Chapter 222: The Real Infinite Protagonist Plan [Begging for Monthly Votes]

"A quick method?"

Inside the underground base, Li Huowang looked at Fang Can, not understanding the other's idea.

"Yes, even if this Infinite Protagonist Plan has no problems, the speed at which ordinary people cultivate is really too slow."

Fang Can said seriously: "No matter how fast the cultivation speed is, can these people break through to the Ascend to Heaven Path within three years? I just find the cultivation speed of these people too slow."

"Compared to my one revolution every three months, instead of continuing the Infinite Protagonist Plan, you'd be better off investing in me for the greatest returns."

'Who could possibly compare to you monster.' Li Huowang was speechless.

He hadn't expected Fang Can to actually compare his own cultivation speed with this group of people, so he could only concede.

"I remember your plan was modeled after Silent Slaughter." Fang Can looked at the clones behind the glass window.

"I've read that book too, but don't forget, when Zuo Qingcang cultivated this technique, his strength had already reached what level? How could these clones starting from zero possibly compare?"

"So what do you mean?" Li Huowang pressed, feeling that Fang Can was about to say something earth-shattering.

Fang Can smiled calmly: "Have you ever heard of losing one's mind?"

"Losing one's mind? Mental illness?" Li Huowang asked, puzzled.

"It's a mental illness unique to these idealistic martial artists. Once the blow is too great, they may go berserk and die."

Fang Can said as he raised his right hand in a scissor gesture: "I've personally witnessed two cases of losing one's mind symptoms."

"What does that have to do with the quick method you mentioned?"

"Don't rush, let me explain slowly." Fang Can said unhurriedly: "Of the two losing-mind martial artists I've seen, there's one essential difference, and that's their realm."

"For martial artists at the Mortal Body stage, since their body and spirit haven't fully meshed, once they lose their mind, they'll only fall into madness, then go berserk, and all their power will slowly recede until it completely vanishes."

"But the Ascend to Heaven Path is different. Your consciousness and body are completely unified; your body is the external manifestation of your spirit."

Fang Can slowly clenched his fist. As a martial artist who had officially stepped into the first revolution, he naturally understood the source of power within—flesh and blood were merely the vessel of the spirit.

"I once saw Xiang Longtao of the first revolution fall into losing-mind, but because of the complete unification of body and consciousness, after his Dao heart shattered, his appearance and constitution actually changed along with it."

"Afterward I consulted the ancient texts of Calamity Jianshan. After losing one's mind, even a martial artist's Heart Light will undergo a complete reversal."

Fang Can smiled and shook his head: "Do you know what this means?"

"Wh... what?" Li Huowang's heart pounded wildly.

"If we capture a martial artist of the Ascend to Heaven Path, simulate the losing-mind pattern, completely grind away his consciousness, and then pour in the memories of those novel protagonists, what do you think would happen?"

"Very likely, his appearance and physique would completely merge with the self in those memories."

"Then, his Mind Aspect and Heart Light would also distort into the abilities from those memories due to the memory cognition."

Looking at Li Huowang whose pupils were rapidly contracting, Fang Can gently patted the other's shoulder and said:

"I remember that Xiang Yincheng I just defeated was a second revolution, right?"

"Fang Can!" Li Huowang took a deep breath, stared at the youth before him and said: "You really are a fucking genius!"

"Work hard. Compared to pouring memories into these clones, it's better to directly modify those ready-made martial artists."

"Those martial artists practiced martial arts from childhood, training through the harshest winters and summers, painstakingly cultivating for decades before reaching the Ascend to Heaven Path realm. They themselves are their own protagonists."

"I imagine using these martial artists as the vessels for protagonists would yield absolutely extraordinary power."

Under Fang Can's narration, Li Huowang was nearly bursting with excitement.

Although there currently wasn't a single successful empirical case, theoretically there was very large feasibility.

Looking at the head soaked in the blood crystal held in his hand, a glint of excitement flashed in Li Huowang's eyes.

A ready-made second revolution was right in hand. Whether it could be done or not, just go try it directly.

Seeing the other's urgent desire to experiment at this moment, Fang Can smiled lightly: "I won't disturb your continued experiments then. Keep working hard from here on out."

With the rising hurricane, Fang Can wrapped himself in an AT-field and flew toward the outside of the base.

Because this underground base was built right next to City Z, the distance wasn't far. Under Fang Can's full-speed flight, it took only a few dozen seconds to traverse the entire city and return to the city center.

In Fang Can's overlooking observation, all of City Z was currently undergoing post-disaster reconstruction. Large numbers of buildings were under construction, and a great deal of population was migrating to other cities—clearly scared off.

Among them, Fang Can also saw many gyms in operation, with many people practicing the previously released "Myriad Manifestation Form-Intent Fist" move by move.

Since Li Huowang released this Fist Technique, a month had already passed since the Carnival Day. A small group of exceptionally talented citizens had long since achieved some results.

Looking at those bodies strengthening and conditioning, it directly sparked a nationwide cultivation craze, causing gyms and martial arts halls to also become popular.

Some gyms that spotted the business opportunity also began hiring high salaries to bring in Qi-Introduction martial artists to serve as coaches, using the slogan that anyone could succeed as long as they worked hard.

And in Fang Can's silent observation, a familiar face came into view.

'... Aunt?' Fang Can's body made an abrupt stop. Looking at a relative wandering outside, the other was currently dressed in finery, shopping at the mall with armfuls of bags.

In Fang Can's understanding, his aunt shouldn't have been so generous, and was relatively frugal. He hadn't heard of any sudden wealth—was it because of him?

'Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've seen Mom and Dad too.' Fang Can muttered to himself, planning to find time to meet up next.

Because he usually didn't have much contact with these relatives and wasn't very familiar with them, Fang Can didn't go down to greet them. After a few glances, he left again.

Flying all the way back to his doorstep, he directly used his force field to simulate the fingerprint lock and opened the door, then walked in.

Just as he entered the hall, he saw Liu Qingmeng sitting on the sofa, wearing a light blue lace dress, her satin-like waist-length blue hair gleaming with a pearly luster, and her translucent skin fair as jade under the lights.

Seeing Fang Can return, a flicker of delight flashed through those aurora-like blue-purple gradient eyes. She lightly patted the seat beside her and commanded: "Fang Can, come over and watch a movie with me."

"Okay, Senior Xiao Liu." Fang Can agreed immediately. After cultivating for so long, he naturally couldn't forget to rest.

He stepped forward and sat lightly beside the girl, saying: "But I get to pick the movie."

"That's fine, but call me Qingmeng from now on. Senior this, senior that, it makes me sound old."

The girl's tone was somewhat displeased: "From now on, just call that old woman from Calamity Jianshan senior."
