[You completed one session of Qi Cultivation. Qi Cultivation Experience +1, General Experience +1. Current level: LV1 (1/100)]
Once Chakra entered the Qi Sea, it was no longer Chakra, but Qi—the exclusive energy of cultivators!
Once he fused Natural Chakra in the future, it would evolve into Mana!
"Hm?" Hyuga Ningyuan continued reading and discovered that this time, there were not one but two prompts!
[You have constructed the theoretical framework of a cultivation system from nothing and carried out its preliminary practice. This is an unprecedented achievement, equal in virtue to the Six Paths and surpassing the Three Immortals!]
Ningyuan's face heated up. That was a bit much.
[You have obtained the Talent trait: Path Creator!] [Path Creator: Activate manually to enter a Brain Overclocking state, greatly increasing mental activity!]
"Huh? This Talent is NZT-48!" Ningyuan was stunned. When he saw the Talent option on the System Panel, he knew there had to be a way to obtain Talents. He just had not expected it to happen so quickly!
What did Brain Overclocking mean? Though he had never experienced it himself, he had watched enough films and shows to understand it somewhat.
Brain Overclocking had at least the following functions:
1: Inspiration Burst. After Eddie, who had no inspiration for writing novels, overclocked his brain, he immediately became a writing-speed master, his pen moving as though blessed by the gods.
2: Knowledge Integration. Eddie's girlfriend, who had never trained before, could overclock her brain, integrate martial arts scenes from all sorts of films and television shows she had watched, and then use them herself.
3: Hyper-Speed Learning. Eddie, with his brain overclocked, merely listened to passersby chatting and looked at some Chinese advertisements, yet learned an entirely new language.
4: Enhanced Comprehension. A novelist could not only switch careers to become a stockbroker, a profession requiring extremely advanced mathematics, but could also research biotechnology.
5: Enhanced Five Senses. Because the brain processed information faster, the detail of information received through the five senses was also enhanced, creating an effect similar to Observation Haki.
6: Bodily Control. With the brain overclocked, the degree of control it had over the body could be greatly increased. Even without understanding martial arts, one could maximize the strength of the body's cells and muscles.
But then again, this was obviously an active skill. It even needed to be manually activated, so why had it been classified as a Talent?
"Should I try activating it?" Ningyuan felt the urge to give it a try, and that urge grew stronger and stronger until he could no longer suppress it.
After all, he really was curious about what Brain Overclocking actually felt like!
"Activate!" Ningyuan gritted his teeth and directly tapped the panel with his consciousness!
The next instant, Ningyuan felt the entire world fall silent!
"Has time stopped?" Ningyuan froze, then immediately realized that time had not stopped. His thought speed had simply been accelerated to the limit!
All kinds of light, colors, smells, and sounds surged into his brain in an instant.
He felt endless inspiration erupting in his mind. All sorts of knowledge he had learned in his previous life, read in books, or seen in short videos converged within his mind. With a single thought, they could bloom into countless flowers!
The world before his eyes abruptly turned black and white, and boundless vision flooded into his mind all at once!
Under Brain Overclocking, his Byakugan had activated passively!
"E = MC²!"
"How did the British build subways over four hundred years ago?"
"Hoover Dam."
"When two small balls converged, they produced an upward normal shock wave!"
"Let him be fierce, let him be vicious; with one mouthful of Qi, I remain full!"
"American five-star general MacArthur commented, give him a BGM and he could dance out a Cullinan!"
Too much, far too much. There were too many fragments of information, so many that Ningyuan could not focus his thoughts at all!
"Focus, focus! Think about what I came here to do. Comprehend something useful!" Ningyuan gritted his teeth and struggled to gather his mind.
How embarrassing!
"What should I research?" Feeling his brain race with the speed of light, Ningyuan decided on a research direction in an instant.
Dance!
It would be best if it combined Taijutsu, footwork, finger techniques, and a cultivation method, while also being graceful and visually appealing.
The goal was to drift like a startled swan and move like a soaring dragon, stunning all who saw it!
It was not that he did not want to research a Cultivation Method, but the environment was unsuitable. If cultivating caused some strange phenomenon, he would have no way to explain it.
The Hyuga Clan's Chakra was also a technique worth researching, but his current Chakra strength was insufficient. Even if he developed it, he would not be able to practice it, so there was no point.
Dance, on the other hand, was something he wanted to put to use as soon as possible. It involved his basic attributes; the sooner he learned it, the sooner he would grow stronger.
So, was there such a Cultivation Method?
The Ancient Tomb Sect's techniques were quite suitable. Not only did they look good in combat, they also resembled dance.
But in an instant, Hyuga Ningyuan thought of an even better substitute: Phoenix Dance of the Nine Heavens!
The martial art Lu Xiaofeng had learned combined a Cultivation Method, footwork, and finger techniques. And the world of Gu Long was such a murky place, filled with people who loved using poison.
Lu Xiaofeng was so reckless, yet he had not been poisoned to death. There was a good chance this Cultivation Method could also detoxify and beautify the skin.
Otherwise, why would it be called Phoenix?
Then the Cultivation Method's name would be Phoenix Dance of the Nine Heavens!
"All information related to dance, footwork, and finger techniques!" In an instant, the aimlessly surging information in his mind began to take on direction.
Peacock Dance, Peacock Step, Swan Dance, Swan Step, Finger Dance, Gesture Dance, Ghost Step, Street Dance...
All kinds of dance videos and movements surged through his mind, then were gathered and integrated by Hyuga Ningyuan in his Brain Overclocking state.
Finally, they were aligned with the concept of the phoenix!
In the end, a peerless divine art called Phoenix Dance of the Nine Heavens—ostensibly a dance, but truly a Cultivation Method—was created!
Although the internal cultivation portion was still incomplete due to a lack of data on the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, and the external martial arts portion was also merely theoretical deduction, this was by no means pure theory. Every part had a basis in method and reason.
After all, Hyuga Ningyuan came from a modern world and possessed a profound understanding of the human body and physics.
This Cultivation Method combined the vast database of his previous life, Hyuga Ningyuan's personal understanding of Chakra, and the support of modern scientific concepts. Though it was only in its infancy, Hyuga Ningyuan had already surpassed the Hyuga Clan's thousand years of accumulation in just a few moments!
Eight Trigrams Palms? Rotation?
Not even dogs would learn that!
"Bleurgh!" Hyuga Ningyuan suddenly retched, and his entire body was instantly overcome by dizziness as his stomach began cramping.
Then—
Bang!
His head dropped heavily. Fortunately, the teacher was a ninja with extremely fast reaction speed, and he immediately used the Body Flicker Technique to catch him.
"Hyuga Ningyuan? Hyuga Ningyuan?" Yūhi Kurenai looked somewhat panicked. "Teacher, what happened to him?"
"He's fine!" Teruhi Sōun smiled. "He just awakened his eyes and overexerted himself. A little rest will do."
From the podium, he had seen Hyuga Ningyuan suddenly awaken his eyes before collapsing onto his desk. Was the cause-and-effect relationship not obvious?
There was no need to call anyone from the Hyuga Clan over. The Ninja Academy had taught Hyuga Clan children before. Awakening one's eyes was not some major event.
"I see!" Yūhi Kurenai nodded, breathing a sigh of relief. Though she and Hyuga Ningyuan had only just met, children made friends quickly. Besides, Hyuga Ningyuan was rather cute.
"Sleeping is allowed?" Obito had not heard what the teacher said. He only saw Hyuga Ningyuan lying on his desk asleep! He had not expected the teacher to ignore it.
Then I'll sleep too!
Bang! The moment he lay down, a piece of chalk struck him on the head.
"Ah, Teacher, why did you hit me?" Obito protested.
"You're sleeping during class. Why do you think I hit you?" Teruhi Sōun replied irritably.
"But Hyuga Ningyuan is sleeping too!" Obito pointed at Hyuga Ningyuan behind him.
"He awakened his eyes. Can you compare yourself to him?" Teruhi Sōun said impatiently. "If you awaken your eyes, you can sleep too!"
"I-I-I'll awaken them for you right now!!" Obito glared furiously at Teruhi Sōun, then widened his eyes for a long while, yet nothing changed.
Teruhi Sōun said irritably, "What are you staring at? Keep staring and you can go stand outside!"
"Then never mind." Obito scratched his head. Being punished to stand outside during the first class did not seem very good.
"Teacher, can I go run laps?" Might Guy's eyes lit up. Classes were super boring!
"Sit down!" Teruhi Sōun was speechless. What kind of students were these?
"Two idiots," Kakashi muttered mockingly.
"What did you say?" Obito turned around furiously.
"Obito!" Teruhi Sōun slammed the desk angrily. "Sit properly and listen to the lesson!"
Obito looked aggrieved. I feel like I'm being singled out!
Why did Hyuga Ningyuan have a beautiful girl as his desk mate, while my desk mate is a white-haired bastard?
Why could Hyuga Ningyuan sleep in class, while I only got hit for wanting to sleep?
He turned his head angrily and glanced at Hyuga Ningyuan, who was still asleep, only to see Hyuga Ningyuan shift to the side and lean directly against Yūhi Kurenai.
"You bastard!" Obito slapped the desk. "Teacher, look at him!"
"Obito, go stand outside!"
"Teacher!"
"Outside!"
Obito bit his lip. So this was the Ninja Academy? It was far too dark!
"Hmph!" Teruhi Sōun watched Obito's retreating back and snorted irritably.
Tell me, in all of Konoha, who did not hate the Uchiha? I'm not deliberately looking for trouble, but who told you to fall into my hands?
Still—
He glanced at Hyuga Ningyuan leaning against Yūhi Kurenai. This kid really was lucky. I still didn't even have a girlfriend!
