Chapter 55: Chapter 44 Guiding Skill

"Bang!"

A loud blast echoed in the living room.

At that moment, Li Yi had his boxing stance ready and threw a punch.

The fist power converged, making it exhilarating to watch.

"Sister Lin, did you see that clearly? This is the boxing technique I’ve learned. Unfortunately, I haven’t learned it completely, only one boxing stance. I can only slowly figure out the rest myself," Li Yi said, as he retracted his fist seriously.

After watching Li Yi’s punch, Lin Yue pondered deeply for a long time, seemingly analyzing the secrets of the punch in her mind. However, she soon realized that although Li Yi’s boxing technique appeared simple, it actually contained profound human mysteries and was a culmination of a cultivation system, immensely precious.

Once mastered, it could be immediately integrated and become part of one’s foundation.

"Li Yi, your punch is very basic, but precisely because it’s basic, it’s extraordinarily precious. If you continue to learn, you could develop your own unique martial art based on the boxing stance you just demonstrated. I now understand why Yang Yilong is hesitant to let you go," Lin Yue said with a grave expression.

"You probably don’t know, but Yang Yilong previously learned a Guiding Skill that can direct the body’s energy. You know, we cultivators continuously absorb cosmic energy to evolve, but after the energy is absorbed, it doesn’t just disappear; it’s stored in the cells," Lin Yue continued intensely.

"The human body has sixty-trillion cells, and we cultivators have even more, at least eighty-trillion. This is because our skeletal density and muscle density are higher. The Guiding Skill directs the cosmic energy contained in these eighty-trillion cells and gathers it in one place."

"If he learned your boxing technique and combined it with that Guiding Skill, given Yang Yilong’s talent, it’s very likely he could integrate the two and evolve into a formidable High Martial artist."

Li Yi was immediately astonished, "Guiding Skill? There is such a thing?"

However, he quickly recalled how Yang Yilong’s right arm gathered brilliant and dazzling human energy, forming an invisible sharp treasure sword.

That must have been an application of the Guiding Skill.

But he soon calmed down and chuckled, "Sister Lin, although your concerns are reasonable, Yang Yilong cannot learn my boxing technique."

"Oh, why not? If you demonstrated your movements in his underground training facility to Yang Yilong, he would have a high chance of learning. I’ve been there; his basement is equipped with many concealed high-definition cameras. If he captured your boxing movements and used a supercomputer to analyze them, he could definitely reconstruct your boxing technique. Even though I really dislike him now, I have to admit his talent," Lin Yue said.

Lin Yue shook her head slightly, feeling that Li Yi underestimated how fearsome Yang Yilong could be.

"No, Sister Lin, you are mistaken. I’ve anticipated all the measures you just mentioned. However, I didn’t teach Yang Yilong the complete boxing technique. I held back, teaching nine truths and one falsehood," Li Yi explained.

"The more powerful the false fist power, the greater the damage to the body. If he really combines the Guiding Skill with the boxing techniques, the consequences might be even more severe."

"What? You taught him a false boxing technique?"

Lin Yue was initially shocked, but then she burst into laughter, "Haha, that’s hilarious! Yang Yilong has been clever all his life, but he got played by you. How did you manage to deceive him? Quick, tell me."

"It’s quite simple; the boxing stance is just a posture for throwing a punch, something very basic and unchangeable. But once mastered and integrated, it becomes something else," Li Yi said.

After speaking, he casually sat down on the couch and lay back languidly.

"Watch closely."

Following that, he raised his hand and threw a punch.

It seemed casual, but the punch erupted with the same explosive fist power, accompanied by a loud blast.

However, this blast was not as sharp as before, somewhat hollow.

"This is the wrong way to exert force, and it easily damages the body. Sister Lin, look at my back," Li Yi said as he stood up, feeling a pull on his back and pointing to it.

Li Yi’s back showed wounds and bandages were slightly torn due to the force.

"So it is. Yang Yilong hasn’t seen you box before, so even if you demonstrated false boxing to him, he would take it as real. No wonder he couldn’t figure it out," Lin Yue’s eyes lit up, and then she understood the situation.

"If he really came to you, Sister Lin, to negotiate buying my boxing technique, considering the work I did for him before, I might actually sell it to him. Dragging me to the basement and attempting to force a deal? I won’t tolerate that; treat me with respect, and I’ll return it tenfold. He’s scheming, so he can’t blame me for playing dirty."

Li Yi, after finishing his speech, suddenly changed the topic. He looked at Lin Yue and said, "If Sister Lin wants to learn, I can teach you, as long as you promise not to pass it on to anyone else."

Lin Yue was his guide in the path of cultivation, had shown him kindness, and had helped him through the most difficult times. Without Sister Lin, Li Yi would still be an ordinary person, so he wanted to repay this kindness.

"Teach me this boxing technique?" Lin Yue’s eyes widened immediately, and her heart began to pound.

What a mess.

What was this excitement all about?

Lin Yue forcibly calmed herself down, her eyes shifting slightly, then she smiled and said, "If I really learned it, I could never repay you in this lifetime, so don’t use this to test me."

"It’s okay. You taught me meditation, I teach you boxing. We improve together, which is a good thing. Don’t talk about being unable to repay."

Seeing this situation, Lin Yue also began to contemplate and then added, "That being said, what do you take me for? If I took such a great advantage for nothing, I would feel guilty later, and since there are no wages without merit, how about this—let me handle the dealings with Yang Yilong, and I’ll help you get that Guiding Skill from him. If successful, then consider teaching me the boxing."

"Will that work? I just tricked him," Li Yi expressed his doubt.

Lin Yue rolled her eyes: "He doesn’t know you held back teaching the boxing, and his Guiding Skill isn’t his alone, it’s learned too. Your boxing is far stronger than his Guiding Skill, even if you taught only 90%, it would still greatly benefit Yang Yilong. Seeing you suffer such a loss, I can’t swallow that. Besides, if someone bullies you and you don’t fight back, they will only push you further. So, no matter the situation, you must fight back immediately, and you absolutely cannot let others think you are easy to bully."

"If successful, then you won’t be at a loss. One boxing technique in exchange for one Guiding Skill, and even if it fails, at least it can prove there’s nothing wrong with your boxing, keeping him from suspecting and bothering you in the future. Sister Lin is here to cover for you."

Li Yi nodded. "Okay, then we’ll go along with Sister Lin, and if successful, let’s see if we can also combine these two techniques to deduce a stronger boxing technique."

"You’re really generous, not taking the techniques seriously. Do you know how expensive techniques are in the market?" Lin Yue said with a smile, winking.

Li Yi shrugged, indicating he didn’t mind.

His stinginess was selective; he was always generous to those who sincerely helped him, but he would not be a fool for those with ulterior motives.

"Alright, let’s not talk about this for now. When I get the Guiding Skill, we’ll talk again. I came to see you for another reason as well, which is to find out why your cultivation speed is so fast." Lin Yue said, "You’ve entered the Spirit Medium Realm not just because you stumbled into Ghost Street and had a fortunate encounter, but also because, as I’ve said before, I suspect there’s something special about the place you practice."

"Your home might be situated where cosmic energy is active, more suitable for cultivation, so I want to explore and see if it’s as I suspected."

"If that’s really the case, then I will immediately buy the apartment beneath you or next door, and we can be neighbors, cultivating together."

With this thought in mind, Lin Yue immediately sat down on the spot and began trying to meditate with her eyes closed.

"By the way, Sister Lin, after entering the Spirit Medium Realm, I feel the speed of my body evolving has noticeably slowed down. Is this normal?" Li Yi suddenly remembered something and asked a question about cultivation.

"Of course, it’s normal. You are in the Spirit Medium Realm now. Even if you do nothing daily, you need to consume cosmic energy, and the stronger you are, the more cosmic energy you consume daily. It’s like babies need milk, children need food. The stronger the individual, the greater the consumption. Did you think the law of conservation of energy was false?" Lin Yue opened her eyes and shot him a look. "When the day comes that your daily absorption of cosmic energy can’t keep up with the consumption, then you’ve reached your limit. That’s why the higher the efficiency of cultivation, the greater the future achievements. Honestly, those with cultivation efficiency below fifty percent, I wouldn’t recommend long-term cultivation, just open a Spirit Medium and that’s enough."

"Of course, there are ways to change this, like changing the cultivation environment to one where the surrounding pure cosmic energy is abundant, such as a Cultivation Cabin, hiring a guide, or entering an Energy Field of a Mysterious Object. Golden Academy has such a Mysterious Object that can increase the density of cosmic energy within a certain range. The masters of our country are all heading there."

"Shallow waters don’t produce True Dragons, this principle hasn’t changed since ancient times. In fact, our world’s cosmic energy is abundant, sadly polluted. If one day we can find and solve the source of this pollution, then imagine, global cultivation, billions of cultivators gathered together—it’s a frightening thought."

"Alright, Li Yi, I’m going to meditate now. If you have any more questions about cultivation, ask me later. Ever since I entered this room, I felt something was off, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. When I meditate, my inspiration will become stronger, and then I might be able to sense what’s wrong without using my eyes."

Upon finishing, Lin Yue closed her eyes again.

This time, Li Yi did not disturb her; instead, he felt somewhat uneasy.

Because Li Yi thought there was nothing wrong with his home.

The problem was that incomplete Mysterious Object.

It’s just that Lin Yue had not considered the Mysterious Object, as there had not been the slightest leak of information about it.

"Forget it, let nature take its course. Rather than worrying about this, it’s better to worry about whether Crow might suddenly show up someday, after all, those from Crow are the real potential enemies." Li Yi thought to himself and stopped dwelling on these matters.
