Chapter 152: The Second Acupoint!
Chapter 152: The Second Acupoint!
After parting ways with Bing Li, Jiang Cheng made his way towards the training hall.
With his spirit energy surging, he could now absorb more primordial force daily. It was time to quickly improve his proficiency in the Crystal Shattering Technique and break through the second, third, and fourth acupoints, advancing to become a Second Rank Primordial Energy Warrior.
As for the pricing of his gun combat classes, Jiang Cheng adopted a "Waiting for the Right Catch" mindset, hoping that interested students would take the bait.
His gun combat skills had reached perfection, and he was more than qualified to charge such a high price.
If someone booked a session, that would be even better.
If no one signed up, he could focus on his cultivation without any regrets.
At the reception desk, Jiang Cheng collected a key and entered a tranquil chamber.
The room was simply furnished, with only a meditation cushion in the center, apart from the walls.
Jiang Cheng sat on the cushion, closed his eyes, and immediately felt the omnipresent primordial force points.
However, he didn't rush to absorb them but instead started circulating his cultivation technique, refining the 200 primordial force points within the first acupoint.
After entering the Crystal Shattering Technique, his refining speed wasn't particularly fast, as he could only refine 8 points per minute.
With his current spirit energy, he could absorb around 4,800 points a day, and at this rate, it would take him 10 hours to refine them all.
If his spirit energy were more abundant, and he could absorb 10,000 points a day, then it would be a loss.
Fortunately, this wasn't a significant problem.
As long as he reached proficiency in the Crystal Shattering Technique, the number of primordial force points he could refine per minute would increase, and he would also save time.
For now, though, he estimated that he would spend the entire day in the tranquil chamber.
Time passed slowly.
Around 9 a.m., the shooting range was bustling with people.
Most of them were Fifth and Sixth Rank Primordial Energy Warriors, and there were even some ordinary people among them.
After all, possessing firearms meant that even with average physical strength, one could have the power to kill Primordial Energy Warriors.
However, today was a little different from usual because many people noticed that there was an additional firearms instructor to choose from.
The instructor charged 2,000 yuan per hour.
This price was indeed not cheap, but they were well-traveled and accustomed to such rates.
What they couldn't accept was that this instructor was merely a First Rank Primordial Energy Warrior.
"Is this a mistake? Who gave this guy the courage to set a price of 1,000 yuan per hour?" a man shouted loudly.
"Yeah, a First Rank Primordial Energy Warrior charging the same as a Seventh Rank expert? What does this mean? Does he think his marksmanship is better than a Seventh Rank expert's?"
"Let me see what this guy's name is. Cang Hai? Come on, why didn't he name himself Universe?"
"What? Cang Hai? This name sounds familiar. Isn't he the new guy who arrived yesterday?"
"The new guy from yesterday? He dares to set a price of 2,000 yuan per hour?"
This revelation shocked everyone even more.
"Look at his introduction."
Someone suggested.
They clicked on his profile picture and found a description below it, which roughly said that he had used a large-caliber handgun to kill five people, one of whom was holding a heavy sniper rifle, and these five people were not ordinary; they were Second and Third Rank Primordial Energy Warriors.
In other words, a First Rank Primordial Energy Warrior had used a handgun to kill five Second and Third Rank Primordial Energy Warriors armed with rifles.
The atmosphere immediately became tense.
After a while, someone looked around and muttered to themselves, or perhaps to others: "This can't be real, right?"
"It shouldn't be. The guild endorsed him, so it's unlikely to be fake."
"Could it be a mistake?"
"Maybe there's a possibility?"
"A phone call will clear things up."
Someone took out their phone and called Bing Li.
The call was quickly connected, and the man's face showed a look of shock. He then hung up the phone and turned to the people around him, saying, "I confirmed with Big Bro Ice Force, and this achievement is real. Although there was help from others, the five gunmen were indeed shot by that newcomer named Cang Hai."
"What?"
Everyone expressed disbelief.
"Anyway, that's the story. That newcomer probably does have some skills, but he thinks he can charge two thousand an hour based on this, which is a bit overconfident."
The man who hung up the phone shrugged.
With such a high price, why didn't he go for guidance from that Seventh Rank big shot?
Even though there's a waiting list and it would take some time.
"Exactly, that kid is dreaming. He really thinks we're all fools, huh?"
"I won't pay for his course."
"Me neither."
"Let's see who the sucker is that spends money on his class."
"He probably won't sell a single one in a month."
Laughter filled the room.
Soon, everyone dispersed, treating the whole thing as a joke.
In the blink of an eye, a day passed.
The next day, Jiang Cheng was still in the tranquil chamber, refining Primordial Energy.
Just as the Crystal Shattering Technique's proficiency increased to one-third, a sudden change occurred.
A large amount of Primordial Energy surged into his body, rushing towards the area near the first acupoint.
Jiang Cheng was initially startled, but then his face lit up with joy.
Was this the impact of the second acupoint?
Just as this thought popped into his mind, he seemed to hear the sound of shattering glass from within his body.
"Crack!"
The second acupoint opened, and in the next instant, it was filled with Primal Energy Points.
Jiang Cheng counted and found that there were a hundred more Primal Energy Points than in the first acupoint.
If his Spirit Energy hadn't increased tenfold, Jiang Cheng might have been excited for a long time, after all, he now had an additional three hundred Primal Energy Points to refine each day.
But at this point, he could only say, "It is what it is."
At this moment, various parts of his body also began to refine the energy automatically, without his control.
This time, the process lasted a little longer than when he opened the first acupoint, but after it ended, Jiang Cheng didn't feel as significant an improvement as before.
"It's probably related to the body's limits."
To give a simple example, in a 100-meter sprint, running it in 14 seconds is already considered very impressive for most people.
To reach the 12-second mark, the effort required would likely be several times more.
And to achieve a 10-second sprint, it's not just a matter of effort anymore.
Constantly breaking the body's limits follows this principle.
In the beginning, absorbing ten thousand Primal Energy Points might double one's strength.
Later on, it might take several tens of thousands of Primal Energy Points to increase strength by half.
And further down the line, it might take hundreds of thousands or even millions of Primal Energy Points to increase strength by a mere tenth.
"This is only the second acupoint; I still need to open the remaining two to reach the standard of a Second Rank Primordial Energy Warrior."
Jiang Cheng glanced at the progress of the Crystal Shattering Technique.
It would still take two to three more days.
Just then, the phone he had placed beside him suddenly lit up, indicating a new message.
Jiang Cheng subconsciously picked up his phone and took a look. He was a bit surprised to find that someone had actually purchased his course!
