Chapter 500: Chapter 28: The Effect of Sudden Enlightenment and the White Ball Clan_2
Confirming the effect, Wang Sheng used the cooling period to cultivate every day, with the rest of his time devoted to researching solutions for the barrier.
He wasn’t worried about lacking materials.
As time passed, the special constitutions of the Human Race might not have increased much, but more and more of the Spirit Clan were awakening to their talents, and these talented individuals, if they were outstanding enough, would be sent to Datong College to study the Spirit Path.
Wang Sheng didn’t even have to look for them himself.
The establishment of Datong College was more helpful to him than he had anticipated.
A college is indeed one of the gathering places for talent.
Wang Sheng’s research progress was also steadily increasing.
In the year 2019, May,
Wang Sheng once again faced a predicament.
“Spirit and body do not always have clearly separate paths and won’t encounter the situation I’m in. Just as I suspected earlier, ‘erasing’ cannot be done in the true physical sense. Instead, spirit and body must completely merge to naturally disappear. This kind of ‘erasing’ is the real solution to the problem.”
“Although I’ve made some gains these past few years, the Inner Core Skill is too overbearing. Even if I’m not sacrificing my body and Qi-Blood, my progress in body and Qi-Blood cultivation is minimal compared to the Inner Core Skill.”
“I’m just a bit short. If only I could find a case of a body and spirit being independent yet able to merge harmoniously, I might temporarily solve the issue…”
His research had not been without findings.
After enlightenment occurred, his research advanced by leaps and bounds.
But now, even enlightenment couldn’t completely solve the problem; he encountered a bottleneck.
Without a case study, enlightenment was as difficult as cooking without rice.
Of course, according to his guess, if he used enlightenment, he might find a solution, but it would take much longer.
“Special constitutions are rare, making it difficult to find someone who meets my requirements. However, the Spirit Clan is now awakening to their talents on a large scale. Although clan talents tend to be uniform, there’s no shortage of different Spirit Clan groups. Perhaps one will emerge with a talent that meets my requirements… If not, I’ll have to resort to the dumbest method!”
There are two paths, both capable of solving the problem, the difference is only in speed.
There is always a way!
The Spirit Clan, the White Ball Clan.
This group isn’t particularly strong within the Spirit Clan, but it can be said to be one of the cutest concentrated groups among them.
They resemble fluffy, round toys, both in appearance and to the touch.
Many of this group have integrated into the Human Race, surviving by their appearances to deceive for food and drink.
Initially, the Spirit Clan Elders didn’t pay much attention to this group.
That changed when they awakened their talents.
“Interesting, they can turn into a white gas when attacked, and many methods seem ineffective against them…” Wang Sheng noticed the White Ball Clan.
However, he didn’t come to know of their existence directly.
Talents appeared within the Spirit Clan, some strong, some weak, all quite unique. People noticed these talents and summoned willing members of the Spirit Clan to coordinate, leading to numerous research papers on Spirit Clan talents appearing on the market.
Datong College conducted even more of such research.
Many members of the Spirit Clan, eager to develop their talents, volunteered for research projects.
Occasionally, Wang Sheng would read these research articles, hoping to gain insights through analogy.
After this particular talent emerged within the White Ball Clan, someone conducted research and penned a “research paper,” which Wang Sheng stumbled upon while reviewing materials.
Perhaps due to limitations in strength, the researcher couldn’t determine exactly how the White Ball Clan accomplished this feat.
Nevertheless, they speculated methods to attack the gaseous form of the White Ball Clan.
[First test, second test… four tests in total, employing approaches from Qi-Blood Martial Arts, Body Cultivation… Spirit Path, and other methods of assault, none of which were effective. However, after my research, it seems there are four methods of attack, but if classified properly, there are actually only three, or even two—spirit methods and energy methods.
Neither method could actually strike the White Ball Clan. What if the two methods could be resolved together?
Fifth test… to prove there’s no true method of merging spirit and energy. Test result pending until a real combination method emerges in the future.
Researcher: Li Xueqian — Analysis of energy starting from the White Ball Clan]
The article was written by an acquaintance.
Wang Sheng had paid attention to Li Xueqian before.
At the time of Datong College’s inauguration, he believed Li Xueqian might truly advance technology.
Over ten years had passed without much attention from him, and no breakthrough had emerged as far as he knew. He thought Li Xueqian had become just another face in the crowd, but it seemed that was not the case.
The mere existence of this article was not something an ordinary person could have written.
“To be able to distinguish between the paths of spiritual cultivation and Qi Blood Martial Arts is somewhat impressive. The White Ball Clan, huh? Maybe it’s worth taking a look.”
He would devote a lot of effort to anything related to the spirit and the body.
It wasn’t long before he learned of a group from the White Ball Clan. After their talents had awakened, some with high spiritual cultivation talents had come to Datong College to train. They had recently been admitted through special recruitment, which was why Wang Sheng hadn’t studied them yet, having instead seen an article from nearly three months ago.
The White Ball Clan’s talent for defense was invincible, but they possessed no combat power.
They were typically regarded as mascots.
This group from the White Ball Clan was huddled together, feasting, their entire rotund bodies almost buried in their bowls.
They had strength too, and with Wang Sheng making no attempt at concealment, a Grandmaster level member of the White Ball Clan instantly sensed someone approaching.
“Who’s there?”
“I mean no harm, but I have a matter that requires the assistance of your White Ball Clan!” Wang Sheng stated his purpose directly.
The Grandmaster level White Ball looked at Wang Sheng, feeling as though he had seen him somewhere before but just couldn’t remember.
However, the matter of requesting the help of their White Ball Clan…
“You must be here for our talents, right? Give it up. Even the finest professor at the Mechanical Department of Datong College hasn’t figured it out. You’ll do even worse!”
“Who knows if we don’t try?” Wang Sheng didn’t argue.
“Why so stubborn? Fine, we can cooperate, but you’ll have to give us compensation.” Clearly, the White Ball Clan was not averse to the matter, but just as clearly, there would be an additional cost.
“Okay, how about resources for cultivation?”
Wang Sheng took out a Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Pill.
He had already researched the Spirit Path, and the Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Pill was indeed something he could use.
Upon seeing the Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Pill, the Grandmaster level White Ball Clan immediately gave in.
“Fine, we’ll take that. How do you need us to cooperate? Oh, by the way, my name is Bai Yi.”
“You just need to display your innate talent!”
“No problem, but our talent can only be passively displayed. You can try to attack me with any method you like; don’t worry about injuring me.” Bai Yi was very confident in his talent.
Wang Sheng was noncommittal and said, “Is that so?”
He didn’t hesitate, immediately using the God-Slaying Sword, although it was a very weak version of the God-Slaying Sword.
The God-Slaying Sword, which not only slays gods but also the self, was originally a purely spiritual technique. Through Wang Sheng’s enhancement, it became a divine skill that attacked both the body and the spirit.
He wanted to see if it could inflict any damage on the White Ball Clan.
The moment the flying sword appeared, Bai Yi and all the members of the White Ball Clan felt a terrifying pressure.
Death is certain!
In an instant, under that pressure, all of the White Ball Clan turned into white vapor.
Immediately after, the flying sword condensed by Wang Sheng’s Sword Transformation Technique directly struck the vapor.
Swish!
Streaks of blood appeared out of thin air.
The talent of the White Ball Clan was broken!
The attacked Bai Yi was immediately pulled out of his talent state, reverting to his original form, and blood seeped through the white fluff of his body!
“You actually wounded me, who are you?”
Since their talents had awakened, the talent of their clan had never been breached; he was completely unconcerned with his injuries.
This person’s identity must be far from simple.
While the White Ball Clan was peaceful and naive, they were not foolish.
Wang Sheng paid them no mind, and it was only after a few minutes that he came out of his state of sudden enlightenment, then applied a technique to heal Bai Yi’s wounds.
“There’s no need to know who I am. This is your compensation; thank you for your cooperation.”
Wang Sheng handed the Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Pill to Bai Yi.
Although it lasted only a moment, he had indeed found a breakthrough point.
Inspiration was fleeting, and he needed to go back and research!
