Chapter 351 - Gojira (1/2)
A/N (Really long so if you are not interested in the thought factor of this world, then skip right down.): Hey guys, it's your scummy boy! This note is written to finally discuss why I ended up using the Soul Land cultivation system instead of TDG (Tales of demons and gods) cultivation system.
For those of you who have not read TDG, the cultivation system allows an ordinary fighter to become a demon spiritualist of the following ranks— bronze, silver, gold, black gold, and legendary. Each demon spiritualist can absorb a demon core and get ahold of the demon beast's essence to take on their form. My decision to make Shen Xiu's martial spirit a Scarlet Flaming Fox.
The canon cultivation system is quite cool, but Nei Li's existence made it hard for anyone to breathe easily. He is primarily a three-hundred-year-old man child with psychotic tendencies and obsessive behavior. The cultivation system in itself is also quite loose and allows quite a bit of variation. This, combined with the fact that Nei Li has a vast pool of experience makes it hard for anyone in this world to compete with him unless the opponent has an equal advantage, that is, knowledge of the plot and a golden finger that is less restrictive than Transmigration Paradise. (Shout-out to— Chado_Sama's How Much for Your Soul? It is an excellent novel with proper execution on how to deal with Nei Li properly.
Now, the cultivation system of Soul Land is quite restrictive, and since it is the base foundation of this arc, I won't delve into it much. But with this change itself, the potency of Nei Li's future knowledge is restricted only to alchemy, inscriptions, and the future plot alongside a few martial techniques. In essence, he does not have a cheat in his cultivation itself, like in the canon.
With that said, I wish to clear out a few complaints regarding Battle Arts. If you think that this is the highest form of this skill, then you are wrong, I will only say that. While I thought of turning this skill into the trigger that allows Nik to gain ultra instinct in the later stages, I have decided on something else now. This also brings the concept of insights into my mind. This concept is shamefully taken from TomVanDyke's Paragon of Destruction. If you wish to enjoy sweet, sweet words regarding training and satisfactory breakthroughs, then give that novel a go, too.
Now, if you read till this much, I would like to thank you and bless your spirit with another satisfactory (Hopefully?) chapter.

”You look ravishing,” Nik now knew that Xiu only reveled in compliments of candor and did not entertain any modest praise. She did not even dress to receive humble recognition. Her luscious body was covered in a green qipao with a deep cut for neck and cleavage with the edges and the collar embroidered in gold, making her olive-tinged skin stand out while her seductive gaze made use of the thigh split of the dress to its highest potential.
”And you look unusual,” Xiu remarked as she noted Nik's covered arms, outlining the musculature of his arms. He looked decent than usual, and the thought that she felt slightly reluctant to be unable to observe his veiny forearm made her feel refreshed. Frustration, it was still, but refreshing nonetheless.
”I'll take that as a compliment,” Nik smiled. Astonishingly, Xiu fell silent before whispering softly, ”It was meant a compliment.”
Nik observed Xiu from the corner of his eyes as the two walked out of the teacher's block and made their way towards their classroom. Needless to say, the two attracted multiple pairs of eyes, but the order of their superior made them unable to gaze at the two for long!
”What should we do?” Xiu opened up, ”This conference was your idea, so, explain it to me. What should we speak with parents?”
”The same thing the kids won't understand,” Nik sighed softly, ”Nurturing a process best committed under the guidance of parents. They need to learn the truths of the requirements of their kids and modify their schedule to fit the needs of the children.”
”Parents changing themselves for kids?”
Xiu frowned at the thought as the Student's block was already in the view, ”Why not?” Nik countered, ”If you can't take care of them, don't create more, right?”
He smiled, ”What I mean to say is, the parents need to know that their kids have the potential. And the little turds do have potential, but they are also required to find the direction in which this talent can be used more efficiently, like Bi Ding, she has a high ability in the art of alchemy, but the institute is not allowed to teach the subject.
By now, under the guidance of the Alchemist Association, she may have achieved wonders.”
”Alchemy is not easy.”
Xiu flipped the left lock of hair back and snorted.
”Well, all I am saying is, no need to crush their hopes and dreams.”
Nik smiled, knowing fully well how disastrous Xiu's words are.
”I'll try not to,” Xiu remarked drily as the duo finally reached their classroom. In a few minutes, the two were already visited by a mother.

”Hey,” Gojira sniffed as she walked alongside Ryu'er and let her palm fall on the top of her head, ”Your scent is getting heavier,” the toned woman spoke with amusement lacing her voice. Gojira wore her usual outfit. A coarse tunic to cover her assets. Honestly, even in these fifteen years, Gojira barely restrained her habit of tearing her clothes and then living her life 'commando' style. Alas, a mighty behemoth capable of snacking on her dragon of a mate, she was not. And right now, even the puny, self-delusional men held the strength to force their bodies on her should she spread her scent.
