An hour later, the train arrived at its destination. After alighting, Ding Yun and her family did not immediately leave the train station. Instead, they first contacted the person who had recruited them and informed him of the situation.
The person in charge checked the internal energy within Ding Yun and her father Wen Chang, and after confirming it was genuine, immediately reported it.
The report was escalated all the way up to the county-level supervisor.
And then to the head of the wartime response department.
Naturally, the next step was to arrange a safe temporary residence for Ding Yun and her family, while also taking the dozens of secret manuals submitted by Ding Yun to study and determine their authenticity.
As for going to the coast for support.
That would have to be postponed for now. After all, the importance of the secret manuals far surpassed the importance of these few individuals going to the coast. A few more or fewer people on the coast made little difference, but the secret manuals could improve everyone's strength.
And even increase humanity's chance of victory.
The priorities were clear.
...
At the aptitude research institute's general cultivation method experimental department, responsible for verifying the authenticity and widespread applicability of the martial arts manuals, they prioritized finding personnel knowledgeable in acupoint and meridian theory, thanks to the information provided by Ding Yun and Wen Chang.
These individuals already possessed a certain theoretical foundation, and coupled with Ding Yun's incisive interpretations, they were able to grasp the concepts quickly. From receiving the manuals to getting started, the fastest took only four hours to achieve initial success, while the longest took until the next day. The one that took longer might have been because the initial manual they received conflicted with their own abilities; after switching to a different manual, they were able to begin practicing.
The preliminary verification results were consistent with what Ding Yun and the others had stated.
That is, the martial arts manuals provided by Ding Yun were indeed suitable for most people to cultivate, regardless of whether they possessed any special abilities or what type of abilities they had. Furthermore, if one's existing abilities were highly compatible with a manual, they could even convert the internal energy cultivated into their special abilities, and vice versa.
For instance, the "Spring Returns" internal energy could be easily converted to and from healing abilities.
It also had a beneficial effect on wood-attribute and water-attribute abilities, and others related to vitality, although they could not be freely converted into corresponding abilities.
The only caveat was that if the attribute of one's special ability was clearly in conflict with the attribute of the martial arts manual, it would be very difficult to cultivate successfully. This was why it was stated that "most people can practice," as attribute conflicts created the few who could not.
After obtaining accurate verification results, they naturally continued to report. The relevant news, secret manuals, and experimental data were submitted after several rounds of reporting, and finally reached the Human Provisional Alliance by noon on the third day.
It quickly garnered significant attention.
Following that, they convened an emergency meeting.
After the relevant meeting concluded, the specific applications of the martial arts manuals were finalized, comprising three main points.
First, to publicly announce this news and the secret manuals, and to have professionals produce instructional videos, striving to make them accessible and learnable for the majority of people, thereby enhancing their strength.
However, for the sake of secrecy and to protect Ding Yun, the public announcement simply stated that this was the latest achievement of the aptitude research institute, completely concealing Ding Yun's existence.
Second, to establish a martial arts manual research institute, dispatching professionals to form research teams dedicated to understanding why these martial arts manuals worked. The hope was to unravel their mysteries soon, enabling the creation of original manuals and even the appropriate modification and improvement of existing ones.
This undoubtedly represented a new path of development.
No amount of emphasis on its importance would be excessive.
As for the third point, it was naturally to bring Ding Yun in, protect her, and find ways to cooperate with her to acquire more martial arts manuals.
Of these three points, only the first was completely public. The remaining two were to be conducted in secret.
Even so, the news caused an uproar online.
What???
Let me translate the three question marks.
What the heck are martial arts manuals?
Why isn't it ability training methods being researched, but martial arts manuals? And what's cultivated isn't abilities, but internal energy? What is going on?
Is it okay to just release the manuals publicly?
Spot on!
This is so sudden. I recall the aptitude research institute usually starts hyping up an achievement as soon as there's a hint of progress, right? Their normal modus operandi should be to promote this thing way earlier. Why is it so sudden, with results already out?
I feel like martial arts weren't developed by them.
It's completely unlike their style!
Oh my god, this is so touching. Heaven truly hasn't abandoned us ordinary people. While these martial arts manuals might not be as good as innate abilities that require no learning,
They at least give us ordinary people a chance.
It's not like before where we had no opportunity at all.
Touched! Grateful! Thankful!
I vaguely remember my great-grandfather lamenting on his deathbed why spiritual resurgence only produced abilities, with no hint of martial arts or cultivation.
He truly died with regrets.
He even told us that if martial arts and cultivation techniques ever appeared in the future, to remember to inform him during family worship. I never thought it was possible, but it actually happened. Looking at this, maybe cultivation is possible in the future too!
Martial arts are so ancient. I remember at the beginning of the spiritual resurgence, the country seemed to have attempted to simulate and replicate martial arts manuals like those in novels through ancient scriptures and traditional Chinese martial arts, but it seemed unsuccessful later on. I originally thought they had long abandoned this idea and focused on abilities.
I didn't expect they never gave up.
And they even succeeded.
As someone who awakened the "never-balding" but useless ability, today is definitely the happiest day of my life. I can finally become a master.
Good heavens, I can't tell if people above are being sarcastic or boastful. The "never-balding" ability is practically the dream ability for us balding folks. My awakened "farting-doesn't-stink" ability is the truly useless one!
The foolish are still arguing online, while the smart ones have already gone to the official website to learn the basic courses. Didn't you see the notice? Learning martial arts manuals requires a solid theoretical foundation in acupoints and meridians.
Those who understand nothing are already falling behind.
If you don't hurry up and learn, what are you waiting for?
Traditional Chinese Medicine majors are crying with joy.
Hahaha, I think our country's people have a big advantage here. Although many of us don't have the relevant theoretical knowledge, at least we can understand what the teachers are saying.
Those foreigners must be scrambling now!
Even if you understand and can hear it, it doesn't mean you can learn it. I specifically went to check the basic courses just now, and oh my, it's too unfriendly to poor students.
It feels like listening to heavenly scripture...
Several martial arts that require both dynamic and static movements are too difficult for those of us with poor coordination. I can't even do the exercises in the morning calisthenics properly, let alone these training movements that are more difficult than yoga. This is practically asking for my life!
Some people are too fussy. Without a good family background or sufficient talent, and then unwilling to work hard afterwards, are they expecting pie to fall from the sky? What a dream!
