Chapter 22 Kassel Academy

"First like this, then like this, finally like this..."

Zhang Baiqing taught Chu Zihang how to perform boxing to circulate the "qi and blood" in his body.

Although Chu Zihang has no qi and blood, Zhang Baiqing can transfer it to him, and then use Chu Zihang's body to slowly figure out how the qi and blood circulate.

His body can be said to be a flawless golden body, and has no reference value.

Xia Mi pondered aside: After the flesh and blood reaches its limit, the feeling of expansion appears. Is it because the route of continuing to strengthen the body cannot be taken anymore, so it naturally transforms into a higher level of energy? But how does it transform?

The qi and blood in Zhang Baiqing's body are like a monkey holding a technological black box. He knows how to use it but not how to produce it. He knows the result but not the reason.

It took a month of intermittent work before I finally figured out the connection through Chu Zihang.

A diagram of the human body's veins was drawn in front of the three people.

"The acupuncture points of traditional Chinese medicine have been confirmed, but the meridians are a blur." Xia Mi pointed at the diagram and said, "Where the meridians pass through are muscles, blood vessels, and tendons. The only common point is that the acupuncture points are used as fulcrums to create a meridian map that circulates through hundreds of acupuncture points in the human body."

"If acupuncture points are nodes, then this channel is too random." Chu Zihang looked at Zhang Baiqing: "Besides, his body doesn't even care about acupuncture points and channels."

"When I do boxing, the blood flow in my body is smoother." Zhang Baiqing stood up and performed a set of Bajiquan.

He could feel that the Qi and blood flowed much faster when following the output of the boxing technique.

"That is to say, there is a method, but we have not yet figured it out."

It could also be because boxing is a skill given by the system, Zhang Baiqing thought to himself. But if that was the case, he felt sorry because he could only be a close combat fighter.

"Your body doesn't have tendons and veins. Maybe this is the key to your ability to develop internal strength. Is it possible only after your body reaches its limit?"

But how can a body reach its limit? This is the first time Xia Mi has heard of this in her long life.

The three-person research team declared the study a failure.

However, although the research of the three people failed, Zhang Baiqing's own research will continue. He wants to increase qi and blood, and increase the output of qi and blood.

Circulating the Qi in the Qi meridians is useless, and increasing the output of Qi and blood is also useless.

“It shouldn’t be so tasteless, right?”

In fact, he was a bit greedy. If he didn't try to make the Qi and blood leave the body, just letting the Qi and blood circulate in the body to increase strength would make him stronger than before.

……

When the winter vacation came, Zhang Baiqing and Chu Zihang went home early because they didn't have to take the college entrance examination.

Lu Tianming held a small graduation banquet for his two sons. It was a happy thing that both sons went to study at the Ivy League schools in the United States together.

At night, Su Xiaoyan and her girlfriends got drunk, then wore silk pajamas, held hands and went to the garden to sing like crazy, and when they came back, they lay on the sofa in the living room in all directions. Chu Zihang was not surprised, but it was the first time for Zhang Baiqing to see these beautiful weird aunts go crazy like this, so he covered his eyes and went back to his room to sleep.

Chu Zihang didn't think it was a big deal. He had been played around by this group of weird aunts since he was a child. It wasn't the first time that they occasionally made trouble and went crazy.

He considerately took out a blanket and covered these strange aunts with it, then went back to his room.

Mom has already drunk milk tonight.

He returned to his room and opened his diary. His diary was not in paper files or electronic files, but in his mind.

People's memory is actually unreliable. They can easily forget things. Especially after experiencing the incident of Xia Mi erasing her memory, it becomes even more unreliable.

But paper and electronic files are also unreliable. Xia Mi is gone, people don't remember her, and paper and electronic files don't leave any trace of her.

After thinking it over, he decided that he should just remember it in his head, because Xia Mi said that paper files would definitely be erased, but if your memory is deep enough, you will not forget it as long as your brain is not broken.

So he would open the diary in his mind every day to remind himself not to forget what he had done and not to forget that man.

Because what the man said was right, if even I forget him, then who in the world will remember him?
Only Chu Zihang, who has half of his blood, can prove that he has ever been to this world.

Slowly closing the diary in his mind, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

……

Before the school term at Kassel College started, the two boarded a flight to the United States. After getting off the plane at Chicago International Airport, Zhang Baiqing sniffed the air hard and said, "This is America. The air is not sweet at all."

Chu Zihang looked at him in confusion. How could the air be sweet? There was no chemical gas like vinyl chloride in the air.

"Nothing." Zhang Baiqing saw his puzzled look and remembered that it happened in 2017, but what Sister Sweet Air said came true in Ohio in 2023.

The two followed the admission instructions and went to Chicago Train Station to take the CC1000 express train to Kassel College.

In the Chicago train station, the two were somewhat confused.

"There doesn't seem to be a CC1000 train in the train schedule?"

"A dragon-slaying academy might be a little mysterious, right? Wait a minute."

Before the express train arrived, a beggar spotted them and recognized them as Chinese. He said in fluent Mandarin: "Please be kind, uncles. Give me one dollar to buy a Coke. I'm not a beggar. I'm a college student. I just lost my wallet when I was out."

Zhang Baiqing and Chu Zihang were a little surprised. Are all beggars so stubborn these days? He is bilingual in Chinese and English, and even knows the catchphrases of beggars in their country.

The beggar was tall and sturdy, with a handsome face hidden behind his beard, but he was dirty. The plaid shirt and long pants he wore had not been washed for who knows how long. He looked a bit like a beggar, but also a little different.

"I'm really not a beggar. I still have my student ID." In order to prove that he was not a beggar, the big guy opened the backpack on his back, revealing a thick textbook, and then took out his student ID with an exquisite giant tree pattern.

The student's name was written on the student ID card: Finkel von Frings.

world Tree.

Zhang Baiqing and Chu Zihang looked at each other and took out magnetic card tickets that also had the silver world tree pattern printed on them.

They knew that Kassel College taught Chinese and English, but they didn't expect that Kassel College would also produce beggars! Who could associate this beggar with the dragon-slaying Kassel College?
"So we are classmates, that's great!"

Finkel cheered as if he had found his family.

I have to say that the Chinese language is taught very well at Kassel College. At least Finkel can communicate with them smoothly.

Finkel ate a hamburger and drank a Coke.

"Brother, what grade are you in?"

"Me? Seventh grade."

"Seventh grade?" The two were a little confused. Isn't it a four-year system?

Looking at their puzzled looks, Finkel took the initiative to explain: "Ahem, it's mainly because I was held back three levels."

Zhang Baiqing asked hesitantly, "Is it difficult to graduate from Kassel College?"

He thought of those students who studied in Germany. When they saw the conditions for studying in Germany, they thought, wow, it was too good. They didn’t even have to pay tuition. As a result, the three years they spent studying in Germany were the most unforgettable seven years in their five-year study abroad career…

Finkel said awkwardly: "No, it's no problem for normal students to graduate. I just like the atmosphere of the school."

"Oh."

It turns out he is a science idiot.

Chu Zihang asked: "Senior, when will the CC1000 train arrive? I didn't see it on the station schedule."

"Just wait." Finkel said nonchalantly, "This train has no timetable. The last conductor who knew the timetable died last year. I heard that this train started operating during World War II."

"Is this the only trip?"

"Yes, the school is in the mountains, and there is only this train that can get there. Otherwise, you can only take a helicopter to the college. But don't worry, the bus will come eventually, and those at the bottom of the class will have to wait for the bus."

"Class? Bloodline?"

"Yes, I was also an elite A-level student." When Finkel said this, his face was full of pride and confidence, just like a real A-level student.

"now what?"

"Maybe he was demoted to E-level?" Finkel returned to the useless look of an E-level student.

“Is there a big disparity in treatment between classes?”

"Big, the gap between the highest and the lowest is like the emperor and serfs in the Middle Ages. When I was an A-level student, there would be a train to pick me up as soon as I arrived at the station. I could take the VIP channel and go directly to the academy. Now I can only wait for the train that will arrive at an unknown time."

Zhang Baiqing and Chu Zihang looked at each other. Chu Zihang was A-level. Zhang Baiqing himself didn't know his own level, but he shouldn't be in the same group as E-level, right?

Did Kassel College do something wrong?
Seeing their appearance, Finkel thought that they were also of low rank, so he comforted them by saying that some of them were actually of a lower class than serfs, like mules.
