Chapter 770 - 770 236 Chaotic Fate_2
Chapter 770: Chapter 236 Chaotic Fate_2 Chapter 770: Chapter 236 Chaotic Fate_2 The angel didn’t go to the Mingxin Sword Sect alone to proclaim the imperial decree.
In order to prevent martial artists at the Hollow Void Stage like Li Shuwen from overturning the table, he went with a large army.
Emperor Kangqian was truly adept at playing with the hand of the knife and the hand of the money.
But if martial artists above the Normalization Realm all perished in Death Valley, what good would it do for the Mingxin Sword Sect and the Octagon Martial Arts School to receive all the gold, silver, and resources bestowed by the Imperial Court?
Whether they can continue to pass on their traditions, that itself is a question.
If Li Shuwen was a lone man, why not go anywhere in the vast world?
He could even storm into the Beijing Imperial Palace and assassinate Emperor Kangqian.
But Li Shuwen not only had disciples, but also family members.
Thus, he was constrained by the Imperial Court and Emperor Kangqian.
After a sigh, Li Shuwen replied, “In three days, the first batch of martial artists at Normalization Realm will enter the valley, which includes you and Gāndāng. If you have not come back by that day, your second senior sister and third senior brother will take your place. As for me, I will definitely enter the valley only after all the Normalization Realm and most of the martial artists at Hollow Void Stage, couldn’t come out from Death Valley”
Pausing for a moment, Li Shuwen emphasized, “The key now is not on me, but on you and your elder brother.”
Link slightly furrowed his brow, “Has the Imperial Court reprimanded the Martial Arts School because I was not there some time ago?”
“There wasn’t any reprimand, but some disagreeable words were unavoidable.”
Li Shuwen shook his head slightly, “When I am around, some face is still given unless the conflict escalates to a breaking point.”
“Oh, yeah.”
Changing the subject, Li Shuwen said, “Governor Hu has already been released from prison and went back to the capital to report on his duty. However, Governor Hu’s two daughters, Hu Suqi and Hu Songqi, stayed behind and were specifically requested by Emperor Kangqian to enter the valley for an exploration.”
“Hmm,” Link nodded.
He had heard about this before he went to see Li Shuwen.
This move of Emperor Kangqian was a test again.
Even though he was not the subject of the matter, Link, as a bystander, felt thoroughly disgusted with it.
This was a repeated attempt to test Governor Hu’s bottom line, and to bring the art of persuasion to its extreme.
The so-called art of the emperor, the core of most of its content, was persuasion.
“Master, rest assured, I will take good care of Brother Shi.”
Then, Link took the initiative to express his stance.
“Good, with your words, I can rest assured.”
Li Shuwen was quite pleased with his disciple’s caring attitude towards each other.
Link thought for a moment, asking, “Master, do you have time now to take a look at the results of the ‘Construction’ implant experiment?”
All these years, under Link’s promotion, The Octagon Martial Arts School has vigorously developed various industries, a large part of which involved mechanics.
Originally due to mechanical martial arts, Li Shuwen, who despised anything related to mechanics, came to understand what is called mechanics, the development and change of mechanics, the concept of mechanics…under the pressure from his wife.
Therefore, Li Shuwen is no longer unfamiliar with terms like “experiment”, “stage results”.
He can even read the most cutting-edge research papers in the field of mechanics now.
And even a few times, when seeing some errors in the papers by mechanical martial artists related to martial arts, surprisingly, he wrote rebuttals under a pseudonym.
After several debates, the pen name “Righteous Mountain Man” actually became a flag.
Yeah, there are factions within mechanical martial arts too.
The conservatives of mechanical martial arts denounced the remarks of the “Righteous Mountain Man” as heresy, while the radicals regarded the philosophy of the “Righteous Mountain Man” as a golden rule.
This outcome has truly amused Li Shuwen.
Speaking of which, he was a Peak of Hollow Void Stage martial artist of the Human Immortal Martial Path!
If the mechanical martial arts radicals knew the true identity of the “Righteous Mountain Man”, they would probably shatter their belief.
Based on this, Li Shuwen was actually interested in Link’s “construction” last time. When he heard of any “stage results”, there’s no way he could sit still.
“You go ahead, I’ll tell your master mother, and I’ll be right there.”
As his voice fell, Li Shuwen’s figure disappeared from the room.
Teleportation – he could also do it!
Link was not surprised by this. As he admired his master’s sincere dread… respect for his wife, he teleported back to the base in a flash.
A moment later, Li Shuwen arrived tracking the ripple in the void created by Link’s spatial crossing.
“Your method of movement is fast enough, but it’s not quite stealthy.”
After landing, Li Shuwen gave his evaluation, “I wanted to talk to you about it last time but didn’t get the chance. This time, we need to discuss it thoroughly.”
“Please enlighten me, Master. I am all ears.”
Upon hearing this, Link immediately asked respectfully for instruction.
The accomplished takes precedence.
Even without the emotional fetters of this world’s lost memories, for a genius like Li Shuwen whose potential is restricted due to the loss of inheritance or worldly limitations, who reached the peak of the fourth realm, Link had to show respect.
“Space is like a lake full of water. Moving in space is like a fish swimming in water, meeting resistance from all around. When a fish reaches the surface of the lake and leaps up, jumping from one point to another, it is a completely new way of moving.”
Li Shuwen made a few analogies, then said, “To improve the stealthiness of such movement, you have to work from three aspects. Firstly, reduce the disturbance when breaking the water’s surface, secondly, prevent water droplets on your body from falling after breaking the water’s surface, and thirdly, re-enter the water gracefully without causing a big splash. Do you understand now?”
Link felt a sudden flash of enlightenment.
Many points he did not understand before were immediately clear after Li Shuwen’s explanation.
“Thank you for your instruction, Master.”
Link bowed respectfully in thanks.
“Hmm.”
Li Shuwen accepted this gesture graciously, “Let’s go, let’s see your achievements.”
“Yes, Master, this way please.”
Link gestured and led Li Shuwen towards the underground laboratory at the base.
The three successful products were kept separately in three specially modified isolation rooms without any harsh treatment except for the experimental requirements.
They were not in a good mental state, being somewhat numb, but they had not completely collapsed.
However, as soon as they saw Link, they all started to shiver.
The product in the spiritual energy realm was the least able to cope, curling up in the corner and constantly muttering, “The devil, the devil is here.”
“What did you do to them?”
Seeing this situation, Li Shuwen couldn’t help but feel curious.
The debate with the Mechanical Martial Arts Conservatives had completely stimulated Li Shuwen’s inherent research spirit.
He now maintained a keen curiosity about all new things.
If it weren’t for the fear of causing too much sensation, he would even want to closely observe the daily cultivation of Mechanical Martial Arts Practitioners.
“Nothing much, just some routine experiments.”
Link simply responded without intending to disclose the truth.
Although he hadn’t recalled how to block emotions in the Wizard World, the bloodshed and cruelty in the experiments no longer disturbed his inner peace.
Pausing for a moment, Link emphasized, “The subjects I captured for the experiments are all scum, people who have committed countless atrocities.”
“Hmm.”
Li Shuwen did not care about these.
The people who died by his hand were not less than a thousand or eight hundred.
As for ruthlessness, Li Shuwen was no less than anyone!
Without wasting time, Link immediately had the three successful subjects start their demonstration.
First, the regular strength without activating the suits, then the explosive force after activating the suits, creating a stark contrast.
After watching, Li Shuwen fell into deep thought.
It wasn’t until they left the underground lab that Li Shuwen, who had returned to his senses, immediately said, “In terms of boosting immediate combat effectiveness, it is indeed very impressive. But there is one point I am worried about, will they become dependent? The boost is not sustainable; it can’t be that the tail wags the dog.”
Link understood what Li Shuwen was referring to.
Instead of replying verbally, he led Li Shuwen to the study and showed him his experimental logs, the design blueprints for each version of the ‘construction’ pieces and suits, the thought process for the auxiliary cultivation, one by one, asking him to examine them carefully.
In terms of understanding the Human Immortal Martial Path, Link was far behind Master Li Shuwen.
To complete the “construction” system of the Human Immortal Martial Path, he needed to consult him on this aspect.
Link was looking forward to the response from Li Shuwen after reviewing these materials.
This might help break the impasse in auxiliary cultivation once and for all.
What do you think?
