Chapter 776: Reformatting!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“What a terrifying domain! What kind of concept does it follow?” The domain realm master beside Ling Lan shouted in surprise. He was also completely surprised by Li Lanfeng’s odd yet terrifying domain.
Ling Lan didn’t make a sound. She seemed to have figured something out. The reason why Li Lanfeng could feel the advancement barrier for the domain stage while he was only at the peak stage of Qi-Jin. It wasn’t necessary for him to strengthen his body to break through the barrier to advance, instead, Li Lanfeng’s terrifying spiritual power had already surpa.s.sed his mindscape’s capacity. His spiritual power managed to reach the barrier of the domain stage before his body could.
After thinking about that, Ling Lan was worried. If Li Lanfeng hadn’t listened to her words and didn’t keep on practicing the basic physical skills training to make him able to endure the pain, his current situation might be even worse. Luckily, when he met her in the real world, his spiritual power hadn’t reached a level that could destroy his body. After the timely training of the meditation technique, he managed to improve the condition of his battered body.
If anything had gone wrong, what awaited Li Lanfeng was a lifetime of being bed-ridden. He would just be like Ling Lan in her past life. Even if he had the meditation technique, it would all be for naught.
In actuality, in the Li family’s manor, Ling Lan had already felt that Li Lanfeng’s spiritual power had reached his capacity when she was calming down Li Lanfeng’s spiritual power. She originally wanted to wait until the mission was over to think of a method to let Li Lanfeng quickly advance to Qi-Jin with Great Perfection then to the domain stage.
It was just that Ling Lan didn’t think that Li Lanfeng wasn’t willing to wait! After noticing Li Lanfeng had followed them, she knew Li Lanfeng’s decision. Ling Lan thought about it and decided to give Li Lanfeng the same opportunity as her childhood friends.
Looking at all the possible scenario, Li Lanfeng’s decision wasn’t the best choice in Ling Lan’s eyes. However, Ling Lan wasn’t going to decide anything for her friends. If Li Lanfeng wanted to fight, then what Ling Lan needed to do was to trust him. This was why Ling Lan tossed Li Lanfeng into the fray. She used that move to tell Li Lanfeng that she supported his decision.
Sometimes, you should just blindly support and trust your friends! These would give them strength in the most dangerous and difficult times. Ling Lan could only help Li Lanfeng in this aspect. The dangerous path of advancing required Li Lanfeng’s own strength to walk.
Now, the result of her decision was ideal. Li Lanfeng had become the first person to realize the way to successfully advance into the domain stage. The only thing she has a nit to pick about Li Lanfeng’s advancement was that it was too rushed. His body still hadn’t reached the requirements of advancing to the domain stage. Advancing up more than one stage like that would inevitably have severe consequences. She was just hoping that the consequences would be mended in the future and wasn’t permanent.
With Ling Lan being in the domain stage for quite a long time, she would clearly understand the two clear requirements of advancing to domain. One was physical const.i.tution and the other was spiritual power.
The Federation placed a high degree of high importance on physical skills because of mechas, while spiritual power was regarded as unimportant. The reason why most individual with strong spiritual power would seem to be diseased and weak was because of their lack of physical skills training. When it was known that a person has a weak physical const.i.tution, the Federation would always try to treat and heal them, but would not train their physical skills. Furthermore, the Federation would usually just let them be responsible for jobs related to spiritual power and wouldn’t let them operate mechas… Thus, creating a phenomenon where the stronger the spiritual power of an individual, the weaker their physical const.i.tution was. And as their physical const.i.tution continue to weaken, treatment centers became more and more afraid to treat them as they didn’t want their records filled with incurable patients which ultimately lowers the reputation of the treatment center. This was why those individuals with insanely strong spiritual power could never be an outstanding mecha operator.
Thus, it wasn’t because those Qi-Jin experts, who were stuck at the optimal peak stage of Qi-Jin with Great Perfection, didn’t get any chance to advance. Instead, it was because their spiritual power hadn’t reached the lowest requirement to advance into the domain stage, so how could they succeed?
Of course, this didn’t mean that those people wouldn’t be able to advance to the domain stage forever. If the Qi-Jin in their bodies reached the point of over-capacity, it would naturally break through the barrier, and thus allowing them into the domain stage. However, the concept they would be derived based on their bodies. For example, speed, strength, etc. It wouldn’t give them any concept regarding natural elements of the world.
The domain realm masters who had concept bound to nature, along with strong bodies, were people whose physical const.i.tution and spiritual power had both reached the requirement. These people were usually born with level two spiritual power. Babies that had spiritual power past level 3 always had weak bodies. These children would be nurtured towards the spiritual direction and wouldn’t be considered for mecha operators. This was why during the talent determination procedure many years ago, spiritual power was a part of the test.
At the same time, if spiritual power was so strong that the mind could not contain, then even if physical skills hadn’t reached that level, it would still break through the barrier and advance to the domain stage. However, this type of advancement would bring about a large backlash to the body. While advancing to the domain stage, the physical body could be destroyed by the concept of the domain, and in the end become dust in the air and perish.
However, someone like Li Lanfeng, who had spiritual power that was so terrifying that only one person like him would appear every few hundred years, would usually die as they were born. Those types of babies wouldn’t reach the point where their spiritual power would seep out from their bodies.
Due to Li Lanfeng’s body not reaching the requirement and his spiritual power breaking through the barrier, Li Lanfeng’s domain concept was derived from his spiritual power. He was originally a spectral ability individual. After deriving this concept, he could turn anything into virtual objects within his domain.
Ling Lan had already determined Li Lanfeng’s domain concept with just one look. On the battlefield, Li Lanfeng raised his black scythe and swung it towards the fake domain realm master.
“Ah!” That fake domain realm master wanted to get away from the twisted dimensions around Li Lanfeng, but his strength wasn’t comparable to a domain realm master who advanced naturally. The scythe easily sliced past his body. Then, his body began to crumble into little particles and started dispersing without leaving any traces. It was as though he never existed in this world.
“That’s reformatting!” Little Four cried out with surprise. If someone was to say what intelligent ent.i.ties feared most, then Little Blossom’s power of devouring data was one. The second one was the reformatting of all of the data in the virtual network they lived in. These two both would severely affect the way of life for intelligent ent.i.ties and was something intelligent ent.i.ties never wanted to see.
“As expected, it’s this power!” Little Four’s words made Ling Lan certain of her judgment. Li Lanfeng’s power was as expected a derivative of his spectral abilities. In his domain, Li Lanfeng was a reaper of death that could reformat everything!
Right at that moment, something changed in the battlefield. A silhouette suddenly appeared behind Li Lanfeng. A gold colored hand was going straight towards his unguarded back.
“Bam!” Ling Lan’s hand suddenly appeared and accurately caught the opponent’s hand. She then coldly said, “You’re opponent is me!”
