Chapter 209: Researching Cultivation Techniques That Can Be Popularized
With this World Advancement, Jerry also took the opportunity to conduct a census.
It wasn't to look at the gender ratio of this world, but mainly to see the ratio of Spirit Masters to ordinary people in this world.
You wouldn't know until you checked, and once you checked, you were shocked.
The ratio of Spirit Masters to ordinary people reached 1:30,000; this was even the ratio after the World Advancement, when many ordinary people had gained soul power. If it were before, it would likely have been even more terrifying.
After all, this is a world of Cultivation; for those without soul power, could there really be no other methods of Cultivation?
Looking at this data, a glimmer of light flashed in Jerry's eyes.
Jerry thought of the world of immortal cultivation, where ordinary people can also practice martial arts, cultivate to the limit, break through the Dao with martial arts, reverse the innate, and from then on embark on the path of immortal cultivation.
So, on the Douluo Continent, are there any techniques for ordinary people to practice that would eventually cultivate soul power?
Jerry thought of the Mysterious Heaven Art, but the Mysterious Heaven Art has a major flaw: it requires cultivation from a young age, and practicing the Mysterious Heaven Art also depends on talent. Don't think that it was easy for Tang San to practice it; that was because he had great talent. As for how long it would take for an ordinary person to practice it, who knows.
The Mysterious Heaven Art belongs to Internal Energy and can cultivate soul power.
Then, could he improve it based on the Mysterious Heaven Art?
Jerry only knew the circulation route of the Mysterious Heaven Art; as for how to start practicing it, he did not know.
Subsequently, Jerry applied to the Great Elder for one hundred ordinary people, preparing to conduct an experiment.
Although the Bloodline Pill can also allow ordinary people to possess soul power, the restrictions on pill refining are too great. Even if Jerry made the pill formula public, how many people could obtain Soul Beast blood without harming Soul Beasts? And how many people have Spirit Power that meets the standard to refine pills?
It was hard enough to get Spirit Masters to stop hunting Soul Beasts; if the Bloodline Pill were made public, wouldn't that just return everything to square one? Then all of Jerry's previous efforts would have been in vain.
Therefore, he must research a new method, one that can be made public and has no impact on Soul Beasts.
Very quickly, the ordinary people were gathered. The Great Elder's efficiency is something else; so fast. Jerry took a look.
Good grief, these Elders of the Spirit Hall have become crafty this time; they sent all the ordinary people from their own families who lacked soul power.
When the Great Elder announced that one hundred ordinary people were needed, with no restrictions on martial soul, all the Elders' minds became active.
Last time, Jerry needed one hundred Spirit Masters with fox martial souls. At that time, because they didn't trust Jerry, they didn't send their own family descendants. In the end, all one hundred ordinary people with fox martial souls became Spirit Masters. This matter made many Elders regret it deeply.
This time, one hundred ordinary people were needed again, and there were no restrictions on martial soul, so they must be fighting tooth and nail to grab this spot.
Originally, only one hundred were needed, which would have made it convenient for Jerry to calculate percentages, but 200 people came today. The Great Elder directly doubled the number.
"Jerry, I think if you experiment with one hundred people, the test subjects are too few. I'm giving you an extra hundred; no need to thank me, I'm leaving!"
Qian Daoliu pretended to be doing it for his own good. After saying this, he didn't even look at Jerry, and without turning his head, he flew away directly.
He had no choice either. Ever since the notification, these Elders had been coming to him for a spot, pestering him and refusing to leave. He was annoyed to death. In the end, after repeated pushbacks, there were still one hundred extra people. It was truly impossible to reduce the number anymore, so he could only send them all to Jerry.
The Spirit Hall does not allow flying!
Forget it, you are the Great Elder; who dares to stop you.
Looking at the two hundred people in front of him, sigh, the things he prepared earlier will have to be doubled.
He arranged accommodation for them in the Research Department.
Last time, the experiment had one hundred single rooms, but now they have started to become double rooms.
The next morning, class started. Jerry personally explained to them human knowledge such as Meridians and acupuncture points.
After Jerry finished speaking, he started spot-checking them one by one. In the end, he discovered that perhaps because there were too many of these Meridians and acupuncture points, they only remembered a portion.
These are truly ordinary people; their learning is slow. Jerry considered slowing down the learning progress.
Then Jerry directly took the two hundred people for a physical examination.
Good grief, what are these family descendants usually doing? Their Spirit Power didn't exceed 100, and the highest was 73.
Impressive. Previously, Jerry discovered that ordinary people could also practice Visualization, and after their Spirit Power improved, their learning would become faster. He had already notified the personnel of the Spirit Hall.
You family descendants, with such good conditions, cannot cultivate soul power, and you don't even cultivate Spirit Power well. You are simply more ordinary than the ordinary people outside.
These family descendants, ever since they awakened their martial soul and were judged to be ordinary people, never thought about cultivating in the future. Their families have money, so being a playboy is quite nice.
Coming here this time was also forced by their families. Moreover, the families had sternly instructed them this time: upon arriving here, everything must be listened to from Lord Jerry. Anyone who doesn't listen will be directly disowned and left to fend for themselves.
Once you've been a playboy for a long time, leaving the family means you are nothing, so they could only grit their teeth and come.
On the first day, explaining such complex things in the morning really worried this group of people to death. They were all descendants of great families, so they still had some vision and knew this knowledge was very precious, but they just couldn't remember it.
After Jerry received this physical test data, he summarized three points: first, this group of people has low Spirit Power; second, their physical fitness is very poor; third, they have no enthusiasm for Cultivation.
Once these are understood, it's easy to handle; he can teach in a targeted manner. No enthusiasm for Cultivation, right? Once you have soul power, you will naturally have enthusiasm for Cultivation.
And Jerry still has many means to slowly improve their enthusiasm for Cultivation.
Therefore, he must first improve their Spirit Power and physical fitness.
Jerry directly put away the previous class schedule to use later.
The new plan is very simple: in the morning, when their mental state is better, practice Visualization; in the afternoon, exercise their physical fitness.
Because they don't have any enthusiasm for Cultivation, if he relied on them to practice consciously, that definitely wouldn't work.
Therefore, he needs them to practice under Jerry's nose.
Afterward, Jerry renovated the area in front of the dormitory into two hundred squares. From now on, one person per square, and everyone will practice inside their square.
In front of the squares sat a pavilion, and Jerry placed a recliner there to supervise their Cultivation.
This area, including the dormitory, was covered by the Spirit Gathering Array and Gravity Array set up by Jerry.
This group of people is so weak; they probably haven't even been to the Gravity Field outside!
Let's try one times gravity first. Jerry just adjusted the gravity to one time.
"Bang," "bang," "bang"...
All two hundred people were wiped out, all lying on the ground, unable to stand up at all.
Sigh, they really are too weak.
There was no other way; Jerry could only weaken it. At 0.1 times gravity, these people slowly stood up.
However, there was a trace of anger on their faces, but hindered by their families' instructions, they dared to be angry but dared not speak.
As long as there is anger, that's good; he wants to stir up their anger so that they will have the desire for Cultivation.
Afterward, Jerry told them to practice Visualization under 0.1 times gravity.
Furthermore, Jerry told them that practicing in front of Jerry's true self was easier and much better than the plaza outside.
They practiced like this for the whole morning, then tested again, and their Spirit Power had all increased; most had gained three or four points, with the highest gaining six points.
As expected, under this kind of high pressure, the effect of practicing Spirit Power is a bit better.
At noon, Jerry arranged for people to deliver custom-made high-energy food, and everyone ate mouthful after mouthful; the morning of practicing in the Gravity Array had truly consumed too much.
After eating, they could rest, and class would start at two in the afternoon.
During this interval, Jerry was thinking about how to improve their physical fitness.
Their starting point was too weak, so high intensity definitely wouldn't work.
Finally, Jerry thought of a good idea: broadcast gymnastics; this should be fine, right?
He took out the previous Spirit Guidance Player, thought for a moment, and made a few large speakers.
For the eight-beat rhythm, Jerry recorded it himself, listened to it, and felt it was a bit strange.
Right, find Hu Liena or Zizhenzhu; their voices both carry charm, so if he lets them record it with passionate voices, would the effect be better?
In the end, Jerry chose to let Zizhenzhu record it, mainly because Hu Liena's voice was a bit green.
At the thought of Zizhenzhu, Jerry got goosebumps all over, but for the sake of his experiment, he could only push through.
Half an hour later, Jerry left Zizhenzhu's residence, fleeing in a panic.
At first, Zizhenzhu wouldn't record properly, switching between a mature woman's voice and a loli voice, and this Zizhenzhu wouldn't speak properly whenever she faced Jerry, acting all coy, which made Jerry's goosebumps fall all over the floor.
However, after Jerry begged for mercy, he finally got the recording he wanted.
At two in the afternoon, after everyone had arrived, Jerry began to personally teach the broadcast gymnastics.
The broadcast gymnastics were very simple; after leading this group through it two or three times, they had all learned it.
Jerry turned on the 0.1 times gravity again, because this group was too weak, so it couldn't be kept on all the time; he had to let them adapt slowly.
Then Jerry took out his player, clicked play, and let everyone follow along.
Originally, once the gravity was turned on, many of this group couldn't hold on; it was fine in the morning because they were sitting, but in the afternoon they had to stand and do broadcast gymnastics.
When they heard Zizhenzhu's voice, everyone seemed as if they had been injected with chicken blood and began to do the broadcast gymnastics following the rhythm.
This was the effect he wanted; this voice contained the power of charm, which could stir up people's emotions.
Even Spirit Masters find it hard to resist, let alone this group of ordinary people.
Just like that, under this charming voice, they did broadcast gymnastics for the whole afternoon; when the music stopped, one by one they collapsed directly onto the ground.
However, Jerry had long since prepared drinks, made from potions that restore physical strength.
Although using a soul skill would be better, not everyone can have a Spirit Master with a Recovery skill following them during cultivation, so this drink for restoring physical strength was the key.
After drinking the beverage, it didn't take long for these people to recover.
Food had also been prepared for them long ago.
Seeing the food, one by one they acted like they hadn't eaten in hundreds of years, rushing directly to the place where food was served, each dishing out a large basin of rice and wolfing it down.
Although they ate quickly at noon, they still paid attention to some etiquette, but they didn't care about that for dinner.
After eating, they tested their bodies again, and there was some improvement, but it wasn't very large.
Jerry knew that this improvement wasn't very accurate yet; they had just finished eating, and after they slept and woke up, the improvement in their bodies would definitely be more than this.
Thinking of this, he would test again before class the next morning; that would be more accurate.
After eating, these people returned to their dorms one after another, rinsed off simply, and fell asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillows.
Jerry had originally thought they would complain a bit at night, but they all just went straight to sleep without chatting at all; it seemed this amount of exercise was just right.
If the amount of exercise hadn't met the standard, these people probably would have had time to chat and complain; the current situation was exactly the effect Jerry wanted.
The next morning, once the test results came out, as expected, everyone had a large improvement.
Jerry set up a display board directly in front of the Xiulianchang, recording the data from when they first arrived and the data after the first day of Cultivation.
These two hundred people were all very excited after seeing the real improvement.
Although we don't have soul power and everyone treats us as trash, and most of us were people who had given up on ourselves, now through the training of Lord Jerry, we have all seen improvement, saying that one day we will definitely be able to train soul power.
Seeing the data, one by one, their enthusiasm for Cultivation was directly ignited.
This display board was something Jerry did on purpose.
This group of people previously had no enthusiasm for Cultivation; if he didn't publish it and they couldn't see their own improvement, they might not have been able to hold on for a few days, but now that they saw the results of Cultivation, their enthusiasm for Cultivation could slowly be raised.
Subsequently, the second day of Cultivation began, the same as the first day.
A week later, everyone's improvement was very large, and now they were starting to chat at night; it was time to increase the intensity of Cultivation.
The second week, 0.2 times gravity;
The third week, 0.3 times gravity;
The tenth week, they could finally withstand 1 time gravity.
After ten weeks and seventy days of training, these two hundred people had shed their previous playboy images, their bodies had become much stronger, and they had a hint of masculine vigor; they had previously given people the feeling of being very weak, but now that was completely invisible.
Moreover, through these seventy days of training, not only had their Spirit Power and physical fitness improved, but other aspects had also seen great improvement, and Jerry had previously overlooked willpower and endurance, which had also improved greatly.
Regarding willpower and endurance, it was only because he had been with them during this period that he discovered it; Jerry hadn't noticed this at all before.
Everyone's endurance is different; after reaching their limit, they would use their own willpower to persist, and at first, there was no change.
It wasn't until one time, when someone broke through their physical limit by relying on willpower, that all their physical fitness improved greatly, that Jerry began to pay attention to these two points.
Afterward, Jerry no longer trained them uniformly, but formulated Cultivation plans individually based on each person's physical data, endurance, and willpower.
With this operation of Jerry's, he was able to ensure that everyone could reach their Cultivation limit every day.
Furthermore, Jerry discovered that because he appeared in front of them every day, the improvement in their Spirit Power far exceeded that of people outside.
In these ten weeks, the lowest Spirit Power was 1400 points, and the highest was 2800 points; this was almost reaching the standard of a third-level Soul Guidance Master.
Previously, the academy's Soul Guidance Masters, although they practiced Visualization every day, had very slow progress in improvement, except for those few whose martial soul happened to be related to Spirit Power and who had good talent; that is why Soul Guidance Masters were in such short supply.
Now that Jerry had found a shortcut to accelerate the practice of Visualization, he could go stroll by the Soul Guidance Master class when he had time in the future, let them practice Visualization in front of him, and speed up their increase in Spirit Power.
After ten weeks of Cultivation, their Spirit Power was no longer weak, and it was time to teach the technique again.
