Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 2 The Book of Immeasurable Merits

The surrounding students quickly gathered around, some offering clothes, others expressing concern for the girl.

Cheers erupted from the many students watching the spectacle on the bridge and the riverbank, with many clapping and whistling.

Clearly, everyone greatly admired Gao Wu's righteous act and expressed their praise in various ways.

Several blushing girls crowded around Gao Wu, chattering incessantly.

Some boys also came over to try and get close to them, saying flattering things.

Gao Wu politely responded with a few words, but his main attention was still on the Book of Immeasurable Merit that no one else could see.

As the crowd warmly welcomed them, the merits continued to increase.

He sighed inwardly, realizing that saving someone in public was indeed the best way to accumulate merit, but unfortunately, such things were rare and hard to come by.

Roughly calculated, this rescue earned him at least 500 merits, bringing his total merits to over 10,000, enough to upgrade the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra.

When he was fourteen, a strange beast broke into the town and wreaked havoc, destroying the entire town. He was seriously injured, but fortunately he was rescued and survived.

The threat of death awakened him to his past life, and the sect's secret manual from his previous life, the "Book of Immeasurable Merit," also surfaced.

In my previous life, technology was advanced, but I didn't possess any extraordinary powers.

Buddhism and Taoism at most offer spiritual solace. Unexpectedly, the "Book of Immeasurable Merit" left by his teacher turned out to be a truly divine object, granting him a new life in this parallel universe.

This world possesses extraordinary source power, which is why the Book of Immeasurable Merit reveals its true nature.

Others cannot see the "Book of Immeasurable Merits," and it is not convenient to study the supernatural powers and transformations in this book here.

With a thought, Gao Wu caused the ancient book that had appeared to vanish without a trace.

The skinny Shen Yue struggled to push his way through the crowd to Gao Wu's side, where he gave a thumbs-up and sincerely praised, "Awesome!"

Gao Wu looked at Shen Yue's tightly gripped phone and asked in a low voice, "Did you capture any footage of your heroic rescue?"

Shen Yue didn't say anything; he just smiled smugly and reservedly.

Are you kidding me? He may not be good at martial arts, but as a Kuaishou (a Chinese short video platform) host, he's a semi-professional at making videos!

Gao Wu was relieved. With Shen Yue's help, he could add music, edit the video, and publish it on online platforms, which should also earn him some merit.

As for videos taken by others, that's hard to say. Someone might use those videos to smear him.

Human nature is complex, especially among young people, who often act based more on likes and dislikes than on self-interest, making them even more difficult to predict.

The girl was taken to the infirmary by a group of people. Gao Wu asked Shen Yue to go with her to check on her condition, while he returned to his dormitory alone.

As a member of the martial arts team, even as a substitute, Gao Wu had a single room on the top floor of the men's dormitory.

The dormitory room, with one bedroom, one living room, and one bathroom, is over 20 square meters, which is quite spacious for one person. The bathroom is also equipped with a water heater and a washing machine, which is very convenient.

Gao Wu took a hot shower, changed into clean clothes, threw his soaking wet clothes into the washing machine, and finished his chores before lazily lying on his single bed.

The rescue had only taken a few minutes, but it had exhausted him greatly. Once the excitement wore off, Gao Wu felt deeply tired.

I took out my phone and saw that many people on the local channel of Kuaiyin had already posted short videos of him saving people.

Opening the comments section, most of the comments are praise, but there are also some discordant criticisms and questions.

For example, why were his actions so rough when rescuing the woman, and why was the intimate physical contact so inappropriate? Or, one might suspect that he and the woman he rescued had some illicit relationship.

Fortunately, most people are kind; such questioning and criticism will only be met with ridicule and insults.

Gao Wu liked several of the most offensive and offensive comments. He had worked so hard to save people, yet some people suspected him of faking it. He really wanted to punch their heads off!
Gao Wu listened to the particularly pleasing comments several times before finally turning off the fast-paced audio, completely satisfied.

When Gao Wu reopened the Book of Boundless Merit, the blank page was still filled with the text "Merit +1", and the total number of merits below had reached 10307, ​​and this number was still increasing... This made Gao Wu even happier.

As he thought this, the Book of Immeasurable Merit slowly turned its pages, revealing his name and various related data. (Gao Wu)
Lifespan: 99
Spirit: 6.9
Constitution: 8.3
Power: 7.1
Agility: 6.2
Root element: 6.5
Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra: Mastery+
Nine Forms of Dragon Style: Proficient

Since awakening the Book of Immeasurable Merit, one of its spells has been activated: the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra.

According to the Book of Immeasurable Merits, the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra can guide the Azure Qi of the East to transform into an Azure Dragon to cleanse the body and mind. It possesses inconceivable supernatural powers and is an unparalleled divine mantra.

The Azure Dragon Divine Qi Incantation, once activated, emitted a vibrant azure light that instantly healed his severely injured internal organs, allowing him to survive the great calamity.

Since then, Gao Wu has realized the wonder of the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra and has been practicing it every day without fail.

The Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra has over a thousand characters, and initially, reciting the entire text silently took about eight minutes. It also requires visualizing the Azure Dragon deity.

The entire chanting process is quite complex, and Gao Wu also stumbled and struggled when he first started practicing this spell.

At first, he could only succeed once out of ten attempts. Fortunately, he had cultivated in a Taoist temple in his previous life, and his two lifetimes made him much more mature than ordinary teenagers. He also had great faith in the Book of Immeasurable Merit.

Through continuous practice, the time required to chant mantras also becomes shorter and shorter.

Gao Wu discovered that the most direct effect of the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Curse is to improve physical fitness, strengthen bones and muscles, and repair damage.

Normal Azure Dragon Divine Qi Incantation cannot quickly heal severe injuries. His rapid recovery after the cataclysm was clearly a special change brought about by the first activation of the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Incantation.

The data model in the Book of Immeasurable Merit has been adjusted many times, and finally it was fixed in the most intuitive way that Gao Wu could understand.

An average healthy adult male has a constitution of around five points, while Gao Wu's constitution is as high as eight points, three times that of an average healthy adult male. This is entirely due to his day and night cultivation of the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra.

Physical fitness is a complex concept that includes aspects such as vitality, endurance, and resilience.

For martial arts training, good physical condition means being able to withstand hardship and recover quickly after high-intensity training.

Because of his super strong physique, even though Gao Wu didn't have much talent in martial arts, he was able to become an intermediate martial artist at the age of seventeen through hard work and diligent study.

Dongjiang has one city and nine counties, with a total of one million middle school students. Gao Wu can easily rank among the top 100 in terms of individual combat strength.

He was suppressed by his coach at school and had no opportunity to perform, which is why his ranking was so low.

Next year is the college entrance examination. Only the top ten in the martial arts points ranking of middle schools can be directly admitted to the martial arts academy of a top university.

Gao Wu didn't have a good solution to this, but fortunately he had the Book of Immeasurable Merit, so he would always have a chance to rise to the top.

The Book of Immeasurable Merit can collect merit, which can only be used to enhance divine spells. It cannot enhance other martial arts, nor can it directly improve basic physical attributes. Even so, it is still an extraordinary and peerless artifact.

Through several years of reflection and practice, Gao Wu discovered that the way to gain merit is to do good deeds.

This good deed must align with his simple and honest moral values.

The more people know about a good deed, the more merit one accumulates. Conversely, the less people know about a good deed, the less merit one accumulates.

Just like this time when he saved someone in public, he gained hundreds of merits. Spreading the story through online platforms such as short videos can gain even more merits.

The total merit exceeds ten thousand, enough to elevate the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Mantra to a higher level.

In that case, the chanting speed will be faster, and the effects of the divine incantation on enhancing physical fitness will be stronger. One can even chant in battle.

In battles at the martial arts level, the contest is about strength, speed, skill, and endurance.

If he can chant the incantation during battle, he can wear down any opponent of the same level in three rounds of arena combat with the Azure Dragon Divine Qi Incantation.

However, perhaps 10,000 merits can activate several other divine spells?
Based on experience, the first activation of the divine incantation will attract wondrous power to cleanse the body and enhance its basic attributes.

If so, it would be enough to give him a qualitative leap in strength.

This is a very, very important time for him; he must make a careful choice…
