Chapter 37: Magical Source Power (Third update, seeking monthly votes for follow-up reading)

"Two pills a month?" Li Yuan sighed.

Basic Source Power essence pills, 100,000 Blue Star coins/points each. If he takes two pills, his monthly budget will rise significantly.

"You haven't taken Source Power essence pills before, right." Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan.

"No." Li Yuan shook his head. How could his family afford such cultivation treasures?

Like his uncle and aunt, being able to supply their children with basic blood-Qi potions for a long time is actually a minority of families.

Source Power essence pills? Those who dare to purchase and use them for a long time are probably billionaires.

"Then I will tell you about Source Power essence pills. They are essentially a substitute for high-level cultivation methods." Xu Bo said: "Do you know the essential difference between basic cultivation methods and high-level cultivation methods?"

"Cultivation efficiency." Li Yuan said.

"This is the result, not the cause." Xu Bo said: "Basic cultivation methods are to efficiently absorb the energy produced by the food we eat, thereby promoting the progress of life."

Li Yuan couldn't help but nod.

Modern humans, and the traditional martial arts of ancient times, the most essential difference lies in cultivation methods.

This is the key to opening the evolution of life.

"But basic cultivation methods have limits." Xu Bo said: "No matter how strong our gastrointestinal digestion function is, we can eat ten catties of nutritional meals a day, but can we eat one hundred catties of food?"

"Can't eat." Li Yuan shook his head.

"Yes, even if it is high-energy food, there are impurities after eating it, and the body can't stand it if you eat too much." Xu Bo continued: "However, powerful martial artists, let alone continue to promote physical evolution, even maintaining their physical state requires huge energy consumption."

"Like an electric car, the more powerful the power, the more electrical energy it consumes."

"Like your teacher, me."

Boom!

Xu Bo took a step, his whole body was like a phantom flashing, the air exploded instantly, and the airflow surged like wind.

Xu Bo had already stopped at the other end of the office.

"This?"

"This is a 19th-level martial artist?" Li Yuan held his breath and looked, his heart faintly excited.

He dared to be sure that the Teacher Xu just now had an instantaneous explosive speed definitely exceeding 50 meters/second.

You must know that this is an in-situ explosion, definitely not Xu Bo’s fastest explosive speed.

This is the truly powerful martial artist.

Xu Bo walked back slowly, saying as he walked: "Every day, to maintain a powerful body, if I only rely on eating, I have to eat at least tens of catties of high-energy food."

"This is still living in the city. If fighting with Star Realm creatures, the consumption is even greater, and two hundred catties of high-energy food wouldn't be enough."

Li Yuan was dumbfounded.

He thought of elephants, giraffes, and other animals, which spend most of their time eating.

If they exercise, the consumption will be even greater.

"So, we produced blood-Qi potions." Xu Bo said: "Blood-Qi potions are essentially extracted from food, easier for the human body to absorb than high-energy food, and have almost no impurities, it’s just that the price is expensive."

"Taking it can reduce the demand for food."

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

Using blood-Qi potions can not only reduce the burden of eating, but cultivation efficiency will also be at least twice as high.

"But further on, after becoming a 15th-level martial artist, or even a more powerful martial artist, even blood-Qi potions alone are hard to maintain."

"In the last few decades, Source Power essence pills have appeared, which can allow us to directly absorb Source Power."

"What is Source Power?"

"Since hundreds of years ago, when the six Star Bridges mutated, a kind of energy 'Source Power' appeared in the universe and starry sky." Xu Bo said quite emotionally: "Once you can absorb Source Power, our body’s evolution speed will increase ten or a hundred times."

Li Yuan held his breath and listened.

Source Power is extremely magical.

Like powerful martial artists, in just a few decades, they can fly to the sky and escape the earth, or even walk out of the center of a nuclear explosion safely... they rely on absorbing Source Power and promoting physical evolution.

With a human body, stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods.

"There are three ways to absorb Source Power."

"First, physical fitness reaches at least 19, and skills are sufficiently brilliant, body, mind, and intention are perfectly combined, then you can barely perceive Source Power and achieve preliminary absorption." Xu Bo said in a low voice: "This is the most primitive absorption method, the efficiency is very low, but the first generation of martial artists relied on this method to become strong step by step."

"Later."

"As the number of martial artists became more and more, and they became stronger and stronger, the first high-level cultivation method was finally deduced, and the efficiency of absorbing Source Power soared more than ten times." Xu Bo said: "Later, the second, third... until now, seven major high-level cultivation methods have appeared in human civilization."

"Even, if you can fit the corresponding high-level cultivation method, ordinary people can also achieve preliminary absorption of Source Power, making the efficiency of physical fitness improvement soar." Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan with great regret.

Li Yuan understood the teacher’s meaning.

Awakening Martial Arts spirituality is not as mysterious as the 'spiritual root' in novels.

Its essence is the degree of fit with the seven major high-level cultivation methods.

A fit degree of over 85% is awakening.

Why does human civilization attach such great importance to Martial Arts spirituality? Because ordinary people, if they cultivate high-level cultivation methods, can gradually absorb Source Power in the universe to strengthen their bodies.

In this way, the efficiency of physical evolution will soar, and the hope of becoming a Source Martial Artist will greatly increase.

This is the reason why the physical fitness of students in elite classes is generally strong.

Secondly, Source Power exists everywhere in the universe and starry sky.

It is not only much more powerful than blood-Qi potions, but also inexhaustible, which can save a lot of resources for the entire human civilization.

"Absorbing Source Power with high-level cultivation methods is the second method, and also the best method." Xu Bo shook his head: "But you can't do it now... Li Yuan, if you want to absorb Source Power in the universe through yourself, you can only use the most primitive absorption method."

"Then, you must improve your physical fitness to 19."

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

Without absorbing Source Power, improving physical fitness to 19? One can imagine how difficult it is.

Must rely on a large number of external resources.

"Of course, if you truly become an extremely powerful Source Martial Artist in the future, perhaps you can also create a high-level cultivation method suitable for yourself."

"Even create a high-level cultivation method suitable for a large number of ordinary people." Xu Bo sighed: "Then, you will be a great contributor to the benefit of human civilization."

"The world’s number one powerhouse 'Dongfang Ji' once said that everyone is uniquely gifted and should have a suitable high-level cultivation method."

"If our human civilization can give birth to one hundred high-level cultivation methods, then everyone, from their youth, will find a high-level cultivation method suitable for themselves, and there will be no such thing as Martial Arts spirituality."

"By then, the speed of martial artist birth in human civilization will be ten times faster than it is now." Xu Bo quoted Dongfang Ji: "And this requires generations of martial artists to struggle and work hard."

"One hundred high-level cultivation methods?" Li Yuan sighed.

Human civilization, from the appearance of the life evolution era until now, nearly two hundred years, has only given birth to seven general high-level cultivation methods.

However, compared to the three high-level cultivation methods eighty years ago.

In this era, the speed of martial artist birth in human civilization has been several times faster.

The number of martial artists has increased, the base has become larger, and more and more powerful martial artists have made the birth speed of high-level cultivation methods faster.

This is a virtuous cycle.

Making human civilization constantly grow stronger.

"The third way to absorb Source Power is Source Power essence pills, which have appeared in the last twenty or thirty years." Xu Bo said: "Essence pills contain strands of Source Power, which can be absorbed once taken."

"It’s just that Source Power is domineering."

"Without the help of high-level cultivation methods to resolve it, absorption will be very difficult." Xu Bo said: "So, ordinary people only need one pill a month."

"Your physical talent is actually the most top-notch kind, it’s just that there is no suitable high-level cultivation method." Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan with regret: "Plus your mental energy is extremely strong, perhaps you can use two pills a month."

"Thank you, Teacher, for your guidance." Li Yuan nodded, and said with great frankness: "There is no high-level cultivation method suitable for me."

"Then in the future, I will strive to create one."

"Haha." Xu Bo smiled when he heard this: "Ambitious, teacher is waiting."

"This 'Star Spear Technique', and this 'Dragon Movement Technique', are in the same line as the 'Rock Cultivation Method', I suggest you change." Xu Bo continued: "These two major secret manuals are both pointing directly to the fifth stage of skills, and they have quite a reputation among martial artists."

"Pointing directly to the fifth stage of skills?" Li Yuan thought.

His own skill level is only at the third stage.

"Teacher, can’t you teach me second-tier secret manuals?" Li Yuan couldn't help but say.

"Me?" Xu Bo was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "I have indeed cultivated many second-tier secret manuals, such as spear techniques, sword techniques, and movement techniques."

"But I can't teach you." Xu Bo shook his head: "Haven't you noticed that I have never guided you to cultivate second-tier secret manuals in the past?"

"Why?" Li Yuan was stunned.

"I only have the right to learn, not the right to teach." Xu Bo said: "The fist techniques, spear techniques, movement techniques, etc., that you are learning now all belong to first-tier secret manuals, suitable for students with first-stage and second-stage skills to learn."

"A large number of first-tier secret manuals and cultivation methods are completely open and free to all citizens."

"But from second-tier secret manuals onwards, they all have copyrights." Xu Bo said: "You must purchase them before you can use them."
