"Is this the Gang Qi mastered by the Gang Refining Realm Martial Artist?"
At the top floor of the Peace Finance Building, Li Yi calmly looked at the invisible breath swirling in his hand, which surged from within his body and was nurtured by Qi-Blood. It seed fragile and easily extinguished by a pinch, but it was actually endlessly alive. The Gang Qi was tough, and if further tempered with a certain thod, it would beco as indestructible as steel.
Li Yi clenched his hand as if capturing a breeze, then raised his hand and swung it out.
A slash of invisible breath shot out like a blade, severing a decorative object ten ters away, leaving a smooth cut, its sharpness evident.
"However, my body possesses an excessively vast amount of Qi-Blood. Transforming this Qi-Blood into Gang Qi will require a long ti of tempering. Furthermore, each of the four major clans has their own advantages and disadvantages in their Gang Refining thods. The Fan Family’s Circulating Gang Qi focuses on defense, close-quarters elimination of enemies; the Zhao Family’s Hundred Refinent Gang Qi prioritizes attack, condensing Gang Qi into sword or knife energies for imdiate kills; the Qi Family’s Innate Fist Gang favors pure offense, defeating enemies with punches; the ng Family’s Ten Directions Gang Qi takes a different path, controlling Gang Qi to kill from a hundred steps away, offering the longest attack range."
Li Yi recalled the four Gang Refining thods in his mind.
Fundantally, they are quite similar, only differing in the direction of Gang Qi cultivation.
This is because a strong practitioner in the Gang Refining Realm has limited Qi-Blood, hence the Gang Qi one can condense is limited. In such circumstances, one has to make a choice, focusing on certain aspects ans inevitably giving up on others.
If your Gang Qi excels in offensive power, the defense will be weaker; if your defense is strong, then long-range killing abilities would not match others.
"People from the Four Seas and Eight Continents have not evolved physically and are of poorer quality with insufficient Qi-Blood, which is why the Gang Refining thods have drawbacks. But I am different; my Qi-Blood far surpasses that of an ordinary Refining Realm Martial Artist. Others practice one type of Gang Qi, but I can practice all four, complenting strengths and weaknesses. Thus, my Gang Qi will be stronger than anyone else’s."
Li Yi pondered softly: "However, this will also take more ti."
Given enough ti, he could certainly do so, but apart from tempering Gang Qi, he also needed his body to evolve, thus ti could be an issue.
So, he had to make a choice as well.
Eventually, Li Yi decided on two types of Gang Qi, only cultivating Circulating Gang Qi and Hundred Refinent Gang Qi.
The forr’s Protective Gang Qi offered astonishing defense, capable of protecting oneself, as survival was of utmost importance; the latter concentrated on sword and knife energies, enabling remote attacks. From then on, he would have long-range offensive capabilities, and if ti allowed, he could cultivate the other two thods later.
"Li Yi, are you in there?"
Suddenly, at this mont, Zheng Lan’s voice ca from outside the room, she knocked on the door: "Lin Yue is here, she said she has sothing to look for you."
Upon hearing the voice, Li Yi imdiately ca back to his senses, no longer pondering about cultivation, and swiftly opened the door: "Sister Lin is looking for ? Where is she?"
"She’s downstairs," said Zheng Lan.
"Good timing, I also have so matters to discuss with Sister Lin."
Li Yi said, while recalling his experiences in World 36 and the markings on his arm. Now that he had returned from Four Seas and Eight Continents with the thods for Gang and God Refining, he needed to address these risks.
At this ti, Zheng Lan suddenly said, "Oh, by the way, Li Yi, while you were away, Lin Yue made so money for . Now that you’re back, I can give it back to you."
"Not now, I still need your help with sothing, Zheng Lan. There’s a letter in my room, left by a Cultivator nad Qin Bing during the last cross-world encounter. This Qin Bing is an external combat mber from another city’s investigation bureau. Could you help ask Zheng Gong for Qin Bing’s ho address, and send this letter for ? I really dislike dealing with letters, they give a headache."
Then, Li Yi suddenly rembered sothing else and imdiately said.
"Okay, I understand, don’t worry, I’ll ask Zheng Gong right away," Zheng Lan said with a smile.
"Then I’ll go see Sister Lin first." After speaking, Li Yi took the elevator down to the first floor.
In the lobby, Lin Yue sat on a sofa drinking tea, but her gaze occasionally turned toward a room nearby, displaying a hint of alertness.
"Sister Lin," Li Yi greeted imdiately.
Lin Yue put down her teacup, smiled and said, "How was it, was the trip to Ghost Street smooth?"
"It was quite smooth. Previously when I went to Ghost Street, I was timid. Now I strike with full force. I’m now in the Spiritual Realm, and I’m able to handle many dangers," said Li Yi. "This ti after my visit to Ghost Street, I received a complete succession of boxing techniques. It’s no longer just a technique, but rather a whole new cultivation thod."
"I was thinking of sharing this with Sister Lin to see if you are interested in this."
He had acquired the Martial Arts inheritances from the four major families this ti. It seed wasteful if he practiced it alone. Now it was ti to gradually share it, cultivating people he could trust around him. Moreover, his boxing techniques had already spread after the incident with Yang Yilong. Now, bringing out the Martial Arts inheritance could help mitigate that impact.
After all, with sothing better available, who would want to continue practicing imperfect boxing techniques?
"Another world’s cultivation thod?" Lin Yue was startled, and then said, "You actually acquired this thing on Ghost Street, then that ans, isn’t Ghost Street a cross-world point?"
"Cross-world point?" Li Yi showed a hint of confusion.
Lin Yue imdiately explained, "You’ve been a Cross-border before, you should understand the principle of crossing worlds. The world is mysterious; sotis two worlds don’t need a massive gateway to cross; under certain serendipitous circumstances, they can collide and connect, just like two cities connected by highways, allowing travel back and forth, and a cross-world point is the road that leads to two different worlds."
"However, the crossing point is extrely perilous, as not only can it be discovered from our side, but the other world can detect it too. It could easily lead to a battle breaking out between experts from both worlds. I heard that there has already been a battle at Golden Academy, seemingly triggered by an invasion from high-level experts of the Otherworld. Thus, it’s better for you to avoid going to Ghost Street frequently, as we can’t control the risks involved."
She was quite worried that Li Yi frequenting Ghost Street would provoke hostility from the experts of other worlds.
"Now that the world has turned out this way, are you still worried about these things, Sister Lin? I actually think the existence of the crossing point is a good thing. If the Sky Tipping event is imminent and we haven’t found a suitable world to cross over to, it might be better to follow this crossing point to another world rather than die here," Li Yi said.
"That makes sense when you put it like that," Lin Yue thought for a mont, her thoughts suddenly clear.
The existence of a crossing point is both a danger and an opportunity.
Li Yi continued, "Starting today, I will teach you a new cultivation thod, Sister Lin. No matter what the future holds, only if we beco stronger can we handle every crisis. By the way, there’s another matter I need to ask you about. Do you know about this?"
He subtly rolled up his sleeve, revealing his arm.
On his arm were several scars, although they had faded significantly and might even disappear in ti, the scars still ford four words: Beware of my mom.
Upon seeing these four words, Lin Yue’s eyes suddenly narrowed. She instantly realized that Li Yi was aware of his mom’s existence, but she couldn’t talk about it. Because once she ntioned it, she would be targeted by Li Yi’s mom, and might even end up being killed by her. Moreover, she wasn’t the only one who knew about this.
Zhao Lingfu, Zhang Lei, Li Shaqing, Master Pete, Gu ngping... All the well-known experts in Tianchang City were aware of it, yet they all kept mysteriously silent, not daring to discuss the subject.
Of course, one of the reasons was that Li Yi’s mom had nothing to do with them; they could simply keep their distance, as most of the ti they had little interaction.
But Lin Yue couldn’t just watch Li Yi being entangled by that unknown entity.
Yet, she couldn’t directly point it out; it had to be Li Yi who realized the clues.
And now, the timing seed ripe.
Lin Yue glanced again at the room nearby, then took a deep breath and said, "Li Yi, there are so things I can’t talk about. If I do, it could lead to great danger. However, I believe you might already have so suspicions. Your judgnt is correct... Moreover, this issue didn’t start now; I noticed it from the first ti I visited your ho."
"Li Yi, sotis I even suspect you; there seems to be so issues with your mory, as you simply overlook certain things."
Li Yi’s face suddenly changed upon hearing this.
His mory had issues?
Reminded of this, he imdiately realized it might be true. If there wasn’t a problem with his mory, how could he possibly forget when the scars on his arm were made?
What exactly happened in the 36th world?
If there was a problem with his mom, what exactly was it?
Or perhaps the mom in his mory never existed, and the actual mom might be...
Just as Li Yi was deep in thought.
Suddenly.
The lights in the hall on the first floor started to flicker suddenly, as if interfered with by so unknown power. Simultaneously, a chilling sensation surged up from the bottom of Lin Yue and Li Yi’s hearts, making them sense an imnse crisis at the sa mont.
Although both were Spiritual Sense users, already considered as experts in Tianchang City, under this sense of crisis, they felt they could be killed at any mont.
And as ti passed, it wasn’t just the flickering lights in the hall.
Drip, drip!
Suddenly, fresh blood started dripping from the ceiling.
This was not an illusion.
Because the pungent sll of blood filled the air, continuously assaulting their senses.
"Li Yi," Lin Yue promptly yelled, understanding that Li Yi’s mom had appeared again.
But unlike the last ti Li Yi’s mom appeared and helped them kill that bizarre woman Liu Yan, could this appearance an she was there to kill them?
If so, that was terrifying.
It seed that even Li Yi couldn’t control his mom; if certain taboos were violated, he too could be seen as an enemy.
"This feeling... it’s like the ghosts in the 36th world," Li Yi’s face changed, recalling the fear dominated by the Ghost Post Office.
He thought that after crossing back, that nightmare-like experience would have ended. Yet, the nightmare continued.
