Chapter 804: Chapter 804 Martial Path’s 36 Strategies Chapter 804: Chapter 804 Martial Path’s 36 Strategies The anticipated pain didn’t co; the flower’s pistil didn’t penetrate his head, it just stayed in his mouth like a pacifier, with the sweet nectar flowing into his stomach.
Lin Shen imdiately felt a warm current spreading throughout his body, making his already-not-so-cold body sowhat cozy and warm.
The pistil slowly withdrew, and the pistils entwined around his body also loosened, restoring Lin Shen’s freedom.
Lin Shen quickly flew out of the Ice Lotus, which seed to have no reaction at this point.
“Was the Ice Lotus actually trying to save ?” Lin Shen realized that the Ice Lotus didn’t have any ill intentions but was instead helping him eliminate the cold within his body.
“Where did that beam of ice light just co from?” Lin Shen wondered, though he had sowhat figured it out.
Tian Jiuyou would certainly not leave him here without ensuring that escape would not be so easy.
...
Lin Shen hesitated for a mont and didn’t continue to rush out of the planet; instead, he landed and walked toward the several wooden houses.
Escaping definitely wouldn’t be easy, but it wouldn’t hurt to see what was inside these places first.
Tian Jiuyou had trapped him here for a reason; it wasn’t too late to figure out Tian Jiuyou’s intentions before thinking of a way out.
Lin Shen rembered that Tian Jiuyou had said one of the wooden houses contained so of his wife’s writings, so he headed toward that house.
The roof of the wooden house was covered in thick snow, and many icicles hung from the eaves.
He pushed the wooden door, and it opened readily.
Inside the wooden house was a world apart from the outside; while it was a world of ice and snow outside, it was warm enough inside to make one drowsy.
An old-fashioned oil lamp burned a small fla on the table, providing the light in the wooden house.
It seed as if the warmth also emanated from it.
Besides the oil lamp, there were no devices like a stove inside the house to provide heat.
The interior of the wooden house was clean and tidy, with a small bed and a rocking chair covered with a blanket.
Next to the desk and chair stood a wooden bookshelf with a few books on it, not many, looking sowhat scattered.
At the lower part of the bookshelf, there were so writing implents, and next to it stood a small blackboard with so words written on it.
“Everything that people consider ‘Immortal’ is only because ti is too much of a luxury for humans.” Lin Shen found so truth in this sentence.
Ordinary human lifespans are less than a hundred years, and even among the Great Cosmic Clans, the lifespan of a common mber is at most a few thousand years.
But in the face of the Cosmos, a hundred years and a thousand years are not much different; in comparison to billions of years, they are just a montary flicker.
Lin Shen saw a book on the desk that was already opened and picked it up to look at the cover.
The cover was clean, with only two words in the lower right corner: “Tear Stain.”
“Is this the author’s na?” Lin Shen couldn’t guess and flipped through the book.
“If the Cosmos is seen as a living being, and all the planets are but cells of this being, with cells dying every mont and new ones being born, then what are we?
Parasites?
Viruses?
Cancer cells?”
“These must be the writings that Tian Jiuyou was talking about,” Lin Shen frowned as he read, not being a philosopher nor having the interest to ponder such grand problems.
If it were texts on Martial Path skills, he would have been keen to read them, but this content did not attract him.
He flipped through to the end, finding it was all about one person’s contemplation of life and the Cosmos, so Lin Shen set the book down.
“Tian Jiuyou isn’t trying to brainwash with this content, is he?” Lin Shen walked over to the bookshelf and picked up another book to look.
If it was all content like what he had just seen, he was no longer interested in continuing.
Fortunately, this book had nothing to do with the previous one; it was a genuine Martial Path skill manual.
“Martial Path Thirty-Six Stratagems…
Isn’t that the skill that Tian Jiuyou uses?” Lin Shen suddenly beca interested and flipped through it.
Unexpectedly, the book contained complete instructions for the skill, from theory to practical thods and personal insights—all written in great detail and by hand.
“Judging by the handwriting, it must have been written by a woman.
Could it be that the Thirty-Six Stratagem skills used by Tian Jiuyou were actually created by his wife?” Lin Shen was sowhat astonished.
He skimd through the book and realized that the Martial Path Thirty-Six Stratagems were nad after the military tactician’s thirty-six stratagems.
They included the Winning War Stratagem, Enemy Strategy, City Attack Strategy, lee Strategy, Combined Strategy, and the strategy for facing defeat, divided into six parts.
Each strategy contained six specific skills, and these skills could be combined for enhanced effects.
The palm technique previously used by Tian Jiuyou was a combination type of Winning War Stratagem.
Lin Shen rembered Tian Jiuyou ntioned that the bizarre Finger Skill he used was from the Martial Path Thirty-Six Stratagems called Make Noise in the East, Attack in the West, so he found that specific move and examined it carefully.
Make Noise in the East, Attack in the West was indeed formidable; how it managed to silently generate a finger force from behind baffled Lin Shen.
After reading the content in the book, he realized that the finger force wasn’t conjured out of thin air but utilized a special energy control thod.
The Vigor Force was hidden in advance, set to detonate like a ti bomb.
ɴ0νǤօ.сο
The first finger strike had nothing to do with the second; the forr was rely a feint, while the real attack was the one that had been preditated.
“This hidden Vigor Force thod is truly mystical.” Lin Shen studied how he could conceal the Vigor Force in advance and found the technique extrely complex, requiring proficiency in various applications of Vigor Force to achieve the hidden effect.
This skill could not be mastered in a short ti.
Lin Shen examined each of the Thirty-Six Stratagems in detail and realized that the technique of hiding Vital Force was used extensively; without mastering this technique, it was almost impossible to master the Martial Path Thirty-Six Stratagems.
Besides hiding Vigor Force, there were several other special skills that were also widely used in the Martial Path Thirty-Six Stratagems.
After reading the entire text, he concluded that the Martial Path Thirty-Six Stratagems was a very strategic skill set, and Lin Shen felt they were unsuitable for him.
Nevertheless, he still morized the entire Martial Path Thirty-Six Stratagems; although he didn’t favor such skills, they could be useful later.
He could give them to Yun to practice, and once she mastered them, he could inherit the complex and enigmatic techniques like the hidden Vigor Force.
Lin Shen spent the better part of the day morizing the entire book without missing a word.
“My mory is significantly better now than before; I probably couldn’t have morized this flawlessly even in two or three days.” Lin Shen put the Martial Path Thirty-Six Stratagems back and picked up another book to read.
If all the books here were of this level of skill, he would profit imnsely by morizing a few and taking them back.
