He claimed he wanted to see whether a character who had cultivated the Great Compassion Sending Death Heart Method would still suffer from surging desires and a cultivation deviation debuff if he practiced the Bixie Sword Manual while carrying a chicken.
Then, a miracle happened.
The Bixie Sword Manual's side effects did not appear on that character at all. At the same time, the Bodhi Heart Sutra also gained an increase to the damage of yang-attributed internal energy.
One experiment turned two neglected martial arts manuals into wildly popular choices, and that genius gamer streamer was briefly known as the Chicken-Carrying Bixie Sword Saint.
Influenced by that streamer, a huge number of players began pursuing the Chicken-Carrying Bixie Sword path.
Unfortunately, the officials discovered this bug very quickly.
Since it was a flaw in the game's own settings, the officials did not alter the connection between the two martial arts manuals. Instead, they gave them a historical backstory riddled with loopholes.
Then, they greatly increased the difficulty of obtaining the Bodhi Heart Sutra and the Bixie Sword Manual. In particular, for players who had already obtained one of the martial arts manuals, the chance of obtaining the other dropped by 99%.
Before the players had time to react, the officials used their own methods to shut down the Chicken-Carrying Bixie Sword Saint's "class change route."
But the legend of the Chicken-Carrying Bixie Sword Saint would forever live on in the game.
The appearance of the Bodhi Heart Sutra gave Dai Weisi a new possibility.
What if... Li Yang tried it?
After all, aside from himself, Li Yang was currently the only other male on the team.
Women could not practice the Bodhi Heart Sutra or the Bixie Sword Manual anyway.
At worst, he could practice the Bodhi Heart Sutra first. Even if it caused him to lose the offensive nature of his Soul Power, Li Yang was a control-type Soul Master to begin with and did not have much need for Soul Power's offensive capabilities.
As for the Bixie Sword Manual...
If he could not practice it, then he would not practice it. They could not seriously abandon their own teammate, could they?
