Book 2 Chapter 27: One Mind As Two

“This first stage is the power of Absolute zero. This second stage is the manifestation of the white lotus. Combine it is the first phase of the nuclear Fusion. You cannot have stage one without two since you will self implode without the power to release the energy. Your mother actually came up with this second stage but sadly she never did get to test it out. Come fight me and see how powerful this technique is.”

Lintian could feel the overbearing pressure coming from that white lotus but every cell in his body felt excited by the challenge. He felt the scorching cold heat coming from those two lotus.

Lintian body explodes with power from the master realm. The void sword appears in his hand. Black flames erupts from his body. Noticing the black flames Lintian controls it to cover the edge of the sword.

Lintian was quite surprise since this was the first time he actually consciously control this flame. Originally he was just releasing his qi but somehow the black flames came forth.

Mhmm. These black flame actually follows my thoughts pretty precisely Lintian thought to himself.

Lintian bother with spell formations since he can never compete with Harris in that field. Lintian just simply activated a couple formations that enhance speed and body strength.

Whoosh!

Lintian disappears from his original spot and the void sword flashes forward like the waning moon.

A white lotus emerges from the area that Lintian’s sword was going to hit. A metal on metal sound screeches out followed by an explosion.

Lintian slides backward. The white lotus was still spinning in the air. Lintian’s face frowned. This lotus’s power was actually quite strong. In that one exchange Lintian notices that the white flames actually snuffed out his black flames. In Lintian’s defense this was the first time he used the black flames.

The two flame lotuses flew into the air and began to spin like a top while spitting out fire balls.

Lintian used his Emperor’s step and Dancing Moonlight martial art technique to dodge all those fire balls. The problem came after Lintian realizes that Harris switch from focus fire to random fire making his Dancing moonlight skill useless.

Thanks to Lintian’s nimble movements he managed to dodge all this fireballs. Lintian then swings out his void sword sending out a wave of black flames. Due to the large quantity of black flames the white flames were not able to snuff it out in one attack.

Once more Lintian managed to close in upon Harris as his void sword surge forth again.

Clang!

A white sword suddenly emerges in Harris’s hand as he blocks Lintian’s void sword.

Lintian could see that Harris was still completely calm. Not a single flutter of emotion could be detected on his face. From the looks of things Harris wasn’t even trying.

Lintian’s sword attack’s speed increases exponentially. If anyone was to see Lintian’s they would be a bit surprise because the level of Lintian’s comprehension of the sword was almost at the level of one with the sword. The levels of understanding could be classified into 8 different comprehension levels. Initial, well-versed, mastery, one with the sword, Truth, one with the world, creation, and finally Dao domain.

Normally one would reach the Dao domain level at the Ancestor Realm. They will only be a bit surprise since a lot of geniuses would reach the truth level by age fifteen if they start practicing the sword by 10. What they don’t know is that Lintian has only practice the way of the sword for three years.

As Lintian’s sword speed increases and the angle of attacks becomes more profound Harris could not help but smile in his heart because through this battle Lintian’s growth rate just became exponential. All the experiences that Lintian accumulated during their adventure, and learning were now being fused, adapted, and applied.

Lintian on the other felt that just using one sword felt limited. There were many combinations he wanted to try out. While his right arm wields the void sword his left arm felt empty like a piece of him was missing. It felt like his left arm was just sitting there.

He didn't feel this way before but ever since Lintian broke through to the Master realm he felt that his soul was weaker but somehow stronger. The strength of the soul was reduce by a half but its’ efficiency has more than tripled. His soul was at the stage where one mind is two. Meaning he can divide his mind into two. Basically speaking he can draw two complicated simultaneously one with the left hand and one with the right hand. For normal humans trying to draw a square with the left hand and a circle with his right is already a challenge but for Lintian due to his soul’s improvement in efficiency if he tried to draw two different pictures simultaneously it would be as easy as walking.

Right now every single time Lintian sees an opening his left hand would form a sword through the armament of a thousand transformation martial skill. Except his comprehension of the skill was still too weak and the formed sword only has power equivalent to a stage three Master realm attack. Furthermore the strength and power the White Lotus that Harris formed was equal to a King’s realm cultivator.

Lintian attack keeps on getting stronger and stronger. Every minute that passed Lintian’s body would get more adapted to the gravity and his attack strength would increase. If before his attack strength was at the same level as a stage 6 master realm expert then by new it has reached the 7th or 8th stage. This was due to his comprehension of the past experience in the training of his void sword.

Harris on the other hand was just happy and excited for Lintian’s growth. He has not even once tried to attack for real. He was adjusting his strength to the perfect level for Lintian to surpass in every attack. In a way he is guiding Lintian’s growth right now.

Lintian on the hand was growing more flabbergasted by the second. How is he able to keep up? My Dragon eyes are able to see his movements clearly and I have been able to adjust every single one of my attacks to his weakest points but he is still able to effortlessly defend. Is his cultivation really limited to the Martial realm?

If this is the way it is I’ll up my strength then, Lintian thought and half his mind went into his Dantian and fuse his two extra dantian to his original.

Lintian’s strength quickly rises from stage one to stage three.

Harris wasn’t that surprise since he already knew Lintian’s ability to raise his strength by one stage. Harris quickly increase his battle strength too.

Lintian’s eyebrows creased together. Even with the increase in strength Harris was still one level stronger. Furthermore it looks like he was still holding back. Lintian also noticed that Harris was guiding him. Harris was just giving Lintian enough sense of danger where Lintian cannot lose focus or else he will be injured.

Furthermore Lintian can endure pain but it doesn’t mean that he likes pain like some psycho. So he tried his best to keep up and surpass Harris. With the increase in strength Lintian was able to try out even stronger combination but it was all for nothing since Harris was like a bottomless abyss to the current Lintian.

Lintian decided not to just depend on his sword attacks and cultivation anymore and instead activated stage one of the Divine Lightning Body God’s Art. Lightning surges through every single one of his veins and meridian points.

Boom! Lintian’s speed increase by 15 times his normal speed or 3 times his maximum speed. Lintian knew that he would only able to maintain this speed for approximately 10 seconds.

Strangely enough Harris was still able to keep up. He felt Lintian’s surge in elemental qi and acted accordingly.

In a single second with they were exchanging about 30 moves before but they are now exchanging over 90 moves a second.

10 seconds passed and Lintian’s speed reduced back to his normal speed. By this point Lintian jumps a couple feet back to get his equilibrium back. Lintian was breathing heavily and that technique just now took a huge toll on him. Imagine the difference between jogging 200 meters and sprinting at maximum speed. Right now Lintian not only sprinted at maximum speed for 200 meters but compressed all his energy into completing 200 meters in the fast time possible. In other words Lintian took all his energy and compressed it to be use for a duration of 10 seconds. Which allows him to increase his body potential power 15 times.

The sad reality that Lintian didn't understand was while Harris’s cultivation may have been suppressed to a mere Martial realm cultivator, but his experience and body was still a Heaven Realm cultivator. Therefore in terms of speed, reflects, strength, and mental agility Harris was still vastly superior to Lintian. Not only that but the nuclear fusion technique gave him energy that is equivalent to a King’s realm cultivator of the second realm. With all these combined Lintian battle strength was equal to a baby going against a full grown healthy adult.

“Not bad, not bad,” Harris praised. “Even if you're not able to beat a king Realm expert you would still be able to escape.”

Lintian was still gasping and catching his breath. “How were you able to keep up?”

“The white lotus that you saw earlier is a combination of your qi and my qi. About 100 years ago were able to quantify qi. Right now it takes 4 moles of external qi and one mole of internal qi combined to create one pure yin yang qi. This lotus qi is made of yin yang qi thats why you felt that it was hot and cold.”

“Oh,” Lintian replies still breathing heavily like he was on the verge of collapsing.

“The downside is the danger that this technique creates if you mess up. If it is not fused right the external qi that you absorbed would wreak havoc on your internal organs. It is like invited a hungry wolf into a cage full of lambs with no way for you to control the wolf.”

“Oh. If there is a phase one is there a phase two? Because from the looks of it just have phase one already look like a complete martial art skill,” Lintian asks while breathing deeply to catch his breath.

“No,” Dr. Harris replies as he releases his Nuclear Fusion qi into the air. “This is only the beginning. Right now this is just raw energy.”
