Evil Qi, an extrely dangerous yet formidable force.
If this power is harnessed well, even an ordinary person can beco a warrior capable of taking on a hundred foes; if one learns to wield this power, even mountains can be cleaved with a single stroke—but this powerful force, nonetheless, can do nothing beyond destruction, not even pick up a small stone.
This inevitably made Du Chengfeng think of sothing else he was relatively familiar with.
That was gunpowder.
Equally violent, equally fierce, equally terrifying in destructive power, yet only used for destruction—at least in Du Chengfeng’s understanding, he only knew of gunpowder being used to create firearms, but had never heard of anyone inventing an engine driven by gunpowder. This thing is solely for destruction, only for destruction; it has power for just an instant, and then nothing more.
But Du Chengfeng knew well, Evil Qi is not gunpowder.
Though there are indeed similarities between the two, they are ultimately completely different. Gunpowder can sustain only a montary burn, but Evil Qi is more like a force, truly violent, yet that violence is lasting, resilient, more flexible, and more convenient.
So, can Evil Qi be used for sothing other than destruction?
"Yes! It definitely can!"
Du Chengfeng realized this clearly.
Of course, realization is one thing, while actualizing it is fraught with various difficulties—such as how to drive Evil Qi, how to control the output of force, and more troublingly, Du Chengfeng didn’t even know if the power within his body could be called Evil Qi. This attempt was full of the unknown and brimming with risk.
Fortunately, after about three days of intense contemplation and countless failures, he finally succeeded.
"This is the fruit of cultivation!"
Once again using the tip of his blade to steadily lift the stone, Du Chengfeng’s face was filled with pride.
Using Evil Qi to lift a stone may look mundane, but it was so far the only achievent he had developed on his own—considering that all the abilities and powers he’d acquired so far were either stolen from others’ mories or learned from known systems. Back then, he was rely learning, retracing the paths of predecessors. Indeed, it might make him stronger, but that path would ultimately reach its end.
Just like the naless giant’s experience, after experiencing everything possible, there was truly no road ahead.
But now, this ti, with his understanding of Evil Qi, and the application of this power, he made the stone before him float.
Though it was just a stone, and it even wobbled slightly, it held trendous significance for Du Chengfeng.
After losing direction in front of him, he finally blazed his own trail.
"It’s kind of like this, just a matter of applying a force with Evil Qi here."
Du Chengfeng eagerly explained, at this mont eager to find soone to share the joy and happiness.
"But the force must be moderate, or excess bloodlust will cause Evil Qi to shatter the stone, control the bloodlust well, like this, and then like this..."
Du Chengfeng spoke endlessly, hoping dearly that Yu Lao’er could understand the remarkable feat he had just achieved.
But clearly, Yu Lao’er didn’t understand.
Forget about complex force control, Yu Lao’er couldn’t even grasp the basics of Evil Qi, let alone what simple levitation ant or what kind of breakthrough it represented for Du Chengfeng—even though Du Chengfeng tried hard to explain, Yu Lao’er still didn’t get it, and the more he explained, the more confused Yu Lao’er beca.
"Evil, Evil Qi is only for killing people?"
As Du Chengfeng wrapped up his explanation, Yu Lao’er even began to shiver.
"How, how could it be permissible? How could one kill?"
"Is that what I ant?"
Du Chengfeng exasperatedly slapped his forehead.
Perhaps this is the downside of going too far; if you go one step ahead, you’re a genius, but if you go two or three steps ahead, you’re considered crazy—indeed, that’s how Yu Lao’er was looking at him, and Du Chengfeng could feel it, no different from how he looked at Cui Yuan.
At this mont, Du Chengfeng even missed Cui Yuan a bit, at least when Xiao Cui was around, soone could understand what he was talking about.
Although Cui Yuan’s understanding was surely far from what he truly wanted to convey, at least he could have a conversation.
Perhaps only the naless giant could truly understand what he was thinking, what he was doing.
"Ah..."
Du Chengfeng paused, suddenly losing the interest to continue talking.
Behind him, Yu Lao’er kept asking questions, clearly, the earlier conversation about sothing related to killing had scared this honest farr out of his wits—but Du Chengfeng had lost interest in answering, he simply leaned by the window, looking at the moon hanging high outside.
The full moon hung high, clear as water.
Different from the moon he rembered, in this world, the moon was free of shadows and craters, absent were the pitted shadows, and even to Du Chengfeng’s eyes, now far beyond ordinary, it appeared as a truly flawless, radiant jade plate.
