Comprehend the Handbook

Late at night.

Lin Bai changed into comfortable pajamas after his shower.

In his new villa, he sat at the table, holding a sheepskin scroll in his hand and looking at it with great interest.

This was a handbook from the principal.

Handbooks were actually the practice notes and experiences of people in the martial path.

They were different from the theory courses in school.

Handbooks were more practical.

The things recorded inside were either related to the cultivation method or the use of martial arts techniques.

All in all, it was for the sake of improving oneself.

This was enough to make it extremely precious.

Despite that, not everyone could learn from the records in the books.

This was a compilation of the personal cultivation processes of a martial arts powerhouse.

It would be very difficult to replicate them.

First of all, one had to be as talented as that powerhouse.

In terms of physique, the difference could not be too big.

Otherwise, even if one learned it, the final result would be very different.

Even so, the one in Lin Bai's hands was a little unique.

It was not limited by talent or physique. It was just a very simple cultivation technique...

[How to Maximize the Cultivation Conversion Rate of the Medicinal Pills Taken]

Lin Bai held his chin.

'...Cultivation conversion rate.

'What is it?'

There were many terms that Lin Bai did not understand in the book.

It was probably something that could only be learned at university.

Fortunately, he had a search engine, and the Internet could answer his doubts.

That said, it was not necessarily correct. The best answer could only be found through a large number of comparisons.

However, this made it very difficult to read.

Lin Bai brought over some draft papers.

It took him a long time to copy down all the explanations.

Then, according to the content of the book, he made a second 'creation'.

It was just a combination of the parts he understood and the translated parts. He made a copy of the book.

After doing this, Lin Bai finally understood what was written in the handbook.

It turned out that the cultivation conversion rate was the ratio of medicinal powers of medicinal pills before and after absorption by the human body.

It was recorded in the handbook.

Most people only absorbed 30 to 70% of medicinal power after taking pills.

Those with extremely special physiques could absorb 80%.

For example, Su Zi's Body of Medicines.

Li Bai estimated that she could absorb 90%.

Relatively speaking, the less talented a person was, the lower the absorption rate.

It was just like Lin Bai himself.

Although he had awakened a bug-like contract rebate system, his talent was only at Grade C.

It was not good.

After taking medicine, his cultivation conversion rate was only about 40%.

40%...

When Lin Bai thought about how the Hale and Hearty Pill that gave him a 33-point increase in physique could only produce such a small effect, he felt a pang of pain.

One pill would mean a loss of base value by tens of points.

Would 10 pills not cost him a few hundred points?

What were Lin Bai's attribute values at the moment?

Physique 82, agility 68, vitality 79.

Not a single one was over 100!

How could he accept this?

Fortunately, there was a solution in the book.

Furthermore, it was extremely simple and could allow medicines to display their greatest effects.

According to the expert's description, after consuming a pill, the portion of medicinal power that had not been converted to basic attributes would not dissipate.

In a short period of time, it would be stored in the body in the form of some kind of energy.

As long as one continued to temper one's body during this period and tried one's best to break through, one could take the opportunity to absorb them for the second time.

"It just so happens that I'm about to break through to the next realm..."

Lin Bai thought about it and decided to try it out.

If it was like what was written in the book, then his strength could still be improved.

The mock exam was just around the corner, and the more strength he had, the more confidence he would have.

Only by getting a good ranking would one be able to get the opportunity to join the Elite Special Training Base.

Furthermore, it would be of great help to him in the future, so why not?

Hence, Lin Bai took the book and left the villa.

He went to the training area in the outdoor courtyard and walked back and forth in front of the body-tempering equipment that was specially made for martial artists.

1 set...

2 sets...

3 sets...

Soon, 10 sets of high-intensity training were over. Lin Bai was sweating a lot, and his steps were a little unsteady.

Even so, he had always been hardworking.

In this aspect, he had never given up easily.

Even though his body was in a state of overload, he still did not stop his movements.

The 11th set!

Lin Bai felt a warm current in his stomach.

His eyes lit up. This feeling was exactly the same as when he took the medicine!

"It's indeed useful!"

Lin Bai was encouraged, and he trained even harder.

Half an hour later, he was panting like an ox.

He had broken through!

Mortal Body stage 8!

Lin Bai took a look at his personal interface.

His 3 basic attributes had also increased by 10 points each.

Compared to before, he was much stronger.

The higher the attribute values, the harder it was to increase them.

Lin Bai knew that the opportunity was fleeting, and he had to grasp it firmly.

Continue!

He began to use the equipment to temper his body and entered a state of selflessness.

After another half an hour...

Mortal Body stage 9!

He just had to hold on for another hour…

Mortal Body stage 10!

Lin Bai had reached the peak of the mortal realm.

He did not feel tired, only satisfied.

He could feel the medicinal power's warm current in his body getting lesser and lesser.

Looking determined, he directly aimed for the Martial Artist realm.

...

The next day.

The joint mock exam between the five academies began and was held in the stadium that the First Academy had outsourced.

This was a grand event for Base City.

Almost 80% of the media reporters rushed to the venue to get first-hand news.

The stadium was packed with people.

The students who did not qualify to participate filled the stands and cheered for the seeded participants of their respective academies.

School leaders and even city politicians were also present to cheer on these young talents.

On one side of the gymnasium, there was a huge LCD electronic display screen.

It was broadcasting the situation in real-time.

Not long after, the host's moving voice was heard as he announced the start of the mock exam.

"First, we have the seeded team from the First Academy!

"The representative of the team is Su Zi, Martial Artist stage 4!

After he finished, a group of people appeared at the entrance.

At the very front of the line was a beautiful young girl full of youthful energy.

Instantly, loud cheers came from all directions.

"Goddess!"

"I love you!"

"Go, goddess!!

It was obvious that Su Zi was very popular among high school students in the city.

She was the ideal partner for boys.

It could not be helped as she was unordinary.

Not only was she treasured in the Su family, but she was also beautiful, cute, and had character.

This easily aroused a man's desire to subdue her.

Other people relied on their abilities to gain fans, but Su Zi relied on her looks.

The host continued.

"The Second Academy, please enter! The representative is Fang Wenhong, Martial Artist stage 2!"

This was a handsome boy who received cheers from many girls.

However, it could not be compared to Su Zi's popularity.

"The Third Academy, please enter! The representative is He Yuan, Martial Artist stage 2!"

"The Fourth Academy, please enter! The representative is Qiu yang, Martial Artist stage 1!"

"The Fifth Academy, please enter! The team representative is Lin Bai, Mortal Body stage 7!"

The moment Su Zi heard this name…

She was already warming up in the arena, but she suddenly froze, and there was an unnoticeable change on her face.

'That b*stard...

'As expected, he came!'
