Wizard: I have ten trillion nanomachines

After packing their bags and supplies, Su Qi led everyone on their journey north.

The able-bodied men carried food and tools on their backs, but their eyes kept falling on a few special "prisoners"—cannon fodder who hadn't been killed by Luo Kunlun.

Su Qi had no intention of killing them. "I'm a doctor, I won't kill unless absolutely necessary."

"The fact that you didn't take action just now proves that you still have a conscience."

As he spoke, a faint blue-green battle aura emanated from Su Qi's fingertips, which he then touched on the chests of the group. "I have used my battle aura to slay what was inside you. You are free."

"But just to be on the safe side, you should still come with us. If you don't want to, then I'll have to use acupressure to make you forget what happened today."

After killing the worms inside them with his battle aura, Su Qi said to them.

They can either go with them, but behave themselves, or leave on their own, in which case Su Qi will erase their memories.

The prisoners naturally chose the former option.

Rather than being sent to be cannon fodder, it's better to start over with Su Qi and the others.

The group then set off, heading north towards the Secret Martial World.

...........

Seven more days passed.

Day and night alternated, and the schedule was tight.

During the day, the group navigated through the forests and valleys, avoiding various dangers.

When night falls, they find a secluded cave or dense forest to set up camp and rest.

Luo Kunlun followed the group, traveling all the way. They traveled during the day and rested at night, learning Renwangquan from Su Qi.

The teenagers in the group were quite enthusiastic about Luo Kunlun and often gathered around him.

After all, it was this "foreign swordsman" who saved their lives, but the adults and elderly who had experienced the catastrophe still looked at Luo Kunlun with a hint of undisguised apprehension.

After all, Luo Kunlun wasn't from their world; he came from the world of the invaders, the culprits who created all of this.

If they hadn't intervened to save the people earlier, they would never have agreed to travel with the other side, let alone let those prisoners go with them.

In the deep, silent night, Su Qi was teaching Luo Kunlun the Renwang Fist.

"Renwangquan belongs to the Gentle Fist lineage. Its core lies in 'defense' and 'return,' flowing freely and precisely like water."

As Su Qi demonstrated, he explained, "Its foundation is the Sixty-Four Acupressure Techniques, which can be used to fight enemies or for self-healing."

The human body has 720 acupoints, of which 36 are fatal.

Baihui (GV20) falls to the ground, Weilu (CV1) never returns home.

Zhangmen was hit, and nine out of ten died.

The sun and the mute gate are destined to meet the King of Hell.

A broken spine cannot be set; death comes suddenly from below the knees.

.....

No matter how strong a body is, a powerful impact to vital areas can be life-threatening. Renwangquan is based on pressure point techniques, supplemented by speed and skill, making its destructive power not to be underestimated.

Besides targeting vital points, stimulating specific acupoints can also regulate the body and temporarily enhance bodily functions.

Using it for healing is one purpose, and using it for fighting is another.

Above that are the secret techniques: the protective secret technique Reversal of Heaven, and the Vajra Break, which is the one Su Qi used to shatter the ice wall.

The soft power is concentrated at the fist tip, seemingly slow, but can instantly unleash fierce force, with softness containing strength.

With Nanomachine Zero, Lo Kunlun easily learned all of the above.

Now, he has already begun practicing the profound art of Niou.

"You're simply a genius!" Su Qi exclaimed sincerely. "Without any sect or school, you've achieved such success relying solely on basic qigong, forming your own unique style and even having your own 'secret techniques'."

.........

On the seventh night, Luo Kunlun sat cross-legged under a large tree, following Su Qi's advice, calming his mind and spirit, and trying to feel the energy of the plants and absorb the essence they exuded.

This feeling was somewhat similar to that year when he was practicing asceticism in the forest and entered a state of selflessness.

"Ding, detecting trace bioenergy..." Zero's electronic voice whispered in my mind.

Exhale, inhale.

Luo Kunlun's breathing seemed to gradually synchronize with the breathing of plants and trees. His vital energy gathered like fireflies, seeping into his body through his pores and merging with his own energy.

It felt like a long time had passed before Luo Kunlun emerged from this state.

By this time, it was already dawn.

Despite not having eaten, Luo Kunlun still felt a warmth throughout his body.

"This is normal," Su Qi explained. "Of the three elements of mind, body, and technique, your 'body' is too strong, stronger than many martial artists I know."

"If you want to practice fasting, you'd probably have to go to a primeval forest."

Data from Zero Synchronous Measurement shows that Luo Kunlun's physical fitness has improved to 31 points after learning Qigong and being nourished by Qi, which is an improvement over before.

Su Qi's physical fitness, according to calculations, is only eighteen points, which is above average among martial arts masters in the secret martial arts world.

"That is why your fighting spirit is extremely strong in both quality and quantity. To become even stronger, you must start from the 'heart' aspect."

In the art of mind, body, and skill, the mind comes first. In other words, no matter what you practice, you must start with the mind. To reach a certain level, the most important thing is the mind, followed by the technique, and then the body.

The heart, which is also the will and mind, is the fighting spirit for martial artists.

While someone who can overcome ten opponents with sheer force is undoubtedly powerful, without a strong fighting spirit, they are prone to panic when faced with an equal opponent, or even one they cannot defeat quickly, ultimately leading to their complete defeat and becoming a "useless person" in their heart.

And the will to fight also affects the fighting spirit.

As the vessel of life, the physical body determines the lower limit of fighting spirit, while the fighting will determines the upper limit.

Because fighting spirit is a product of martial artists modifying the basic ripple energy with their own desires and obsessions.

Desire is the source of fighting spirit.

Some madmen believe that the more one indulges one's desires, the stronger one's fighting spirit becomes, thus becoming aggressive and reckless.

But that's wrong. Moderate desires can motivate people and make them strong.

But endless desires will not make people strong; they will only lead them to destruction, causing heavy harm to themselves and others.

Humans emerged from the ranks of wild beasts, but if driven by desires, wouldn't we become wild beasts again?

After countless explorations, a conclusion was finally reached.

The clearer one's mind is, the better one can control oneself; the stronger one's mind is, the stronger one's fighting spirit will be.

Mediocre people are mediocre; those with exceptional talent are mixed up; the strong eliminate mediocreness and mixed up, and then they become strong.

The strongest transcend the world; the greatest truth is the simplest.

In the world of Secret Martial Arts, they are called Fighting God, Holy Awakener, or Living Dead.

Of the four major schools, only the Fighting God Sect in the north has produced such a person.

This is also why Su Qi is going to the north.

Currently, all the remaining martial artists who are still resisting are quietly heading north.

We should draw on the strengths of all schools of thought, work together to plan for the future, and jointly defend against foreign enemies.
