Chapter 83

New Discoveries

“Ugh. I’m so exhausted!” Chu Shen flopped down on the bed with a groan. Lucas gave him an inquisitive glance.

“That ‘Grandmaster’ Qin” He said making quotation marks in the air. “Has been training me nonstop for five days now. And to make it worse it’s actually felt like fifteen since he has that illusion array. It’s awful!”

Lucas shrugged. “Can’t be that bad.”

Chu Shen looked at him with a blank stare. “Yeah. I just have to look at examples of two hundred basic moves from different weapons and techniques. Then learn it so that I can predict where the moves are going to land by reading the opponent's muscles. And to top it off, if I don’t learn it, I have to do it all over again.”

“Yeah. That seems difficult for an organic to do. Maybe I should skip the training then.”

“Nuh-uh. If I have to learn it, so do you.”

“Well it would be redundant since I have a map of the human muscular system so I can just run a program to tell me anyways.”

Chu Shen stared at him for a second before promptly throwing a pillow, which Lucas dodged. “I hate you Lucas. I really do hate you.”

Lucas shrugged. “Well. I wanted to show you something I discovered while you were gone. I was investigating the attribute Qi from the beast cores and discovered it’s actually a 7th state of matter.”

Chu Shen looked at him. “What do you mean?”

Lucas sighed. “You know the other six states of matter right? Liquid, solid, gas, plasma, Bose-Einstein condensate, and hyper-matter.”

Chu Shen nodded. “Yeah. Well except the last two. Only briefly heard it on a physics simulation.”

“Bose-Einstein condensates are bosons, a quantum particle, cooled to absolute zero. Or at least close to it. Hyper-matter is the state of all matter in hypers.p.a.ce. It is when all matter has lost all distance between the electron cloud and the nucleus.”

Lucas had an excited look on his face as he explained all this. “However, I found out that attribute Qi actually is a seventh state! This state is a fluctuation of matter and energy. This ‘Earth Qi’ is actually a form of energy that can fluctuate between being actual earth and energy! I even found it can temporarily turn real earth into this energy and be used to manipulate it!”

It was Chu Shen’s turn to shrug. “And? I knew all this anyways. I grew up seeing this.”

Lucas sighed. “Yeah, but if I can discover how to induce this seventh state it can be limitless! We use fusion and fission to power our systems now but if we can use this seventh state we will no longer be forced to use exotic matter or Hydrogen as fuel but everything! The limits on s.p.a.ce travel could be undone! We can even turn mining into a complete waste of time!”

“Whoopee. Now let me get some sleep. I’m tired.” Chu Shen rolled over on the bed.

“Ugh! I hate it when people don’t listen!”

Chu Shen showed up at the Agata Family mansion as usual. Just like before Grandmaster Qin was there to meet him. However, this time he was not led to the illusion formation. Instead he was led to a small table and served some tea.

“Hmm. Thank you Grandmaster Qin. However, why am I not training?” Chu Shen asked.
