Chapter 18: The Third Remnant Imprint

As time passed, more and more students gathered on the playground.

Cheng Han, as the supervisor, stood quietly at the back of the crowd, intentionally or unintentionally glancing to his right, his gaze quickly scanning the figures of dozens of students.

Grade 3, Class 5!

This group of people went to the botanical garden yesterday.

At the same time, Cheng Han's mind was highly concentrated, with a strange light flickering in his eyes.

In just a moment, his mental value decreased by 0.1 point.

Cheng Han exhaled and slightly closed his eyes.

In his mind, the silhouettes of the forty-nine students from Class 5 appeared one by one, with most of the details clearly visible, as if "engraved" in his mind.

The corners of Cheng Han's mouth curled up. "Not bad! Using 'imprints' to remember targets is much more efficient."

The so-called "imprint" is a clever meditation technique.

During a meditation class, Qiu Yuan mentioned that only when the source sense imprint is formally condensed can one master this technique.

Last night, Cheng Han had a sudden idea and tried imprinting, and he succeeded on the first try.

He felt that this should be attributed to the two remnant imprints.

The remnant imprints are even more advanced than the source sense imprints. With two remnant imprints in his mental sea, he has surpassed certain limitations, so naturally mastering imprinting is not difficult.

It took Cheng Han more than ten seconds to "imprint" hundreds of students from seven classes into his mind.

He thought with satisfaction, "Next is to select the boys who fit the characteristics and use the All-Knowing Eye to deduce and find the real mastermind."

*

Before long, all the students in the school gathered, and the grand assembly officially began.

"Dong! Dong!"

The two large drums were struck, producing a loud sound.

All the students felt a surge of energy, and their attention became highly focused.

Cheng Han immediately sensed a slight movement in the two remnant imprints in his mental sea.

He was immediately surprised.

There was no doubt that the drum sound was extraordinary.

Or rather, the large drums were not ordinary objects.

Before this, Cheng Han had always thought that striking the drums was just a ritual, and when the students heard the drum sound, their attention would naturally be drawn to it.

Now it seems that the large drums must possess some kind of extraordinary power. The drum sound can stimulate the students' mental state and make them more focused.

"Dong! Dong!"

The drum sound rang out again.

Cheng Han felt the tremor of the remnant imprints and decisively silently recited, "Analyze the drum sound."

The level of mental value directly relates to the strength of extraordinary power, and the drum sound can make the mind more focused, obviously benefiting the mental value greatly.

Since he encountered it, how could he miss it?

A familiar coolness spread over his head.

The mental value began to decrease linearly.

"Dong!"

A virtual drumbeat sounded in Cheng Han's mind.

The coolness on his scalp rapidly spread to the surroundings, permeating the skin, penetrating the skull, and reaching deep into the brain.

After half a breath, he felt as if his head was immersed in ice water, and his thinking became unprecedentedly clear, without a trace of distraction.

Then, Cheng Han "saw" a strand of deep purple light.

It grew rapidly, instantly transforming into a strange shape, and then emitted a faint purple halo, like a purple light ball.

A piece of information flashed by: "Analyze 'Spirit Realm Remnant Imprint,' proficiency +9, current proficiency is 87/1000, mental value is 5.8/14.5."

Joy filled Cheng Han's heart.

The third remnant imprint!

The upper limit of his mental value increased by a full 0.7 points!

This is by far the largest improvement!

In addition, Cheng Han also had a indescribable sense of fullness.

It's not that his stomach is full.

It's that his soul feels a bit overwhelmed.

He realized that with his current strength, the Sea of Spirit can only accommodate up to three imprints, otherwise it would exceed the mental load.

Only by experiencing a leap in personal strength can he condense more imprints.

Cheng Han lightly touched the purple light ball with his spirit, and a stream of information flashed through his mind: "Spirit Realm Imprint, completeness 2.38%."

From the numerical judgment, the development potential of the new imprint is lower than that of the True Flame Imprint, but much higher than that of the Spirit Control Imprint.

He also understood the effects of the Spirit Realm Imprint.

For the first time, this imprint has the effect of slowly nourishing the soul, and since the soul is closely related to the mental value, it can increase the limit of the mental value.

This is also the most surprising effect.

Just now, it increased the mental value by 0.7 points in an instant because of this.

Secondly, the imprint can enhance the speed of mental value recovery, and at the current level, it can increase by about 20%.

Thirdly, it can also improve concentration, thereby making cultivation more efficient.

In addition to the above effects, the Spirit Realm Imprint also has many interesting minor effects.

In short, it has great uses.

At this time, a powerful voice came from the podium.

"Dear students, I will now demonstrate the 'Nine Elements Strengthening Technique', please watch carefully."

The speaker was a burly middle-aged man, also a retired soldier from the Black Armor Army, one of the two vice principals of the school, named "Yan Dongting".

The so-called "Nine Elements Strengthening Technique" is a set of techniques for strengthening the body.

Under the gaze of thousands of people, Yan Dongting assumed a starting posture and shouted, "Hey!"

Cheng Han blinked his eyes.

In the eyes of others, the vice principal just shouted, but he had a certain understanding of extraordinary power, and immediately judged that this shout had a deterrent effect on the mind.

Cheng Han secretly praised, "He really deserves to be a soldier, even a casual shout contains profound meaning!"

On the podium, Yan Dongting stretched out his arms, bent his legs into a horse stance, leaned back, twisted his waist, and assumed a very strange stretching posture.

He explained at the same time, "The first form, 'Hidden Horse Stance'."

The Nine Elements Strengthening Technique has a total of thirteen forms.

For ordinary people, each form is a test for the body, and the later postures are more difficult and harder to master.

No student in the school can complete a standard set of the Nine Elements Strengthening Technique.

Qiu Yuan once said that starting from the seventh form, the movements of 90% of the students would deviate, and although they looked similar in appearance, they were actually far from correct.

Cheng Han decisively used his imprint to firmly remember this form.

In the past, like everyone else, he only saw it as a method of exercising the body.

But today, he saw something different.

Three minutes later, the demonstration ended.

Yan Dongting said as usual, "Please practice seriously for this physical exercise, and do not take it lightly."

After speaking, he turned and left neatly.

Cheng Han pondered, "The Nine Elements Strengthening Technique seems to be able to activate source energy and slowly temper the body. This is quite a powerful technique and worth studying."

"If I'm not mistaken, if combined with a special seal, the 'Body Tempering Seal' that only soldiers can condense, the effect of cultivation will probably be much better."

"The school regularly holds physical exercises, and retired soldiers publicly demonstrate the Nine Elements Strengthening Technique. The official is really putting in a lot of effort to cultivate talents."

He secretly decided that in addition to accumulating skill proficiency and analyzing the three imprints, he would also set aside some time to practice the Nine Elements Strengthening Technique.

On the podium, another teacher gave the command, "Everyone, start practicing now."

All the students moved in unison.

Cheng Han assumed a standard Hidden Horse Stance, observing other classmates with the corner of his eye, and found that many of them were weak in their movements, obviously just going through the motions. He couldn't help but sigh.

What a group of ignorant fools!
