After passing the inspection, Wang Qi found a quiet place and sat down to meditate—more or less folding up that lower body, whose joints twisted in every conceivable unnatural direction, then forming hand seals that human fingers could never make, circulating his cultivation through the heavenly cycle.
When Iron Constable had driven needles into his body and used mechanical waves to examine him, Wang Qi's cultivation method had changed in response, beginning to reverse-engineer the other party's technique.
So far, he had seen all kinds of cultivation methods. Some cultivated light, some heat, some magnetism, and even more cultivated electricity.
He also knew many methods of using sound waves to inflict harm. Things like Lion's Roar and Heavenly Drum Thunder Sound were all classic offensive techniques founded upon "mechanical waves."
But a cultivation method built entirely upon mechanical waves was truly... his first time seeing one.
This was not about using "sound waves" to cleanse one's sinews and marrow, or using music to temper one's disposition and steady one's mind.
It was a method that genuinely took "waves" as the foundation of the entire body's cultivation.
All spiritual power combined with forms of mechanical waves, flowing back and forth in cycles.
It was difficult to imagine. Unlike matter waves, which could fail to display wave-like properties under macroscopic conditions, or light waves, whose particle-like nature was obvious and which could be restrained with relative ease.
The propagation of mechanical waves was also the process of their dissipation. That dissipation was faster than that of light waves traveling through a suitable medium.
And sound waves were harder to restrain as well.
Though theoretically speaking, it was possible to devise a cultivation method that restrained sound waves. For humans, however, such a method truly brought more harm than benefit.
Thus, humanity had
