[Liu Wei's blood sample was assessed as Grade B; this sample cannot be collected again.]
[Rewards are being processed, please wait...]
[Reward: Learn martial arts techniques, Bagua Empty Palm and Bagua Mountain-Breaking Strike]
[Current progress of unlocking the Mangekyou Sharingan: 6/24]
[Current progress of unlocking Immortal Body: 25%]
Current total chakra: 23 chakra
Both Bagua Empty Palm and Bagua Mountain Breaker are taijutsu techniques that require using the Byakugan to observe and then unleash chakra from a distance.
Bagua Kongzhang is somewhat similar to striking someone from a distance in martial arts novels, and it is also an attack method that mainly uses acupoints.
The power of the Mountain-Shattering Strike is even more astonishing; it can shatter even small hills.
Of all the system rewards, the one he's most looking forward to is the progress in unlocking the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Once you unlock the Mangekyou Sharingan, you can use unique eye techniques.
For example, Tsukuyomi, Amaterasu, Kamui...
And, Susanoo!
However, overuse of kaleidoscopes seems to pose a risk of blindness.
Increased power means increased risk.
In the future, you must use the Kaleidoscope eye technique sparingly unless it is absolutely necessary.
In addition, Gu Ran also looks forward to unlocking the Immortal Body.
The Immortal Body requires a blood sample of Dragon King caliber to unlock progress.
With the immortal body, he can enter immortal mode at any time and gain greater power.
Since getting together with Su Xiaoqiang, Gu Ran has rarely thought about Ragnarok.
He was simply working hard to cultivate himself, waiting for that day to come.
Regardless of the final outcome, he must have immense power as the foundation for dealing with it.
With too many thoughts swirling in her mind, Gu Ran felt a little sleepy.
I used a lot of chakra today, and repeatedly used the Flying Thunder God Technique to travel back and forth to various places, all of which were long-distance teleportations. I'm quite tired now.
Rubbing his temples, Gu Ran reclined his first-class seat, asked the flight attendant for a blanket and an eye mask, and soon fell asleep.
……
After more than ten hours of travel, Gu Ran arrived in Chicago on the other side of the ocean and boarded the CC1000 train back to Kassel College.
He brought the train conductor, who liked the Backstreet Boys, pirated DVDs, as well as domestic snacks—a gift pack of Weilong spicy strips and a large gift pack of Want Want snacks.
The train conductor was very pleased and specially arranged a private carriage for him, allowing him to rest well.
It didn't really matter which carriage she sat in. Gu Ran had already slept enough on the plane, and now she used her waking hours to enter the dream world of Mount Myōboku, meditate under the waterfall, and increase her spiritual energy.
However, he can't calm his mind and can't enter a meditative state.
So he had no choice but to quit his practice, and asked the train conductor for a bottle of red wine, drinking it while staring blankly out the window.
He rarely drinks and doesn't really like the feeling of being drunk; that sense of being out of control makes him feel insecure.
But now, when I'm feeling down, I feel especially empty if I don't have a drink.
Upon landing in Chicago and turning on his phone, Gu Ran received a series of messages on QQ, all from Liu Miaomiao.
The gist of the question was: what happened between him and Su Xiaoqiang? Why had she been crying with red eyes ever since she came back? Had they argued again?
Gu Ran thought for a moment and replied that they hadn't argued, they just needed time to calm down.
Then Liu Miaomiao said, "Su Xiaoqiang has been calling you a bastard. Did you do something to offend her? Did you fall for another woman in Beijing?"
Gu Ran couldn't answer these questions well, so she could only ask her to take good care of Su Xiaoqiang.
Then he asked Zhang Wanjun to show Su Xiaoqiang some information about the underworld.
For example, he shared the tasks he had done, hoping she would realize the cruelty of the underworld.
Once she has learned enough and has a clear understanding, they can have a proper talk.
However, Gu Ran was worried that her body couldn't handle her constant tantrums.
After thinking for a moment, he took out his laptop, modified his QQ signature, and synced it to his QQ space.
"Be good, eat well, and sleep well."
She must understand what she means.
Sure enough, after a while, Gu Ran noticed that her QQ signature had changed.
"Mind your own business!"
This implies that he's meddling in other people's business, and this "meddling" has multiple layers of meaning.
Gu Ran, with her perfect reading comprehension, naturally understood what she meant.
A while later, she changed her QQ signature again.
"I will be fine."
After seeing this update, Gu Ran immediately clicked into her QQ space, left a comment, and left a footprint.
That's how she understood that he knew.
Soon, his QQ space received another visitor message, this time from Su Xiaoqiang, who even went back to visit his profile.
Su Xiaoqiang is a girl who cares about her image. Every month, she buys a lot of memberships and diamonds of various colors for Tencent. If she wanted to erase visitor records, she could do it.
But she didn't erase it; she wanted him to know.
Gu Ran closed her phone and didn't look at it again.
It seems that for a long time to come, he and she will need to communicate like this.
……
Back at school, Gu Ran transformed into Santa Claus, giving snacks and gifts to his fellow freshmen, Lionheart Club students, and teachers.
Weilong spicy strip gift pack and Want Want snack gift pack.
However, recently the school's discipline seems to have become a bit lax, because he saw students playing live-action CS in broad daylight on campus, using Frigga ammunition, and everyone was carrying long guns and short cannons, starting a gunfight.
The event was organized by the school's equipment department, which seemed to want to test the limits of gunpowder loading in an attempt to create a more powerful firearm.
Gu Ran asked Fingel, the eighth senior brother, in surprise, "How dare they do that? Doesn't the discipline teacher care?"
"Professor Manstein went to China!" Fingel, munching on spicy snacks with his mouth full of chili flavor, suddenly pulled a PPK pistol from his pocket. "Want to hang out with us? It's a rare opportunity!"
"What about the principal? Does he also allow it?"
"Oh, he said that the damaged items should be compensated at their original price, and that they should decide for themselves." Fingel had already joined the fray, leaving Gu Ran standing aside.
Gu Ran didn't want to mess around with them, so she went to find her mentor, Professor Guderian.
Professor Guderian is currently riding high because his two students, one an S-level student and the other an A-level student, have both achieved excellent results.
Moreover, the S-rank one is currently practicing on the river in China, preparing to face the Dragon King!
This is the honor of a hero!
Of course, Lu Mingfei probably had no interest in the honor of being a hero; he only cared about being able to go into the water and play with his senior sister.
Moreover, the waters around Kuimen are extremely cold right now, and there's a cold wave warning. Going into the water every day is an extreme experience for Lu Mingfei, and Nuonuo practically has to kick him into the water.
Lu Mingfei and Gu Ran complained that Nuonuo was only cold because she had a lot of fat on her body!
Gu Ran smiled and asked him, "Where does she have more fat? You could tell that?"
Then Lu Mingfei blushed and didn't reply for a long time, staring at his phone and chuckling to himself all night in the cabin.
Guderian was very enthusiastic about Gu Ran, who often sought him out to discuss his studies.
Last year, Gu Ran gave him a paperweight made of chicken-blood stone, which helped him a lot because he often threw his documents on the table, and the papers would scatter in the wind.
With the paperweight, he picked up documents from the ground much less often.
To thank Gu Ran, Guderian gave him a private lesson, covering the material that hadn't yet been taught in class, highlighting the key points for the exam, and even outlining the direction of the questions—he practically told him the questions themselves.
Seeing that the teacher was taking such good care of him, Gu Ran naturally accepted it with a smile, thinking that he could skip more classes next semester.
Soon, Gu Ran returned to his previous daily routine at Kassel College.
Every morning, he would play basketball with Chu Zihang as a form of morning exercise.
The duel between the two remained undecided.
During this period, Gu Ran learned the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, which allows him to increase his speed by another dimension.
With the added insight of his Sharingan, he was confident he could break through Chu Zihang's defense.
So, that morning, Gu Ran dribbled the ball outside the three-point line, using the "prayer" dribbling technique to fool Chu Zihang. Then, he used Lightning Release Chakra Mode to activate the power within his body, pushing his muscle speed to the limit!
In an instant, he broke through to the basket and completed a powerful one-handed dunk!
The moment the basketball hit the ground, Chu Zihang stood behind him, silent.
Because Gu Ran had won once, Chu Zihang treated him to breakfast. However, he became increasingly silent, his mind preoccupied with how to defend against Gu Ran's breakthrough.
The next day, when Gu Ran faced him again, he didn't win.
Because Chu Zihang found a defensive technique: all he had to do was stand in the middle.
If Gu Ran shoots a three-pointer, he will jump to block the shot after the ball is released. If Gu Ran is going to drive to the basket, he will go back to the basket to protect the rim.
There's only one way to score in basketball, and there's only one basket, so as long as you hold your ground, Gu Ran has no other chances.
This is also why Caesar said basketball was a boring sport.
During the few days back at school, Gu Ran had a falling out with Lee Eun-sook, the younger sister from South Korea.
Gu Ran said before his vacation that he would give Li Enshu a gift when he returned.
I was originally going to pick out a gift with Su Xiaoqiang.
