Chapter 35 As the saying goes, guests are always welcome.
However, to be honest, the Xuanjian Sect's reputation wasn't that great to begin with...
However, in any case, it's best to avoid some things from happening if possible.
After all, although Peng Yan wasn't a good person, his sister wasn't bad.
If Peng Yan really died in the Xuanjian Sect, then Chu Xiao would really be too embarrassed to face Peng Xuan.
You can't just carry Peng Xuan's brother's body to the Peng family's house, knock on the door, and say:
Sorry, but your brother accidentally fell and died while climbing a mountain at our Xuanjian Sect... or something like that?
No one would believe such a thing. At that time, Chu Xiao, as the murderer, would not only have to pay compensation and apologize, but also be investigated by the Dao Alliance...
At that time, all sorts of troubles will come knocking.
Therefore, it is undoubtedly a great blessing that Peng Yan did not die.
"It must be because he doesn't practice hard enough. Otherwise, how could he not even withstand one of my punches?" Chu Xiao sighed.
In fact, Peng Yan is not weak.
At least among his peers in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, there were not many who could defeat Peng Yan.
The reason he was instantly killed by Chu Xiao with a single punch was because...
There are two reasons.
Firstly, although Chu Xiao has only just entered the first level of Foundation Establishment, he is following the cultivation path of the tenth level of Qi Refining, so the difficulty of his Foundation Establishment and the improvement of his strength far exceed those of others.
Secondly, Chu Xiao used the [Heart-Shattering Fist] technique.
Is there something special about this technique?
No, not at all.
This basic technique is indeed not very special, and it is more difficult to improve proficiency than other techniques.
Each skill has its own proficiency level, ranging from low to high:
Beginner, initial glimpse, mastery, slight achievement, comprehensive understanding, consummate skill, pinnacle, harmony between man and nature.
This skill requires a high level of comprehension, so many people have practiced for years without ever reaching even the initial stage of the Heart-Shattering Fist.
But it's different in Chu Xiao's hands.
Because Chu Xiao's proficiency level in [Heart-Shattering Fist] is...
Integrate.
If Luo Xingyi knew that Chu Xiao had mastered the Heart-Shattering Fist, she would definitely wonder why he was at such a high level.
Chu Xiao had only recently returned to the path of cultivation, so how could he improve his proficiency in cultivation techniques so quickly?
the reason is simple.
—Because Chu Xiao has been frequently using the [Heart-Shattering Fist] technique in the games "Alice in Wonderland" and "Persist to the End?".
As mentioned before, in this world, game creation relies not on code, but on formations.
However, formations are not a panacea; some things still require cultivators to do themselves.
For example, the attack methods of monsters and characters are not generated out of thin air.
This requires the player to personally unleash the technique, then record it using an array, and transfer it to a monster or character.
The "Heart-Shattering Fist" technique was one of the techniques that Chu Xiao most often included when creating games.
After all, this technique isn't particularly profound, the formation inscription speed is faster, and punching is an action that most monsters and characters possess.
Therefore, the Heart-Shattering Fist became Chu Xiao's first choice for motion capture.
The Spirit Network contains countless spiritual energies, so there's no need to worry about having enough spiritual energy when unleashing techniques.
If Chu Xiao were to practice the Heart-Shattering Fist in reality, he could only unleash it at full power five times before his spiritual energy supply would become insufficient.
You can use the [Heart-Shattering Fist] in the Spirit Network, so the problem of insufficient spiritual power is no longer an issue.
In other words, he can use the Heart-Shattering Fist countless times in the Spirit Network.
—Provided that Chu Xiao's spirit can hold up.
That's right, spiritual energy is no longer consumed, but the stamina and patience that the Spirit Network can provide are not available.
Why doesn't anyone improve their skill proficiency on the Spirit Network like Chu Xiao?
Because using techniques in the spiritual network is more tiring than in reality.
After all, the Spirit Network operates using one's own soul, and not everyone is like Chu Xiao, a "transmigrator" who has awakened memories of his past life.
Without the support of immense soul power and strong comprehension, it is impossible to replicate the operation of cultivating techniques on the Spirit Network.
Coincidentally, Chu Xiao possesses no shortage of spiritual power, comprehension, or inspiration.
With the support of many factors, Chu Xiao was able to cultivate so smoothly on the Spirit Network.
That's why his proficiency with the Heart-Shattering Fist is so high.
How proficient is one in integrating and applying knowledge?
It can be said that this applies to anything other than the cultivation method that the cultivator himself is practicing.
Other auxiliary cultivation methods, even for Nascent Soul stage cultivators, may not all be mastered to the point of complete understanding.
The improvement brought about by the proficiency of the technique is enormous. Coupled with the power generated by the tenth level of Qi Refining that has modified the body, this is what made Chu Xiao's punch so terrifying.
According to Chu Xiao's own estimation, if he were to unleash the full power of the Heart-Shattering Fist, even a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator would have to avoid its edge.
As for not avoiding it?
Hehe, sorry, the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls has collected quite a few souls from the game, but this is the first time it has collected souls from the real world.
Pulling his wandering thoughts back, Chu Xiao approached the unconscious Peng Yan, bent down, and carried him on his back.
"Senior Sister Luo, let me take Fellow Daoist Peng back to his home."
Chu Xiao said, "As the saying goes, guests are always welcome."
"Fellow Daoist Peng came to our Xuanjian Sect so enthusiastically to request a sparring match, and even helped me break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. I would feel a little guilty if I didn't do something in return."
Upon hearing this, Luo Xingyi glanced at Chu Xiao, whose expression remained unchanged, and his eyes widened slightly.
Her junior brother... still has the thickest skin as ever.
He was the one who killed him, yet he's still pretending to be a good Samaritan. He's utterly shameless...
However, Luo Xingyi did not blame Chu Xiao.
No matter what, Chu Xiao did nothing wrong.
First of all, the idea of exchanging ideas was proposed by Peng Yan himself.
He was the one who secretly lifted the three-point agreement that suppressed his cultivation level, and he was also the one who came to cause trouble and refused to listen to others.
Because Peng Yan's attitude was so rude, Luo Xingyi didn't have much affection for him.
To be precise, when Peng Yan secretly used all his strength to try to harm Chu Xiao, Luo Xingyi actually had some murderous intent in his heart.
That's her junior brother. How could she stand idly by if someone wanted to hurt him?
At that moment, she truly wanted to kill Peng Yan to protect her junior brother.
Peng Xuan was the one who made a mistake, and if someone should be punished for it, it should be her, not Chu Xiao.
That's why she initially suggested that she be the one to accept the challenge.
In fact, she initially planned to go easy on Peng Yan out of remorse, letting him injure her, as a way of settling things with Peng Xuan.
But unexpectedly, it wasn't her who was injured, nor even the junior brother she was worried about, but...
Peng Yan came to cause trouble.
