A Moment of Carelessness, and I May Have Just Made a Fatal Mistake
Ignoring his foolish disciple, Feng Xue stood by the water, a look of realization dawning on his face. He threw two punches, having roughly understood the effect of this Phantom Object.
Simply put, like [Peerless Martial Art], it can be considered a martial arts mod.
The martial arts of the original world can be regarded as simple fighting techniques, and can be simply regarded as "power = physique + skill".
The existence of [Peerless Martial Art] not only turns this formula into a multiplication, but also adds an extra multiplication factor, including internal Internal Force, to this formula.
This instantly transformed martial arts into a completely different dimension from other fighting styles. If written as a formula, it would roughly be something like "Power = Physique × Skill × Internal Force ×???".
This [???] refers to new areas that can be added based on the characteristics of the technique. For example, poison techniques can add a "poison" area, demonic techniques can add a "blood and qi" area, and those with a more metaphysical approach can even add areas such as "fate" or "destiny". "Spiritual realm" is naturally included as well.
The effect of Basic Fist Technique is similar, but its benefits are not as comprehensive as those of Peerless Martial Art. It simply increases the weight of "spiritual realm," turning this extra multiplier into an exponential operation, that is --
Power = (Physical constitution × Skill × Internal Force ×???)^Mental realm.
This book can almost be considered a meme. Anyone who learns the boxing techniques in it can obtain this exponential boost. Anyone whose mental state is above the level of an ordinary person can gain an extremely terrifying bonus to their martial arts.
What's even more terrifying is that, since Feng Xue himself is the "definitive figure of martial arts" in this world, the martial arts techniques he created are naturally applicable to this world. In other words, even if one learns these martial arts techniques not through Phantom Object, but through photographs, handwritten copies, or oral instruction, one can still enjoy the same spiritual enhancement.
"I have a feeling that this thing might turn this world into a den of lunatics..." Feng Xue looked at Liu Qi, who was seriously reading the manual, and felt a little uneasy. However, it was too late to regret it now. The "martial arts" represented by this Phantom Object had already been integrated into the martial arts system of this world the moment it was created.
This is similar to a network based on network protocols. Without protocols, a network can never be built. But once the network is successfully built, whether the people who drafted the protocol are alive or dead, or whether the original protocol sample has been lost, no longer matters.
It can be said that every Yan citizen in this world is like a computer that has been fitted with the protocol, and each person is like a backup of this protocol.
"I was originally thinking of teaching this technique to the authorities, but now I think I'll just copy something more ordinary... Seriously, I can't just create Phantom Object in the Real World anymore!"
Feng Xue muttered to himself in annoyance, then sat back down on the wooden stake and started copying the book again. This time, he didn't foolishly create his own techniques, but instead copied down the six basic techniques that had been simplified to make it easier to teach Liu Qi.
The so-called basic six-piece set consists of the Basic Hard Skill, Basic Soft Skill, Basic Internal Energy, and Basic Lightness Skill that Liu Qi is currently learning, plus the Basic Fist and Foot techniques and Basic Weaponry that he hasn't had time to teach yet.
It is important to note that "hard skills" here does not refer to Horizontal Training Cultivation Method like Iron Shirt, but rather to the fundamental skills that require long-term practice.
This includes physical training, strengthening specific body parts (Iron Sand Palm striking sand, finger and claw kung fu lifting jars, even boxers hitting sandbags, and karate hitting straw mats), and various Movement and Stillness Stance Skill (the most typical dynamic stance is Baji's leaning stance, and the most typical static stance is the Horse Stance), etc.
"Soft skills," as the name suggests, refer to training the body's flexibility, such as stretching, bending over backward, and doing splits.
But after copying only a few sentences, he felt something was wrong, so he quickly picked up his phone and started using the clumsy electronic input method—unlike Smart Phone that weren't as user-friendly as they would be a few years later.
He was worried that he might accidentally copy another Phantom Object.
"Good morning!" Early in the morning, Lin Wenxue arrived at the "police station" as usual. However, after passing through the main gate and arriving at the Investigation Group's office, she noticed that there seemed to be fewer people around this morning.
"What's going on? Has some Weird Tale incident happened?" Lin Wenxue immediately became alert, took out her phone to check that she hadn't received any notifications, and then walked to the front desk to say:
"Xiao Dong, what's going on? Did I get up too early today?"
"No, didn't we say our branch would be the first to pilot the program? The first round of testing was with your Investigation Group and action team," said Xiao Dong, the receptionist, looking annoyed. Lin Wenxue immediately realized what she meant.
"[The instructor] has sent over the basic training manual?"
"Yes, it was sent to Xiao Chen's phone just as dawn broke."
Hearing Xiao Dong's answer, Lin Wenxue raised her eyebrows and said:
"I remember Xiao Chen has his final exam today, right?"
"Yeah, I think with that text message, she definitely won't be able to concentrate on the exam today!" Xiao Dong said with a mischievous grin. Lin Wenxue didn't reply, but swiped her card and walked into the house.
Compared to Xiao Dong from the logistics team, Xiao Chen from the Investigation Group clearly knew more. Don't let her seemingly simple-minded appearance fool you; she benefited greatly from that extraordinary encounter, and her learning ability far surpasses that of an average person.
"Honestly, why haven't I met a handsome and capable guy who just fell from the sky to be my boyfriend?" Lin Wenxue muttered to herself. Every few steps she took, she saw her colleagues crowding around the meeting room, and she was momentarily speechless.
"I thought you guys had all started practicing, but I didn't expect you to still be blocking this door."
"Sister Lin, what you're saying is ridiculous. Even if we're an experimental group, we still need to communicate with our superiors, right? Just because we're supposed to get paid doesn't mean you can withdraw money directly from the company account on payday, does it? And what do you mean by 'blocking the door'? We're saying we're ready to receive orders from the organization at any time."
The combat personnel at the door were waiting for firsthand information, while inside the conference room, they were waiting for the analysis report from headquarters.
As the communication port lit up again, everyone who had been drinking tea, processing documents, checking WeChat, or browsing forums perked up. And appearing on the screen was a middle-aged woman who looked slightly tired.
"The preliminary results are in. There is no difference between the soft and hard skills and normal basic training. In fact, many moves that we consider 'high-risk' have appeared in terms of weapons and hand-to-hand combat. At present, we can only conclude that this is a change produced by the enhancement of Internal Force. Considering that the action team with combat experience may encounter problems in this regard, our suggestion is to adopt a third set of control experiment plans."
"Thank you for your hard work." Old Wang nodded to indicate that he understood, then turned around and said:
"They're probably getting impatient waiting outside, so let's stick to the plan we agreed on beforehand."
The Progenitor Supernatural Tale by Role-playing Supernatural Tale role of Weird Tale person involves two parts. Those who think that they can devour the Progenitor Supernatural Tale simply by fighting it in reality overlook the fact that when Old Li tells the protagonist about digestion, after "killing," there is also a "devouring."
In short, the resurgence of the Progenitor Supernatural Tale does indeed create a Weird Tale out of thin air, and it will try to kill all imitators in reality to reclaim its power. However, simply killing the Progenitor Supernatural Tale is meaningless, because it can still revive continuously. To completely digest it, one must "devour" it, that is, actively integrate its [consciousness].
Of course, as mentioned before, there is a high probability that devouring a [consciousness] that does not belong to oneself will turn into a [Omen] due to the other party's mark. However, the Progenitor Supernatural Tale being imitated is Innate Supernatural Tale, which is relatively pure. As the imitator, the mark it possesses is similar to that of the original. Only under such circumstances is it possible to complete the devouring.
After being devoured, it becomes a battle on a spiritual level. If you win, you are digested; if you lose, you become Omen and die. The Progenitor Supernatural Tale, on the other hand, can be revived someday in the future.
Conversely, there is no risk in reclaiming authority after the Progenitor Supernatural Tale (including the Weird Tale that have been digested) is revived; all that is needed is to kill the imitator, because it is the original Main Body itself, and the part of cognition that flowed to it after the imitator died will naturally return to itself.
As for the protagonist absorbing [consciousness] through the authority of the [Martial God], it's like devouring it directly before the Progenitor Supernatural Tale have been revived.
