"Innate Spiritual Body?"
Hearing this unfamiliar term, Lin Lang's heart stirred slightly.
Ouyang Yunzhi raised her head slightly, pacing back and forth in the study, explaining as she walked:
"Innate Spiritual Body refers to a physique that can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth! It is also the threshold for cultivating martial arts!"
"Just a threshold?" Lin Lang was somewhat unconvinced, "What about the ceiling?"
"The ceiling is, of course, the Sacred Body of Martial Arts!"
As she spoke on this topic, Ouyang Yunzhi's eyes seemed to shine!
"The Sacred Body can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with extreme efficiency, something the Spiritual Body cannot compare to!"
"It can also unleash one's potential, strengthening the physical body to a terrifying degree in a short time!"
"In that state, a person, even without any martial training, can exchange blows with a martial arts master purely based on instinct!"
"Moreover! Once the Sacred Body reaches a certain level, it can manipulate spiritual energy to harm enemies from a hundred steps away!"
...
The more Lin Lang listened, the stranger his expression became! Efficient absorption? Invincible form? Manipulating spiritual energy? Wasn't this describing himself?!
Am I the Sacred Body of Martial Arts?! "Uh, you wouldn't understand even if I told you."
Ouyang Yunzhi suddenly stopped in her tracks.
Looking at Lin Lang, she continued, "In any case!"
"Since you are a Spiritual Body and have the qualifications to cultivate martial arts..."
"Then as the martial arts heir, I shall teach you a set of breathing techniques to help you embark on the path of martial arts!"
She looked quite proud, as if she were a wealthy person bestowing charity upon a beggar.
Lin Lang, however, was deep in thought—
No wonder.
Ouyang Yunzhi herself does not have a Superpower Core, yet possesses such high Combat Power!
It all stems from her being a martial artist! Combat Power comes from martial arts, not from Superpowers.
With the mindset that having more skills is never a burden, Lin Lang nodded, "Then I'll trouble you."
Ouyang Yunzhi took out her phone and said, "Add me on WeChat."
After Lin Lang added her on WeChat, he received a file she sent: [Martial Arts Introductory Breathing Techniques (Refined Version)]
"Wow, this is really keeping up with the times."
Lin Lang had thought this "Breathing Technique" would be a martial arts manual or a scroll of parchment.
He didn't expect it to indeed be a manual, but in electronic format? "Alright. The technique is given to you; how far you can cultivate it depends on your own talent!"
After Ouyang Yunzhi finished speaking, she left the study.
Lin Lang, alone in the study, briefly skimmed through the mental mantra.
With his enhanced brain, and perhaps due to the "Sacred Body of Martial Arts" having a natural affinity for martial knowledge—
In any case, he easily memorized all the content.
Upon slight analysis, he discovered—
This so-called Breathing Technique was actually an upgraded version of the meditation method he usually used to absorb Red Mist! He sat cross-legged and tried to run it.
In an instant!
He felt as if he had become an endless black hole, attracting the rolling Red Mist from afar, which surged towards him like a tide! And this time! After the Red Mist entered his body, it spread along his meridians throughout his body.
It was devoured and absorbed by the cells in various parts.
Transformed into a reserve of life energy!
The efficiency of absorbing Red Mist this way was indeed much higher than his previous meditation! "Drawing energy into the body, establishing the foundation of martial arts?"
This phrase inexplicably surfaced in Lin Lang's mind.
This made him even more convinced.
It seemed he had some inexplicable connection with martial arts.
He continued to boldly speculate—
This vast Red Mist must be the spiritual energy Ouyang Yunzhi mentioned!
So this Red Mist crisis is essentially a revival of spiritual energy?
That would also explain why Ouyang Yunzhi said the Red Mist is not a crisis, but a weapon.
Regarding this Breathing Technique, Lin Lang was merely scratching the surface.
He didn't dare to continue absorbing recklessly.
Otherwise, at his current level, he could easily absorb half a neighborhood's worth of Red Mist in one go! Who knows what kind of commotion that would cause!...
In Unit 1, Room 101 of Building E, a simple living room suddenly had a glowing array pattern appear on the floor!
The next moment! An old, hunched figure appeared within it.
As he stood, the light of the array pattern gradually dimmed and disappeared, as if it had never existed.
"The process of spiritual energy revival has been greatly accelerated; could there be some unforeseen change?"
The old man frowned.
Then, an extremely powerful Psychic Power was released!
...
Lin Lang suddenly sensed a powerful Psychic Power occupying the area of Happiness Residential Complex! "Another expert?"
However, although this Psychic Power was strong, it was only strong compared to others.
Lin Lang's Psychic Power was too abnormal.
It had already transcended the realm of ordinary Psychic Powers.
It was basically impossible for him to be broken through by someone else's Psychic Power, or even to be detected! Instead, the owner of that Psychic Power was easily locked onto by Lin Lang: [Ouyang Baili]
[Combat Power: B]
"With the surname Ouyang, super high Combat Power, yet no Superpower Core..."
Lin Lang had a rough idea—
"This must be that little girl's master, the one nicknamed the Millennium Old Monster, right?"
"She should also be a martial cultivator!"
"Combat Power of B, quite rare in the world!"
His aura had suddenly appeared in the neighborhood.
Either he had just arrived.
Or he had been here all along, but had hidden his presence somehow.
Under Lin Lang's Psychic Power surveillance, the old monster stepped out and headed straight towards Lin Lang—
He must be here to find Ouyang Yunzhi.
Before long!
There was a knock at the door.
Then he heard someone open the door, along with Ouyang Yunzhi's surprised voice:
"Old Monster! Why have you emerged from seclusion?!"
"How disrespectful! Call me Master!"
Lin Lang then leisurely got up and walked out of the study.
In the living room, Gu Fei and the other girls were present.
Seeing Lin Lang come in, they all stood behind him.
Ouyang Yunzhi and the old monster stood at the door, resembling a pair of grandfather and granddaughter.
The old monster looked quite ordinary, appearing to be in his sixties or seventies, dressed very simply, like a thin old farmer!
But his eyes were very bright, full of spirit! His gaze swept over everyone present, and he smiled warmly: "Everyone! I apologize for the disturbance!"
"You all have extraordinary appearances; you must be people of great fortune!"
"It is truly an honor for my inferior disciple to meet you all!"
"Especially this young man, he is quite fortunate! These few girls are not only beautiful but also have extraordinary destinies! With them by your side, your life will surely be smooth sailing!"
This sudden compliment caught Gu Fei and the others off guard.
They felt that this old man was quite polite! Ning Shuangyu, who knew his identity, hurriedly greeted him:
"Senior! I am Ning Shuangyu, Deputy Captain of the Vermilion Bird Squad of the Mingyue City Special Operations Bureau! We have come to Happiness Residential Complex to seek your assistance..."
The old monster replied, "Little girl, I'm afraid I can't help you much! I have temporarily emerged from seclusion just to instruct my disciple on a few matters, and I must return shortly!"
"Ah?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Shuangyu's expression darkened.
Ouyang Yunzhi, however, asked in confusion:
"Old Monster, what else do you need to instruct?"
The old monster sighed and said, "This great calamity has unexpectedly changed!"
"Look, the Red Mist here has been almost completely devoured! Such a massive amount of spiritual energy, who knows what terrifying existence it will give birth to!"
"If some alien race is competing for the fortune of our human race, that would be troublesome!"
"The urgent task at hand! You need to quickly spread the Breathing Technique and cultivate more martial artists to cope with the impending apocalyptic crisis!"
Everyone listened in confusion.
Only Lin Lang had a subtle expression—
Absorbing Red Mist?
After all this time.
Is this unforeseen change referring to me?
Then you can rest assured and go back into seclusion!
I am also human, not some alien! Ouyang Yunzhi, upon hearing the old monster's words, looked serious and said:
"Disciple understands!"
"That's good."
After this, the old monster bowed to Ning Shuangyu and said:
"Miss Ning, I still need to go back into seclusion and truly cannot help you! However, you can take Yunzhi with you!"
"My disciple, although her talent is mediocre and her mind is dull, is of little use right now!"
"Her appearance is also average, far inferior compared to you all!"
As he spoke, Ouyang Yunzhi immediately protested, "Old Monster, how can you say such things about your own disciple?!"
The old monster waved his hand to signal her to calm down and continued:
"But all of this is because she has a seal within her! It has sealed her potential!"
"Therefore, I hope you can help find someone with the Sacred Body of Martial Arts in this world to cultivate with her!"
"Only then can her seal be broken, allowing her to be reborn!"
As he spoke, the old monster's gaze intentionally or unintentionally fell on Lin Lang, as if emphasizing to him alone: "After this, she will not only become beautiful! But the one cultivating with her will also benefit!"
"At that time, she will be able to help you all greatly!"
Lü Suran, standing behind Lin Lang, quietly asked, "What does dual cultivation mean?"
Lin Lang calmly replied, "Sleeping together."
"Oh!"
Lü Suran's face turned red, and she stopped speaking.
"Master! Why do you say everything out loud?!"
Ouyang Yunzhi shyly complained.
The old monster sighed, "These few are all people of great fortune! Perhaps your potential is hidden among them! Alright, I must return to seclusion now. Farewell, young friends!"
After saying this, he hurriedly left.
Not leaving a trace behind.
As if he had never been there at all.
And Lin Lang stood in place, looking at Ouyang Yunzhi, this little girl, with an increasingly strange expression.
Giving me the Breathing Technique? The unforeseen change of absorbing Red Mist? Seeking the Sacred Body of Martial Arts? And dual cultivation? Why does it feel like—
This girl is coming for me?!
