This is Swallowed Star, not Resident Evil.

Chapter 5 The Supreme Goodness and the Secret of Still Water

After half a day, Ye Yang finally arrived at the Ziteng Star System.

The admission notice from Ziteng University includes a free ticket to a long-distance teleportation array; otherwise, a single trip across a teleportation array spanning over 100 light-years would drain more than half of Ye Yang's family's savings.

Because new students arrive at any time of year, there aren't many upperclassmen holding up signs to welcome them.

There was only one dozen jade slips in the gate guard room that recorded the registration process.

"What era are we living in that we still use jade slips..." Ye Yang muttered, then began to follow the information inside to complete the enrollment process.

Another half day has passed...

"My physical condition is getting worse and worse in the dungeon, I have to leave as soon as possible."

Ye Yang also took some time to enter the instance to check the situation.

The illness caused by RR virus usually lasts for more than ten days, and we are not at the most severe stage yet.

With a mortality rate as high as 30%, even if a large number of the elderly and infirm are included, the mortality rate of healthy adults will not be low!

But Ye Yang can't afford to die now.

He was in such a hurry to register at the school because he wanted to learn the "divine skill" that all top universities would teach for free – the "Supreme Goodness Still Water Technique".

Countless dungeon masters have discovered through long-term practice that the flow of time in the dungeon world can be altered before the dungeon is opened by the Gate of Heaven!

The purpose of this mental technique is to adjust the mental state of the dungeon master, slowing down or even stopping the flow of time in the dungeon world.

Previously, Ye Yang had only heard about the effects of this mental technique, but the relevant information was protected by inheritance and could not be disseminated privately, so Ye Yang had no way to obtain it.

Now that I'm at Ziteng University, I have the opportunity to receive instruction.

"Let's go see the counselor first."

Ye Yang was assigned to a class with a mixed background, consisting of students from minor departments and minor branches. Their courses were also different, so they only gathered together for class meetings held every two weeks to a month.

So I'll have to wait ten days to see my class advisor.

However, he now has the counselor's contact information and can go to him.

"You're Ye Yang?"

The counselor, a woman who appeared to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight, sized up Ye Yang and smiled, "Your scenario is a modern city, Resident Evil-themed scenario, right?"

"That's what the examiners think," Ye Yang said.

"Hmm, you want to apply to learn the 'Supreme Goodness Still Water Technique' because your body was infected with the pathogen in the instance, right?"

The counselor paused for a moment, then said, "Learning the 'Supreme Goodness Still Water Technique' costs 2 credits. Each student is only allocated 10 credits per year by the school. If you want more, you can only obtain them through other means. I need to remind you that credits are a very precious resource, and they are very difficult to obtain."

"The only way for freshmen under three years old to earn credits is almost exclusively through Fate Point quests in their own instance."

"Do you really think your instance is worth continuing to invest in? Can it generate enough Fate Points?"

"If you don't get a return on your investment of academic credits, you could very well drop out within three years."

Ye Yang took a deep breath and said earnestly, "Teacher, you may only understand me from other people's evaluations and online opinions, but I know my own state during the Resonance Dungeon. I am confident that my dungeon has full potential!"

"Okay." The counselor nodded. "Although the chances of the examiner making a mistake are very low, since you have such confidence, I hope you can prove yourself."

She first submitted Ye Yang's application on the terminal, then stood up and took Ye Yang to the Heritage Center.

The Heritage Center is a huge building covering hundreds of acres, which houses a large number of precious immortal inheritances.

After passing through the hall, the two entered a room.

"Once your college terminal is issued, you can exchange your credits for inheritance yourself and come to the Inheritance Center to receive it." After saying this, the counselor left the room.

Please connect your divine sense…

A passage of text appeared on the surface of the spherical magical artifact in front of Ye Yang.

Ye Yang extended his divine sense and began to receive the seed of inheritance of the "Supreme Goodness Still Water Technique".

……

Two days later.

In single room number 1 of the four-person dormitory, where only Ye Yang was present.

"The Supreme Goodness Still Water Technique is divided into three levels. The first level can reduce the flow of time in a dungeon by 2 to 10 times, the second level can reduce it by 10 to 1000 times, and after fully mastering the third level, you can basically stop the time in a dungeon."

"With the seed of inheritance, this mental technique is not difficult to learn. Even the soul of someone in the Qi Refining stage can master the first level."

"I spent a day cultivating the first level, and I've spent another day cultivating the second level. The time flow ratio between the instance and reality is 32 to 1, which is enough. If I continue cultivating, the effort and the reward will be disproportionate."

Ye Yang has mastered the "Supreme Goodness Still Water Technique" to such an extent in just two days, which will absolutely astound countless people!

The reason lies in the fact that as a time traveler, perhaps due to the fusion of two souls, or perhaps due to some change in his soul during the time travel process, his comprehension is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

This is one of the reasons why he was able to stand out among millions of students on Ling Shu Star and become the top student on the planet.

"The next step is to find a way to resolve the symptoms of RR virus infection."

Having had ample time, Ye Yang began to ponder:

"The Earth creatures that devoured the instance were greatly enhanced in physical condition after being infected with the RR virus, and some even embarked on the path of absorbing cosmic energy and evolving their genes."

"Perhaps after infecting cells, the RR virus inserts some kind of extraordinary gene into the genetic chain, thus giving the infected organism the ability to absorb cosmic energy?"

"If this conjecture is correct, then at least some cells in my body have acquired this extraordinary gene after being infected. If these 'mutated' cells can be used to absorb cosmic energy, could it promote the evolution of other cells?"

"Furthermore, although I didn't bring all of the divine soul into the Devouring Dungeon, I did bring a portion. Even if it was small, it was still the essence of a Foundation Establishment level divine soul!"

"Perhaps we could try directly sensing so-called cosmic energy, like the first step of Qi cultivation—guiding Qi into the body—to temper the body with cosmic energy?"

Having come up with the idea, Ye Yang began to put it into practice.

……

As consciousness descended and devoured the world, Ye Yang immediately sensed the body that was running a high fever.

He had been moved to a temporary shelter set up in a basketball court and was lying on a makeshift hospital bed.

His lungs were very itchy, but he could still bear it.

"The descending divine consciousness is too weak, barely able to leave the body, and there's also interference from the blood energy within..."

Ye Yang felt somewhat helpless.

This is also why he was unable to immediately sense the so-called cosmic energy before.

Ye Yang could only secretly cultivate the "Nourishing Spirit Method" with his mind, which was a very basic method for nourishing the spirit.

Not long after, dizziness began to appear, indicating that Ye Yang had consumed too much of his brain's nutrients.

However, he also cultivated an extremely subtle wisp of divine consciousness, which, even though subtle, was more than three or four times stronger than before!

Despite the various physical discomforts, he immediately sent out a wisp of his divine consciousness.

Sensing carefully...

"Got it!" Ye Yang quickly detected a faint 'aura' wafting around his body.

The divine sense immediately captured it and brought it back into the body.
