Under One Person: I can manipulate magnetic fields!

"Brother Xu, you flatter me. It was just good luck."

Chen Yuan shrugged, looking at the two disciples of the Technique Sect who were wolfing down their food, and was somewhat speechless.

How long have these two guys gone without eating?

"Hey? Haiwang, how long has it been since you've eaten?"

Liu Deshui was dumbfounded.

These two can eat even more than him.

"I couldn't help it, I forgot to bring any money with me when I went out."

Hu Haiwang gave an awkward smile.

After all, he and his senior brother didn't go out and explore much.

So this is the first time I've encountered something like this.

"So, what brings you two to Beijing?"

Chen Yuan asked curiously.

"Brother Chen, you mustn't tell anyone about this. My senior brother and I came here to deal with the supernatural beings from Japan."

Hu Haiwang said mysteriously.

"Huh!?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan was immediately taken aback.

No way?

So, the helpers Lu Sheng invited were these two guys?

"Yes, I've heard that the Japanese are extremely difficult to deal with. Even a master from Jiajia Village in the Northwest died at the hands of that Japanese freak."

Xu Daoqian nodded as well.

However, he was very confident in his abilities.

His Qimen Dunjia and Liuyao divination techniques are truly exceptional.

Moreover, he even consulted a fortune teller before he arrived.

This hexagram is the Fire over Wind hexagram (鼎).

The Ding hexagram is the fiftieth of the sixty-four hexagrams in the *I Ching*, signifying stability amidst change. Its code is 3:5; the primary hexagram is the Xun hexagram (3), a yang number; the secondary hexagram is the Li hexagram (5), also a yang number. The two hexagrams are stacked. The hexagram symbolizes burning wood to cook food, transforming the raw into the cooked, and signifying discarding the old and establishing the new.

The ding (鼎) is a precious and important vessel, symbolizing stability with its three legs. The ding hexagram follows the jing (井) and ge (革) hexagrams, and is the third hexagram representing reform. The ding hexagram uses the imagery of "the ding overturns, bringing benefit from adversity; gaining a concubine with her son" and the imagery of adorning the ding with "yellow ears and golden handles" and "jade handles" to discuss the gratifying gains after reform, while also warning of the terrible consequence of "the ding breaking its legs" due to careless reform.

The commentary on the line is the commentary on the third line of the ninth hexagram.

The first part of the "Nine-Three" hexagram's text, "The handles of the cauldron are deformed or damaged, making it impossible to use the vessel for lifting the cauldron; the pheasant fat cannot be eaten, and the rain spoils it. Regret, but ultimately good fortune," means that because the handles of the cauldron are deformed or damaged, the vessel for lifting the cauldron cannot be inserted, rendering the cauldron unusable; because the cauldron cannot be used to cook food, the plump pheasant cannot be eaten and is spoiled by the rain.

The following sentence means that the cauldron cannot be used, which prompts change. At first, it seems like a regret, but the result is auspicious. The "ultimate good fortune" here is actually the "cauldron with yellow ears and golden handle" and "jade handle" in the later lines.

So the process might be somewhat ominous, but the result is very auspicious.

So, he figured it wasn't a big deal, and brought Hu Haiwang over to broaden his horizons.

"The two people Brother Lu Sheng found are a bit unreliable. Xu Daoqian seems quite capable, but this guy..."

Chen Yuan looked at Xu Daoqian.

This guy looks clever, but he's also a bit naively stupid.

Hu Haiwang needs no further explanation. Although they had killed that demon together before, this kid can be a bit foolish at times.

However, these two shouldn't be too bad in terms of strength.

"An extraordinary person from Japan? Do you need my help?"

Liu Deshui clenched his fist and said.

After all, as a member of the Yanwu Hall, he naturally hated evil, especially the Japanese.

You should know that those bastards have already secretly occupied a part of Northeast China.

"This one……"

Xu Daoqian glanced at Liu Deshui.

It's better to have more people, but he's not sure if this kid is capable enough. It wouldn't be good if he went over and made things worse.

"If you need anything, just come to Yanwu Hall and find me anytime!"

Liu Deshui raised his head, his face full of excitement.

He was willing to shed his blood for his country and its people.

"This kid certainly has guts."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly.

Deshui is a fine kid. Aside from his sworn brotherhood with Wugensheng, he hasn't done anything wrong in theory.

However, this can't be blamed on the kid; Wugensheng's charm is too great.

Even the Left Gate Master said that he wanted to be a close friend of Wugensheng despite their age difference.

This guy is clearly very charming.

"Brother Chen, what about you? Would you like to come with us?"

Hu Haiwang looked at Chen Yuan with some anticipation.

After all, Chen Yuan is extremely strong, and with his help, dealing with that Japanese would be much easier.

"When the country is in trouble, every citizen has a responsibility. Hehe, although I'm a bit of a scoundrel, I'll naturally lend you a hand in this kind of thing!"

Chen Yuan chuckled.

After all, he was originally going to help Lu Sheng.

Besides, since you've traveled to this era, why not change it?

Doing nothing would be cowardly.

Chapter 360 Innate and Acquired! (First Update)

"Well said, Brother Chen! When the country is in trouble, every citizen has a responsibility! Although we are not ordinary citizens, we also have a heart full of patriotism!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of admiration flashed in Xu Daoqian's eyes.

Of course, he was unaware that Chen Yuan was also involved in this mission.

If I had known, I probably wouldn't have been so excited.

"Brother Chen truly lives up to his reputation!"

Hu Haiwang also gave a thumbs up.

This is a real man.

However, those few Japanese soldiers were still a bit troublesome.

We must not be careless.

"Brother Yuan, what you said makes perfect sense! I'll do my part too!"

A hint of excitement flashed across Liu Deshui's chubby face. He clenched his fist, then picked up a piece of duck meat, put it in his mouth, and began to chew it heartily.

Let's eat something first.

"This roast duck tastes really good!"

Xu Daoqian and Hu Haiwang also quickly got into the mood for eating.

"..."

Looking at the group of people, Chen Yuan felt somewhat helpless.

These guys are like reincarnated starving ghosts. Luckily, he had enough money on him, otherwise he would probably have been eaten out of house and home by them.

"Wealth, companions, methods, and land—what am I still lacking?"

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes.

According to Master Zuo, for a cultivator to reach the highest level of spiritual attainment, wealth, companions, Dharma, and environment are all indispensable.

Think about it, the comics mentioned that there were extraordinary people involved during the Chu-Han Contention, especially Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, who was also an extraordinary person. But why did he lose to Liu Bang?

The problem clearly lies here: the extraordinary individuals were all busy cultivating, so the number of participants was probably small. Therefore, Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, was still no match for the Han Emperor Gaozu, who had a large number of people.

"After my Eight Directions Reversal Technique advancement, I should have a better chance of defeating Makino Ittosai!"

Chen Yuan watched the three of them enjoying their meal, his mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.

The ability to reverse the eight directions is to use Qi to form a field and control the direction and magnitude of force, similar to the human body's magnetic field.

This ability allows Chen Yuan to create a special field using his own Qi, the trajectory of which can be extended and expanded. Chen Yuan can control the direction and magnitude of the force within the field, thus applying force of arbitrary strength and direction at will within the domain. This ability does not involve directly influencing the other party through willpower, but rather achieves control over force through the interaction of Qi and magnetic fields.

"Hehe, now that it's combined with the divine sense magnetic field, the power of my electromagnetic cannon is even greater. It should be very convenient to launch a sneak attack on that guy."

Chen Yuan smiled to himself.

He now has a deeper understanding of the concept of reversing the eight directions.

When using the Reversed Eight Directions, Chen Yuan will construct and manipulate the magnetic field according to his own will.

By controlling the distribution and intensity of the magnetic field, the direction and magnitude of the force can be changed, thereby enabling remote manipulation of objects or attacks on enemies.

This ability can be used in a more flexible and versatile way, adapting to different combat scenarios and needs. In actual combat, the "Reversal of Eight Directions" technique can demonstrate astonishing effects. Chen Yuan can easily alter the trajectory, speed, and even shape of objects, thereby creating a variety of unexpected attack methods.

Furthermore, since the range of the magnetic field can be extended, the inverted eight directions are also highly practical in terms of long-range attack and defense.

Apart from the Triple Rebirth Technique of the Three Ones and the Thunder Technique of the Celestial Master's Mansion, he felt that his Reversal of the Eight Directions technique was basically unstoppable.

"Speaking of which, Jin Feng's telekinesis is somewhat similar to the ability to reverse directions and divine sense. It's just a pity that her ability is an innate superpower, so it can't be improved too much."

Chen Yuan touched his chin.

Telekinesis is a superpower that uses unseen forces to manipulate objects from a distance. Currently, the most prominent user of telekinesis among the superhumans is Xu Xiang's son, Xu San.

Telekinesis typically manifests as manipulating the position, orientation, or state of an object through thought without physical contact. The principle of telekinesis relies more on the concentration of thought and the release of power than on the interaction of Qi and magnetic fields.
