Under One Person: Starting with the Dual Cultivation of Body and Soul.

That feeling wasn't numbness or endurance, but rather a near-absolute sense of control over oneself.

He suddenly remembered what his senior brother had said during the last competition.

Pain is just a thought; once the thought arises and you see it, let it go.

He thought he understood at the time, but now he realizes he's still far from it.

I need to learn from my senior!

Lu Lin thought to herself.

This cycle.

This continued for dozens of times.

In these dozens of tearing and rebuilding processes, Li Chang'an, in his intermediate state, clearly saw...

Initially, after the five current levels were stacked three times, they could easily tear a hole.

Later on, tearing became increasingly difficult.

The intensity of the current remains unchanged, but the resilience of the Qi-based structure is increasing.

The crack, which was initially obvious, became a fine line that required careful observation to detect, and then turned into a fleeting glimmer of light.

In the end, when Lu Jin pressed the fifth gear again, he was horrified to find that the high-voltage current that was originally able to tear open Li Chang'an's reverse regeneration state could only carbonize his skin, but could no longer tear open his reverse regeneration structure.

“This is…” Lu Jin was stunned, somewhat unable to believe it.

Chapter 103 Huge Upgrade

"Continue, sir!"

Li Chang'an said.

Lu Jin realized what was happening and quickly tried again.

The result remains the same.

Li Chang'an's reversal state has adapted to this intensity of current and will no longer be torn apart.

Lu Jin's eyes widened: "It really has become stronger."

Although he had suspected it beforehand, he was still so excited that he trembled when he witnessed it with his own eyes.

We've found the way forward.

In truth, Lu Jin has been in a state of dormancy for far too long at his current level.

It's not that he's too mediocre to improve, but that he's afraid to.

He feared that if he failed to pass the test, the lineage of the Sanyi Sect would be cut off.

He was also afraid that if he failed to pass the test, he would never be able to take revenge, so he kept staying in the same place.

But now, Sany not only has successors, but he also sees a direction to move forward.

"Master!"

Lu Jin recalled that figure in white, as pure as snow, and her eyes reddened, tears streaming down her face.

Li Chang'an calmed his inner energy, and the intense white light in his eyes gradually subsided. Then he saw Lu Jin crying there.

He paused for a moment, then blurted out:

"Grandpa, why are you crying? I'm not dead yet."

Lu Jin, who was immersed in past emotions, was so choked by these words that she almost fainted.

He raised his sleeve, wiped his face haphazardly a couple of times, and said irritably:

"What do you mean by 'dying'? Pshaw, you jinx! I'm just crying tears of joy, you know what I mean?"

Lu Lin realized what was happening and quickly walked over to Li Chang'an, removing the conductive patches from his hands and feet.

When the patch is removed, it makes a few slight crackling sounds, which is the release of residual static electricity into the air.

"Senior brother, how are you feeling?" Lu Lin asked with concern.

Lu Jin also came over, her gaze sweeping over Li Chang'an several times:

"How are you feeling? Is there anything that's bothering you?"

Li Chang'an savored the experience and said, "Well, the first two gears felt pretty comfortable, like a massage."

"But it gets tough afterwards. It's like your whole body is being repeatedly forged on an anvil, and you have to fight against it and keep recovering."

"When this forging reaches a critical point, the reverse state will be torn apart, and after it is rebuilt, the reverse state will be a little tighter than before."

Li Chang'an thought for a moment and described it as, "It's not that it's become thicker, but that it's become denser. In the original structure, there were some tiny gaps and loose places."

"In this process of tearing and reorganization, these loose parts and gaps will be filled. After many repetitions, my regeneration has taken another step forward. The current can no longer tear it apart."

After listening, Lu Jin frowned and fell into deep thought.

Lu Lin didn't think too much about it; he was more concerned about something else:

"Senior brother, such a strong electric current just now entered your body. Your body surface can recover through Qi transformation, but what about your internal organs?"

"The first level of Reverse Rebirth can only transform the Qi into the skin and flesh; it can't protect the internal organs. Won't there be some damage?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin also looked at him. This was no joke.

Li Chang'an said, "Of course there will be damage. Such a strong current passes directly through the internal organs; cardiac arrest would be the least of the problems."

“Then you…” Lu Jin and Lu Lin’s hearts jumped instantly.

"However, I have a way to deal with it."

The two were stunned for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Jin: "Can you not just finish what you were saying all at once?"

Lu Lin: "Can you please stop breathing so heavily when you speak?"

Then, the two spoke almost simultaneously:

What are the possible solutions?

Li Chang'an explained, "I just gathered my Qi around the internal organs and created a cage-like structure that completely envelops the heart, lungs, liver, spleen, and other internal organs."

"That's it?" Lu Jin asked in surprise.

Lu Lin was also puzzled: "Your physical body, which you can transform into Qi, can't withstand it, but after your internal organs are reinforced with a layer of Qi, you can resist it?"

Li Chang'an said, "This is not resistance, but rather a kind of force deflection. When the current comes in, it will only travel along the outer wall of the Qi and will not penetrate into the internal organs. Simply put, I used Qi to create a 'Faraday cage' inside my body."

"Faraday cage?"

This answer left Lu Jin and Lu Lin looking at each other in astonishment.

As cultured people, they certainly know what a Faraday cage is.

That's basic common sense that's taught in junior high school physics textbooks.

"It can be used like this?" Lu Lin was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped. Science could actually be applied to metaphysical cultivation?

"You've got a sharp mind, kid!" Lu Jin laughed loudly.

This made him think of his master again.

Back then, Master instructed his senior brother Dongshan to open a school at the foot of the mountain to teach his disciples various subjects, including physics, chemistry, and foreign languages.

At that time, many people in the sect felt that learning those dry Western knowledge was meaningless, and it would be better to learn more classic texts on spiritual practice.

In the end, it was the master who overruled everyone's objections and forced them to learn.

At the time, he didn't quite understand either.

But now, looking at it this way, Master was indeed farsighted; look how useful that has become!

"Senior brother, to simultaneously weave a Faraday cage within your body using Qi under the impact of high-voltage current, maintain a reverse-life state to resist the current's attack, and rebuild it after the reverse-life state is torn apart, this operation is too difficult! It's more than just multitasking. Is there any trick to it?"

Lu Lin looked at Li Chang'an with expectant eyes.

Li Chang'an looked at Lu Lin, pondered for a moment, and said:

"The trick is actually quite simple. You just need to calm down first, then divide your Qi into two streams. One stream is used to protect your internal organs, and the other stream is used to maintain the regeneration of the body surface. Then, just make sure that these two streams of Qi do not interfere with each other."

"As for rebuilding the reverse life..."

“After the reverse life state is torn apart, you continue to maintain the original flow of Qi, do not retract it, and at the same time, circulate another stream of Qi from the back of the Gen (艮) to continue to circulate Qi and build up the reverse life state.”

"The two go one after the other without interfering with each other until the former is returned to the back. If it is torn to pieces again, just repeat the above steps."

After hearing this, Lu Lin looked at him speechlessly.

Lu Jin, who was standing next to him, also twitched his lips a few times.

"Senior brother..."

Lu Lin said expressionlessly, "What's the difference between this trick you're talking about and 'how to put an elephant in a refrigerator'?"

Lu Lin counted on her fingers, mimicking Li Chang'an's tone:

"The first step is to open the refrigerator door."

"The second step is to put the elephant inside."

"The third step is to close the refrigerator door."

"Right?"

Seeing Lu Lin's distraught state, Lu Jin laughed and patted Lu Lin's shoulder, saying:

"Lin'er, that's how cultivation is. The principles are often very simple, there aren't that many tricks. Just hone your basic skills."

Lu Lin could only nod in resignation.

Lu Jin then looked at Li Chang'an: "After the reverse-generation enhancement, how much has your self-improvement been? How far are you from reaching the second level?"

Li Chang'an said, "There's still some distance to go before reaching the second level. But this improvement is significant; we'll have to go out and test it out to find out the exact amount."

"Let's go to the back mountain!"

Lu Jin wasn't in a hurry to refine his body and quickly said...

Lu Lin echoed this sentiment. In his eyes, this kind of training was not something to be proud of; it was like getting a dressing changed at the proctology department—he didn't look forward to it being his turn anytime soon.

The three quickly arrived at the back of the mountain.

Li Chang'an walked to the front of his cave dwelling.

After he broke the "door" to the cave last time, he brought over a new boulder.

Because he moved it so often, he was very familiar with the weight of the boulder, making it the perfect tool for testing.

Li Chang'an wrapped his arms around the boulder, lifted it to his chest, and weighed it in his hands.

The boulder tumbled through the air, only to be caught by him with effortless ease, as if he were bouncing a giant balloon.

Lu Lin stared blankly. He could actually lift such a huge rock, but he needed to get into the right posture, focus his energy in his dantian, and coordinate his waist and stance to lift it.

In short, it's not easy, let alone for someone like Li Chang'an who's just messing around like this.

Therefore, he mostly used pushing to enter and exit the cave and move the boulders.

“Grandpa, even though I’ve seen it several times, I still have to say, Senior Brother Chang’an is really strong!” Lu Lin said.

Lu Jin nodded and said, "Indeed, normally speaking, even a newcomer to the second level of Ni Sheng is not as strong as him."

After bouncing around for a while, Li Chang'an tried to remove his left hand and support himself with only his right hand. At first, his center of gravity swayed slightly, but he quickly regained his balance and lifted himself up a few times with one hand.

"It's definitely easier than before, and my strength has increased by a little over 20%."

Upon drawing a conclusion, Li Chang'an moved his mind, and white qi flowed through his arm. He exerted force with his five fingers, and his fingertips dug into the hard granite as if cutting tofu.

With a single arm raised, a massive boulder weighing thousands of pounds flew into the air with a whooshing sound.

Li Chang'an pushed off with his feet, leaping into the air and instantly catching up with the boulder in mid-air. He twisted his waist and swept his right leg out like a battle axe.

"boom!"

The boulder was kicked in mid-air, shattering into countless fragments that rained down like a storm.

This scene made Lu Lin swallow hard: "If that kick landed on someone, it would probably hurt a lot."
