In the next few days, Shi Xiaoling's body didn't show any discomfort due to being infected by the virus, and he was completely immersed in the world of ancient martial arts.

The true essence that he had yearned for for for many years finally gathered in his body. This greatly stimulated Shi Xiaoling, who was a martial arts enthusiast, to practice martial arts. Apart from a very small amount of sleep time, Shi Xiaoling spent almost all his time cultivating his true essence in ancient martial arts.

Relying on his many years of research on ancient martial arts and his own unique inspiration, Shi Xiaoling quickly found a few sets of cultivation techniques that were most suitable for his practice. Although these cultivation techniques didn't even have a name due to the passage of time, Shi Xiaoling felt that these were the most suitable cultivation techniques for his training and was deeply engrossed in them.

Although the true essence that Shi Xiaoling could gather at present was still very weak, it was actually the energy that existed in his body. This made him feel that the high level depicted in the ancient martial arts books was not a fantasy, as long as he could train his true essence according to the law, becoming a superman in his dreams might not be a pipe dream.

Every day, whether it was class or training, Shi Xiaoling was thinking about cultivating his true essence. Even when he dreamed at night, it was as if his true essence was constantly flowing through his meridians.

The instructors and medical researchers in the training base were very tolerant of Shi Xiaoling due to the care and concern of Chief Instructor Cai Haohua. No matter how distracted he was during class, he was not reprimanded.

The medical research team led by Tang Zhishu also stepped up their examination of Shi Xiaoling's body, and reported his daily physical examination data to Cai Haohua.

Shi Xiaoling didn't feel impatient with the sudden increase in the number of physical tests. Whenever he encountered a difficult situation in the world of ancient martial arts, he simply treated Tang Zhishu's research team as a form of rest.

His progress in True Essence cultivation had been rather smooth, causing him to spend most of the time immersed in a state of excitement. Sometimes, even he felt that his excitement had gone too far. However, every time he met Tang Zhishu, Shi Xiaoling would quickly calm down. He would always cooperate and undergo blood sampling and various special tests.

Tang Zhishu was quite satisfied with Shi Xiaoling's cooperative attitude. From his daily surveillance, he could tell that Shi Xiaoling was obsessed with the world of ancient martial arts and didn't care about sleeping at all. This confused Tang Zhishu.

All these years, there had been so many people coming and going in the training base. No one had ever been as obsessed with ancient martial arts as Shi Xiaoling, regardless of their own conditions. With Shi Xiaoling's age of twenty-seven or eight, it was hard to understand why he would be so obsessed with the useless ancient martial arts of modern society.

One day, Tang Zhishu couldn't help but ask Shi Xiaoling why he loved ancient martial arts so much.

Shi Xiaoling thought for a moment and replied, "When I was training in ancient martial arts, I could feel the meaning of life. Shi Xiaoling thought for a while before replying," When I cultivated in ancient martial arts, I could feel the meaning of life.

"Sometimes, I feel that my training is the same as the research that you've done, Dr. Tang. They're both exploring the mysteries of life, and the deeper I go into them, the more I can feel the wonders and greatness of life. Don, do you feel the same way at work? "

At first, Tang Zhisu was dumbstruck, but soon he became respectful. He had never thought that this fanatical martial artist would be able to give such an opinion. If she thought about it carefully, as a researcher and medical expert, wasn't it because she had experienced the wonders and greatness of life many times in this job that she was willing to devote herself to the boring experiments of physiological medicine?

Once upon a time, Tang Zhishu had also been surprised and impressed by the amazing and unpredictable nature of human life. However, as time passed, as the anger towards the "National Life Improvement Program" accumulated, this kind of work surprise had not appeared for a long time.

He hadn't expected that the martial arts fanatic Shi Xiaoling, who often appeared silly in the surveillance footage, would be able to experience the same concept and comprehension from the ancient martial arts practice. Tang Zhishu couldn't help but have a whole new level of respect for him. Unknowingly, Tang Zhishu's impression of Shi Xiaoling had greatly improved.

Shi Xiaoling didn't notice the change in Tang Zhishu's expression when he looked at him. He only confessed his feelings to a researcher that he trusted. Soon, he sank back into his martial arts world.

Ten days after the first grade X virus was inoculated, Shi Xiaoling was inoculated with the second grade X virus. In the following thirty days, his body was still safe and sound without any adverse reactions.

In the aspect of ancient martial arts cultivation, Shi Xiaoling was already able to use various kinds of power techniques to stimulate the Zhen Yuan in his body. Compared to the other students in the base who had achieved breakthroughs, the amount of true essence that Shi Xiaoling could cultivate was not much stronger than others. However, he was much more proficient in the ways and techniques of the base.

The reason why he had spent so much time practicing various kinds of cultivation techniques was because he couldn't decide on the true power of these cultivation techniques. With the accumulation of true essence that he had just started, he was only able to complete some basic meridian circulation in almost all of his cultivation methods. With the accumulation of true essence that he had just started, he was only able to complete some basic meridian circulation in almost all of his cultivation methods.

However, Shi Xiaoling wasn't discouraged at all. If true essence couldn't do it, he would use his own thoughts to replace it. This was his own unique experience from many years of studying ancient martial arts.

Without true essence, he would use his own thoughts to replace it. At the very least, he would have to familiarize himself with all the cultivation techniques in his chest.

Before obtaining strong enough Zhen Yuan, for Shi Xiaoling, every cultivation method was very precious, no one knew the true power of these cultivation techniques, but Shi Xiaoling believed in his own intuition, he always relied on his own unique self-perception to do all kinds of mixing for these unknown ancient martial arts, hoping to find the best combination to display the power of these ancient martial arts.

Tang Zhishu had been paying attention to the changes in Shi Xiaochun and no longer saw him as a crazy martial arts fanatic. Just as Shi Xiaoling had said, although one of them was practicing martial arts and the other was studying physiological science, in a sense, they were both doing the same thing, and were both exploring the potential and mysteries of life.

After his attitude toward Shi Xiaoling had greatly improved, Tang would often chat with him during his physical examination. Sometimes he would even talk about the integration of the nervous system, the relationship between cell differentiation and energy conversion, which was a very professional topic. Shi Xiaoling listened with relish, and got inspiration from these seemingly boring topics to immerse himself in the study of ancient martial arts.

As a response, Shi Xiaoling began to explain to Tang Zhishu some bold ideas on how to cultivate true essence after many years of research. For example, it seemed incredible to think of ways to expand the capacity of his meridians so that he could have enough space to store up his true essence in the future.

To others, this was a boring and even absurd topic, but the two of them were always chatting with each other with great interest. Sometimes, the two could even draw inspiration from each other for their research, and over time, the two of them got along more and more.

Gradually, when they met, they began to talk about their families and their upbringing. Aside from their studies, the two were looking forward to meeting each other two or three times a day due to their physical examination. Unknowingly, the feelings between the two had undergone a subtle change. It was as if they were always hoping to see each other a few more times before they could rest in peace.

Even though Tang Zhisu always came with an assistant or nurse, and even though Shi Xiaoling was always troubled when he was alone, the two of them would always feel relaxed and happy whenever they met.

Time flew by quickly and quickly. The virus that had been inoculating Shi Xiaoling was already at the eighth level, but he still didn't feel any discomfort. However, the number of students who passed the exam with him decreased day by day. After the continuous elimination and withdrawal, there were only fifty students left from the original ten thousand.

It was already the tenth month since this batch of students had entered the secret training base. As for Shi Xiaoling, he was somewhat pleased that he was not eliminated. After all, he was always ranked last.

From his own observations, there were many students whose athleticism talent was much better than his. Although the ancient martial arts skills they had mastered were not as rich as his, because everyone's true essence level was not too different, once they sparred, it would be difficult for Shi Xiaoling to gain the upper hand due to his sports talent being not outstanding.

However, what was strange was that these more talented students were eliminated one after another. Shi Xiaoling had asked Tang Zhishu about this.

Tang Zhisu had told him that this was because there were many students with outstanding sports talent who were not used to viruses. In addition, the training base's Instructor Cai valued Shi Xiaoling's ability to comprehend in the field of ancient martial arts very much, so he didn't really care about Shi Xiaoling's current ability to fight back.

This was because once the tenth grade Ultimate X virus was inoculated, no matter who it was, their body's ability to accumulate energy would be greatly strengthened and stimulated. At that time, the level of exercise talent wasn't that important anymore.

Although Shi Xiaoling's conditions were only average, Instructor Cai believed that his talent and cultivation in ancient martial arts might be able to help him escape the crisis.

Of course, all of this was just a hypothesis. In the end, who would be the final victor among these fifty people, and who would pass through several trials? Shi Xiaoling was just one of the candidates that were considered to be possible in this regard, while the other candidates had their own outstanding aspects.
