Your skills are excellent, and now I have them too.

Chapter 17: Learning 10 special skills equals 900 talent points

Master math, physics, and chemistry, and you'll be able to go anywhere in the world without fear.

How come it applies to the Qin Dynasty too?

Lu Zhao was shocked to discover that practicing martial arts actually requires a certain level of mathematical ability.

To forge a star vertebra with internal energy, one must connect with numerous nearby meridians, fill acupoints, and trigger responses. The amount used in each step must be calculated based on individual constitution, cultivation method, and progress to achieve the best results.

Zhou Changsheng spent two hours just explaining the basic principles. After he finished, he said, "Let me test you. If we want to train the Taixu Jing and Yangzhui points on the legs, we choose the Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian as the main meridian, with the amplification coefficients of Sanyinjiao and Lougu being 1.2, the correction coefficient of Diji being 3.1, and Yinlingquan not participating. In the end, how many times should the energy distributed to other meridians be compared to the initial baseline?"

Chen Qinhu: ?

Lu Zhao: "..."

Zhou Changsheng smiled slightly. The two people's reactions were obviously within his expectations. After all, this was their first contact, so it would be strange if they could have predicted it.

"It's normal to feel dizzy when you first start learning; I felt the same way back then, especially since I'm not good at math. But these things are all about practice makes perfect. Anyway, just memorize it, study it more, do more calculations, and most of the time it will just come naturally..."

"0.15 times," Lu Zhao suddenly said.

Zhou Changsheng shut his mouth, as if he couldn't understand what he was saying.

"The answer is 0.15 times," Lu Zhao said.

Zhou Changsheng frowned, counting on his fingers for a moment, and then said, "Huh? It really is."

So you didn't know after all that!

Lu Zhao was convinced.

"Haha, I just casually mentioned the conditions, I didn't expect you to actually be able to calculate it, you're quite good at studying." Zhou Changsheng sincerely praised.

No, I just have a quick mind.

Lu Zhao felt a lot of pressure learning this, after all, it was a new knowledge system plus not-so-simple calculations.

Fortunately, he had a special skill he had just acquired, which was a profound secret that others had comprehended from martial arts cultivation!

At that moment, he finally understood why learning martial arts could produce a large number of engineers.

Beside him, Chen Qinhu's eyes gleamed with pure admiration.

He couldn't even understand the question.

I did learn about what "foot" and "yang" just now, but I kept forgetting it as I learned it.

Zhou Changsheng reached out and placed his hand on Lu Zhao's calf.

"Now that you've figured it out, I'll simulate it for you. In a moment, you'll feel a cool current moving under your skin. Don't panic. Try to guide it with your mind, following the coefficients and routes I just mentioned."

Lu Zhao nodded in agreement, and then he indeed felt a ball of air, about the size of a billiard ball, appear near his ankle on his calf.

He stared at the projected meridian pathways, trying to use his mind to guide the energy that Zhou Changsheng had transferred into his meridians, guiding it upwards along the Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian, passing through the area of ​​the Taixu Well Yang Vertebra.

"good."

Zhou Changsheng was visibly pleased. No teacher dislikes a student who studies well. "Remember this feeling. When you learn the martial arts manual, you will be able to guide the energy you have cultivated yourself."

After saying that, he looked at Chen Qinhu and said, "Why don't you give it a try?"

"No, no, no, no."

Chen Qinhu shook his hands like a rattle drum, "I didn't understand anything, Teacher Zhou, I'm not smart enough."

A blush rose on his angular face as he felt ashamed of his slowness.

"It's okay, I'm just letting you experience the feeling." Zhou Changsheng still placed his hand on his calf.

This simulation may seem simple, but it is not.

Because neither student had studied martial arts manuals, they were unable to guide external energy.

The reason they can simulate this is that as long as they try to guide it, the meridians will produce an extremely subtle tremor, just like how contracting the anus can cause the sphincter muscles to contract.

Zhou Changsheng possessed exceptional strength and keen perception, allowing him to clearly detect these subtle tremors and thus determine, theoretically, where the energy he channeled should go.

He channeled his energy into Chen Qinhu's meridians and began to carefully feel it, his fingers constantly moving along Chen's calf towards his knee.

But his expression grew increasingly strange, until finally, as he released his grip, looked up, and asked, "You really didn't understand?"

Chen Qinhu thought he had done something wrong and quickly explained, "I'm sorry! I really didn't know how; I was just guiding him by feeling. I won't do it again next time."

Zhou Changsheng shook his head and pressed down on his shoulder, looking at Lu Zhao: "This is called talent... He didn't understand, but he can achieve the same level as you just by relying on his intuition."

After saying that, Zhou Changsheng regretted it a little: Was it a bit too hurtful to say that?

Then he added, "Of course, you are also very good. Hard work, intelligence, and talent are all great help in martial arts training."

However, he was overthinking it. Lu Zhao was not discouraged by the difference in talent; on the contrary, he was very happy.

"I just copied the 'Quick Thinking' skill, and I'm already on par with someone with a 90-point talent. If I copy 10 more special skills in the engineering area, wouldn't that be equivalent to a 900-point talent?"

Regardless, seeing his two "disciples" learn so quickly, Zhou Changsheng was very happy and had long forgotten his indifferent attitude on the first day.

"Xiao Chen won't be coming tomorrow, so here's a small gift for you before he leaves."

He pulled a spring-loaded dagger from his pocket. The handle was black and the surface was covered with dark scales. He popped open the latch, revealing a sharp blade.

It looked like a slightly more refined dagger, but the next moment, without Zhou Changsheng making any move, a hum was heard and a crimson-gold blade of light extended from the dagger's edge, reaching a length of about one meter.

"Light-shooting knife!"

Chen Qinhu's gaze was immediately fixed on it.

Ordinary students may not understand martial arts, but they do study equipment. Just like how some people become military enthusiasts even if they don't join the army, especially weapons with amazing special effects like the beam saber.

"Teacher Chen, this is too expensive, I can't accept it."

Despite being very tempted, he still refused. Even the basic model of this thing would easily cost tens of thousands of yuan, which was indeed a bit too expensive for his family's financial situation.

Zhou Changsheng simply tossed it to him: "It's only slightly better than the standard weapons issued to ordinary soldiers, and it's secondhand, so it's nothing special."

Although Chen Qinhu caught it, he was a little at a loss and subconsciously looked to the side.

Lu Zhao didn't hold back: "Where's mine? Where's mine? Why are you only giving it to him and not giving me any?"

Zhou Changsheng said irritably, "His talent is 90 points, what about yours?"

Lu Zhao, hands on hips: "I'm 61!"

"61, what are you so smug about...?"

Zhou Changsheng felt that he could never predict this kid's reaction, but to be fair, 61 was still above the level of most ordinary people.

He couldn't help but feel that this student had a really good attitude. Others might be jealous, feel inferior, or fawn over someone who scored 90, but his attitude remained consistent, which was quite rare.

However, Lu Zhao only had a vague idea in his mind.

Let alone 90 points, even if it's 100 points, can the special effects be replicated infinitely?

In short, he kept pestering him relentlessly.

"You're definitely all set, just waiting for the last day to give it to me. But I don't think we need to go through with this formality. The sooner you give it to me, the sooner I can enjoy it. Look, if you don't give it to me, Tiger will feel embarrassed to accept it."

Zhou Changsheng was given a headache by his nagging, but was persuaded by the last sentence, and took out another similar but white beam saber.

"Take it, take it. Go home, it's time to get off work today."

Lu Zhao took the item with a broad smile, examined it for a while, and then suddenly became wary.

"Why aren't you demonstrating? Are you trying to fool me with a fake?"

"roll!!!"

Zhou Changsheng made a gesture as if to kick.

Lu Zhao and Chen Qinhu fled together.
