Chapter 59 Double Mark
If you don't take what Heaven offers, you will suffer the consequences!
Chang Yuan has external cheat codes and spiritual energy to protect him; these are gifts from fate.
Praise the fool.
It was Mr. Ke Miao who taught him the truth that "every gift of fate has a price already secretly marked on it."
If one cannot rely on the abundant resources bestowed by fate to obtain an extraordinary mark when breaking through to the extraordinary realm, then one has failed to live up to the blessings of fate.
Those who fail to appreciate the gifts of fate will inevitably be devoured by misfortune in the trials that follow.
Chang Yuan is the kind of person who never lacks courage in crucial moments.
He muttered thanks to "The Fool" under his breath, focusing intently on searching for the largest and most violent energy storm in the sea of energy.
The Sea of Vital Energy belongs to a world of idealism, where focused will and unwavering spirit can alter all rules.
Chang Yuan wanted to find the strongest and biggest storm; his focus and perseverance distorted even the concept of time.
It seemed like a long time had passed, or perhaps it was just a moment.
He then saw the enormous storm he desired.
This storm was so vast that its entirety was difficult to observe, and so powerful that it easily destroyed and drove away all other storms, creating a windless zone at its own edge.
That's it!
Chang Yuan didn't hesitate and rushed straight in to accept the baptism of the strongest storm.
The strongest storm was indeed different. As soon as he crossed the windless zone, Chang Yuan was directly swept into it and was involuntarily spun around and flew towards the heart of the storm.
As they get closer to the center, the energy storm intensifies its tearing effect on their spirits.
Chang Yuan felt as if he were being slowly sliced to pieces, not cut with a sharp knife, but torn apart by his bare hands.
As the spirit is torn apart, the spiritual energy restores it a little, leaving traces of the storm on the spirit. This cycle repeats endlessly.
The pain is indescribable!
But a person in pure spirit cannot faint, so Chang Yuan could only scream desperately to vent the pain caused by the excruciating pain.
Unfortunately, his screams were drowned out by the storm, and he couldn't even hear them himself.
After enduring the slow, agonizing pain for an unknown period of time, Chang Yuan suddenly noticed that the healing process was accelerating.
No, it's not that the healing speed has increased, but rather that his mind has been branded with the Storm Mark, which greatly reduces the damage he suffers due to the similarity in attributes.
He succeeded!
According to Master Chen Ang's teachings, after breaking through the physical body and releasing the spirit, those with extraordinary talents can successfully obtain the extraordinary mark. The biggest taboo is being greedy.
If the spirit cannot be withdrawn in time, other energy storms will imprint a second characteristic mark on the spirit.
This is a good thing, but also a huge risk!
The advantage is that he can gain two extraordinary traits at once, far exceeding other extraordinary individuals.
Moreover, when sealing a door, a double door can be built, making it more efficient at absorbing the energy of heaven and earth and allowing for faster growth.
The downside is that the spiritual body may not be able to accept two imprints. Once it is unable to withstand the conflict of the extraordinary characteristics of the two imprints due to the huge consumption, the spiritual body will inevitably collapse on the spot and eventually dissipate into the real world.
However, Chen Ang also said that half of the top experts in the Ming Dynasty possess dual characteristics.
Since someone had succeeded, and Chang Yuan had recovered his mental energy in time with the support of the spiritual source heat flow, he was full of confidence and began the second storm baptism.
In fact, Chang Yuan was already in so much pain that he was delirious. When choosing the second Yuan Qi Storm, he was too weak to be picky. He just randomly picked the largest one in his field of vision and plunged into it.
The torment of the storm returned once more; no one heard the screams of agony, and Chang Yuan could only grit his teeth and endure it silently.
But he at least realized that the second storm's slow, agonizing death was not a ripping, but a rapid slicing, cutting his spiritual body into thin slices, like cicada wings of beef.
It hurts, but it's fun!
Chang Yuan thought to himself: Haha, I've gone mad!
As long as the spiritual heat supply is sufficient, and since I won't die anyway, I might as well just endure it!
In order to possess the strongest extraordinary power!
Time is uncertain in the Sea of Vital Energy. When Chang Yuan went mad and calmly endured the excruciating pain, it seemed as if only a moment had passed before the storm's cutting force was no longer sharp.
The second extraordinary mark has been successfully obtained!
Chang Yuan did not greedily attempt to obtain the third one, because he knew he was not far from his limit.
Restoring the spiritual source of heat is not a panacea.
Despite his extremely frequent self-healing process, his self-awareness was still damaged.
If Chang Yuan suffers injuries and heals himself without restraint, he will inevitably encounter the "Ship of Theseus" dilemma and be subjected to the logical question of "Am I still myself?"
More importantly, Chen Ang emphasized that there has never been a precedent of gaining three extraordinary abilities in a single breakthrough.
Chang Yuan had no intention of making a 0 to 1 attempt; he began to gather his spirit and retract it into his body.
He began to feel the presence of his body; his fingers were slightly numb, and a faint stream of vital energy, along with his own spirit, slowly flowed into his body from the vast world of vital energy.
The spirit gradually attaches itself to various parts of the body, while the vital energy merges and transforms with the body's blood and qi.
A sudden inspiration struck Chang Yuan, and he began to practice the twenty-four stances of Xingyi Quan.
His movements completely abandoned the fierceness of Xingyi Quan, becoming natural and fluid, with each movement appearing perfectly natural.
When the Qi and blood merge with the primordial Qi of heaven and earth, it transforms into the legendary True Essence, which surges and roars through the meridians like a rushing river.
The conversion of true essence is complete.
The next focus is on the construction of the double doors.
Chang Yuan's breakthrough point was in his fingers, specifically the index fingers of both hands.
At the physical level, the index fingers of both hands are not two wounds, but two sides of one wound, and do not need to be blocked by two extraordinary marks.
What he wanted to build was a double door on a hole in the shell.
After a moment's thought, Chang Yuan placed the most powerful extraordinary mark on the inside and the second strongest mark on the outside.
The moment the intention was made, the extraordinary imprint changed at will, becoming two magnificent gates solidified on the spiritual body, blocking the breach in the physical form.
Chang Yuan's spirit, blood, and will suddenly contracted and coalesced into one.
A visible shockwave erupted from his body, causing dust to rise from the quiet room and even making the roof tiles rattle.
Chang Yuan felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders, and as if he had been injected with boundless vitality. His physical strength surged, and his mental state was clearer than ever before.
His perception was greatly enhanced, and he could clearly capture everything within thirty meters, from the falling leaves to the sounds of insects crawling.
He also sensed the flow of primordial energy between heaven and earth, like countless subtle ripples surrounding him.
Chang Yuan's breakthrough was successful; he no longer needed any external cheat codes to possess true extraordinary abilities.
His entry has also changed:
Entry: [Accuracy +2], [Qi Absorption +1], [Xingyiquan +1], [Great Strength], [Reset]
Spiritual Source: 182
【Powerful】：Purely powerful, extremely powerful!
