Chapter Five: Seeking the Truth (Part Two)

Exercising at high altitudes where the air is thin and the environment is harsh is almost equivalent to being in anaerobic exercise all the time, and its effects far surpass those of exercising on flat ground. The body, which is already under easy control, can be perceived more clearly at this time. Every muscle and skin in the body is under one's control, and the coordination between organs is more natural.

In different times and spaces, atop this same mountain, there are also the same people seeking a path invisible to the naked eye in this secluded place...

One step... two steps... three steps... and we arrived at the highest point of the earth. It was as if there was almost no air left; this was... the closest place to the universe.

Here, Beaune witnessed a scene she would never forget for the rest of her life.

Even the clouds stretched out beneath my feet, an endless sea of ​​clouds stretching as far as the eye could see. The deep blue of the azure sky merged with the boundless white, extending together towards the horizon…

Such a magnificent sight, a sea of ​​clouds drifting aimlessly. A feeling of supreme power, of being the only one worthy of respect, arises spontaneously from the depths of one's heart. As long as these feelings surge into the body and spread throughout the flesh, even the coldest touch will turn into a surge of heat.

To be drunk and recline on a beauty's lap, to awaken and wield power over the world. This feeling of controlling everything and looking down upon all living beings... is indeed wonderful, it can be said to be the ultimate in wonder.

But this wasn't the feeling Baiana wanted; to her, it was nothing more than a shackle, another quagmire, a formless poison. What she sought, what she desired, wasn't all of this that didn't belong to her.

Memories of Gotham City flooded her mind, but everything before that... was completely absent from her memory. Bai Aina felt nothing about it, nor did she see anything wrong with it.

Having no memories of the past does seem like a terrible and unpleasant thing. Bai Aina did admit that sometimes she felt an uncomfortable emptiness in her heart, but it wasn't particularly painful.

For Baina, who has no memories of the past, living in the present, being happy, and having a fulfilling life is enough...

As for chasing after past memories... well, it depends on the situation. If you can have them, great; if not, it's fine too. Even if you could, it might not make your present life better, and even if you couldn't... aren't you doing just fine now?

Besides being stuck with a terrible system, living a life where you could die at any moment, and having no social security or housing fund...

The past, which connects to the present, is now an empty void, leaving no trace. The distant future is uncertain, its fortunes or calamities unpredictable. Therefore, what one can truly value… what one can truly care about… isn't the present the only thing left?

Being happy, living freely, and enjoying life... that's what matters. An inexplicable force pulled Bai Aina towards the ground, causing her to deliver a harmless punch.

An invisible force spread out, and a vast ocean rippled. The great white sharks that thrashed about in this sea were calm and at ease, a stark contrast to their ferocity in Batman's hands, and unlike the fierceness of the founder of this martial art, Tiandao.

She shed her cumbersome windbreaker and sweatpants, leaving her in only a close-fitting black sports vest and black tight shorts. Having found something, Bai Aina stood still, her long gray hair moving without wind, swelling under the stimulation of bioelectricity.

Bai Aina could sense the power that Heaven had poured into this simple fist technique. This man, who pursued the spirit of martial arts and was filled with ideals, had poured everything into this fist technique.

The seemingly simple boxing technique actually incorporates all his knowledge, and the simple movements contain infinite martial arts concepts. Although it is not a high-end martial art, but merely a trick from the Dharma-ending Age, it is a crystallization passed down through generations.

This was still not what Baina wanted; it was too cumbersome, too burdensome. To her, these precious crystals were like a weight. What she needed was something simpler, more direct, something that allowed her to do as she pleased…

What she was going to unleash was the Bai Aina Joyful Fist! Not the Heavenly Martial Giant Shark Fist! If even a fist couldn't make her happy, then what was the point of this fist technique?

Leisurely and carefree, doing as one pleases, moving and still as one pleases. Not so complicated, not so burdensome, just what one possesses… what one desires…

The eagle hits the sky, the fish is shallow, and the tens of thousands of frosts are free.

The great white shark in the sea is gradually changing, shedding its ferocity as a predator and its savagery as a beast. What remains is only the free spirit of the sea, and its swaying tail embodies a thriving vitality.

Yes, it's simply about being able to live happily in the present and having the freedom to act as one pleases. The flowing tides create small whirlpools, and a spirit of the sea leaps out, pure and free, as it swims along with them—a miracle called life.

"True Martial Arts... Dolphin Fist!" The sea spirit leaping out of the water cried out in this place closest to the universe. The crisp sound echoed among the mountains, making the old man look up at the mountain.

Compared to the Heavenly Martial Giant Shark of the Heavenly Dao, it lacks the ferocity and refinement, and it doesn't have that sharp, immediate sense of killing the enemy. But Bai Aina's True Martial Dolphin Fist has an added sense of carefree ease and unrestrained joy.

With a downward press of her palm, she slowly withdrew her fist. Looking at her palm, Bai Aina felt a sense of enlightenment. Grasping this feeling, she slowly performed a set of fist techniques at the highest point of the mountain, a set of fist techniques that did not resemble fist techniques.

Even the most renowned martial arts master would find this set of fist techniques utterly laughable. It's riddled with flaws and weaknesses; the movements are inaccurate, the breathing during attacks is uncoordinated, and the techniques themselves are far too arbitrary and capricious…

If one were to fight an enemy using such a fist technique, one would likely be killed in a single blow within three moves, as the opponent would find an opening.

But for Beaune, these things were not worth caring about at all. Her primary concern was her own happiness, and these trivial matters came second.

If these things are put first, wouldn't they create more obstacles, burdens, and shackles when you act?

That's right, exactly. Not seeking the future, but only the present. Even when it goes against her own principles, what Bai Aina pursues is... a clear conscience and freedom.

Day and night alternated, the sun and moon rose and fell. At the pinnacle of nothingness, under the watchful eyes of the stars, Bai Aina did nothing but throw a punch... and then retract it.

She repeated these movements mechanically, honing her fist techniques time and again. Bai Aina's movements were sometimes gentle, sometimes powerful. When she retracted her fist, she was as still as a mountain; when she threw a punch, she was as swift as thunder, as powerful as the blazing sun, and as fluid as flowing water—beautiful yet possessing an indescribable sharpness.

Once… twice… three times… The footprints on the mountaintop were covered by wind and snow, but soon new footprints appeared in the same spot. Blurred shadows were projected into the mountains by the light, and a figure practicing martial arts put down his fist.

Looking at the white clouds beneath her feet, the endless horizon, and the blazing sun overhead, Bai Aina, standing atop the mountains, smiled.

At the summit, the girl no longer sought her own path. All that remained were two footprints that could not be covered by the wind and snow.

Chapter Six: Feeling Good

What exactly does death feel like? If you really had to describe it, it's somewhat like being in deep sleep, only it feels more complete, reaching a level that's unacceptable and that you subconsciously resist.

Her heart, which had almost stopped beating, slowly began to beat again, and the flow of blood began to quicken. With the support of this momentum, Bai Aina slowly opened her eyes, her purple eyes filled with a look of sudden realization.

"I never expected that just trying out the so-called 'embracing the elixir' would actually produce such a result. It's quite interesting." Bai Aina moved her palms, then sat back down and slowly closed her eyes.

The so-called "Embracing the Elixir" is a realm within Chinese martial arts. Back in Gotham City, Bai Aina had already successfully entered the Transformation Realm through continuous physical refinement and blood modification. The current "Embracing the Elixir" involves locking all the body's Qi, blood, and spiritual will into a tiny point, then using that single point of essence to stimulate the stagnant life force. It's a process of turning from life to death, and then from death to life.

If she fails, her heart will stop beating… Well, that doesn’t matter to Baina at all. This kind of death is closer to deep sleep, like the habits of a hibernating animal, it’s a piece of cake.

After only a few tries, Bai Aina mastered the technique and successfully entered the so-called "Embracing the Core" state. By concentrating all her blood and energy into a single point and then unleashing it, she gained explosive power. With a flick of her finger, she could generate force in mid-air, causing the air to explode.

"This can be considered the beginner level of the Six Kings Spear, but the output is not up to standard." After stretching her body, she jumped off the bed. Bai Aina's beautiful eyes, like jewels, were now shining like stars, clear and bright, as if electricity was generated in an empty room.

It's a really good feeling. This principle of gathering power and then expanding and exploding seems applicable to many things. Bai Aina understood that this principle is the transformation of stillness and movement, using this process to allow power to achieve explosive growth.

Let me see, here's the list of next attempts... Taking out a palm-sized notebook, Bai Aina flipped through the entries, which recorded the projects for perfect biological body modification. Apart from the already completed Core Formation, there were quite a few other projects.

Next... is it a magnetic field rotation? Bai Aina's eyes widened as she recalled her battle with Batman and couldn't help but feel excited.

Well, now that I've finally become a perfect being, I have to try this kind of thing... Although it's not necessary to do this, Bai Aina still sat down cross-legged, placing her hands on her knees, looking like she was practicing a proper breathing exercise.

She completely dispersed her mind, merging it with her body, her thoughts touching every organ. Although she couldn't achieve so-called introspection, Baina could still feel the rhythm of her body.

Having experienced the elixir of immortality and the return of life, she became more adept at this practice of dispersing her spirit into her body. Baina felt as if her body had become a vast theater, within which her bodily tissues were staging an opera that never ceased.

The beating of her heart, the flow of her blood, the functioning of her nerves—everything in her body was under her control. She could even sense the smallest details of her body. Bai Aina understood how miraculous her body was, yet how insurmountable its limits were.

Is it not feasible for now? Let's put aside bio-computers, bio-lasers, and bio-thermal cannons for now… Compared to these, we could try complete physical modification. Simple blood is no longer sufficient for my goals; we should replace them with something more efficient. Bai Aina steadied herself and began to focus on the true objective of this experiment.

That is to imitate the 'electric propulsion' used by humans in the world of "Sea Tiger", which is the prerequisite for 'magnetic field rotation'. Perhaps 'electric propulsion' can be said to be simple and ordinary, but 'magnetic field rotation' is an extremely powerful system.

Whether it's the magnetic field lock that restricts and interferes with the thoughts and powers of others, the anti-gravity flight that traverses the starry sky and crosses galaxies, the atomic control that arbitrarily distorts matter and life from the microscopic level, or even the decomposition of itself into particles or even quark-level antimatter and dark elements, it can be arbitrarily recombined and attacked.

Based on my limited understanding, which is that of someone who hasn't read "The Holy King," I can say this: Magnetic Field Rotation is the strongest form of Vanre! Without a doubt!

In short, we've strayed from the topic. While magnetic field rotation has many advantages, the underlying principle of 'electric current propulsion' is incredibly simple. It involves using willpower to rub the body's cells at high speed, generating positive and negative electrical currents.

Hmm... that sounds pretty simple, and it's something Bai Aina can do. As a perfect being, she possesses cellular-level physical control. Although she can't do some of the more illegal things yet, modifying her own body tissues and transforming into other plants or animals is a piece of cake. Controlling her cells with willpower is also not impossible.

Sinking her mind into the depths of her body, the superficial sensory perception of her organs was no longer enough to satisfy Bai Aina's needs. Her spirit became increasingly thin, as if it were spreading out and dispersing into a vast group of cells, sensing their existence.

You can feel the smallest, most basic structures that make up the body, flowing with the blood and active with the functioning of the organs.

Now, the main event begins. As if an invisible hand were manipulating the cells in her body, Bai Aina used her mind to visualize and drive her cells to act at the pace she desired.

Accelerate! Accelerate again! Don't stop! Is this all? Is this already the limit?! Don't be ridiculous! Get moving! The rapidly functioning cells were operating at an overloaded speed. Under Bai Aina's guidance, positive and negative electrodes were deliberately formed. She could already feel that success was just around the corner.

"Power—you f***ing bastard, come out here!" However, Bai Aina wasn't a character from the Hong Kong comic book world, so her words didn't have any magical effect. Instead, the cells she controlled were damaged by the external force generated by high-speed friction, causing their cell membranes and cell walls to be destroyed and instantly die, affecting several of her body organs as well.

"Nonsense! How is that possible! This isn't like a Hong Kong comic at all!" Bai Aina couldn't help but complain after her first failed experiment. She had long thought the principle of electric current propulsion was utter nonsense, and she hadn't held out much hope for success.

There is still a possibility of trying; perhaps we could consider strengthening the rigidity of cells. For example, the cell membranes of animal organs are relatively fragile and easily broken, while plants and microorganisms have relatively strong cell walls composed of cellulose and hemicellulose.

If the cells can hold out until the triboelectric current is generated, maybe it will succeed. Although it still feels like a lot of hard work... and what if Batman used a magnetic field lock on me, preventing me from entering the electric-driven state...?

I wrote down all these thoughts with a pen, and time slipped away little by little amidst the 'rustling' sound of the pen.

Chapter Seven Troubles

After descending from Mount Everest, Baina hitched a ride on a passenger plane to the south. The climate there was warm, and the food suited her tastes better. Since she would be staying in this ordinary world for another month, it would be best to find a comfortable place to stay.

For a perfect being, finding a place to live in the city couldn't be easier. Flesh buds and money... well, Baina didn't have any money. She was just playing the role of a Robin Hood-like thief, helping a commoner like herself.

Sitting in her cheap rented room, listening to the noise, Bai Aina, whose five senses are far beyond those of ordinary people, could hear the couple in the next room talking about love, and could also hear two elderly people downstairs discussing what kind of porridge they wanted to have for dinner. Meanwhile, a family upstairs seemed to be arguing over trivial matters, smashing things with a loud crash.

"Never mind, let's go out and find something to eat." She stood up, arranged the table and chairs around her, and changed into a pure black tracksuit. Putting on her headphones, she took out a small device, no bigger than the palm of her hand, and pressed the play button on her old-fashioned MP3 player.

First, the brass section played a high-pitched and solemn main melody like military music, accompanied by a string ensemble of drums and cymbals. As the uplifting song played, Bai Aina looked at everything in front of her and couldn't help but hum along with the melody.

Yes... no matter what, the sun still rises. A smile involuntarily crept onto her lips as Bai Aina strode into the crowd.

She was surrounded by lives just like herself, but... was that really the case? Watching the people heading towards their destination, Baina suddenly had a very strange feeling... weren't these people just bread to her?

Yes, they look just like her, yet they have nothing in common, neither physically nor mentally… Baina’s thoughts drifted, like a butterfly that has nowhere to go.

The streets and city before her seemed etched into her DNA, giving Bai Aina a familiar sense of warmth, though she couldn't quite put her finger on why. The intricate network of alleys felt like a maze, but the girl, who no longer got lost, had made a point of walking through it before arriving.

In a daze, Bai Aina walked into a restaurant. The simple decor was unremarkable, and the tables were spotless, without a trace of grease... That's how it appeared, but Superman's five senses could clearly smell the unmistakable stench of lard, which was unbearable and unacceptable.

The various flavors are mixed together, like a hodgepodge of everything in a pot, making you want to vomit just from the smell.

No, no, I'll go crazy if this continues... Rubbing her temples, listening to the uplifting music echoing in her ears, trying to calm her restless mind, Bai Aina managed to compose herself, her expression becoming somewhat unnatural.

"Hello, are you here for a meal?" A gentle female voice pulled Bai Aina back from her reverie. The young girl, wearing a white apron, looked at her somewhat nervously. "Excuse me, are you alright?"

"I...I'm fine, don't worry." Squinting to adjust her senses, Bai Aina forced a somewhat unnatural smile. "Let me see...please bring me a braised pork knuckle rice, with a braised egg. Then a radish omelet, and a bowl of beef offal soup with cilantro. Let me see...and shrimp stir-fried tofu."

After ordering several dishes, the waitress quickly wrote down the names and reported them to the back. Meanwhile, Bai Aina, sitting there, closed her eyes again, opening her senses.

By controlling and adjusting the scent to suit oneself, one can ignore unpleasant smells...

She could smell it! The aroma of finely chopped scallions filling the air! Her eyes lit up, and Bai Aina began to look forward to the meal.

The young man at the next table was playing King of Glory. While eating pork offal, he couldn't help but complain that his teammates were idiots.

Suddenly, a chill ran up his spine, and the young man nervously looked around, his expression becoming uncertain and suspicious.

"..." After sizing up the young man, Bai Aina finally sighed. It really wouldn't work; she had to resort to this inefficient method.

A perfect being can self-repair at an extremely rapid pace and possesses an astonishingly high energy storage capacity, but this doesn't mean she can create energy out of thin air. Therefore, replenishing her consumed energy is not an easy task for Baina.

Eating is a choice, and humans... happen to be one of the choices on the perfect biological diet.

Indeed, eating people would be a much more efficient way to replenish energy than eating like this. But... that would be absolutely disgusting. Bai Aina couldn't even imagine what it would feel like to have the genitals of other humans transformed into energy and absorbed into her own body. Just thinking about it was so disgusting that she felt like throwing up on the spot and couldn't even eat.

Even if it were purely for replenishing energy, Bai Aina would rather eat energy bars as a meal than eat people.

I don't know how long it will take for the energy bars I ordered online to arrive. Besides that, Bai Aina also commissioned quite a few things from the factory. Although she won't need them, she'll wear them anyway, just for the sake of looking good and as a keepsake.

Soon, the food that Bai Aina had ordered was served, which made her eyes light up. She quickly took out her chopsticks and started eating.

The preserved radish sandwiched between the egg has a chewy texture and a subtle crunch, and the pickled radish also has a salty taste.
