【The Ingestion Method】

In the afternoon, the students of the elite class arrived at the Star Martial Dojo upstairs, waiting for their afternoon classes.

"Half price is just so nice..."

Lu Xiaobai patted his belly, still looking as if he hadn't had enough.

Although there were no particularly expensive ingredients in the cafeteria, and it couldn't compare to what he used to eat at home, the sheer quantity made up for it...

With his financial situation, combined with the half-price discount, he had ordered enough food for ten people all by himself...

"Brother Lu, are you sure you're okay?"

Xiao Lei looked worried, his heart still reeling from the shock.

He never expected anyone could eat this much...

"What could go wrong with eating a little more?"

Lu Xiaobai said without a care in the world.

"..."

Lin Xue'er was equally shocked and said slowly:

"But the problem is, all that food contains Star Energy matter, and it's a huge, mixed pile. Can your body really handle it?"

They weren't worried about the food bursting his stomach, but rather that the Star Energy matter was too chaotic and overwhelming. Even a Star Martial Artist's body might not be able to absorb it all.

This was why wealthy families would hire specialized nutritionists to create dietary plans.

A Star Martial Artist's meals needed to be carefully balanced, not just blindly gorged upon, otherwise it would have the opposite effect.

But Lu Xiaobai's eating behavior just now was like throwing everything into a chaotic stew...

"It's fine."

Lu Xiaobai shook his head, looking completely indifferent.

For others, those Star Energy foods needed to be absorbed slowly, but to him, they were no different from ordinary white rice, providing absolutely no enhancement...

"..."

Lin Xue'er and her brother exchanged a glance, finding it a bit hard to understand.

"It's a pity my stomach can't fit any more, otherwise I could have eaten a bit more."

Lu Xiaobai patted his stomach, a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

After all, at this rate, when would he ever absorb enough nutrients to awaken his constitution...

"If only I could learn the Shi family's Devouring Method..."

He thought of the Shi family's Special Skill, the Devouring Method. That thing was specifically designed to aid digestion. It was said that a member of the Shi family could eat a hundred times the amount of food as a Star Martial Artist of the same level.

If he could learn it, the awakening process of his constitution might speed up significantly...

But he was just thinking about it. The Shi family was also one of the top factions, and their Devouring Method would never be taught to outsiders, just like his Lu family's Fake Injury.

Right at this moment, the class bell rang.

The resting crowd stood up one after another and began to perform a set of movements similar to calisthenics.

"Huh?"

Lu Xiaobai paused slightly and asked:

"Xiao Lei, what are they doing?"

"These are movements taught to us by Teacher Wei. They help with digestion and also serve as a quick warm-up to get into the zone."

"Oh? Is it a Star Skill?"

Lu Xiaobai's expression shifted, a flash of surprise in his eyes.

Wouldn't that be similar to the Shi family's Devouring Method?

However, Xiao Lei shook his head and said:

"It's not a Star Skill or a Special Skill, just a set of ordinary movements."

Hearing this, Lu Xiaobai instantly lost most of his interest.

Because of his golden finger, he could easily upgrade Star Skills and Special Skills, but if it was just an ordinary set of movements, it would be of no use to him.

Seeing his expression, Xiao Lei smiled and said:

"Brother Lu, you should try it. The effects are actually quite good."

Lu Xiaobai nodded and decided to give it a try.

He didn't have high expectations at first, but as he performed the movements, his stomach instantly felt warm, and the food inside began to digest at an accelerated rate.

"The Know-it-all really has some tricks up his sleeve!"

He was shaken inwardly, feeling somewhat surprised.

If he guessed correctly, this set of movements was created by Wei Wenshi by borrowing concepts from a certain Star Skill.

Soon, as the set of movements was completed, he completely digested the food in his stomach, and his body was subsequently filled with vitality.

The others experienced the same. They didn't stop to rest, but autonomously began their training.

Some started physical training, specifically targeting their strength, speed, or reflexes.

Others began to practice basic Star Skills, such as fist techniques, palm techniques, or sword and saber arts...

Lu Xiaobai stood still alone, which made him look somewhat out of place.

"Is everyone really this proactive?"

He raised an eyebrow, momentarily unsure of what he should be doing...

Just then, Wei Wenshi entered the Star Martial Dojo.

He glanced at the crowd training hard and nodded in satisfaction. Then, his gaze shifted slightly, looking at Lu Xiaobai not far away.

"Xiaobai, I've already prepared your training plan and sent it to your chip terminal!"

Wei Wenshi walked up to him and said with a smile.

Lu Xiaobai paused slightly and tapped open his smart chip watch. Sure enough, he saw a detailed physical training plan.

This wasn't special treatment for him; everyone in the elite class had a tailor-made training plan.

However, looking at the training regimen on the screen, he frowned slightly.

Wei Wenshi raised an eyebrow and asked:

"What is it? Is there a problem?"

"Uh... a little bit."

Lu Xiaobai nodded and said:

"Teacher Wei, actually, I'm not in too much of a hurry to raise my Vitality Level right now."

"Not in a hurry?"

Wei Wenshi looked at him weirdly and said:

"Xiaobai, although you have a max-level Body Tempering Method and can get a perfect score in that subject, your Vitality Level is currently too low. Your overall score in the Star Exam won't be very high."

"Unless you don't want to take the Star Exam and plan to get a direct admission based solely on your max-level Body Tempering Method!"

Speaking of this, Wei Wenshi seemed worried that the boy might actually do that, so he quickly added:

"But as a teacher, I have an obligation to remind you. Although you could get direct admission to a first-tier academy, you won't be able to get into the absolute top-tier ones among them. So I suggest you still take the Star Exam. If it really doesn't work out, you can always fall back on direct admission later."

There were too many first-tier academies in the human star domain. Even though they were all considered first-tier, there were still gaps between them, and those gaps weren't small...

Seeing the teacher being so serious, Lu Xiaobai knew it was for his own good. But he really didn't need to do any physical training, so he could only explain:

"Teacher, I don't want direct admission. I'm just confident that I can raise my Vitality Level to 9.9 before the Star Exam arrives!"

"Blind confidence!"

Wei Wenshi chuckled and said:

"I know the effects of a max-level Body Tempering Method are insane, but raising your Vitality Level gets harder the further you go. I've already calculated it for you. It would be quite impressive if you could reach level 9 before the Star Exam."

"What if I add the Lu Clan Body Tempering Method to the mix?"

Hearing this, Wei Wenshi paused for a moment before laughing:

"I admit, the Lu Clan Body Tempering Method is one of humanity's top-tier body tempering Star Skills. But if it's only at level one, the effect is actually..."

"Teacher, my Lu Clan Body Tempering Method is at level four."

"If it's level four... Wait, how much!?"
