Chapter 24
I probably have some talent…
Looking at the lines of text appearing on the blue light screen, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but have this thought flashing through his mind.
Martial talent is divided into two types.
One is aptitude, which relates to the speed of cultivation. There are many ways to test it, the simplest being bone examination.
Some sects even set up “test steles” that can present a warrior’s aptitude in a relatively clear way.
The second is comprehension.
Unlike aptitude, comprehension cannot be seen or touched; it is only manifested during the study of martial arts.
Some people can quickly comprehend a martial art, but the cultivation speed is terrifyingly slow.
It is a typical case of high comprehension but low aptitude.
It’s like the brain confidently saying: “I got it!”
While the body says, “You’re full of it!”
“Counting this time, it’s the third time already.”
Lin Yuan muttered to himself.
Integrating the Intense Yang Saber Technique and the Great Sun Demon Suppression Saber Technique, he comprehended the Great Sun Demon Suppression Saber Technique.
With the Tiger Demon Body Refining Technique, he first mistakenly comprehended the erroneous version of the Tiger Demon Transformation Technique, then self-corrected to understand the brand-new Tiger Demon Body Tempering True Technique.
The Golden Body Technique is still the Golden Body Technique for now.
But looking at the last sentence, it seems like it can also evolve…
Of course.
This is related to spending a decade or more immersed in a martial art.
But if the comprehension is not enough, even ten years is just treading water, let alone a hundred years.
The simulator just skips the cultivation time, fundamentally, everything is based on Lin Yuan himself. If the cultivation speed is slow due to the aptitude, there’s no reason to attribute the comprehension to the simulator.
In essence, it all depends on one’s efforts!
“My cultivation is still stagnant…”
Looking at his cultivation that is still at the True Gang Realm Eightfold Sky, Lin Yuan was speechless.
Although he has not been able to break through the limit, he can feel that his physical body has become much stronger than before.
Especially in terms of defense, there has been a huge improvement!
“The True Gang martial arts are actually starting to feel insufficient for me. For now, it’s fine, but once I breakthrough into the Jade Liquid Realm, the progress may decrease significantly…”
Lin Yuan’s eyes glittered.
To put it this way,
Suppose a martial artist has extremely high aptitude, progressing at an extraordinary pace, but if the martial art they are practicing is True Gang, then throughout their life, they can only break through the Jade Liquid Realm. To advance to the Post-Aurora Realm after that is almost impossible!
Unless, they can obtain a martial art of the Jade Liquid Realm or a higher level, whether self-created or through other sources, they must have it.
Why is the world of martial arts divided based on martial realm?
That’s the reason.
“Simulated lifespan is still too little….”
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
The gains from this trip to Black Mountain were not small, but unfortunately, they did not find more demonic creatures.
Any intelligent beings have a sense of avoiding danger, with the Lingsheng Sect causing trouble, those who could run away have probably fled, and those who couldn’t likely became the followers of Lingsheng Sect as food.
On the side,
Ji Ling’s clear eyes wandered, occasionally lingering on Lin Yuan, silently sighing.
No wonder he was strong at such a young age. He just arrived home and immediately took out martial art manuals to study and started practicing.
Talents work hard too. Why wouldn’t they succeed?
“Older Brother, Sister Ji, the tea is here!”
At this moment, Lin Xianyu’s clear and tender voice rang out.
She walked in with a tray, swiftly preparing to pour tea and water.
“I’ll do it myself!”
Ji Ling quickly stood up.
“Don’t, Sister Ji, you’re a guest. How can I let you do the work?”
Lin Xianyu pushed her seriously, set up cups in front of Lin Yuan and her, poured tea, and smiled slightly shyly, “Sister Ji, it’s just simple tea and water, please don’t mind.”
“How could I!” Ji Ling liked Lin Xianyu more as she looked at her.
Cute appearance, lovable, and so sensible…
She couldn’t help but think of her lawless younger siblings at home, feeling a bit down suddenly, truly, no comparison means no hurt!
“Let’s eat first.”
Lin Yuan tidied up the Golden Body Technique and spoke.
“Sure! I’ll go get some utensils!”
Lin Xianyu quickly brought three sets of utensils from the kitchen, along with a few plates, poured the side dishes Lin Yuan brought into them.
“These five roast chickens….”
She looked at Lin Yuan, with a puzzled look in her clear eyes, “Brother, are we going to eat all of these?”
“I’ll have three, you guys can deal with the rest.”
Lin Yuan casually said.
At his words, Lin Xianyu slightly widened her eyes, while Ji Ling next to her found it normal.
Warriors need a lot of food for energy replenishment, fasting is nonsense, he’s not cultivating immortality.
In the world of martial arts, the stronger the warrior, the greater the appetite.
Of course.
Many high-level warriors don’t eat common food anymore because it’s hard to supply their needs, often relying on the meat of bred demon beasts as their primary food source.
“I…..one is enough for me.”
Ji Ling said a bit embarrassed.
“…Oh, fine.”
Lin Xianyu looked at Ji Ling’s slender figure, a bit puzzled. She couldn’t understand how she couldn’t even finish half, yet two chicken legs would make her full.
The last roast chicken was placed in front of her.
Lin Xianyu ate the food absentmindedly, her eyes slightly unfocused.
“Xiao Yu, is the food not to your liking?”
Lin Yuan suddenly spoke.
“No, no, it’s delicious.” Lin Xianyu came back to herself, quickly shaking her head, “It’s just…I don’t have much of an appetite today.”
“Do you need a doctor?”
“No!” Lin Xianyu’s voice unconsciously rose, seeing two pairs of eyes on her, she whispered again, “It’s probably just a bit of a cold. I’ll rest and be fine.”
“Alright, then you go rest in your room.”
Lin Yuan looked at her, smiling, “Take some food with you so you don’t get hungry in the middle of the night.”
A hint of joy flashed in Lin Xianyu’s eyes, but she remained composed, “Okay, then Brother, Sister Ji, I’ll go back to my room first, you guys enjoy your meal!”
“Go on, rest well!”
Ji Ling smiled as she watched her leave.
“Okay!”
Lin Xianyu nodded heavily, took a roast chicken and a box of peach blossom pastries, got up and left the table to her room.
She waited until she heard the soft closing of the door.
Then Ji Ling lowered her voice and said mysteriously, “Young Master Lin, have you noticed that your sister seems a bit off?”
“Really?”
Lin Yuan finished three roast chickens like a whirlwind, his speed was astonishing. When he put a chicken leg in his mouth, it would come out as a bone, leaving Ji Ling stunned.
He wiped his mouth with a damp cloth.
“I don’t think so.”
Lin Yuan said indifferently.
“Rest early.”
Lin Yuan stood up and turned back to his room.
“Is that so?”
Leaving Ji Ling sitting with a confused expression.
With Lin Yuan’s strength, his perception should be sharper, there’s no way he wouldn’t notice…could it be that she’s just overly stressed and creating hallucinations?
