Chapter 165: Suggestion (I)

Each person had a different level of control over their internal force. The same solution wouldn’t work for everyone. Therefore, Chen Yiming thought for a while. After about a minute, he asked, “Have you considered adding another cultivation technique?”

“Two types of internal force are already very difficult for me,” Su Mo’er explained truthfully. The light in her eyes instantly dimmed.

Division Head Zhou had also mentioned Chen Yiming’s suggestion.

Introducing a third type of internal force into her body would create a barrier between the conflicting black fog and ice internal forces.

However, internal force was created from the combination of the physical body, mind, and concept diagram. Different people had different spiritual talents, causing their control over internal force to be worlds apart.

For most people in the warrior realm with not much talent, the strength of their spiritual power only allowed them to control one type of internal force. The second stage of the warrior realm was their limit.

However, this limit was only the theoretical limit. In reality, less than one in a hundred could create a miracle and complete the transformation of internal force.

Those who barely had some spiritual talent could control two different types of internal force in their bodies at the same time to support a secondary cultivation technique.

However, in the end, these people only had slightly better control over their internal force than the weakest warriors. About one in ten of them could complete the transformation of their internal force.

The remaining nine people would feel that there was no hope of breaking through, so they would use a second cultivation technique. When the two internal force attributes complemented each other, the strength of the internal forces would be 20 to 30% stronger than a single internal force.

Above that was a genius with spiritual talent who could control more than three types of internal forces in his body at the same time.

Most of these geniuses could complete the transformation of their internal force. A small number of them could go on the path to fuse their internal forces.

Chen Yiming frowned.

The most common and simple solution would not work for Su Mo’er.

She could only consider the ratio of the black fog and ice internal forces in her body. It was equivalent to using Su Mo’er’s talent to tailor a solution for her.

This way, a new problem appeared. It was difficult to accurately quantify one’s spiritual talent, so it could only be roughly divided into several levels.

Chen Yiming could only make a judgment based on Su Mo’er’s control of the two internal forces.

Once there was a problem with this solution, at best, it would waste Su Mo’er’s cultivation time. At worst, she would lose control of the two internal forces in her body, causing the two internal forces to collide and explode in her body like fireworks.

Seeing this, Su Mo’er suddenly said, “Don’t worry, I’m not just consulting one person’s opinion. If anything goes wrong, I won’t blame anyone.”

Chen Yiming heaved a sigh of relief. He understood that Su Mo’er wasn’t a rash person, so he combined the information he had read in the morning and the experience he had gained from trying to fuse the two types of internal force, and proposed a solution.

“I thought of a solution based on the assumption that your talent is sufficient to barely control the two internal forces of different attributes. You can cultivate the black fog internal force and the ice attribute internal force at a ratio of 7:3.”

Su Mo’er stared at Chen Yiming in disbelief. After a moment’s hesitation, she asked, “Of all the people I’ve consulted, like the disciples of the Myriad Phenomena Sect and Division Head Zhou who have studied the cultivation techniques, everyone has emphasized that safety should be put first. They suggested that I should mainly use the ice attribute internal force and treat the black fog internal force as secondary.”

Hearing this, Chen Yiming smiled and said, “The cultivation technique was created by someone else. How can there be no risk when taking on a different cultivation path?”

Chen Yiming had naturally not made the suggestion to trick Su Mo’er.

The highest level of personnel that Su Mo’er could come into contact with was probably someone at the level of the division head.

This way, other than Chen Yiming, almost all the people she had consulted about her problem could only provide a solution based on the information left behind by their seniors.

Other than Division Head Zhou, these people had probably never experienced the fusion of internal forces of different attributes.

As for Division Head Zhou, he probably wouldn’t rashly test out the combination of two conflicting internal forces on himself without having the prior experience of his predecessors as a reference.

On the other hand, for Chen Yiming’s case, since the meteorite and ice shared some similarities, even if Chen Yiming had never tried it himself, he could still deduce the corresponding solution from the experience he had gained from trying to fuse the black fog internal force with the strength-based internal force.

Chen Yiming was 70% sure that if she cultivated the black fog and ice internal forces at a ratio of 7:3, the black fog would surround the ice crystals and be dispersed.

This ratio and form perfectly matched the effect that Su Mo’er wanted to display the most. If she focused on the ice attribute internal force, she would be giving up on the Mantis Snake Sword Technique, which she was best at.

Su Mo’er blushed and explained, “I didn’t mean that. It’s just that your solution is the complete opposite of everyone else’s…”

In the end, she did not continue. Her meaning was clear.

If Chen Yiming was right, wouldn’t that indirectly prove that even Division Head Zhou had lost to him in terms of their understanding of the internal force?

Chen Yiming only smiled and didn’t reply.

He didn’t have anything to lose even if Su Mo’er didn’t trust in his solution. However, if she did, he would naturally provide additional help to further his research on the fusion of internal forces.

Suddenly, a few voices sounded from outside the library.

At the time when Su Mo’er consulted Chen Yiming about her problem, it was already dinnertime. Other than the two of them, the other disciples who were reading in the library had all gone to the canteen to eat.

Now that the disciples who had gone to the canteen to eat had returned, Su Mo’er thanked him and ran out of the library.

Chen Yiming glanced at her departing figure and shook his head. He placed the book “On the Maximum Power Amplification of the Combination of Primary and Secondary Techniques” back on the bookshelf and left the library.

No matter how beautiful a girl was, he did not need to have her in his life.

Even without Su Mo’er, there would be another Lin Mo’er.

His own cultivation was the most important thing. Chen Yiming couldn’t wait to test the power of the combination of the strength-based internal force and the black fog internal force.

…

After a simple lunch in the canteen of the Mantis Snake division, Chen Yiming returned to his room.

The dark night provided him with an environment where he could advance and retreat freely. Chen Yiming had already heard about the actions of the Kunshan Sect and the Blue Cloud Sword Sect from the other disciples.

Therefore, he planned to go down the mountain in the evening and find a remote place to experiment.

He pushed open the door of the house and saw Dai Yuanhang reading through some information.

There was only one person in the entire house. Qian Bingnan and Bai Hengliang were not there.

Dai Yuanhang was a talented researcher in the martial arts world, and he disliked fighting from the bottom of his heart.

Ever since Chen Yiming entered the house, he had only seen Dai Yuanhang in the library and the house. Furthermore, he was always reading through some information.

Dai Yuanhang put down the documents in his hand and looked at Chen Yiming.

“How is it? Did you understand the information in the library?”

In the morning, after the two of them exchanged a few words, Dai Yuanhang’s impression of Chen Yiming changed to that of someone who would personally practice and experience things before looking up information to solve any problems he encountered.

In Dai Yuanhang’s opinion, this type of person was stronger than someone like Qian Bingnan who only focused on his muscles.

However, a week’s time spent together was too short. They still needed to communicate more before he could make an accurate judgment.

“It’s alright. There are all kinds of information in the library of the Mantis Snake division. It’s much better than below the mountain,” Chen Yiming replied casually.

This was the truth. Almost all the warriors in East Lake City were at the bottom of this realm and would remain at this level for the rest of their lives. This included the Mantis Snake Sword School. Most of the information on martial arts was about the disciple realm, and there were almost no records about anything above the warrior realm.

This caused Chen Yiming to rely completely on his talent from the system to break through so far.
