There's something wrong with me

Chapter 195 The New World [Calm and Composed]

The instant the countdown ended.

The sensation on the skin is coldness and heaviness.

My vision was initially blurry, but then, thanks to the tattered cloth (the conductor's hat) on my head, it instantly became clear.

Small hands and feet, slowed thinking.

It's a three-month-old baby.

'Starting as a baby?'

After discovering this situation, Zhang Feng knew he was too young to have much memory of it, so he looked directly at his own information.

[Age: Three months]

[Physique: 3]

【Root bone: 6.5】

[Martial Arts: 6.7]

[Spiritual Roots: 6.2]

All three stats are at level 6, and the constitution is at level 3.

call-

Silently, Zhang Feng also opened three meridians.

Zhang Feng also studied the functions of infants to prevent this day from coming, so there is no such thing as 'not being able to open'.

The only slightly difficult part is finding the right spiritual connection.

Because infants' thinking abilities and mental energy are fundamentally too low.

With such a low initial number, Zhang Feng felt he couldn't activate it in a short time.

In addition, since I need to open my meridians at the beginning, which requires me to divide my mind, the first spiritual thought may take some time.

Zhang Feng also considered first opening his own spiritual sense, and then trying to deepen his thinking ability while absorbing spiritual energy.

But as I said before, the number of babies is too low, so even if it's opened up, it won't be able to repair anything.

Why not overclock to 100% first, and then try to use the surrounding spiritual energy to increase your physical strength if possible?

Those with high spiritual roots will attract spiritual energy from the surroundings into their bodies even without using their spiritual senses.

The baby was once thought to be "almost certainly going to die," but now Zhang Feng thinks that even if no one takes him in, he can somehow find a way to survive.

As he pondered, Zhang Feng opened his meridians while looking at the text information.

[Resurrection Chance: 5]

[Adventure Level: 7]

【Adventure Type: Growth, Survival, Freedom】

[Note: New enhancement options will be available every three years of survival, up to a maximum of 22 times.]

[Identity: Abandoned child of the Zhang family, a prominent clan in Xuanhu City]

Main Quest: Survive for 100 Years

[Non-main quest: Return to the Zhang family, or make the Zhang family regret abandoning you, any method is acceptable]

'...' Zhang Feng was speechless when he saw this.

There was a feeling that my own aptitude was too poor, which led to my being abandoned in the 'early stages'.

Afterwards, the familiar feeling of returning as an invincible powerhouse after mastering the 'late stage' of divine skills.

Of course, this is also because I have too much knowledge and will surely become a strong person in the future, which is why I feel speechless.

But if it were the 'little Zhang Feng' before his arrival, this would be a state of confusion and great terror.

Even if he survives, is adopted, and learns that he is a member of the Zhang family.

But without any extraordinary encounters or special opportunities, just hearing about this "Zhang family" tells you it won't be easy to deal with.

That's what I was thinking about.

Zhang Feng was suddenly pleasantly surprised, but not because of his future 'revenge'. Instead, he found that his thinking had become clearer and he was no longer like a baby, always wanting to sleep.

It seems that having high spiritual roots is indeed a good thing.

With the constant inhalation of spiritual energy, coupled with opening one's meridians and appropriate resonance, one can achieve this.

After their physical condition improved, their mental state quickly reached that of a 5-month-old or even 6-month-old.

Based on the current situation, Zhang Feng looked around again and found that it was a dilapidated temple. Only after finding no one nearby did he begin to make the corresponding judgments on the first sequence.

[Your current honor level: 7]

【Please select your first sequence enhancement】

【1: Advanced Bond: Agriculture】

【2: Advanced Bond: Taoist Magic】

【3: Advanced Bond: Martial Arts】

[Special: Calm and Composed]

Zhang Feng glanced at the options and saw that option 1, agriculture, was related to planting spiritual herbs. He then looked directly at option 2.

The cultivation of spiritual herbs can be learned later when one grows up; there's no need to waste the first step in the process.

[Taoist Arts: Epic, Legendary, First Order]

[Effect: After making this selection, a cultivator from a nearby sect will accidentally pass by the dilapidated temple one hour later and discover you.]

[Note 1: Age 51, Taoist practice, gentle, no disciples]

[Note 2: After making this selection, the main quest will change to 'Reach the Golden Core Perfection within a hundred years and enter the top ten in the world']

'A Golden Core cultivator at perfection, yet only ranked around tenth?'

Zhang Feng was momentarily stunned, never expecting that the height in this world could be so high.

Conversely, one must achieve the Golden Core stage and master various martial arts techniques to become '100% invincible'.

The premise is that the current number one spot cannot be too far off.

But upon closer reflection, it's normal to elevate it now, since it was already labeled "extraordinary" when it returned last time.

Moreover, this time there is a century of development and a first-sequence selection.

at the same time.

Zhang Feng skipped over option 3, which was similar to option 2, and looked directly at the special option.

[Composure and Serenity: Legendary, Epic, First Order, Taoist/Magic-based]

[Note 1: Taoist magic-related entries must be legendary entries.]

[Note 2: Once this enhancement is selected, there will be no further enhancement options.]

【效果1：消化与吸收+600克，根骨+6、武学+6、灵根+6】

[Effect 2: Gain a rich spiritual energy that can sustain your daily energy expenditure; works perfectly for those with a constitution level below 20]

[Effect 3: Overall thinking ability correction +0.2]

[Effect 4: Instantly reduce all types of distracting thoughts by 20%]

[Effect 5: Increases the additional resistance to each element by 3%]

[Effect 6: Obtain a common Golden Elixir cultivation method memory]

……

After looking at the attributes, there's also this cultivation technique.

A complete and perfect set is a must-have.

In particular, there is a 'one-day food' that is enough for the body to grow.

Zhang Feng made the choice without even thinking, and even wobbled as he sat up from his swaddling clothes.

The three-month-old baby's unusual behavior seemed strange.

But Zhang Feng was only happy, because this addition brought his three talents to +12!

The naturally absorbed spiritual energy is now more concentrated.

With a little self-control, and with distracting thoughts reduced by 20%, I was able to control myself further.

When the two are combined, the mind becomes slightly 'lighter', and spiritual thoughts naturally form.

Zhang Feng's exceptional talent and profound knowledge allowed him to reach the point where he "learned the law before he could walk."

After Zhang Feng emerged from the swaddling clothes, he did nothing else but grab the swaddling clothes and tried to control his spiritual energy slightly to transfer his 'little fortune' behind the statue in the dilapidated temple.

Use both hands and feet, and let the spiritual energy work together as a dragging motion.

After this whole process, Zhang Feng successfully hid in the gap between the statue and the wall.

Squeak—

A few rats were startled and scurried out from a pile of fallen leaves and trash before quickly running away.

Zhang Feng was actually quite nervous when he saw the rats.

Although it's definitely possible to win, it would require wasting spiritual energy and stamina.

After all, I am still a baby, and resources are scarce right now, so I must make the most of them.

The reason for hiding here is also in case a wild animal or some bad guy comes.

With his current strength, he's just a pushover; he'd have a hard time even beating a normal adult.

Although there is spiritual energy, the spirit is too low to draw a complete talisman.

It's very possible that he'll fall asleep before he's even finished drawing a single talisman.

Moreover, the results of the paintings were also pitiful because my physical constitution and spiritual energy were too low.

While pondering, Zhang Feng tried to unleash the internal energy of his internal organs while simultaneously overclocking to 100%.

Even today's infants cannot support two spiritual thoughts.

But after a while of resonance, it should be about right.

Physical constitution is the 'foundation' of everything within Zhang Feng's combat power system.

Once the foundation is in place, the remaining training methods can be built up layer by layer.

Fortunately, there is a set of 'daily food' provided by the rules; otherwise, with its rapid growth and consumption, it would be completely unable to supply itself.

Even if it could absorb spiritual energy from the air, it couldn't supply enough.

Because the spiritual level is too low, the digestion is not fast enough.

However, if he were to possess an adult, after Zhang Feng activated 100% overclocking, he would immediately begin cultivating spiritual thought, opening at least six paths to ensure all techniques operated together, rather than choosing to open a single path for resonance.

Zhang Fengdu prioritizes laying a foundation and developing his resources, starting by finding the optimal and fastest development method.

Before I knew it, six hours had passed, and now it was night.

Physical fitness has also been improved to the minimum standard of 15.

Further advancement becomes difficult because the weak body cannot support a larger physical structure and cannot store as much energy. Of course, brute force an improvement is possible, but that might result in running out of energy after throwing a dozen or so punches.

Now, there are only two ways to continue improving.

First, I can accelerate my own growth, but this involves higher-level knowledge and principles that I don't yet understand.

If you understand this, then you've learned the supernatural power of 'size at will'.

Zhang Feng even thought that if he could control his own growth hormone, then it wouldn't be difficult to recover quickly from non-fatal injuries.

Ultimately, they all aim to accelerate their own growth.

However, according to the constant laws, cell division is finite. If you want to speed up the replacement of old cells with new ones, you will naturally reduce your lifespan in a roundabout way.

Zhang Feng doesn't quite understand this topic yet and needs to explore it further.

Another way to improve one's physical condition is to enhance one's spiritual awareness.

Its improvement can create a suitable 'backup energy base' for itself.

As long as there is a base, most of the body's energy consumption can be freed from the shackles of the physical body and transferred to spiritual energy.

……

In a daze, three hours passed, and three spiritual thoughts were opened.

His physical constitution also improved to 18, which was a natural improvement achieved through the nourishment of spiritual energy.

Once you reach the sixth level, your physique's maximum level will be around 30.

When my physique reaches level 30, I will open six or more paths.

Then continue cultivating your spirit and open the sixth path as soon as possible.

At this moment, Zhang Feng reversed his cultivation method and began to focus on mental strength.

This alternation of positive and negative forces is what Zhang Feng envisioned as the fastest cultivation speed, along with appropriate cultivation optimization.

Although continuing this training might result in a 'fragile cultivator' or a 'mana-deficient mage,' there's not much that can be done due to age restrictions.

However, with the nourishment of spiritual energy in the future, their physical condition will catch up quickly, and they may even be able to exceed the physiological limits that should be in place for their age time and time again.

This experience is helpful for understanding things like 'growth factors', 'size control', and 'transformation techniques'.

Zhang Feng is now learning as he goes.

After deciding that he was capable of protecting himself, he began to "take a break".

After all, this world has a long history, and it involves cultivation techniques.

Therefore, in order to better cultivate magic, one must naturally purify one's inner demons.

Since Zhang Feng had just opened his third spiritual sense, he also had extra energy to receive the 'Golden Elixir Method' within the entry.

Now that there's an additional orthodox Taoist cultivation method, the cultivation system has become even more chaotic.

To better manage things in the future, one must naturally have a clear mind.

Zhang Feng was also thinking of using three parts of the Returning Origin Qi to condense a True Cultivation 'Golden Core'.

Now that I've mastered overclocking and other technologies, it's time to clear my head, reorganize, and combine everything.

Otherwise, with so many systems of cultivation techniques, just practicing the separate spiritual thought techniques would be enough to torment people.

At the same time, Zhang Feng was also pondering his Three-Part Returning Origin Qi.

Crash-

A cool breeze blew in from outside, bringing a touch of dampness.

Based on the moisture in the air and meteorology, Zhang Feng quickly deduced that it was highly likely to rain within half an hour.

Furthermore, based on certain plot points and the crisis mentality conveyed in the text.

Normally, people would come to this dilapidated temple to take shelter from the rain.

To avoid trouble.

Zhang Feng glanced around, looked at the statue above, and muttered to himself, 'I'm sorry.'

Later, Zhang Feng used earth-elemental spiritual energy to separate the stone back behind the statue, creating two pits the size of footballs.

With a light leap, she hid inside with the swaddled baby.

Huhu—

The stones closed up again, leaving only a few pits exposed, which were used for the exchange of spiritual energy and air.

Zhang Feng burrowed deeper into the small blanket, and it felt quite comfortable.

Wow—

Sure enough, a sudden downpour began a dozen minutes later.

Zhang Feng yawned as he listened to the dull sound of rain inside the statue.

Using the mindset of an infant, I persisted for almost ten hours, and then practiced for another ten hours.

Zhang Feng was also nearing his limit and wanted to get a good night's sleep.

Since no one has come yet, I'll take a nap first.

……

"The rain is really heavy..."

"Boss, this shipment is difficult to deliver."

"Stop talking nonsense, quickly find some firewood and dry the clothes..."

Zhang Feng could vaguely hear voices inside the temple.

I became aware of this situation.

And again, they didn't notice him.

Listening to the footsteps, they were very light, like those of a young expert with a physique of around 50.

In the next second, Zhang Feng used all his spiritual senses to form a spiritual awareness, but he did not rashly 'look' at them, lest they have some kind of spiritual energy that could sense his probing.

Instead, Zhang Feng began to inscribe various 'spirit-finding talismans' in his spiritual consciousness in turn, to test whether they had any spiritual energy.

This kind of spiritual seeking is a very distant 'perception' that does not interfere with their spiritual energy fluctuations, so they cannot detect it.

As they changed places repeatedly, Zhang Feng discovered that they didn't possess any spiritual energy; they simply lived in a world of spiritual energy and practiced martial arts.

The spiritual energy level of this world is 2.7, at least in the desolate wilderness of this place.

With a spiritual energy level of 2.7 and martial arts training, a physical constitution of 50 is not unusual.

So Zhang Feng switched to using his spiritual sense to look.

When spiritual awareness swept over them.

Because Zhang Feng had also studied psychiatry and neurons for several years in reality.

So much so that in the instant the aura swept over them, the aura scan revealed the process and fluctuations of the breeze and aura passing over them.

The next second, Zhang Feng's retina also showed a 'blurred' image of the outside world.

This demonstrates the refraction principle of superconducting glasses in a virtual building, as well as principles related to wind and dynamics.

Similarly, the spirit also has this 'scanning function', but in the past it had to be presented in the mind, which would take up most of the spirit's consciousness to analyze, and it couldn't be seen so simply and directly.

Of course, it cannot be denied that I was not familiar with spiritual awareness before, so I did not develop this ultimate 'optimized use'.

Just like someone knows that a car can drift, but someone who is familiar with driving a car may not be able to do this move perfectly.

Although Zhang Feng is the one who builds cars (spiritual consciousness), he didn't actually know how to drift before.

Their specializations are all different: car manufacturing involves divination and neuroscience, refraction involves visual elemental science and signal science, and there are also related fields such as wind science and dynamics.

Five years of reality, aside from 100% overclocking and other things.

Zhang Feng also improved a lot of knowledge, allowing it to be effectively integrated and shared, and effectively reducing his own consumption, thus achieving further optimization of his spiritual thoughts.

And so it was under such shared use.

Zhang Feng didn't need to worry about his spiritual energy being depleted. Instead, he watched as if he were watching a movie, constantly observing the dozen or so escorts outside, as they searched for flammable materials throughout the temple.

They did not find Zhang Feng.

They were still collecting firewood, then starting a fire to bake flatbread and dry clothes.

Crackling sound—

The damp matches occasionally crackled and popped as they burned.

After observing for a while, Zhang Feng deduced, based on their clothing, the gold and silver in the box at the door, and several letters, that this world was around the 'ancient' Tang Dynasty.

However, the current letters are signed 'Shang Dynasty'.

They were delivering silver from government-owned banks.

Could there be a Li Bai from the Tang Dynasty? Or Di Renjie, or even Yuan Tiangang?

Zhang Feng felt that if Li Bai existed, then given this special world, he would definitely be a 'sword immortal'.

If it were Di Renjie, he would definitely be a brilliant detective.

Yuan Tiangang must be a master of Feng Shui secrets.

As Zhang Feng pondered these legendary figures...

The dozen or so bodyguards were talking about something related to magic.

"Gentlemen," a man suddenly asked, "Grand Master Lingchen went to Hengzhou City last month to pray for rain. Do you think he was able to succeed?"

"Oh?" another bodyguard said, "I don't know if the Grand Mage can get what he wants, but I do know that if the Grand Mage wants to suppress you, it will be a piece of cake."

As he spoke, he looked around.

"You speak ill of the Grand Master behind his back. Aren't you afraid that the walls will hear you and that your words will be relayed to the Grand Master?"

"This..." The man suddenly felt a little scared.

Because his position was right in front of the statue.

If you look up, you can see the eyes of the statue, staring straight at you.

Rumble—

Lightning flashed outside, illuminating the surrounding area, and the firelight inside the dilapidated temple made the gaze of the statue seem particularly eerie.

After all, there are highly skilled magicians and whether the statues are truly divine.

These are all things he cannot understand.

The bodyguard, seeing the man's fear, found it amusing and lowered his voice to continue:
"Look at this statue. Perhaps right now, a great sorcerer has descended upon this statue and is staring straight at you..."

"Ouch..." The man's jaw tightened upon hearing this, and the hairs on his face stood on end. He felt even more strongly that there was someone inside the statue.

at the same time.

When Zhang Feng saw him like this, and then saw the crowd sitting in a circle all looking up at him, Zhang Feng noticed that they were all looking up at him.

To be honest, Zhang Feng felt that the scene of everyone raising their heads simultaneously, illuminated by the firelight, was far more eerie than the statues themselves.
