I can gain insights into martial arts.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

After his mental strength increased significantly, Chen Mochuan was able to personally experience many tangible benefits no matter what he did.

First, there's the digestion and absorption of the steelback wild boar meat. With the enhanced perception brought about by his significantly strengthened mental power, he found it easier to activate "Spirit Devouring," and his body's absorption and digestion efficiency of the energy contained in the wild boar meat also became higher.

At the same time, he also learned that "Spirit Devourer" has its limits when it comes to absorbing energy from food supplements. He only managed to finish and digest that half a pound of pork in two separate meals over three days.

Of course, the rewards were also considerable; his Qi and blood were significantly improved, increasing by a full 0.27.

In addition, with the continuous cultivation over the past half week and the assistance of greatly increased mental power regulation, Chen Mochuan's utilization rate of the medicinal power in the Martial Blood Essence Elixir has become much higher, with almost no waste.

His Qi and Blood value has now reached 8.74. At this rate, he should be able to break through 9 within the next week and start preparing for the condensation of acupoints.

The benefits of mental strength are not only reflected in the efficiency of resource absorption, but its advantages permeate all aspects of martial arts cultivation.

His progress in the Mountain-Crushing Fist and Thunder Step techniques was already considered very fast before, and he was often praised by Han Zhen and Lin Hong.

Now he has a better grasp of the details of the moves, corrected the deviations that were not easily noticed before, optimized some of the power connection, and his training progress is even faster.

Moreover, because mental power granted him a more refined ability to control his body, Chen Mochuan's application and understanding of force also began to advance by leaps and bounds.

He constantly faced attacks from both steelback boars and iron-clawed badgers simultaneously in mental martial arts practice, honing his skills through this high-intensity life-or-death struggle. Now, he not only has mastered the use of Ming Jin (manifested strength) to perfection, but he has also become increasingly proficient in An Jin (hidden strength), controlling it at will.

The integration of Ming Jin and An Jin has become smoother, and now "Piercing Stone" can reliably deliver enough power to pierce through the tough flesh of a steelback boar.

Even with the two teachers' patient demonstrations and unreserved guidance, he gained a deeper understanding and appreciation of the concepts of "softness containing strength, strength containing softness" and "the transformation of strength and softness."

We are not far from achieving a complete and dynamic unity of Ming Jin and An Jin, and truly understanding and initially mastering the application of Hua Jin.

Such a rapid pace of progress even impressed the two teachers who had been amazed by Chen Mochuan many times before, who were once again impressed by his amazing talent and became even more dedicated and hardworking in their teaching guidance.

The two even adjusted their own schedules, arriving at school at around 5 a.m. every morning to match Chen Mochuan's schedule and make the most of every minute to provide guidance.

If Chen Mochuan hadn't yet broken through the limits of human "essence" and didn't possess the almost superhuman energy of a martial artist in the "Transcendent" realm, and still needed sufficient rest and sleep to recover, the two of them would have loved to take him directly to the school and provide him with round-the-clock training guidance.

However, this student has a special physique, with extraordinary endurance and physical recovery ability, which the two had already noticed. In addition, he is self-disciplined and hardworking enough that he does not need anyone else to urge him.

Starting this week, however, the other party seemed tireless, and the intensity of his training has increased considerably. This made the two veteran martial artists feel a little uneasy, and they had to urge him to stop training and rest more from time to time, for fear that he would overdo it and damage his body.

Fortunately, out of caution, they carefully examined Chen Mochuan's body twice and confirmed that they had not found any hidden injuries or overexertion problems. On the contrary, his qi and blood were abundant and his foundation was solid, which put their minds at ease.

In the evening, Chen Mochuan had just returned home after a long day of intense training when he received a video call from his mother, Ye Min.

"Son, the project we were on a business trip passed the final round of testing and review this afternoon. The partner company here highly appreciates our work and it's been successfully completed!" As soon as the video call connected, Ye Min, looking slightly tired but excited, couldn't wait to share the good news.

"It wasn't for nothing that your old man toiled away day and night in the lab for so long." Although Chen Qingyang's eyes were a little dark, a genuine smile appeared on his face.

Ye Min smiled and took over the conversation, praising Chen's father with pride, "This big order was successfully completed. As the main person in charge of the project, your dad should receive a generous bonus during the New Year. We'll use that to buy you better cultivation resources!"

After his parents finished sharing their good news, Chen Mochuan finally had a chance to speak. "Mom, didn't I tell you before? I'm getting over 200,000 yuan in scholarships every month now, plus the municipal rewards for killing ferocious beasts. That's enough for my cultivation expenses, and there's even a surplus. You two should use Dad's bonus to pay off the mortgage."

Ye Min smiled and said, "That's because you're capable, son, but your parents can't be left behind. You don't need to worry about the mortgage yet."

Seeing this, Chen Mochuan tactfully changed the subject, "There's only one month left until the New Year, it seems you two can finally take a good rest."

Ye Min nodded, "Yes, this project has been going on for almost two years, and now it's finally come to a successful conclusion. Your dad and I won't have to travel for work for a while... and we can go home tomorrow, the plane tickets are already bought!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Mochuan's heart stirred. He remembered that on Monday, the homeroom teacher, Han Zhen, had announced that there would be a parent-teacher meeting on Friday, and the results of this final exam would also be announced at the meeting.

At the time, he thought his parents were out of town and couldn't come back, so he specifically told Han Zhen about the situation. Han Zhen said that in this special case, he didn't need to attend the parent-teacher meeting and would communicate with them separately. Therefore, in order not to distract his parents from their work, he hadn't told them about this before.

"What time will you be back tomorrow?"

"We should be back in Antu around 2 PM..." Sensing that Chen Mochuan seemed to have something to say, Ye Min pressed, "What's wrong? Son, do you have any special plans for tomorrow?"

"We have a parent-teacher meeting tomorrow at 3 pm."

"Parents' meeting? Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Ye Min frowned subconsciously, but quickly realized that her son was probably worried about affecting their work, and her heart softened.

"I've already informed the teacher. Actually, our family doesn't need to participate... You work so hard, and you've just finished your work and now you have to travel so far. I'm worried that this back-to-back trips will take a toll on your health."

"Hey, what's the big deal!" Chen Qingyang quickly interjected. "I'll go! My physical condition is much better than your mother's. I'm not afraid of any trouble or fatigue. Besides, the timing of the flying car ticket is perfect. I can go straight to school after getting off the flying car and make it in time!"

He knew that his son had made rapid progress in the past few months and had even received individual guidance from teachers Han Zhen and Lin Hong. He figured that when he went to the parent-teacher meeting and heard the teachers praising him, he would feel very proud and honored.

Ye Min shoved Chen Qingyang, who was leaning towards the camera, away and glared at him. "Don't give me that! You're only going to the parent-teacher conference because our son said he got third place this time! Why weren't you this eager before? Besides, I'm always the one who attends our son's parent-teacher conferences. You'd better go back to the company and give your report tomorrow!"

His wife discovered his little scheme, and Mr. Chen chuckled awkwardly before falling silent.

Then Ye Min looked at Chen Mochuan, her tone gentle yet firm: "Son, I missed the last parent-teacher conference because I was too busy with a business trip, you absolutely have to go this time! Even if your business trip isn't over by tomorrow, you'll definitely have to ask for leave to go back and attend... You can't hide it from me from parent-teacher conferences anymore!"
