Chapter 125: Improving by Leaps and Bounds while Remaining Nameless

Meng Chao did not intend to keep his knowledge to himself.

Every day, he went to the resource course to be an assistant, and aside from working at high intensity like a harvesting machine, when he was free, he would answer questions from the new students, and they would compare their harvesting skills with each other.

Since he was also a student, the angle from which he viewed a problem was different. Sometimes, his answers were more suited for the new students’ needs. Because of it, his relationship with the resource course students became better than his relationship with the people in the martial arts course.

He also got a lot of contribution points from the resource course lecturers, and he used them to exchange for the Initial Stage Healing Skills so that he could explore the Ultimate Style further.

Of course, everyone had questions.

“Ace Student Chao, if you’re so good at harvesting, why did you run off to the martial arts course? You should just join the resource course!”

“That’s right, we’re the real ace course in Agricultural University. The martial arts and monster controller course have to ask our resource course for favors all the time!”

The students were not the only ones who said that. Quite a number of lecturers extended the invitation as well. If he just said yes, they would handle the matter of him changing courses.

Meng Chao understood their good will, but he was very satisfied with his current situation.

He experimented, trained, harvested, went to his professional classes, visited the library, went to the canteen to eat, used his contribution points to trade for the Initial Stage Healing Skill, awakened new skills, and improved his Skillfulness. He worked day and night without wasting a second. Forget about going home, he seldom even called home.

Even though it was tough, he enjoyed it. He felt like he had turned into a rocket, and dazzling flames were coming out from behind his butt. He improved by leaps and bounds every day, every hour, every minute, and every second. There was not even a need to mention just how much he enjoyed exploring an unknown world.

Besides, he got to know a group of new friends.

Even though he did not come into a lot of contact with people in the martial arts course, he had been socializing with the students in the refresher course, and he found that they were very interesting people.

Perhaps it was because Meng Chao had been tormented by society for decades in his previous life, so he could not be considered a completely new student. He was like an old veteran who was sent back to the furnace to be recreated, and he was on the same wavelength as the students from society.

Among them were people like Ma Hong, who was a scout from the military who had fled from the jaws of a monster and even killed it. In the process, he awakened to supernatural abilities.

Some of the students from society worked for organizations that built communication towers. They were tasked to build signal towers in the fog and often had to climb more than one hundred meters barehanded. While the fog rolled around them and they listened to the monsters’ cries, they had to focus and work for several hours, which was how they refined an unbreakable mind.

Some of them were also miners. They had to work in horrible conditions with high radiation, and each squad had to quickly remove themselves from the situation after working for around ten minutes. Otherwise, their bodies would be affected by all sorts of radiation sicknesses.

And there were all sorts of powerful underground creatures around the mines.

Hence, the miners had to use picks and impact hammers to break the monsters’ heads aside from digging out crystals.

They fought day and night. Some people died quietly, while some awakened to supernatural abilities and went to universities and their refresher courses.

Everyone was a broken-star superhuman, and when they leveled up, they usually had to pay a huge price for it. Aside from their main meridians shrinking, a lot of them had a lot of terrifying scars.

But when they talked about their past, about their wounds, and how their comrades had sacrificed themselves, they spoke in a relaxed manner and even laughed about it. They had the elegance of those who forgot about their fear after they healed from their injuries.

Compared to the rich children who enjoyed a large amount of resources since they were young and broke through according to procedures, Meng Chao preferred staying with the students from the refresher course. Based on their lively descriptions, Meng Chao could see and remember a wider and more exciting world.

“The Ultimate Style is meant for us.” Meng Chao said seriously to the students from society. “As long as our minds and wills are strong enough, anyone can reach the ultimate stage of life. Very soon, the days of people saying that broken-star superhumans don’t have enough room for growth, are limited, and can never be like normal superhumans will be gone!”

The students from society believed his words.

Under Ma Hong’s lead, they bravely volunteered themselves to help Meng Chao and Gu Jianbo.

Based on Ma Hong’s words, aside from having flirtatious relationships with female entrepreneurs, Gu Jianbo was a pretty good person.

Many of their friends were in the refresher courses of other universities, and they were really just there to get a cert. The lecturers did not teach them seriously, and the students usually did not have the heart to learn either.

But here, Gu Jianbo taught them everything he could. He even helped them get resources and risked his reputation to do something as deviant as telling them to bet on the monster controller course.

“We’ve never treated Big Brother Bo as our brother, but a friend with whom we share an unbreakable bond. Since we know that Big Brother Bo and Big Brother Zong have done so much for the Ultimate Style and this brand new cultivation method can help broken-star superhumans break our bottlenecks and the ceiling above us, how can we just watch the two of you risk your lives for us?” Ma Hong said with a smile.

Meng Chao and Gu Jianbo spoke with each other. The most dangerous and torturous part of the experiment was already over. With Meng Chao’s great regenerative ability, they had already figured out a few low-danger medicine formulae.

With the factories providing technical support, they had also modified the medical cabins in different ways and turned them into brand new cultivation cabins.

If they wanted to promote the Ultimate Style, they would definitely need the acknowledgement of normal martial artists and low-grade superhumans.

If this were a style that only a monster like Meng Chao could practice, it would be meaningless.

Hence, they passionately invited Ma Hong and the other students from society to join them.

By then, they had already sent the results of their experiments to Yan Organization. Yan Hengbo was very pleased with the results, and he gave them another huge sum to sponsor them.

And Gu Jianbo had used some sort of method to convince Dean Zong to give them experimental equipment and cultivation machines that had been eliminated from the martial arts course but were still mostly new. They could now launch seven sets of comparison experiments simultaneously.

Their efficiency increased by leaps and bounds, and they could now conduct dozens of experiments per day.

The legend of Meng Chao the Monster also continued spreading among the students working in society.

Most of the students working in society, including Ma Hong, who was still serving in the Red Dragon Army, could only take electrical shocks and their branch meridians being cleared for ten minutes maximum. Then, they would start groaning in pain. Their mental strength indices would shoot over the safe zone, and they would have to leave the cultivation cabin.

But Meng Chao could calmly stay in the cultivation cabin for a few hours. In fact, it even looked like he enjoyed being in there.

His record was staying submerged in gene medicine for seven hours while being shocked by electricity. He also managed to absorb every last drop of the thick medicine.

As he faced the dual stimulation from the gene medicine and the bioelectricity, his bones crackled, his muscles swelled, and spirit tattoos that were as fine as hair and incredibly profound and complicated appeared on his skin. The aggressive and burning spirit tattoos were something that even the cultivation cabins could not hide. It gave others a feeling that they were standing beside a steel smelting furnace.

Even Ma Hong and the students who had fought hundreds of battles could not help but shudder.

In the second half of September, the experiment reached a critical period.

Meng Chao became even busier. He practically stayed in the lab twenty-four hours a day, which made it difficult for him to fulfill his promise of being a harvesting assistant for two hours every day.

To the martial arts course students, his existence was now as thin as a ghost’s.

And by that, they meant that it was very difficult to see him even in major lectures that hundreds of people attended, cultivation centers where the students loved going because they could show off, the canteen, the dorms, or the clubs that the new students participated in passionately. Meng Chao could not be met anywhere.

Even if he occasionally showed up in the very important professional classes, he looked as if he had been squeezed dry and moved around like a drifting ghost. His sense of presence was extremely lacking.

Another month or so passed, and no one mentioned his shocking performance during the admission test anymore.

Some people heard about Ace Student Chao from the resource course, but since they were from a different course, his deeds felt completely unrelated to their world. A pure martial artist usually thought that a harvester’s skill was nothing extraordinary. They believed that harvesters only cleaned up after them and cleared the battlefield.

There were also those who thought that Meng Chao was derelict in his studies and did not focus.

“If he wants to be a harvester, he should have applied for the resource course. Since he awakened in the battlefield and killed a Bloody Moon Wolf King by chance, he overestimated his fighting abilities and enrolled in the martial arts course.

“But after he entered university, he noticed that the path of a martial artist is not easy for a broken-star superhuman, so now he wants to become a harvester. That must be the case.”

That was what Duan Lian told the other students behind Meng Chao’s back.

Meng Chao had launched a counterattack and struck him first during the admission test, which made him miss getting under the tutelage of the two ace lecturers. It was a major regret that he could not forget.

He was filled with anger, and when he spoke, his words were, naturally, laced with fury.

Yet even if the students thought about it carefully, they felt that they could not refute Duan Lian’s words.

“By the looks of it, before long, he will leave the martial arts course.” Duan Lian gritted his teeth in exasperation. ‘But before he leaves, I will definitely let him know that even without the two ace lecturers, I am still one of the Four Great Kings of the martial arts course!’

Xie Feng had also heard about Duan Lian’s intentions to cause Meng Chao trouble, so he found Meng Chao and advised him earnestly.

“Meng Chao, what have you been doing lately? This is your precious golden period, so you can’t waste it just like that!

“Look, Sun Ya, Jiang Rui, and I all got ourselves ace tutors. We have ample resources and a lot of chances to get monster coins. In just a short month of so, we’ve cleared a lot of spirit meridians and can create around twenty spirit energy magnetic fields. Our fighting strength has increased more than three times!

“But what about you? You always hide in a corner during classes and daydream. When you cultivate, you look like you have myasthenia gravis. You don’t join the clubs either even though they can increase your knowledge, help you earn monster coins, and introduce you to our upperclassmen!

“I mean, I know that broken-star superhumans can’t master a lot of killing moves, but even if you’ve only cleared four main meridians in your right arm, when you organize them, you can still create quite a number of spirit energy magnetic fields. Yet how many have you mastered?

“Also, over the past month or so, aside from shoving food down your throat in the canteen, you haven’t been using your monster coins at all. You haven’t even registered for a lavish single dorm. You should still have ten thousand or so monster coins left, right?

“The protection period for new students is now over. Students can challenge each other freely. I heard that Duan Lian is not the only one who wants to cause you trouble.

“Many of the new students have also improved by leaps and bounds, and they’re all sharpening their weapons knowing that you have a lot of money in your hands. They want to snatch your coins! After all, you’re famous, and your strength is... obvious to all. Everyone bullies the weak, so if they don’t bully you, who else are they going to target?

“If you really don’t have the heart to walk down the path of a martial artist, it’d be best for you to switch courses as soon as possible. I heard that you’re doing pretty good in the resource course. If you still want to become a martial artist, don’t involve yourself in Project 1024 anymore! Ms. Li said that it’s a dead-end that can never be cleared!”
