Vol 22 Chapter 2-2 (2/2)

Not long before, Yingkong had privately asked Xuan how she could exhibit the power of the personality in her subconscious. With that power, her strength would instantly rise ten folds, or even more. This power was what she needed the most now. However, she had only received a few sentences in response.

“Unlock a higher genetic constraint. The higher the genetic constraint, the more you and your main personality will merge, until you two become one. You might directly breakthrough to the mid-fourth stage then. If that’s so, could creating an opposite, second personality be a good way of overcoming the heart’s devil?”

That had been Xuan’s response then. He then started being engrossed in his own things and started researching something. The unresigned Yingkong could only leave the basement, still not knowing how to unleash all the power in her body, just like before. 

The rest of the team rushed out from Xuan’s room just as Yingkong froze. Zheng then received a full body repair as well. Xuan and him were suspended in the air, Zheng only slowly descending after ten minutes. Xuan was healed for almost half an hour, a length of time hitherto unseen.

Although the two’s wounds were fully healed, they still remained unconscious. The energy waves released during the instant of Foundation Establishment were too powerful. It was the energy emitted by the Magic Cannon, and although it wasn’t in full, it wasn’t something two people could resist. Now, their mental energy was depleted too much, causing them to pass out even though their physical bodies were fully repaired.

Zheng only woke up on the afternoon of the third day. Even before his eyes opened, his body already told him the world was different.

It was an indescribable feeling. As if his eyes could inherently see it, his ears could inherently hear it and his tongue could inherently taste it, he could sense the boundless energy in the world. It was a truly mysterious and profound feeling. He wouldn’t have been able to describe how he could sense this energy, where it was, and in what way it existed. The feeling of the energy in the surroundings was akin to how colour couldn’t be described.

As Zheng gradually became clear-headed, this feeling that the surroundings were full of energy gradually dulled. It was as if the world had returned to normal when he opened his eyes. It was only that the Refined Qi and Magic were more distinct than ever before, as if they were a part of his body. The two energies moved in accordance to his will, no longer as jerky as before.

Zheng was delighted that he could freely control Refined Qi and Magic within his body. However, he only played around for a few seconds, before immediately remembering how that fellow Xuan had almost died during his Foundation Establishment! He immediately looked around at his surroundings.

This was the room Lori and him stayed in. He was the only one lying on the bed at this moment. Without thinking about it, Zheng dressed himself with the clothes on the bed and jumped off the bed. As he opened the door, the first thing he saw was a huge group of people eating hot pot in the living room outside the door, everyone eating until they were red in the face. When Zheng came out, everyone turned around and the area immediately went quiet, with only the sound of hot pot boiling.

“You’re awake?” Pleasantly surprised, Lori leapt into Zheng’s embrace.

Zheng hugged Lori. He comfortingly patted her head, before anxiously asking everyone, “Is that fellow Xuan fine?”

Everyone nodded, with Cheng Xiao immediately laughing, “Haha, relax. That fellow is Doraemon, he won’t die so easily. He’s probably having some wet dreams now, hahaha…”

(You’re talking about yourself, right?) This thought formed in the heads of many present, but the queries they had for Zheng now was slightly more. 

Heng was the first to open his mouth to ask, “Zheng, was your Foundation Establishment successful? How about it? Can you control Refined Qi and Magic?”

Zheng sighed in relief when he heard Xuan was fine. He smiled at Heng. “I haven’t tested the effects yet, but so far, I seem to be able to control Refined Qi and Magic. Alright, we’ll test the power of Foundation Establishment in the basement after eating!”

Foundation Establishment was just the initial phase of Cultivation. It was like the training of Qi, when you could first sense Qi. It was insignificant, and only slightly better than an ordinary human. It was still effective for strengthening the body however. For facing against an enemy, unless you relied on your body to fight, there wasn’t really any Cultivation aspect to combat.

But Zheng’s circumstances were different. He didn’t rely on Cultivation techniques to battle. To him, Cultivation techniques were merely to familiarise his own personal moves and combat techniques. His true power still lay in Explosion, Destruction and Chaos, Genesis Splitter. Be it physical techniques or magic techniques, they could all be terrifying when pursued to the pinnacle.

When everyone had finished eating, Zheng went with everyone to the basement. There was a platform made of a metal alloy. This was where he usually practiced. Currently, he was standing alone on the platform, shutting his eyes tight to sense the Refined Qi and Magic within his body.

“Explosion and Destruction rely on Qi and Blood Energy. They don’t use Refined Qi and Blood Energy, so we’ll first test this move that is produced from Refined Qi and Magic!”

Zheng considered, then immediately separated a strand each of Refined Qi and Magic towards his two palms. He restricted the flow of these two energies, only having an iota of the two energies interact at the centre of his palms. In a moment, a small ball of light, the size of an apple, with intense brightness appeared in his palm. However, it didn’t explode like in Independence Day. This was because one, he could already control Refined Qi and Magic, and two, he could separate out only an iota of the energies while using infinitesimal control. When the two fused, this ball of light similar to the Magic Cannon’s energy actually peacefully existed.

Holding in his hand, Zheng slammed the light ball into the ground, With a loud bang, the light ball actually didn’t produce any explosion, only releasing a horrifying force when it came in contact with the ground. Fortunately, this force was under Zheng’s control of Refined Qi and Magic. When it smashed into the ground, a cloud of dust and metal rose from the ground. When the dust and metal settled, everyone far off saw that the metal ground had caved in, forming a giant hole over thirty metres in diameter. Zheng stood there unharmed, only blanking looking at his two hands.

“Good! If I can use this ability that is a lower tier of Chaos… My clone! I finally have the power to fight you!”
