Chapter 19: Adding points failed, but also succeeded
Same as the last point addition, along with a roar in the brain, Mark and the green caterpillar were briefly dizzy one after another.
Touching his forehead, Mark quickly woke up.
My brain is slightly dizzy, but it's not serious.
Mark looked around, feeling inexplicably that he had forgotten something important, but he couldn't remember it no matter how hard he recalled it.
Next to him, the green caterpillar was looking around like him, looking a little confused.
"Speaking of which, why did I faint just now?"
Mark frowned and thought, but he didn't think for too long.
Because Mark knows that what he should do now is to practice his spiritual master skills [impact training method (charged attack)] to make it a step further.
After traveling through time, he became a spiritual master. In the process of instructing the green caterpillars to practice impact, he had already understood the [impact training method (preparing for a powerful attack)].
Compared with the ordinary [Impact], the power of [Impact (charged attack)] is significantly increased.
But in his opinion, it is actually far from enough.
If the skill move [Crash] is placed in the martial arts world.
The [impact] that the green caterpillar first understood from the bloodline gene can only be regarded as a first glimpse of the door.
The [Impact (charged attack)] jointly developed by him and the Green Caterpillar should be considered as a break-in.
On top of entering the hall, there is also perfection and returning to nature.
Returning to nature is Mark’s goal.
To describe it with the swordsmanship of Dugu Qiubai, a famous figure in the martial arts world, it is not limited to objects, and any grass, wood, bamboo, or stone can be used as a sword.
The same goes for [Impact]. He wants to simplify [Impact (charged attack)] from complexity, so that it looks ordinary, but its speed and power are extraordinary.
Mark closed his eyes and meditated.
Although he has a general idea, he has not yet found an entry point on how to take the first step towards returning to his original nature.
While thinking, Mark opened his backpack and took out the "Encyclopedia of Common Knowledge about the Elves of the Kingdom of Shia (1)" and "Encyclopedia of Common Knowledge about the Elves of the Kingdom of Shia (2)" from the backpack and looked through them carefully.
The thickness of the two books is different, the second one is much thinner than the first one.
"Strange, why do I feel that there should be a lot of books, and the content of these two books seems to be missing a lot, especially the second one, which seems to be missing more than half of the book..."
Mark kept thinking, but he never found the reason for the missing books. Instead, he discovered another doubt.
——The style of his backpack is a bit strange.
His backpack did not seem to be specially used to hold books. It seemed that something had been put in it, but he could never remember what he had put in it.
"This shape looks like an ostrich egg. Do you have any impression of the green caterpillar?"
Mark asked the green caterpillar next to him, who shook his head, obviously not sure.
Mark didn't think too much about these trivial matters, and quickly continued to think about [impact training method].
Since he never found a suitable entry point, Mark picked up a wooden stick and wrote and drew on the soil in a nearby open space, writing down some of the key points of knowledge he remembered before traveling.
He decided to summarize all the knowledge he had.
The green caterpillar stayed with Mark at first, but then he got bored and practiced [Crash] by himself in a nearby open space, trying to incorporate Lada's [Lightning Flash] technique.
Just like that, the day passed.
Three days have passed...
Five days... ten days...
A month passed inadvertently, and the nearby open space was filled with dense words written by Mark.
Mark muttered something as if he was stunned.
"Return to nature...Ming Jin, Dark Jin, Transformation Jin...the penetration of divine will, a feather cannot be added, a fly cannot fall..."
Mark, who was muttering to himself, suddenly roared in annoyance and continued to erase the words written in the soil. When there was no more words on the ground, he continued to write on the ground with a wooden stick.
One day, two days, three days...
After writing for three consecutive days, Mark once again erased the words on the ground and continued to write new content.
For the next whole year, Mark kept repeating this process.
In fact, it cannot be said that it was a year, to be precise, it was the past five years. Mark has been writing and drawing in the nearby open space and constantly studying.
Mark's green caterpillar first practiced the [impact] technique in a nearby open space by itself, and later accompanied Mark to think about it.
Then in the sixth year, Mark no longer immersed himself in research, and would spare a few hours every day to sit cross-legged and meditate, trying to find a way to advance in the [impact training method] from heaven, earth and nature.
As a result, it still didn’t work.
Time went by, and for ten consecutive years, Mark gained very little.
And after these ten years.
Mark suddenly had a feeling that as long as he chose to give up, he would wake up and end it all, and all the worries and confusion would disappear.
Mark doesn't know what waking up means, and he doesn't want to know.
Because he doesn't intend to give up, let alone end.
He still sits cross-legged and meditates in the forest every day, comprehends the nature of heaven and earth, and studies hard every day...
Time keeps passing, year after year...
"Returning to nature, how can we achieve it..."
Mark sighed while walking with the green caterpillar in the forest. Unknowingly, they came to a place that seemed familiar to them.
Blue sky, white clouds, endless grassland, and some small puddles on the grass.
This is where he traveled to this world.
Through the reflection in the puddle, Mark saw an extremely old figure, and he also felt the decline of his body functions.
"Am I...that old already?"
Mark reached out and touched his wrinkled cheek.
"Return to nature...return to nature..."
Mark murmured to himself, and something seemed to be suddenly pulled away from his body during the words. The world in his eyes lost color and turned into black and white.
He could no longer control his body, and his black and white vision became darker and darker. Not long after, he leaned back and fell down...
The green caterpillar on the side noticed that Mark had fallen, and immediately put a cushion under Mark to prevent Mark from falling, but found that Mark's body had lost any movement, both heartbeat and breathing had disappeared.
It emerged from under Mark's body and stared blankly at Mark's face.
I was seeing Mark’s eyes that were full of unwillingness and lost their luster.
——The master is dead.
Buzz——
Along with a strange buzzing sound, the picture in the green caterpillar's sight began to break and collapse...
……
……
When the green caterpillar came back to his senses, he saw his young master not far away from him.
It wiped its eyes in disbelief, and then rushed into Mark's arms, its tears unable to stop flowing.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"
Mark gently rubbed the green caterpillar's head, wiped the green caterpillar's tears and said: "I have told you, this is the effect of adding some points. That experience did not really happen. It was more than three years after the last practice.
The impact is the same, but this time it takes a little longer. Don’t cry, it’s like it’s really a separation between life and death.”
"Hiss?"
"Yes, that experience didn't really happen." Mark recalled that memory, sighed softly and continued: "However, it is still very real. After forty-seven years and three months of painstaking research, the result is
In the end, I still failed to understand the secret of returning to my original nature. It seems that I am just an ordinary person..."
Mark said as he clicked on the system panel.
If we look at the memories of those forty-seven years, his attempt to add points this time should have been a failure. After all, he eventually died of old age and mental exhaustion, unable to find a way to return to his original nature.
But if you look at the system panel at this time, his point addition this time was still successful.
……
【Mark】
[Spirit Control Talent: None]
[Spirit Control Skills: Impact Training Method (charged attack, instant attack, hard and soft penetrating attack, multi-stage combo)]
[Skills: Impact (charged attack, instant attack, hard and soft penetrating attack, multi-stage combo), silk spinning]
……
After forty-seven years of painstaking study, although he ultimately fell short of success and could not understand the secret of returning to nature until his death, he still achieved some moderate results.
He and the Green Caterpillar successfully perfected [Impact (Instant Strike)] by referring to Lada's [Lightning Flash], which can launch a super-fast impact.
Similarly, he and the Green Caterpillar developed [Impact (Strong and Soft Penetrating Body Attack)] based on the combination of hardness and softness used by Wei Li, so that the impact has the effect of penetrating destruction.
In addition, he and the green caterpillar also developed [impact (multi-stage combo)]. The green caterpillar can impact at most seven times in a very short period of time...
