Chapter 6

Feeling the surging power within his body, Qin Peng couldn't help but reveal an excited smile on his face. He looked up at the clock hanging on the wall; it was still early. Having broken through to the realm of Controlling Qi, Qin Peng found himself with nothing to do for a moment.

"Perhaps I should try out the optical brain my master gave me and see what it has to offer!"

Qin Peng muttered to himself and began to control the optical brain in his mind. In fact, although the human government had developed optical brains, this kind of device, which could be directly embedded in the human brain and synchronized with human thought, was extremely rare, with a much higher cost and more advanced technology. It was estimated that the entire human government would not have more than a hundred of them.

Upon entering the optical brain, Qin Peng immediately felt an overwhelming amount of information, with streams of data constantly flipping through his mind.

Soon, Qin Peng discovered many secrets that should be considered human secrets.

Currently, textbooks have a unified explanation: the reason humans entered the Great Space Age was due to a major technological revolution that humans initiated in the 1950s of the 21st century, which was the fourth technological revolution of humanity. Because of the fourth technological revolution, technology flourished, and humans thus embarked on the Great Space Age.

However, the reality in his mind was not like this.

Ancient human technology!

Yes, ancient technology. In the 1950s, the human government accidentally discovered the secret of the pyramids. In fact, as early as the late 1930s, the Frenchman Bovis visited the Great Pyramid of Giza in ancient Egypt and found a trash can in the "King's Chamber" at one-third the height of the pyramid. Despite the high temperature in the "King's Chamber," the organic matter, such as the corpses of small animals like cats and dogs, did not decay but instead dehydrated and mummified.

Afterward, many people conducted further experiments, proving that the pyramid at this position could preserve food, razor blades, and many other things. Thus, people estimated that there was a kind of energy within the pyramid structure, which gathered microwaves from all directions, resonating and amplifying them, forming "pyramid energy."

This secret was finally revealed in the 1950s of the 21st century. Humans discovered the secret within the pyramids, the mysterious 'Rune Technology,' a technology that uses runes to form special effects. However, this technology remained highly mysterious, and humans had not yet mastered much of it. The most important point was the spatial jump technology, a highly magical rune that marked the entry of humans into the Great Space Age.

In addition to rune technology, there were also a large number of modern-like technologies, far surpassing the technology of the 21st century, which humans had also utilized effectively.

However, humans had not yet fully deciphered rune technology. Although they could use runes to form spatial jump technology, the human government only knew the results but not the reasons.

Afterward, humans discovered various technologies in one relic after another, including the Mayan civilization, the Atlantean civilization, and various prehistoric civilizations. This led to the fourth technological revolution of humanity.

This technological revolution ultimately led to the near outbreak of the Third World War. However, if humans with new technology were to engage in war, it would lead to the destruction of the entire Earth. Eventually, the world's major powers, which had mastered a large amount of new technology, reached a final agreement. The government spent twenty years establishing a unified world government.

With the world government unified, humans immediately began their path of external expansion, entering the Great Space Age. By now, humans had undergone tremendous changes.

After a brief browse, Qin Peng's thoughts shifted, and he prepared to search for rune technology in the optical brain. With Yun Duankong's authority, he definitely knew about rune technology. However, as soon as this thought arose, Qin Peng discovered that he could not browse it.

Insufficient mental power, unable to activate!

The cold voice of the optical brain brought Qin Peng back to his senses. He then put aside the rune technology, thinking that even if he saw it now, he probably wouldn't be able to master it. These things were of no use to him, at least not currently.

"I forgot, if I have reached the realm of Controlling Qi, then I should be able to learn martial arts, right!" Qin Peng retracted his thoughts about peeking at rune technology and turned to something more practical for him.

Martial arts!

This was the result of humans integrating various ancient martial arts from Earth. After more precise data analysis and systematic organization, the current widely spread martial arts were born.

With a thought, Qin Peng immediately gave the optical brain a command: "Optical brain, immediately search for the martial arts that are currently most suitable for me!"

He hesitated for a moment but did not choose the martial arts of the Celestial Martial God.

Although the martial arts of the Celestial Martial God were profound, they were also easily recognizable. Moreover, at the beginning of human cultivation, the paths were largely the same. Starting to practice the martial arts of the Celestial Martial God so early was not an urgent matter for Qin Peng.

Flash!

In an instant, a set of martial arts appeared in Qin Peng's mind.

The Four Styles of the Battle Dragon, divided into Dragon Capture, Dragon Trap, Dragon Lock, and Dragon Slash. In addition to the four attack techniques, there was also a movement technique called Dragon Glide.

Subsequently, information about the Four Styles of the Battle Dragon appeared in his mind.

Just a slight feeling, and Qin Peng couldn't help but open his eyes in surprise, issuing a command to the optical brain with some disbelief: "Optical brain, is this really the most suitable martial art for me?"

The optical brain responded with a mechanical voice: "Based on data analysis, this is currently the most suitable martial art for the master!"

"Damn!" Qin Peng couldn't help but exclaim.

He naturally knew about the Four Styles of the Battle Dragon. This set of martial arts had been recorded by the Elite Academy and was provided free of charge to students. However, from the time the academy was established to the present, the number of people who had successfully learned it did not exceed a hundred.

Although there were only four styles, this set of martial arts was extremely intricate and complex, with subtle changes that were difficult to grasp. Most people who practiced it only had the form, learning only a superficial framework.

Such a complex martial art is suitable for me?

Qin Peng felt somewhat incredulous, but since it was the judgment of the optical brain, there must be a reason.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Peng immersed himself in the information transmitted by the optical brain. In his mental space, a figure appeared, flashing and dodging, continuously practicing the Four Styles of the Battle Dragon.

At the same time, a soft voice echoed in Qin Peng's mind, explaining the various secrets and techniques of the martial art.

Qin Peng had once seen a virtual demonstration of this martial art on the school computer, but the explanations were very basic, leaving one with a vague understanding. However, the explanations from the optical brain were a hundred times more detailed, including not only detailed explanations of the techniques but also possible scenarios in combat.

When I am weak and the enemy is strong, when we are equal, and when the enemy is weak and I am strong!

Various scenarios and their corresponding responses.

Qin Peng knew that this was probably due to the authority level. In this era, accessing the internet also required authority, and different authority levels provided different search results. With the authority of Yun Duankong's biological optical brain, the search results were definitely different from those of ordinary people.

The figure appeared again and again, and Qin Peng's heart beat strongly. Gradually, he felt that the figure's movements were being broken down, each action dissected in detail. Every subtle change, every breath, he understood clearly.

He had a strange feeling that he had already learned the Four Styles of the Battle Dragon.

"How is this possible? I learned such a complex martial art in just one night?"

Although Qin Peng had never doubted his talent, he didn't think his comprehension was so outstanding that he could learn everything in just a short time. However, the feeling was so strange, as if he had indeed learned it.

Let's try it out!

Qin Peng suddenly opened his eyes, wanting to test his martial arts, but as soon as he opened his eyes, he felt something was wrong.

It was already morning!

Had he been watching all night?

Looking at the time, Qin Peng jumped out of bed, feeling a warm force in his lower abdomen and a pleasant sensation in his bones and muscles.

"Last night, I spent the whole night pondering the Four Styles of the Battle Dragon, and I don't feel the slightest bit tired. My mind still feels very energetic. This is truly incredible. In the past, I would have been drowsy and without any energy by now!"

Qin Peng rubbed his temples in disbelief, muttering to himself, "Could it be that the strength of my body has also made my energy more vigorous, or is it because of the essence my master implanted in my body? This level of mental exertion no longer makes me feel tired?"

Leaving the room, Qin Peng found the living room still empty; his parents had already gone to work.

He sighed inwardly. Since he started school, he rarely saw his parents. When he woke up, they had already gone to work, and when he went to sleep, they would just be coming home. Although human physical fitness had undergone a tremendous transformation over the past two hundred years, and the risk of sudden death from overwork was almost non-existent, deep down, Qin Peng still longed to live with his parents.

Wait for me! Dad! Mom!

Qin Peng clenched his fists tightly: "Son, I will not let you continue to work so hard!"
