Chapter 32: Seeking the Way to Transcendence
"This state cannot last forever and will exit in about 30 seconds"
Li Heng has a clear mind and is very aware of his situation. He must complete the integration of his spirit and body within this limited 30 seconds.
To compare this kind of thing is like water and mud. Water is the spiritual will, and soil is the physical body.
Both of them have flaws. The spirit is like water and can change its shape at will. It is pervasive and intrusive, but it is too weak and has no support. The body is as hard as earth and strong and can shape itself, but it cannot change and adapt.
Only when water and earth melt together and become mud can they transcend both the tangible entity and random changes.
This "mud" is what drives the extraordinary power that transcends common sense.
Li Heng carefully tried to merge "water" into "earth" and slowly turned it into "mud".
This is just an abstract statement. At this moment, an extremely complex and difficult-to-quantify special reaction is taking place in his body. His original life energy is being transformed into a brand new special life energy that has never been naturally generated by any life.<
/p>
For this reason, some of his tissues and organs are undergoing subtle changes, and are slowly becoming specialized, forming brand new human tissues!
This is the first time that Li Heng is truly different from ordinary humans in terms of physiological structure.
In his first attempt, Li Heng did not dare to be too radical. After getting familiar with this state of spiritual and physical fusion, he tried a short fusion and only stayed in the overclocking state for ten seconds before exiting.
"Success!"
The moment Li Heng opened his eyes, his eyes were filled with joy. Although it only lasted ten seconds, he still got what he wanted.
At this moment, there is a brand-new substance flowing in the blood in his body that has never appeared before. It is the energy carrier that carries the fusion of spirit and body, a super compound that is unique to him.
The value reflected on the panel is that his extraordinary power increased from the original 24 to 25.
This "new life substance" he synthesized has clearly become part of his extraordinary power, and it is the cornerstone and fuel for his extraordinary abilities.
Although there is only a slight increase, its significance is extraordinary. From a biological point of view, he is fundamentally different from ordinary humans at this moment. From a practical sense, he can create this brand new life by himself.
Energy, from now on, extraordinary power is no longer sourceless water.
"I already have a way to replenish my [supernatural power], so I don't have to worry about the depletion of my supernatural power, but the price is indeed not small."
His eyes returned to his basic attributes - [Physique: 139] [Spirit: 141]
Compared with the previous values, these two attributes have both decreased a bit!
The reason for this change is undoubtedly that Li Heng has just merged his spirit and body through overclocking, using these two basic attributes as raw materials to create extraordinary power.
From the panel, it is very simple and clear - a little body, a little spirit = a little supernatural power.
Very fair and simple.
But Li Heng felt quite distressed, because this algorithm is pure hooliganism!
The two attributes of body and spirit are normal and solidified values, while supernatural power is just a consumable resource value.
To use a game analogy, you need to consume a little attack power and a little health limit to synthesize a little mana. Is this reasonable?!
"Synthesizing extraordinary substances will actually cause my physical and mental strength to decrease?"
Li Heng sighed helplessly, which meant that he had to continue to practice, exercise, and evolve so that his body and spirit would continue to grow in order to meet the need to consume extraordinary power.
Fortunately, the consumption of extraordinary power is not that huge. Every time the air blast fist is used, it only uses two points.
His normal strengthening speed can increase his physical and mental strength by an average of about ten points per week, and if he gets more aggressive, it can increase to fifteen points.
If all of it is used to synthesize extraordinary matter, that would be fifteen points of extraordinary power, which can launch seven air blast punches.
And this also requires considering the issue of trade-offs, whether to choose to continue to grow physically and mentally, or to transform into extraordinary power, or to balance the two.
Li Heng has always disliked extreme thinking, so he would still choose a balanced approach.
Looking at it this way, extraordinary abilities are quite valuable, and you cannot use them without any restrictions.
"Tsk~ Those three punches just now made me feel a little distressed..."
I used up six points of extraordinary power at once, which is almost the amount I can save by strengthening myself for about three days.
Li Heng has always been a frugal person, and these three punches are a bit extravagant, but fortunately, he has figured out the general nature of [Air Explosion Fist] just by relying on these three experimental punches, which can be regarded as a success.
Harvest.
Of course, compared to this, what really made him feel happy from the bottom of his heart was that the [extraordinary] shackles were truly opened!
For such a long time in the past, he has never been able to understand and touch the "supernatural" that is now really before his eyes. No matter how simple and rough it is for the time being, there is a qualitative difference compared to before.
In the previous evolutionary path, no matter how he researched, studied and explored, as long as he failed to truly touch the extraordinary, his strengthening would always come to an end.
There are always obstacles called life science rules. The closer we approach the biological limit, the more we can understand the upper limit of life forms such as humans, animals, and even carbon-based organisms.
Under the shackles of the laws of biological evolution that have lasted for billions of years, the level of life intensity that a single individual can achieve has long been limited.
Countless civilizations have fantasized about extraordinary power - to call for wind and rain, to sow beans into soldiers, to move mountains and seas, to travel across the blue sea and the sky at dusk, to see the blue sky and climb into the sun...
It is precisely because the infinite thoughts are imprisoned in a small and ordinary body that all kinds of fantasies are born - the world is vast and boundless, and this small body is so pitiful.
Even out of this kind of thinking, some people suffer from "cosmic phobia", or "world phobia".
That is, whenever you watch some information or videos about the universe, the starry sky, the world, celestial bodies, etc., once you realize the terrifying huge order of magnitude, and realize the incalculable gap between your own existence and it.
, will create a sense of emptiness in life in an instant.
What is the meaning of this life? What is the meaning of oneself? What is the meaning of life? What is the meaning of human beings? In comparison, even the entire human civilization is as dusty as dust, and then fear arises in the void, fear of things like the "universe" and "world"
Waiting for these concepts of things that actually exist but are huge in magnitude.
This is the cruelty of reality. The universe allows the wisdom born in it to recognize the universe itself, but it also gives this wisdom a container with huge limitations.
All attempts to transcend the ordinary will eventually decay in the ordinary.
Li Heng, who was sitting on the top of the mountain, let out a long sigh, and white condensed mist sprayed out from his mouth and nose, shining brightly under the moonlight.
He sat cross-legged on the rock and lowered his head to see various villages in Pingshan Town, including the small village where he was raised.
Look at the lights at the bottom of the mountain, and look up at the stars in the sky.
The two are so similar and yet so far apart.
Li Heng has slowly stretched out his hands, his left hand downwards to hold the village light in his palm, and his right hand upwards to touch the few stars. At this moment, he seems to be the medium that carries the lights and starlight.
Finally, he returned his gaze from the sky to the earth. Villages and fields, lights and smoke, chickens and dogs crowing, pedestrians, farmers, and all living beings all caught his eyes and ears.
"I grew up in the ordinary, but I want to transcend the ordinary. Am I wishful thinking?"
"If I want to transcend the ordinary, do I have to abandon everything in the ordinary?"
"If I abandon everything ordinary, can I achieve the extraordinary?"
With the three questions in his mind, Li Heng sat down again with his eyes closed, just like an old monk entering meditation, while at the same time harmonizing his inner breath and sorting out the five qi.
Sitting on the top of this barren mountain lasted all night.
