Chapter 295: I Can Make The Water Scroll?
Finding the exit of the secret room, Ai Ke only then realized that he was currently at the top of a tower, and his position was exactly at the tower’s peak.
Standing by the window, Ai Ke gazed into the distance.
This was a tower over four hundred meters tall.
“Phew! Be careful, you should be able to get back.” Ai Ke encouraged himself.
With Ideal Power, even if this was an advanced secret realm, Ai Ke was confident he could leave alive.
………..
The villa was destroyed, but Lu Li didn’t feel heartbroken about it; what he felt pain over was the supplies left in the villa.
Fortunately, he had made a storage ring in advance, and most of his possessions were kept in the ring, otherwise this time he would really have suffered a huge loss.
Upholding the idea that the old must go before the new can come, Lu Li decided to rebuild the villa and expand it at the same time.
For this, Lu Li specifically asked Qu Tongtong to find the top construction company in the southern region.
Lu Li decided to upgrade the villa to a manor, Yao Yifei supported this, and Wei didn’t object either, since she was entirely focused on training.
The only request was that the new manor have a better training ground.
The beautiful manager wearing black-framed glasses said respectfully: “Young Master Lu Li, there’s something I need to tell you in advance.”
Lu Li nodded, signaling for her to speak.
“Although our company can build an ecological training ground, the construction cost of an ecological training ground is very expensive, and the maintenance cost is also high. Are you sure you want to build an ecological training ground?” the beautiful manager confirmed again.
“Money is not an issue.” Lu Li nodded.
He didn’t lack money now; if he really needed some, he could completely ask Qu Tongtong to exchange secret treasures or Pokémon eggs for money.
“The price of one ecological training ground is around 20 million, eight of them would be 160 million, and the annual maintenance cost would also be as high as a million.” The beautiful manager continued explaining the drawbacks of the ecological training ground.
“I can accept that.” Lu Li was not deterred by this astonishing price; he had already looked into these matters when he decided to build the ecological training ground.
The beautiful manager nodded and continued: “Then we have no problem here, but since you want to build eight ecological training grounds, we suggest you simply build a small ecological park.”
“The price of one small ecological park is actually about the same as eight ecological training grounds, but if you combine the two, the cost will only be around 200 million, and even the annual maintenance fee will be the same.”
“Then let’s build an ecological park as well.” Lu Li nodded.
After arranging the construction plan for the manor, Lu Li fully devoted himself to the Pokémon training plan.
Over these past few days, Lu Li did not assign himself the tasks given to him, but instead kept honing his synergy with Charizard and the others, as well as understanding the changes in their strength.
A week passed in the blink of an eye. Although the ecological training ground was not yet completed, the villa was already habitable.
Lu Li, who had joyfully moved into the new home, made a sumptuous dinner that evening to celebrate.
If it were before, Wei would definitely turn into a big eater, but since the last attack incident, aside from training to get stronger, Wei had been somewhat absent-minded about everything else.
Even facing the delicacies made by Lu Li, she was somewhat absent-minded.
This attack incident also made Wei realize how weak her strength was, and she put all her effort into training.
But effort-type players cannot compare to talent-type players.
Although Kubfu was a divine beast, that was after it evolved; before evolving, Kubfu was actually just average.
After all, Kubfu’s base stat total was only 385.
That evening, in order to become stronger, Wei finally knocked on the door of Lu Li’s bedroom.
Lu Li, who had just finished studying, opened the door and looked at Wei in confusion. A girl knocking on a boy’s bedroom door late at night made Lu Li involuntarily think of some improper things.
To be honest, Wei was not his type.
Wei had a great figure, but here “great” did not refer to sexy, but rather athletic, and secondly, Wei was too androgynous.
He hadn’t even touched Yao Yifei, let alone Wei.
“Come in.” Lu Li stepped aside.
Wei silently entered the bedroom.
Wei nervously clenched her fists, then carefully asked: “I remember you said my Kubfu is a legendary divine beast.”
Seeing that the other party was not there to covet his beauty, Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Wei wasn’t there to offer warmth, since he was a man who didn’t really know how to refuse.
“To be precise, Kubfu’s evolved form is a divine beast.” Lu Li explained.
A flash of confusion crossed Wei’s face.
Lu Li asked in return: “Have you heard of the story of the Diamond Princess?”
Wei nodded. As a standard Westerner, even if she was a tough girl, Wei had heard the story of the princess of the Diamond Kingdom.
After all, which girl didn’t have a princess dream when she was little?
Lu Li explained: “Diancie, known as the Diamond Princess, is a divine beast, but it is actually a variant of Carbink.”
“What?”
Hearing this secret, Wei couldn’t help but exclaim.
Diancie evolved from a mutation of Carbink; if this news got out, it would definitely cause a shock in the academic world.
After the shock, Wei suddenly realized: “You mean my Kubfu is equivalent to a Carbink?”
Lu Li shook his head: “No, Diancie is a variant of Carbink, but Fighting Bear is not a variant of Kubfu, but its evolved form.”
Hearing this, Wei also breathed a sigh of relief, since evolution was always easier than mutation.
“Then how does Kubfu evolve?” Wei asked excitedly.
“Have you heard of martial arts from the Jiuzhou Region?” Lu Li still answered indirectly.
“Martial arts from the Jiuzhou Region? I’ve heard of it, but I’ve never actually seen it.”
Wei shook her head. As a fighting type trainer, she had of course heard of martial arts from the Jiuzhou Region, but its inheritance required a master, just like the secret techniques of the noble families.
The whole world knew that martial arts greatly boosted fighting type trainers, but 99.999% of fighting trainers worldwide had never thought of using martial arts to enhance their Pokémon’s strength.
And the secrecy of martial arts inheritance was almost no less than that of the noble families for their secret techniques.
Lu Li didn’t hold back and directly stated his guess.
“I can only say that Kubfu must step into martial arts to evolve, and must achieve something in martial arts, at least to the level of a grandmaster.”
“Martial arts… Fighting Bear…”
After carefully pondering Lu Li’s words, Wei fell into thought.
Watching Wei deep in thought, Lu Li didn’t interrupt.
In anime or games, Kubfu’s evolution requirement was to learn a martial arts style from the Water Scroll or Evil Scroll.
But in this real world, it might not be the case, because he had never heard any news about Fighting Bear, and not even Gimmighoul had information on Fighting Bear, so there was only one possibility: this world might never have produced a Fighting Bear.
Perhaps the so-called Water Scroll or Evil Scroll didn’t even exist.
However, based on speculation from the anime, the appearance of Fighting Bear was definitely tied to martial arts artistic conception. If the first Fighting Bear born could master authority, it might be partial martial arts authority.
To be honest, Lu Li actually wanted to raise a Kubfu too.
Lu Li comforted her from the side: “Don’t be too anxious. I’ve already been helping you search for martial arts inheritance in the Jiuzhou Region.”
Wei nodded, knowing her mindset wasn’t right now, but thinking of Bao Bao being captured right in front of her made her unable to calm down.
Speaking of martial arts…
Lu Li suddenly remembered something.
Before crossing, he had learned fist techniques for a while, but they were all for performance.
After cultivating immortality, his memory had improved a lot, and he remembered the previous fist techniques clearly.
A flash of inspiration suddenly struck Lu Li’s mind.
Perhaps something could be tried.
Thinking of this, Lu Li stood up abruptly.
“I’ve thought of something. I’ll go into seclusion first. Don’t worry about Kubfu; maybe I’ll think of a way soon.”
After arriving in the basement, Lu Li impatiently took out A4 paper and kept drawing on it.
Eight Extremities Fist ≈ One Hit Flow.
Wing Chun ≈ Rapid Strike Flow.
If he could practice these two fist techniques to the grandmaster realm and paint their artistic conception into a scroll painting, could Kubfu evolve using that scroll painting?
As for Power of Law?
This wasn’t difficult; Gimmighoul, as the God of a Thousand Faces, could briefly channel Power of Law and infuse it into the scroll painting.
Just like when making the Wellspring Mask last time, Gimmighoul used a Water Law Crystal to infuse the Law of Water and rules into the mask.
The troublesome part now might be the Law Crystal.
And this was just an attempt; it might not succeed.
As for the artistic conception of the fist techniques.
Lu Li wasn’t too worried. As a master-level immortal performer, he could completely portray the fist technique artistic conception into the painting by acting as a fist technique grandmaster.
The Evil Scroll representing One Hit Flow definitely wouldn’t work, since he didn’t have an Evil Crystal now.
But the Water Scroll representing Rapid Strike Flow was different; there were still some leftovers from the Water Crystal Gimmighoul gave last time. Now, as long as Gimmighoul was willing to come help, this might actually work.
If this really succeeded, he would personally create a deity, though it would have the suspicion of pushing the wave, but so what?
Thinking of this, Lu Li wished he could call Gimmighoul over right now.
But this kind of thing couldn’t be done on a whim; he at least needed to verify repeatedly if the plan was feasible.
Gimmighoul couldn’t be used lightly, after all, it was very busy too.
Things that would lower favorability should be avoided if possible; if he really made Gimmighoul come for nothing, it would be more loss than gain.
First, verify the first guess.
Whether he could successfully act as a martial arts grandmaster and infuse martial arts true meaning into the painting.
The essential item for an immortal performer was the Godhead Mask, then using unknown methods to collect the spiritual power revealed when people worship gods, and seal it.
When necessary, perform, perform until others believe, perform until he himself believes, act as a god with his own body, transform into a god with his own body.
This was the occupational ability of an immortal performer, but Lu Li was acting as a martial artist as a cultivator, which was acting above to portray below, and didn’t require the wish power of all beings.
Making a Godhead Mask was also troublesome; before encountering Gimmighoul, that was indeed the case.
But after encountering Gimmighoul, making a Godhead Mask was as simple as eating and drinking for Lu Li.
Gimmighoul was the God of a Thousand Faces, or even the god in charge of masks!
With the forbidden knowledge given by this one, if he couldn’t even Pokémonficate a Godhead Mask, he might as well go hang himself from a crooked tree.
The materials for the Godhead Mask were very simple, not needing rare woods; ordinary trees would do. The difficulty was the pigments.
But there were plenty of pigments left from making the Wellspring Mask last time, enough to meet the needs for making the Godhead Mask.
After calling Beldum and having it guard the doorway, Lu Li began making the Godhead Mask.
But this could be called art, and the most taboo thing was being suddenly disturbed by someone; if external things startled his inspiration, it would be hard to continue.
The making of the Godhead Mask took a full six hours, and it was successfully made at four in the morning the next day.
The Godhead Mask portraying the Wing Chun grandmaster was done; next was to try if he could enter the state.
“This one is Wing Chun—Ip Man!”
“I want to fight ten!”
There was no choice; Lu Li only knew Ip Man regarding Wing Chun, so he could only act as Ip Man.
As for whether Ip Man himself was a Wing Chun grandmaster, that didn’t really matter.
After entering the state, Lu Li seized the fleeting inspiration and quickly picked up rice paper to continuously draw exquisite moves of Wing Chun.
While drawing, Lu Li found the artistic conception was off.
After satisfactorily putting down his brush, Lu Li looked at the fist technique on the paper with great satisfaction.
“Hm?”
Lu Li frowned, realizing the matter wasn’t simple.
This was not Wing Chun, but a fist technique he had never seen in the 3D world. To be precise, he had only seen this in anime, and he himself absolutely did not know it.
“How did good Wing Chun turn into Flowing Water Shattering Rock Fist?” Lu Li was full of doubts.
He was certain that he had previously acted as Ip Man, and the Wing Chun grandmaster Ip Man, definitely not Bang Gu from One Punch Man.
The eyes had form, spirit, and even intent; the only thing lacking was the flow of laws.
This thing needed Gimmighoul’s help.
The so-called infusing laws into the painting was actually connecting the laws and the painting together, finally turning it into part of the world rules.
Gimmighoul’s Wellspring Mask came about this way; the only difference was that when the Wellspring Mask became part of the world rules, it also became part of Gimmighoul.
Considering that Gimmighoul had just left, Lu Li ultimately didn’t have the nerve to call it back.
Glancing at the time and seeing it wasn’t dawn yet, Lu Li simply stayed in the basement to study the Melmetal.
The surface of those nuts was becoming shinier and shinier, even emitting silver radiance under the light.
Most importantly, these nuts had already given birth to faint life essence, which meant gods were gestating.
Unfortunately, though, these Melmetal had no aura of authority or rules, meaning they were only divine beasts, not true deities.
