Chapter 8

Snap!

The branch in his hand finally could no longer bear the strain and snapped directly.

And Lin Beichen, as if he had not noticed, continued to practice with the remaining half of the branch.

It was not until the clear pain and fatigue from various parts of his body made him withdraw from this bizarre state.

He panted heavily.

But his eyes were brighter than ever.

"The app on the phone is actually used to replace practice."

He finally understood the function of the app.

The shadow in the app that was identical to himself could substitute for the real him and practice martial arts. Every time the shadow in the app performed, his understanding and mastery of the [Basic Sword Technique Close Combat Three-Combo] deepened.

Its effect even far exceeded his own practice in reality.

In just half an hour, Lin Beichen had completely mastered the [Basic Sword Technique Close Combat Three-Combo], which was known as the pinnacle killing move of basic sword techniques.

The entire process had no bottlenecks.

Such speed and efficiency were far beyond what the three second-year students, Xin Si, Wu Xi, and Wu Xiaofang, who were known as "geniuses once in twenty years," could achieve.

So, am I now a cultivation genius?

"Ha ha, hahahaha..."

Lin Beichen ran his hands from his forehead to the back, styling his thick black hair into a slicked-back look, then placed his hands on his hips and laughed maniacally to the sky.

It turns out that the true face of this phone is actually a cultivation god tool?

This is interesting.

In that case, no matter what cultivation techniques or combat skills I learn, I just need to download the corresponding app on my phone to get stronger while lying down?

One phone in hand, the world is mine?

"Wahahaha!"

The campus echoed with Lin Beichen's night owl-like ghostly laughter.

Several birds roosting for the night were startled awake, flapping their wings and fleeing in panic.

Not good.

Young master is going crazy again.

Wang Zhong, the butler, covered his forehead, his face full of fear, and instinctively stood a bit further away.

"But why does this phone only show the [Basic Sword Technique Close Combat Three-Combo] and not other cultivation techniques?"

After laughing wildly for a while, Lin Beichen supported his right elbow with his left hand, pinched his chin with his right hand, and pondered.

Today in class, the old instructor Ding San

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Stone taught two courses.

Elementary Mystic Qi Condensation Technique.

Basic Sword Technique Close Combat Three-Combo.

Only the latter appeared in the app store on the phone.

Random appearance?

Or...

Is there some other reason?

Lin Beichen was more inclined to the latter.

He thought carefully for a moment and suddenly remembered something.

"When Instructor Ding San Shi explained the [Elementary Mystic Qi Condensation Technique] in the first class, I didn't listen carefully and was studying the phone. In the second class, when he demonstrated the [Basic Sword Technique Close Combat Three-Combo], I still didn't listen carefully, but I did something else..."

At that time, he opened the phone's built-in camera function and recorded a video of Ding San Shi demonstrating the sword technique.

At the time, he just wanted to try recording to see if it could trigger any new functions.

Could it be because of this?

So, when the instructor demonstrates a cultivation technique, if you 'steal' a recording, the content of the technique can be captured into the phone and transformed into a cultivation app by some unknown mysterious power?

"Such a scientific and logical inference must be the truth. Hehe, this body is so handsome, paired with my excellent intelligence, it's a perfect match... Wahahaha!"

Lin Beichen covered his forehead and laughed wildly again.

However, a great man once told us: practice is the only criterion for testing the truth.

So, to be on the safe side, I need to verify it again tomorrow in class.

Record the content of other courses to see if an app can be generated in the app store on the phone.

Within three days, the most pressing matter is to pass the mid-year competition of the Third Junior Academy and successfully stay in school, then develop for a while longer.

This requires strength.

At present, with the [Basic Sword Technique Close Combat Three-Combo] mastered, he should be able to take on any second-level warrior in the school without any problem.

But, this is not enough.

Being invincible among second-level warriors does not guarantee a 100% chance of passing the mid-year competition.

One must be invincible among third-level warriors to do so.

"In this world, combat skills and mystic qi complement each other, just like the relationship between techniques and internal power in the previous Earth. Without sufficient internal power, even the most exquisite techniques have limited power. With strong internal power, without exquisite techniques, the power is also greatly reduced."

"So, I need to find a way to quickly improve my mystic qi level."

Lin Beichen's thoughts became clearer and clearer.

The key to improving his strength is this phone.

Tomorrow in class, I need to sneakily record a cultivation technique app for mystic qi.

Lin Beichen subconsciously took out his phone to check.

Holy crap.

He jumped three feet high.

The battery was down to 15%.

The phone's battery consumption rate was accelerating.

It must be because the [Basic Sword Technique Close Combat Three-Combo] app was running in the background.

A simple fact: the more programs the phone runs, the more power it consumes.

"What to do, what to do, what to do?"

Lin Beichen, who had just laughed wildly to the sky, was now a bit panicked.

Phone app cultivation is indeed powerful.

But without power, everything is nonsense.

But how to charge it?

He still had no clue at all.

At this moment—

"Master? Are you okay, Master?"

Wang Zhong saw Lin Beichen alternating between laughing wildly, being dazed, laughing wildly, and being dazed, and felt that his master might have been too stimulated, causing his brain disease to flare up more frequently. The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was wrong, and he approached with a hesitant step.

Lin Beichen snapped out of his thoughts.

Looking at the triangular face that approached, Lin Beichen's heart stirred, and he asked, "You dog, the Hou family has fallen, and the tree has fallen, scattering the monkeys. The accountants, servants, guards, and slaves have all run away. Why haven't you run away?"

Wang Zhong, upon hearing this, immediately pounded his chest and said with righteous indignation, "Master, what are you saying? My name is Wang Zhong, and I am known for my loyalty. I am a Lin family person in life and a Lin family ghost in death. How can I ignore you in your time of need? That would be worse than an animal."

Lin Beichen was half-believing, half-doubting: "You are really that loyal?"

"Of course, besides, I watched you grow up." Wang Zhong's expression instantly became kind and gentle: "In my heart, you are like my own son. How could I abandon my own son?"

Lin Beichen was suddenly a bit moved.

A strong wind reveals the strength of the grass, and a crisis reveals the loyalty of a minister.

However, the next moment, he suddenly realized.

Huh?

No, that's not right.
