The monkey takes a master, cheats give confidence, and the Breathing Technique breaks through!
The Team-Up Card silently disappeared into the Houzi's body.
The Houzi, who was dozing under the tree, seemed to Perception something, opened its eyes and looked around, only then noticing Ling Yi and Meng Yanyi in the distance.
I was so focused on eating the Taozi that I didn't even notice there were other people around.
He flipped over and jumped up, running over excitedly.
"Squeak, chatter!" The Houzi came up to Ling Yi and the other person, put its hands together and bowed.
But he spoke in a monkey-like language.
"This Houzi can't speak human language, so it can't be the Handsome Monkey King, right?"
Meng Yanyi looked at the Houzi in front of her, which was less than 1.5 meters tall, covered in golden fur, and had Spiritual Animation eyes, but she couldn't connect it with the Handsome Monkey King at all.
"It's perfectly reasonable that Son Goku had never seen a human before leaving Flower-Fruit Mountain and couldn't speak human language." Ling Yi wasn't surprised.
However, Meng Yanyi was highly suspicious of the Houzi's identity.
This Houzi, although its golden fur is beautiful, is covered in dust and grime, and most importantly, it's incredibly short.
This is completely different from the Handsome Monkey King in her mind.
Ling Yi tapped Houzi Houzi on the forehead before asking, "Where did you come from, Houzi, and where are you going?"
"Immortal, immortal, um?" the Houzi spoke again, but this time it was no longer monkey talk; it had switched to Mandarin.
"Excellent technique, excellent technique! You truly are a sage, truly a sage, haha!"
Upon discovering that it could speak, the Houzi was so excited that it danced around and did several somersaults, looking overjoyed.
After a short while, once the Houzi had calmed down, it approached Ling Yi again, bowed politely, and said, "I come from the Water Curtain Cave of Flower-Fruit Mountain, begging the immortals to teach me the ability to achieve Longevity."
The way he spoke, the tone of his voice, made him sound even less like Son Goku.
Speaks standard Mandarin, without a trace of dialect.
It's important to know that, whether in the original novel or in film and television adaptations, Son Goku never says "I" but rather "I am".
"Old Sun, am this and that; take a beating from Old Sun!" and so on.
Not only Son Goku, Zhu Bajie, Sha Seng, but also often refer to themselves as "I," "my the Final Master," or "my Eldest Senior Brother."
The Houzi's standard Mandarin is very unlike Houzi's.
Of course, this is related to the language memories that Ling Yi transmitted to him, since Ling Yi transmitted a language system to the Houzi, which is Mandarin.
If Ling Yi transmitted a dialect to the Houzi, then the Houzi is speaking that dialect now.
Ling Yi didn't speak. While transmitting language memories to the Houzi, Ling Yi had already taken the opportunity to read the Houzi's memories.
This Houzi indeed came from Flower-Fruit Mountain and the Water Curtain Cave. Without a doubt, this is the future the Monkey King: Quest for the Sutra.
But Ling Yi is now hesitant about whether or not to intercept the opportunity to become a disciple of Cave of the Slanting Moon and Three Stars and accept this Karma.
Bah! From the moment Ling Yi used the Team-Up Card on Son Goku, the Karma and effect were already inescapable.
Ling Yi glanced at the mountain of various function cards piled up in his storage ring, and instantly felt more confident.
So he said to the Houzi, "I already know your past and future. You little monkey, if I teach you my skills, you will surely cause great trouble in the future."
The Houzi scratched his head. He'd only just left Flower-Fruit Mountain; how had he become a troublemaker?
He wanted to refute it, but he was afraid of displeasing the gods and causing them to refuse to pass on his skills, so he could only scratch his head and not know what to do.
"If you wish to learn the art of Longevity, it's not impossible, but there must be three rules."
"Please speak, immortal! As long as I can learn the skill, I'll recognize not just three chapters, but thirty!"
"First, if it's a matter of course, one must not do evil, nor bully the weak. Is it possible to do that?"
"I can do it, I can do it." The Houzi nodded quickly, agreeing first before considering whether it could actually do it.
"Second, you must not reveal my existence; third, you must not pass on the skills I have taught you to others."
The Houzi nodded repeatedly, without even giving much thought to the deeper meaning of these three rules, or rather, the Houzi didn't care about these so-called three rules at all.
These days, Houzi only have one thought: since they've finally encountered a powerful deity, they'll learn his great abilities first.
"It would be best if you could remember it." Ling Yi could tell that this Houzi seemed somewhat Taiyi from the Son Goku he knew.
They are mostly cunning and treacherous, with little kindness or evil.
That's more in line with the Son Goku in the original story.
Ling Yi then played two more cards on the Houzi: a Contract Card and a Pet Card.
Regardless of which version of Journey to the West it is, or what kind of side story it is, since Ling Yi has intervened, he hopes that this Houzi will change in the direction he envisions.
Ling Yi wanted him to become the Handsome Monkey King, not a Great Demon.
"My name is Ling Yi. Kneel down and become my disciple!"
" The Final Master, I kowtow to you."
The Houzi didn't waste any time; it knelt down and kowtowed three times to Ling Yi.
After the Houzi stood up again, Ling Yi continued, "From now on, you will be called Son Goku."
" Son Goku?" The Houzi's eyes lit up, then he exclaimed happily, "Thank you, the Final Master, for bestowing this name upon me! Haha, I have a name now, Son Goku!"
Then, looking at Ling Yi with anticipation, he asked, " The Final Master, when will you teach me your skills?"
Ling Yi took a step forward, raised his right hand, and a ball of colorful light bloomed in his palm. He then flipped his hand and placed it on Son Goku's head.
Ling Yi was incredibly generous, unlocking seventy-two Gene Lock for Son Goku Son Goku and passing on his Matrix knowledge, Breathing Technique, Fighting Skill, Force Field Skills, and more.
Feeling the increased knowledge in his mind and the surge of power in his body, Son Goku shuddered and instinctively Meditation.
While receiving the memories in his mind, he practiced Breathing Technique.
This is a level 12 Breathing Technique, an optimized Breathing Technique that incorporates Spiritual Power cultivation methods.
It can be said that Son Goku didn't need to grind experience points himself; he directly inherited the level 12 Breathing Technique.
As Son Goku cultivated, in an instant, the Spiritual Power between heaven and earth surged into Son Goku body like swallows returning to their nests.
It seems that Son Goku isn't going to stop anytime soon.
Ling Yi then flew away with Meng Yanyi to a distant place.
"Why did you take Son Goku as your disciple?" Meng Yanyi, puzzled by Ling Yi's actions.
"We've come to the film and television world to cause trouble. This world is most likely the Journey to the West World, and this Houzi is the Protagonist in Journey to the West."
"But wouldn't this offend the Heavenly Court and Spirit Mountain? There are Sage in this world."
"Don't worry, we're practically cheating." Ling Yi didn't offer any further explanation, just smiled confidently.
Meng Yanyi was only worried about Ling Yi; she had no other thoughts. Since Ling Yi was so confident, he must have a way to deal with it.
So what do we do now?
"Cultivate, and then wait for Kami to come to your door."
As he spoke, Ling Yi casually pointed in the air, and the Power of Creation surged forth. The next moment, a modern villa appeared out of thin air at the edge of the peach grove.
"You're getting more and more amazing," Meng Yanyi exclaimed in admiration.
She could do it too, but not as easily as Ling Yi.
The two entered the villa.
Inside the villa, all the modern amenities were readily available. Meng Yanyi jumped onto the sofa and immediately sprawled out in a lazy pose.
Ling Yi sat down Meng Yanyi: "I reckon we might be living here for a long time."
Meng Yanyi shrugged indifferently. "It doesn't matter, it's the same everywhere anyway."
He paused, then added, "I wonder how Gao Qisheng and the others are doing now."
"Don't worry, they're all cheating, after all."
Gao Qisheng and his team are all quite strong now. As long as they play it safe, they should be fine.
Besides, even if something goes wrong, it doesn't matter, because the rules have changed. Even if someone dies in the film and television world, it's just a temporary elimination.
As long as Ling Yi and his group are still around, their ranking in the Ancient Country Qiusheng team will always be number one.
The Film and Television World Survival are based on a last-place elimination system, which is relatively more flexible.
Ling Yi didn't believe that ordinary Qiusheng teams from other countries, without any cheating abilities, could be more powerful than them.
Even if Ling Yi and his group did nothing, in this dangerous world, even Qiusheng teams from other countries probably wouldn't last until the end.
"I need to go into seclusion for a while," Ling Yi Meng Yanyi.
"Seclusion?" Meng Yanyi pouted. That would be so Bored!
"Hmm, I need to organize what I've learned over this period and, while I'm at it, figure out how to end this world as soon as possible."
Meng Yanyi leaned closer to Ling Yi and said in a sweet voice, "Before going into seclusion, shouldn't we do something first?"
Looking at the stunningly beautiful face so close to his, Ling Yi immediately understood Meng Yanyi's meaning...
Late at night, Ling Yi sat cross-legged on the roof of the villa and began practicing Breathing Technique.
Ling Yi went into seclusion because he sensed that his three-dimensional attributes were about to break through.
Ling Yi sensed in his mind that this breakthrough would be a huge boost for him.
[Ding! Diligence Points +1, Breathing Technique experience points +8000!]
[Ding! Diligence Points +1, Breathing Technique experience points +12000!]
[Ding! Diligence Points +1, Breathing Technique Experience +9000, Upgrade requirements met, Skill Level +1!]
[Ding! Stamina +1, Strength +1, Agility +1!]
Boom! A terrifying Aura was suddenly released. If it weren't for the Formation that had been set up in the room, this power would have overturned everything around it.
After a long while, the terrifying Aura slowly dissipated.
Ling Yi opened the system interface.
As expected, his three-dimensional attributes had broken through to 1000 points. Ling Yi could clearly feel that after reaching 1000 points, he had undergone a sublimation from the inside out, both in his soul and body.
The difference between 999 points and 1000 points may seem small, but it's a world of difference.
Without using any abilities, the current Ling Yi could easily defeat a hundred of his previous selves.
After reaching 1000 points, Ling Yi's Perception of heaven and earth became increasingly clear, and his control over power reached its peak.
At this moment, Ling Yi was already able to Yinyin touch some of the Power of Rules of heaven and earth.
The Changes reflected in the system interface are that the Rule Skills jumped directly to level 20, and the Formation Dao skills jumped even more from level 9 to level 25.
Other skill levels were also raised to level 20 or higher.
