Gun Technique - World Ending

After returning to Kyoto Base City with Jia Yi, Lin Qingyu attended the institute's founding ceremony.

With the King level monster corpse as its draw, both veteran researchers and research personnel who had come to intern performed exceptionally well.

After all, a King level monster corpse was not something ordinary research institutions could access.

Lin Qingyu disliked all sorts of cumbersome formalities, so he left the other organizations that had come to celebrate the institute's founding to the Deputy Director.

This Deputy Director had been assigned to him by Jia Yi specifically to handle all kinds of trivial matters.

After all, as a Councillor level expert, Lin Qingyu's time was naturally precious. Handling miscellaneous affairs would be a pure waste of energy.

Of course, as the director and person in charge, he still needed to say a few words on the day the institute was founded.

Thus, after the ceremony ended and everyone from the other organizations and institutions had left, Lin Qingyu gathered everyone in the institute.

"Hello, everyone. I'm Lin Qingyu, the director of this institute." Seated at the head of the conference room, Lin Qingyu spoke directly.

After hearing Lin Qingyu's words, some of the newly arrived experts looked hesitant. Lin Qingyu was simply too young.

The grandsons of some of the older experts were probably older than Lin Qingyu himself.

Naturally, the experts who had seen Lin Qingyu's tests in the military district had no major objections.

"I know some of you may think I'm too young, and perhaps unqualified for the position of director," Lin Qingyu continued. "However, I don't need you to acknowledge me academically. But I am more than qualified to be the director of this institute. As for why, the fact that I'm a Councillor level expert is enough."

Lin Qingyu's words greatly shocked those who did not know his background. Some of them even had their eyes gleam.

Such a young Councillor level expert was, in itself, the finest possible specimen. Of course, they only dared to think that privately. Researching the mysteries of a Councillor level expert's body would naturally never be permitted.

"I can guarantee that this institute will maintain a stockpile of advanced Lord level monster materials, and every year, it will provide the materials from at least one King level monster for research." Lin Qingyu's next words sent all the researchers into a frenzy.

Most research institutes could not obtain King level monster materials at all. Even for advanced Lord level monsters, they needed to submit complicated applications before gaining approval. As for maintaining a stockpile? There were fewer than twenty laboratories in the entire world that could guarantee a steady supply of advanced Lord level monster materials. The condition of one King level monster every year was even more outrageous. Only the Limitless Martial Arts School and the Lightning Martial Arts School were qualified to say such a thing.

Even among Councillors, not everyone could kill a King level monster.

"Of course, if I can provide you with so many resources, then my demands of you certainly won't be low," Lin Qingyu said. "Our fundamental goal is to explore the essence of both Origin Force and Mental Force. But in order to create an environment where we can investigate without worry, we first need to eliminate the monster threat. Developing a method capable of killing King level monsters is our objective for the immediate future. As for short-term work, you must at least develop methods capable of killing Beast Generals and even Lord level monsters in large numbers. Money is not a problem. Resources are not a problem. Authorship on papers is not a problem either. I don't even need to be listed as a coauthor. If necessary, I can personally hunt down or even capture alive any monsters you need for research. I demand only one thing: results! Understand?"

"Understood!"

After hearing the conditions Lin Qingyu had offered, everyone in the institute was filled with fighting spirit!

Unlimited funding and resources, no demand for paper authorship—an employer who sought neither fame nor profit and wanted only results was practically a gift from heaven!

No, this was far more than a gift from heaven. It was practically the very ladder that would help them ascend to the pinnacle of academia!

After laying out his conditions and demands, Lin Qingyu did not remain at the institute for long.

Research was different from cultivation. Much of the time, he did not need to participate in the entire research process. As long as he reviewed all the research reports and papers at the end, he could obtain enough information.

I hope this institute can provide at least some assistance to my cultivation.

He did not expect a single research institute to make his comprehension advance by leaps and bounds, but any benefit at all would make it worthwhile.

After all, how much were the mere King level monsters on Earth worth?

Let alone helping with Law Comprehension, if this institute's results could raise his Domain by even one level, it would be extremely worthwhile.

After leaving the institute, Lin Qingyu immediately went to the Limitless Martial Arts School in Kyoto Base City and used the money he had earned from selling monster materials to purchase the Gun Technique - World Ending.

After buying it, he returned to his cultivation room and began studying Hong's Spear Technique.

The core of the World Ending Secret Manual was "control."

Using techniques developed through training to defeat an opponent with physical abilities stronger than one's own was a form of control—control over the body.

Using a weapon to kill a monster whose physical abilities surpassed one's own by several times was a form of control—control over the weapon.

Killing a monster that completely surpassed oneself through ambush was also a form of control—control over the surrounding environment.

Control oneself, control one's weapon, control everything around oneself!

When one could control everything, one could naturally destroy everything.

Lin Qingyu knew that Hong had once been an assassin, and his World Ending Secret Manual continued the mindset he had possessed as an assassin.

Use everything that could be used to achieve one's purpose.

In World Ending, Hong also shared his own experience.

He believed that controlling one's own body was easiest, while controlling the environment was most difficult.

To control the environment, one could begin from two aspects: weapons and Origin Force.

Weapons were "external objects" to the body, but a person's force, and even Origin Force, could be channeled into a weapon. After using one for a long time, a weapon could also be brought under a powerful expert's control, and through it, one could expand the range of one's control.

Origin Force, meanwhile, could leave the body and interfere with the outside world.

The Origin Force of Councillor level experts was already powerful enough to generate a Force Field that counteracted gravity and created propulsive force.

By controlling Origin Force, one could interfere with the external environment. By continuously increasing Origin Force's influence over the outside world, one could eventually reach a realm where the environment itself was brought under one's control.

Hong's method of obtaining a Domain really was different from mine.

In a sense, he had started from willpower, forcibly using his powerful will to coordinate Mental Force and Origin Force to form a Domain.

Hong, on the other hand, had continuously trained his control over Origin Force. When that control reached its peak, he had obtained a Domain.

Of course, although Hong had provided a path and method leading to a Domain in the World Ending Secret Manual, he had not directly mentioned the realm of Domain. Still, Lin Qingyu believed that his deduction about the World Ending Secret Manual was more or less correct.
