We made you practice martial arts, and you've mastered the Great Golden Body?

Although Luo Yun didn't understand why Shen Bailian wanted him to close his eyes, he subconsciously chose to trust the boy after hearing his request.

He closed his eyes tightly.

next moment.

As the word "Sen" rang in his ears, Luo Yun felt his body rapidly falling, his eyes as heavy as boulder, unable to move an inch.

This terrified him.

The word "Luo" suddenly continued to ring in my ears, but it was much fainter than the word "Sen," though it was still audible.

When they reached the character "万" (wan), all Luo Yun could hear was the whistling wind.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

"Swish—"

Luo Yun's tense mood was affected by some unknown force, like a crumpled piece of paper being quickly smoothed out under the influence of some magical power, all the wrinkles disappearing.

In just a few seconds.

Luo Yun felt all the mental fatigue accumulated from the previous battle disappear, and his thinking became much more flexible and less rigid.

It was as if they had drunk some kind of magic potion.

It slowly drifted into a deep sleep.

After a while.

On a vast, boundless black land, tens of thousands of ferocious beasts charged forward, surrounding a black figure wielding a standard steel knife.

"Hey!" "Hey!"

"..."

A series of cold lights flashed, and scalding hot blood spurted out. Luo Yun felt the warm touch on his 'face', opened his eyes in confusion, and looked at everything around him, only feeling that cold lights were constantly flashing.

"Roar!"

A beastly roar, like a thunderclap, suddenly rang in Luo Yun's mind, instantly waking him from his drowsy state and causing him to instinctively reach for his weapon.

But there was nothing they could do.

He was horrified to discover that he had lost control of his body.

Do not!
What's even more terrifying is that Luo Yun's senses swept across the area with incredible speed, only to discover that he was now on a battlefield fraught with danger.

All around him emanated a fierce aura, and savage beasts surged forth, their eyes gleaming with bloodlust, as if they would not rest until they tore him to pieces.

Luo Yun was shocked. What was going on?
Logically speaking, shouldn't he be listening to Shen Bailian's guidance right now? Why did he suddenly end up in this strange place?

Could it be that……

"Hold your breath and concentrate, then let your body move as you please."

Just as Luo Yun was lost in thought, a clear, ethereal voice suddenly rang in his mind, attracting most of his attention.

"So it really is... an illusion?"

"This is the true strength of our senior brother; it's truly terrifying."

Luo Yun looked around. The surrounding environment looked so real, even the roars of the beasts were so lifelike, so real, no different from reality.

He was deeply shocked, yet at the same time felt it was perfectly natural.

Luo Yun took a deep breath, adjusting his breathing and erratic heartbeat, trying to calm himself down. He began to hold his breath, concentrate, and carefully observe the uncontrollable body.

A moment later, he indeed discovered something amiss.

Although the body was surrounded by countless beasts, it remained calm and composed, moving through the onrushing horde of ferocious beasts with a light, graceful, and ever-changing gait, navigating freely among them.

Like a drifting cloud, it kept all the ferocious beasts out of reach, and even if they were touched, their power was neutralized with an extremely ingenious technique.

At the same time, the standard steel knife in the body's hand also began to wield, its tight, impenetrable blade like a gauze, causing fine wounds to spread all over the beast's body.

"Buzz—hiss!"

A dazzling flash of cold light streaked past, instantly extinguishing the life force of the terrified beast, and the light in its eyes quickly dimmed.

"Flowing Cloud Step Entangling the Blade!"

"This is the Flowing Cloud Step Entangling Blade!" Upon seeing this, Luo Yun's eyes blazed with brilliant light. He had been practicing this blade technique for over half a year and was naturally extremely familiar with it, so he couldn't help but exclaim, "Moreover, this isn't just the ordinary level of the Flowing Cloud Step Entangling Blade; it has already reached..."

"The Realm of Perfection!"

Luo Yun was completely shocked. What kind of terrifying talent was this?!

He naturally didn't think Shen Bailian was lying to him when he said he hadn't practiced the Flowing Cloud Step and Entangling Blade. The reason was simple: it had no practical significance and no value.

Therefore, Shen Bailian merely recalled the techniques of the Flowing Cloud Step Entangling Blade in his mind, and within a few seconds of comprehension, he had mastered the Flowing Cloud Step Entangling Blade to perfection.

Do not!
To be more precise, this has reached a state of perfection, a state of divine skill!

What shocked Luo Yun even more was that the way Shen Bailian taught the Flowing Cloud Step sword-entwining technique was actually the most efficient mental illusion.

This method of teaching martial arts not only requires an extremely high level of comprehension of the techniques, but also a high level of mental strength from the practitioner.

Their mental strength must reach level two or above, and the intensity of their mental strength must also meet the corresponding standards.

This is the only way to avoid a backlash from mental energy.

Of course, if it were just such a simple requirement, many martial arts teachers who are skilled in mental power could easily teach mental illusions.

But that's not the case.

Because this method of teaching martial arts is equivalent to an intimate spiritual contact between the instructor and the student, if the instructor loses his composure, it will cause a huge fluctuation in his spiritual energy.

It can cause damage to one's mental strength and even directly affect one's future potential.

This is like performing a high-risk surgery; the cost-effectiveness is extremely low, and the effort and reward are completely disproportionate.

Therefore, even the most experienced and outstanding martial arts instructors from the six major universities do not dare to easily use this method of teaching martial arts through mental illusions.

As for technological means?

The human brain is already complex enough, and the path of martial arts is an evolutionary path that leads to divinity, with each step reaching a new level.

The complexity of the mind of a martial artist at the Establishment Realm is an order of magnitude higher than that of a martial artist apprentice.

Furthermore, the higher a martial artist's level of martial arts, the more complex their mental processes become.

If we want to use a supercomputer to teach a corresponding third-tier martial skill to a martial artist in the mind's illusion, then at least five-thousandths to one-hundredth of the computing power of the Great Heavenly Body Intelligence Center would be needed.

What is this concept?
In normal times, the computing power used by the Great Xia Body Intelligence Center only accounts for 1% to 3% of the total computing power used by the entire Great Xia.

Then take into account the resources consumed and the things that were delayed.

Therefore, using computing power to analyze the brain environment is like using a golden hoe to dig the ground; it's not entirely without help, but it's certainly useless.

My major doesn't match my job!
As for why we don't increase the computing power of the Great Summer Body Intelligence Center?
The reason is even simpler: for every additional percent increase, there is an increased risk of the emergence of natural artificial intelligence.

The technology on Earth is so advanced that if another AI crisis were to occur, it might not cause much harm to the higher-ups.

But for the billions of ordinary citizens and martial arts apprentices of the Great Xia Dynasty, it was nothing short of a catastrophe.

However, the most terrifying thing is that Luo Yun wasn't the only one who received the Flowing Cloud Step Entangling Blade martial arts technique from Shen Bailian's mind domain; there were dozens of people at the same time. To be able to create such a realistic illusion is truly unparalleled!
"Hold your breath and concentrate, let your body move as you please... Hold your breath... let your body move as you please."

Thinking of this, Luo Yun no longer hesitated. He softly repeated what Shen Bailian had said before, calmed down, and focused on feeling everything about this body.

If Shen Bailian were to give up at any moment, he would miss the golden opportunity to master the Flowing Cloud Step and the Entangling Blade Technique.

Time slips away bit by bit, and in the illusion, one is oblivious to the passage of years.

Luo Yun felt that he had lost his sense of time, but he no longer cared about it at all, because as he focused his attention, he seemed to be getting familiar with this body.

His understanding of the Flowing Cloud Step and the Entangling Blade Technique improved dramatically, and after more than half a year of diligent study and practice, he finally reaped a tangible reward at this moment.

"Bang! Bang bang..."

At some point, Luo Yun heard and felt the body's vigorous power and the thunderous heartbeat. He was no longer an observer, but a participant and user of the Flowing Cloud Step Entangling Blade.

After killing thousands of ferocious beasts.

"Final blow."

After this massacre, Luo Yun's momentum only increased, and his spirit reached an unprecedented peak. He truly felt the flow of the Force, the shift in footwork, and the techniques of entanglement.

When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we advance!

"Wow!"

Luo Yun manipulated this body as if it had no bones. With a thought, he skillfully dodged the attack of several ferocious beasts. His long sword flashed, and a strike imbued with all his power erupted.

Without any fancy tricks or wasting any extra effort, it relied solely on the explosive speed and unparalleled power that came with the flow of the situation.

The third move of the Flowing Cloud Entangling Step Saber – Slashing the Flowing Clouds!

This is the connection between the first two moves of the Flowing Cloud Step and the Entangling Blade, and it is also the most lethal attack.

"Roar!"

Many of the ferocious beasts in the illusion sensed the unusual danger and instinctively tried to escape or defend themselves with their strongest parts.

However, this sword technique was incredibly fast, as fast as the aurora borealis, and even the surrounding airflow seemed to be split in two, let alone some mere second-tier ferocious beasts.

"Pfft!"

A burst of silver light suddenly erupted, and before several ferocious beasts could react, their bodies were smoothly cleaved in two, the remains separating due to inertia.

And the blade's momentum did not diminish; empowered by immense force, it continued to fly forward at high speed, cleaving every ferocious beast in its path in two without exception.

With a deafening roar, the remains of ferocious beasts, now only half-destroyed, fell to the ground. They opened their mouths helplessly, but could not utter a single roar, and their eyes quickly dimmed.

Then the warm blood gushed out.

The Flowing Cloud Step with its entangling blade technique has reached its perfect state!

boom!
With a loud bang, Luo Yun's body in the mental illusion was completely reduced to dust, then scattered and disappeared completely from the mental illusion.

Not far from the gate of Hulao Pass, more than a hundred martial arts students stood in a circle as if being punished, attracting the attention of many martial artists.

However, because the crowd on the outside was too dense, they couldn't see what was going on inside at all.

Although many free martial artists were filled with curiosity, there were still many martial arts students on guard around the perimeter, as if to keep strangers away.

And when they got closer, they suddenly saw the gleaming school badge of Tiangang Academy on the chests of these martial arts students, and they gave up the idea of ​​going around to find out what was going on, and left awkwardly.

Seeing this, many martial arts students couldn't help but straighten their chests with pride.

"Hey, Tuanzi." He Wenshan, a martial arts student in the group, patted the shoulder of the guy next to him, glanced at the classmates who were still unconscious, and pointed to them, asking in a low voice:

"What kind of trick did Senior Brother Shen use? In just a few seconds, he made dozens of martial arts students feel like they were having a nightmare."

In the center of the group, Luo Yun and the other martial arts students who had just closed their eyes had now opened them and were slumped on the ground, covered in sweat.

His breathing became rapid and shallow.

They were all pale-faced, looking as if they were still shaken.

"How would I know?" Xia Tuanjie shrugged, looking at the martial arts students who were panting, sweating profusely, pale-faced, and with various expressions, and added with considerable regret:

"But one thing is certain: these people will gain some insight."

"Impossible, right?" He Wenshan shook his head, denying it. "How could one possibly comprehend anything in just a few seconds?"

Xia Tuanjie was about to continue speaking, however...

"what?!"

"Only a few minutes have passed!" Luo Yun suddenly stood up, staring dumbfounded at the martial arts student beside him who had an ordinary expression, looking utterly incredulous.

He clearly felt that at least three or four days had passed in that illusion, but the martial arts students who did not close their eyes told him that less than five minutes had passed.

The other martial arts students who had just closed their eyes tightly also looked at their teammates with disbelief.

Chen Yifei and Su Ruozhi looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock, confusion, and bewilderment.

The two looked at their hands in confusion, feeling as if something unusual had happened.

Furthermore, many techniques for using the second-tier martial skill—the Flowing Cloud Entangling Blade—also surfaced in their minds; they realized that what they had been dreaming about before was not.

Or to be more precise, they were dreaming, and they even brought out the martial arts techniques from it.

What was that just now?

A mental illusion!

Chen Yifei and Su Ruozhi quickly looked towards the center of the crowd, only to find that Shen Bailian had disappeared without them noticing.

Luo Yun clearly realized the changes in himself, and without hesitation, he immediately took out a tube of basic nutritional medicine from his storage ring and gulped it down without waiting to digest it.

He pushed aside the bewildered martial arts student next to him and rushed out.

Swish!
In an instant, Luo Yun grasped a willow-leaf-shaped longsword in his hand. Then, his body moved nimbly, his movements as elusive as a ghost, radiating a chilling light.

This sent a chill down the spines of all the martial arts students who saw it.

This is the pinnacle of swordsmanship!
These martial arts students had all watched video demonstrations, and some martial arts teachers would demonstrate them several times before teaching.

Naturally, in just a moment, these people recognized that Luo Yun's Flowing Cloud Entangling Cloth Blade had broken through the threshold and reached the perfect state in just a few minutes!
"Holy crap!" He Wenshan stared in disbelief at what he was seeing, his pupils contracting sharply. He slapped Xia Tuanjie on the shoulder and exclaimed:
"What a missed opportunity!"

……

Inside Hulao City.

"Dong dong dong."

Shen Bailian had barely sat down on the sofa for a few seconds when he heard a knock on the door, followed by a slightly naive voice:

"Senior Brother Shen, are you there?"

"Here." Shen Bailian paused for a moment, then his Divine Eye pierced through the crack in the door and saw a martial arts student wearing the badge of the Heavenly Gang Academy outside the door.

He sighed helplessly, deciding to check the panel later. He quickly walked to the door, opened it, and looked at the martial arts student in front of him, asking in confusion, "Who are you?"

"Tian Ming." (End of Chapter)
