talisman felt as if it had been burned by an incorporeal flame. A burning pain pierced through him. His five fingers instinctively opened, and it seemed as if some ash impurities were leaking out from between his fingers.
Then there was a very real feeling of impact. Luo Nan's five fingers closed once more. Only then did he open his eyes to look.
There was no paper talisman at this time. All he saw was a paper man with all four limbs. It had a muddle-looking face, and it was about the size of a palm. It had collided with the inner edge of Luo Nan's thumb, and then it went limp. The open car frame sent a cool breeze over, and the paper man's hands and feet shook. There was no other reaction besides this.
