Chapter 290: So The Essence Of Getting Stronger Is Knowing How To Explode?
Ding!
System: Congratulations to the host. Shocking God Meditation Technique entry-level 5%.
As the system prompt echoed in Lin Qi’s mind, a surge of memory madly poured in. Only after it lasted for a full ten-plus seconds did Lin Qi stand there completely stunned.
“So this is how you practice this meditation technique?”
Lin Qi looked at Ye Qinglu’s memory inheritance and was greatly shocked.
Although the Shocking God Meditation Technique he gave to the players was unreliable, merely a simple combination of the basic meditation method of the Star Energy Civilization plus a Rank One Demigod Phantom video, Ye Qinglu’s meditation method was clearly utterly insane.
Normally, when people meditate on the Demigod Phantom, they spread their spirit to capture the information released by the Demigod Phantom, thereby improving their spirit.
After all, the information released by the Demigod Phantom is extremely vast and is received passively. Even without spreading one’s spirit to receive it, the load on the spirit is already quite large, just like how when he watched the phantom in the video, his seven orifices directly bled.
So spreading the spirit to receive that information puts a huge burden on the spirit, but this is also a kind of tempering of the spirit, thereby improving it.
Yet the information released by the Demigod Phantom is extremely terrifying. Even Heavenly Human Realm experts cannot bear one ten-thousandth of it. So even the Starry Sky Experts of the Star Energy Civilization think about seizing items that record the Demigod’s true appearance. After all, there are far too few things in existence that even spirits of that level cannot withstand, making it basically impossible to temper their spirit.
But Ye Qinglu’s meditation method is completely different. While others spread their spirit out, Ye Qinglu directly makes her spirit explode like a star, blowing her spirit to pieces, expanding it by an unknown multiple, and then passively receiving the information released by the Demigod Phantom.
He could not understand who taught Ye Qinglu to practice meditation like this. It was completely like she was afraid she would not die miserably enough and was begging the Demigod to stab her a few more times.
If her head did not explode from this, that would be the real miracle.
While Lin Qi was shocked by Ye Qinglu’s meditation method, Lu Fanchen, who was watching outside the Intermediate Training Room, suddenly self-detonated. This scene startled everyone present.
“What is going on with Leader Lu? Other people at most only have their heads explode. How did he blow up his whole body?”
“Could it be that the move just now was too powerful, so his mentality collapsed?”
“Probably not. I just saw Leader Lu seem to be rehearsing something, and then he exploded.”
“This damned game, did I buy a fake meditation technique? Other people blow up whenever they want. I’m about to click that video to death and it still won’t let me explode once.”
“But what exactly is Leader Lu rehearsing? Other people at most get their heads blown off, but he can train until his whole body explodes. Did he master some better method?”
Everyone looked at Lu Fanchen, whose entire body had turned into a mist of blood, and for a while they were filled with envy.
The power after an explosion was visible to the naked eye. Many expert players had already tested this. Now, seeing Lu Fanchen who could make his entire body explode, many players grew anxious.
Just having the head explode already made players stronger. They did not dare imagine how strong one would become if their whole body exploded.
“Old Li, what exactly is your Captain Lu rehearsing? How is it this powerful, that even his body can explode? How did he do it?” Yi Ye Fu Yun could not help looking curiously at Li Tianxing beside him and asked.
“Trade secret. I cannot disclose it,” Li Tianxing replied, the corners of his mouth unable to stop lifting as he looked at Yi Ye Fu Yun. “Of course, if you can trade ten Heavenly Human Realm Combat Videos, it’s not impossible.”
They had mastered the self-detonation move not long after entering the game, but Lu Fanchen’s self-detonation this time was completely different. It was inspired by the Heavenly Human Realm Combat Videos, combined with entry-level Shocking God Meditation Technique, which accidentally led to this explosion.
Though he failed, the result was quite good, proving that their method was feasible.
“Ten Heavenly Human Realm Combat Videos? Why don’t you just rob me? It’s just a full-body explosion. You make it sound like I can’t do it. At most, I’ll blow up for you tomorrow, and I’ll explode even more thoroughly, not leaving a single scrap,” Yi Ye Fu Yun rolled his eyes at Li Tianxing. The Heavenly Human Realm Combat Videos were extremely precious. Their Azure Sky Defense Group had only Redeemed twenty-five. They barely had enough time to study them themselves. If they handed out ten, they might as well not live.
“Our explosion is not an ordinary explosion,” Li Tianxing said proudly as he looked at the unconvinced Yi Ye Fu Yun. “I’m using the explosions of Heavenly Human Realm experts as reference. If we pull it off, any martial skill of the Blood Condensation Realm will be laughably weak.”
“Using Heavenly Human Realm experts’ explosions as reference?” Hearing this, Yi Ye Fu Yun was tempted.
After they obtained the Heavenly Human Realm Combat Videos, they had watched them many times and gained some insights, but had not developed anything concrete. Instead, they kept studying how to make their heads explode.
If this explosion was truly developed based on Heavenly Human Realm experts, then it would indeed be extraordinary.
“Three. I can’t go higher. You have not succeeded yet, and the final result is unknown. You’re only giving me a line of thought,” Yi Ye Fu Yun said through gritted teeth, holding up three fingers.
In the Martial Arts Hall’s event prize exchange, there were only 45 Heavenly Human Realm Combat Videos in total. Each faction could Redeem only about thirty. The remaining contribution had to be used to Rent the newly opened Intermediate Gravity Chambers and Cultivation Towers. After all, Level is fundamental. They could not give up Level Improvement for an uncertain martial skill.
“Five. That’s the lowest. I can guarantee that only our two factions will know. And this thing is absolutely worth far more than its price,” Li Tianxing held up five fingers, his expression resolute.
“Five?” Yi Ye Fu Yun thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth. “Fine, five it is.”
He had now completely fallen into the second tier. Even though he had been promoted to the Bone Forging Realm, the huge gap in martial skills made it impossible for him to compete with the experts of the First Tier.
If he could really develop a martial skill of Heavenly Human Realm experts, then returning to the First Tier would not be impossible.
“Good. Transfer the videos to me and I’ll send you the research information,” Li Tianxing said, happily completing the transaction with the now-agreeing Yi Ye Fu Yun.
Among the four Teams, their Guild had earned the least contribution in this event. Considering future martial skill learning, the Heavenly Human Realm Combat Videos were extremely important. Yet all he was offering was a developmental direction and method, and in exchange he could earn five Heavenly Human Realm Combat Videos. This was a huge profit.
After all, the developmental direction and method he provided were currently something only Lu Fanchen might be able to accomplish.
With that, the two completed the Transaction. Li Tianxing obtained five Heavenly Human Realm Combat Videos, while Yi Ye Fu Yun received the demonstration data from Lu Fanchen’s attempt.
“Damn. This is actually doable?” After reading the message from Li Tianxing, Yi Ye Fu Yun looked at him in astonishment.
The martial skill Lu Fanchen wanted to create was practically reckless.
The idea was simple. From the many Heavenly Human Realm Combat Videos, it was clear that the martial skills used by Heavenly Human Realm martial artists were all about the extreme utilization of energy and their own qi and blood.
What Lu Fanchen envisioned was using his own qi and blood and energy to simulate the phantom in the Shocking God Meditation Technique, or rather to use his qi and blood and energy to solidify the phantom in the video and manifest the meditation technique.
But solidifying the phantom was too difficult. You simply could not clearly see its true form. It seemed to change at all times, making it hard to simulate.
So Lu Fanchen took a step back and chose to use qi and blood and energy to solidify and simulate the Stellar Explosion Meditation Technique instead.
“Fanchen’s demonstration failed, but from it I can confirm this method is viable. It’s just that Fanchen’s spirit level is not enough. Once it succeeds, you know very well what its power would be,” Li Tianxing said with a smile.
“If this can be demonstrated, it would indeed be extremely explosive,” Yi Ye Fu Yun fell into thought, rare sharpness flashing through his gaze.
The explosion of a star was something he had simulated in his mind countless times. While not a hundred percent realistic, it was close enough.
If he really simulated it by solidifying it with his own qi and blood and external energy, it would be almost like handcrafting a miniature stellar explosion. Its power would absolutely be world-shattering. Even if not stronger than the martial skills used by Blood Condensation Realm bosses, it would at least not be weaker.
Thinking of this, Yi Ye Fu Yun hurried back to the mechanical room the Martial Arts Hall had specially prepared for him, eager to try it out immediately.
But what he wanted to test was not the Stellar Explosion Meditation Technique, but the more Advanced Shocking God Meditation Technique.
In the mechanical room that was as large as two basketball courts, Yi Ye Fu Yun frantically fiddled with the C-grade alloy processing machine tools that the Martial Arts Hall had just acquired. The more he worked, the more excited his gaze became.
“I can’t simulate the phantom from the video either, but that phantom is so majestic that observing it is even more powerful than observing a stellar explosion. If the phantom I create is large enough, even if it cannot match the real phantom, it should at least not lose to a stellar explosion.”
“If I can create a mecha or a weapon that can madly feed me energy, creating an ultra-giant phantom should not be that hard.”
The more Yi Ye Fu Yun thought along these lines, the faster his actions became.
For someone who had already learned the Star Energy Construct Secret Method, absorbing, mobilizing, and storing energy in the body was effortless.
His previous approach was only about how to create stronger martial skills, but his talent ultimately could not compare to his sister’s. However, Lu Fanchen had given him a line of thought: do not pursue Technique, only pursue pure energy, using enormous energy to make up for a lack of Technique.
This might be difficult for others, but for him it was not, especially since making an external energy storage device was far easier than manufacturing the latest coilgun.
After only one day, Yi Ye Fu Yun had completed an external energy storage device. It was a weapon made from C-grade alloy.
It was a spear inlaid with a large number of energy crystals inside. Once triggered with internal force, it could immediately activate the energy crystals within, greatly accelerating energy convergence. Moreover, by spinning it, he could further expand the range and speed of energy absorption, though this part required his active control.
“Let’s test you,” Yi Ye Fu Yun looked at the Intermediate Combat Puppet in the Intermediate Training Room, eyes full of excitement.
When Yi Ye Fu Yun Rented the Intermediate Training Room, it was soon packed outside with players who wanted to Rent it as well. One by one, they all wanted to test the effect after mastering the Shocking God Meditation Technique, making the previously underused Intermediate Training Rooms suddenly lively and crowded.
“What new weapon has Yi Ye built this time?” Fang Zhen, whose head had exploded four times, asked curiously as he looked toward Twilight of the Gods, who had been in line early.
“No idea,” Twilight of the Gods shook their head, their head only having exploded once with great difficulty. “But Yi Ye seems to have gone all-in this time, melting down several sets of Tier 2 Battle Armor.”
“That ruthless?” Fang Zhen looked in surprise at the silver-gray spear in Yi Ye Fu Yun’s hands inside.
At this moment, the spear in Yi Ye Fu Yun’s hands looked nothing like an ordinary spear. It was extremely thick. Rather than holding a spear, it looked more like he was holding a very long rocket launcher.
And for such a weapon, he had melted several sets of Tier 2 Battle Armor. Even Fang Zhen felt heartache at the sight.
Tier 2 Battle Armor was currently the best battle armor. Even Blood Condensation Realm bosses would need some time to destroy it. Not to mention Tier 2 Battle Armor can weaken impacts, and the Martial Arts Hall currently could not repair Tier 2 Battle Armor, so they would not put Tier 2 Battle Armor up for Sale. Each Team that damaged one lost one.
“Old Zhen, how many explosions have you had? How is your martial skill research going? Can you create a Sequence Extraordinary Level martial skill?” Twilight of the Gods looked at Fang Zhen with some expectation. “Now, thanks to the Shocking God Meditation Technique, the agility system and control system have been greatly strengthened, while the strength system has not gained much. We are all counting on you and Captain Li.”
“Four so far. The result is pretty good. With the huge improvement to my spirit, my control over qi and blood and energy has also risen several tiers,” Fang Zhen said proudly. “I’m now confident I can make the condensed lion move. As for how powerful it is, I don’t know yet. I still need to test it.”
On his fourth head explosion, he felt as if he had been reborn. Whether in control over his body, his internal qi and blood, or perception of surrounding energy, all had risen to a new level.
He even felt that if his head exploded a few more times, something in his brain would almost crawl out.
Unfortunately, no matter how he tried now, he could not make his head explode a fifth time. His exploding spirit seemed to have adapted to the phantom’s impact and now needed a new kind of stimulus.
But he currently had no method to shatter his spirit more thoroughly, so he could only stop at the four-explosion level.
“Four explosions?”
Twilight of the Gods looked at Fang Zhen in shock, not expecting him to be a four-explosion expert. Among the Bone Forging Realm experts, there were only a handful at that level.
“Yeah. Yi Ye is starting,” Fang Zhen said casually, looking toward Yi Ye Fu Yun inside with curiosity about how effective the new weapon would be.
At this moment, in the Intermediate Training Room, Yi Ye Fu Yun first took a deep breath, then leaped into the air. The spear and his body spun crazily in midair, at such speed that it stirred up a small tornado.
After several seconds, Yi Ye Fu Yun also activated his Transcendent State. His whole skin flushed scarlet, his body swelling several times larger, but he continued to spin.
“Phantom, manifest for me!”
Feeling his limit, Yi Ye Fu Yun unleashed all his qi and blood.
Boom!
In an instant, a Giant Figure over three hundred meters tall appeared directly above the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall, overlooking the entire hall. The terrifying energy it released caused all martial artists within a radius of five to six hundred meters to collapse to the ground, unable to move at all. Only Bone Forging Realm Martial Artists could barely hold on.
This scene was clearly visible to everyone outside the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall and shocked them all. They had no idea what was happening inside.
(The chapter ends.)
