NOVEL WEB Chapter 114 Simulation: Assisting
"You wish to join Ming Lun Martial Arts School, and that is possible,"
Sun Shi nodded. "Your pursuit of the future is no less than Wang Chao's, but your way of approaching issues is a bit too radical."
Radical?
GOD wondered what the other party meant.
In the other's eyes, perhaps nothing about himself could be hidden. His thoughts were also transparent to the other.
Yet, he still adhered to his own methods.
"We have already transcended ordinary people, just like our ancestors were monkeys, but we don't consider ourselves the same as monkeys. Moreover, most people in the world still believe in creationism rather than natural evolution."
"Perhaps the theory that 'humans evolved from apes' has its flaws, but at least it corresponds with our current logic and views."
"However, some people would rather believe in the nebulous myths than accept the more straightforward evidence of evolution theory, which is utterly foolish."
At this, GOD took a deep breath, seemingly contemplative, then his eyes brightened: "Since they are as ignorant as monkeys, those of us who have evolved are naturally the new humans, namely —"
"Gods!"
Li Hansha surveyed GOD, who looked remarkably composed, and said with interest, "Sun Shi Sheng, this guy's thoughts are similar to mine, but too arrogant. How about I take him under my wing?"
"Then do as you please." Sun Shi nodded and walked towards the school.
"Wait!"
GOD stepped forward, covering more than ten meters, but Li Hansha stopped him with a single fingertip.
"You!"
GOD was shocked; he could not fathom how the person in front of him moved. Ming Lun Martial Arts School was indeed a hidden dragon crouching tiger!
"I am Li, the coach of Ming Lun Martial Arts School, Li Hansha."
Li Hansha introduced himself. "You have already joined Ming Lun Martial Arts School. From now on, you are my disciple."
"It's evident that you have studied the various arts of Taoism, which actually suits me perfectly."
"It seems there's even a hint of planting lotus in the fire in it."
GOD squinted his eyes. The person before him could discern his fist's intention of 'If fate is in my hand, I can plant lotus in fire,' he must not only overpower him in vitality but also must have an exceptionally thorough understanding of Taoist martial arts."
A great master indeed!
"Li Hansha, I've heard of you. Skilled in alchemy?" GOD inquired.
"Yes," Li Hansha replied indifferently. "You might not believe it, but in the eyes of the director, I am regarded as the Morality Celestial of the cosmic aura."
"A very apt description." GOD did not argue, having also noticed the anomalies in Jiangnan City. "If you are the Supreme One, then who competes against you?"
"Yuanshi Tianzun?"
Li Hansha nodded: "Yes, and you must have also looked into his identity. Wang Chao, who just left to cultivate, aims to integrate global history into his soul and evolve fist intent. If successful, his fist will embody the civilizational fist traceable through ancient and modern times, with a single punch representing the collective efforts of all throughout history."
GOD could already imagine how powerful Wang Chao would be after his success.
That fist intent!
Unrivaled!
No!
Perhaps Sun Shi of Ming Lun Martial Arts School could handle it, but it certainly wouldn't be easy.
"And who is the Spiritual Treasure Celestial?" GOD wanted to know who the Spiritual Treasure Celestial was. Could it be someone else from Ming Lun Martial Arts School?
"Not yet born."
Li Hansha said offhandedly, then paused.
This matter, it seemed Sun Shi hadn't mentioned to him, yet why did he feel an intrinsic awareness?
The theory of the Three Pure Ones, perhaps had its merits.
GOD didn't notice Li Hansha's momentary distraction, only feeling his lofty and remote presence, as if sitting in the thirty-three heavens, while he himself sat at the very bottom, among the mortals.
This was the gap between heaven and earth!
"All right, this isn't something you need to worry about, just follow me inside," Li Hansha said, neither mournful nor joyful, his face serene. Although he turned his back to GOD, GOD felt as if he could see Li Hansha's face directly.
Legend had it that where Buddha stood, regardless of the position one looked from, they would always see his face, representing the divine skill of being all-seeing.
The universe has no distinction of up and down, left and right, front and back.
And for those who have attained a certain level of cultivation, if they stood in the universe, perhaps their facing direction is always the front.
Glancing up at the characters "Ming Lun" overhead, he sensed the true essence of martial arts within, but now was not the time for detailed observation. He followed behind Li Hansha into the martial arts school...
... Рlеаsе rеаd this сhаptеr оn its оriginаl plаtfоrm—М|V|L1ЕМРYR.
Inside the training hall, Chan Yinsha stretched and rubbed his fists, facing Tang Zichen, who was dressed in a white robe, with a playful smirk: "Zi Chen, don't blame me for not warning you, among Wang Chao, you, and myself, the most pure strength lies with me."
Initially, when Sun Shi taught the Three Lives Three Teachings Fist to Wang Chao, Tang Zichen, and Chan Yinsha. Wang Chao and Tang Zichen grasped one or two of the true meanings encompassing the harmony of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism.
Only Chan Yinsha was different, having grasped only the most pure power.
What is power?
The fist is power!
When their life force was suppressed to the level of 1, Chan Yinsha's power was the most ferocious, each punch and kick held immense might, a mere graze could kill, and a knock could wound.
Even Wang Chao, in terms of strength, was inferior by comparison.
"Strength isn't the only thing."
Tang Zichen smiled slightly, and made the first move, moving like a flowing dragon, gracefully advancing with steps hovering an inch above the ground, as if sliding across it.
Within the Eight Trigrams Palm, there is a corresponding footwork.
After achieving spiritual cultivation, Tang Zichen often visualized the sacred embryo within her heart and frequently contemplated the words "Ming Lun" from the Ming Lun martial arts school, combining realizations from the Three Lives Three Teachings Fist to create this move.
It's called the Eight Trigrams Dragon-Stepping Walk!
In just an instant, eight Tang Zichens appeared beside Chan Yinsha.
Each figure was different from the other.
This wasn't just the effect of a powerful mind but also due to her own speed stirring the airflows to create semi-solid clones, as vivid as real persons.
These clones could only be dissipated by force; otherwise, they would explode.
The essence of which was condensed airflow.
With Chan Yinsha's strength, naturally, she wouldn't worry about such level of clones, but she could only exert strength equating to life force 1, any more than that would mean her defeat.
"Quite cunning indeed."
Chan Yinsha's lips curved slightly, took a deep breath, spread her arms, also stirring the airflows to form a continuously spinning circle around her, warding off Tang Zichen's eight airflow clones.
This move, based on the path of strength, was derived from stirring the airflows around her, circulating around her body, powerful in both offense and defense.
In a flash, she dispersed the eight clones and neutralized the bursting airflows, ultimately reducing them to nothingness.
"What do you call this move?"
Tang Zichen revealed her true form, calmed her breath, and curiously asked, "How come I've never seen you try this before?"
Chan Yinsha chuckled, "Just created this technique for stirring airflows on the spot; it can be called the Great Spiral of Airflows."
"The name is quite apt."
Tang Zichen was somewhat speechless. With life force at 1, careful as they might be, proper techniques could still unleash tremendous power; it wasn't going to be simple for the two of them to determine a winner.
If it were a fight to death, full firepower would be unleashed, every move lethal.
But now, they were suppressing their life force to 1, measuring each other's abilities with one move after another, resembling Hollywood-style turn-based fighting.
While highly entertaining, only the two of them were present, leaving it unclear who the performance was for.
Yet, both were enjoying themselves immensely.
After all, this wasn't a fight to the death but a mere exchange of insights where they could also understand each other's intentions and the path of the sacred embryo.
"However, that's just brute force, isn't it?"
"What clever force, brute force, as long as it can break through your fancy moves, that's divine power," Chan Yinsha said nonchalantly, looking earnestly at Tang Zichen, "Strength, after all, is the ultimate path to victory, you spend too much energy organizing your own martial arts."
Tang Zichen sighed, "There's no helping it since I have so many martial arts techniques at my disposal, and I can't let them go to waste, can I? Plus, the current amount of spiritual energy is still far from sufficient; it's only after the Taixu Illusory Realm can give birth to a primordial-level illusory world that we'll be able to enter it for cultivation, right?"
"Therefore, might as well take this opportunity to organize what I've learned."
"I suggest you broaden your perspective too, don't just think about winning with strength, at least not at this stage, you don't have a chance."
Chan Yinsha looked unperturbed, quickly stepped forward, and threw a punch, which Tang Zichen caught and clamped down on her punching arm, immobilizing it.
"Your punches are too straightforward." Tang Zichen smiled, "Although you're quick to respond, you're no match for me."
Chan Yinsha shrugged off Tang Zichen, grunted, "I just got careless."
Tang Zichen patted his arm and said, "I suggest, that in your free time, you should visit some famous mountains within Huaxia, you'd definitely gain some insights."
Chan Yinsha didn't object, "I've climbed the Five Great Mountains and condensed their essence into a move called the Five Great Mountains Divine Fist, just that I can't use it with life force at 1."
"Is that so? Then next time, you must show it to me."
Tang Zichen, with a hint of a smile, changed out of her dance costume into sportswear, disguised as an ordinary old lady, preparing to leave the room.
"When will you be back?" Chan Yinsha asked, "If you go, I usually can only practice martial arts with Li Hansha and Sun, and Sun is adaptable, but I dare not practice much with Li Hansha; he doesn't hold back striking."
Tang Zichen laughed, "Consider it a form of practice."
Upon leaving the room, Tang Zichen found Sun Shisheng, sitting in meditation, and bid him farewell.
"Hmm."
Sun Shisheng nodded in agreement, "If you wish to come back, the doors of Ming Lun Martial Arts School are always open for you."
"Don't worry, I will return." Tang Zichen's expression was serene, "I consider the world my home, yet it is only here that I feel the warmth of a true home."
"After handling some things, I will be back."
"Oh, and if the Taixu Illusory Realm opens up, give me a call. I want to be the first to enter and see."
