Emperor of The Cosmos Chapter 118

Congenial Chi

“Guo Meng, was that really your friend? Jiang Li from Astral University?” After Jiang Li left, Xiao Feng had a face full of shock: “your best friend?”

“Yes.” Guo Meng nodded, still looking dazedly in the direction Jiang Li disappeard to. “We played together from when we were still little all the way to end of high school. He just gave me 1 million star coins before telling me to live a good life.”

“Wow, 1 million!” The two girls from Xiao Feng’s dorm all became excited, 1 million was an astronomical amount to them.

“If only he was my boyfriend, Guo Meng, Guo Meng, hook me up with him. Lets eat dinner with him tonight?” Youyou grabbed Guo Meng and asked desperately.

“Youyou don’t think about it. Jiang Li isn’t the same type of person as we are. He is high above us, almost like a god. There’s no way we can get close to him and be friends with him” The other girl was more calm.

“Sigh…” Youyou was full of regret and sighed: “Yes, we’re not the same type of person as he is. We’re just normal people. The essence of his life is different from ours. I really want to become like him.”

“He might not be so happy as well. The fatality rate for Astral University students is very high each year. The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. We can live a peaceful life without having to fight all the time in life and death situations. This is also a type of happiness.” Guo Meng walked up and pulled Xiao Feng’s hand: “Let’s go eat. I’m going to start my own company with this sum that Jiang Li had given me! I will make you live a happy life.”

Xiao Feng smiled and nodded walking while holding hands with Guo meng.

The different students each walked on a different path, fighting for their respective ideals.

On the path of life, everyone has their own decisions to make.

Jiang Li felt that amongst every living being, everyone was a story.

What was empty space? Because of what did people come from the empty space in to the mortal world?

After leaving Guo Meng, Jiang Li felt that he had come to understand something, but also could not really understand it all at the same time. He was a bit confused about this.

“Big brother, my life force broke through to 1!”

In the Safety building, his little sister Jiang Xuan suddenly jumped and glided to in front of Jiang Li like a sparrow gliding across the water’s surface.

“You’re improving so fast. Looks like a few years from now, you will definitely be able to enter Astral University.” Jiang Li looked at his sister with joy.

“Yes, my shifu purifies my body everyday. Now, I’m also an elementary hypnotist!” Jiang Xuan smiled. She opened a computer and showed her certificate saying proudly: “I already have a contract with the Safety Corporation. I can hypnotise 4 to 5 people everyday!”

“Little sister can also earn money now, I can safely let her take care of mum and dad.” Jiang Li felt relieved. The situation was completely different than it was from a year ago.

Jiang Xuan had officially Wang Kurong as her master and started to study martial arts as well as the spiritual techniques everyday. Within a few months time, her powers had already sky rocketed.

Wang Kurong was almost the strongest person within the 36 cities and was also one of the rare masters on earth. With his solid foundation, his powers changes overwhelming after he managed to find his dao.

“Jiang Li, come to the training room!”

A voice travelled in from the sky. It was Wang Kurong’s thought wave creating the effect of passing sound coming from thousands of miles away.

Of course, thousands of miles was an exaggeration. With Wang Kurong’s current spiritual prowess, he could only send his thought ten kilometers away.

This was a straight line’s distance. If it was in a circle, then the distance would only be a few kilometers.

If he was to improve once again and forms his holy fetus and reached fetal respiration, he would then be able to spread his thought over the entire city and also become a super hypnotist.

“Sister, you need to work hard at your cultivation.” Jiang Li said and disappeared from where he was. He was faster than the start up of a car, reaching 50 meters per second in a very short time.

Right now, he only took 2 seconds to run 100 meters.

With a life force of 2.5, he had overwhelming power and could already be called something of a superman. His strong body was like a super engine allowing his body to be able to defend even against machineries.

When he came to the training room, Wang Kurong was cultivating his physical capabilities. He seemed more and more youthful, looking as if he was now only 40 years old. He was authorative without being angry. In front of him, there was a wooden pole which was an arm’s wrist’s thick.

He stood within 5 steps and then suddenly inhaled. Then, he opened his mouth and a white gust shot out like a flying sword. In that instant, the wooden pole was then sliced in half.

“Killing people with the exhaling breath!”

Jiang Li looked, this was killing people with air.

“Indeed, this is the Taoist congenial chi and can be used to kill people. When the speed reaches a certain point, the air waves can rip apart the human body.” Wang Kurong had his hands behind his back: “Recently, my life force has reached 3. With your Emperor Wind Seal, I understood the true essence of speed. Therefore, I asked you to come over so that we can discuss this further. If you can grasp the secrets of the congenial chi, then you can also increase your damage multiple times.”

As he spoke, he sliced at the air with his palm.

Pang!

There was a gush of air waves.

Jiang Li just felt that the air around where Wang Kurong had struck had become like the waves in the ocean, forcing him to take a few steps back subconsciously.

Under this strong wave of air, the wooden pole exploded the air into pieces.

“Slicing Air Palm!” Jiang Li could tell that when Wang Kurong sliced with his palm, his body would undergo thousands of vibrations in that very instant. This condensed the air into a ball which he would then push out using an extreme speed and creating a strong air explosion. This then shattered the wooden pole through air.

This was a god-like martial art.

Jiang Li’s martial arts had to connect his fists onto the body of the opponents for it to be effective. Just the air waves comeing from it wasn’t enough to rip apart a human body much less shatter a wooden pole.

Meanwhile, Wang Kurong could use the explosive power to control the air flow and even shatter the wooden pole within five steps. His power and technique was many times better than Jiang Li’s.

Shua!

He waved his hand again and immediately, another wooden pole within five steps of him was sliced. The surface of it appeared smooth like a mirror.

“A wind Blade!”

Jiang Li’s eyes brightened once again. Just now, Wang Kurong had waved his handand used his hand as a blade to slice the air. The rapid speed of it created a wind blade that could slice the wooden pole.

Wang Kurong turned around and drew a circle in the air with his fists. Then, he pushed towards Jiang Li.

Immediately, Jiang Li like the air was pushing towards him, like there was a wall that was making him suffocate. He hurried to retreat until the air wall also disappeared.

This method of controlling air was almost magical.

“When your martial arts has reached a certain state, you can obtain magical effects if you control the air flow. In the sovereign state era, although martial arts masters were able to reach this state, their physical capabilities couldn’t keep up with it and their bodies couldn’t withhold the power of air waves either and thus they could not get the same effect of congenial chi. But now it is different, the human body can be stronger than even iron and steel.”

Wang Kurong said calmly: “Your body right now is very strong. With the cultivation of the Emperor Fire Seal as well as the genetic meat you eaten on planet Luo Sha, your body has by now become inpenetrably by knives and swords so you can barely use the congenial chi. It’s just that your technique isn’t very well grasped yet”

“My body is indeed very tought.” Jiang Li took out a sword from beside him and suddenly sliced at his arm.

The moment when the blade and his arm connected, his arm shook and this sword was shattered into many pieces.

If Jiang Li operated his cultivation techniques, his arm would be as strong as scales and could truly become impenetrable to sword and knives. But if it was those super sharp claw that alloys that could slice through metal ,he still wouldn’t be able to block that.

And, he felt that he definitely couldn’t defend against the air explosions and wind blades.

“Meng Xingyun who beat you in the ranked matches of Astral University grasped the essence of chi and can kill people through the air. The reason that you’re no match for him is that one inch longer, is one inch stronger.

Even if your attack range increased by one inch, that would be fatal in a brawl. I can tell you that Meng Xingyun’s congenial chi can kill people within ten steps of him. That means a distance of 4 to 5 meters. His attack range is 4 to 5 meters longer than yours. Even ten of you wouldn’t be a match for him.” Wang Kurong analysed.

Jiang Li went into a deep thought.

This was a real existing problem. Your fists would only be effective if they connected with the opponent’s body. Meanwhile, the opponent could damage you just by slicing air from 4 `or 5 meters away.

“In fact, your Emperor Wind Seal contains the true essence for chi but you still haven’t been able to understand it. This is such a pity.” Wang Kurong sighed: “With your body, you can use congenial chi that is effective within 3 steps. This is equivalent to gaining 1 meter of so attack range. The cultivation of congenial chi can also boost your strength. The wind makes the fire stronger! Emperor Wind Seal is a very strong martial art, if you pass on the basics and learn the profound arts straight away, then you wouldn’t be able to understand it. I have designed a set of cultivation method for congenial chi for you to learn. It is derived from the martial art of my Wang family [Tai Chi Chi Collection].”

As he spoke, Wang Kurong stood up on his feet and got into a horse stance. He reached out his arm and grabbed at the air.

Jiang Li immediately felt a gush of air had been grabbed by his hand. It actually turned into a ball and spun there for a second before dissipating.

Air seemed to have materialised on his hand. His speed was far too fast and could indeed grab the air.

When he grabbed, all the hair glands in his body opened up and closed. It seemed like a balloon that filled itself and deflated.

“Making intangible air into something solid. If you practise this slowly, you can cultivate the congenial chi.”

Wang Kurong explained this to him clearly, “Changing between inhaling and exhaling, your hair glands change, your organs breathe in and out. In the process of collecting chi, your body is like a wind pipe. It uses chi to wash your body and gradually works harden it. With the cultivation of the fire seal, I think your physical capabilities will still improve a lot within a month.”

Jiang Li immediately understood what had been told to him and also got into the same stance. He inhaled and exhaled grabbing the air. However, he could only grab the air into waves and ripple but couldn’t control it into a swirling ball in his hands.

“Take it slowly, this is also a type of cultivation. Your foundation techniques aren’t good so you can’t control the air. You can’t show the essence of the Emperor Wind Seal. Our Wang family’s [Tai Chi Chi Collection] is the best way to establish your foundation.” Wang Kurong had his hands behind his back: “if you cultivated on the Emperor Planet, the effects would be much better. It has three times Earth’s gravity and also contains spirit chi in its atmosphere. The air there is much better than Earth’s air. I believe that when you go to school, your teacher will teach you this on the first lesson. I wonder who your teacher will be? If it’s someone with a life force of ten, then he can use [Hundred Steps Magical Fists]. Within 100 steps, all trees and plants would be blasted away by the air wave created by his fists.

Jiang Li continued to cultivate the basic techniques.

[Tai Chi Chi Collection]

One grab one shake, one circle. The hands looked to be fluffy but actually contained tonnes of power. Only through this can you grab air into a spinning ball in that instant.

However, he grabbed the air for more than 10,000 times but still couldn’t get it to form itself into a ball.

Meanwhile, Wang Kurong continuously giving him pointers on the side.
