Chapter 101

He only felt the sky moving and the earth shaking.

It was as if he had turned into a piece of red-hot iron in an instant, thrown under the stamping hammer.

Thunder roared.

The roaring was loud, the earth shook, the thunderous sound was continuous, and the consecutive strikes of the left and right hands were like flowing water. At the moment of starting, the end was doomed.

Under the interference of the Dissociation Technique, all spiritual quality enhancements collapsed, and the defense was completely ineffective.

The destruction that was irresistible and hearty was displayed under the hands—

Until the long-awaited warm-up was finally finished, Professor Ye showed mercy and crushed the Tianyuan emblem in the center of his chest.

Ji Jue fell backward.

Violent coughing, panting, no strength to fight back anymore.

His whole body was covered with bruises and red swelling marks, just like someone who forgot to choose Big D when voting, and was put in a box and played with for two hours of invincible wind and fire wheels.

No strength to move anymore.

The spasms and twitches of the internal organs finally reached the brain marrow at this moment, bringing uncontrollable pain and torture.

In his blurred vision, he seemed to see Professor Ye looking down.

"What move is this again?"

Ji Jue smiled bitterly, "Self, blindly... blindly pondering."

"Hmm."

Professor Ye nodded in commendation, "It is indeed very blind."

She bent down, clenched her fist, aimed at Ji Jue’s heart, and smashed a hammer down.

Ji Jue’s whole body bounced up in the dull sound, his limbs twitching.

But after being smashed with such a punch, the spasms of the internal organs and the crazy trembling of the heart actually miraculously got better. At the very least, it felt much more comfortable than the feeling of overload, collapse, and dying just now.

In that brief hammer blow just now, Professor Ye actually directly integrated the internal organs that had completely lost control, and completed an alchemical coordination inside his body.

Putting everything back together into a whole again.

Miraculous technique.

"My pharmacology attainments can only be said to be passable. Go find a pharmacist to take a look later."

Professor Ye casually took a medicine bottle out of the air, poured out something like a tablet, threw it into his mouth, and instructed him to hold it and not swallow it. A trace of coolness slid into his lungs from his mouth, extinguishing the burning pain.

Finally allowing him to barely recover to normal.

On his chest, the Mouth of the Ancient One glowed with a faint light, beginning to gradually repair his body.

"Ah Chun told me that you suddenly started reading anatomy and surgery books a few days ago... I’m afraid you started pondering it from the day you learned spiritual quality offense and defense, right?"

Ye Xian saw through Ji Jue’s tricks at a glance, shaking her head with emotion: "Turning your own body into a machine? Hey, you really have a way."

This is the mystery hidden in the trick.

In a sense, the human body composed of internal organs, blood vessels, nerves, muscles, and bones—is itself a machine.

A complex and precise survival machine.

And what Ji Jue did was to use Fluid Alchemy to forcibly raise the upper limit of his body, and after connecting with his soul, assist with Non-Aggression to perform alchemical operations on himself. Finally, through the mandatory execution power of the mechanical god, he completely turned his body into a weapon!

Liberate the upper limit, break the shackles, and run in overload like an engine. In an instant, he had acquired power and speed that did not belong to his level at all, and even crossed the big stage and entered the transformation rank.

The effect is astonishing.

The consequences are also terrible...

Because, after all, the body is not a machine.

Or rather, the tolerance of the human body is too poor for a machine.

The price of this power is Ji Jue’s own life.

If it weren't for Professor Ye watching and intervening in time from beginning to end, he would have invited Lu Ma and Ye Chun to sit at a table and start the banquet by now.

"Heart, brain, aorta... hormone disorder, severe muscle strain, bone fracture, and nerve disorder..." Professor Ye’s fingers swept across Ji Jue’s body from the air, pointing out the problems one by one, "There must be a limit to blind messing around. Doing this has no other benefits besides making it easy to die quickly."

"There must be a perfection process."

Ji Jue smiled with difficulty: "I think there will always be a chance to realize it."

After all, he doesn't have to worry about fine operation and control ability anymore. If others would be at a loss for complex human body structures, then for Ji Jue, who has both Non-Aggression, Heavenly Hand Creation, and Fluid Alchemy, although it is a bit difficult, it is not big.

It is necessary to focus on strengthening the endurance of the cardiovascular system, pay attention to the regulation of the nervous and lymphatic systems, and do a good job of protecting the brain first.

He had already started listing and analyzing the problems and organizing the next plan and experiment in his heart.

"You really haven't found out where your biggest problem is..."

Ye Xian pulled him up by his collar, stepped on the rising stairs step by step, returned to the living room, threw him back on the sofa, and then asked slowly: "Do you know where you went wrong this time?"

"Uh..."

Ji Jue hesitated and asked tentatively: "Seeking death?"

Indeed, seeking death in every sense. Some people just don't know the consequences, so they don't seek death, but some people seek death on the road to death from the beginning.

Like Ji Jue.

Ye Xian sneered: "You know you were wrong, but you’ll dare to do it next time, right?"

"Next time... cough cough, talk about next time..."

Ji Jue lowered his head obediently, ultimately choosing to tell the truth.

Honest enough, very good.

Ye Xian nodded slowly. She appreciates this kind of incorrigible guy the most.

She said, "From now on, the spiritual quality offense and defense course will be increased by two class hours every day."

Instantly, Ji Jue’s eyeballs were almost scared out: "No... necessary, right?"

"No, it’s necessary, very necessary."

Professor Ye glanced at his hands: "At the very least, wait until you can completely control Non-Aggression. Do you think the Sage also had two big flower arms when he rolled up his sleeves? It’s an eyesore."

"Ah, this..."

Ji Jue wanted to speak but stopped. He always felt that Professor Ye hated more than just this tattoo-like mark, and she didn't seem to have a good temper for Non-Aggression either.

But he didn't dare to continue asking such a deadly question, so he could only change the subject: "Do I have to learn to box too?"

"No need." Professor Ye shook her head, "It’s not like there are no guns. Just learn some necessary handling methods to deal with inconveniences. If you really fall to the point of having to fight someone at close range, wait for death early."

"But..."

Ji Jue thought for a while and asked in confusion: "What should I do if I encounter a situation where guns are useless?"

After all, high-level chosen ones resisting bullets with their bodies is basically a routine operation.

The lethality driven by gunpowder is limited after all.

Encountering a federal currency warrior like Young Master Lou, covered in shields, you will always suffer.

"The struggle between contradictions will never end."

Professor Ye looked at him meaningfully, "If the opponent’s defense is too strong, then find a way to build a more powerful and powerful gun yourself, or try to be an academic chosen one, learn to be kind to others, and don't cause disputes... which one do you choose?"

Ji Jue answered without hesitation: "Of course the latter one!"

So, Professor Ye nodded with satisfaction.

"The child can be taught."

Sure enough, it’s the student she cultivated.

On this issue, he made the same choice as her... whether the gun can be built is one thing, but at least in terms of pretending, she doesn't have to worry.

"What’s next, any ideas?"

She asked casually, "When will the course start? Besides the Dissociation Technique, there are a bunch of courses waiting for you. Ji Jue, don't think that the life of a graduate student can be so carefree."

"Ah, this..."

Two days ago, he was risking his life in the Rift, and after returning to Yacheng, he had to start being a roll dog and going to class every day. This life is really a bit too fragmented.

But for Ji Jue, it was sweet.

Learning! Full of learning! Learning makes me happy!

"However, before that, I have some ideas and want to ask you for pointers..."

After panting for a long time, he pulled open his bag with difficulty, took out his notebook, flipped through it for a long time, and finally found his messy records and hand-drawn drawings.

Looking purely at the notes above, it can only be said that it has the characteristics of a craftsman. He scribbled on the paper whenever he thought of it, hitting here and there, fragmented, and various terms and numerical calculations were messy.

It’s more outrageous than a doctor’s prescription, at least professional people can understand that.

However, although it’s messy and hurts the eyes, for Professor Ye, at least she can figure out what he wrote.

That is a design drawing.

Although some parts have not been verified in practice and only have conceptions, purely from the perspective of feasibility, it is not difficult to realize.

"Hmm?"

Her fingers tapped on her knees, subconsciously picking up her teacup and taking a sip, putting her glasses back on, pulling out the pen in her pocket, and after a brief ponder, started to correct it directly.

Under her pen’s revision, soon a complete set of lightweight design power-assisted brackets, electromagnetic muscle bundles, and buffer joint combination designs appeared on the paper.

Many data that needed calculation and verification also skipped the verification part and directly obtained the results.

"There is no problem with stability, it’s standard. The biggest taboo of this kind of design, which already has many mature examples, is to make additions casually with a pat on the head. It’s right to be restrained."

Her pen didn't stop. Besides the mechanical design, after adding reference suggestions for alchemical processing, she finally commented: "After a trip to the Rift, I thought your mentality was about to float to the sky, but now it seems that you are still down-to-earth."

"Ah, thank you, Teacher!"

Ji Jue held the notebook and beamed.

Professor Ye didn't make drastic changes to his design, but continued the original design idea and made slight additions, which had already made the feasibility and practicality of the entire design reborn, almost skipping the original long trial and error and testing stage, and directly producing it as a finished product.

And she went a step further, giving a simplification idea for further lightweighting, and even a direction suggestion for using Ji Jue’s own alchemical creation to replace some module functions.

"Overall, it can be said that there are some ideas, but not many, and, it’s too simple and lazy—"

The professor finally asked: "Why did you only design the legs and not the whole set?"

"Because it’s not necessary."

Ji Jue laughed, "The friend who needs this only has a right leg that is not very flexible, and it’s too inconvenient to always use crutches, so I thought since I have this ability, I’ll make him a more convenient tool first."

"..."

Professor Ye didn't speak anymore.

In the silence, she looked at the student in front of her, for a long time, and sighed silently as if mocking herself.

"Teacher?" Ji Jue was puzzled.

"Nothing."

She stood up slowly and said: "Let’s go, it just so happens that the furnace is empty now, you can borrow it, but don't expect me to help in the practical stage.

Have you decided what materials to use?"

"Since it’s for daily use, there’s no need for expensive materials, and there’s no need for too complex processing." Ji Jue answered fluently: "The basic materials use composite aluminum and tungsten alloy, and the remaining toughness and strength requirements are completed by alchemy."

"What about the joints?"

"Just use the template in the planetary gear application I gave you this morning, and miniaturize it after modification."

"Have you considered the braking problem? This part is not in the design."

"I want to try using the magnetic flow method of the Entropy faction to replace it, I don't know if it’s realistic."

"It is indeed a good method, but for an apprentice, the difficulty is very high. If you want to try, I won't force you." Professor Ye sighed with emotion: "Everything has been considered."

"Hmm, I’ve been pondering this in my spare time these past few days."

"Then try it. Take whatever you need from the warehouse, but don't think about fooling me with garbage for your first self-designed product." Professor Ye finally ordered: "If it really can't be helped, then honestly go back and relearn the basics yourself."

"Okay."

Ji Jue nodded, staring at the glowing light rising in the furnace in front of him, and couldn't stop smiling anymore.

Since becoming a craftsman apprentice, his first true alchemical creation.

Finally started!
