I Have Unparalleled Comprehension

Chapter 12

Conjecture About the Golden Finger

[Bone Breaking Mental Cultivation Technique detected.]

[The types of mental cultivation techniques overlap.]

[Bone Breaking Mental Cultivation Technique + Slaughter Mental Cultivation Technique.]

[Fusion in progress…]

[Fusion successful!]

[You studied the nameless book. After fusing it, you comprehended the Breaking Slaughter Mental Cultivation Technique.

Xu Bai: “…”

He really wanted to say that this naming was really casual…

The word “Breaking” was taken from the Bone Breaking Mental Cultivation Technique and the word “Slaughter” was taken from the Slaughter Mental Cultivation Technique.

After combining the two, it became the Breaking Slaughter Mental Cultivation Technique.

The blue words began to disappear, transforming into a ray of light that was absorbed into Xu Bai’s mind.

In the next moment, a large amount of information surged over. At the same time, the Genuine Qi in Xu Bai’s body began to strengthen. Soon, it became more than twice as strong as before.

When the information flooded in, Xu Bai finally understood what it meant to have the Mental Cultivation Technique fused.

In the past, the Bone Breaking Mental Cultivation Technique was actually not high-level. It was already not bad that it was able to enter the edge of grade nine.

This was because the Bone Breaking Mental Cultivation Technique was a combination of the Bone Breaking Saber Technique. It could even be said that the Bone Breaking Saber Technique was the main technique, and the Bone Breaking Mental Cultivation Technique was the supplementary technique.

Hence, even though Xu Bai had entered grade nine, he was only on the verge of it.

The Slaughter Mental Cultivation Method was different. Slaughter Mental Cultivation Technique was a mental cultivation method that was even more inclined towards combat.

In battle, every time he killed a person, he could seize the other party’s Genuine Qi and temporarily attach it to his body for his own use.

Although it was a temporary addition, the essence of this cultivation technique could be seen.

It was more inclined to battle, and a life-and-death battle.

However, the extracted Genuine Qi would not be much. Perhaps it was because the level of this cultivation technique was not high.

Thinking of this, a blue panel appeared in front of Xu Bai.

[Name: Xu Bai.]

[Realm: Grade Nine Martial Artist.]

[Bone Breaking Saber Technique (Rank 1): Maximum level.]

[Breaking Slaughter Mental Cultivation Technique (Rank 1.5): Maximum level.]

[Kidney Massage Technique (Rank 1): Maximum level.]

[Comprehension: Maximum level.]

…

“There’s a lot of information today.”

Xu Bai thought to himself as he sized up the light blue panel.

Through obtaining the Slaughter Mental Cultivation Technique, he had gained a lot. What he gained was not only limited to the cultivation technique, but also about his understanding of the golden finger.

First of all, skills of the same type would be fused. This could be seen from the Slaughter Mental Cultivation Technique and the Bone Breaking Mental Cultivation Technique.

Secondly, fusion was not as simple as one plus one equals two.

The Rank 1 Bone Breaking Cultivation Method was a low-level cultivation method. The Rank 1 Slaughter Cultivations Method could be considered a high-level cultivation method. However, after fusing them together, it did not reach the Rank 2 like he had imagined. Xu Bai did not become a grade eight martial artist either.

Actually, after thinking about it carefully, it made sense.

For example, Rank 2 was like a piece of carefully made sweet bean curd.

The Slaughter Mental Cultivation Technique was a high-quality tofu pudding that had not been meticulously made. On the other hand, the Bone Breaking Mental Cultivation Technique was a low-quality bean curd pudding. When the two were combined, could they become a carefully made sweet tofu pudding?

Impossible!

He had an idea, but he didn’t know how effective it would be.

If he found low-level cultivation techniques to comprehend and let them fuse continuously, even if cultivation techniques each increased by 0.1, it would be a considerable increase when they were accumulated.

Of course, there was a question of whether it was worth it.

He needed time to comprehend it. If the total time cost was inferior to directly comprehending a high-level mental cultivation technique, there was no need to go to such lengths.

“Let’s decide on it first. We’ll do the experiment when the time comes.” Xu Bai made up his mind.

If there was a chance, he would give it a try.

However, there was something more important at the moment.

—Eat, and look at the beauty.

No, to be precise, looking at the maple leaf tattoo on the beauty’s hand.

Last night, the golden progress bar on the back of Yun Xiang’s hand could also be comprehended. Xu Bai naturally did not want to let it go.

Now, he was hungry and wanted to eat. It was reasonable to take a look while eating.

After changing his clothes, Xu Bai put the Ghost Head Saber on his waist and went out to eat.

…

The streets were still bustling with people.

It was March and the weather was at its best. It felt like spring everywhere on the streets.

The passerby would occasionally gossip. When Xu Bai heard them, he understood that the corpses of those people had been discovered.

The people from the county office went over and took a casual look before sending someone to bury them in the mass grave.

They were not citizens of the county and carried sabers. The county magistrate immediately recognized them as people from the martial world and did not ask further. He was even too lazy to investigate.

“This world only looks peaceful,” Xu Bai thought as he walked.

The Emperor of the Great Chu Country treated the commoners extremely well. He also issued an iron law. Those who dared to harm the commoners in the city would definitely be investigated to the end.

However, the Emperor turned a blind eye to the matters of the martial world.

“To be clear, you martial world people may fight and kill, but you’re not allowed to attack ordinary people under my watch. Moreover, don’t make the matter too big. If you make it too big, I’ll take action.

Thinking about the current situation, the Emperor of the Great Chu Country was very smart to play such a trick.

The generals guarded the border. They had to deal with the barbarians at the western border and also be wary of the Great Yue State in the south. How could they be distracted?

The scholars were in charge of the affairs of the court and wanted peace in the world. They were also dealing with the common people.

Only the people from the martial world were difficult to manage.

Xu Bai estimated that the Emperor had lost his previous imposing manner.

Back when the Great Chu was first established, it dared to fight anything, making the entire martial world afraid.

But now that its foundation was big, the Emperor had many things to consider and think about.

The Emperor was also very happy with this act of Jianghu people against Jiang Hu people.

However, Xu Bai felt that something was amiss.

What if the people from the martial world couldn’t control themselves? What would they use to keep them in check?

The Generals?

The barbarians from the west and the Great Yue Kingdom would laugh so hard that their mouths would crack.

The scholars?

The scholars of Confucianism were certainly good at fighting. They were the kind of people who could not reason and used their fists to beat people into submission.

However, all the scholars were governing the country and managing the livelihood of the people. They could not possibly let the scholars change positions, right?

Xu Bai finally knew what was missing.

What was lacking was a certain organization that specialized in managing these people. Or rather, even if there was one, the original host’s level had been so low that he was not qualified to come into contact with it.

As he thought about it, he arrived at the inn.

Shaking his head to get rid of the thoughts in his mind, Xu Bai walked into the inn with a smile on his face.

The inn was still as lively as yesterday. There were diners everywhere.

As soon as Xu Bai entered, the waiter walked out.

Most of the waiters in the inn were quick-witted. They saw Xu Bai at a glance and recalled that this guest had been generous yesterday. They hurriedly lowered their heads and bowed, leading Xu Bai to the inn.

“I’ll have the same as what I had yesterday,” Xu Bai said after taking a sip of tea.

“Alright!” The waiter said and left with a cloth on his shoulder.

After the waiter left, Xu Bai looked around and finally saw that very smooth figure.

Yun Xiang was standing at the counter, calculating with her head lowered.

In such a huge inn, Xu Bai did not see an accountant. It seemed that Yun Xiang was also in charge.

From time to time, someone would pay the bill. The waiter went to the kitchen and quickly came out to bring the money to the counter.

Yun Xiang was very serious in her calculations. She held a brush in her hand, and the red maple leaf on the back of her hand appeared and disappeared.

Xu Bai stared at the back of Yun Xiang’s hand, and a golden progress bar appeared.
