41: Chapter 41 Helplessness
Over the next few days.
Ji Yebai continuously consolidated his new Realm.
A Second-rate Martial Artist was a Realm he had craved but could never attain in his previous life.
But now.
In just eight years, he had stepped into it.
It could certainly be called fast.
"For me, this speed is indeed fast!"
"But compared to those Prodigies from my previous life, it is still far from enough!"
Thinking of those Prodigies from his previous life, Ji Yebai sighed softly.
Relying on supreme Opportunity, it took him eight years to enter the Second-rate Realm.
However.
Those people, relying on inferior Opportunity, entered higher Realms in a short time.
Xiantian, or First-class Overlord.
Just thinking about it made one feel helpless.
His Aptitude and bone structure were truly too poor.
However.
Ji Yebai was still full of confidence.
An ordinary person's Lifespan is a hundred years, but after becoming a First-Class Martial Artist, one can use Divine Will to nourish the body and continuously adjust one's physique, thereby extending one's Lifespan.
In Martial Artist cultivation, there are hidden injuries more or less within the body; these hidden injuries are not easily discovered usually, but they are the root cause affecting Lifespan.
When a Martial Artist reaches the First-class Realm, their Divine Will is powerful, allowing them to detect the existence of these hidden injuries.
Using Divine Will to guide Internal Energy, one can continuously repair these hidden injuries.
In this way, one's Lifespan can also be extended somewhat.
But even so, at the First-class Overlord Realm, one can live at most one hundred and fifty years.
Only upon reaching the Xiantian Realm, when the body evolves into a Treasured Body, will the Lifespan be greatly extended.
"At the Xiantian Realm, the Lifespan is at least two hundred years, and one can rejuvenate, with bodily functions returning to their absolute Peak."
A smile tugged at the corners of Ji Yebai's mouth.
He was in a pleasant mood.
In this regard, one has to admire the magnanimity of his country in his previous life.
As a major power, as the most prosperous source of martial arts, it was the first to break convention, compiling top-secret information on the path of martial arts into the General Outline of Martial Arts and publishing it to the world.
In the new era, it immediately secured its status as a major power, becoming a martial arts superpower.
It even forced the major power across the ocean to have no choice but to frantically accelerate the spread of martial arts.
"Martial arts cultivation cannot be interfered with by technology; one cannot directly create high-level Martial Artists!"
Ji Yebai suddenly recalled some information he knew from his previous life.
In his previous life, the major power across the ocean attempted to manufacture Advanced Martial Artists using genetic means.
But unfortunately.
All attempts involving First-Class Martial Artist or Xiantian Martial Artist levels ended in failure.
Even the test subjects that survived became vegetative.
The reason being that for First-Class Martial Artists and Xiantian Martial Artists, their cells contain will; if they lose this will, the cells lose their Divine Will.
In the end, they only managed to create genes at the Second-rate Martial Artist level.
But it cost a huge amount and required one year to fully achieve Fusion.
But these people would forever lose the qualification to advance.
Choosing this path would ultimately be a dead end.
"In my previous life, the country's choice to publish the General Outline of Martial Arts, allowing the entire populace to participate in cultivation, and even promoting global cultivation, was truly a grand vision!"
Ji Yebai even felt a bit proud.
For the grand vision of his own country.
Actively promoting the arrival of a glorious era of martial arts, creating a situation where "a hundred flowers bloom and a thousand boats race," continuously allowing martial arts to innovate and raising the Peak of martial arts.
"The Xiantian Realm probably isn't the end of martial arts..."
Ji Yebai's thoughts fluctuated.
In his previous life, the time since the dawn of martial arts was ultimately too short; the path of martial arts only reached the Xiantian Realm.
"Thinking about this now is a bit too early!"
Ji Yebai suddenly laughed speechlessly.
"Let me first achieve the Xiantian Realm before talking about the future!"
He took a deep breath and cast his thoughts aside.
Ji Yebai slowly closed his eyes, his Five Elements Internal Energy circulating within his body, and a five-colored halo appeared around him, making him look like an immortal.
In this state, he was in harmony with heaven and earth.
He could use Spiritual Qi to elevate his five senses to an extremely keen level.
He could even hear the sound of water droplets a hundred meters away.
Leaves falling, insects crawling, flowers blooming... everything resonated in his ears, forming pleasant natural sounds.
For a moment, Ji Yebai was immersed in it, unable to extricate himself.
Until a few days later.
Ji Yebai's cultivation was interrupted.
"Who is it again?!"
Ji Yebai slowly opened his eyes; he heard some subtle sounds approaching.
...
Meanwhile.
A tall figure was standing on the mountaintop.
"Hansen Cornell had his accident right here!?"
Victor muttered to himself.
He had evolved half a year ago after accidentally hunting a cheetah.
He inherited the characteristics of a cheetah.
Although his speed was fast, his strength was not great.
Therefore, he rarely went out to cause trouble.
He also had no reputation internationally.
This time, under the guise of tourism, he successfully entered the country.
According to the information provided by the Freemasonry.
He came here.
"First, find the place where Hansen Cornell had his accident and confirm the scene!"
Victor pondered for a moment, then turned and walked forward.
His speed was very fast.
Even though half a month had passed since the incident, in the eyes of someone proficient in tracking like him.
Many traces were clearly visible.
"All the traces are centered on one point..."
Victor smiled slightly.
He knew he had found the scene of Hansen Cornell's accident.
His speed was fast, and he kept following the traces deeper inside.
Just then.
An unusual tree appeared in his sight.
The tree was over three meters tall, blooming with gorgeous red flowers.
But this was not what attracted him.
What really attracted him was the fence surrounding the tree.
"A fence!?"
Victor looked at this scene in surprise.
He was one hundred percent sure this was a deep, old forest.
And sparsely populated.
But the traces in front of the fence clearly told him that people had been active here recently.
"What kind of flower is this?! It even needs to be specially fenced off!?"
Victor curiously walked closer.
spiritual plants and herbs are not really recognized by Westerners.
Even nowadays, while they know some plants have extraordinary effects, they wouldn't immediately think of that the first moment they see them in the wild.
Victor leaned on the fence, curiously looking at the flower tree in front of him.
It smelled very fragrant.
Reaching out to support himself, Victor jumped directly over the fence.
And just as he was about to reach out to pick a flower.
He heard movement behind him.
He turned his head abruptly.
He saw a Chinese man leaning against the tree trunk, staring straight at him.
"Hmm!?"
"How could there be someone here?!"
Victor frowned.
"Hello, I am a tourist who got lost in the mountains. Is this your place!?"
Victor suppressed his surprise and suspicion, deciding in an instant to pose as a lost tourist.
As he spoke, he walked toward the man.
He had heard about it.
People in this country are very wary of Westerners.
Being seen here for no reason, it would be bad if this person called the police!!
He decided to knock the person unconscious.
"I just need to take a look at the scene to confirm if large-scale weapons were used during the capture of Hansen Cornell!!!"
Thinking of this.
Victor felt relieved.
He had already planned it out: knock this person out, take a look at the scene, and then head straight to the airport.
Twenty meters.
Fifteen meters.
Ten meters.
The next moment.
Victor suddenly exerted force.
He was as fast as a gust of wind, instantly arriving behind the man.
He formed his fingers into a knife-hand and struck at the man's neck.
The man had no reaction at all.
Lie down!
Seeing this, Victor smiled slightly.
This was the speed he was proud of, a reaction speed far exceeding that of ordinary people.
But Ji Yebai was helpless.
He originally wanted to see who it was, but didn't expect it to be another Mutant.
Having become a Second-rate Martial Artist, he could easily detect the energy of a Mutant.
He was originally just curious about what this Mutant wanted to do.
But he didn't expect this person to come to the bone-forging flower he had fenced off.
And even wanted to pick the bone-forging flower.
Whether intentional or unintentional.
Ji Yebai decided to stop him, so he stood out.
However.
What he didn't expect was that this person would attack directly...
This is really...
"It's truly like courting death!"
