Chapter 18

PS: Newbie seeking favorites and recommendations.

What are my principles? After much consideration, I found that my principles are rather vague, without specific things or events, just a feeling in my heart that this is right.

But my bottom line is very clear: to ensure my survival and to live without being bullied.

Lin Xiao understood a long time ago that only a strong heart makes a person strong.

However, the laziness and contentment with the status quo in his nature are very difficult to change.

They say that it's easy to change the江山 (江山 refers to the country or the world, but in this context, it means one's nature or character) but hard to change one's nature, and this nature is the fundamental reason.

However, an accidental fusion has made Lin Xiao what he is now. His power has grown, but he himself is in a state of confusion.

Born an orphan, the only reason Lin Xiao can control the surging power is because of his cautiousness.

In this era of relying on one's background, if Lin Xiao didn't have these two words, he would have been devoured long ago.

Everyone has a small group mentality, which is that good things should be kept and used privately, perhaps passed down to the next generation. However, they are not very willing to contribute them selflessly to others.

Because it concerns life and death, Lin Xiao has recently started to change his contentment with the status quo, but the laziness is something he will never change in his life.

Lin Xiao also began to reflect on himself, wondering if he has become restless because of the power, losing the calmness he used to have.

Recalling the time since he obtained the space, he has been busy searching for energy because his life and energy are linked. He eagerly broke through the fourth level, and although he succeeded, problems arose.

Since experiencing the feeling of power, he found that he couldn't stop. This adventurous breakthrough is a proof. He could have waited, but because his mindset became increasingly restless, he made the adventurous decision.

He needs to face this mindset, which is not good. Perhaps passion can make him restless, but cultivation requires a calm and composed approach, step by step.

Lin Xiao reflected and warned himself that he must not make the same mistake again. If it weren't for his good luck and the remaining 0.3% of energy, he would have been dead.

The days passed quickly in reflection and cultivation. Lin Xiao has been practicing the Breaking Fist, which is almost at the minor success stage, already able to attach to the surface of his fists. However, the last small step is the hardest. Although he can now attach it to the surface of his fists, the attack power is much weaker.

To transform the Yu energy into a conical shape, turning the formless energy into the desired shape is a qualitative change from quantitative change.

Due to the impact of Yu energy, the pores on his hands have become finer, and his skin is rosy and more delicate than a woman's.

Looking at his greatly changed hands with a mix of amusement and frustration, he could only go with the flow.

However, the strength of these hands is several times greater than before, which is an unexpected gain for Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao felt that he only needed a breakthrough to truly achieve minor success in the Breaking Fist. More hard practice wouldn't make much difference.

He gave up the idea of continuing to practice hard. In the past few days, he had been busy with cultivation and forgot that the space was the main focus.

After breaking through the fourth level, he can truly use the space, unlike before when he could only watch the plants die or evolve naturally. Now, with energy, he can transform or mutate plants.

Looking at the lonely 0.3% of energy in his mind, Lin Xiao felt a cold splash of water, sighing deeply, "Sigh... If I don't get more energy soon, I only have a little over a year left to live."

However, without achieving the Breaking Fist, it's impossible to seize the huge meteorite surrounded by fierce beasts, trapping him in a vicious cycle.

To find a breakthrough, Lin Xiao wandered around every morning, on the streets, in the park, and on the roads, seeking inspiration. In the evening, he strolled in the square, watching the groups of aunties and uncles doing fitness dances.

"Ha ha, this is it, no doubt about it," Lin Xiao laughed and shouted, as if no one else was around.

Indeed, by slowly dispelling his restlessness and calmly observing everything around him, Lin Xiao found the key.

It's vibration. To form a conical shape, only vibration can lead the energy to move, gradually forming a sharp point.

Maintaining high-speed vibration, the Breaking Fist can break through all obstacles, truly living up to its name.

The inspiration came from a gardener in the park. When the gardener used the lawn mower to cut the grass, Lin Xiao saw the power brought by kinetic energy, which made him think of the current Breaking Fist and Yu energy.

The same principle: originally, the compressed Yu energy had already calmed down. Now, making it violate the rules and start moving is the key to achieving minor success.

In the future, many people can make Yu energy attach to the surface of their fists, but no one can achieve the level of the Breaking Fist.

The most critical part is to control the Yu energy on the fists, making them rub and vibrate against each other, forming a high-speed cutting action, slicing and splitting any object or item they touch.

During the collision, the conical shape naturally forms.

This is the Breaking Fist. Understanding it is simple, but those who don't understand will never get it.

Eagerly finding a place where no one could see him, he began to experiment with his new idea.

Making the calm Yu energy move is not an easy task. The stability of Yu energy is very good, otherwise, it wouldn't be used for energy cultivation.

Lin Xiao focused all his attention on his fists, controlling his Yu energy, and began to make his fists collide.

His mind split into two, controlling the Yu energy on both sides of the fists to rub against each other.

'Swish'

In a few seconds, the uncontrolled Yu energy dissipated.

'Really possible,' Lin Xiao thought with surprise. He felt that his approach was correct, but his control of Yu energy was lacking. Undeterred, Lin Xiao continued to practice.

'Clap'

After countless failures, Lin Xiao finally managed to perfectly control the Yu energy in his body, successfully making the colliding fists vibrate with energy.

Looking at his open hands, Lin Xiao's eyes were filled with excitement.

"Finally, a small step forward. Next is the experiment with one hand," Lin Xiao said to himself.

He began a new round of practice, first controlling a small part of the Yu energy to rub and vibrate against each other.

Then, he gradually made all the Yu energy vibrate, finally forming the conical shape of the Breaking Fist.

Each failure brought Lin Xiao closer to success, and every failure was a step forward.

"Ha ha, finally succeeded," Lin Xiao looked at his hands, feeling a great sense of accomplishment as he finally broke through to the minor success stage of the Breaking Fist.

As the sun set, Lin Xiao slowly finished his practice with a bright smile.

He had basically consolidated and digested his recent gains.
