Chapter 160: Traditional Combat is Really Great!_2
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
“Jing is quiet and introverted, facing such an environment, it’s really too dangerous…”
“Had I known earlier, I should have taken her to train in traditional combat with me…”
Xiang Hui felt regret in his heart.
Parents had died in an accident a year ago, and he had been depending on each other with his sister since then.
He’d rather be in danger himself than let anything happen to his sister.
Xiang Hui, anxious, felt as if time was dragging on interminably, so much so that he even failed to notice the Ashen Girl who had landed atop the shopping mall.
Just as the twenty-four-hour countdown hit zero.
Outside the mall’s main entrance, a pitch-black abyssal rift burst open.
This meant that Xiang Jing had successfully cleared the basic trial and completed the return!
Xiang Hui, joyful at heart, looked on with the crowd.
Before their eyes, a two-meter-tall, blood-drenched muscle giant silently fell from the rift and thudded onto the ground with a bang.
The scene fell utterly silent.
Xiang Hui stared dumbfounded at the familiar yet demure face on the neck of the muscle giant, noting blood rapidly evaporating from it, feeling an uncanny sense of unfamiliarity.
“Jing?”
Upon hearing the voice, the muscle giant looked over, awkwardly and shyly lowering her head as her form swiftly shrank down to a petite girl’s body.
“Brother…”
Though Xiang Jing had returned to her familiar form.
The image of her ragged appearance remained imprinted in everyone’s minds from just moments before.
The shock was simply too profound.
Only Zero swiftly descended, transforming fingers into tendrils and pulling a garment from inside the mall, draping it over Xiang Jing.
At the same time, she asked in a sprightly tone.
“Physique Enhancement Talent?”
“Yes, thank you…”
Xiang Jing nodded slightly, looking at the Ashen Girl before her, and couldn’t help asking.
“You are…?”
“Zero is the Master’s Mecha, equipped with an intelligent module, which is why I can move freely.”
The Master that Zero referred to was, of course, beyond question.
Having been through the basic trial, Xiang Jing entirely understood the meaning of a module, but after the realization, she couldn’t help feeling ashamed and lowered her head.
She knew of her talent before the basic trial.
She could transform into another form to gain Mecha attribute enhancements.
Too embarrassed to tell the Master, she kept it to herself.
“I’m sorry, I promised the Master I would become a Mecha pilot, and now I…”
“It’s okay.”
Zero patted Xiang Jing on the shoulder, smiling.
“The Master is also a Mecha Pilot with Physique Enhancement talent.”
“The power of Mecha is far inferior to the Master’s strength.”
“If the Master knew about your talent, he would be very happy!”
“Really?”
Xiang Jing lifted her head joyfully, breathing a sigh of relief.
Then she heard Zero say,
“The Master is currently summarizing the inheritance of traditional combat, creating ultimate martial arts techniques.”
“After you rest a bit, do you want to come with Zero to see the Master?”
“He’ll be very happy to see you.”
“Yes!”
Xiang Jing nodded vigorously.
In the distance, a young man lapsed into a long silence.
My name is Xiang Hui. I never imagined that my sister would ultimately become a Mecha Pilot.
Just as Zero had said.
When she brought Xiang Jing and the other rookie Mecha Pilots before Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen indeed felt a great surprise.
Not because of Xiang Jing’s [Physique Type Talent], but because she earned an SSS-class rating in the basic trial
According to Xiang Jing, her talent is “Berserk Absorption.”
She can briefly absorb a mecha into her body, exhibiting a berserk stance and unleashing attributes and powers several times over.
The base is double, and for every rank increase in the mecha’s quality, the multiplier increases by one.
In Jiang Chen’s view, just with this talent alone acquiring an SSS-class rating would be no problem at all.
However, since she can only absorb one mecha, not all, there’s a lower cap.
Even if she absorbed a flawless-grade mecha, the base strength enhancement would only be five times.
In such a situation, only if Xiang Jing was 1st Rank and against all odds managed to forge a Supercharged Mecha, stacking its properties to over ten thousand, would she have the possibility to cross the abyss.
Well, that’s just wishful thinking.
Without crossing the abyss, Supercharge Modules are far too rare.
Even a bunch of SSS-class ratings put together wouldn’t be able to assemble a Supercharged Mecha—
The basic trial rewards only a 0th Rank Supercharge Core; how to assemble with part conflicts?
“Drew an SSR on the first try, too bad it’s not a UR…”
“Well, it’ll do. If I can’t become a beacon of hope, I might as well become the hope of those beacons like the big shots.”
Out of the first batch of mecha pilots, Xiang Jing was undoubtedly the one with the highest talent and strongest capabilities.
As long as she could grow without meeting an early end, she would certainly become one of the earliest supremes in the Earth Cataclysm world.
And in a world built on absolute power, the temperament of a supreme can significantly influence the rules of the entire world—
Just like the civilizations of Fire Plunderers and Fire Transmitters.
Could it really be that there’s not even one empathetic individual within the evil Fire Plunderer civilization?
Could there be no one in the kind Fire Transmitter civilization who wants to plunder resources to strengthen themselves?
Of course not.
It’s just that under the system of the Abyss Rune, the beacons of hope, as the strongest of the civilization, can totally dominate the entire civilization, suppressing all dissidence.
If the beacon of a civilization doesn’t choose the right successor when passing the torch…
Then the roles of Fire Transmitter and Fire Plunderer might well change.
Therefore, Jiang Chen kept Xiang Jing by his side, teaching her mecha pilot related experiences while imparting newly researched traditional secret combat techniques.
And quietly observing her disposition.
The results were quite satisfactory.
The only downside was although she was outwardly gentle and inwardly tough, she lacked a bit of Li Xiao’s kind of dominance.
To put it plainly, a high school girl who’d lost her parents and depended on her brother for survival couldn’t possibly be all that dominating.
“We’ll see what fate has in store.”
“I can only stay here for ten days at the most, I can only leave behind a spark.”
“Whether the civilization can ignite that spark and produce its beacon of hope is not for me to decide.”
“Even if Xiang Jing’s character is good…
“If the beacon of hope that emerges is a bloodthirsty bravo, a slaughter seed that even the abyss monsters call a master.”
“What can I do then?”
It was at this moment that Jiang Chen finally understood why Senior Yano, when he first appeared on Planet Blue Star, only resolved the disaster.
He didn’t engage much with the civilization of Blue Star, didn’t leave behind much knowledge, just provided some information about the Abyss Rune and then left.
He had probably seen the rise and fall of civilizations and knew too well the fickleness of the human heart.
For the civilization of Fire Transmitters, which he cherished, he naturally showed extra care and benevolence.
If it were a civilization that might head down the path of Fire Plunderers, Senior Yano’s attitude would likely not be the same.
Jiang Chen, after practicing the arts of various traditional combat schools, quickly summarized a set of techniques called “Muscle Combat Warrior,” which included inner strength training and martial maneuvers.
This “Muscle Combat Warrior” technique could not only be taught to local martial artists.
As the creator, Jiang Chen could also bring out its full effects.
Especially with the boost from Weapons Master, he could compress all his Inner Strength and release it in one go, amplifying his power to deliver a strike with 1.5 times the strength!
It might not seem like much, but consider the comparison between Jiang Chen’s physical strength and Inner Strength!
His physical strength had already exceeded 130,000, so an additional ten percent would be over ten thousand extra points!
And he had cultivated his Inner Strength for just one day!
This was an enhancement brought about purely by his own cultivation, without absorbing mecha abilities!
“Moreover, with the excess computing power of my superbrain at the moment, there’s no need to stop and practice; my Inner Strength will operate automatically, refining Life Force Energy, strengthening my being.”
“Which means I’m growing my Inner Strength every moment and getting stronger all the time!”
Jiang Chen, feeling the power running autonomously inside him, couldn’t help but smile.
Compared to super ability gene technology, this was the true system that could offer him assistance!
Traditional combat is just fantastic!
