Gun Technique - World Ending

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

With the corpse of a King level monster as its calling card, both veteran researchers and researchers who had come to intern performed exceptionally well.

After all, the corpse of a King level monster was not something ordinary research institutions could come into contact with.

Lin Qingyu disliked all sorts of tedious 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, Lin Qingyu was a Councillor level expert, and his time was naturally precious. Handling miscellaneous affairs would be a complete 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 the people from the other organizations and institutions had all left, Lin Qingyu gathered everyone in the institute.

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

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

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

Of course, those experts who had seen Lin Qingyu's test in the military district had no major objections.

"I know some of you may think I am too young and perhaps unqualified for the position of director," Lin Qingyu continued. "However, I do not need you to acknowledge me academically. But I am more than qualified to serve as the director of this institute. As for why, the fact that I am 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 itself the finest possible specimen. Of course, they only dared entertain the thought in their hearts. Researching the mysteries of a Councillor level expert's body would naturally never be permitted.

"I can guarantee that this institute will maintain a standing supply of advanced Lord level monster materials and provide materials from at least one King level monster for research every year." Lin Qingyu's next words immediately 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, complicated applications were required before approval could be obtained. As for maintaining a standing supply? There were fewer than twenty laboratories in the entire world capable of guaranteeing a standing supply of advanced Lord level monster materials. The condition of one King level monster each year was even more outrageous. Only the Limitless Martial Arts School and the Lightning Martial Arts School were qualified to make such a claim.

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

"Of course, since I can give you so many resources, my requirements for you will naturally not be low." Lin Qingyu said, "Our fundamental goal is to explore the essence of Origin Force and Mental Force. However, to create an environment where we can conduct research with peace of mind, we first need to eliminate the threat of monsters. Developing methods capable of killing King level monsters is our goal for the near future. As for short-term work, we 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 do not even need to be listed as a coauthor. If necessary, I can personally hunt down or even capture alive the monsters your research requires. I have only one demand: produce 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 need to share paper authorship—an employer who sought neither fame nor profit and cared only for results was simply a godsend!

No, this was far more than a godsend. It was practically the ladder itself that would help them ascend to the pinnacle of academia!

After laying out his conditions and requirements, Lin Qingyu did not remain at the institute any longer.

Research was different from cultivation. Much of the time, he did not need to participate in every stage of the 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," Lin Qingyu said.

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 these mere King level monsters on Earth worth?

Let alone aiding his Law Comprehension, if this institute's results could raise his Domain by even one level, it would be immensely 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 Spear Technique "World Ending."

After buying it, he returned to his training 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 someone with stronger physical abilities was a form of control—control over one's body.

Using a weapon to kill a monster whose body was several times stronger than one's own was a form of control—control over one's weapon.

Using an ambush to kill a monster that completely surpassed oneself 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 secret manual World Ending continued the way of thinking he had possessed as an assassin.

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

In World Ending, Hong also shared his own experience.

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

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

Weapons were "external objects" to the body, but human strength—and even Origin Force—could be poured into weapons. Thus, after prolonged use, weapons would also be brought under a powerful person's control. Through weapons, one could expand the range of one's control.

Origin Force, on the other hand, 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 propulsion.

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

"Hong and I truly obtained our Domains in different ways." Lin Qingyu pondered silently.

In a sense, he had begun with willpower, using his powerful will to forcibly coordinate Mental Force and Origin Force to generate a Domain.

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

Of course, although Hong had provided a path and method leading to the Domain in the secret manual World Ending, he had not directly mentioned the realm of Domain. However, Lin Qingyu believed that his deductions regarding the World Ending Secret Manual were probably correct.
