Although Wu Ansu knew about the divisions of warrior realms such as Ming Jin and Dark Jin, she had no corresponding concept of the strength represented by the corresponding realms. On the contrary, Li Mengnan used martial arts novels as an analogy, which gave her a vague idea of Wu Mingyang's strength.
the concept of.
"A warrior as strong as Wu Mingyang is actually only third-rate in the world?"
Wu Ansu was a little unbelievable. In the previous encounter in the corridor, Wu Mingyang had to fight against more than a dozen of them and the police all the way to the stairs. If he hadn't been determined to break away and refused to fight, their group would have been wiped out.
, even so, several were slightly injured.
If this level is third-rate, then what kind of non-human existence would a first-rate or even a legendary top warrior be?
"Ming Jin, Dark Jin, Hua Jin, every time you rise to a higher level, the warrior's strength will increase by leaps and bounds, and there will be a qualitative change.
The difference in strength caused by different realms can no longer be reflected by simple quantitative stacking such as "one dark strength warrior is equal to several bright strength warriors", but I can still give you an inappropriate analogy.
If the master of Jin Jin is a pistol, then the master of An Jin is an automatic rifle, and when it reaches the level of strength, it is a heavy machine gun... If it can be upgraded to a higher level, it will directly become a small-caliber artillery."
When it reaches the level of "cannon", it is the realm of the legendary top warriors. In terms of destructive power alone, these people can be called humanoid self-propelled cannons.
Li Mengnan's analogy was much easier to understand than the dry text description in the book. Wu Ansu listened with great interest, and he had a rough and clear understanding of the differences between warriors in different realms.
"What about you? If you can tie with Wu Mingyang, you should be considered a master of Ming Jin, right?" It can be seen that Wu Ansu is very interested in this question.
To be honest, Wu Ansu always felt that Li Mengnan was inscrutable. She knew that he was very strong, but she never knew how strong he could be. This battle with Wu Mingyang seemed to finally let her see Li Mengnan.
The bottom line of strength.
"Can this be considered a tie?" Li Mengnan pulled the hospital gown on his body funny.
"That's different. You're saving people, he's killing people, and you have far more worries than he does... If you two were in a fair one-on-one situation, I believe that Wu Mingyang might not be your opponent."
It was rare for Wu Ansu to speak to the point, but the innocence in his words made Li Mengnan amused.
"Fair? Su Su, have you read too many martial arts novels? In reality, you die or I die in a battle. How can there be any rules in the world? Those are just friendly competitions that do not involve life and death... Besides,
, it’s not fair in itself for me, a Qimen, to beat him, a martial artist!”
"Is the Qimen more powerful, or the warriors?"
"When the two sides are at the same level, the Qimen will always have a slight advantage over the warriors."
What Li Mengnan said was not what he said himself, but was a fact recognized by the world.
At the same level, the combat effectiveness displayed by Qimen and warriors is generally the same, but the martial artist's attack method that relies entirely on the body is traceable, while Qimen's attack method has long been separated.
The shackles of the physical body are often unpredictable and difficult to guard against.
Therefore, unless there is absolute suppression beyond the first level, warriors are generally unwilling to have a head-on conflict with Qimen.
"What does the equivalent realm of correspondence mean?" Wu Ansu noticed that Li Mengnan used the word "correspondence".
"Unlike the physical cultivation that warriors focus on, Qimen focuses on spiritual cultivation, which is the so-called 'spiritual power'.
Depending on the direction of practice, the division of realms will naturally be different.
The Qimen's realms from low to high are 'Aura of Light, Lingxi, and Linghua', which respectively correspond to the three realms of a warrior's 'Ming Jin, Dark Jin, and Transformation Jin'."
"Lingguang? Lingxi? Spiritual flower? The realm of your Qimen sounds so strange." Wu Ansu recited it silently several times, firmly remembering what Li Mengnan said about the three realms of Qimen.
"You think it's strange because you don't understand Qimen. In fact, the realms of Qimen are as vivid as the realms of warriors."
Aura, the first level of Qimen, is named after "a flash of aura".
The so-called "aura" of human beings is essentially mental power. "Lack of aura" or "a flash of inspiration" actually refers to the troughs and peaks of mental power.
Only by being able to maintain one's mental power stably at the peak state of "a sudden flash of inspiration" for a long time can one be considered to have cultivated the first level of "spiritual light".
However, a Qimen practitioner in the realm of "spiritual light" cannot be regarded as a true Qimen practitioner.
The realm of "spiritual light" can only make practitioners clear their ears and eyesight, and strengthen their control over the limbs and brain. However, since most of the mental power is still shackled by the body, except for a few self-status enhancement spells, the wonders of this realm
Sect practitioners are basically insulated from magic, and their external appearance is that of a relatively smart and keen ordinary person.
The Qimen practitioners in the "Lingguang" realm are far inferior to the "Mingjin" warriors in the same realm in terms of combat effectiveness. Therefore, almost all Qimen sects have strict sect rules that "the Lingguang realm is not allowed to enter the world."
.
Lingxi is the second level of Qimen. It is the lowest standard for practitioners of Qimen to enter the world. The name is taken from the famous saying "The body does not have a colorful phoenix with two flying wings, but the heart has a clear understanding of Lingxi".
Qimen practitioners in this realm have reorganized and classified the chaotic mental power in their bodies and condensed it into specific mental wavelengths corresponding to their own cultivation techniques. The mental power can be released in the form of tentacles through the pores around the body, using the sixth
Sense of extraordinary perception of external information.
At the same time, the released spiritual power can be exerted on external objects, triggering the rules of heaven and earth to activate various strange spells.
Starting from the "Lingxi" realm, Qimen practitioners truly have the capital to suppress warriors at the same level.
Spirit Flower is the third level of Qimen. Its name is taken from the Taoist inner alchemy term "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top".
Upon reaching this state, the essence, Qi, and spirit of Qimen practitioners have returned from the original "divided" state to the "combined" state. The three merge into one, and from then on they circulate endlessly, endlessly.
The spiritual power in the realm of "Spiritual Flower" will also transform into "spiritual thoughts" with the fusion of essence, energy and spirit, thus possessing the ability to directly interfere with matter without going through the rules of heaven and earth.
The power of spells activated by "spiritual thoughts" not only increases geometrically, but also undergoes some unpredictable and highly personal changes based on the nature of each Qimen practitioner's "spiritual thoughts".
"Three flowers gather at the top of the head, and five qi rise towards the Yuan. It seems that similar situations will occur when a warrior reaches a certain level of practice, right?" Wu Ansu remembered that he seemed to have seen the corresponding record in an ancient book in the Yun family library.
Li Mengnan smiled and said: "This is not surprising. When practicing together, the body and spirit are not isolated. No matter which side you focus on, you will reach the same destination through different paths in the end."
"Different paths lead to the same destination, you mean...?" Wu Ansu was suddenly startled by Li Mengnan's statement, because she had also seen a sensational legend in that ancient book.
"Yes, no matter whether you are a Qi Sect or a warrior, as long as you go one step further after reaching the third level, you will be the legendary level where you begin to cultivate immortality." Li Mengnan nodded and affirmed.
Similar rumors have been recorded in the classics of various warriors and Qimen sects, but there has never been any definite evidence to confirm this.
But this does not prevent many warriors and Qimen who embark on the road of spiritual practice from taking the road to immortality as their ultimate goal.
"Fairy..." Wu Ansu stretched out, looked deeply at the sky outside the window in the distance, and sighed: "I remember when I was a child, when the full moon came, I liked to lie down at the window and look at the moon. I wanted to see if I could
Seeing Chang'e's Jade Rabbit and Osmanthus Tree, a hateful book called "One Hundred Thousand Whys" completely destroyed a little girl's beautiful fantasy about the moon..."
This was the first time Li Mengnan heard Wu Ansu talk about her childhood, and she couldn't help but join in the fun: "I'm different from you. When I was a child, I usually squatted on the tree by the river to look at the moon. According to our old man, luck is
If it's good, you might see Chang'e come down to earth and bathe in the river..."
"..."
Wu Ansu held her face speechlessly. She was sure that when Li Mengnan was squatting on the tree, she must have known that it was not Chang'e she was waiting for.
"By the way, Mengnan, which realm have you reached now?" After knowing the corresponding relationship between Qimen and warriors, Wu Ansu couldn't help but become a little curious about Li Mengnan's cultivation realm.
"During the long vacation after the college entrance examination, I stayed in seclusion in the mountains for two months before I broke through to the spiritual light realm. Now I should be considered the early stage of the spiritual realm..."
Speaking of this, Li Mengnan also felt that he was quite lucky. If he hadn't realized the spiritual conception of "Flowers in the Mirror and Moon in the Water" by the pool during the last week of retreat, he would not have been able to reach the world before the end of the university report.
the minimum level of standards.
If he fails to enter the country, he may have to repeat his studies and use the next year to make a breakthrough again.
"Lingxi realm, isn't that equivalent to the dark strength realm of a warrior?"
Wu Ansu was quite surprised. She only knew that Li Mengnan was very strong, but she didn't expect that Li Mengnan's cultivation level was so high.
"Wait, that's not right..." Wu Ansu suddenly discovered a strange paradox, "Since you said that Wu Mingyang only has the Dzogchen realm of Ming Jin, and you are equivalent to the Lingxi realm of An Jin, according to Qimen's theory
According to the martial artist's theory of same-level superiority, you are at a higher level than him. It doesn't matter if you can't overpower him, how can you still be injured by him?"
Li Mengnan clutched his chest as if he had been shot in pain, and said depressedly: "Susu, I find that you are always surprisingly sharp on trivial issues... I am already very injured, do you want to be so good at finishing it?
"
"But you obviously told me all this." Wu Ansu looked innocent.
"Because I am a magician, and among all the magic arts, I am only good at illusions."
Li Mengnan sighed helplessly.
Among all the magical magic systems, when it comes to direct combat ability, illusion is said to be ranked second, and only divination can be said to be ranked first.
Even though he had been invincible in many of his previous attacks, that was just because his opponents were basically ordinary people, and the opponent's poor mental barrier was as thin as a fresh layer of *** under his mental attack.
A gentle poke will break it, and then you can roughly drag it into the dreamland amidst the screams of the "elegant butterfly" and ravage it at will, rounding it, flattening it, and ravaging it.
The willpower of a warrior has a natural ability to restrain mental attacks such as illusions that directly act on the brain. At the same level, unless the warrior is seriously injured and his willpower is reduced, the possibility of succeeding in the dream spell is almost infinite.
zero.
The existence time of illusions with realistic damage capabilities will be shortened to varying degrees according to the strength of the opponent's willpower.
The only ones that can really be used normally are illusions that can only create false images.
Of course, just because illusion is short in melee combat, it doesn't mean that illusionists are weak.
It can only be said that compared to other strange professions, the illusionist's weaknesses are as obvious as his advantages. It is a completely contradictory complex of extremely strong and extremely weak.
The shortcomings of the illusionist are not irreparable. In the mental space of the "Illusion Prison", the attached warriors mentioned by the unknown great demon spirit are actually the best complement to the illusionist's own shortcomings.
The stronger the dependent warrior, the greater the room for the illusionist to play. Just like the combination of the necromancer and the paladin in online games, the illusionist can not only use illusions to create illusions and negative states for the opponent, but also to create illusions and negative conditions for his own dependents.
The warrior hangs a large number of positive status auras, and the enemy is eliminated and we are strengthened. The final effect is not as simple as one plus one.
It's a pity that the inheritance that Li Mengnan belongs to is actually, as he mentioned to Wu Ansu before, a "broken household" in the Qi Sect. The inheritance has long since ceased to rely on or be friends with the warrior sects, so the dependents naturally belong to the warriors.
There is no way to talk about it.
A Qimen practitioner who fights alone is the most miserable person, and an illusionist who fights alone is even more miserable.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."
After finishing the injection of the hanging bottle hanging on the iron frame, Li Mengnan did not ring the bell to call the nurse. He pulled out the needle himself, got up and got out of bed and moved his hands and feet, which were lying a little stiff.
"What are you doing? Lie down quickly! Do you want to die?" Wu Ansu was afraid of touching Li Mengnan's injury and did not dare to drag him back to bed. He could only stand aside and stare.
"Looking at what you said, it sounds like I could die at any time. I just have a broken bone, not a broken bone. Do I need to lie there all the time like I'm in confinement?"
Li Mengnan stretched out his hand in a funny way and pinched Wu Ansu's angry face. He suddenly found that his condition had become his talisman at this moment. No matter how much Wu Ansu gritted his teeth, he did not dare to punch him directly like before.
Hello, this discovery immediately made him squeeze harder and harder.
Seeing Li Mengnan's childish behavior, Wu Ansu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She let him pinch her body for a while, then she opened his hand angrily and said: "Okay, stop making trouble, take a rest first.
I'll call my aunt to inform her."
"Aunt? You mean my mother?" Li Mengnan was stunned for a moment before realizing who the "aunt" Wu Ansu was talking about. He quickly waved his hand and said: "Su Su, do me a favor and say that I will stay with you today.
Never say anything about my hospitalization."
Wu Ansu couldn't help but blush and murmured in a low voice: "You did it on purpose, right? It's not okay to lie about anything, why do you have to say you want to live at my place?"
Although he knew that Li Mengnan didn't really want to go there, the imagination brought about by these words still made Wu Ansu feel nervous like a deer bumping into each other.
"I can't help it. The only male friends I have are all living on campus. My mother only needs to ask Minnie to go to my dormitory and she will know everything. Only if she says it's your place, my mother won't continue to ask questions."
Li Mengnan put his hands together and made a please gesture.
"Oh well."
Wu Ansu nodded. In fact, this was not a big request. She and Li Mengnan were originally boyfriend and girlfriend. Even if they stayed overnight, there was no need to worry about any rumors.
Seeing Wu Ansu call Xiao Hui in a slightly shy tone, Li Mengnan gave Wu Ansu a thumbs up in approval, which immediately caused Wu Ansu to roll his eyes.
Wu Ansu bent down and smoothed the wrinkled quilt, and said: "I will call the bureau later and tell them that I will lead the team to guard here in the next few days. If Auntie and the others don't come, there must be someone here.
Take care of you……"
Just as he was talking, Wu Ansu noticed that there was suddenly no sound behind him. When he looked back, he saw that Li Mengnan had taken off his hospital gown and was standing there wearing only a pair of underwear.
"You...what are you going to do?" Wu Ansu was inexplicably flustered. Although she didn't believe that Li Mengnan would do that to her at this time, similar associations would inevitably arise when a man and a woman were alone in the same room.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just changing my clothes." Li Mengnan wasn't joking this time. If the same jokes are used too often, readers should find it boring.
Alas? Who is the reader?
"Why are you changing clothes?" Wu Ansu asked curiously.
"Go out for a walk and show your face."
Li Mengnan put on his original clothes and combed his hair to the back in front of the mirror, exposing his entire forehead to make him look more energetic.
"If I guess correctly, Wu Mingyang must not have gone far after escaping your pursuit. He may be observing this place from a corner of the hospital at this moment... He was burned by the flame of my illusion before, and he must have been seriously injured.
He has suffered mental damage. Before his mental state is fully recovered, he will not dare to appear in front of me easily again. My appearance with you will make him misjudge that I have promised to assist the police in protecting Zhuang Jia. This way, at least in
In a short time, he will not act rashly.
Wu Ansu suddenly realized that theoretically speaking, Li Mengnan's "empty city strategy" was indeed feasible. Although it was not a long-term solution, in this passive situation where the enemy was in darkness and we were clear, we could only treat the pain in the head and feet first.
