Seeing Is Not Necessarily Believing (3)

"Self-harm?" Ye Qingcang chuckled and patted Zhu Zhuqing's pale face. "Ignorant people always use their self-righteous eyes to observe the world... Living things are in a state of self-harm at all times, because flesh and blood are such fragile things."

Ye Qingcang slowly raised his palm.

Her bones were clearly defined, and she was tall, slender, and fair-skinned.

There are no flaws whatsoever.

Even the shape of her nails is perfectly formed.

But!

"Is it pretty?"

Ye Qingcang's smile had a touch of wicked humor.

The moment Zhu Zhuqing rolled her eyes.

The five fingers emitted a crisp cracking sound!

The stark white bones, piercing through flesh and blood, their visibly twisted appearance caused Zhu Zhuqing's pupils to contract instantly. The warm blood dripping onto her face made her tremble all over, her instinctive reaction to Goddess of Life filling her with fear!

However, this is just the appetizer!

The bones were visibly crushed, but Ye Qingcang remained unmoved. Meanwhile, the newly formed flesh and bones were filling the gaps inch by inch, kneading the white jade-like bone powder and the viscous, jelly-like blood together, transforming into a fragrant rose of flesh and blood, exquisitely beautiful. Whether as a work of art or as a good medicine, it was undoubtedly qualified!

"Want some?"

Ye Qingcang held the Flesh Rose.

He teasingly brushed the flower petals across Zhu Zhuqing's red lips.

Seeing the desperately suppressed longing in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, Dai Mubai's words broke down Zhu Zhuqing psychological defenses. "Dai Mubai has excellent judgment. He understands the value of Stellar Martial Arts. Even if his understanding isn't comprehensive, his choice is undoubtedly correct... You Soul Master blindly worship power, but you don't know the essence of power. Instead, you ridiculously use power to pursue power, ignoring the truth that power is merely a byproduct; that's right, power is just a byproduct of Goddess of Life's evolutionary process!"

Zhu Zhuqing subconsciously licked the rose.

It seemed as if his entire body was cheering.

She had a strange feeling before.

When she was being stuffed into a puff pastry from top to bottom, the sensation of her whole body heating up, as if she had taken a hot bath, without feeling nauseous and even vaguely feeling full, with her flesh and blood cheering, her Soul Power surging restlessly in her body, and even her cardiopulmonary function being extremely enhanced, if it wasn't a hallucination caused by a sense of humiliation, it could only mean that Ye Qingcang's flesh and blood did indeed have extraordinary effects. Including the piece of flesh she bit off in a moment of madness after learning the truth from Dai Mubai, it wasn't that she didn't want to spit it out, but that it was forced down by Ye Qingcang's regenerated flesh and blood, and she was forced to swallow it.

That feeling was like swallowing a sun!

His entire body was instantly filled with boundless power!

"It seems you want to eat it." Ye Qingcang bluntly saw through Zhu Zhuqing's instinctive desire, but he didn't reject it. "When I was very young, I pondered a question: Does 'extraordinary' simply refer to beings with great power?"

"Could it be... cough cough..." Zhu Zhuqing turned her head away with difficulty, not wanting to look at the rose, controlling her crazy urge to eat it, wiping the white foam from the corner of her mouth. "Isn't that right... Soul Master... ugh... is someone who possesses great power... and only by mastering great power can one control one's own Destiny... just like you can bully me..."

"You're right." Ye Qingcang, his face calm as still water, but his words struck Zhu Zhuqing's worldview like thunderbolts. "But this is only extraordinary in a narrow sense; extraordinary, literally, means surpassing ordinary people, surpassing the mundane, but do you understand the definition of the ordinary?"

Zhu Zhuqing subconsciously thought about it for a moment.

I didn't understand what Ye Qingcang meant.

Ordinary is just ordinary.

What is there that cannot be understood?

"People are different..." Ye Qingcang didn't show surprise at Zhu Zhuqing's confusion. The path to transcendence was an evolutionary route filled with philosophical knowledge; the more one studied this route, the clearer and lonelier one became. "The ordinariness you see refers to all ordinary people who lack the qualifications to embark on the path of Soul Master Soul Master. But what you don't know is that these people without the qualifications also possess unique, undiscovered talents. Some can have photographic memories, some can apply what they've learned to other situations, some are quick-witted and have excellent memories, while others are fast, strong, eat a lot, or have foul-smelling stools. The definition of ordinariness lies within the organism itself. When an organism considers itself ordinary, then even if it becomes invincible, it is still ordinary, because the world it sees is vast. It believes it is not a perfect being, so it can set aside its arrogance and learn from those less powerful creatures to compensate for its own shortcomings!"

Ye Qingcang snapped his fingers crisply.

Countless biological projections flashed before his eyes.

Finally, it landed on the ant.

Yes, just an ordinary ant.

It's not a Soul Beast.

Did you know that ants can lift more than four hundred times their own weight?

What is their body structure like?

Can humans imitate this?

"Can humans control their own bodies, control their own muscles, learn the body structure of ants, and adjust and change accordingly?"

Another crisp snap of the fingers.

A strange insect replaced the ant image.

The data is clearly listed above.

"Water bears, a type of insect with little lethality, can withstand temperatures as high as 151 degrees Celsius and survive in temperatures as low as -272 degrees Celsius. They also have a strong ability to survive in environments with vacuum, high radiation, and high pressure. Why is that?"

"Can we extract the essence and discard the dross?"

"To give humans the same resilient physique as tardigrades at birth?"

Another crisp snap of the fingers.

A familiar cat caught Zhu Zhuqing's eye.

It's not Soul Beast.

It's just an ordinary cat.

"A cat's reaction time is around 60 milliseconds, or 0.06 seconds. The limit of human reaction speed is two to three times that of cats. In other words, even the fastest human is like a slow-motion movie in their eyes. Not to mention those humans who have not undergone professional training, whose reaction speed can be up to five times that of cats, and some slow-reacting people can even reach ten times that of cats."

"If humans could have this kind of reaction speed."

"How much does it increase the chances of winning in battle?"

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing speechless, Ye Qingcang snapped his fingers, deactivating the light and shadow screen he had created. He spoke slowly and deliberately, like Demon's whisper, "Therefore, being ordinary or not is relative, while being extraordinary or not is relative extraordinary built upon relative ordinariness. When you are arrogant because you possess great power, it precisely shows that you are immersed in the illusion of extraordinary. Therefore, extraordinary is always just how others perceive you. Only by recognizing your own ordinariness can you have the motivation to constantly pursue perfection... And this process, this pursuit of perfection, is essentially an evolutionary process of Goddess of Life striving for perfection!"

"Flesh and blood..." Ye Qingcang pointed a finger at Zhu Zhuqing's brow, allowing her to enter a microscopic perspective. "It is composed of a wide variety of cells. After these cells die, they turn into ashes similar to soil. What determines the value of a cell is the nutrition within it. No matter what kind of meat, fruit, or vegetables humans eat, the principle is simply a way of obtaining nutrition. So, there's no need to feel disgusted. If I don't want to, even if you grind all your teeth to pieces, you still won't break my skin. In the end, it's because I don't mind..."

"You don't mind?" Zhu Zhuqing sneered. Although she knew Ye Qingcang was telling the truth, it still made her feel uncomfortable. "Then why can't you control your desires?"

"Because I never intended to control my desires." Ye Qingcang wasn't a monk; only monks practice self-discipline. Humans naturally have seven emotions and six desires, and suppressing one's nature goes against human nature. "I'm a normal man. I don't need to restrain my desires for you, this 'royal special' little kitten. You can also understand it as: you're not qualified for me to restrain my desires, not qualified for me to care about your feelings, or even just a Shi Xing thing for me to do..."
