Chapter 9: Chapter 5: Props, the Sculpture of the Divine Immortal Sister_2

"Seventy years of Internal Strength, and it still has not achieved Great Success?"
"Yes, Inner Strength is Inner Strength, Realm is Realm, they're different things."
Ji Tianqi contemplated for a moment and then began to explain seriously.
"It's like those Energy Release Superpower Users with fire-related abilities. Some can only roll up fireballs and throw them directly. Others can create Fire Birds, Fire Phoenixes that attack automatically as if flying."
The person in charge nodded, "It's like two people of the same physical fitness, one who is proficient in combat and one who is not; the outcome of a fight between them would quickly become apparent."
"Exactly, that's pretty much it."
The person in charge continued to ask questions.
"How do you know that you received seventy years worth of Inner Strength?"
"It was You Yazi who said so, he told me he gave me seventy years worth of Inner Strength. Because he had cultivated the Beiming Skill to a high level of achievement, the Empowerment during the transmission was very precise."
"But according to our monitoring, the... Inner Strength in your body is more than just seventy years."
"Of course, the Inner Strength of seventy years' worth of Beiming Skill helped me break through the realm of the Nine Yang Skill. So now, I have eighty years' worth of Inner Strength."
The person in charge looked at the report in his hands and sighed inwardly.
Because the eighty years of Inner Strength that Ji Tianqi spoke of was actually the Energy value of 80 detected by the relevant equipment—eighty kilograms (TNT).
The Energy Values of the related Superpower Users are all established based on the power generated by the standard TNT explosives.
Clearly, such a standard should not be used in an ancient, otherworldly environment—where not even black powder may have been available, let alone TNT.
Obviously still delusional.
But definitely stronger.
Although the number eighty might seem small, its actual power is substantial, enough to reduce a three-story building constructed of reinforced concrete to ruins.
The shockwave can even shatter the glass of other buildings within hundreds of meters.
If we were to compare it to weapons, Eagle Country's Poison Stinger missile's warhead charge is only equivalent to 600 grams of TNT.
Of course, the power of a missile isn't solely determined by the warhead charge; the propulsion device's contribution to the flight speed is a crucial parameter, among others.
Similarly, the full potential of Ji Tianqi's Energy Value depends on how he actually uses it.
In some sense, it depends on the Martial Arts he uses to channel this Inner Strength.
So after some thought, the person in charge chose a question.
"You only received seventy years' worth of Inner Strength, and you've only achieved Small Success in Nine Yang Skill without any other benefits?"
"No, You Yazi guided my cultivation and deepened my understanding of the Nine Yang Skill."
Ji Tianqi mentioned benefits that confused everyone, then he lifted the sword in his hand.
"And this, this is a Divine Weapon treasured by You Yazi; it's no Divine Weapon, but it's quite powerful, cutting through iron as if it were mud."
"..."
Everyone looked at the alloy sword made with modern craftsmanship, all letting out an inward sigh—the evidence labeling Ji Tianqi as delusional had not decreased because he became stronger, rather, it had increased.
Of course, the evidence suggesting Ji Tianqi was not delusional seemed to have increased as well—about his comprehension of the Nine Yang Skill!
"So, how much of Nine Yang Skill have you mastered?"
"Well..."
Ji Tianqi pondered, looking thoughtful, before answering.
"Misty Purple Qi, Yijin Marrow Cleansing, Extreme Yang Warm Qi, Bone Shrinking Skill, Turtle Breath Technique, Gecko Wall Climbing Skill. These, I have learned."
"Vajra Unbreakable, Immune to Hundred Poisons, Leverage, Get Stronger When Facing Strong, Vitality. These I would need to achieve Great Success to perform, and I have not managed that yet."
What a pity, if You Yazi wasn't at the end of his lifespan and running out of time to unblock the hundreds of acupoints and numerous Xuan Gates throughout my body, and could only transfer his power instead.
I would have been able to achieve Great Success in Nine Yang Skill, becoming a true expert."
It sounded quite reasonable, actually.
But everyone sighed inwardly again, because what Ji Tianqi described came straight from an online encyclopedia entry about Nine Yang Skill.
Could the Nine Yang Skill of an otherworldly realm be so coincidentally similar?
"Care to demonstrate?"
"No problem."
Ji Tianqi was about to demonstrate, but he paused.
Then he frowned and said, "Eh? Why can't I use it now?"
Upon hearing this, everyone started to laugh.
"The Genetic Lock has not been released yet."
This was the critical evidence that Ji Tianqi was delusional because, in theory, if Ji Tianqi's power stemmed from the Martial Arts he practiced.
Then being restrained by the Genetic Lock would only lock away his Crossing Superpower and not affect the abilities he gained based on Martial Arts.
At this moment, Bai Xiuchu started to doubt his own Sixth Sense, because Ji Tianqi did not seem to be acting.
Once the Genetic Lock was released again, Ji Tianqi cheerfully began his demonstration.
The Misty Purple Qi and Yijin Marrow Cleansing couldn't be demonstrated; one was about the state of Inner Strength in the Dantian, the other the enhancement of martial arts talent.
The former was unobservable, and for the research team, the latter just meant that Ji Tianqi's physical fitness had improved again, like the evolution or upgrade of other similar Superpower Users.
However, other abilities from the Nine Yang Skill—or should we say Martial Arts—impressed people greatly during their demonstration.
For Extreme Yang Warm Qi, Ji Tianqi circulated his Inner Strength and rapidly heated a large basin of water to boiling, faster than a 3000W electric water heater.
