A light dew was rising in the morning, and a thin mist hung like gauze.
Ling Yi, who had been meditating cross- Meditation in the courtyard all night, slowly opened his eyes.
The next moment, a burst of suffocating air spewed from Ling Yi's mouth, his breath like a sword, shooting straight three meters away.
"This Internal Energy doesn't seem to be entirely microbial electricity!" Ling Yi said slowly.
Lulu, who was standing next to her, frowned and asked, "Why do you say that?"
"It also contains other energies—no, not mixed in, but rather engulfed. It's a difficult feeling to describe, but it's definitely not just microbial electricity."
"But one thing is certain: as the microbial electricity increases, this energy also increases. This is quite interesting, and it saves time on cultivation."
Ling Yi removed a fist-sized, round, thin piece from his lower abdomen; this was MEP, or Microbial Electricity Charger.
This stuff is already recorded in Lulu's database; by altering the structure of matter, you can have as much as you want.
MEP, which charges microbial electricity, combined with internal energy cultivation techniques, can rapidly enhance one's abilities in a short period of time.
MEP ( Internal Energy Boosting) combines technology and martial arts techniques!
"Where is Internal Energy stored?" Lucy asked again.
"I don't know, it must be related to that special energy, it's like..."
After thinking for a long time, Ling Yi finally uttered three words: " Dark Energy."
After saying that, Ling Yi was stunned. How could the term "Dark Energy " have come out of his mouth?
Then he shook his head. "I was just talking nonsense, it probably has nothing to do with Dark Energy. Strange, why did I mention Dark Energy?"
But Lulu seemed lost in thought, her eyes flashing with blue light, clearly trying to deduce something.
" Ling Yi, have you ever considered that this might actually be related to Dark Energy?"
What is Dark Energy? Dark Energy refers to all the invisible, intangible, and undetectable energy in the universe, whose existence can only be proven through circumstantial evidence.
Scientists estimate that 68% of the universe is composed of Dark Energy.
Dark Energy permeates almost every corner of the universe and is the main reason for the universe's accelerated expansion.
Ling Yi naturally knew what Dark Energy was, and he instinctively wanted to refute it, but for some reason, the more he pondered it, the more he felt that this unknown energy was extremely similar to Dark Energy.
"Could it be that cultivating Internal Energy is actually cultivating Dark Energy?"
"It's either Dark Energy or an energy system unique to this world. After all, each world has different settings and rules, so it's normal for them to have independent energy structures."
"It's like in your world, CPH4 originally couldn't be synthesized artificially, but with an atomic structure analyzer, you can artificially create CPH4, and then use CPH4 to modify Body Integration."
" The Internal Energy of this world may also be a special kind of existence."
"Whether it's true or not, we'll know once we perform the regression analysis."
Lulu shook her head at this point.
"Unfortunately, our understanding of Dark Energy and dark matter is very superficial. If we had the opportunity to enter the world of the movie 'Dark Matter,' perhaps we could learn what dark matter is."
"There's a movie like this?" Ling Yi asked curiously. He had never even heard of it.
"Yeah, it's a pretty obscure movie, but that's not important. What's important is the theory about dark matter in it. Anyway, I'll focus on positive knowledge from now on."
Ling Yi shrugged. "Time travel is random; who knows when we'll be transported to this world?"
As Ling Yi spoke, he stood up abruptly, clenched his fist, and punched the thin mist with all his might.
A gust of wind from a punch shattered the fog in front of them, accompanied by a sonic boom.
"It's truly amazing. In just one night, my physical strength increased nearly fivefold. After a few days of adjustment, I can move on to the next breakthrough."
Yes, Ling Yi was referring to a breakthrough, not cultivation.
With MEP, Ling Yi doesn't need to cultivate at all; he can recharge overnight and adapt in 72 hours.
This adaptation process is also a process in which the body gradually strengthens under the influence of Internal Energy.
The human body is like a battery; when someone cultivates, they need to gradually fill that battery.
This process takes some people three to five years, while for others it takes eight to ten years.
Ling Yi, on the other hand, can fully charge its battery overnight thanks to its MEP (Mechanical Equipment for Battery Life).
As the body adapts and strengthens, the capacity of the "battery" increases, which is what is known as expansion.
Or, to put it another way, the breakthrough process is the expansion process.
"In a month, we'll go and collect a batch of martial arts manuals."
Ling Yi currently possesses Internal Energy but lacks martial arts skills. It should be noted that while this world may not have special effects martial arts, it does have Qinggong.
In movies, actors can be suspended by Pressure, but cesium in the movie world doesn't have Pressure.
Where to collect martial arts manuals? Of course, at the imperial palace.
As for why a month later, it's because after a month, Ling Yi can leave this world at any time.
Also, a month later, the story should have ended, Bodhi's Remains would be sent to Cloud River Temple.
"Do you know which dynasty the Reign of Assassins World is set in?" Ling Yi asked Lulu.
"The fifteenth year of the Great Ming, the 31st year of Zhu Yuanzhang's reign."
"Hmm, how did you figure that out?"
"According to official historical records, Zhang Haiduan, the Great Ming Dynasty, died in this year."
In fact, Ling Yi could have had Lulu personally go to the palace and Copy all the martial arts manuals inside.
But since Ling Yi didn't mention it, Lulu naturally understood that Ling Yi wanted to take action personally.
With Ling Yi out of the picture, Lulu was happy to have some free time and began to study things she liked.
Having regained her emotional system, Lulu appears noticeably more lively Spiritual Animation, no longer like a cold machine.
Although Ling Yi didn't participate in the plot, he kept Lulu following it closely.
From the Ye Zhanqing and the others headed to the capital, Ling Yi knew that the plot was actually nearing its end.
At this point, Zhang Asheng had already married Zeng Jing.
They enjoyed a few happy and sweet days.
However, the appearance of Dark Stone assassins such as Ye Zhanqing Lei Bin shattered their happy and peaceful days.
Half a month later, Zeng Jing's identity was completely exposed. Lei Bin and Ye Zhanqing chased after Zeng Jing. Zhang Asheng exposed his identity and killed Lei Bin. Ye Zhanqing was seriously injured and escaped back to Wheel King to Healing.
A month later, Zhang Asheng used the Bodhi's Remains as bait to Yaoyue Wheel King to a life-or-death battle.
However, the one who ultimately fought the Wheel King to the death was Zeng Jing, formerly known as Drizzle.
As for Zhang Asheng, Zeng Jing used a drug to fake his death. On one hand, she didn't want Zhang Asheng to fight the Wheel King, lest he die.
On the other hand, it was also to allow Zhang Asheng to fake his death and Escape the Dark Stone organization's pursuit, so that he could start a new life.
Zeng Jing came to fight Wheel King with the mindset of certain death.
Zeng Jing felt guilty towards Zhang Asheng, after all, Zhang Asheng's father was killed by Zeng Jing.
Even the sword that stabbed Zhang Renfeng, also known as Zhang Asheng, was struck by Zeng Jing.
Fortunately, Zhang Renfeng's heart was different from that of ordinary people, which is why he survived by sheer luck.
Later, he changed his identity and adopted the alias Zhang Asheng.
Interestingly, the same person performed cosmetic surgery on both Zhang Renfeng and Drizzle.
The two, who had undergone a complete makeover, unexpectedly fell in love and became husband and wife.
Because Ling Yi didn't get involved in the plot, everything unfolded exactly as the original storyline suggested.
On the last day of the month, the system's cooldown period ended, and the final battle between Drizzle and Wheel King took place this afternoon.
"Boom!"
A thunderclap boomed in the air.
The sky was overcast with dark clouds, and a downpour seemed imminent.
Zeng Jing and Wheel King each held a sword, standing opposite each other, their eyes filled with murderous intent.
At Zeng Jing's feet lay Zhang Asheng, who had already lost his Aura.
This was a plan Zeng Jing had prepared long ago: feeding him a drug to fake his death, and even stabbing Zhang Asheng with a sword in front of Wheel King.
Everything was done so that Zhang Asheng could survive.
Not far from them, Ling Yi and Lulu stood side by side on a blue stone, watching the show.
" This Zhang Asheng is really pitiful. He was stabbed as soon as he appeared in the story, and then he was stabbed again at the end of the story. Moreover, both times he was stabbed by the same person," Ling Yi said, taking a bite of his apple.
"But both of these swords are life-saving swords," Lulu said.
"That's true." Ling Yi nodded.
At this point, Zeng Jing had already begun her confrontation with Wheel King.
The two exchanged sword blows, their moves characterized by unpredictability and danger, each one teetering on the edge of life and death.
The Dingdang of swords rang out continuously, crisp yet cold.
" The Wheel King's Internal Energy has reached level seven, while Zeng Jing's Internal Energy is only level five." Lulu's eyes flashed with blue light, and she quickly analyzed the cultivation levels of the two.
This classification is based on the energy levels of microbial electricity, as determined by Lulu.
There is a huge gap in strength between each level.
At level one of Internal Energy, one's physical strength is about five times that of an ordinary person. With each level increase in Internal Energy, physical strength increases by about 20%.
Level 2 Internal Energy has a strength of 6, Level 5 Internal Energy has a strength of 10, and Level 7 Internal Energy has a physical strength of around 12.
Don't underestimate the difference of just 2 points; those 2 points can make a world of difference.
Although Zeng Jing seems to be fighting the Wheel King to a standstill, Zeng Jing will inevitably be defeated within thirty moves.
But Zeng Jing had come prepared.
She knew she couldn't afford to fight a prolonged battle with Wheel King, so after testing the waters a few times, she immediately unleashed her killing move.
The killing moves consist of four forms, twelve sword strikes in total.
These are: concealing one's clumsiness within skill, using obscurity to reveal clarity, embodying purity within turbidity, and yielding to achieve one's goal.
These four styles and twelve sword techniques were taught to Zeng Jing by the eminent monk Lu Zhu on his deathbed. It was Lu Zhu's death that made Zeng Jing have the idea of retiring from the Jianghu, transforming her from Drizzle into Zeng Jing.
These four styles and twelve sword techniques are precisely Zeng Jing's external cheat codes.
Each move inflicted two or three wounds on Wheel King. By the time the four moves and twelve sword techniques were used up, Wheel King had been slashed 11 times by Zeng Jing.
Although he launched a desperate counterattack and struck Zeng Jing with a sword, it was not fatal.
Meanwhile, Wheel King, with an expression of utter disbelief, collapsed to the ground, utterly defeated.
After watching the entire Combat, Ling Yi couldn't help but curl his lip.
"Based on the names of these moves, who the hell could possibly know how to use them? I seriously suspect that the director just made these moves up out of thin air."
