Comprehension Ability: Creating and teaching the Dao in various worlds

Chapter 59: Chapter 56: The Mysteries of the Flesh
“Hello.”

Lin Yuan said with a smile.

At the same time, he looked at the other person with a hint of curiosity.

Loulan He’s exposed personal information was scarce.

Besides his name, there was only his place of residence.

“Thunder Rain Star Region?”

It was a high-level star domain very far away from Chikun Star Domain.

Lin Yuan didn’t know much about it.

However, to pay a hundred million civilization coins just for an hour of guidance…

This Loulan He, surely he was either rich or noble.

“How does Elder Lin plan to guide me?”

Loulan He asked.

“You’ve paid the money, so you make the call,” Lin Yuan said very politely.

One hundred million for an hour.

That’s nearly thirty thousand civilization coins per second.

The few words that Lin Yuan had just spoken had already netted him hundreds of thousands of civilization coins.

“Then let’s spar.”

“My father once said, a powerful evolutionary path surely wouldn’t lack combat ability.”

Loulan He took several steps back, his gaze growing sharper.

“Be careful, Elder Lin. Although this body of mine hasn’t undergone specific cultivation, it’s naturally strong, not inferior to most Second Rank Evolvers,” Loulan He warned.

“Come on,” Lin Yuan said, his eyes calm.

Loulan He didn’t give him a sense of danger.

Whoosh.

Loulan He’s figure disappeared.

In the next instant, he appeared beside Lin Yuan.

And slammed a punch down.

“Such quick speed.”

Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised; he could tell that this was purely physical speed without using any other powers.

Facing Loulan He’s downward punch, Lin Yuan raised his right hand, blocked the punch,

then the Dao of Taiji operated, borrowing the power from that punch and directly blasting it onto Loulan He’s body.

Bang.

Loulan He’s figure flew backward, slamming hard into the ground dozens of meters away.

He immediately got up from the ground, his eyes wide as he looked at Lin Yuan.

“What kind of technique is this, so soft and weak, how come the punch I threw ended up hitting me?”

Loulan He was somewhat annoyed.

If he’d been thoroughly crushed by sheer strength, he would have accepted it.

But the feeling that he was just a bit short of victory made Loulan He feel like he could win.

“Again.”

Loulan He’s figure disappeared once more.

Lin Yuan smiled slightly.

The Dao of Taiji, the transformation of Yin and Yang, was best at using the opponent’s force against them, the classic ‘four ounces to move a thousand pounds.’

An opponent like Loulan He, who only knew to use strength and speed without any technique,

was simply naturally countered by the Dao of Taiji.

Although it’s said that ‘sheer force can overcome any technique,’ at the moment, Loulan He was far from that level.

“Aaaahhhh!”

Loulan He roared loudly, his speed increasing again as the mysterious patterns on his forehead faintly lit up.

This time Loulan He had learned, not attacking Lin Yuan right away,

but rather approaching Lin Yuan’s blind spot from behind before making his move.

Bang.

As expected.

Loulan He flew backward again.

“I don’t believe this.”

Loulan He stood up with a whoosh.

If this had been the real world, Loulan He’s body by this point would have been seriously injured.

But this was the Virtual World, and with just a thought, his body was restored to its original state.

Shh.

Loulan He rushed in front of Lin Yuan and punched him in the shoulder.

But for some reason,

Loulan He felt as if there was a vortex inside Lin Yuan,

into which all the external forces would merge, only to be sent back out unchanged.

Bang.

Loulan He crashed a hundred meters away.

“Don’t rely solely on your strength,” Lin Yuan reminded him.

If it had been a real fight, an opponent like Loulan He wouldn’t have even been able to get within a hundred meters of Lin Yuan.

But now that Loulan He was paying a hefty sum for Lin Yuan’s guidance, it was naturally not the same treatment,

Lin Yuan tried his best to advise the other party, allowing him to experience up close the ‘vortex’ of the Dao of Taiji that transformed others’ strength.

Even to give Loulan He a deeper understanding, Lin Yuan deliberately suppressed his own strength to the First Rank level.

Lin Yuan had to make Loulan He feel that his money was well spent.

Boom.

Boom.

Boom.

Time after time.

Each time Loulan He was sent flying back, coughing up blood.

This made Loulan He feel extremely frustrated.

Why every time… he was just that little bit short.

Just that little bit short.

In the end.

“Stop.”

“I’m done fighting.”

Loulan He sat down on the ground with a thud.

He then had his intelligent assistant analyze the footage of their fight.

“Are you saying Elder Lin, from start to finish, only used First Rank strength?”

Upon detecting this through the intelligent assistant, Loulan He was instantly shocked.

He was clearly aware that his physical prototype came from an extremely rare special species deep in the universe, exchanged at great cost by his father.

Having a body replicated from such a special species held tremendous potential and terrifying aptitude, reaching the level comparable to that of a Second Rank without any cultivation.

And Elder Lin was just using First Rank strength to beat him up?

“Elder Lin, is this the Martial Path Evolutionary Path?”

Loulan He immediately jogged to Lin Yuan’s side.

“Indeed.”

“This is the way of Taiji.”

Lin Yuan gave a slight nod.

“The way of Taiji is not the way of strength; it leans more towards the grand momentum…”

Lin Yuan began explaining patiently.

“Hmm, hmm…”

Loulan He seemed to understand yet not quite grasp it.

“This way, by injecting a wisp of the power of Taiji into your body, it can last for a month. If you ponder this wisp of Taiji power regularly, it will help you in cultivating the way of Taiji,”

Lin Yuan said with a smile.

This method was similar to perceiving the essence of Taiyang and Taiyin in the True Martial Sword.

However, with Lin Yuan’s current strength, the power of Taiji would have difficulty existing outside the body for a long duration, but for Loulan He, it was enough.

“Okay.”

Loulan He nodded.

At this moment, he developed a deep interest in the Martial Path Evolutionary Path.

He, Loulan He, also wanted to be as dashing as Lin Yuan—standing still and sending the enemy flying.

Too cool.

Seeing Loulan He’s agreement,

Lin Yuan placed his right hand on Loulan He’s shoulder.

A wisp of Taiji power, formed from the combination of the Power of Taiyin and the Power of Taiyang, slowly entered Loulan He’s body.

As the power of Taiji entered Loulan He’s body, Lin Yuan’s perception naturally spread within.

“What is this?”

Lin Yuan’s pupils slightly contracted.

Loulan He’s physical body appeared similar to that of a normal human, but its essence was completely different.

Lin Yuan noticed that the countless blood vessels within the body intertwined and combined to form certain special patterns,

and at the deepest regions of his organs, at the cellular level of the microcosm, myriad runes were flowing.

All of this formed a kind of perfect balance, all confined within a single body.

“Perfect…”

“Truly perfect…”

Lin Yuan started to become captivated.

[Your perception is against the natural order, observing an unknown physical body, should you gain enlightenment]

[Your perception is against the natural order, observing an unknown physical body, should you gain enlightenment]

Countless spiritual lights surged into Lin Yuan’s mind as he began to comprehend Loulan He’s physique.

Lin Yuan had the feeling that if he fully understood this body, he could improve the essence of his own physique.

This had tremendous special significance for Lin Yuan.

In the short term, improving the physical endowment of his body in the Main World would enhance the foundation of his strength and speed in the future.

In the long run, every time Lin Yuan traveled through the Door to the Myriad Realms and his consciousness descended upon a new body, each one could benefit from this understanding.

During the second passage, if Lin Yuan could fully understand the essence of such a physique,

it would be impossible for him to be thrown out into the wild and face a life and death crisis immediately after birth.

With this kind of body as a prototype, Lin Yuan would only need a few hours to complete the transformation of an infant’s body.

By then, not to mention tearing apart tigers and leopards with his bare hands, he would at least not be much weaker than an adult.

“Teacher Yuan, are you alright?”

Loulan He, seeing that Lin Yuan had not yet removed his right hand from his shoulder,

became somewhat puzzled.

“I’m fine.”

“Your physical body is somewhat special.”

“It needs some time.”

Lin Yuan casually found an excuse, looking towards Loulan He’s body with even more intense fervor in his gaze.

This made Loulan He somewhat nervous, but recalling Lin Yuan’s strength from when he had soundly defeated him, he obediently stood still.

After half an hour,

Lin Yuan reluctantly lifted his hand.

“All done,”

Lin Yuan let out a light sigh of relief.

Although he hadn’t completely penetrated the secrets of Loulan He’s body,

Lin Yuan had memorized all the structures of the body.

What remained was nothing more than continuing to ponder back home.

“Okay.”

“Thanks, Teacher Yuan,”

Loulan He also felt the ‘power of Taiji’ within his body.

“When the time comes,”

“I’ll seek advice from Teacher Yuan again if I have any questions,”

Loulan He felt he had gained a lot.

Little did he realize that Lin Yuan had seen through to his very core.

Shuiyue Residential Complex.

Residence number thirty-two.

The underground training facility.

Lin Yuan’s consciousness disengaged from the Virtual World.

His mind was still filled with the many mysteries within Loulan He’s physique.

“Truly… an excellent gift from heaven…”

Lin Yuan couldn’t help but sigh; using the Door to the Myriad Realms, he had traveled twice through time, spending a hundred years to step into the Second Layer.

Meanwhile, this body had naturally grown into the Second Layer shortly after birth.

Simply monstrous.

“This body, it must not be purely human…”

Lin Yuan surmised inwardly,

during his perception, he vaguely sensed an ancient and vast meaning contained within.

“Nevertheless,”

“As long as I comprehend it fully, it will be mine.”

Lin Yuan closed his eyes and continued his contemplation.

In the time to follow, Lin Yuan divided some of his focus on comprehending the Third Rank, intending to comprehend the mysteries of this particular body,

striving to fully understand this kind of physique before his third traverse,

so that if his consciousness descended into the body of an infant again, he would not be as helpless as during the previous passage in dealing with extreme situations.

Two months went by in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Loulan He sought out Lin Yuan twice more, paying two billion for the guidance.

Lin Yuan seized the opportunity to take another careful look at Loulan He’s physique, getting ever closer to full comprehension.

One day, Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, ending his seclusion for the day,

because

the tournament on Canglan Star had begun.
