Chapter 006: Recognition Tower

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

The thought in Chen Qian's mind settled, and he saw that the impostor ahead actually moved its shoulder just as Chen Qian had imagined. Following that, the icons and values on its body also underwent subtle changes.

I am already a person who has died, what is there left to worry about

"Breaking the Formation Fist Technique"

He looked back and around, a hint of reluctance flashing in his eyes

As the counterfeiters continued to execute their moves, the Breaking Formation Fist technique was displayed in its entirety, and Chen Qian was astonished to discover that the habits of their movements, the angles of their punches and kicks, and the force applied were all identical to his own

Where is this? The question arose from the depths of his heart, memories unfolded, and in an instant, a multitude of memory fragments flashed through his mind

Swish

Is there no one?

Before me, a hazy white light was rapidly converging, gradually forming a human shape

Good word

At this thought, a flicker of fervor suddenly appeared in Chen Qian's eyes: "If any technique can obtain practical parameters through such detailed analysis, and then based on this conduct sufficient attempts and adjustments, wouldn't it mean that any technique has the potential to achieve the theoretically most perfect and ideal effect?"

Swish

As this thought occurred to him, Chen Qian suddenly turned his head to look at the impostor beside him, and a new idea formed in his mind

With this change in action, more values and icons began to shift on the counterfeit's body, primarily on the right arm, where several glaring red icons flickered at the elbow joint

Recognize the tower

Straightening the back, raising the arms, legs apart, the body begins to move

At the moment these peculiar phenomena appeared, they conveyed a wealth of information to Chen Qian, allowing him to grasp the profound meaning contained within.

No! It is not just that; the same action, with subtle adjustments, can lead to fluctuations in parameters such as lethality, explosiveness, flexibility, and direction of attack, resulting in different effects. What might originally be a powerful punch could, with a slight change, turn into a feint or a distraction

The explosive power and lethality have increased significantly, while the waist and wrists have been warned of potential injury. Similarly, with the same technique of directly striking the heart of the enemy, the lethality produced by this action has improved by at least 20% compared to before

Why are there so many empty bookshelves, and why is there not a speck of dust on them? Clearly, they are regularly wiped clean... Hmm?

Fortunately, Chen Qian remained vigilant at all times, so although the cold gleam of the long sword was sudden, he managed to evade it. He then saw the sword wielder, a person with a stern expression, dressed in a blue straight robe, holding a long sword.

It appears to be a direct punch, yet it consists of three movements and six variations. Simple and straightforward, it has only one purpose: to defeat the enemy

Ah? Chen Qian, who was intently watching, let out a soft exclamation as he sensed some information in his mind. When this punch was thrown, the icon and value representing the force exhibited an anomaly, with the increase differing from before. Could the issue lie here? If the amplitude of the shoulder's swing were to slightly move forward, hmm?

Martial artists must continuously understand and grasp themselves. When executing a movement, under the sensation of the body, one will have a general insight in their mind. It is akin to Chen Qian playing basketball in a past life; once the feel for the ball is there, as soon as the ball is released, the shooter already has a general sense of the outcome without needing to wait for the result.

Huanglong, originating from an ancient anecdote, refers to the capital of a nation. When applied to martial arts, it symbolizes the critical point or key.

The tower was empty, with only rows of vacant bookshelves. Chen Qian tried calling out a couple of times, but there was no response for a long while

If my guess is correct, then... the movements of the shoulders and arms slightly retract, the wrists spring up, while the amplitude of the waist's twisting increases somewhat...

Chen Qian felt a chill in his neck, and before his eyes appeared a flash of blood. The surroundings instantly faded into a blur, spinning and becoming indistinct.

He walked past the illustrated books to pick up the two volumes, looked at the titles, and stood there in a daze

"Gathering Light Adult? Monster?" Upon seeing the scene before him, Chen Qian widened his eyes, but what astonished him even more was yet to come.

Is the seventh step leading to the second level

The person before me was dressed and built exactly like Chen Qian, the only difference being that this person's expression appeared somewhat dull, and there was a slender red mark on the forehead, about half a finger long

Chen Qian got up from the ground, surrounded by a patch of grass. He felt as if he had been in a deep slumber for a very long time. Raising his head to look ahead, he saw a seven-story pagoda.

Isn't this me

At this moment, Chen Qian seemed to have regained the persona of a technological fanatic from his previous life, with a complete eruption of sensitivity and insight towards data

At this thought, Chen Qian gasped in shock, for this speculation was simply too astonishing

This sixth move is aimed directly at the heart of the matter. Every time I execute this technique, I always feel that I cannot fully exert its power. After using this move for a while, it also fails to seamlessly connect with other techniques. Let's see how this fellow performs it.

Chen Qian admired inwardly, yet his doubts remained unabated as he pushed open the door before him and stepped inside

The Chen Family Swordsmanship

Suddenly, the imposter straightened up and struck with a punch, the force of the blow was fierce. However, halfway through the punch, the elbow joint abruptly contracted, and the fist turned, transforming the fierce direct strike into an awkward feint

The intensity and lethality have increased! At this moment, Chen Qian became calm instead. Having lived two lives, Chen Qian has experienced much, and his capacity to accept certain information is significantly stronger than that of ordinary people. After overcoming his initial surprise, he has now settled into a state of calm.

A flash of light appeared before him, and Chen Qian quickly stepped back while simultaneously calming his mind and remaining vigilant. Since entering this tower, he had been on high alert.

What is going on here? Have I crossed over again into a fantasy world of immortals and heroes?

The higher the cultivation level, the more accurate the insights become. With rich experience, one can adjust the cultivation methods based on these insights, continuously refining the techniques to better suit oneself. Those with exceptional comprehension can draw parallels and create internal and external practices that are even more suitable for themselves

After walking just a few steps, he arrived in front of the pagoda gate. The tower appeared magnificent, yet the gate walls were rather unadorned, giving off a sense of simplicity

The same applies to martial arts; once the feeling is there, one can even spontaneously adjust the flaws in one's stance and movements

Recalling the last fragment in his memory, Chen Qian immediately lifted his clothing at the chest, but saw no wounds.

At this thought, Chen Qian felt a surge of emotions, and his thirst for knowledge in martial arts instantly peaked. He wished he could immediately analyze and simulate all the martial arts techniques in the world. However, as soon as this thought arose, it was extinguished in an instant, leaving Chen Qian feeling as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him.

The space on this level is quite large. After passing through rows of empty bookshelves, Chen Qian finally arrived at the central area and saw a set of steps.

The entity before me, composed of light, transmits the parameters of each movement and technique when performing its skills. I can directly alter these movements through my consciousness to obtain new parameter feedback. The more I attempt, the deeper my understanding of a technique becomes

At that moment

After a peculiar sound, numerous circles, arrows, and numerical values suddenly appeared on the body of the impostor who was throwing punches

Seeing his stance, Chen Qian's surprise in his heart was somewhat calmed: "The first move of the Breaking Formation Fist, gathering strength and waiting to strike! Could it be..." Chen Qian said as he lowered his head to look at the small booklet in his hand

The figure gradually took shape, becoming increasingly clear, as the radiance around it dissipated, revealing a form resembling that of an ordinary person. However, this figure left Chen Qian utterly astonished.

A cold light approached head-on

Thinking of this, Chen Qian, who was in the library, felt extremely distressed. It was akin to a famished person suddenly seeing a table full of delicacies, only to realize upon rushing over that there was a layer of tempered glass separating them, allowing for sight but not for taste.

Upon seeing the steps, Chen Qian ascended without hesitation, taking a step forward and placing his foot on the first step

Indeed. Chen Qian, however, wore an excited expression, "Although the pressure on the elbow joint is significant, with my current physical condition, performing it three times would injure the bones, but at least this proves my idea—"

Directly striking the heart, it refers to targeting the crux of the matter, it is a lethal move

As the first thought concluded, the impostor in front of him indeed changed its movements as Chen Qian had anticipated. The values representing force and amplitude also underwent significant changes, while a red indicator flashed at both the waist and wrist.

With a single punch, strike directly at the heart of the matter

I had been stuck at the second level of the mortal realm because of my insensitivity to myself. However, no matter how sensitive a martial artist may be, it is impossible to throw a punch and immediately know the exact force, the extent of the movement, the amount of explosive power used, the lethality, and whether there is any damage to one's own body.

As the doubts in his heart grew increasingly intense, Chen Qian suddenly spotted two thin booklets on a shelf, which stood out remarkably amidst the empty rows of bookshelves

"How could it be these two books? These two types of martial arts are precisely the two sets of inferior external skills that I have practiced before?" A cloud of doubt arose in his heart as Chen Qian casually opened the book "Breaking the Formation Fist Technique"

As soon as Chen Qiannian's thoughts settled, the impostor not far away executed the sixth move

When something unusual occurs, there must be something amiss. Chen Qian naturally would not let his guard down. He carefully strolled through, scanning his surroundings, his gaze sweeping over row after row of bookshelves, observing attentively.

A sword pierces through the chest and back

Hello!

This imposter, or rather, this simulacrum, is capable of providing me with precise numerical feedback on any technique in the form of https://m.hetushu.com.com

Upon reaching this thought, Chen Qian slightly narrowed his eyes, raised his hand, and attempted to imitate the other party's actions for insight, while simultaneously thinking rapidly in his mind.

The levels of energy accumulation, explosive power, and lethality—what exactly is this... As he contemplated various indicators, Chen felt a jolt in his heart, faintly forming a guess, but he immediately shook his head, "No! This is impossible!"

Mo Lu! How did you come to be here! Chen Qian had only met this person a few times, but the impression was absolutely profound; the sword that pierced through his chest in the end was thrown by this person

I had forgotten that apart from the empty bookshelves surrounding me, there were only two inferior martial arts manuals left. They claim to analyze all the martial arts in the world, yet I do not even know where I am at this moment

These two characters exhibit a fluidity akin to a dragon and snake in motion, evoking a sense of imminent flight beyond the confines of the plaque

He still felt that it would take at least half a stick of incense to reach there. How could it be that he had only taken two steps and arrived? Chen Qian felt suspicious in his heart, and then he looked up. On the gate of the tower, there was a plaque with two large characters inscribed on it.

Although Chen Qian does not understand calligraphy, all things in the world are interconnected. When martial arts practice reaches a certain level, there is a concept of martial spirit, which refers to the will and spirituality that do not rely on external factors and persist in the world. Similarly, in the realm of calligraphy, there is also the notion of writing with divine inspiration and achieving a spiritual essence.

Beep beep beep

Amid Chen Qian's astonishment, the "imposter" took further action

The feeling of unwillingness in his heart grew more intense, and Chen Qian could no longer stand still. He ignored the simulation figure beside him that was continuously throwing punches and quickly began to run around, wanting to ascertain whether there were any people present here.

As Chen Qian's mind was in turmoil, Mo Lu opposite him brandished his long sword horizontally

What is going on? Is this the afterlife? Apart from the tower before me, there are no signs of human presence, no mountains or rivers, only grass that barely reaches my knees. Chen Qian gazed at the distant pagoda, filled with doubt, then pondered for a moment before stepping forward
