Our Chat Group is Online with Real Names

[Shi Tianwu uploaded Ultimate Boundless Qigong]

The first resource had appeared in the Chat Group.

There were only two people in the group currently: Shi Tianwu and Lu Bian. One was the group leader, the other the administrator, and they had already become "confidants."

What would happen if the consciousness of a Martial God like Shi Tianwu resided within one's body?

Your memories and thoughts would be impossible to hide from such a Martial God; he would know everything about you.

Memories you couldn't recall, he could dig up in your mind; knowledge you had forgotten since school, he could help you retrieve.

Lu Bian's brief twenty-something years of life were seen through by Shi Tianwu in only a short moment.

Having gained a sufficiently deep understanding of Lu Bian, Shi Tianwu decided to upload Ultimate Boundless Qigong to the Chat Group's shared resources, making it convenient for Lu Bian to consolidate and review the Ultimate Boundless Qigong at any time.

A night passed, and Lu Bian sat on the stone steps to rest.

Having practiced his punches all night, Lu Bian's entire body was exhausted, yet his spirit was highly stimulated, so this rest was not entirely a state of repose.

Shi Tianwu controlled Lu Bian's body, utilizing a special breathing technique to enhance the body's absorption and digestion of the special energies from the outside world.

Breathing method...

Shi Tianwu had temporarily created a specialized breathing technique for Lu Bian, naming it the Lu Bian Breathing Method.

"Brother Tianwu, aren't you being a bit too good to me?"

"I'm starting to think you have ulterior motives."

Lu Bian teased Shi Tianwu.

"Because we are friends."

"And I, Shi Tianwu, do not wish to lose a friend like you, Lu Bian."

Shi Tianwu explained to Lu Bian.

"A heart of passion must not be extinguished; show compassion to the weak, help one another, and no matter where people are from, they can become friends..."

"Forgive me, I saw these words in your memories by accident," Shi Tianwu said.

"Ah, yes. Do not abandon this sentiment, even if it has been betrayed a thousand times over." Lu Bian finished the second half of the sentence.

Even though he was only a few years away from thirty, Lu Bian still couldn't help but tear up whenever he thought of or saw these words appear.

When he was eight years old, he said goodbye to Ultraman Ace. "Brother Hokuto" had told him these words on the television, and Lu Bian had kept them firmly in his heart, never forgetting them.

Upon seeing this in Lu Bian's memories, Shi Tianwu was similarly moved.

If someone in his own world could have spoken such words, and possessed such insights and actions, then perhaps everything would have turned out differently.

A Martial God is always high above.

Because he possesses power.

"..."

Why think so much?

Now is not the time for this.

"Shi Tianwu" stood up and looked out toward the mountains.

"Shall I take you away from this place?" Shi Tianwu said.

"Staying here is not the right idea. While I still have half a day left to remain within your body, let us go to where people live."

"I'm really troubling you, Brother Tianwu." Lu Bian felt very embarrassed.

"Do not think of doing anything to compensate me; anything you give me is useless to me."

Shi Tianwu sensed the thought Lu Bian had just sprouted and cut him off.

"Alright."

"Brother Tianwu, favors are the hardest to repay. I owe you one," Lu Bian expressed.

"Heh!" Shi Tianwu chuckled.

As for favors, he didn't need those either, not now.

Having allowed the body to get sufficient rest, "Shi Tianwu" stood up and headed toward the higher ground.

He needed to see the general environment of the surrounding mountains and forests from a high vantage point to analyze a suitable path out of the mountains.

Thus, "Shi Tianwu" turned and walked up the stone steps, entering the mountain gate.

"Eh? Tianwu, are you heading up the mountain? Is this right?"

"Are you afraid? It's daytime now; there won't be any ghosts coming out," Shi Tianwu said.

"It's not ghosts I'm afraid of," Lu Bian replied.

As they walked up the mountain, everything they saw in their shared field of vision consisted of broken walls and ruined pillars.

A great fire had once occurred here, burning all the temples and pavilions to the ground.

Walking until there was no longer a path maintained by anyone, Shi Tianwu and Lu Bian realized they were only halfway up the mountain.

Still, the mountainside was high enough to see much further into the distance.

"I see it, I see the road."

"Mm."

"Though it looks like no one ever travels this way."

"Then let's head down the mountain."

[Beep...]

[Bruce Wayne has joined the Chat Group]

"A newcomer at this hour?"

"The Chat Group's efficiency in recruiting new members seems a bit slow," Lu Bian remarked.

"Why is it him?!"

"Is our Chat Group strictly for real-name registration?"

Lu Bian: [Welcome... Master Wayne.]

Shi Tianwu: [Welcome, Mr. Bruce Wayne.]

Sharing a brain with Lu Bian had its perks; Shi Tianwu immediately understood exactly who the new arrival was from Lu Bian's thoughts.

The group leader and the administrator's welcome messages went unanswered by Master Wayne.

"Brother Tianwu, look, you can tap on an avatar in the Chat Group to see personal identity information, though the individual can choose to hide it."

"Mm, I see."

Shi Tianwu immediately set his own identity information to hidden.

The personal information displayed when tapping an avatar was minimal—just birthdate, age, gender, zodiac sign, and the like—hardly of any real value.

However, for the newly joined Master Bruce Wayne, Lu Bian and Shi Tianwu were able to glean quite a bit.

First was the member's avatar; the Chat Group not only required real-name registration but also used a photo identical to the person's official ID as their profile picture.

"This birthdate, there's no mistake, right?"

"Born in 1951?"

"No wonder the avatar is an old man."

"So it really is Master Wayne," Lu Bian sighed.

The new member Bruce Wayne's avatar was an old man with a full head of gray hair and two remarkably spirited eyebrows; his first impression was that of an eccentric old man.

Bruce Wayne: [Requesting to start a video chat]

[Beep, request accepted...]

The seventy-year-old Bruce Wayne peered with a scrutinizing gaze at the frail young man in the video chat window.

"Why aren't you wearing any clothes?" old Bruce Wayne asked Lu Bian.

"Because I have no clothes to wear," Shi Tianwu replied.

Lu Bian's body was currently under Shi Tianwu's control.

"Is this the scenery of another world? Are you from another world?"

"Yes, Mr. Wayne."

"How pitiful. Can I send you some clothes?" old Bruce asked.

"The Chat Group does not have a function to transport items."

"What a pity."

"I don't quite understand these newfangled things lately."

Old Bruce scratched his hair.

Master Wayne, are you really not just pretending to be confused?

Lu Bian silently grumbled in his mind.
