Shave!

Jiang He had no idea what had happened at the academy.

After returning home, he rested briefly and ate something to replenish his energy.

Then Jiang He thoughtfully reviewed the system logs.

After a night of deductions, many new entries had appeared in the system logs.

Regarding the cultivation of the Six Styles, based on the information and ideas Jiang He had provided, the system had deduced the method most likely to allow him to cultivate the Six Styles.

In the information Jiang He had provided, the Six Styles were primarily secret techniques of the human body, driven by physical strength that surpassed human limits.

But if Jiang He's physical strength could already surpass human limits, he would not really need those things...

So the system made some optimizations.

Instead of relying on absolute physical strength, it became a combination of Soul Power and physical strength.

As for Shave, which Jiang He cared about most, after the system's improved deductions, its principle became the instantaneous eruption, compression, and rebound of Soul Power beneath the feet, producing explosive propulsion.

The system had even thoughtfully included several Soul Power circulation routes for the legs.

However, the system had highlighted them in red, stating that these were only preliminary deductions without any practical verification. These Soul Power circulation routes might not fully achieve the intended results, and there was a certain risk of failure that could injure him, so he needed to experiment cautiously.

Furthermore, because these Soul Power circulation routes involved a large number of secondary meridians, even if they worked, he would need diligent practice to achieve the expected results.

Besides Shave, the system had also improved the cultivation methods and principles of the other Marine Six Styles.

It even included Life Return!

Iron Body: Compress Soul Power to the utmost limit, circulate it through special meridian pathways, and solidify it beneath the skin and muscles to form an invisible suit of Soul Power armor.

Moonwalk: Further improve the meridian circulation routes based on the principles of Shave, achieving continuous explosive bursts that create recoil force and allow one to walk through the air.

Tempest Kick: Highly compress Soul Power within the legs, then use special meridian circulation routes and ultra-high-speed kicks to turn it into sharp Soul Power blades that fly outward to attack.

Finger Pistol: Open the meridians at the fingertips, gather a massive amount of Soul Power at a single point through special meridian circulation routes, and unleash an attack with immense penetrating power.

Paper Drawing: Attach Spiritual Power to the body's surface while spreading it into the surrounding area, sensing the flow of air and the opponent's "intent" (killing intent and Soul Power fluctuations), allowing the body to evade like willow fluff drifting in the wind. (Note: Requires an extremely powerful supply of Spiritual Power and abundant combat experience. There are no other tricks.)

Other than Shave, the system had made corresponding plans for Iron Body, Moonwalk, Tempest Kick, and Finger Pistol.

Only Paper Drawing was described very vaguely by the system.

Because according to the system's calculations, this thing was almost impossible to achieve.

The system even bluntly stated that even in the worldview of One Piece, this was practically a cheat ability, a manifestation of "Spiritual Power."

Moreover, Spiritual Power already existed in the Douluo world, and battles between Soul Masters differed from those in One Piece, so completely replicating Paper Drawing was nearly impossible.

Unless more extensive information could be added later.

But the system itself could already perform the function of Paper Drawing. Analysis and deduction were the system's specialty, so cultivating it would simply be a waste of time.

Jiang He did not care about the system's dismissal of Paper Drawing. Instead, he looked toward the longest system log.

This log recorded the system's deductions regarding the skill Life Return!

Life Return: Complete control over one's own body, Soul Power, and spirit!

Core principle: Through meditation and extreme introspection, permeate every cell with Spiritual Power and Soul Power, completely combining spirit, Soul Power, and flesh into a single whole, thereby freely controlling every minute change in the body.

Supplement: Cultivation Meridian Diagram (Initial Version 1), Cultivation Meridian Diagram (Initial Version 2)... (Initial Version 351)

Note: Cultivating this technique requires the support of an enormous amount of Soul Power and Spiritual Power. At the same time, one's physical strength will very likely need to reach the limits of humanity, or even break through them.

Unlike the cultivation of the Six Styles before it.

The system's cultivation deductions for Life Return took up an enormous amount of space.

It had provided 351 versions of cultivation meridian diagrams alone!

Every version involved every large and small meridian throughout the entire body!

Yet the Soul Power circulation route was completely different each time.

Just looking at those densely packed meridian route diagrams made Jiang He's scalp tingle.

"Damn, is this thing really that absurd?"

He grumbled inwardly, but in an instant, Jiang He no longer found it absurd at all.

Because according to the system's description, if he truly succeeded in cultivating Life Return, it would be equivalent to gaining complete control over his entire body.

He would be able to fully control every cell in his body.

In battle, he could use external energy to restore himself to peak condition in an extremely short time.

Regenerating severed limbs would be an utterly ordinary matter to him.

Not only that, once he mastered this move, even without becoming a god, Jiang He could achieve a different kind of immortality through absolute control over his body's cells, combined with extraordinary power like Soul Power!

Looking at the effects listed by the system, Jiang He's heart burned with excitement.

If he truly cultivated this thing successfully, it would definitely be the number one secret technique in Douluo!

But Jiang He still forced himself to calm down and stop thinking about Life Return.

Although his Soul Power and Spiritual Power far exceeded those of his peers, they were absolutely nowhere near abundant enough.

Not to mention the requirement for physical fitness.

Surpass human limits!

How the hell was that possible!

Only after quite a while did Jiang He calm himself and look once more at Shave's cultivation method.

Following the meridian circulation diagram deduced by the system, Jiang He controlled a thread of Soul Power and cautiously guided it toward the meridians in his legs.

More than ten minutes later...

"Fuck! Cramp, cramp! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!!!"

Jiang He clutched his right leg and rolled around on the ground.

During his first attempt, the Soul Power circulation had not gone smoothly, causing it to disperse and become chaotic. Several secondary meridians tugged against each other, and the scattered Soul Power made his leg cramp violently, leaving him drenched in cold sweat from the pain.

It took nearly fifteen minutes for Jiang He to recover.

Though it was somewhat difficult, he still sighed and continued trying.

After all, this was how he had gotten through cultivating the Tyrant Emperor World-Devouring Art back then.

The system was not omnipotent. It also needed experimental data as proof.

Jiang He could not use others as lab rats, so he could only do it himself.

And so, again and again, over and over.

Jiang He kept trying from the afternoon until deep into the night.

He had no idea how many times the meridians in his legs had tangled up.

If he had not consumed an Immortal Herb, opening all the meridians throughout his body and strengthening them to a certain extent, then with the way he was doing this, his legs would have been crippled.

Bang!

However, at midnight, an explosion rang out in Jiang He's small courtyard...
