"However, the Book of Knowledge itself is optimized from the basic framework of the Thirty-six Body Refinement Techniques. It's not surprising that the research results are similar to human findings," Chen Shouyi pondered:

"The optimized version of the Thirty-six Body Refinement Techniques is likely to influence Martial Arts as significantly as humanity moving from the steam age to the electrical age. It's foreseeable that starting today, the number of Martial Artist Apprentices will likely experience explosive growth, and in the coming years, the number of Martial Artists will also continue to increase, further strengthening human capability."

Chen Shouyi then visited other websites, finding that news, TV shows, entertainment channels, and various forums were filled with information about the new version of the Thirty-six Body Refinement Techniques. It was promotion from top to bottom by the authorities, with almost all media outlets putting in their efforts.

Just then, there was a knock at the door:

"Bro, open the door! Hurry up!"

Chen Shouyi quickly got up and opened the bedroom door. Seeing the excited Chen Xingyue in her pajamas, he had already guessed what it was about in his heart:

"What's up?"

"Bro, have you seen the news? The Thirty-six Body Refinement Techniques you taught me are almost like the new version!" As soon as she saw Chen Shouyi, Chen Xingyue couldn't wait to say.

So, she has noticed.

"I've seen it. What's surprising about it? The new version was developed through repeated experimentation on the original Thirty-six Body Refinement Techniques, so how different can it be from my own experiences?" Chen Shouyi said shamelessly with a calm face.

"But..."

This is the latest joint release by the Martial Arts Bureau and countries around the world. Many laboratories and scientists participated. If it were really similar to your own experience, wouldn't that mean all those scientists were doing fruitless work?

"Don't be so surprised. Once you've reached the state of introspection and body training, you'll roughly understand. How's your practice going now?" Chen Shouyi changed the subject subtly.

"I've made rapid progress recently." Speaking of which, Chen Xingyue immediately became a bit excited, "I estimate that within three years, I'll be able to apply for Martial Artist training, and I'll be able to catch up with you then."

My sister, you're overthinking it.

"Don't slack off in quiet introspection and body training; it's very important."

"I know, bro. I practice every night and at lunchtime," Chen Xingyue said.

...

Time rewound to an hour ago, Zhang Jingyi placed the dishes on the table and knocked on her daughter's bedroom door. "Time to eat; Tingting, stop doing your homework."

"Oh, I'm coming," Song Tingting's voice came from the bedroom.

Song Qiran tossed aside the newspaper he'd read several times and walked to the dining table. Soon he saw Song Tingting walking out of the bedroom:

"Mom, the dishes you cooked today smell great!"

"Eat as much as you want, you've lost a lot of weight from practicing Martial Arts every day recently," Zhang Jingyi smiled as she placed the chopsticks in front of Song Tingting.

"Okay, today I'll eat two bowls," Song Tingting said as she picked up the chopsticks.

During the meal, Song Qiran occasionally glanced at Song Tingting, as if wanting to say something.

"Dad, why do you keep looking at me? I can't even eat like this," Song Tingting said playfully.

"It's just that I've realized how much my daughter has grown without noticing," Song Qiran sighed.

Zhang Jingyi, not understanding, scolded him. "It's not your first time seeing her; why are you so sentimental? I find you quite odd today."

Song Qiran, filled with mixed feelings, said, "Do you know a new family has moved in upstairs in apartment 502?"

"I didn't know that; why?" Zhang Jingyi asked curiously. Nowadays, neighbors are distant. Many people don't even know how many people live next door or their names after years of living in the same place.

Song Tingting, who was eating, suddenly paused, her ears perking up.

"It's a family of four, and their daughter is about Tingting's age. I even know their son," Song Qiran continued.

"Who?" Zhang Jingyi asked curiously.

"Didn't I attend a banquet with Tingting yesterday? Their son was there too, and he got into a verbal dispute with a Martial Artist!"

"Oh!" Zhang Jingyi exclaimed, "Is their son okay?"

Song Tingting was biting her chopsticks, her brows slightly furrowed, thinking: So, the senior isn't living alone. He has parents and a sister. Should I still go today? I wonder if his sister is easy to get along with.

"Don't worry. Their son is fine. It was the Martial Artist who got hospitalized," Song Qiran concluded, feeling smug as he glanced at Song Tingting, who was lost in thought.

Hmph, you think you're keeping secrets, but in fact, everything is under my control.

Zhang Jingyi was surprised: "From what you said, their son isn't much older than Tingting. Is he a Martial Artist too? We should formally pay them a visit!"

Song Qiran was taken aback by this and asked, "A person with such an impulsive temperament, getting physical at the slightest disagreement—aren't you worried? I was actually considering moving to another house."

Zhang Jingyi looked at Song Qiran strangely, "What are you worried about? We haven't offended this Martial Artist. Besides, having a Martial Artist living next door makes us much safer. Recently, Hedong City hasn't been very peaceful. Let's buy a gift some other day and pay them a visit."

...

Having finally managed to send his sister away, Chen Shouyi locked the door and sat back down.

He checked the time.

It was already 6:30. Had it been any other day, Song Tingting would have been knocking by now. It seemed she wouldn't be coming today.

He took the Shell Lady out of the briefcase and placed her on the bed.

She opened her eyes drowsily and quickly sat up.

"Oh Great Giant, I want to watch Prepared."

The Shell Lady was getting better at flattering him.

But Chen Shouyi liked this approach: "We'll watch after dinner."

"Okay!" The Shell Lady held two small glass beads in her tiny hands, idly bumping them together, producing a crisp sound from time to time. "Great Giant, when are we going back to my home?"

"In a few days." Chen Shouyi was taken aback—how did she start feeling homesick again?

"But I really should find a fixed alien world to train in. My progress in strength has slowed down recently," he thought.

After feeding her honey, Chen Shouyi played an animation for her.

...

Time passed quietly for a few days. During this time, information about the new version of the Thirty-six Body Refinement Techniques spread to almost every corner of Hedong City. Whether on billboards, television walls in squares, or even at the entrance of the neighborhood, banners were hung up.

Online posts and short videos sharing experiences and insights about practicing the new version popped up like mushrooms after rain.

In terms of promotional intensity, subsequent social impact, and topic relevance, it far surpassed the previous three editions. Some media even declared that humanity had already embarked on the path of self-evolution.

Even Mrs. Chen, who usually didn't pay much attention to news and current events, occasionally discussed it at the dinner table these days.
