Chapter 1758 1758: The Two Sisters
"My sister is also injured. I just came down from her room upstairs, and the injuries seem quite serious."
Ling Zhenfei was shocked after hearing this. His relationship with Hoshino Meigetsu was no less than that with Hoshino Junka.
If Hoshino Meigetsu weren't the Celestial Maiden, then the person following Ling Zhenfei would have been Hoshino Meigetsu.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Your sister is hurt? Why didn't you say so earlier? I should go check on her."
Hoshino Junka jealously responded, "You look so anxious upon hearing my sister's injury. Do you want both of us to hug together?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Regardless, she's your sister. Why shouldn't I be concerned? We're friends."
Hoshino Junka still seemed a bit skeptical and said, "Do you think I would believe that? Everyone knows my sister has feelings for you, not to mention the time you spent with her in the Watanabe family's house. Who knows what happened?"
Ling Zhenfei did not deny it but said, "It doesn't matter what happened between me and Watanabe Mei. Since she's the Celestial Maiden, she might spend her entire life with the Hoshino Family, right?"
Hoshino Junka listened and felt it somewhat reasonable, saying, "What you say seems to make sense. My sister does appear to be quite pitiful then."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Yes, your sister is indeed pitiable. Let me rescue your poor sister quickly."
Hoshino Junka said, "Let's go. Hopefully, you can heal my sister, along with some other elders in our family, who are also hurt."
Suddenly remembering something, Ling Zhenfei pulled Hoshino Junka back.
"I remembered something very important. You must keep this in mind."
"What is it?" Hoshino Junka asked curiously.
Ling Zhenfei said, "I know the Hoshino family has spies in the Watanabe family, so the Watanabe family must also have spies within your Hoshino family.
I hope that my presence here remains absolutely confidential; only then can we unexpectedly achieve the greatest advantage. Do you understand?"
Hoshino Junka said, "Of course, I understand. Right now, you're our dark horse. Not only are you a powerful force, but you're also the Divine Doctor, surely capable of surprising the Watanabe family."
Ling Zhenfei said, "So I must not let anyone from your Hoshino family know."
Hoshino Junka said, "Then I'll go over there first and send everyone away, and you can follow after."
Ling Zhenfei nodded, "That's exactly what I mean."
The two left the room one after the other, Hoshino Junka leading, Ling Zhenfei following.
This way, as long as Ling Zhenfei didn't want to be seen, no one else would see him.
Ling Zhenfei was using a Soul Out of Body technique, which differed from other cultivators.
Usually, cultivators train with Northern Spiritual Energy, and when reaching a certain Realm, they can use Divine Sense to explore the surroundings.
But this method has many loopholes, as using it or probing allows other cultivators to feel the presence of Divine Sense.
Ling Zhenfei, however, was different. He trained in Dual Cultivation, refining both Northern Spiritual Energy and the soul.
Being able to Dual Cultivate was Ling Zhenfei's fortunate circumstance; the world's cultivation methods are numerous.
In general, they are divided into four types.
The first type is the most common, with the largest number of practitioners cultivating Northern Spiritual Energy.
Using Northern Spiritual Energy to transform into tangible and intangible attacks, with varied means of offense.
The second cultivation method is training in Killing Aura.
Long Hai beside Ling Zhenfei is an example; he's from a military background, having spent years fighting on the battlefield and naturally dispelled a lot of Killing Aura.
If Killing Aura is well cultivated, it can influence someone's mind without even lifting a hand.
A dog seeing someone who has slaughtered dogs for years trembles in fear, even passively letting the dog butcher grab it.
A snake, when it encounters a scene of someone killing and eating snakes, dares not attack, governed by the same rule.
Some might argue that despite having eaten enough chicken to encircle half the globe, chickens aren't afraid upon seeing them.
This is because chickens lack spirituality, or possess very little, so they don't feel fear.
This differs from animals like dogs, cattle, and snakes that have spirituality.
It's the same for humans; if one kills many people, a natural Killing Aura envelops them. If a method is found to refine this aura, naturally they will gain exceptional strength.
A dog fears a dog butcher tremendously, let alone humans; encountering someone with a strong Killing Aura naturally inspires fear.
The third type is soul cultivation. Humans have souls.
Some have strong souls, impervious to external invasion, unaffected by surroundings.
But some people aren't like this; some have weak souls, easily influenced by external factors.
For instance, a person with a strong soul encountering a Killing Aura cultivator wouldn't succumb to its effects.
Yet a weak-souled individual would easily be influenced.
The attack technique for soul cultivators is directly targeting the opponent's soul with their powerful soul.
This method is direct and hard to defend against but has many drawbacks.
If you solely cultivate soul attacks but encounter someone with a strong soul, and can't kill them, you've no other lifesaving tactics.
Therefore, few directly cultivate soul attacks.
Even at the Dawen Realm, a soul cultivator might only cause a brief mental blank for someone in the Dawen Realm if attacking them.
In some cases, if the opponent's power slightly surpasses yours, the impact might be minimal, only causing momentary confusion.
The duration of this confusion varies, changing with the opponent's soul strength.
Thus, to kill an opponent with soul attacks, one must aim at individuals weaker than oneself.
With too many shortcomings, few pursue direct soul cultivation; people like Ling Zhenfei who can Dual Cultivate are truly rare.
The other cultivation method is martial arts.
What is martial arts? It's the so-called Martial Arts; all martial arts across the world fit in, be it kickboxing or jujitsu.
Ninjas cultivate martial arts through sheer physical prowess, lacking Northern Spiritual Energy.
Others focus on speed cultivation, embracing the combat theory of attacking with unbeatable swiftness, people Ling Zhenfei has routinely encountered.
Below the Dawen Realm, martial arts practitioners might be able to put up a fight.
However, once Ling Zhenfei reaches the Dawen Realm himself, he doesn't believe those who cultivate martial arts alone can best him fairly.
Yet many cultivators also study martial arts in tandem.
If cultivating Northern Spiritual Energy equates to Qigong, then martial arts are cultivation of Technique.
Using solely Northern Spiritual Energy without Technique is naturally deficient.
Thus, many cultivators inadvertently pursue both Northern Spiritual Energy and martial arts Dual Cultivation.
Especially soul cultivators, for whom learning martial arts is essential.
Martial arts develop self-defense, mutual survival.
When combat fails, soul attacks are viable alternatives.
If soul attacks are ineffective, physical attacks are available; sometimes deploying both achieves optimal effects simultaneously.
