The sun and moon are both wrong; who made him seek the Dharma

If the active, deliberate punch doesn't have a cooldown time listed, then it truly doesn't.

Xia Chuan can grow his hair however he wants.

Once you've charged up one shot, you can fire another.

The only difference is that the amount of extra damage dealt varies depending on the length of the charge time.

It takes about one second to build up the momentum and reach the peak 20% damage increase.

As Xia Chuan read the description of "Binding Spirits and Commanding Generals," he felt a surge of excitement.

Based on the system's consistent pattern, this skill probably has no restrictions in the literal sense.

If the other party is a remnant soul or an animal spirit, Xia Chuan can enslave them unconditionally.

The price paid was merely a thirty-day cooling-off period.

This sole limitation is practically nonexistent for Xia Chuan.

Because he has [Black Flash].

Black Flash has a mechanism that refreshes skill cooldowns.

This allows the [Spirit Binding] skill, which originally had a 30-day cooldown, to become a daily skill that can be refreshed in just 15 minutes.

and……

Xia Chuan looked at the pedestrians coming and going in the distance, his face full of surprise:

"This skill can actually be used on living people?"

What are the effects when used on a living person?

After some thought, Xia Chuan ultimately decided to put the idea aside for the time being.

His gaze swept across the street and landed on the rocky hill in the distance.

He has better targets for his spells than living people.

If we can control the opponent, we can definitely win this battle without bloodshed.

Suddenly, a voice from behind interrupted Xia Chuan's thoughts.

"Hey bro, bro."

Xia Chuan turned his head and saw a tall, upright man running towards him.

His face was earnest:

“I saw it all just now.”

"It was you who killed that monster, right?"

Xia Chuan sensed the other party's presence and frowned slightly.

He subtly took a half step back and asked warily, "Who are you?"

The man quickly introduced himself: "My name is Zhao Yan, and I sell noodles around here."

"I was just setting up a stall around here when I unexpectedly encountered that monster."

In desperation, he had no choice but to abandon his stall and flee.

Zhao Yan looked at Xia Chuan, his eyes filled with genuine sincerity:

"Thanks to you, brother, for killing that monster, I was able to get back my livelihood."

"In return, I'd like to make you a clay figurine. I wonder what style you'd like?"

Although Zhao Yan's acting was flawless, Xia Chuan's vigilance immediately went up when he heard the name.

Oh no, why did I get spawned right next to the boss?

He carefully examined the seemingly ordinary man opposite him and made up his mind.

Don't rush, don't rush. Let's play it safe first. What if it's just someone with the same name?

Under no circumstances should he notice anything amiss.

Thinking this, Xia Chuan's expression didn't change.

"Oh, you're so thoughtful."

Xia Chuan smiled slightly, looked at Zhao Yan's stall, and casually pointed to one:

"Then let's go with Pigsy."

"Alright, I'll get right on it."

Zhao Yan nodded quickly and began to sculpt dough figurines with practiced ease.

At the same time, he also carefully observed Xia Chuan.

"This... please forgive my intrusion, but may I ask, sir, are you a seeker of the Dharma?"

"It's the kind of thing in legends, the kind where you seek the magic to become an immortal."

Xia Chuan's heart tightened again.

Oh no, once I asked that question, it turned out that the person on the other end really was Zhao Yan.

Having read the original novel, Xia Chuan was well aware of Zhao Yan's current situation.

Even if he becomes a corpse, Zhao Yan does not want the magic techniques of the Wangchuan Academy to be lost.

Now that the successor of the Three Truths has come knocking on his door, he is quite eager to pass on the skills he acquired before becoming a Dharma Corpse.

Fortunately, this is not a difficult question to answer.

Xia Chuan sighed, his face full of regret: "That's not it."

Zhao Yan was quite surprised: "How could that be?"

He witnessed Xia Chuan massacre the corpse with his own eyes.

That minor supernatural corpse was crushed to death while its physical body remained intact.

This is enough to show how terrifying Xia Chuan's Dharma body is.

With such a high level of Dharma body cultivation, how could he not be a seeker of the Dharma?

Xia Chuan raised an eyebrow and asked, following his words:

Why are you asking this?

Zhao Yan gave an awkward smile: "To be honest..."

"I would also like to become an apprentice and learn skills."

Xia Chuan sighed again: "Then you've come to the wrong person."

“I tried my luck at the sects that recruit disciples before.”

"As a result, they rejected me at the first meeting."

"They said that my internal energy points are sealed and I have no magical power, but I am strong."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yan was taken aback.

Was I using too much force?

A Dharma body large enough to crush a minor supernatural being?

Zhao Yan frowned and secretly used his magic to carefully investigate.

To his astonishment, the other party actually had no magical power within them.

Zhao Yan looked at Xia Chuan's burly figure, feeling a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

Is it really a gifted individual?

Can an ordinary person have such great strength?

While thinking to himself, Zhao Yan's face was full of obsequiousness:

"Is that so?"

I originally thought that with such talent, this young man must be a legendary seeker of the Dharma.

Zhao Yan felt a mixture of regret and relief.

Oh well, it's fine if I can't practice the Dharma.

At least it's clear that this kid can't possibly be a disciple of the Three Truths.

While thinking, Zhao Yan's hands kept moving.

Before long, a lifelike Pigsy appeared in his hand.

"Here, the dough figurine you requested is finished."

Zhao Yan smiled and handed the dough figurine in his hand to Xia Chuan.

However, he subtly touched Xia Chuan's hand bones.

He wanted to make one last confirmation.

Could it be some kind of special cultivation technique?

Or perhaps his innate supernatural powers allowed him to conceal the traces of his cultivation?

In either case, Xia Chuan's age would not be as young as he appears; he would be at least five or six years older.

But the sensation from his fingertips made Zhao Yan raise an eyebrow.

Judging from his bone age, this kid is only around twenty years old?

"???"

Xia Chuan stared in disbelief as Zhao Yan touched the back of his hand with his index finger.

"What are you trying to do?!"

Zhao Yan apologized repeatedly:

"Sorry, sorry, I was just impressed by your imposing physique."

Xia Chuan:? ? ?
