Chapter 390: Knocking
“You want to know this one’s identity?” Thea was not surprised when the silver ball talked back to her. After all, she already did these many tis the past 6 months.
But all those tis just had been idle conversations, with no intrusive questions coming from Thea.
But this ti, Thea’s going for broke, since she knew that Wang Hao will not let her out if she did not try to ask the silver ball so questions.
“Yes, that is why I am talking to you now.” Thea replied haughtily as she tried to appear tough. “You know that I am a different soul, so I could not perfectly recall anything related to you. It was as if that information was just intended for the original soul of this body.”
“You are right.” The voice coming from the silver ball sounded neutral, as if the ball had no emotions at all. Well a ball is a ball, so maybe it not having emotions is acceptable.
“However, even the original soul in this body does not know about my purpose. The original soul does not even have the required spiritual strength to talk to . So, she was clueless about . Only you, with your spiritual strength was able to talk to like this.”
“Oh?” This info by the silver ball made Thea more intrigued. “So my spiritual strength was also the reason I was able to restrain your flare-up earlier? Talk about a surprise.”
“But even with that kind of strength, I will still not tell anything to you about or my purpose.” The silver ball stubbornly said. “Why would I tell you sothing that could help that bastard Wang Hao to survive?”
“......”
“I was created with one purpose, and that is to make sure that Wang Hao will not be able to unlock all of his seals!” The silver ball hissed as it began shaking uncontrollably. “So you, do not expect to just say anything!”
“But you just said that you were created to stop Wang Hao from unlocking his seals.” Thea replied dryly. “Doesn’t that count as you saying sothing?”
“.....”
“Whoopsie, seems like your mouth slipped.” Thea giggled as she leered at the silver ball. “Why did you turn silent? Co, speak to Elder Sister more! Didn’t you say before that you want to talk to more? Today is your chance!”
“Scram!” The silver ball said while embarrassnt could be heard from its voice. “Just because I want to talk to you does not an that I like to talk to you! Stupid stupid stupid!”
Thea’s eyes then opened as she was unceremoniously kicked out by the silver ball out of her dantian.
“So that ball is a tsundere huh....” Thea muttered as she rubbed the temples of her head. “Maybe I can use that to tease the silver ball more in the future....”
“So how did it go?” Wang Hao asked he saw Thea opening her eyes. “Did the power say anything to you?”
“Well...” Thea then explained how her talks with the silver ball turned out.
After hearing what happened, Wang Hao just sighed as she shook his head wryly.
“Tsk tsk tsk, so even a ball can be that childish? Seems like getting info out of it will be hard then.”
“So what do we do now? Thea asked as Wang Hao grabbed the orb that she was trapped in. “Do we just let it be?”
“Well that is the best thing that we can do for now.” Wang Hao replied with a shrug. “I am sure that there will co a ti that the ball will spill its beans to . But before that ti cos, you just have to monitor the ball for .”
“Roger.” Thea said as she glared at Wang Hao. “Now, can you let out of the orb already?”
“Okie okie.” Wang Hao lazily replied as he tapped the crystal ball.
“Pop!”
A popping sound echoed out, and Thea’s body suddenly appeared inside the room. The orb that was trapping her earlier was now empty.
Wang Hao then waved his hands, keeping the orb inside his storage.
“Wu ng, you can co in now.” Wang Hao said this after he wiped the energy barrier that he put around his house. He gave Thea a wink as the door opened.
In ca Wu ng, who cast a suspecting look to Thea, who just gave a stiff smile in return to Wu ng.
“This girl... She’s the silver girl, right?” Wu ng said as she saw that the orb was now gone. “Her body looks similar to the silver girl, but her deanor and attitude... awee way different from the silver girl earlier.”
“Do not ask how the silver girl turned to beco like her. Stuff happened ok?” Wang Hao replied dismissively as he sat down on the bed. He motioned Thea to sit beside him, while he motioned Wu ng to sit at the other side of the bed.
Wu ng, who suddenly saw a slight flush on Thea’s cheek, flared up as her mind began to wander on so things.
“Oh oh oh, what could Miss Wu ng be thinking right now? It seems to be serious...” Wang Hao said as he patted the large and soft bed that he was in. “Are you perhaps thinking of... THAT?”
“Of course not!” Wu ng huffed angrily as she sat on the bed too.
Upon seeing that she seed to be fine, Wang Hao reached on deep in his storage, and out from it appeared an object.
This object had three rings on it, with each ring having a different color.
Upon seeing this, Wu ng’s eyes widened as she felt a deep connection with this object.
She gave Wang Hao an inquisitive look, with her eyes clearly thirsty for answers.
Wang Hao grinned after seeing her look. He shook the rings gently, which made them produce a soothing sound.
His voice while talking to Wu ng was soft as he continued chiming the rings.
“This thing right here, is the one that can help you go ho.”
“!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“Ti to perform Knocking....” Fang Yu was now all alone inside Genie’s Mist Room, and she was using this alone ti to raise her cultivation.
Knocking, the 2nd Sub-Realm in the Third Stage, can only be perford once the practitioner succeeds on Grinding their cores.
If the Grinding Sub-Realm was focused on the surface of the Core, Knocking was focused on the insides of the Core.
In the Knocking Sub-Realm, the practitioner has to ‘Knock’ on their Core, which ans he/she has to tap their Core, similar to the way soone knocks on the door.
But instead of making a sound, a ‘Knock’ was done on the Core to induce pressure inside the core.
The pressure created by a ‘Knock’ on the Core will not dissipate as a sound wave, instead it will turn into sothing that will affect the insides of the Core.
The goal of Knocking was to rearrange the components of a practitioner’s Core into a perfect crystalline arrangent.
In the molecular world, there are three types of molecular arrangents.
These arrangents are Amorphous, Semi-Crystalline and Crystalline.
Amorphous arrangent is the arrangent where the molecules of a compound was arranged in a way comparable to the way trash were packed in the trash can.
Amorphous arrangent is random and unpredictable. There are no guarantees how the molecules will arrange each other. They just... arrange.
Materials with this kind of arrangent are usually weak and easy to destroy.
Crystalline arrangent on the other hand, was the opposite of amorphous arrangent. This arrangent was the result of the molecules arranging themselves in an orderly and pattern-induced way.
There are no stray molecules in this arrangent. Every molecule was in their proper place, leading to a pleasing and orderly arrangent.
Materials with crystalline arrangent were usually very sturdy and powerful.
As for the semi-crystalline arrangent, it was the mixture of crystalline and amorphous arrangent. There are parts that are orderly, and there are parts that are not.
Materials with this type of arrangent have strength and sturdiness between an amorphous and crystalline material.
How are this information then related to Knocking?
When a Third Stage Practitioner creates their Core, the core’s internal arrangent was always an amorphous arrangent.
If a practitioner wants to strengthen their core, then he/she has to change its internal arrangent, turning the amorphous arrangent to a crystalline arrangent.
Only this type of arrangent will be the best type of internal arrangent for a Core.
And to force the insides of the Core to rearrange themselves, ‘Knocking’ is required.
A ‘Knock’ on the Core will introduce pressure inside the Core, which will force the insides of the Core to rearrange.
Repetitive ‘Knocking’ will rearrange the insides of the Core more, which will bring its arrangent closer to the crystalline arrangent.
Only when a crystalline arrangent was reached that the Knocking Sub-Realm could be considered to be completed.
Of course, there are dangers in Knocking a Core.
First of all, the power used in each ‘Knock’ must be the right kind of power.
If the ‘Knock’ is too weak, the pressure it induced would not be enough to rearrange the insides of the Core.
If the ‘Knock’ is too strong, the possibility of the Core being fractured or destroyed is high.
In fact, almost all of the failures in the Knocking Sub-Realm were those who used too much power in their ‘Knocks’.
Now that Fang Yu was about to attempt ‘Knocking’ she had to be careful in the amount of power that she uses.
But that was not just her only problem.
Since Fang Yu has 13 cores, she had to ‘Knock’ all of them, all at the sa ti!
This is the part that Fang Yu was dreading.
After all, so of her Cores have different sizes and different components compared to her other cores.
For example, Fang Yu’s Duality Godly Divine Beast Core was her largest core, with the Mountain Bashing Boar Core as one of the smallest cores.
This difference in the sizes ans that Fang Yu has to apply different levels of power on each ‘Knock’ that she applies on her 13 Cores. What’s worse is that she had to ‘Knock’ all these cores at the sa ti!
This was like filling 13 different-sized bottles with water all at the sa ti. No water must be spilled out, and the water flow must be adjusted on each bottle.
The bottles must be perfectly filled at the end, with no bottle spilling its contents or no bottle lacking even just a drop of water.
Well, even if Fang Yu ssed up in the water bottles, she can just shrug it off and curse her luck.
But if Fang Yu ssed up in her Cores, heavy injuries or even death will be her destination.
“Focus and focus and more focus.’ Fang Yu muttered as she took a deep breath.
Fang Yu’s breathing then slowed down as she adjusted her ntal state.
Her eyes then opened wide as she said,
“Ti to knock myself up!”
