Chapter 26: Could He Truly Be an Unparalleled Genius!

Jiang Ningan's emotional journey through that night was rugged.

After Fang Can arranged for her to watch a video explaining transmigration, she was shocked to see that physics, a universal knowledge, actually existed in the world.

Especially those weapons; whoever mastered the principles behind them could, by following the recipe, replicate the same results and create weapons with extremely high lethality.

This was completely different from her previous Mind-Only concepts.

Because even with the same technique, if different people cultivate it, the results may differ greatly due to the cultivator's differing thoughts and understanding.

Of course, she was only curious about the replicability of such high-lethality destructive power in the video, not that she thought the weapons' destructive power was invincible.

After all, according to her understanding, the Heavenly Art Bureau in the capital of the Great Expansion Kingdom had similar martial arts inheritances.

They could make manufactured items cause terrifying damage, with power not inferior to these technology-made weapons.

As for superpower users?

In her view, they were martial artists who had skipped the Shedding Tui Fan Qu realm; the uncertainty of each ability's birth was the same as in the martial arts.

In specific manifestation, superpowers and martial arts made no difference, at most being a bit more reasonable.

In just one short night, Jiang Ningan roughly understood the general content of this world and deeply memorized the two characters "physics."

In her view, the knowledge of the present world was still somewhat useful; even without deep study, understanding the basics as an amateur scientist would suffice.

After all, knowing some physics knowledge would make one's Mind-Only bragging sound a bit more reasonable.

Coming back to her senses, a sound of air swirling, "Hua-la," came from the living room behind her; it was Fang Can, who had been practicing Fist Technique all night.

Compared to the beginning, the Tiger Fiend Fist Technique he was now executing looked very different, giving a feeling of being more in tune with nature.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Fang Can's fists turned into afterimages; every time his body changed direction, a crisp explosion echoed in the air. If the entire villa didn't belong to him, he would have been sued for disturbing the peace long ago.

Watching Fang Can's movements, a sense of absurdity rose in Jiang Ningan's heart.

Because whether in strength, speed, or intent, Fang Can was obviously stronger than last night.

'Could it be that everything he said is true?' A self-doubt rose in Jiang Ningan's heart.

As the new senior disciple of the Calamity Sword Pavilion, she generated Qi sensation in a few days, shed her mortal flesh in a year, and at the age of twenty had taken three steps on the Road to Heaven.

Praised by the Sect Master as "a genius rarely seen in the Calamity Sword Pavilion in a hundred years," "the reincarnation of the First Ancestor," "the hope leading the whole sect to revival," and "the rising star of the new generation in the Great Expansion Wu Lin"...

She! Jiang Ningan, a genius among geniuses, a new ice egg with so many titles that not enough people could stand on the stage.

Even she dared not cheat like this; do you think the person in front of you is human?

"Pah!" Spitting out a few grains of arsenic from his mouth, Fang Can frowned slightly dissatisfied.

Flesh Mutation: 4.5%

'Too slow, the progress is really too slow. Practicing all night only increased it by this much. At this rate, reaching 100% will take at least three or four months; it's really too slow.'

'As expected, I didn't take enough arsenic. Now, these few grains are simply not enough. After body strengthening, even if completely digested, I'm afraid I can't even make my seven orifices bleed.'

Counting the dozen or so grains of stock he had, Fang Can calculated how long until his online order would arrive. If drug-taking didn't keep up, staying in the Shedding Tui Fan Qu realm for a year would be a drag.

'By the way.' Fang Can turned his gaze to Jiang Ningan, who was staring at him in a daze: "Senior, I have a question for you."

Jiang Ningan came back to her senses, suppressing the emotions in her heart: "Ask."

"Just now while practicing martial arts, I felt my heart was restless, very wanting to vent and release it towards certain places. Did I go mad?" Fang Can asked seriously.

After all, he was truly new to the martial arts line and didn't understand many common things; at such times, he feared practicing incorrectly.

Who knew that as soon as Fang Can said this, the face opposite him immediately became complex:

"This is the initial stage of Heart-Image Externalization. As your will permeates your entire body, your mental pressure may express itself through your gaze and body movements to intimidate enemies."

"At this time, it is best not to suppress yourself, but to let this momentum release as much as possible."

Fang Can nodded in understanding: 'Got it, this is the martial arts version of Conqueror's Haki.'

Since this matter wasn't bad, Fang Can stopped worrying about it; such things would naturally fall into place if left to nature.

And Jiang Ningan's mood at this moment was already very complex.

Because for most martial artists, Heart-Image Externalization appears at least just before breaking through; the earlier it appears, the better one's martial arts talent.

She herself took over five months, reaching nearly halfway through Shedding Tui Fan Qu, before the omen appeared, but this fellow in front of her...

In short, Jiang Ningan, known for her coldness in the Calamity Sword Sect and only caring about the martial arts, felt a sense of frustration for the first time.

Watching the youth who had practiced all night yet remained full of spirit, carrying a schoolbag to school, Jiang Ningan did not use the role-playing method to deceive herself, but began to seriously consider a question: 'Could this fellow truly be a cheat spirit surpassing an unparalleled genius?'

Setting aside the Jiang Ningan who was doubting life, Fang Can carried his schoolbag to the classroom and, as usual, took out his books to review with his classmates.

But just before the whole class was about to enter a study state, an air raid siren rang out across the entire Z City.

'What's going on? Are superpower users fighting again?'

'Hasn't this been happening too frequently recently?'

'I don't care! Rivers of blood! I want to see rivers of blood!'

At this moment, all citizens of Z City began to look towards the outdoors.

Outside, the sky was clear and the air fresh; if not for the sharp alarm, it was no different from usual.

But only those acting behind the scenes knew that Z City was now completely physically isolated from the outside world.

"The signals to and from the entire Z City have been completely blocked, and all intersections have been sealed. Now, let's begin implementing the plan."

Inside the underground base of Z City, researchers looked at the countless screens before them, which displayed surveillance footage of all major roads in the city.

"Next, distribute the technique so that the millions of people in this pilot city can cultivate. Such a huge group should be able to fully understand the characteristics of the Mind-Only Technique."

"Isn't this a bit too radical?" a researcher whispered.

An experienced old man glanced at the other person and said, "This is nothing. Don't forget the Carnival Day coming up; at that time, the scum of the entire country will be dumped into this city to fight. That will be truly radical."

"Now? It's just an appetizer," a researcher shook his head and said. "If these people can really cultivate something, they will have the strength to defend themselves, but... it's difficult!"
