"Protector Level..."
This new piece of information suffocated Rancheng C once again. The Banner Leader of the Six Dragons Sect lowered his head and asked, "Is it... Guardian Zhi?"
Under normal circumstances, mbers of the Six Dragons Sect would not know of each other’s existence. So hermits hold official positions within the Scientific Knight Order, and so protectors have their own titles in the Martial World. However, their public identities seldom connect with their private ones.
But Zhili Jiliu was a rare exception. Within the martial faction of the Six Dragons Sect, "Zhili Jiliu" was a representative. His martial arts were extraordinarily high, unimaginable to ordinary people. In the ghostly tal aerosol, his reaping of enemies beca a nightmare for many.
Many mbers of the Six Dragons Sect had received online guidance from Guardian Zhi or acquired practice data from him. Even though much of their knowledge about Guardian Zhi was limited to this title.
So Six Dragons Sect mbers even believed that if Zhili Jiliu continued to advance in martial studies, he might beco the next Sect-protecting Dharma King before reaching a certain "turning point"—he had that potential.
This was a common belief among those within the Six Dragons Sect who knew him.
And now, Zhili Jiliu was gone, defeated on Earth.
Even if Guardian Zhi used a regular prosthetic body, as long as he didn’t forcefully clash with a First Heavenly Layer’s enemy, there should have been no problem.
In most cases, facing a high-level military officer of the First Heavenly Layer, Guardian Zhi should at least have been able to escape. In several instances, a counter-kill was even possible.
Now, the Banner Leader of the Six Dragons Sect finally understood the truth of the matter.
This future Sect-protecting Dharma King had encountered the Twelfth Martial God who had not yet walked the earth under his true na.
Yuki nodded, "Zhili Jiliu. Yes, that’s the right na. His Mystic Tortoise True Gang was impressive, the kind that even the Martial Gods found formidable."
Anyway, Xiang Shan also intended to share Zhili Jiliu’s na along with his martial arts works online, so naturally, he would ntion Guardian Zhi’s na to his disciples.
Upon hearing Yuki naturally ntion Guardian Zhi’s full na and martial prowess, Rancheng C felt very saddened.
This young hero was telling the truth.
The Banner Leader of the Six Dragons Sect sighed, "Even a warrior as outstanding as Guardian Zhi couldn’t preserve his mory files..."
Many critical pieces of information within the Six Dragons Sect aren’t recorded by the system but are forced into the biological brain’s mory. By strongly activating the hippocampus, one can deeply morize specific information—the process is the opposite of suppressing the hippocampus, and related technologies have matured.
People nowadays can selectively "rember sothing" or "not rember sothing."
This is also why, after acquiring Guardian Zhi’s mory, Xiang Shan didn’t find much useful information about the Six Dragons Sect.
As for the Holy Lord, first, the Holy Lord was a pure AI without a biological brain, and second, Xiang Shan used hostages, so the Holy Lord dared not rashly delete the information from his mind, fearing Xiang Shan would harm the hostages. That’s how Xiang Shan obtained a wealth of information about the Six Dragons Sect.
Speaking of this, Yuki couldn’t help but think of his master.
His master’s mories in his mind were also categorized. He voluntarily cleared out a large amount of "event content mory," transferring his experiences to electronic storage, while using his biological brain to morize knowledge and martial studies.
But in reality, this was achieved through long-term training, repeated forgetting, and learning.
Unlike the Six Dragons Sect, who directly manage mories, a process almost seamlessly connected to "short-term mory transforming into long-term mory."
Moreover, they strongly rember their "judgent" of an event and its "conclusion." However, Xiang Shan had many shortcomings in this regard. Before retrieving his mory, he lacked this kind of "certainty."
Xiang Shan’s organization and summary of his own mory relied mainly on "experience," carving out a path on his own.
Yuki asked a few more questions on this matter to confirm more details.
Regarding the Six Dragons Sect, this was not classified information, and the shaken Rancheng C did not resist much and shared so things with Yuki.
The mory, according to regulations, should be handed over. The Six Dragons Sect also stipulated that Banner Leaders must re-experience this mory twice a year. The dates are not fixed, but the intervals must be greater than four months. Before each "Experience Day," a designated person would return the mory storage file, allowing the Banner Leaders to regain confidence.
Yuki showed a subtle expression, "Isn’t this... a bit like the Green Forest? Those mories of yours that are collected, their specific content isn’t actually important at all? As long as it boosts the confidence of those below?"
Due to past experiences, Yuki always held a grudge against the Green Forest.
If Xiang Shan were here, he might praise him for "grasping the key point," and would likely ponder whether "if collective mories of slaughter were separated like this, it could perhaps lead to a more peaceful Green Forest."
The Six Dragons Sect protector shook his head disdainfully, "Humph, it’s completely different. Although I don’t rember them, I can be sure those mories are mine, personally experienced. Just like how two pieces of rock fit together after a break, I know these are my mories..."
"Hiss..." Yuki pondered, "I think your taphor could be more modern, like saying ’those mory files contain my unique characteristic codes’ or sothing similar..."
This was also Xiang Shan’s taphor. Xiang Shan often ridiculed himself, saying the mories he left behind weren’t filtered very cleanly and contained quite a bit of "impurities." Extracting characteristic codes from those "impurities," mories of knowledge, etc., and comparing them with external mories, could roughly show whether the main body of the mory is actually himself.
By the way, this taphor isn’t very accurate either. Xiang Shan’s personal experience has also proven that the concept of "personality" is usually an abstraction by an individual of all behaviors of a human being, summarizing as a "roughly existing" entity. The boundary of the concept of "Xiang Shan" is very unclear. Many mories, from the source of information, do not belong to Xiang Shan, but from an abstract level, can be considered part of Xiang Shan.
Most Martial Gods co about like this.
Rancheng C said nothing; he just kept his head down.
Yuki said, "Then you need to think about it more. I’m heading out first."
He knew that in this state, it was difficult to extract more information. Although Rancheng C’s defense had been broken, he was still a mber of the Six Dragons Sect. Getting a substantial amount of intelligence from him at once was still difficult.
Truth serum-type potions could forcibly make the brain recall so "experiences," even more accurately "recall experiences the brain considers reliable." But this doesn’t an the experiences obtained through truth serum are factually reliable.
Moreover, those with accomplished Inner Strength could intentionally guide their thought activities, presenting sothing virtual as if it were real.
Catching people broadly and administering truth serum actually cannot effectively discern people of Jianghu.
This is one of the lessons Yuki learned after the Battle of Pine Eagle City.
For experts like Rancheng C, the effect of truth serum was not so good.
One must wait for him to calm down, then continue—observe whether he rebuilds his psychological defenses, or just gives up recklessly once his defense breaks.
This all requires ti.
And upon knowing that his master and others were not only safe but even achieved a victory, Yuki felt no urgency.
He wasn’t short on ti now.
As soon as Yuki exited the Virtual Space, he clenched his fists, postured excitedly. The news of his friends and family being safe was more important to him than anything.
Then he looked up and saw a crowd of people around him.
The forr apprentices of Pixie Sect encircled the room tightly. The densely packed crowd consisted entirely of people. Furthermore, the Scientific Knight apprentices retained the tradition of using human face relief as head decorations. Many apprentices kept this habit.
In so sense, it was sowhat terrifying.
Yuki was startled by those holes in the eyes, almost ready to strike a defensive pose, then he rembered. Many Scientific Knight apprentices had visual organs on their shoulders or chests.
Pixie Sect’s Sect Leader, Inzewei Song, took two steps back, tightly clasping Yuki’s hand: "Little brother...dear brother! You’ve been hiding things from us so well!"
"I...this...actually I didn’t an..."
"Still saying you didn’t hide it from us? Are you not really connected with the Twelfth Martial God?"
Yuki imdiately replied, "My master is only connected with that force, but he is not a Northern Hero nor has he ever...at least not in the past hundred years...been to the Arctic Circle. I really am not a Northern Hero. I didn’t lie. Truly. And I really didn’t an to hide it from you, look, I just stread everything out."
"True, indeed true." Inzewei, delighted, fluttered, "Then you must have a certain position in Jianghu now, right?"
"In a certain sense, that’s actually correct..."
"That’s wonderful!" Inzewei vigorously shook Yuki’s arm, "We depend entirely on you for our group of several dozens of people to establish ourselves in Jianghu...We are new to this, and don’t understand anything!"
Yuki scratched his head: "Actually, I also...ca here..."
Poor him, he hadn’t even officially graduated, having been chased out of his sect by the enemy.
"How fateful isn’t it? When you first entered Jianghu, you t us beginners entering Jianghu." Inzewei was even more pleased: "It’s destiny! All destiny!"
Yuki nodded: "Yes, it’s quite fateful..."
Inzewei released Yuki’s hand, gestured to the surrounding crowd, signaling the other apprentices to disperse.
But obviously, the other apprentices misunderstood—certainly, so intentionally misunderstood. They surged forward, chattering: "Are you following the Twelfth Martial God on heroic quests?" "Have you seen the Twelfth Martial God?" "You aren’t the legendary Martial God Disciple, are you? Though being a direct disciple is unlikely, you should count as a disciple, right?"
