Chapter 235: On the Eve of Breakthrough, Attempting to Step into the Perfect Domain! (Part 2)
But the problem lies with this serene woman from the Nanhuang Daoist School, whose spiritual cultivation is so high it frightens people, directly ignoring their "defensive tactics".
It was as if a space battleship was pressing down on a fishing boat, leaving the latter with no room for resistance.
"I was presumptuous, I'll come to visit again in three days."
Under the gaze of the serene woman, it felt as if a ferocious beast from the Star Sea had targeted him; Jiang Shijie felt all uneasy, a chill running down his back. After pondering for a moment, he decided to take his leave.
"Alright."
Yu Weiwei nodded.
"Young Brother Qin will be at the Nanhuang Daoist School to meet with everyone punctually."
She waved her hand, signaling Jiang Shijie and the others that they could leave.
This kind of "arrogant" attitude, however, made the young masters of the Sequence Army, who were accustomed to being troublemakers, keep silent.
They were proper warriors who had endured the three-year service term, quite familiar with the scent of the battlefield.
Jiang Shijie exchanged a glance with Lin Xiong and simultaneously dragged Wu Yong away.
A serene, gentle woman who seemed like a kind elder sister from next door.
In the eyes of those from the Seventh Battle Group's Sequence Army.
She resembled a terrifying demon who had personally built hills of skulls!
Qin Shi looked at the departing back of Jiang Shijie and said:
"Senior Sister, I think I can still fight."
He had been pondering earlier on how to initiate the third phase to see if he could face the soldiers of the Wind Scythe Sequence Army head-on.
"Young Brother Qin, in this kind of semi-public challenge, you are somewhat carrying the reputation of the Nanhuang Daoist School."
Yu Weiwei smiled gently and said:
"Even if you can't win against the opponent, you must not lose too miserably. Being beaten is one thing, but allowing others to stand out by stepping on the name of our school would definitely anger Master."
Qin Shi nodded, agreeing with Yu Weiwei's words.
The third senior sister roughly meant that he should perform well and show his style.
"Don't worry, Sister Yu. I will make sure that in these three days of special training, I should be able to put the other half of my foot into the Specialized Domain."
Qin Shi thought seriously, having already "marked" Lin Xiong and Jiang Shijie.
Through the combat retrospect in the Inner Realm, in the coming days.
He should be able to stack the [Armor Stacking] technique quite high.
"I believe you won't let the reputation of the Nanhuang Daoist School fall to the ground, Young Brother Qin."
Yu Weiwei's lips curled up; Shifu had once told her that Young Brother Qin had a monstrous growing potential.
As long as given enough space to grow, he could exhibit a terrifying potential.
In her inner world, Qin Shi's brilliance might not be as dazzling as Jiang Shijie's, but it was not much inferior.
The difference between the two simply remained on that line of the realm.
"In three days of accumulation, can Young Brother Qin really step into the Specialized Domain?"
As Yu Weiwei looked at Qin Shi's face, a hint of worry floated into her heart.
She knew that Young Brother Qin had waited so long, repeatedly hovering before the door of the Specialized Level time and again.
Just hoping for perfection, forming a domain, and further refining a unique "trait".
This step is very difficult to take.
"The perfect domain is difficult as ascending to heaven."
Yu Weiwei did not disturb Qin Shi's "retreat," as she moved to the main control room of the Nanhuang Daoist School and summoned the active consciousness Xuan Ming.
"What's the likelihood, given Young Brother Qin's current situation, of his domain progress reaching one hundred percent?"
She asked softly.
The active consciousness Xuan Ming began deducing data, building a model, and through dozens to hundreds of repeated tests, the model, into which all of Qin Shi's data were fed, tended to stabilize.
After approximately two hours of meticulous calculations, Xuan Ming came to a conclusion.
"The likelihood of the Young Hall Master stepping into the perfect domain and from there extracting an extraordinary-level trait is maintained at forty-seven percent."
Yu Weiwei pursed her lips; this success rate was not low.
The vast majority of those at the Specialized Level would never be able to touch an "extraordinary-level trait".
Even geniuses like Yu Li ultimately failed in the step of stepping into the "perfect domain" and could not achieve complete success.
"Close to a fifty percent certainty."
Yu Weiwei lowered her eyes.
"Xuan Ming, these few days we must ensure that Young Brother Qin during his cultivation time is supplied with plenty of resources. I will request from the Inspection Department the permission to open the Netherworld, making the energy factor inside the Nanhuang Daoist School denser and more abundant."
Xuan Ming received the command, speaking slowly:
"Understood. The Hall Master instructed that during his absence, the Young Hall Master will enjoy the highest treatment equivalent to him."
...
...
The night of Old Factory Street is always denser than the Urban Circle, like a thick curtain wrapping around the streets and buildings.
In the training room of the Nanhuang Daoist School, after a bath, Qin Shi dressed in loose garments.
In the spacious wooden house, incense burned, and the curling smoke dispersed.
He sat cross-legged on a soft mat, silently adjusting his breathing rhythm.
The rhythm was very peculiar, as heavy as a mountain, yet as fierce as a raging fire.
The Cultivation Furnace began to rotate like a motor starting up, and at the same time, the Hundred Forms Refining Stance unfolded.
Wind, forest, fire, mountain, various Heart Stance visions imprinted the spirit.
This was the training course Qin Shi had recently started executing after discussing with Old Liang.
He used to practice them separately, not cultivating Hong Sheng's Hundred Forms Refining Stance and Nanhuang Daoist School's Cultivation Furnace together, but rather adopting a "segregation mode."
Under Old Liang's guidance, Qin Shi began to embark on this path of "integration."
To be honest, it was very difficult.
Even with his stats, combined with various achievement traits supporting him, he couldn't harmonize them well.
The Hundred Forms Refining Stance emphasizes "integration," requiring a fundamentally strong core to encompass all.
Whereas the Cultivation Furnace from Nanhuang Daoist School emphasizes "nourishment," making any material a "nutrient" to strengthen the Mortal Body.
Once operated simultaneously, the Hundred Forms Refining Stance nurtures "my spirit," and the Cultivation Furnace benefits "my body."
It's like opening two outlets in a pool, requiring a continuous supply of energy; otherwise, it won't keep up with consumption.
This is the first difficulty.
In this regard, Qin Shi found it relatively easy to solve, being the Supernova of the Tai'an region.
Plus, the "rare resources" he acquired from the Entropy Sea Bank were enough to sustain this period.
But the second difficulty left Qin Shi at a loss.
Even though he broke through the Four Great Limits multiple times, the Mortal Body still couldn't perfectly accommodate the two masterstrokes, reaching a critical point after about thirty operations, unable to advance further.
"Since that's the case, I can only resort to strong measures."
After careful consideration over these days, Qin Shi finally conceived a desperate approach.
If Hong Sheng's Hundred Forms Refining Stance and Nanhuang Daoist School's Cultivation Furnace couldn't harmonize,
then, what if I add He Lanchan's "Void Meditation Technique"?
As everyone knows, a triangle is the most stable structure!
"Stretch across the void, mountains, rivers, and earth, relying on nothing but myself; through ancient and present times, there is no reliance, except for the present..."
Golden sutras, like a dragon-snake, flowed around Qin Shi like a river.
The ancient void mirror formed to reflect himself.
His entire cross-legged figure instantly transformed into high-purity transparent crystal.
Muscles, bones, skin, veins, and various organs were covered by rich brilliance, becoming multicolored.
"'Void Meditation Technique' imprints onto oneself, making it easier to adjust the Hundred Forms Refining Stance and the Cultivation Furnace."
Qin Shi began contemplating, repeatedly trying to maneuver both inheritances with different rhythms.
But he kept facing the same problem.
Lacking a strong enough core to suppress the other masterstrokes.
Leading to the slightest lax causing imbalance.
"It seems I must push the life nodes of the 'Warfare Strategy' to three hundred."
After numerous failed attempts, Qin Shi finally managed to stabilize the Sea of Consciousness with the "Void Meditation Technique," allowing the Hundred Forms Refining Stance and the Cultivation Furnace to operate in two opposing routes.
This "triune state" could persist for about eight minutes.
"Activate stacking!"
Qin Shi initiated the Combat Retrospect within the Inner Realm, slowly manifesting Jiang Shijie and Lin Xiong.
Boom!
Jiang Shijie struck first!
His fist moved as fast as lightning, causing his body to blur like a flicker of residual images, momentarily distorting even space.
Crack!
Qin Shi first attempted a direct block!
His two arms collided like two hundred-ton kings, a violent force like a flood crashing through mountains, causing his body to violently tremble, with deafening crackles inside, like beans being fried!
"Never have I felt such a miserable sensation..."
Qin Shi licked his lips, a strong metallic-bitter taste lingering in his mouth.
Jiang Shijie's lone warrior technique, the "Unconscious Profound True Light," pierced his muscles, bones, and skin limits in an instant.
He suffered greatly!
Immediately after, Lin Xiong also launched his assault.
The "target" summoned by the retrospection wouldn't care for martial ethics.
His burly figure glowed with dark green light, like a giant bear standing on two legs, his every move stirring up vast gusts of wind.
He lunged abruptly, attacking Qin Shi with an embrace!
"Fighting two Specialized Level warriors is truly overwhelming."
Darkness veiled Qin Shi's vision as his bones shattered one by one, blood gushing from his chest under tremendous force.
