Chapter 56
Chapter 56
"Hello."
Lin Yuan smiled and looked at the other person with curiosity. Very little of Loulan He's personal information was revealed. Besides his name, only his place of residence was known.
"Thunder Rain Star Field?" (Or Thunderstorm)
This is a highly distant star field from the Red Kun Star Field. Lin Yuan knows little about it. However, offering one hundred million civilization coins for just an hour of guidance, Loulan He is undoubtedly wealthy.
"How does Master Yuan plan to guide?"
Loulan He asked.
"You've paid, so you call the shots," Lin Yuan said very politely. One hundred million for an hour means nearly thirty thousand civilization coins per second. Lin Yuan received tens of thousands of civilization coins with just the sentence he said a moment ago.
"Then let's have a battle."
"Father said that powerful evolution paths surely have excellent combat capabilities."
Loulan He took a few steps back, and his gaze gradually became sharp.
"Master Yuan, be careful. Although this body hasn't been specifically cultivated, it is naturally powerful and not inferior to most Second Rank Evolvers."
Loulan He reminded.
"Come on," Lin Yuan said with a calm gaze.
Loulan He didn't give him a dangerous feeling.
Swoosh.
Loulan He's figure disappeared.
In the next moment, he appeared by Lin Yuan's side and threw a punch.
"So fast."
Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised. He could see that this was pure physical speed, without using any other abilities.
Facing the punch from Loulan He, Lin Yuan lifted his right hand to block it, and then activated the Tao of Tai Chi, borrowing all the force from the punch and directly slamming it onto Loulan He.
Bang.
Loulan He's figure flew backward and landed fiercely dozens of meters away. He immediately got up from the ground and stared at Lin Yuan with widened eyes.
"What kind of technique is this? Why does it feel so soft? Why do I feel like the punch I just threw ended up on my own body?"
Loulan He was somewhat annoyed. If he had been absolutely crushed by force, he could accept it. However, the feeling of just falling short made Loulan He feel like he could have won.
"Come again."
Loulan He's figure disappeared once more.
Lin Yuan smiled faintly. The Tao of Tai Chi excels at borrowing force to strike back. Loulan He, who only knows how to use strength and speed without any skill, is easily countered by the Tao of Tai Chi.
Although "one force can overcome ten," Loulan He is far from reaching that level at this moment.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Loulan He roared loudly, and his speed soared again. The mysterious patterns on his forehead faintly lit up. (Ah! Ah! Ah! Kimochii! :-:)
This time, Loulan He became smarter and didn't immediately attack Lin Yuan. Instead, he approached from behind Lin Yuan, completely in the blind spot of his vision, before striking.
Bang.
As expected, without any surprises.
Loulan He flew backward once again.
"I don't believe it."
With a swift motion, Loulan He stood up. If this were in the real world, Loulan He's body would have been severely damaged by now. However, this is a virtual world, and with just a thought, his body is restored to its original state.
Chirp.
Loulan He rushed to Lin Yuan, threw a punch at his shoulder, but for some reason, Loulan He felt as if there was a vortex within Lin Yuan's body. All external forces were completely absorbed into the vortex and returned unchanged.
Bang.
Loulan He crashed a hundred meters away.
"Don't rely only on strength," Lin Yuan reminded.
In a normal fight, an opponent like Loulan He wouldn't even be able to enter Lin Yuan's range. However, since Loulan He spent a considerable amount of money to consult Lin Yuan, it was not possible to treat him like an ordinary opponent. Lin Yuan tried to guide him, allowing him to experience the 'vortex' of the Tao of Tai Chi up close.
To make Loulan He have a more profound understanding, Lin Yuan deliberately suppressed his strength to the First Rank level.
Boom.
Boom.
Boom.
Time after time, each time Loulan He was sent flying, spitting blood.
This made Loulan He feel exceptionally frustrated.
Why does it always fall just short?
Just a little bit more.
Finally.
"Stop."
"No more, no more."
Loulan He sat on the ground.
Then, he had the AI assistant analyze the footage of their recent battle.
"Are you saying Master Yuan used only First Rank strength throughout?"
Through the AI assistant's analysis, Loulan He was suddenly astonished. He was well aware that his body's prototype, derived from an extremely rare and special race deep in the universe, was exchanged by his father at a great cost. With this special race's replicated body, his potential was immense, and his talent was terrifying, reaching the level of a Second Rank Evolver without any formal cultivation.
Yet, Master Yuan used only First Rank strength to hang him up and beat him?
"Master Yuan, is this the path of martial arts evolution?"
Loulan He immediately ran to Lin Yuan.
"Yes."
"This is the Tao of Tai Chi," Lin Yuan nodded slightly.
"The Tao of Tai Chi is not a path of strength; it leans more toward the grand trend."
Lin Yuan patiently explained.
"Understood."
Loulan He seemed to understand vaguely.
"In that case, I will infuse a trace of Tai Chi power into your body. It can last for a month, and you can ponder this Tai Chi power in your daily life, which will be beneficial for practicing the Tao of Tai Chi."
Lin Yuan smiled. This method is somewhat similar to sensing the sun and moon within the True Martial Sword.
However, with Lin Yuan's current strength, it is challenging for Tai Chi power to exist outside the body for an extended period. Still, it is sufficient for Loulan He.
"Good."
Loulan He nodded.
At this moment, he developed a strong interest in the path of martial arts evolution.
He, Loulan He, also wanted to be as cool as Lin Yuan, being able to send enemies flying with ease while standing still.
So cool.
Seeing that Loulan He agreed, Lin Yuan placed his right hand on Loulan He's shoulder.
A strand of Tai Chi power, a combination of Yin and Yang forces, slowly entered Loulan He's body.
As Tai Chi power entered Loulan He's body, Lin Yuan's perception naturally extended into it.
"What is this?"
Lin Yuan's pupils slightly contracted.
Loulan He's body, while similar to a normal human body, is fundamentally different.
Lin Yuan sensed that countless blood vessels in the body intertwined, forming a special pattern. Deep within the organs, at the microscopic level of cell layers, countless runes were flowing.
All of this formed a perfect balance, tightly bound within one body.
"Perfect."
"Truly perfect."
Lin Yuan couldn't help but become immersed.
[Your insight is extraordinary. Watching an unknown body, you gain some understanding.]
Countless spiritual lights flowed into Lin Yuan's mind as he began to comprehend Loulan He's unique physique.
Lin Yuan had a feeling that once he thoroughly understood this body, he could enhance the essence of his own physical body. This had great significance for Lin Yuan.
On a closer note, improving the physique in the main world would boost his basic strength and speed in the future. On a broader scale, every time Lin Yuan's consciousness descended into a body during his interdimensional travels, he could benefit from this.
In the second interdimensional travel, if Lin Yuan could comprehend the essence of such a body, it would be impossible for him to be thrown into the wilderness and encounter a life-threatening situation shortly after birth.
With this body as a prototype, Lin Yuan would only need a few hours to complete the transformation of a baby's body. At that time, he might not be as strong as an adult, but at least he wouldn't be much weaker.
"Master Yuan, are you okay?"
Seeing that Lin Yuan hadn't removed his right hand from Loulan He's shoulder for a long time, Loulan He became somewhat puzzled.
"I'm fine. Your physique is somewhat special. It needs some time."
Lin Yuan casually found a reason and looked at Loulan He's body, his eyes filled with excitement.
This made Loulan He a bit nervous, but considering Lin Yuan's strength in beating him just now, he stood obediently in place.
Half an hour later, Lin Yuan reluctantly withdrew his hand.
"Done."
Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he hadn't completely understood Loulan He's physique, Lin Yuan had memorized all the structures of the body. The rest was to go back and continue comprehending.
"Good. Thank you, Master Yuan."
Loulan He also felt the trace of 'Tai Chi power' in his body.
"The time is up. If I have any questions in the future, I will still consult Master Yuan."
Loulan He felt that he had gained a lot. Little did he know that Lin Yuan had seen through everything, including his underwear.
Water Moon Community.
Residence No. 32.
Underground training ground.
Lin Yuan severed his connection to the virtual world. Loulan He's various mysteries within his body still lingered in Lin Yuan's mind.
"This is truly... truly heaven-defying."
Lin Yuan couldn't help but marvel. Using the Gate to traverse two worlds, he spent a hundred years in cultivation, reaching the Second Rank. In contrast, this body, born not long ago, could effortlessly grow to the Second Rank.
It was simply abnormal.
"This body probably isn't a pure human body."
Lin Yuan speculated, during his comprehension, he could vaguely sense the ancient and vast meaning contained within.
"Regardless."
"As long as I comprehend it, it's mine."
Lin Yuan closed his eyes and continued to comprehend.
In the following time, Lin Yuan allocated some of his energy for comprehending the Third Rank specifically for understanding the mysteries of this body. He aimed to completely comprehend this body's essence before the third interdimensional travel. This way, even if his consciousness landed in a baby's body, he wouldn't be as defenseless as during the last interdimensional travel.
Two months passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, Loulan He sought Lin Yuan's guidance twice, paying a total of two hundred million.
Lin Yuan took the opportunity to observe Loulan He's body carefully, getting closer to comprehending the essence of this body.
One day, Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, concluding today's closed-door cultivation.
Because.
The arena competition in Canglan Star had begun.
