Him and their stars

"I feel like I'm going to be suffocated by cotton." Yu Lian laughed.

"Very good, let's warm up in this state. Then you can spar with me." Tantai Jing said, "When you adapt to this state, your control over psychic powers will be even better."

Yu Lian nodded and asked again: "What kind of trick is this?"

He really liked this feeling of being majestic and yet able to control the enemy invisibly. He was sure that this was also a thrilling feeling, indicating that he really wanted to learn it.

"You want to learn? I'll call you." Tantai Jing showed a teachable expression and continued to explain:

"This is a locking skill used to suppress psykers. It is a psychic martial skill developed by the teacher in the past two years. The physical strength and psychic power required are not too demanding. You should be able to learn it at the third ring. If Once you practice to a great level, you can achieve miraculous effects even against opponents with seven or eight rings. Moreover, this is different from the so-called acupuncture and grappling techniques in traditional martial arts. It cuts off the enemy's ability to move based on the direction of the spiritual veins. This What does it mean?"

This means that no matter what kind of creature, as long as it has psychic powers, it is useful!

What does it mean to be a great master? Yu Lian wanted to retreat tactically, and sincerely bow to his "mentor" whom he had never met before, offering him a cup of tea or something.

"It must have a cool name, right?"

There was a moment of hesitation on the senior brother's face, and then he whispered: "Zhengyang Juegen Hand!"

There seemed to be a bit of humiliation in his expression, as if I was going to be humiliated and played with.

...Yu Lian didn't feel any shame at all, but he just felt that the style of painting didn't fit well with the overall background of the universe.

"Actually, it would be better if the two words full of malice at the end were cancelled, and only the words at the front were taken." Yu Liandao.

"I've said so too. However, Master said that if you use this method without practicing to a certain level, you can certainly take down the opponent, but it is also very likely to destroy the opponent's spiritual veins. Need to We know that the place where the circulation of spiritual veins is the smoothest is often the place where the vitality is the most abundant. This is usually near the reproductive organs of living things... The teacher said that the reason why the word "extermination" is added is to let us understand, Even if it is a capture technique, it is still a martial art that can definitely kill and injure others, so you must learn to be cautious."

Yu Lian understood immediately. If this set of "Zhengyang Fingers" is used by an accomplished master like Senior Brother, it will only make people feel like they are lying in a pile of soft cotton, but if it is used by that naughty kid who is not good at kung fu, it will be very difficult. It is possible to blow the enemy into a useless person and gain momentum.

How cruel! No wonder this is a great master! Yu Lian wanted to retreat even more tactically,

Then, Tantai Jing added: "But the official name is Xingpu Jie Shou, or Jie Shou for short. I have already registered it."

"This was started by Master," Yu Lian said. Although he has never met Mr. Lan until now, he can already call him "Master" as a matter of course.

"Yes, that's why I want you to remember the first name. In front of the teacher, call it the first one. To others, call it the second name."

In short, the name is what it is. Although Yu Lian really wants to learn this new trick, his senior brother said that only when he can really control psychic energy directly, he will teach him everything he has.

Having said that, what else can we do? It can only be done.

In the following days, Yu Lian completely regarded himself as a newbie, starting with the simplest muscle training. Because he had the "amputation" debuff on him, even this ordinary fitness training volume would make him exhausted every time. He also experienced the feeling of soreness in his back and pain in his hands and feet for the first time in a long time.

Then, he had to fight against Tantai Jing in this state. Both of them fought with an output that would never hurt the hull of the ship or Major Poppas who was watching the battle from the side. They fought until one side could no longer hold on.

Surprisingly, Yu Lian, who was paralyzed on the ground, could really feel that his grasp of subtle spiritual powers had indeed improved significantly, and he suddenly felt miraculous.

"From a scientific point of view, after strenuous exercise, muscle cells are stretched apart. Then when a low-intensity battle begins, the spiritual factors will not burst out immediately to form a supernatural battle phenomenon outside the body, but flow inside the body. Slowly penetrate into the cells. In this way, the subtle control of spiritual energy will naturally improve."

It’s truly a spiritual seminar! Is this the legendary scientific way to explain the operating rules of psychic energy? I really can’t help but love you!

In any case, Yu Lian grew up very quickly, and Tantai Jing taught the "finger amputation" technique frankly, without even avoiding Major Poppas who was present.

The major was a little restless, always feeling that he was secretly learning the community's number one martial art and the secret code of the spiritual cultivation sect (why is this banned)? This was not about stealing watermelon from the landowner's house, but directly eating it from the imperial army's house. of watermelon. He proposed to avoid it first.

Tantai Jing waved his hand indifferently: "It doesn't matter. You don't have psychic powers, and you don't know how to combine psychic powers with physical strength. Even if you learn these tricks, you won't be able to get into the battle."

Indeed, without the existence of spiritual energy, most of the gorgeous and complicated martial arts in this universe that look like dancing are just fancy tricks with no practical significance.

"However, you can practice, just think of it as physical exercise. In fact, most of the superb spiritual martial arts, except for those too difficult movements, you can learn without any problem, and you can strengthen your body and prolong your life." Dan Tai Jing smiled again and said: "Besides, the teacher also said that if the physical fitness techniques improved by psychic martial arts are spread, it may be able to improve the life level of the whole name. Maybe the psychic awakening rate of the entire race will be increased. ”

Major Poppas was deeply moved when he heard this. He felt that the masters of the Spiritual Research Society were indeed generous and open-minded masters, and Master Lan was indeed the protector of the people of our planet!

Yu Lian thought more, and suddenly became energetic.

"In short, what he and Mr. Mei have done most is to simplify the profound spiritual martial arts skills of the Spiritual Research Institute, such as the 'Thirteen Styles of Star Dou', the 'Six Paths of Promise', and the 'Twilight Embers'. There are radio gymnastics that adults and children can learn.”

The first two are nothing more. The last one, "Embers of Dusk", I remember was Mr. Lan's killer move specially developed for the war mad Natalia Elenko! Once activated, the doomsday flames will cover the sky, as if dusk has fallen and eternal night is approaching. In the subsequent war, Erinko, who was at the peak of the seventh ring, used this move to leapfrog and kill the "Black General", one of the thirteen sides of the fighting faction who was already at the eighth ring, and broke through in one fell swoop.

Yu Lian was lucky enough to learn one and a half moves in his previous life, but it was always difficult to grasp its true essence. He had to admit that this kind of martial arts was really designed for the kind of martial arts that would dare even the spirits of the universe once they got the upper hand. Prepared by the fierce warriors.

All in all, is this kind of thing... really suitable for teaching to children?

Well, that's not the point. The point is that the attitude of Mr. Lan and Ms. Mei is epoch-making. If he and his two old men were here, Yu Lian was afraid that he would not be able to help but say something like, "Have you ever felt that the universe has stopped?" and so on...

Again, as long as spiritual energy is viewed as a tool rather than a divine power, it is inherently revolutionary.

Anyway, back to the topic, after about two days, Yu Lian basically mastered the routine of amputating the fingers and the technique of generating energy. If he wants to continue to practice to a higher level, he needs to work hard on his own.

As for Major Poppas next to him, he only learned the simplified "fitness routine" for nearly a week, and every time he did the movements, he howled as if he had been thrown into the frying pan. Even so, the senior brother praised the major for his good studies, good physical condition, not afraid of hardship and pain, and working hard. In terms of pure martial arts talent, he is actually above the average.

Although the learning process was painful, the major felt that his waist no longer ached, his legs were no sore, and his mental state was much better than before. He was once again in awe of the spiritual seminar.

"Can I incorporate this into Marine Corps physical training?" he asked.

"You don't have to say anything about this, it has to be decided by the National Defense Committee, right?" Yu Liandao.

The major was stunned for a moment, but then said that he would still apply with his superiors.

Yu Lian is not very optimistic about it. You must know that the military drills used by the Marine Corps today are actually left over from the colonial era of the empire. They have a good foundation to begin with, and new things are being added all the time. But the problem is, no matter how good the plan is, someone has to execute it, right?

After all, I am a seasoned veteran, and I can be considered an expert in psychic martial arts. Naturally, I can learn much faster than a beginner. But from the perspective of the senior brother, he only felt that it was the God Blessing Spiritual Research Association that allowed him to meet such a talented person. As expected, the Spiritual Research Society can still fight for another five hundred years! Wow!

Tantai Jing told Yu Lian that his visit to the empire was indeed necessary for state affairs and that he was indeed very interested in Yu Lian. Now that he saw how "genius" Yu Lian was, he felt that his trip was even more worthwhile.

"I'm trying to break through the seventh ring now, but I couldn't find anyone to refer to for a while, so I thought of you. You are also balanced, and you should be the first one to successfully complete the ring promotion ceremony in the virtual realm in the third ring. Bar?"

Yu Lian nodded, at least this was the first one recorded in the currently known history of extraordinary beings. As for whether there are any ancestors from ancient civilizations, I don't know.

"How do you feel when you complete the ritual in the virtual realm?"

Seeing that his senior brother was interested, Yu Lian thought about it seriously, but still felt that his memory was vague. He can still clearly remember the scene when he awakened and rose to the second and third rings, but he was only a little vague about the state when the third ring rose to the fourth ring.

He could remember that in the invisible gray fog, he once again saw the light of the star ring projecting traces on the gloomy dome. The traces between the light and shadow formed a scale-like trajectory, like the projection of some constellation.

Then, the light of that constellation became brighter and brighter, dispersing the gray fog. Within the envelope of white light, he regained control over his mind and body, and entered a higher transcendent realm.

In addition, all the details seem to be covered in the chaos of memory, making it difficult to capture.

Yu Lian asked the senior sister and several senior brothers about this issue, but learned that they also encountered the same situation.

"I personally think that this is actually the existence of the virtual realm itself, a kind of protection for the source of truth." The only Buddhist priest, Kalai Jin, explained in more detail with his own understanding: "You also know that we recognize that , in the field of spiritual energy, the virtual realm is closer to the source of transcendent truth than the material world. This is also the reason why we will get greater improvement when we advance in the virtual realm. However, these are the things that linger in the virtual realm. What is given to you by the ubiquitous spiritual energy is not acquired by yourself. I personally feel that if the spiritual power becomes stronger, these vague details will gradually become clear, and this is something that belongs to you. "

Yu Lian was amazed when he heard this, thinking that I had never played in the virtual world in my previous life, and indeed I still missed a lot of things, so he asked again: "Are you clear about it?"

"No! I also said it, it's just my personal opinion."

"..."

"Then what can be done? I have only recently broken through to the sixth level. When it comes to experience in leveling up in the virtual realm, we have almost the same experience. However, you can ask Irene Co. She has been here twice."

"I saw a lot of fire." Miss Natalia Elenko put her hands on her hips, revealing her fangs that seemed to be glowing with fire, then she patted Yu Lian on the shoulder and smiled broadly: "What are you thinking about? Do you know what it means that Tao follows nature? The harder you try to think about it, the less likely you are to remember it! Tao follows nature, do you understand?"

Yu Lian felt that he was actually taught by a golden-haired Russian girl to behave naturally. This kind of insult was still too strong, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"The above, this is everything I felt in the virtual realm." Yu Lian told Tantai Jing exactly what he perceived at the beginning and the subsequent conversation.

"Well, it feels almost the same as when I was promoted to the sixth ring!" Tantai Jing stroked his chin thoughtfully: "After that promotion, I felt that the strength of my spiritual energy had increased beyond normal. In terms of the durability of the spiritual circulation of the guru’s sect, I am even confident that I can compete with Kalai.”

The intuitive explanation is that the effect of the senior brother's promotion to the sixth ring in the virtual realm is to gain blue bars and magic attacks comparable to those of a pure magician.

"What about you?" he asked.

"I'm not sure. I always feel that the improvement in all aspects is beyond the norm...but the most obvious one is probably the health bar." Yu Lian said in an uncertain tone.

It took the senior brother, who probably didn't play games very much, two seconds to finally figure out what the health bar meant, but he nodded thoughtfully: "It's possible."

"?"

"It is said that the direction in which spiritual energy strengthens our bodies and minds does not only depend on the star ring path. In some cases, it also depends on our attitude and expectations."

What's the meaning? Am I essentially a war freak? Ah no, if we really want to fight, wouldn't it be strength and agility that we need to strengthen? It turns out that I am actually a MT who shakes pussy? And it’s the kind that’s so satisfying?

Yu Lian felt that he was deeply offended. Just when he was about to say something, he saw Tantai Jing muttered: "The information is unknown... I can only try to capture as much information as possible the next time you and I upgrade."

He raised his head and said sincerely to Yu Lian: "Junior brother, I think whether we can complete the inheritance behind the seventh ring of balance depends on how much we can get from the virtual realm. And those who can help me, It’s just you.”

Tantai Jing is indeed a calm, honest, open-minded and stable person, and he is indeed the best candidate to serve as the second generation core of the Spiritual Research Association. But even though he is like this, he still has his own ambition.

If he could complete the "Balance" star ring, which has only seven known pinnacles, would he be able to surpass even Mr. Lan in terms of quality as a grandmaster of his generation?
