Chapter 682: Unexpected Situation

This was an extremely detailed and complicated task. If it was any other martial artist, it was impossible to complete in a short period of time.

However, with the large amount of experience he had accumulated in modifying cultivation methods and his powerful data ability, Chu Nan easily combined his current situation and further understanding of cultivation methods to complete the first level of the Nine Revolutions Technique.

The modified first level of the Nine Revolutions Technique was not much different from the first center of gravity technique left behind by Su Xuansheng back then. It proved that Su Xuansheng was indeed a martial arts genius back then. The cultivation method he created had such a perfect completion rate that even Chu Nan could not improve it much now.

However, outside the core, Chu Nan made many modifications.

Last year, when he had just obtained the data ability, Chu Nan did not have the ability to open every meridian in his body, including every fine vein. Therefore, he had only slightly changed the circulation of his Internal Breath according to the change in data on the foundation of the first core method.

However, the situation of the meridians in his body was already very different from back then. There were many Internal Breath circulation patterns that he could not complete or even think of before that he could try now. There were many modifications he could make.

Chu Nan wanted to start modifying the first level of the Nine Revolutions Technique from the beginning because he wanted to make corresponding improvements to this cultivation method according to his current special situation. It was not like now where he could only use the meridians in his entire body when cultivating the fifth and sixth levels.

He believed that as long as he finished studying it like this, his understanding of the Nine Revolutions Technique would definitely reach a new level and he would have hope of comprehending the key to breaking through to the seventh level.

However, this was a job that was much more complicated than modifying and improving basic cultivation methods. It had to be tested extremely repeatedly.

Chu Nan used his A.I. brain to quickly calculate. Just testing the first level of the cultivation method coupled with all the Internal Breath circulation routes in his meridians required him to repeat it as many as ten million times.

Even if the speed at which he circulated his Internal Breath throughout his body was shockingly fast every time, it would at most take 0.12 seconds. If he tried everything, it would take more than a million seconds. That was nearly 20,000 minutes or more than 300 hours.

In other words, even if he did not eat or sleep at all, in theory, he would need at least ten days to complete the complete research of the first level of the Nine Revolutions Technique.

After calculating this number, Chu Nan was not surprised. He only smiled bitterly in his mind and shook his head.

“It’s impossible to improve cultivation methods. It’s natural to spend a large amount of time.”

When he thought of this, Chu Nan calmed down and began to test all the possible combinations of meridians in his body with the original cultivation method of the first level of the Nine Revolutions Technique as the foundation.

Before this, he had never even tried this.

Trying it rashly now was actually a very risky action for any martial artist.

This was because letting his Internal Breath circulate freely might very well cause his Internal Breath to lose control and his meridians to be severely damaged.

However, Chu Nan’s current body had already reached the Heaven Control Realm. The toughness of his meridians had even recovered after countless ravages and had probably surpassed ordinary Heaven Control experts.

On the other hand, his Internal Breath was still at the low-level Void Break Realm and was far from being able to satisfy the needs of his body. Naturally, it could not harm his physical meridians.

Therefore, Chu Nan did not have any reservations and allowed his Internal Breath to flow through his meridians according to his thoughts.

If he felt a trace of discomfort, it would prove that this route had failed. He would immediately turn around and try again.

This way, his efficiency was much higher than the test to open all the meridians in his body before breaking through to the fourth level of the Nine Revolutions Technique.

Of course, this still required a large amount of time.

Just as he was immersed in his research, he suddenly felt a strange vibration in his body and immediately woke him up.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Angie Prairie jump up beside him. She rushed to the window of the spaceship and looked out.

A moment later, she turned to look at Chu Nan and frowned.

“We’re in trouble.”

Chu Nan jumped up in surprise and came to the window. He looked out and happened to see dozens of bright pillars of light cutting through the distant sky and intersecting.

Without a doubt, this was definitely the light emitted by the conventional weapon of the space battleship—the particle beam cannon.

From the situation of the dense particle beams intersecting in front of him, two fleets were probably exchanging fire.

Chu Nan only took a glance and immediately understood why Angie Prairie said that there was trouble.

Not far from the battle was the stargate of the Star System near Planet Leppler.

It was very likely that the battle at this time and location was related to the fleet of the Sainz Security Company that had evacuated previously.

“Let’s go see the situation.”

Chu Nan waved at Angie Prairie and turned around to rush towards the main control room.

A moment later, the two of them rushed into the main control room and saw that Dong Fang was currently discussing something with Uncle Mu Luo and a few other people from the Sainz Security Company in front of the virtual screen of the spaceship’s main control.

Hearing the commotion of the two of them entering, Dong Fang turned around and waved at them.

“You came at the right time.” Dong Fang pointed at Uncle Mu Luo and said to the two of them, “In a while, you and Uncle Mu Luo will retreat first and find a chance to pass through the stargate. As long as you pass the stargate, you’ll be safe.”

Chu Nan frowned, “What about you? What’s the situation now?”

Dong Fang sighed, “I really didn’t expect this. Uncle Mueller and the others had just retreated to the vicinity of the stargate and happened to encounter an enemy fleet jumping out. The two sides are fighting now, so you should be able to see it.”

Chu Nan was a little puzzled, “How can there be such a coincidence? Moreover, how did the other party recognize that the fleet led by Uncle Mueller is on our side?”

“This is not difficult.” Dong Fang shook his head, “Now is not the time to discuss this. I have to immediately take a small ship to meet up with Uncle Mueller. You and Miss Angie Prairie will follow my arrangements and retreat with Uncle Mu Luo. Then, we’ll meet at the stargate. These guys shouldn’t dare to jump over the stargate and pursue you. Moreover, they shouldn’t be able to recognize this spaceship. Your chances of escaping are very high.”

Chu Nan frowned, “What about you?”

“Me? Of course I’ll jump to the stargate to meet you after defeating the enemy with Uncle Mueller and the others. Haha…”

“You’re lying.” Chu Nan interrupted Dong Fang in a low voice and turned to ask Uncle Mu Luo, “Uncle Mu Luo, tell me, is the situation very bad?”

Uncle Mu Luo and the surrounding people from the Seres Security Company remained silent and did not answer this question.

However, from their gloomy expressions, it could be seen what the answer to this question was.

Chu Nan turned to look at Dong Fang and raised his eyebrows. He said angrily, “You want us to abandon you and escape? What a joke! Who do you think I am?”
