Chapter 432: This Kid Is Just a Bug
This... Oh my dear mother!
Can he really open it?
He didn't trick me?
At this moment, Li Kai's spiritual energy surged wildly, his skin flushed red! His muscles bulged, and his blood vessels throbbed!
Jiangnan: (ૢ✧⌂✧)ง
"Old man, you're amazing! That leg of yours—years ago you opened the Eighth Gate! Your body couldn't take it, and it got kicked off during the fight, right?"
Li Kai was stunned: "Ah?... Ah～ right!"
"Right, right, right!"
"Back then I almost kicked a Dao Heaven to death with this move! Both my legs melted away! I was super brave!"
"Now you know how powerful your uncle's ultimate move is, right?"
Jiangnan nodded frantically. An old man is still an old man!
He didn't watch those cartoons for nothing!
Back in the Spirit Calamity, those old pioneers must have been so stifled!
When pushed to the limit, they dared to research and practice any technique!
"Uncle! Teach me another amazing skill! I'm quite interested in that Super Saiyan transformation of yours!"
"I have plenty of Pop Rocks here!"
If I could really transform, I'd be invincible in no time!
Wonder if it turns me into 'Super Saiyan Yellow' or 'Super Saiyan Blue'?
Uncle Li Kai's face stiffened, his eyes evasive: "Ahem! Young man, you need to know the principle of biting off more than you can chew!"
"First practice this Eight Gates of the Realm until the Seventh Gate! Then come find me, and I'll teach you something else, oh!"
As he spoke, he stuffed the notebook into Jiangnan's arms.
Jiangnan grinned: "Alright! Thanks, Uncle!"
Li Kai looked kindly: "The human body is a treasure waiting to be unlocked! It has unlimited potential! Go train!"
Jiangnan felt a bit excited, ran to a bench nearby, opened the notebook, and studied it carefully.
Uncle Li Kai shrank his neck.
His aura suddenly dissipated, and pushing his small wheelchair, he scurried away and disappeared.
"Got the goods! Time to scram, scram!"
"Young people nowadays are so easy to trick, haha!"
What Eight Gates of the Realm, pfft!
It was just using spiritual energy to stimulate acupoints to get a temporary burst of power!
He had indeed studied it before.
Back in the Spirit Calamity, the pioneers, stifled and with no other options for getting stronger, tried all sorts of methods!
Regarding the Eight Gates of the Realm, Uncle Li Kai had indeed consulted countless ancient texts, materials on Chinese medical acupoints and meridians.
He also consulted many ancient martial arts masters.
All the information was written in the notebook.
He didn't manage to research the Eight Gates, but he did come up with a method to stimulate acupoints.
It was completely useless though, couldn't be used in actual combat at all.
He took out a pack of Pop Rocks, tilted his head, and ate them.
With his face flushed from the popping candy, Li Kai pushed his wheelchair to Ning Youyou.
Ning Youyou tilted her head: "Old grandpa? Do you need something?"
"Little girl! I can see your bones are amazing! You look like a great candidate to practice my ultimate skill!"
"Want to learn the 18 Forms of Ultimate Skill?"
Ning Youyou's eyes sparkled: "Sure, sure!"
...
On the bench, Jiangnan looked at the materials in the notebook, his face full of excitement.
"Oh ho~ oh hoho~ Makes sense, makes sense!"
"Using spiritual energy to stimulate acupoints? So that's how it is?"
"Haha! Trading ten packs of Pop Rocks for such an amazing skill, I've made a huge profit!"
The notebook recorded a detailed theory of human meridians, acupoints, and so on.
It looked very plausible.
Jiangnan flipped through it all and memorized the theory.
Then he couldn't wait to try it.
After a lot of effort, he finally found the 'Kaiyang acupoint' in his body.
He tried to stimulate it with spiritual energy.
"Boom!"
With a loud explosion, Jiangnan's clothes billowed.
His physical functions began to improve in all aspects.
[Skill triggered! Eight Gates of the Realm: LV0!]
[Do you want to add skill points?]
Jiangnan's eyes lit up.
So the ultimate skill can also be triggered and learned through the system's skill panel!
How wonderful!
I have over 600,000 skill points! No need to think! Let's go!
[Adding skill points: 111,100 points!]
[Skill upgrade! Eight Gates of the Realm (Top Level): LV0!]
Upgraded 4 levels in a row!
In an instant, countless knowledge, techniques, and methods poured into Jiangnan's mind.
Jiangnan was stunned for a moment.
Huh? Isn't this different from what Uncle Li Kai wrote in his notebook?
It's so complicated!
To open the later gates, you need to stimulate over a hundred acupoints with spiritual energy, and in a specific order!
The effects are also different from what I imagined.
It improves all physical functions across the board.
Strength! Speed! Reaction ability! Stamina! Five senses! Spiritual energy output! All will be terrifyingly enhanced!
The more gates opened, the more insane the improvement.
Of course, the cost is equally astonishing.
This method is similar to overdrawing physical functions by stimulating acupoints, extremely harmful to the body.
After use, one remains weakened for a long period.
But Jiangnan wasn't afraid.
Was the Vitality Ginseng given for nothing?
One mouthful of Vitality Ginseng dipped in sauce!
And activate Eight Gates of the Realm at the same time!
Jiangnan was extremely excited.
After upgrading Eight Gates of the Realm to the top level, he only obtained the method to open the first seven gates.
It seems the eighth Gate of Death can only be obtained by pushing it to Grandmaster MAX.
But Jiangnan didn't have one million skill points now; he'd have to wait.
But this is enough! Why would he open the Death Gate for no reason?
What if he ended up killing himself?
At this moment, Jiangnan was so excited his mouth was dry.
I've finally found my own treasure old man!
I want to learn Pegasus Meteor Fist!
I want to transform into Super Saiyan!
...
At that moment, Uncle Li Kai was leisurely sitting in his wheelchair.
Ning Youyou was standing behind him, earnestly massaging his shoulders.
"Grandpa Kai! How is the force? Is it okay?"
"Mm! Not bad, little girl! Keep going, keep going!"
Ning Youyou asked innocently: "Then when will Grandpa Kai teach me the 18 Forms of Ultimate Skill?"
Li Kai chuckled: "Wait until I..."
"Teacher Kai, I've come to learn a new ultimate skill from you!"
Jiangnan suddenly appeared in front of the wheelchair, startling Li Kai so much he nearly fell off.
He immediately put on a serious face: "Ahem! Young man! Didn't I tell you? Biting off more than you can chew!"
"Wait until you've mastered Eight Gates of the Realm! Then I'll..."
Jiangnan: "I've already learned it!"
Li Kai: ???
Learned it? Bullshit!
Even I don't know it!
"Young man! Bragging isn't a good habit!"
"I really know it!"
Li Kai rolled his eyes: "Come on, give it up! I..."
With a roar, Jiangnan shouted: "Eight Gates of the Realm! Kai, Xiu, Sheng, Shang, Du, Jing..."
"Seventh Gate of Shock! Open!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Seven consecutive explosive sounds!
Jiangnan's aura rose again and again! The violent spiritual pressure distorted Li Kai's facial skin.
It even warped the air, sending his black hair flying.
His skin turned red, veins bulged on his muscles, and his physical functions were elevated to an insane level.
Li Kai: Σ(ŎдŎ|||)ﾉﾉ
Ning Youyou: Σ(๑ºΔº๑)
What's going on?
How the heck did you learn it!
I know better than anyone what I wrote in that notebook!
The person who wrote the manual can't even do it, and you learned it just by reading?
Was it even 15 minutes?
And he opened all the way to the Seventh Gate in one go? Li Kai could tell at a glance that Jiangnan's was genuine skill.
Li Kai swallowed his saliva: "No... no way, how did you manage to learn it?"
"Did you cheat, or did an old immortal come to you in a dream?"
Jiangnan switched off the Eight Gates of the Realm, his face slightly pale.
He asked in surprise: "Why couldn't I learn it? Should I not have been able to?"
Li Kai panicked, his old face turning white.
He quickly put on a smile: "No, no, no! Of course not!"
"I could tell at a glance your bones were amazing, that's why I gave you the ultimate skill! I said it was suitable for you!"
"It's normal to master it so quickly! Mm! As expected!"
In reality, he was panicking like crazy.
He was terrified.
Is this kid a bug?
How did he learn it!
If I weren't too embarrassed, I would have asked him how he did it!
