Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

```

The technique of Lei-fa, a form of visualization, is also a method of combat, known for its formidable attacking power.

Unfortunately, it is inaccessible to ordinary people.

Plus, even if one does come into contact with it, practicing blindly can lead to irreversible consequences.

Just like the twelve-level visualization of the Taoist way, without understanding the Taoist Scriptures, the chance of wasting effort far exceeds the chance of achieving any results.

Moreover, when cultivated to an advanced level, Lei-fa involves the bioelectricity of the human body, which is extremely dangerous.

Therefore, openly, this practice is absolutely prohibited.

Aside from the fear of causing chaos, it is primarily for personal safety, as it can easily lead to shock.

However, once one successfully masters Lei-fa, they become a master, a true person!

Like Zhao Xinglong, who practices Lei-fa, although it is unknown which sect's Lei-fa he cultivates, no sect has produced real electricity-wielding Lei-fa.

Perhaps those people's life force has not yet met the requirements.

At the very least, in Su Jie's opinion, a life force of 20 should be sufficient to cultivate some powerful martial arts, and even allow one to travel with the aid of special techniques.

To exaggerate a bit, it's like riding the clouds and driving the fog!

Patting his head, Su Jie began to visualize the Heaven-Man Crystal Seal Visualization Skill before him, with his left hand pretending to grasp and his right hand pretending to support, adopting the stance of "Before the heavens and earth took shape, in the primal chaos, before life began."

However, for quite a while, Su Jie didn't enter deep sleep.

Although it was very quiet here and there was a geomagnetic field that could promote superficial sleep, Su Jie just couldn't enter deep sleep. He thought it might be because he had just woken up.

In the classroom, only two people had fallen asleep, one of whom was his roommate, Jos.

Su Jie was astounded.

Jos had entered deep sleep?!

Could it be that his own talent was inferior to that of a foreigner?

At this thought, Su Jie suddenly paused, "Indeed, what do I have to be proud of? My learning and understanding of this land are not as good as those of a foreigner."

At that moment, Zhao Xinglong also noticed Su Jie, his voice ringing in Su Jie's ear, "Honestly, someone with as many thoughts as you, it's very hard to achieve tranquility."

"Moreover, according to common sense, you should not easily enter deep sleep, but from the current situation, you have."

"Perhaps, you need a bit of special training."

Su Jie noticed that Zhao Xinglong had not approached him but was sitting at the lectern, meditating with eyes closed, yet seeming to talk to each student, guiding their cultivation.

This mental cultivation is truly marvelous!

"Instructor, how should I train?" Su Jie hastily asked, eager for a swift increase in power.

"This is not part of the training content, so I will not make an exception just for you," Zhao Xinglong said indifferently, "However, in the time to come, I will impart martial skills for you to train your bodies and enhance your life force."

Su Jie was somewhat disappointed. Publication courtesy of M|V|LE-MPYR.

Nonetheless, paying thirty thousand to learn Zhao Xinglong's skills was already a huge advantage.

The morning class ended, and almost everyone spent it meditating.

But there were very few who could enter deep sleep.

Su Jie and Jos left the classroom together, watching the passersby in the corridor and feeling their vitality, Su Jie exclaimed, "Among these people, except for the trainees, there must be regular students of Minglun Martial School, right?"

Jos nodded, "Yes, and the life force of all the regular students is above 1."

The two walked past the training building and arrived at the cafeteria.

This wasn't where they had breakfast but another place; within Minglun Martial School, there was a whole street of cafeterias, each with its own specialty.

After they entered, the cafeteria was already full of people, mostly Minglun Martial School students.

Despite the crowd, it didn't feel congested, especially during the queue; cutting in line simply didn't happen, not even for helping others get food.

This is also part of Minglun Martial School's culture: self-reliance.

You can't get food for someone else.

Clothing, food, shelter, and transportation are basic instincts for survival; if one needs help with these basics, they are not worthy of staying at the martial school.

As for queuing, it's not about who's stronger or weaker; it's first come, first served.

If one wishes to "bully the weak," that's also possible.

One only needs to defeat the rulemakers of Minglun Martial School.

After all, reason ultimately requires the fist to make the final decision; as long as one's fist is stronger than everyone else's, they can do whatever they want.

Unfortunately, Minglun has the strongest fist.

Su Jie and Jos queued up honestly; Su Jie got a meal with three dishes and one soup, one meat and two vegetables, and a bowl of Taiji rice; Jos did the same.

While eating, Su Jie asked, "Jos, can you tell me how you managed to enter deep sleep so quickly? Do you have any tricks?"

Jos replied, "It's simple, you just need some training before you come."

"What training?"

Su Jie was curious, wondering if it was guided by a hypnotist.

His family couldn't afford that.

```

Jos carefully glanced around and whispered, "You may not know what the secret of deep sleep is?"

"What?" Su Jie's curiosity grew. Although he had only met Jos for one day, he had already understood that this black man knew quite a lot.

Jos said, "So-called deep sleep refers to a state where, during sleep, the consciousness sinks to the deepest level, and the body has no perception of the external world."

"Of course, the kind of deep sleep I'm talking about is the most basic level, roughly the first stage."

"You know, aside from visualization, breathing, and coordinating movements, there actually is a crude method to enter it, but this method in the past might have damaged brain cells."

A crude method?

Driven by curiosity, Su Jie dug deeper.

"Have you ever experienced fainting?" asked Jos, with a hint of mystery. "Like being knocked unconscious or having heatstroke."

"Fainting?"

After thinking for a moment, Su Jie said, "No."

He had never suffered from heatstroke. Even under the scorching sun all day, he would not succumb to it.

As for being knocked unconscious...

That was even more out of the question.

Jos said, "In fact, when a person faints, it is a kind of deep sleep, a protective mechanism produced by the brain."

Su Jie, finding it hard to believe, expressed his surprise, "Are you saying that fainting is actually a good thing?"

Jos smiled and said, "But think about it, when a person faints, isn't that the body encountering a problem, and then the body wants to use the various immune systems to repair itself?"

"During this process, the results are best when the body is unaware."

"Deep sleep works on the same principle."

Su Jie started to understand.

When a person faints from heatstroke or a blow, it is actually a protective mechanism of the body. In a passive state, the brain and body enter deep sleep, awakening the body's potential and allowing it to recover its health.

Whereas relying on the act of visualization, coordinated breathing, and movement turns this skill into an active one. Once mastered, it can actively enhance physical fitness, that is, increase vitality.

"However, after a severe illness, when a person wakes up, their vitality doesn't increase; it decreases, right?" Su Jie asked.

"That's because in the past, the nutrition in food wasn't as abundant as it is now," Jos said with a slight smile. "And you have the concept in Chinese medicine that the weak cannot bear tonics."

"But the food today, such as the Tai Chi rice we eat, contains energy that has no side effects. Even if it's not absorbed, it will be forcefully expelled from the body."

Therefore, before coming here, I had been through the cycle of [eating a large quantity of Tai Chi rice and then getting knocked unconscious]."

Hisss—

Su Jie shivered.

This Jos was definitely a tough person!

"Jos, you also understand Chinese medicine?"

"Of course."

When it came to Chinese medicine, Jos showed a complex expression.

Excited but also incredulous.

"Modern medicine focuses on one thing only, and that is to eliminate the cause of the disease from the body, to tackle the very spot that is afflicted."

"But in ancient times, whether in the East or the West, there was only one way."

"That is to rely on the body's own immunity to pull through."

At this point, Jos let out an "Ah" of admiration before continuing, "However, China was much smarter back then, capable of distinguishing the medicinal properties of various herbs. Coupled with methods like massage and acupuncture, they could stimulate the body's essence and enhance its natural immunity, thus increasing the chances of the body pulling through."

"The West was far behind. In more recent times, they still used various religious methods to treat diseases, such as killing witches."

"However, such circumstances also occurred frequently here, like the human blood steamed buns and the like."

Su Jie did not deny it.

China's culture is indeed profound and extensive; traditional Chinese medicine has delved deep into curing diseases, focusing on healing from the root.

However, it is necessary to admit the mistakes and absurdities of history, the chaff, and the inadequacies; otherwise, one will fall into the trap of self-intoxication, which is most dangerous.

At the very least, when compared to historical records, modern medicine has cured far more patients than traditional Chinese medicine has.

In the history of Chinese medicine, there are only a few famous names.

Whereas in modern medicine, even an ordinary pharmacy sells medicinal products that can cure illnesses when ingested.

"Perhaps, this is just what different environments have created: different civilizations," Jos mused. "You managed to develop such unique treatment methods in ancient times, which are truly admirable."

"But on further thought, it is a kind of primitive scientific concept."

"It's just that you use concepts like 'Qi' and 'Yin and Yang' in medicine, forming a different system altogether. Those who don't understand it can't possibly learn it."

"I once wanted to learn it, but I realized that to fully master it, I needed to understand various ancient Chinese texts..."

Su Jie raised an eyebrow: "So?"

Jos did not hide anything, "So, I didn't study it. After all, there are many more choices nowadays, aren't there? Besides, I've finally understood why 'old Chinese doctors' are famous: young people not only lack experience, but they also couldn't possibly have read through that entire pile of books."

Su Jie smiled, but his gaze revealed a trace of sadness: "Yeah, which leads to barely anyone here willing to learn Chinese medicine..."
