Chapter 199: Thousand Moon Slash

Chapter 199: Thousand Moon Slash

Li Yingzi walked over with a puzzled expression. “What are you talking about?”

Both of them looked at each other, and like friends who had known each other for years, in a show of great teamwork, they said simultaneously, “It’s nothing. We’re talking about some of the things we did in university.”

“You just began your university life. What ‘things’ could you possibly mean?” Li Yingzi glared at Meng Chao and turned to Lin Chuan. Her tone became slightly gentler when she said, “Lin Chuan, at that time, I’ve just become a lecturer in the university, and I didn’t know how to polish you, so you were a nameless nobody during your university years. It’s only after you graduated and groped around in the dark while trying to figure out your way that you managed to shine. Now that I think about it, I’ve let you down.

“If Cold-blooded Jiang Ming had been the one to provide you with guidance, you might have obtained greater power and glory, and you wouldn’t be as you are now, going into the wild most of the time as a vanguard at the frontlines and getting injured so often.”

“No way.” Lin Chuan laughed. “I only reached my current position because you cultivated me during my university years. As for getting hurt, it’s something normal, and I’m already used to it.

“Speaking of which, at that time, I was just a poor student who came from a public renting house. I had to compete against many of the aristocratic children in the martial arts course, and I did live a very tough life. It’s all thanks to you and Mr. Gu providing me with financial help that I managed to stumble my way to graduation.

“Now, my life is slightly better, and I often think about how I should repay you. Your beast soul fusion technology is maturing day by day, and it’s a key program supported by the martial arts course, so there’s not much room for my help. But Project 1024 is the product of you and Mr. Gu’s blood, sweat, and tears, and I’ve been thinking about helping with it.”

Lin Chuan and Meng Chao looked at Li Yingzi sincerely.

Li Yingzi thought about it for a long time before she finally nodded. “Alright, I’ll agree to it. I believe that Mr. Gu will be really ecstatic when he hears this news!”

From that day onwards, Lin Chuan became a brand new subject of Project 1024.

He often formed a hunting pair with Meng Chao and went to the most dangerous regions in Shattered Starlake. While he treated his wounds, he also did recovery training. Meanwhile, he taught Meng Chao a lot of the secrets about using spirit energy and some of the really practical survival tips in the depths of the wild.

Lun Chuan’s fighting experience was much greater than Gu Jianbo and Li Yingzi’s, who stayed in the university all year long.

Meng Chao naturally learned a lot from his guidance.

And he occasionally gained inspiration based on the memory fragments from his previous life and asked questions or solved riddles in a shocking manner, which also enlightened Lin Chuan, so he often felt like his thought processes had cleared.

To quote Lin Chuan, “I don’t know what’s going on in your brain, junior. I’m not thirty years old yet, but when I’m in front of you, I often feel like you’re someone of the younger generation who is worthy of respect. You’re a monster!”

The two of them worked together and grew so quickly that they improved faster than when they cultivated alone. Very soon, they were attached at the hip. Sometimes, when they became so excited from their kills, they set up camp in Shattered Starlake and listened to the rising and falling monster cries around them.

Then, they talked to each other in a tent so excitedly that they spent the entire night chatting. The more they talked to each other, the more they found themselves clicking, and they felt as if the other was just another version of themselves in this world.

Two weeks went by like that.

Lin Chuan cultivation of the 1,024 branch meridians to cure the injuries in his organs went on very smoothly.

He and Gu Jianbo were both Heaven Realm elites, so when they talked to each other remotely, the brainstorming sessions they went through caused the cultivation system of the Ultimate Style to change every day. The day for the birth of the perfected Ultimate Style that Meng Chao remembered based on the memories of his past drew nearer.

And Lin Chuan did as he promised. When the internet was no longer obstructed, he quickly seized the chance to go online. He promoted the benefits of the Ultimate Style on his social media platform and the livestreaming platform.

He did not exaggerate the effects of the Ultimate Style like the other internet celebrities who were paid to market products. He did not hide the weaknesses and immature parts of the Ultimate Style either. He just reported the progress of his healing and his thoughts about his cultivation.

His truthful attitude and the slightly depressed, handsome face made the promotional effect much stronger than those of hysterically promoted products.

Based on the information Gu Jianbo sent from the rear, a lot more famous businesses and investors became interested in the Ultimate Style.

The Supernatural Tower had agreed to let Agricultural University open up an Ultimate Style Experience Area in the tower. A batch of Ultimate Style cultivation cabins would be placed there so superhumans could test out this brand new cultivation system.

Fengshui Medical Center, a famous private hospital in Dragon City, also collaborated with Agricultural University’s martial arts course to test using the Ultimate Style to cure withered main meridians and stimulate the broken-star superhumans’ fighting strength.

Most of the superhumans in Dragon City who awakened in a battlefield were broken-star superhumans. Hence, this was an unimaginably large cake. Even if they just spread some butter on it, it was enough to stuff the newly born Ultimate Style so full it would burst.

As of current, the Ultimate Style was rising to power much faster and fiercer than what Meng Chao remembered from his previous life. By the looks of it, before long, it would sweep through all of Dragon City and change the entire war’s progress.

And this brought an additional benefit to Meng Chao.

Every time Lin Chuan went on a broadcast, he invited Meng Chao as an assistant so that he could demonstrate the ingenious aspects of the Ultimate Style. As he spoke, he did not hide his admiration for Meng Chao.

The netizens’ strange love extended to him as well just because he was attached to Lin Chuan, and Meng Chao became famous as the Weeping Reaper’s assistant.

The military also recorded his achievement for killing the Will o’ the Wisp Dragon and blocking the blood-red rat horde. He obtained the title of the Daily Star in the east lake base and entered even more powerful fighters’ sights.

Shao Jianqing, Xu Sheng, and Han Sheng were like Wu Wu. They became interested in the Ultimate Style and often came over to train with Meng Chao and Lin Chuan. They could not be considered to be really close friends, but at the very least, when they saw each other in the five-thousand man cafeteria, they would sit down at one table and eat together.

Meng Chao once again promoted the Ultimate Style to Shao Jianqing in hopes that she could get her father, Thunder God Shao Zhengyang, to acknowledge it.

But Shao Jianqing told him that her father was an upright person and especially strict when it came to family members. If she tried going behind doors and asked him to promote the Ultimate Style, it would have an adverse effect.

Besides, General Shao and the Deity Realm elites who joined the northern offense were planning a major operation targeting Raging Waves in an attempt to get rid of the Apocalyptic Beast. They were not in the mood to pay attention to the Ultimate Style.

However, when the northern offense came to an end, the freshmen from the alliance of the five universities and Dragon City University might hold an interuniversity tournament.

It had a long history and was just like the tournament between Agricultural University’s martial arts course and monster controller course.

This year, Dragon City University had five specially recruited students for their fighting courses, while there were only four specially recruited students for the fighting courses in the alliance of the five universities. If the tournament was going to be a five versus five squad battle, there would be one person missing from the alliance of the five universities.

Shao Jianqing invited Meng Chao to join their team and told him that it was the tournament with the highest specifications between the freshmen of the fighting courses in Dragon City’s universities. If Meng Chao could stand out with the Ultimate Style during the interuniversity tournament, the Ultimate Style would naturally enter the sights of her father and the other powerful fighters of the same rank as he was.

Meng Chao had been communicating with Lin Chuan a lot lately, and he felt that his fighting strength had increased like mushrooms after a rain. His confidence swelled up, and he really wanted to meet the elites of Dragon City University, so he naturally agreed to it.

But he was still a little worried in his heart.

Based on what Shao Jianqing said, the humans had once again regained their foothold on the northern offense. Even though they had run into some problems after the storm, they were once again pushing forward. They moved slowly but surely.

Victory was within their grasp; otherwise, the higher-ups would not have started preparing for the interuniversity tournament.

Based on what Meng Chao had seen, she was right.

Even though they had been thrown off their rhythm slightly in the beginning, their persistence finally got through, and they reconstructed the bases, built the forts, killed the monsters, built the railroads, explored the place, and mined the mines.

Now, a few of the military railroads had already extended into Shattered Starlake. The armored trucks filled with heavy railway guns traveled to the center of Shattered Starlake, and the destructive cannon fire could display their might at Graveyard Forest and Raging Waves.

But this was slightly different from the ending Meng Chao remembered from his previous life.

Could it be that he had caused a butterfly effect after he spread the Ultimate Style and harvested a Blood Flower scloretia, which helped Dragon City turn the tables?

Meng Chao could not be certain.

After all, the Ultimate Style had just been born, and its influence was not great. Many of the superhumans just tried it a little before they stopped practicing it, while the veteran elites who stayed in Graveyard Forest for long periods of time did not even have the time to go to the east lake base to test out the Ultimate Style cultivation cabins.

The evolution of the Blood Flower was not a secret either. Through Ning Shewo, Meng Chao learned that the monster research center had discovered this strange parasite long ago and had begun a series of researches on it.

The Blood Flower scloretia he harvested naturally increased the progress of the research by a few percent, but it was not to the state where it could completely change the war.

Meng Chao did not know whether there would be more changes in the northern offense.

But Lin Chuan had recovered and was about to return to the depths of Graveyard Forest to engage in a new round of fights.

During the last few days they spent with each other, they used every second they had to think of all the knowledge they thought could help the other and taught one another everything that they could.

When Lin Chuan heard that Meng Chao had already cleared fourteen main meridians and was thinking about learning a killing move that paid more emphasis to crowd control and long-distance attacks, he decided to teach him the move that propelled him to fame—Thousand Moon Slash.

He also suggested that Meng Chao add two chains to the hilts of his Surging Lightnings so that they could turn into sickles and he could dual wield them.

“My Flame Wing Spear was created using a superbeast’s spine. It can be broken into nineteen segments, and all of them are connected by chains. It’s a chain spear whose attack range reaches dozens of meters, and when necessary, it can also be reconnected into a spear.”

Lin Chuan told Meng Chao that chain-type weapons were very difficult to master, but once he managed to learn them, his attack trajectory would drift about, and the angle of his attacks would be very difficult to handle. His attacks could be much more varied, which would make them unreadable, and their power would also be very strong.

“If you want to practice chain-type weapons, you will need sharp senses and great control over your fingers. You will be controlling the chain like a musician a zither. Only then will you be able to master its essence.

“Fortunately, you’re a harvester during your free time, and it’s a job that pays a lot of attention to the cultivation of your hands. You’ve also cleared all the branch meridians in your fingers. Your senses and control are ten times stronger than those of a normal martial artist. You’re very suited to practicing chain-type weapons.

“Thousand Moon Slash is a move that I’ve been practicing since I became a superhuman. I’ve also thought of a lot of variations for it. It helped me to effortlessly go from Earth Realm to Heaven Realm.

“But as my realm increased, it gradually stopped being suitable for me and Flame Wing Spear. But I can teach it to you, so you can continue making it shine with glory!”
