Chapter 40: Thoughts
In truth, the force that was cultivated from the advanced stage of the Bone Refining stage was only a tiny mass. It was easy to wrap it around one's fist to increase the attacking power, but it was difficult to apply it in one's defense.
This was only possible if one could predict the opponent's attack route in advance and adjust the defensive position of the force with one's thoughts.
In order to form a defense around one's entire body, one had to break through the to the Spiral Force realm.
"Coiling Snake Force..."
Yang Yi carefully comprehended the technique of using this force.
The so-called Coiling Snake Force was actually disassembling the force into threads when it was activated.
Wisps of chaotic and changing force guarded his body, just like the whipping technique Jiang Qing used.
In this way, he solved the problem of being short of force.
However, the price he had to pay was that his force was diluted and his defensive ability weakened considerably.
It could only be said that it was better than nothing. No matter how powerful the Crimson Afterglow Technique was, it was difficult to make bricks without straw.
Thinking of this, Yang Yi immediately had an idea. His gaze landed on the attribute panel, and he requested 10 more feedback reports!
Just like how a pill could be consumed multiple times, was there a way to study the force multiple times?
If there was, would it not be possible to greatly increase the amount of force he had?
[Your Crimson Afterglow Technique met a female confidant in the Fragrant Court. Who would have expected that the other party would reject this relationship and wanted to collect money. It returned while feeling disappointed.]
This time, it only triggered a special event.
Yang Yi looked at the feedback and could not help but roll his eyes.
There seemed to be something wrong with the lifestyle of the Crimson Afterglow Technique!
He was not satisfied and continued to request for 10 more feedback reports.
[Your Crimson Afterglow Technique observed Luo Ran's use of the force and had an epiphany. While meditating, it managed to cultivate a trace of force!]
[Your Crimson Afterglow Technique was anxious for quick success and instant benefits. It made a mistake during its cultivation. Instead of advancing, its cultivation has regressed. Experience -1.]
[Your Crimson Afterglow Technique has gained experience from the battles of the demon slaying party. It gained a trace of force through trial and error!]
Yang Yi was overjoyed when he saw the feedback.
It was just as he had imagined. The comprehension of the force did not interfere with each other in different parallel dimensions.
However, it was only limited to today. Tomorrow, the content of the feedback would be different.
Although it was possible to cultivate the force through cultivation, it would not be due to the experience gained from the demon slaying party.
Special events could be encountered but not sought. If a special event happened in reality, the probability would be greatly increased.
He calmed his emotions and felt the changes in his body.
If the force was only the size of a fist before this, it was now the size of two fists and a half!
Yang Yi gathered his thoughts and used the Coiling Snake Force.
A formidable force shield appeared around his body.
Although the force was still in the shape of a strand, as the number increased, the defensive ability of the force was greatly strengthened.
"The amount of force in my body has already surpassed senior brother Tian and Luo Ran!"
Yang Yi quickly came to a conclusion. He was no longer inferior to Tian Zhen and Luo Ran, who were at the peak of the Bone Refining stage.
Tian Zhen was good at using penetrative force, while Luo Ran's force was precise and efficient, making it difficult to deal with. However, Yang Yi also had the Coiling Snake Force, so it was hard to say who would win or lose in a real fight.
"If I continue to expand the surrounding force, will it form a perceptive wall? When the enemy steps into the force's range, I will be the first to know."
Yang Yi looked at the gossamer-like force and fell into a reverie.
If he could catch the enemy's movements in advance, the range of Phantom Dodge would be even greater!
Tian Zhen was able project force, which meant that the force could leave the body.
The way of separating the force from the body without releasing it was the key to this idea.
Yang Yi concentrated and tried, but realized that it did not work. He could only manage to extend his force by the distance of a punch, at most.
"Looks like there's still a long way to go in cultivation." Yang Yi sighed, but he was not disappointed.
He had a direction which he could explore further. Not to mention, he had already gained a lot from this experience.
If he could cultivate the force, it was equivalent to having half a foot in the Spiral Force realm.
He poured himself a cup of tea.
Yang Yi drank it to moisten his lips, and then continued to look at the attribute panel.
Today, the Crimson Afterglow Technique had already given him 30 feedback reports, and the load on it was heavy. However, he was somewhat unable to resist the temptation of gaining force, so he thought of letting the Crimson Afterglow Technique work harder.
"Feedback,10 times!"
[Your Crimson Afterglow Technique has developed a feeling of boredom towards cultivation, and it have cultivated recklessly, causing its meridians to be blocked. Experience -3.]
[Your Crimson Afterglow Technique is overworked. It was thinking of abandoning martial arts and starting a business. It was looking for someone to help it sell martial arts insurance services.]
[Your Crimson Afterglow Technique is out gathering local cultural mateurals. It had no intention of cultivating at all. Today was a day for slacking off.]
[Your Crimson Afterglow Technique was eager to protect its master. It sneaked into Jiang Qing's room. Just as it was about to take revenge, it was discovered and fled in a hurry.]
Yang Yi almost spat out a mouthful of tea.
Out of the 10 responses, there were actually four special incidents. Moreover, with a glance, none of them were very positive.
What was up with abandoning martial arts for business?
Martial artist insurance...
Yang Yi did not expect the Crimson Afterglow Technique to have such brains.
However, in this world where strength reigned supreme, what was the use of such clever thinking?
Only a ghost would listen to slander and work with it!
Yang Yi felt that the Crimson Afterglow Technique of that plane was useless.
Just as he was bewildered by the ridiculousness of the situation, there was a commotion outside his room.
"Someone, come quickly!" someone shouted.
Yang Yi went out to take a look.
The moment he opened the door, he saw that Tian Zhen, who was opposite him, had also come out of his room.
The two of them looked at each other before rushing towards the direction of the sound.
"What's going on?"
Yang Yi arrived at the scene of the incident.
He found Jiang Qing and Jiang Hong in the room, and the window beside them was opened.
"I was meditating to heal my injuries just now, and someone ambushed me from the side." Jiang Qing held the whip in her hand, and his eyes were filled with killing intent.
"If I hadn't entered the room at the right time, the person would have succeeded."
Jiang Hong patted her small chest and looked at the window with fear in her eyes.
The culprit was very fast. After being discovered, they dashed out like a gust of wind and disappeared into the night.
"Did you see the culprit's appearance or characteristics?" Yang Yi asked eagerly.
"No, I don't even know when they got in." Jiang Qing shook her head.
"That's a pity." Yang Yi felt relieved.
The Crimson Afterglow Technique was obviously not as skilled as the Mountain-hugging Fist in these matters. Fortunately, it did not leave any clues behind.
"What's wrong?"
More and more people rushed over.
Ge Zhili even called over quite a few members of the Rope Fire Gang.
Jiang Qing briefly recounted what had just happened.
Everyone looked at each other with some doubts.
Could it be that the enemies of the Anther Gang had followed them all the way to Panshan Town?
This should not be the case. If they wanted to make a move, they should have waited for Jiang Qing and the others to be on their way back before making a move.
"Ha, Miss Jiang Qing is beautiful. The culprit might just be a random flower thief. You're safe now that you've scared him away," Luo Ran said half-jokingly.
This explanation was not very convincing, but nobody else had a better explanation.
As there were no actual losses, Ge Zhili, as the host, led some men to patrol the surroundings. He asked the gang members to increase their patrols, and the disturbance gradually died down.
It was already dark. After the commotion, everyone's stomachs were empty.
It just so happened that Feng He had arranged for wine and food, so everyone sat down and gathered around a table.
With different gangs sitting together, the atmosphere on the table naturally could not be said to be harmonious.
However, there were no confrontations during the day. In general, the table was not overturned, and everyone ate their fill.
