Sweeping both worlds: Starting from idealistic martial arts

Chapter 381 Idealism and Materialism! The Trial of the River Against the Current!

Inside the grand hall constructed of flesh and blood, Fang Can sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed.

Voices from all over the world flooded into his mind, allowing him to hear them.

This is the third-tier inheritance he just finalized: [Echo of the True Name].

The purpose of this inheritance is that once it is activated, anyone who utters Fang Can's name will be perceived by the true entity.

This is the limit that Fang Can's third-stage Mind Light can achieve. Judging from this ability alone, it has no effect. Apart from being able to recognize others as soon as they say their names, it seems to be nothing special.

However, Fang Can does not rely solely on this ability to fight; it is part of his plan for future inheritance.

When you reach the fourth or fifth rank, this ability will truly shine thanks to the effects of the Forged Holy Court.

Unlike superpowers, inheritance has a clear evolutionary trend.

Or rather, this is the significant difference between idealism and materialism.

What is materialism? It is the understanding that reality does not change according to individual will.

There are often all sorts of questions and comments on online platforms.

For example, if you had the superpower to bend a spoon at will, what could you do with it?
Then, at this point, countless clever people will jump out and change the definition.

Examples include renaming omniscience and omnipotence as a spoon, or stating that a spoon cannot be controlled if it cannot be bent into the shape of omniscience and omnipotence.

This in itself allows any ability to modify the question by changing the name and distorting the definition.

But superpowers in the real world are like apples or bananas on a tree; they are what they are born with and cannot be changed by a person's will.

In a materialistic world of superpowers, language and concepts are merely products to facilitate human cognition of the world; they do not exist in themselves.

Therefore, superpowers are like physical laws, such as the boiling point of water being 100 degrees Celsius under one atmosphere of pressure on Earth.

No matter how you change the definitions of water and boiling point, or how eloquently you speak, nothing will change in the physical world; this is the objective truth.

But the martial arts of the mind are different; as long as your heart is strong enough, you can twist everything.

Essentially, the existence of a martial artist's inner light is for the purpose of distorting the present world. As long as your inner light is sufficient, it is possible to change the definition of things.

For example, in the eyes of a martial artist, his legacy is fire control.

If his brain were to be confused at this moment, causing a disorder in his memory of fire and water, his ultimate move [Wildfire] might be able to achieve the effect of [Flooding the Seven Armies].

Moreover, the effect becomes more terrifying with each advancement in cultivation level. When Fang Can reached the third advancement, he was able to sense people calling his name within the same universe.

Once he reaches the fourth reincarnation, he may be able to sense those in other universes who chant his true name.

Later, as one's level of attainment increases, it is not only true names that can be sensed, but also homophones, aliases, and even related concepts that come to mind.

Slowly opening his eyes, he deactivated the effects of the inheritance. All the voices from all corners of the world vanished, leaving only a stunningly beautiful figure with radiant eyes before him.

Looking at the beautiful woman before him, Fang Can smiled bitterly on his calm face and said, "Ning An, you've always been here."

"No, while you were in seclusion, I had already gathered all those female players together."

Ning An smiled and said, "It's a promise. Once you've finalized the inheritance, you'll take them all into your harem after you come out of seclusion. Don't go back on your word."

"Of course not..."

Fang Can's expression was inscrutable; it was the first time someone had urged him to build a harem like this. "Then hurry up, I'll call them in..." Jiang Ning'an excitedly brought her legs together slightly, subconsciously grabbing a corner of her dress.

"Wait!" Fang Can gently raised his hand to stop him, "There's no need to rush, and I can't handle nine million people at the same time."

"Then... what do you want to do?" Jiang Ning'an asked, puzzled.

"It's very simple. They don't need to see me in person; I can satisfy them."

Fang Can said calmly, "After all, there are nine million people. He can't possibly go up to each and every one of them. He can't possibly love everyone equally."

“How can that be? They love your body so much,” Jiang Ning’an retorted instinctively.

If Fang Can doesn't meet with her harem members, who will make up for her lack of participation in being cuckolded?

Thinking of this, Fang Can pondered for a moment and then said, "Then go and let them come to see me. I'll stay here and not move. If anyone can walk up to me, I'll have intimate contact with her."

"Okay, Ah Can, you can't go back on your word." Jiang Ning'an said happily, and then immediately went down to prepare.

As Jiang Ning'an left, Fang Can smiled faintly: 'Trying to get close to me won't be so easy.'

As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible AT force field instantly flowed outward from Fang Can like a river.

An hour later, outside the main hall, following Jiang Ning'an's call, millions of players arrived one after another.

By the time Feng Qiaoyan received the news and arrived here, quite some time had passed. She cursed herself for being slow to react; Fang Can must be completely overwhelmed by the sea of ​​people by now!

When the battle begins, with millions of people involved, I probably won't even get a sip of Fang Can's soup.

But chickens are a rare treat, and the young girl still came here with a glimmer of hope, only to be frightened by the echoes that reverberated throughout the mountains before she even got close.

Before the girl, the players let out uncontrollable screams, their emotions running high, like wildcats in spring.

But contrary to the sound, the female players in front of them were all alone, their faces flushed, making for an indecent scene.

"Ahhhhh, Lord Fang Can!"

"Hold on, everyone! You only have one chance to see Lord Fang Can, so don't let yourselves get knocked out!"

"But it's too intense, we just can't handle it! Aaaaaaah!"

……

"What's wrong with these people?" Feng Qiaoyan asked subconsciously.

As if they were having a conversation, in his eyes, players were falling unconscious while shouting themselves hoarse, and then being thrown away by an invisible force.

"It's the River of Reversal!" a heavy voice rang out from the side, as a player who had just fainted regained consciousness.

"The River Flowing Against the Current?"

"Yes, this is Lord Fang Can's test for us. Only by crossing this invisible river and stepping forward to stand before him can we truly become his women," the player said solemnly.

As she spoke, she pointed to the line drawn on the ground in front of her and said, "This line is the dividing line. As long as you step into it, the closer you get to the main hall, the more intense the stimulation you will be surrounded by."

"Stimulation is like a raging river; if you're not careful, you'll be dehydrated and unconscious, and then washed away by an invisible force."

"So this is a trial for our harem!"
