Chapter 56: The Mysteries of the Physical Body
Chapter 56: The Mysteries of the Physical Body
"Hello," Lin Yuan greeted with a smile, his eyes holding a hint of curiosity as he regarded his visitor.
Lou Lan He kept his personal information mostly private, revealing only his name and residence.
"The Lei Yu Star Domain?" Lin Yuan mused. It was a high-level star domain far removed from the Chi Kun Star Domain, about which Lin Yuan knew very little.
But to offer a billion civilization coins for just an hour of guidance, this Lou Lan He must be either wealthy or of high status.
"How do you plan to guide me, Teacher Yuan?" Lou Lan He asked.
"You're paying, so you're calling the shots," Lin Yuan replied politely.
One hour for one billion—that was nearly thirty thousand coins per second. Just the words he had spoken so far had earned him hundreds of thousands of coins.
"Then let's spar," Lou Lan He suggested.
"My father said that a powerful evolutionary path would definitely result in formidable combat abilities." Lou Lan He took a few steps back, his gaze turning sharp. "Teacher Yuan, be careful. Although I haven't specifically cultivated my body, it is naturally strong and no weaker than most second-stage evolvers."
"Come," Lin Yuan said calmly, his gaze unwavering. Lou Lan He didn't give him a dangerous feeling.
Whoosh! Lou Lan He's figure disappeared, only to reappear instantly at Lin Yuan's side as he threw a punch.
"So fast!" Lin Yuan exclaimed, surprised. He could tell that this was pure physical speed, without the aid of any other abilities.
As Lou Lan He's punch came down, Lin Yuan lifted his right hand to block it. With the Taiji Doctrine in motion, he borrowed the force of the punch and redirected it back onto Lou Lan He.
Boom! Lou Lan He's body flew backward, crashing to the ground dozens of meters away. He picked himself up, eyes wide as he stared at Lin Yuan.
"What kind of technique is that? It's so soft and gentle, yet I feel like the punch I threw ended up hitting me instead!" Lou Lan He was annoyed.
If he had been overwhelmed by absolute power, he would have accepted it. But that feeling of being so close had him convinced that he could win.
"Again," Lou Lan He said, his figure once more disappearing.
Lin Yuan smiled faintly. The Taiji Doctrine, with its yin and yang transformations, was especially adept at borrowing and redirecting force, turning the tables on opponents.
Lou Lan He, with his brute strength and speed but no technique, was the perfect opponent for the Taiji Doctrine to counter. Although the saying went that one could overcome ten with sheer power, Lou Lan He was far from reaching that level.
"Aaahhh!" Lou Lan He roared, his speed surging once more as the mysterious pattern on his forehead glowed faintly.
This time, he had learned his lesson and didn't immediately attack Lin Yuan. Instead, he positioned himself behind Lin Yuan, completely out of his line of sight, before striking.
Boom! As expected, Lou Lan He was sent flying once more.
"I don't believe it!" Lou Lan He exclaimed, jumping to his feet.
If this had been the real world, his body would have been badly damaged by now. But this was a virtual world, and with just a thought, his body was restored to its original state.
Whoosh! Lou Lan He rushed to Lin Yuan's front and threw a punch at his shoulder. But for some reason, he felt like there was a vortex within Lin Yuan's body that absorbed all incoming force and returned it unchanged.
Boom! Lou Lan He was sent crashing a hundred meters away.
"Don't rely solely on strength," Lin Yuan advised.
In a normal fight, an opponent like Lou Lan He wouldn't even get close to Lin Yuan's hundred-meter range. But since Lou Lan He had paid a hefty sum for Lin Yuan's guidance, he was naturally going to get the full experience.
Lin Yuan did his best to guide Lou Lan He, allowing him to feel the 'vortex' of the Taiji Doctrine that converted incoming force up close. He even suppressed his own strength to the first stage to give Lou Lan He a deeper understanding.
Lin Yuan wanted Lou Lan He to feel that his money had been well spent.
Boom! Boom!
Boom! Again and again, Lou Lan He was sent flying, spitting mouthfuls of blood.
He felt incredibly frustrated. Why was he always just a little bit short?
Just a little bit.
Finally— "Stop!"
"No more, I give up!" Lou Lan He plopped down on the ground.
He immediately asked his intelligent assistant to analyze the footage of their sparring session.
"Are you saying that Teacher Yuan has been using only first-stage strength this whole time?" Lou Lan He's expression turned shocked as the intelligent assistant confirmed his suspicion.
He knew that his physical body was a replica of a rare and powerful species from the depths of the universe, obtained by his father at a tremendous cost.
The potential of this replicated body was immense, with terrifying aptitudes. Even without any cultivation, it was already comparable to a second-stage evolver.
Yet Teacher Yuan had managed to keep him at bay using only first-stage strength?
"Teacher Yuan, is this the power of the martial arts evolutionary path?" Lou Lan He asked as he hurried over to Lin Yuan.
"Indeed," Lin Yuan replied with a slight nod. "This is the Taiji Doctrine."
"The Taiji Doctrine is not about sheer strength, but rather, it leans towards the grand scheme of things."
Lin Yuan began to explain patiently.
"Mhm."
Lou Lan He only partially understood.
"In that case, I'll inject a strand of Taiji power into your body. It can last for a month, and by constantly sensing this strand of Taiji power, you'll gain some help in cultivating the Taiji Doctrine."
Lin Yuan explained with a smile.
This method was similar to the perception of the true martial sword's sun and moon essence.
However, with Lin Yuan's current strength, it was difficult for the Taiji power to exist outside his body for an extended period. But it would be more than enough for Lou Lan He.
"Alright."
Lou Lan He nodded.
At this moment, he had developed a keen interest in the martial arts evolutionary path.
He, Lou Lan He, also wanted to be as cool as Lin Yuan, being able to knock enemies flying without even moving.
So cool! Seeing Lou Lan He's agreement, Lin Yuan placed his right hand on Lou Lan He's shoulder.
A strand of Taiji power, formed by the combination of the yin and yang forces, slowly entered Lou Lan He's body.
And as the Taiji power entered Lou Lan He's body, Lin Yuan's perception naturally extended along with it.
"What is this?"
Lin Yuan's pupils narrowed slightly.
Lou Lan He's physical body resembled that of a normal human, but its essence was completely different.
Lin Yuan sensed that within the body, countless blood vessels intertwined and combined to form some sort of special pattern, and in the depths of the organs, at the microscopic level of cells, there were countless runes flowing.
All of this formed a perfect balance, bound within a single physical body.
"Perfect."
"Truly perfect."
Lin Yuan became engrossed in his discovery.
[Your comprehension defies heaven. Observing an unknown physical body, you gain sudden enlightenment.]
[Your comprehension defies heaven. Observing an unknown physical body, you gain sudden enlightenment.]
[Your comprehension defies heaven. Observing an unknown physical body, you gain sudden enlightenment.]
Countless insights flooded Lin Yuan's mind as he began to comprehend the mysteries of Lou Lan He's physical body.
Lin Yuan felt that if he could fully understand this body, he would be able to enhance his own physical essence.
This held great significance for Lin Yuan.
In the short term, improving the aptitude of his main world's physical body would enhance his foundation of strength and speed.
In the long term, whenever Lin Yuan's consciousness descended into a body while traversing the myriad worlds, that vessel would benefit from this understanding.
During his second traversal, if Lin Yuan had comprehended this type of physical body,
he wouldn't have faced a life-or-death crisis right after being born and abandoned in the wilderness.
With this type of body as a prototype, Lin Yuan would only need a few hours to modify an infant's body.
By then, even if he couldn't tear tigers and leopards apart with his bare hands, he would at least be no weaker than an adult.
"Teacher Yuan, are you alright?"
Lou Lan He grew puzzled as he saw Lin Yuan keeping his right hand on his shoulder for an extended period.
"I'm fine."
"Your physical body is rather unique."
"I need some more time."
Lin Yuan gave a random excuse, his gaze at Lou Lan He's body turning eager.
This made Lou Lan He nervous, but thinking of Lin Yuan's overwhelming display of strength earlier, he stood still obediently.
Half an hour later.
Lin Yuan reluctantly removed his hand.
"There, all done."
Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he hadn't completely comprehended Lou Lan He's body, Lin Yuan had memorized all the structures within it.
All that was left was to return and ponder over it.
"Alright."
"Thank you, Teacher Yuan."
Lou Lan He also sensed the strand of 'Taiji power' within him.
"Time's up."
"If I have any questions in the future, I'll seek your guidance again, Teacher Yuan."
Lou Lan He felt that he had gained a lot from this exchange.
Little did he know that Lin Yuan had seen right through him.
Shuiyue Residential Area.
Residence Number 32.
Underground Training Arena.
Lin Yuan disconnected his consciousness from the virtual world.
The intricacies of Lou Lan He's body still lingered in his mind.
"Truly... truly blessed by heaven."
Lin Yuan couldn't help but sigh. With the Myriad Worlds Gate, he had traversed two timelines and spent a hundred years to reach the second tier.
Yet this physical body could naturally grow to the second tier not long after birth.
It was simply monstrous.
"This body doesn't seem purely human."
Lin Yuan speculated, During his perception, he vaguely sensed an ancient and vast presence within it.
"No matter."
"As long as I comprehend it, it's mine."
Lin Yuan closed his eyes, continuing to ponder.
In the following days, Lin Yuan would allocate some of his third-tier mental energy, which he used to comprehend the intricacies of this unique body.
He aimed to fully understand this body before his third traversal,
so that when his consciousness descended into an infant's body, he wouldn't be as helpless in the face of extreme situations as he had been during his previous traversal.
In the blink of an eye, two months passed.
During this time, Lou Lan He sought Lin Yuan's guidance twice more, paying a total of two hundred million in guidance fees.
Lin Yuan took the opportunity to carefully observe Lou Lan He's body once again, drawing closer to fully comprehending its mysteries.
Then, one day, Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, ending his seclusion.
Because...
The arena tournament on Canglan Star had begun.
