"Please follow me in practicing the first stage of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art...." The figure of light's ordered mechanically once more.
"No way!" Qin Fen firmly refused the figure of light's order. Paleo martial arts was not something that could be casually cultivated. One mistake and the cultivator would die practicing. In such bizarre circumstances, God knows whether or not his subconscious mind had randomly invented a martial arts from wishing to become stronger.
Though Qin Fen only cultivated in the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, he had seen other cultivation arts and methods. The Dragon Elephant Prajna Art he saw the figure of light perform contained circulation channels similar to that of the Golden Bell Shield. There were also some parts that were similar to the circulation channel's of the Heavenly Birds Art evasion techniques.
Similar! They were merely similar! The more Qin Fen watched the less he dared to practice it. Shadows and traces of the government publicized free martial arts could be seen in this so-called Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, but there were indeed many differences.
He had seen these martial arts in every day life, and he had the egotistical idea to fuse these thirty free martial arts in one. Certainly it was because of this that tonight he dreamed such a crazy dream.
"The trained body refused to cultivate. Employing passive cultivation methods...."
Before Qin Fen could understand what were passive cultivation methods, the figure of light instantly dispersed into points of light before his eyes.
The points of light acted like locusts, instantly rushing into Qin Fen's body, rapidly amassing within.
"This...."
Qin Fen suddenly discovered that he had lost control of his body. The points of light on his body forcefully mobilized the force of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art within his body. The force followed the extremely complicated version of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, beginning the circulation for cultivation.
Resistance.... Failure.... Resistance again.... Failure again....
Qin Fen really was terrified now. He wanted to wake from this bizarre dream, but he had not even a hint of a means to wake up. No matter how he strove to control his jaw to bite down on his tongue, wishing to forcefully wake himself through pain, the result was merely hearing the figure of light's mechanical voice.
"This is the first step, forging the foundation. The host will not be able to awaken before this is complete. Please give up the meaningless actions."
Host? Damn it all! Qin Fen shrieked in his heart. He should have known to agree with Lin Liqiang's invitation and go have a free dinner. His friend would have been able to think of a way to help were he to faint in that situation.
"Please do not be distracted. The emotional fluctuations are too large, slowing the progress. There is a five percent chance that this will cause a failure in cultivation...."
Failure? Qin Fen suddenly became filled with energy. He would be freed as long as the cultivation failed.
"Failure in cultivation will lead to a paralyzed body...."
Qin Fen couldn't hear what else the figure of light said, but just this alone was enough for him to shiver in his hands and feet and give up all resistance.
Resistance was assured death. He might not die from the bizarre Dragon Elephant Prajna Art if he doesn't resist. Might as well stake it all and resist no longer! Just follow and cultivate!
With his mind set, Qin Fen soon immersed himself in cultivation, following the figure of light's guidance....
"Speed of mental concentration is top-notch.... The calculated potential needs to be increased.... The host can be molded to be extremely strong...." The figure of light spoke once more in an analysis. Qin Fen, immersed in cultivating the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, didn't hear the figure of light's evaluation.
Circulate the energy.... Circulate the energy.... Execute the art.... Execute the art....
Qin Fen was completely immersed in cultivating the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art. This art was much more complex than the original art. The challenges in training were much more difficult than the original version. The feeling was like using the body's power to slowly push an enormous stone forward.
But for some unknown reason, Qin Fen discovered that he was totally in love with this extremely difficult art since he beginning! And he instinctively believed that this was the true form of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art.
It was unknown just how many times slower it took Qin Fen to perform one cycle of circulation and execution compared to the figure of light.
Qin Fen woke up from his meditative state after performing one complete cycle. He suddenly discovered that his body was drenched with sweat, as if he had been fished up after being tossed in a lake.
Was this really a dream? Qin Fen had his doubts. Could someone feel this tired from exhaustion within a dream?
Please perform the second cycle of circulation and execution...."
"Second cycle?" Qin Fen watched the figure of light opposite of him with shock. Even though his willpower and fortitude was stronger than that of a normal person, there was still a limit for him. This single cycle left him with not even the strength to raise an arm, yet the figure of light wanted him to circulate and execute the second cycle.
"Fatigue is the best enhance, please do not waste it."
Qin Fen gave a light nod of his head; he agreed with this point. He tempered himself through these years by following such methods.
But he also knew when to stop before going too far. It was easy to overwork oneself and die when over practicing an art. It wasn't a good thing to be overly diligent.
"The cultivator has refused. Activating passive...."
"No, it's okay!" Qin Fen hurriedly said, the possessed state he was in just now made his body feel as if he were stabbed with hundreds of steel needles. It was something he didn't want to re-experience.
Unable to disobey the figure of light, Qin Fen could only comply and sit cross legged as he once again circulated and executed the bizarre Dragon Elephant Prajna Art.
Outside the dream, the Qin Fen lying on the bed could be seen with the muscles of his entire body spasming. Sweat endlessly came pouring out from his pores, but there weren't any signs of dehydration at all.
The sun illuminated the earth once more, but Qin Fen, still lying on the bed, showed no signs of waking up.
"Okay, already! I've already circulated and executed three cycles! This is enough, right?"
Qin Fen lay in the empty space, feeling shocked himself. Originally, he believed that he was incapable of persevering through a second cycle, yet he was actually able to persevere through a third cycle.
Of course, all of this was done under the figure of light's coercion.
Qin Fen never believed himself to be a lazy person. Enzo Rota and Lin Liqiang shared the same feelings on this as well. Qin Fen was just like his name; he was extremely diligent.
But the degree of this diligence was tantamount to laziness of the figure of light's eyes. This point was very hard for Qin Fen to accept.
"Excellent. Cultivator, please execute the fourth cycle...." The figure of light sounded once more in a tone that would never change even in a thousand years.
Qin Fen was really mad now. He didn't know how long he had spent in this bizarre space, but extrapolating from how long each cycle took, he believed that it should be dawn by now.
