Improving the Cultivation Method

"Instructor, you don't understand!"

Exhausted, Lu Yunhe plopped down onto the concrete floor and raised one finger, gently wagging it. A mere mortal could never understand the world of a Cosmic Level Genius.

After recovering a little strength, Lu Yunhe raised another question. "Instructor Dong, do these weapons and equipment and Guidance Techniques cost money?"

"Money?"

Dong Nanbiao was taken aback by Lu Yunhe's words, looking somewhat confused. "Martial artists are soldiers. Have you ever heard of soldiers having to pay for their own equipment?"

"Although martial artists have only just begun to develop, we're not so poor that we can't even scrape together equipment."

"I got it wrong. Sorry, Instructor!"

Lu Yunhe had subconsciously thought of the future, only to remember that things were completely different now. The entire society was under control.

There were no Martial Halls or economic alliance organizations competing to recruit people. Anyone registered as a martial artist was essentially joining the martial artist army under Dong Nanbiao's command.

Registered martial artists in this era had to be under military control unless they reached the level of War God, at which point they might gain a certain degree of autonomy.

Of course, those beyond the level of War God possessed strength enough to stand on equal footing with a nation's government. That was another matter altogether.

"That'll be all for today. I still have matters to handle. If you have any questions, come find me anytime."

Dong Nanbiao waved Lu Yunhe off as he got to his feet. It was already no easy feat for him to spare this much time amid his busy schedule. As a War God, he was extremely busy.

"Received!"

Lu Yunhe saluted Dong Nanbiao, then took his weapons and equipment to the front desk to collect the videos and printed materials for the Guidance Technique and martial arts techniques.

Once home, Lu Yunhe eagerly began reading through the cultivation method materials from this era.

The materials in his hands came in three parts. One was a Guidance Technique called "Nirvana," used by martial artists to cultivate Gene Energy.

Then there were two martial arts manuals. One was a fist technique with two levels. The first level could unleash one and a half times one's strength, while the second could unleash twice one's strength.

This fist technique and Guidance Technique had both been compiled by people gathered by the government, then shared with every martial artist.

The second martial arts technique was Dong Nanbiao's self-created Three Axe Strikes. Once mastered, it could unleash 1.8 times one's strength. It contained a great number of weapon techniques, and Dong Nanbiao had given it to Lu Yunhe as well.

"I remember that Thor's Nine Heavens Thunder Blade in the future could unleash seven times one's strength. The martial arts techniques of this era really are far inferior."

Lu Yunhe pondered quietly, but this was enough for him. So long as he had even a little foundation, he could continue deducing it through his Ultraman Avatar.

Thus, over the next few days, Lu Yunhe immersed himself completely in martial arts training, gradually making up for his lack of fundamentals.

The Ultraman Avatar also displayed the aptitude of a Pinnacle Cosmic Race. In less than half a day, it had learned both the Guidance Technique and martial arts techniques.

And since the Ultraman Avatar had learned them, that naturally meant Lu Yunhe's main body had learned them too. With a single punch, he could easily unleash twice his strength, and his punching power had reached the level of an Advanced Warrior.

It was only because the human body's foundation was relatively poor that he needed more practice to become proficient.

Yet the ordinary Guidance Technique and martial arts techniques displayed astonishing effects when used by the Ultraman Avatar.

After all, compared to a human body, the Ultraman Avatar could absorb Cosmic Primal Energy without restraint and unleash its physical strength without reservation. It did not need to worry about the body's limitations at all.

"I feel like I could take on a War God now."

After two days of cultivation, the Ultraman Avatar broke through to the Intermediate Warrior level without encountering any bottlenecks, catching up with the main body's cultivation progress.

After briefly training its martial arts techniques to avoid having strength without knowing how to use it, the Ultraman Avatar began simplifying its Guidance Technique and strength-generation methods, making them better suited to Lu Yunhe's human main body.

A week passed, and the Ultraman Avatar had broken through to the Advanced Warrior level, completely surpassing the main body's cultivation. It could even break through to Beginner War General in just a few more days.

This cultivation speed made Lu Yunhe incredibly envious. When would cultivation ever be measured in days? This wasn't the world next door in Shenji's novels.

Over the past week, let alone breaking through a realm, merely getting his body to adapt to the strength-generation techniques transmitted by the avatar had consumed nearly all his time.

"Is this the legendary trouble of happiness?"

Lu Yunhe clenched his right fist, feeling the strength-generation technique tailored to the human body.

Over the past week, the Ultraman Avatar had created an entirely new Guidance Technique based on the human main body and its own state of absorbing Cosmic Primal Energy—the Light Energy Breathing Method. It was only twice as strong as the government-created Nirvana Guidance Technique.

However, when Lu Yunhe used it himself, because the Ultraman Avatar was inside his body, its effects would double once more on top of that.

With the Light Energy Breathing Method and the Ultraman Avatar's permanent buff, Lu Yunhe's main body cultivation would rise to another level.

"Unfortunately, it's still too slow. Once the avatar develops a little more, I can go look for the opportunities on Earth."

Lu Yunhe contemplated the things on Earth that could help raise his main body's strength.

Aside from the Guidance Technique, Lu Yunhe's primary training during this period remained focused on the strength-generation technique the Ultraman Avatar had created for him.

Lu Yunhe named the technique "Light Darkness Unity." By releasing an overt force while striking with a Hidden Strength, he could unleash twice his power. At present, he could achieve Fourfold Strength.

And Lu Yunhe had spent most of his time on strength-generation techniques. After all, knowing something in one's mind and knowing it with one's body were two different things. Although cultivators could minimize the gap between the two, it still required time.

"With a base strength of three thousand kilograms and Fourfold Strength, I can unleash twelve thousand kilograms of force. That has completely reached the Beginner War General level, and I'm not weak even among Beginner War Generals."

Lu Yunhe's eyes gleamed. Is this the benefit of having a cheat? He remembered that when Luo Feng had first broken through to the Planetary Level, his body's strength output had only been a little over three times.

If the Ultraman Avatar comprehended the light domain, or even the Light Law, he would likewise gain it naturally.

"An avatar really is one of Swallowed Star's greatest bugs. It's practically a small cheat."

Lu Yunhe could not help but praise it. Using cheats felt great for a moment; using cheats forever felt great forever.

The only pity was that Lu Yunhe could already clearly feel the limitations of his weapon.

The alloy sword in his hand was only barely sufficient for his current strength. When the Ultraman Avatar trained, it did not even dare use its full strength and had to carefully protect the weapon.

And once Lu Yunhe's strength increased again, the weapon in his hand would become a complete burden.

"Blue Gold?"

Lu Yunhe considered it. The Ultraman Avatar did not need to worry about it, since its body was the best weapon. But his main body still needed to get a better weapon.

"I'll ask Brother Dong!"
