Through a period of training in the Golden Tower, Kairuot's internal energy has significantly improved, and his Lightness Skill has made noticeable progress. Now, he can effortlessly use the Lightness Skill to scale the Hundred-Foot Cliff as naturally as eating or sleeping.
However, his Cognitive Ability has not shown any improvement.
Kairuot almost daily insists that the robot beside him test his Cognitive Ability value, which consistently remains at 20, with no change. This leads the robot to mock him, saying, "There's no hope for you! Your Cognitive Ability is just stuck there. A value of 20—your IQ is too low; you should go back to Preschool!"
These words deeply hurt Kairuot's pride. He thinks to himself: "As a tall man, how can I face going back to Preschool?"
In search of a breakthrough, Kairuot begins to wonder: "Is it because my daily training time in the Golden Tower is only half an hour? Is that too short to make enough progress?" Following the Secret Manual on the wall and practicing diligently, he truly does not know when his Cognitive Ability will improve. He even thinks extremely that perhaps the robot is right; if his Cognitive Ability remains at 20... he might really have to go back to Preschool.
The thought is terrifying. Kairuot immediately resolves to break the routine and increase both the intensity and duration of his training starting today!
The training Secret Manual on the Golden Tower clearly states that mastering superior internal skills requires at least 30 years—this is because training is divided into nine stages: first, Qi cultivation; second, blood transformation; third, essence refinement; fourth, pulse activation; fifth, marrow enhancement; sixth, bone solidification; seventh, muscle strengthening; eighth, easy manifestation; ninth, transformation. By cultivating true energy within and opening up all meridians in the body, one can flexibly utilize the Cosmic Wave Energy absorbed from within the Golden Tower. This allows practitioners to naturally generate internal power capable of splitting mountains and stones. Combined with martial arts practice from the Secret Manual, one can achieve invincible power.
The Secret Manual states that when this skill reaches the ninth stage, all body meridians will be fully connected. At this point, the accompanying invisible meridians will also be unobstructed, merging body and form into one complete entity. Thus, even if all physical meridians are closed and cannot function, the invisible meridians can still maintain flow. When this level of mastery is achieved, the sealed Tower Spitze becomes a vacuum state where practitioners do not need to breathe or fear the cold of space. They do not require food or water for energy replenishment; they can freely float and walk in space by absorbing radiation waves from the universe.
The ancestors of Martians created this method of cultivation to alter the carbon-based biological structure of Martians to adapt to survival in the universe.
According to the Secret Manual, there are few who have mastered superior internal skills on Mars. To reach the highest stage, practitioners must possess a robust physique, unique skeletal structure, unobstructed Eight Extraordinary Meridians, and deeply understand the essence of cultivation methods. Additionally, they need a good environment for energy absorption and concentration; any slight misstep could lead them astray into madness. Therefore, many practitioners of superior internal skills have met untimely ends along their journey.
Similarly, achieving super strong Cognitive Ability is no easy task either; training in the Golden Tower also requires over 20 years. Through cosmic rays gathered within the Golden Tower, magnetic oscillations, and Cosmic Waves, continuous new connections are made in brain neural circuits and reorganization of brain function locations. By utilizing internal energy and the acquired Golden Tower Energy comprehensively throughout all nerves in the brain, significant changes occur in electro-physiological functions and metabolism of brain cells. This triggers brain potential and fully unleashes brain functions so that Cognitive Ability can reach a value of 100.
Those who can reach a cognitive ability of 100 have no idle cells in their brains. Their Sixth Sense, extrasensory perception; Seventh Sense, Time Perception; Eighth Sense, Spatial Awareness; and Ninth Sense, Cosmic Awareness are all exceptionally strong.
The Secret Manual repeatedly warns that individuals with Brain Training Ability must not be too hasty, as the brain is different from other parts of the body. If the training exceeds the brain's capacity to bear it, once the brain is damaged, recovery can be very difficult. It may even lead to the death of brain cells, making recovery nearly impossible, which could ultimately result in the death of the Practitioner. Therefore, the Secret Manual stipulates that the Apex Energy Concentration Point should not be directly exposed to the brain for more than half an hour each day.
For a man with a strong sense of pride, facing the warning of death and the humiliation of being called "mentally challenged," Kairuot chose the former—he thought about increasing his training time and extending the exposure to the energy concentration point. As long as he managed it properly, perhaps he could turn danger into victory. The worst outcome would be death... this was certainly better than facing demotion in the future and enduring such humiliation as being called "mentally challenged." With his mind made up, Kairuot decided to give it a try.
