My slightest action was the system's limit.

Chapter 100: Foot massage is also a way

"Activate the third level of assessment!" Jiang Ye silently chanted in his heart.

Call ~
The environment around him faded away quietly.

It plunged into darkness.

When Jiang Ye opened his eyes again, he found himself in a strange, misty space.

"Where is this?" Jiang Ye asked, a look of confusion on his face.

All around, endless mist surged, white fog billowed, and this was true in all directions.

Even the ground beneath our feet felt as if we were walking on mist.

Just then, several lines of subtitles appeared before Jiang Ye's eyes.

[A grandmaster of martial arts, having reached the summit, finds himself shrouded in mist, unable to see the path ahead; all ordinary martial arts paths have been exhausted!]

When all hope seems lost, and one desires to advance further, one must attain a sudden enlightenment!

What you desire will become reality; find the path yourself.

As the subtitles faded, the surrounding fog intensified.

"Comprehend the Daoist principles?"

Jiang Ye frowned as he looked at the subtitles: "Does this level require me to comprehend the Dao?"

That's right?

He has only just broken through the first level, yet he is being told to attain enlightenment?

Logically, shouldn't enlightenment be something that only happens in the later stages of cultivation?
"Ok?"

Suddenly, Jiang Ye's expression turned strange.

According to the system's understanding.

The Grandmaster of Martial Arts is already the pinnacle of the low-level martial arts world.

Now that you mention it, enlightenment doesn't seem so wrong!

"Does enlightenment require one to pass this test?"

"But how can I attain enlightenment?"

Jiang Ye stared thoughtfully at the last line of the subtitles.

What you desire will become reality; find the path yourself.

"What you think, you become?"

"Could it be that"

Jiang Ye tried silently repeating in his mind: "Thunder!"

call!
The surrounding fog quickly dissipated.

The next moment, Jiang Ye appeared in the middle of a vast expanse of sky and earth, with rolling thunderclouds in front of him.

"Boom!" Thunder roared, and lightning flashed.

"I see."

Jiang Ye's face lit up with understanding: "In this space, whatever I think of can be manifested?"

To comprehend a particular path, imagine that scene!
Jiang Ye looked at the scene of lightning and thunder in front of him.

A hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

He had indeed heard that some unparalleled geniuses could comprehend the Dao simply by witnessing the universe.

But he's not that kind of genius; how could he possibly comprehend the Dao just by watching?
“Thunder is the Dao I am most familiar with,” Jiang Ye thought to himself. “If I can’t even comprehend the Dao of Thunder, let alone other Dao techniques.”

Throughout his cultivation journey, he has only ever learned one technique: the Eight-Part Thunder Sound Fist.

But can one comprehend the Dao of Thunder solely through this art?

It's not even close.

But for now, Jiang Ye can only try his best.

"Whoosh!" With a thought, he appeared directly in the middle of the endless thunderclouds.

Boom~
A bolt of lightning suddenly struck down, heading straight for Jiang Ye.

But it was as if it had struck a phantom, causing no harm to Jiang Ye.

"In this space, I am immortal."

Jiang Ye silently pondered, "But I can feel the sensation of being struck by lightning?"

Just now, he actually felt a trembling sensation as if he were facing the might of heaven!
Did this feeling help him achieve enlightenment? He didn't know.

But it is definitely helpful for the Eight Thunder Sound Fist.

If Jiang Ye could imitate that divine might, even just a trace of it, the power of the Eight Thunder Sound Fist would surely increase dramatically.

Thinking of this, a hint of excitement flashed in Jiang Ye's eyes.

Without hesitation, he quickly began to comprehend it.

But soon, Jiang Ye realized that he had been too naive.

Time flies.

Six hours passed in the blink of an eye.

"How exactly should one comprehend this Dao of Thunder?"

Jiang Ye stood before the endless thunderclouds, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

Enlightenment was still too advanced for him.

He simply doesn't have the vision or strength to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth.

After studying it for a long time, I still couldn't find a clue.

"Won't I be trapped here forever?" Jiang Ye's expression changed slightly. He wouldn't be able to return to the outside world until the assessment was over.

What if we get trapped for more than ten days?

Delaying the Starry Sea Divine Path is a minor matter, but if it delays the college entrance examination, that would be a real problem.

"I have another week, no rush." ​​Jiang Ye's mind gradually calmed down.

His strong martial arts will gave him the courage to face everything with equanimity.

Time flies.

Over the next few days, Jiang Ye spent his time in this space, constantly trying to comprehend the Dao.

In this process.

His understanding of thunder magic became increasingly profound.

But as for enlightenment? He still has no clue whatsoever.

In the blink of an eye, five days passed.

Jiang Ye had been working tirelessly and was already feeling exhausted.

"It's too difficult to comprehend the Dao of Thunder." Jiang Ye sighed inwardly as he looked at the lightning flashing in front of him.

Now that things have come to this, his heart is as calm as still water.

If it really delays the college entrance exam, I can always try again next year.

It's just that being a repeat student doesn't look as good on one's academic record.

"Relax a bit." Jiang Ye closed his eyes slightly.

He had been focused on enlightenment for five consecutive days, and his energy was completely depleted. He needed to recuperate properly.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ye had a sudden thought.

Call ~
The next moment, he arrived at a foot massage parlor.

Here, whatever Jiang Ye imagines becomes reality; all the scenes can be created with just a single thought.

He lay on the bed, picked up the tablet beside him, and began to select a technician: "Number 2, please."

I didn't look at their faces.

What I want is to open blind boxes.

If it doesn't work, try another one.

A moment later, the door was pushed open.

A stunningly beautiful girl dressed in white lace stockings and a maid outfit walked into the room carrying a bucket of hot water.

"Hello sir, technician number 2 is happy to serve you," the girl said in a soft, sweet voice.

Jiang Ye looked at the icy beauty who looked exactly like Chen Zilu and showed a surprised expression.

I was expecting a blind box, but I didn't expect to get such a stunningly beautiful item right away.

Who can stand this!

Soon, Chen Zilu began her service.

Just as Jiang Ye finished washing his feet and began massaging them, he suddenly felt a jolt of energy.

"What's wrong?" Chen Zilu looked up, a hint of confusion on her usually cool and pretty face.

"It's okay, you continue."

Chen Zilu lowered her head and massaged Jiang Ye's acupoints on the soles of his feet with her delicate palms.

And this moment.

Jiang Ye could almost feel two streams of energy rising from the soles of his feet as the girl massaged him.

A wisp of warm, melting snow-like energy rose from the Kidney Meridian, following the Foot Shaoyin Meridian, and rushed straight to Baihui (GV20).

A cool, refreshing energy, like that of a frozen pool, rises from the Yongquan point and flows upwards along the Bladder Meridian.

Two completely different energies collided violently at the Guanyuan acupoint.

"This is."

"The Qi circulation route in the 'Star Martial Advancement Method'?"

Jiang Ye was taken aback: "I was just massaging your feet, how did it start circulating its internal energy on its own?"

But soon, he realized what was happening.

Massage itself is a process of stimulating acupoints and meridians, which can make the flow of qi and blood smoother.

He just hadn't noticed it so obviously before.

But now, Jiang Ye has broken through to the first level and has become more sensitive to the meridians in his body.

So when the girl massaged his feet, he noticed it immediately.

"hehe."

Thinking of this, Jiang Ye couldn't help but smile: "It seems that massaging feet is also a form of cultivation."

"Foot massage is a way, and techniques are also methods!"

"It seems I'll have to massage my feet more often from now on."

Jiang Ye couldn't help but feel a sense of realization.

However, the very next second after he uttered his感慨 (feeling of emotion/reflection).

The surrounding scenery suddenly vanished like the wind.

You have completed the stage of enlightenment.
