Ma Ran looked up, his tone calm, "All 512 acupoints have been calculated."
Su Qiangwei heard it clearly this time.
The other members also heard it clearly.
Everyone was dumbfounded, their eyes vacant.
The classroom was silent enough to hear a pin drop.
"Fifty-eight minutes to calculate the position of the first acupoint."
A pleased smile appeared on Ma Ran's face, and he earnestly gave the girl a thumbs-up, "You've outdone yourself again..."
"Very impressive."
This was indeed a sincere comment.
In his eyes, Su Qiangwei was a typical strong-hearted player.
In the encrypted files from the past life, Su Qiangwei spent a full hour using the Black Rock Stele for calculations before determining the location of the first acupoint.
This time, perhaps due to the invisible pressure he brought and her own strong desire to win, she delivered a more outstanding answer sheet.
"..."
Su Qiangwei slightly pursed her red lips, her eyes dim.
She was now gradually getting used to Ma Ran's speaking style, having developed a stronger mental tolerance, no longer getting easily upset to the point of shutting down!
But still...
She didn't believe Ma Ran's words.
Damn!
512 acupoints in one hour, all calculated?
Su Qiangwei felt her intelligence was being insulted, "Really? You didn't mess up, did you?"
Ma Ran glanced at her casually, "I've verified it; there won't be any mistakes."
"Regarding the Black Rock Stele here, if there aren't any special situations, I won't be coming over anymore."
Verification?
Is this even human talk?
Su Qiangwei's composed expression gradually broke down.
Yet Ma Ran suddenly extended a finger, hovering it over the girl's forehead.
"This is the Inner Qi I just cultivated."
"You should be able to feel it, right?"
Su Qiangwei was completely dazed, a warm breeze blowing across her forehead, her hair fluttering, easing her hazy symptoms significantly.
People say that girls confident enough to show their foreheads generally have confidence in their appearance.
Looking at Su Qiangwei's new style now, Ma Ran had to admit, there was indeed some truth to this saying.
Quite cute.
Much easier on the eyes than before.
If only she didn't talk, it would be perfect.
"Inner Qi Release!"
President Huang Weiguo, not far away, had his pupils contract and exclaimed, "This is the mark of the Second Rank of Inner Qi!"
People above thirty are entirely disconnected from the martial arts heritage represented by the Black Rock Stele, unable to cultivate Inner Qi.
However...
Haven't seen pigs run, but haven't eaten pork either?
President Huang Weiguo had all the detailed data from the First to Sixth Rank of the Black Rock Stele Martial Arts System committed to memory.
He was as familiar with the characteristics of each stage as if counting his own family jewels.
Calculating and filling two acupoints reaches the First Rank of Inner Qi.
At this stage, a Black Rock Martial Arts Practitioner will have fuller temples, and their eyes will shine brighter.
Calculating and filling four acupoints means reaching the Second Rank of Inner Qi!
The hallmark of this stage is Inner Qi Release!
Although it has no offensive power, roughly equivalent to the level of an electric fan, it can be used to relieve fatigue, heal hidden injuries, and has very good health and wellness effects.
The current strongest Black Rock Martial Arts Practitioner in China has just reached this level, too!
How many acupoints one calculates is a very personal matter; no one can know if Ma Ran is just bluffing.
But the Second Rank of Inner Qi, this thing is undeniable!
To be honest...
President Huang Weiguo could not understand Ma Ran's speed in cultivating Black Rock Martial Arts.
Calculating, accumulating.
Inner Qi cultivation cannot do without these two modules.
Even if your brainpower is extraordinary, the strongest in history, viewing others as unevolved monkeys, enabling you to skip the calculation stage, you still cannot bypass the accumulation of Inner Qi, right?
This phase requires a lot of time, energy, and nutrients!
Leading by a small step, like Su Qiangwei, can be called a martial arts genius.
How should one evaluate Ma Ran, leading by ten kilometers?
President Huang Weiguo was at a loss for words.
Just as he was starting to doubt his life, Dong Huaiming, who had been silent, emerged, shouting with all his might, "Brother Ran is awesome!"
The words were a bit coarse, lacking elegance, but they were direct and genuine, perfectly fitting his current emotions.
Xiao Ming was a bit ashamed now.
When Ma Ran mentioned the number 512, he instinctively had some doubts!
What does this mean?
It means he betrayed the trust Ma Ran placed in him!
The true friendship and bond among Extraordinary Ones is that no matter how illogical or contrary to common sense your friends' words may be, you must trust them unreservedly!
Meanwhile, Wan Haihao sat beside him, silently watching Ma Ran.
He ran his fingers through his hair and sighed heavily, a complex expression on his face.
His previous judgment turned out to be correct.
This junior, wherever he goes, is like a thorn wrapped in a bag, eventually revealing itself.
He just didn't expect this day to come so quickly.
He also wanted to say something like Dong Huaiming.
But Wan Haihao was relatively older, with a more mature personality, unable to express himself freely and wantonly like a high school student.
While he found himself in a dilemma, President Huang had already come back to his senses.
"I understand."
Old Huang focused intently on Ma Ran, his face flushed, "You must be one of those mentioned in the Black Rock database, possessing a special constitution particularly suited for accumulating Inner Qi!"
Calculating 512 acupoints within an hour...
Everyone took it as a joke from Ma Ran, not taking it seriously at all.
Who here isn't a genius?
Having personally experienced it, the members present understood the difficulty of calculating acupoints better than anyone.
And President Huang Weiguo, who had handled many files of non-volunteer practitioners of Black Rock Martial Arts, knew even more.
The exaggerated amount of calculation at the computing stage, if not for the Black Rock Stele's special effects, helping cultivators to improve their active thinking, would require extending the computing time by at least three times!
Even so, the mental overload during calculations was terrifying enough to make one want to pass out on the spot.
So...
Calculating 512 acupoints in one hour...
Absolutely impossible to be true!
Even so...
Ma Ran still accurately calculated the positions of at least four acupoints!
Furthermore!
All four acupoints were filled by Ma Ran in an extremely short time!
President Huang knew that the progress of Inner Qi cultivation also has a connection with one's constitution.
Some people love to exercise from a young age, receiving adequate nutrition, with strong vitality and abundant stamina.
For these people, running a marathon is like playing, and when cultivating Black Rock Martial Arts, they quickly fill their acupoints with Inner Qi.
Some people, although fast at calculating acupoints, have poor constitutions, and their birth of Inner Qi is extremely slow.
And Ma Ran...
President Huang Weiguo didn't know how to describe his talent anymore.
This young man had no weaknesses in Black Rock Martial Arts cultivation!
"..."
Recovering from almost shutting down, Su Qiangwei finally returned to her senses.
She stared unblinkingly at Ma Ran, looking at him as if seeing an inconceivable existence.
"You..."
What kind of monstrous being are you?!
Genius?
Screw genius!
A real genius is someone like Su Qiangwei!
Spending three hours a day and calculating a total of three acupoints.
Then, with the help of the Black Rock Stele, she cultivated Inner Qi.
She estimated it would take a week to fill two acupoints, reaching the First Rank of Inner Qi!
But someone like Ma Ran...
Usually, Su Qiangwei would use four words to describe.
"Terrifying!"
