Chapter 52: Secret Realm

"Thud!"

Shi Yan could no longer maintain his inverted position and fell to the ground, breathing heavily.

Strands of strange negative energy, invisible to the naked eye but perceptible only through the mind, quietly escaped from the acupoints in his head, like threads.

These negative energies coiled and intertwined in his mind, mixing with his nerve fibers.

Piercing pain instantly spread through his mind.

This pain, like an electric current, radiated from Shi Yan's head, quickly spreading throughout his body, activating all his acupoints.

In just three short seconds!

All the acupoints in Shi Yan's body released a thick negative energy.

The negative forces from the acupoints continuously circulated through his body's meridians, slowly spreading to his flesh, bones, cells, and internal organs.

It seemed as if real electric currents were coursing through his body. While the pain in his head remained intense, his limbs began to gradually shrink and wither.

A faint white mist began to seep out from his pores...

Soon, a circle of pale mist appeared around him, filled with a bloodthirsty aura and a seductive, evil power!

After all the negative forces were released from his acupoints, Shi Yan had lost a full third of his body weight!

Standing there, his body was emaciated, filled with a terrifying killing aura that condensed and lingered around him, almost tangible.

At this moment, the pain in his mind suddenly and strangely disappeared.

Opening his eyes, Shi Yan suddenly felt his nerves become extremely sensitive, his thoughts clear and sharp, and his ability to calculate greatly enhanced. Even his thinking speed seemed to have increased.

He maintained an extremely calm state, his mind unprecedentedly clear!

The threads of negative energy in his mind seemed to have combined with his nerve fibers in a peculiar way, making his body extremely sensitive!

Standing there, he could even feel the changes in the negative forces within his flesh, clearly perceiving how much additional power these changes would bring.

At this moment, he seemed to have become a cold machine, devoid of human emotions, with only thoughts of how to kill his opponents most quickly and efficiently.

He was undoubtedly terrifying at this moment!

All杂乱的念头 were cast aside, leaving only the thought of killing. Every thought in his mind was based on the premise of killing the enemy.

At this moment, he had no mercy, no concerns, and no reservations.

"Breath, breath!"

Shi Yan panted heavily, like a bloodthirsty beast, his eyes cold and devoid of human emotion, as if searching for a target to devour.

"Stop!"

With a roar in his mind, Shi Yan used his strong will to draw the white mist back into his acupoints.

Suddenly, he sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and restrained himself, clearing his mind of all thoughts of killing, allowing the strange negative energy to slowly return to the acupoints in his head.

After a long time.

Shi Yan exhaled evenly, his fatigue slowly dissipating, and he opened his eyes.

At this moment, his eyes had returned to their clear and deep state, no longer filled with the absolute cold and bloodthirsty chill.

First Stage of Berserk!

Only at this moment did Shi Yan realize what the true first stage of Berserk was like.

The changes in his mind were even more direct and terrifying than the changes in his body!

He believed that in this state, he would become the most cold-blooded killing machine, able to better unleash his body's potential.

In this state, he seemed to have no emotions, only a heart of killing. All his thoughts were centered on how to kill more quickly and efficiently, absolutely cold and ruthless!

Terrifying!

Shi Yan, now recovered, couldn't help but exclaim at the thought of that strange state.

It was at this moment that he realized his initial training direction had been wrong.

The training for "Berserk" should have started with the mind. The completion of "Berserk" was driven by changes in the brain. Once the brain's "Berserk" began, the entire body would follow.

His previous training started with his limbs, gradually covering his entire body, and only when he had transformed his body did he slowly impact the acupoints in his brain.

Clearly, his original method was incorrect, which is why he had suddenly fainted during several intense training sessions.

With this, the final step of Berserk training was finally completed...

Exhausted, Shi Yan had no strength left to practice the "Finger Gun Technique." He had to sit where he was, allowing the "Undying Martial Soul" in his body to recover from the side effects of Berserk.

After one full cycle, he had recovered some of his essence, and he tried to impact the blood pattern ring on his finger again.

In recent days, he had frequently attempted to break through the barrier of the blood pattern ring, hoping to discover more secrets within it.

Unfortunately, each attempt had been in vain. Even at the Third Stage of Innate, he couldn't break through even a small barrier.

The sharp essence was repelled when it touched the barrier within the blood pattern ring.

The essence receded like a tide, and Shi Yan stood up helplessly, walking to the corner of the gravity room. He took out the spirit-level martial technique called "Magnetic Domain Field" from his backpack.

Sitting in the corner, Shi Yan frowned, flipping through the dark yellow pages of the scripture.

At this moment, Shi Yan was secretly grateful to the original owner of this body. If it weren't for this person's deep knowledge of ancient texts, he wouldn't have been able to understand the content.

In the vast Shi family, it seemed that no one else was proficient in this type of ancient script.

Fortunately, the original owner had passed on all his knowledge of ancient texts to Shi Yan. Otherwise, Shi Yan would have had to find a specialist in ancient texts to help translate the content.

This was a spirit-level martial technique.

He had kept the information about this spirit-level martial technique secret from even Shi Jian and Yang Hai. If the translator were to leak the information, it would cause countless troubles.

...

One by one, the ancient characters that others found difficult to understand were silently read by Shi Yan.

The scripture wasn't very thick, only twenty-seven pages. Soon, Shi Yan had read all the ancient characters in the scripture.

Closing the scripture, Shi Yan's expression was strange as he muttered, "This spirit-level martial technique is truly interesting. It actually requires different types of energy in the body to be practiced."

The cultivation of this spirit-level martial technique had no restrictions on cultivation levels but had special requirements for energy.

Although it was a spirit-level martial technique, both postnatal and innate realm martial artists could practice it.

The only condition for practicing it was that the practitioner must have at least two different types of energy in their body!

Only the collision and impact of two different types of energy could create a "domain field." The "domain field" had the magical ability to distort space, collapse it, and generate a strong pulling force.

Once a "domain field" appeared, it would pull anyone other than the user into it.

Those pulled into the "domain field" would involuntarily spin under its influence, their flesh would be compressed, and even their essence would be affected, making it impossible to smoothly release martial techniques.

According to the author of the "Magnetic Domain Field," the more types of energy the practitioner possessed, the more powerful the "domain field" would be.

If there were three or four different types of energy mixed to form the "domain field," it could even directly kill a martial artist at the Hundred Tribulations stage!

If the "domain field" contained five different types of energy, even a martial artist at the Position stage would be doomed upon entering it!

Holding the scripture, Shi Yan pondered for a moment, his eyes gradually brightening, and he suddenly chuckled softly.

Normal martial artists had only one type of essence in their bodies. Only those with special martial souls could have an additional type of energy different from essence, like Di Yalan, who had the "Blue Demon Flame" martial soul.

Clearly, most martial artists couldn't practice this strange spirit-level martial technique because very few people had two or even three different types of energy in their bodies.

But Shi Yan was one of that small group. The negative energy that flowed from his acupoints was different from his essence.

He could practice it directly.
