Yan Jinghong's Melancholy

The art style changes drastically in the middle of the story. The protagonist, an incompetent person with extraordinary powers, discovers that incompetent people are often discriminated against and oppressed by those with superpowers. He then comes up with the idea of passing on his martial arts skills to the incompetent and puts it into practice, because superpowers are innate, but martial arts can be acquired through training.

As more and more seemingly powerless individuals gained power comparable to those with superpowers, the heroes panicked. They felt this would threaten their own superior status, so they threatened the protagonist to stop spreading his martial arts. When the protagonist refused, the heroes began to suppress him, even resorting to assassination to eliminate him.

Later, the protagonist completely liberated his mind, leading all the incompetents and shouting the slogan "We don't need heroes, we are all heroes," thus launching a red revolution. On one hand, they fought against the monster forces that feared all humans gaining great power, and on the other hand, they wanted to eliminate the League of Legends, which was a vested interest group, thus launching a magnificent battle.

"I only wrote three thousand words this morning, that's a bit inefficient."

Si Ming glanced at the few pages of manuscript in front of him and stretched his slightly sore wrists.

Because he doesn't need to conceive a plot, all the content is written in one go, and there's no writer's block. All he needs to do is recall and copy.

However, this efficiency was still too low. Although handwriting speed could not compare to typing, he vaguely remembered an author named Ni Kuang in his previous life who could write 20,000 words a day by hand, and not just a burst of writing on a single day, but a consistent update of more than 20,000 words every day.

Such terrifying hand speed is simply unmatched. Si Ming doesn't necessarily need to achieve the same speed, but he should at least reach half of it.

"I wonder if there are any martial arts related to writing. Logically speaking, since there are School of Fiction in this world, they should have created some martial arts techniques that can speed up writing, after all, there's a weapon like the Judging Official... Hmm, I should check the Scripture Repository at the New Mohist Bookstore and the Mohist Knight Guard Base."

Without hesitation, Si Ming went downstairs and was about to open the door when he ran into Auntie Liu.

"You've come at the perfect time; I was just looking for you!"

"Uh, what do you need me for?"

Si Ming recalled that he had never had any business dealings with Auntie Liu, even though he and her daughter were childhood sweethearts; he was basically ignored as if they were invisible.

Auntie Liu explained, "As you know, Ying Zhou injured his wrist, and he is a promising future star that the company highly regards. In addition, the company suggested that he participate in the competition, so the company plans to pay for him to go to the Su Kingdom to receive top-notch medical treatment, hoping to heal his wrist as soon as possible, without having to wait for him to open up his eight extraordinary meridians."

The Su Kingdom was founded by Agricultural School, Food School, and Medical School. Among them, Medical School were also known as School of Medicine. The character "Su" means the growth of plants. Since Agricultural School, Food School, and School of Medicine all had to deal with plants, they used "Su" as the name of their state.

In Si Ming's previous life, medical skills were basically on par with technological advancements, as modern medicine heavily relied on scientific equipment. However, in the Sea Continent, despite the highest level of technology in Su State, it still lagged behind the Su Kingdom in pure medicine. This was because the existence of Internal Cultivation in this world freed doctors from dependence on scientific equipment, allowing them to perform various surgeries, large and small, with just their hands.

Students aspiring to medicine are often recommended to practice martial arts such as "Divine Eye Art," "Heavenly Eye Technique," and "Butcher Ding's Ox-Carving Saber Technique." The first two Internal Cultivation, in particular, allow one to see cell structures directly with the naked eye once mastered. Whether it is an infection or a tumor, everything is immediately clear. When making a cut, the knife energy is precise down to the micrometer level.

It is said that Sea Continent's enlightenment in physics came from a Grandmaster of the Void Returning Realm who saw the molecular structure of matter with the naked eye, thus prompting him to contemplate the truth of this world and step into the microscopic realm.

"This is a good thing, but what does it have to do with me?" Si Ming asked.

He has no intention of going abroad for the time being. Although he would like to see the world and experience different customs, he is currently in a period of rapid growth in his martial arts skills. He wishes there were forty-eight hours in a day, so he naturally does not want to waste time on other things and hinder his cultivation. In the morning, while he was writing, he was still practicing his Internal Cultivation under the lamplight while naked.

Seemingly sensing Si Ming's concerns, Auntie Liu said, "I am Ying Zhou's agent, so I will go to Su State with him. However, I am also worried about Hongdou. If no one takes care of her, she might paint for three days and three nights in the underground studio. So I would like to ask you to take care of her daily life temporarily while I am away."

Si Ming shook his head and said, "I have no interest in being a nanny. I can barely take care of myself, let alone others. Besides, I aspire to become a Grandmaster, and every second is precious to me. You should find someone else..."

"Two hundred a day."

"Okay, leave it to me! Whether it's laundry, cooking, cleaning, or massage, I'll make sure she gives me a perfect score." Si Ming patted his chest confidently and assured her.

"I'm relieved to hear that. Hmm, what's that in your hand?" Auntie Liu noticed the manuscript in Si Ming's hand.

Si Ming readily took it out and said, "This is the beginning of a novel I wrote in my spare time. I'd like to submit it to a magazine and see if I can earn some royalties."

"Um, may I take a look?"

"Certainly."

Auntie Liu took Si Ming's manuscript and spent ten minutes reading through the three thousand words. She pondered and said, "The beginning is quite average, and the writing is not outstanding. However, the background setting is very interesting. It's not that no one has thought of the theme of superpowers, but most of them are about the body growing bigger or smaller, seeing a thousand miles, hearing the wind, breathing fire, spitting water, and becoming invisible. They only scratch the surface and do not form a complete system."

Your approach, which combines scientific knowledge with concepts like Telekinesis, magnetism, and air explosions, creates a sense of realism despite being fictional. It's incredibly innovative.

As long as you maintain your quality, I can't guarantee you'll become a star, but you can at least create a buzz. I know several editors-in-chief of magazines. If you trust me, you might as well hand over your manuscript to me and I'll guarantee you the best treatment for a newcomer.

Si Ming agreed with the idea of leaving professional matters to professionals, and decisively said, "Then I'll leave it to you."

Auntie Liu adopted a businesslike expression. "It's not troublesome at all. This is a mutually beneficial deal, and I will take 10% of the final agreed-upon royalties. If you don't agree to this condition, then this matter is off."

"No problem, I have no objection."

"It's a pleasure doing business with you."

Chapter 81 Yan Jinghong's Melancholy

At the Mohist Knight Guard base, Si Ming met his master Yan Jinghong, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

After checking Si Ming's learning progress, Yan Jinghong took out a very thick book and said, "Try this mental cultivation method and see if you can learn it?"

Si Ming took the manual. There was no title on the cover, but he wasn't worried that his master would harm him, so he didn't ask any questions and began to read it carefully after opening the cover.

Cultivating Internal Cultivation is essentially about making a series of choices, because the body's meridians are neither a straight line nor a circular track. If you had to describe it, it would be like countless intersecting circles, with the arcs representing the meridians and the intersections representing acupoints.

For example, starting from the Stomach Meridian of Foot Yangming, one can enter the Yangming Meridian through the Dicang acupoint, or the Yinming Meridian through the Quepen acupoint, or the Yangwei Meridian through the Fengchi acupoint. Which path to choose depends on the specific cultivation Cultivation Method.

Why is it said that even a poor student can't cultivate Internal Cultivation? Because to Internal Cultivation, one must first recognize the distribution of meridians and acupoints in the human body, and secondly, remember which way to go each time one encounters an acupoint.

Even the most basic Mo Sect Internal Cultivation have eighteen multiple-choice questions. Many people can't even remember a math formula, so asking them to memorize the answers to eighteen multiple-choice questions without making a single mistake is no easy task.

Admittedly, even top students may not be able to memorize the entire distribution of meridians and acupoints in the human body. After all, the amount of information is too large and complex. Often, they refer to the distribution of meridians and acupoints in the human body, memorize the routes, and then practice according to the Cultivation Method they want to cultivate.

It's like someone looking at a map to get to their destination. They don't need to memorize the whole map; they just need to remember which way to turn at which intersection.

The same applies to a struggling student cultivating Internal Cultivation. The master infuses the student with True Qi, guiding it through a full cycle. Then, the master tells the student to remember this path and follow it in Internal Cultivation.

Of course, the result of teaching in this way is that underachieving students will always know what to do but not why, and when faced with a different Cultivation Method, they won't know where to start.

The basic Internal Cultivation are all multiple-choice questions; you just need to memorize a series of answers in order. However, this approach is not suitable for advanced Internal Cultivation, because advanced Internal Cultivation are multiple-choice questions.

For example, starting from the Stomach Meridian of Foot Yangming, the Qi splits into two True Qi. One stream enters the Yang Meridian through the Dicang acupoint, and the other enters the Yin Meridian through the Quepen acupoint. The two streams of True Qi advance side by side, constantly making choices, and finally return to the same acupoint in the same amount of time, completing a cycle.
