Chapter 24: Am I too perverted?

  （0024）

  Xia Xingxiao had originally hoped that the operation of over a hundred skills would definitely exceed the limits of what the bead could withstand. Best case scenario, the bead would be forced to shut down on the spot and cease functioning. However, what left him disappointed was that after more than half a day's time had passed, there wasn't the slightest sign of interference between the various martial skills, let alone any conflicts or deviations.

  It's as if under the control of a mysterious great hand, various different internal energy true airs automatically and consciously travel through different meridians, and are completely unrelated to other types of internal energy true airs. Basically, each internal energy heart method has its own independent meridian and external communication. Each qi sea is operating at high load, with no idle phenomenon at all.

  To be precise, including the Easy Tendon Classic, Xia Xingxiao had instilled in himself thirty-three different inner strength mind methods. His body had opened up thirty-three qi seas. All of this was automatically operated by the mysterious pearl and had almost nothing to do with him. However, he could completely feel the entire process of opening up his qi seas.

  In the First Epoch, Grandmaster Chen Xin created the Multiple Dantian Cultivation Method. From then on, human martial arts cultivation took a broad and smooth path. Opening up more dantians allows for the cultivation of more different internal skills, accumulation of more internal energy, display of more martial skills, and avoidance of deviation from the proper path. The numerous benefits bring great rewards to cultivators.

  Multiple Dantians greatly enhance the cultivator's defensive capabilities. With multiple Dantians located in different positions, true energy can be mobilized nearby, and once attacked, the reaction of multiple Dantians is obviously faster than that of a single Dantian. After humans enter the Starry Sky World, they rely on the flow of true energy from multiple Dantians to defend against the invasion of variant energies from between the stars.

  In the vastness of space, danger lurks everywhere. Compared to those monsters in outer space, the human body is indeed too fragile. Not to mention various cosmic rays, meteorites, storms, and black holes, even just cosmic dust can pose a lethal threat to humans. Those invisible dust particles, when moving at high speed, have a power no less than that of a bullet.

  A practitioner must form a layer of invisible true energy protective cover outside their body to avoid being injured by these cosmic dusts. This true energy protective cover must be constantly circulating at all times. Therefore, the burden on the dantian is actually quite heavy. Usually, there's nothing wrong, but once entering an intense battle, it may become impossible to take care of, having the heart but not the strength. The final conclusion drawn by practitioners is that only by opening up multiple dantians can the burden be alleviated.

  After several epochs of reproduction, humans continued to improve and develop the multi-Qi Hai cultivation method based on Chen Xin's foundation. In theory, as many acupoints as there are in the human body, that many Qi Hais can be opened up. No matter how small an acupoint is, it can form a Qi Hai.

  Of course, considering the specific location and function of the acupoint, practitioners generally open up the Qihai at major acupoints. Especially the human body's major fatal points. Once these fatal points are opened as Qihai, they no longer pose a mortal danger. Because any external attack will be met with a strong counterattack from the Qihai, and the fatal point is no longer fatal.

  Xia Xingxiao's Qihai position is also within this category. In addition to the Dan Tian Qihai, all of his body's main dead spots have been opened up as new Qihai. Including the head, chest, shoulders, back and legs' main acupoints. Thirty-three Qihai, exactly covering his entire body. Basically, in any direction of his body, there is one or more Qihai present, fundamentally without any defensive loopholes.

  Such a layout also makes Xia Xingxiao particularly quick when displaying his skills. The true energy is almost all shot out through the shortest meridian. His body also has no dead angle that can be attacked and cannot counterattack. Even if others launch a sneak attack from behind him, he can make a move directly from the back of the Qihai, suddenly killing the opponent beyond expectation.

  To put it bluntly, the current Xia Xingxiao is a super monster fully armed to the teeth. No matter from which angle or direction, he can attack at any time. At the same time, no matter from which angle or direction, he can also receive attacks simultaneously.

  Even if the enemy launches a sneak attack from under his feet, he can open up the bloody sea in the Surging Spring Cave and directly counterattack. A strike of Ice Profound Energy can freeze the opponent directly, or a single Thousand Catty Fall can crush the opponent alive.

  If the enemy is from above, it's even simpler. The Baihui acupoint, Shenting acupoint, Chengguang acupoint, and Chengling acupoint on his head will immediately counterattack. There is no need to move a hand, Mingyu Gong, Ha Ma Gong, Yanyang Qi Gong, Huashi Shen Gong, etc., will all start at the same time. While withstanding the opponent's attack, a sharp counterattack can also be carried out.

  A dense distribution of Qi, while making certain martial arts skills exceptionally powerful. For example, the Golden Bell Cover and the Diamond Body Skill. The basic principle of these protective martial arts is to cover the entire body with energy through the meridians throughout the body, thereby blocking external attacks. Before the true Qi of the protective body is shattered, it cannot cause harm to the practitioner themselves.

  In the era of single Qi Hai, due to the varying lengths and positions of the meridians, the distribution of true energy naturally has its strengths and weaknesses. In the intense fighting process, there will inevitably be some loopholes. If this loophole is hit by the enemy, the consequences will be very serious. This is what is called a "leak". The leak in Jin Zhong Zhao's technique is very obvious, and many people have lost their lives because of it.

  However, at this moment, Xia Xingxiao's body was full of Qihai. The Indestructible Golden Body skill could draw true energy from each Qihai, so there was no situation where a certain place would be particularly weak. Even in the most intense battles, it could effectively protect the entire body. In other words, the weaknesses on his body simply did not exist.

  Due to the rapid reaction speed of the true energy, when attacked, the nearby dantian will also be activated in response, working at full capacity to neutralize the incoming energy. The function of the dantian is certainly not comparable to that of the meridians. If the meridians are rivers, then the dantian is the ocean. Can the energy of the ocean be compared to that of a river? Therefore, it can be said that due to the dense distribution of the dantian, the effect of the Golden Bell Cover has been increased by at least tenfold.

  Perhaps Xia Xingxiao's current body is like a miniature Zhuo Ka, with a powerful energy shield covering its surface. Unless the energy shield is shattered, it is impossible to harm his body. However, shattering the energy shield is no easy task. One must know that in order to shatter the energy shield, one must first exhaust the true energy of the thirty-three Qi seas, making it unable to provide energy for the shield. I'm afraid there are only a few people who can achieve this.

  Among the thirty-three Qi Seas, Xia Xinghe can use one or several Qi Seas to exert his martial skills and attack his opponent. The other Qi Seas, however, frantically absorb the heavenly and earthly Yuan Qi from all directions to replenish the lost True Qi. If the concentration of heavenly and earthly Yuan Qi around him is sufficient, his True Qi will never be in danger of depletion. Even if there is no heavenly and earthly Yuan Qi around him, it would take a prolonged tug-of-war to deplete all thirty-three of his Qi Seas.

  Of course, if it's a super master, he can explode Xia Xingxiao with one punch, and all his dantians won't have time to react. But if he encounters such a master, Xia Xingxiao will definitely slip away without a trace. He's not an idiot, encountering such a master and still not running, is he looking for death?

  The densely packed Qi Hai all over the body, in addition to the surprising enhancement of the Golden Indestructible Body Technique, is also a great help for flight techniques. This doesn't need detailed explanation. From one jet engine to thirty-three jet engines, who do you think would be faster?

  Even if Xia Xing didn't quite understand martial arts training, and didn't know how to measure the strength of martial arts skills, at this moment, he couldn't help but ask himself in a low voice: "Am I too strong, too abnormal?"

  ……

  Thirty-three Qi Seas were activated at the same time, all frantically absorbing the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi. The Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi around Xia Xinghe was quickly absorbed dry. Fortunately, deep in the cave, there was still a large amount of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi stored. As soon as one side was absorbed, the other side would immediately replenish it, so it wouldn't be lacking. And the newly replenished Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi seemed to be even more dense.

  Obviously, this mysterious bead is still effectively controlling the operation of various skills, without any errors. To be honest, so many internal skill formulas, so many different types of internal skill true energy, even if controlled by the human brain, may not be able to achieve such orderliness and organization. It can be seen that the ability of this bead is incredibly powerful.

  Xia Xingxiao had enough reason to suspect that this pearl must have contained some kind of powerful high-tech. Perhaps it was a unique computer CPU? Or perhaps it was a high-performance data processing chip? Or perhaps it was simply an intelligent life form? Unfortunately, no matter what method he used, he couldn't pry into the secret of the pearl.

  What's even stranger is that every time Xiaoxiao closes his eyes, a series of mysterious paintings appear before him. These mysterious paintings are actually the cultivation of various fist and foot skills. The figures in the painting are none other than Xiaoxiao himself.

  They seemed to be in a strange space, constantly practicing some kind of fist and foot skills. They were like Xia Xingxiao's avatars, and when they practiced, Xia Xingxiao himself could feel it as if he was the one practicing. Dozens of avatars practicing at the same time, the scene was magnificent, the impression was profound.

  Although it was not Xia Xingxiao who personally practiced with his own hands, he also did not know where that mysterious space was. However, every time the characters in the painting completed a set of exercises, Xia Xingxiao would feel that his understanding of that skill had deepened by several degrees.
