The two left the core area of Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and walked through the canyon area where the concentration of colorful poisonous miasma was slightly weaker. Lin Ciyan was not in a hurry.
While he was distracted, he maintained Holy Radiance Qilin Martial Soul and Auspicious Domain to disperse the poisonous gas around him.
While focusing most of my attention on Sea of Consciousness, I worked with the system to conduct an in-depth "analysis" of the newly acquired <Mysterious Heaven Skill Record>.
Zhang Lexuan followed closely beside him. Seeing that his eyes were slightly wandering, and the corners of his mouth raised a strange arc from time to time, you knew that he was thinking about something.
She did not rush, but spread her perception to the surroundings, alerting to possible dangers, and at the same time curiously paying attention to the status of Lin Ciyan.
"Tsk..." Lin Ciyan suddenly smacked his lips, shook his head, and started his "inner complaining live broadcast" in a voice that only two people could hear.
"Sister Grandmaster, what do you think of this <Mysterious Heaven Skill>, which is known as Tang Sect's supreme internal power?"
He spoke as if chatting, his tone full of "I hate iron but cannot become steel".
"This Purple Demon Eye, visualize the Eastern Purple Qi to temper your mental power... The idea is good, but the efficiency is too impressive, right?"
"Do you still have to stick to the specific time of sunrise and absorb the thin pure purple energy of the rising sun?"
"This is not pure formalism!"
Zhang Lexuan was slightly startled. He didn't expect that when he opened his mouth, he was commenting on such secret techniques, and from this perspective.
"My 'Heart of Dawn' skull skill can slowly nourish your mental power no matter how long it is in the sun, as long as it is light-effect energy, no matter morning, noon or evening."
"Although it is not as powerful as the explosive power of the specialized spiritual skills, it is better than it is sustained, gentle, and has no side effects."
"This Purple Demon Eye... It's difficult to get started, the progress is slow, and it's easy to train your mental power to be paranoid and sharp, lacking mellowness. Wow, it's rough, too rough."
Lin Ciyan said as he raised his hand casually, a golden light flashed on his fingertips.
He instantly condensed into a complex and delicate polyhedral structure composed of pure light elements, suspended on his fingertips and slowly rotating, showing his terrifying control over energy like an arm.
"Look, if the mental power is strong enough and the control is fine enough, energy shaping can only be done with hands? Why do you have to stare at that mouth of 'purple energy'?"
Zhang Lexuan looked at the exquisite polyhedron of light elements at his fingertips, which constantly refracted the surrounding colorful poisonous miasma light, and thought of Purple Demon Eye's "microscopic" observation effect that required years of hard work to achieve.
She was speechless for a moment.
It seems... it does make sense?
"And this Mysterious Jade Hand," Lin Ciyan continued to complain, and the light ball at his fingertips dissipated.
"Pour Soul Power into your hands, Simulation has the properties of jade, enhances hardness and strength, and comes with detoxification and poison avoidance... The functions are quite complete, but the principle is too crude."
"It's just a hard stack of energy that changes the regional physical and energy properties. Not only does it consume a lot of energy, it also puts a heavy load on the meridians."
He stretched out his right hand, his fingers slightly spread, and the Five Elements brilliance flashed across his palm.
"My 'Five Elements Rotation·Material Reconstruction' can only be used on inanimate objects at present, but the principle is to directly interfere with the underlying structure of matter to transform or strengthen its attributes."
"What is consumed is the understanding of the rules and more sophisticated Soul Power guidance, not brute force."
"Whenever I can use it on others or myself, the effect will be..."
He shook his head and did not continue, but the meaning was obvious - potential is not at the same level.
"Let's talk about this Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track," Lin Ciyan kept walking, his figure naturally shuttled between the jagged rocks and twisted poisonous plants. It seemed random, but he could always avoid obstacles and move smoothly when there was no chance.
"Focus on tricky footwork and a ghost-like figure to confuse your opponents. Sounds cool, right?"
He suddenly stopped and looked back at Zhang Lexuan with a "Listen to me and analyze it in detail" expression on his face. "But in the face of real extreme speed, does the fancy footwork make sense?"
"For example, if there is an agility attack type Soul Master who is good at absolute speed, Soul Skill will charge in a straight line and break the sound barrier at a speed. No matter how weird your footwork is, he will arrive in an instant. How will you hide?"
"This move is more like a 'performance skill' prepared for opponents of the same level or slightly stronger. In most cases, it is not very useful and cannot cope with the absolutely complex battlefield environment. In this situation, what is needed more is a powerful 'survival skill' rather than a performance."
"As soon as my 'Light Domain·Holy Radiance Sky Curtain' is turned on, the concentration of light elements within the range and my perception are stretched to the extreme, and any subtle movements are invisible. Combined with the simplest straight-line sprint or short-distance teleportation, it is much less labor-intensive than going around."
Zhang Lexuan recalled his seemingly simple yet extremely precise and efficient way of moving during his previous battles."
"I can often appear in the most appropriate place at the most appropriate time, and there really aren't many redundant actions.
She couldn't help but nodded slightly.
"The last Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon..." Lin Ciyan sighed, with a helpless expression, "Remotely control Soul Power, Simulation's capture, traction, and repulsion effects."
"The idea is good, but look at its energy execution route, which is winding and winding, with too many transformation nodes. Soul Power is emitted from the body and acts on the target, at least 30% is lost in the middle!"
"With this Soul Power, wouldn't it be nice if I just hit it with 'Dawn Break Fist' or 'Radiant Impact'?"
"You have to play teleportation... Unless it's a specific situation, the cost-effectiveness is too low."
He concluded. "In general, the several unique skills of this <Mysterious Heaven Skill>, taken individually, are good pioneering ideas at a specific level, but when viewed in the broader Soul Master system, the shortcomings are obvious."
"Either it is inefficient, or it consumes a lot of money, or it has narrow applicability. The most important thing is..."
Lin Ciyan's eyes became a little deep. "They seem to be deliberately limited to a fixed framework, just to show a certain kind of 'skills' instead of pursuing the 'optimal solution' of energy use."
"It's like... the upper limit and path have been artificially set. Practitioners can only follow this drawn path, and it is difficult to jump out and form their own unique understanding and development."
This is in sharp contrast to the "Relaxation Cultivation" and "Five Elements Rotation" paths he pursues that are closer to the essence, more flexible, and more focused on personal understanding and adaptation.
Zhang Lexuan was shocked after hearing what he said.
She has never looked at a long-established martial art from such a "deconstructive" and "critical" perspective.
But if you think about it carefully, what Lin Ciyan said is not entirely unreasonable, especially when combined with the various incredible abilities he has displayed.
This <Mysterious Heaven Skill> does seem a bit..."clumsy" and "limited".
"What about your self-created 'Relaxation Circulation' Breathing Method?" Zhang Lexuan couldn't help but ask, with a hint of curiosity and comparison.
"How does it compare?"
