One day later, they began to apprentice under Mr. Schrödinger's Cat, learning martial arts and engaging in secluded cultivation. Simultaneously, they started researching improvements to the cloning factory, integrating them with the "Primal Essence" production line.
Bathed in the morning sunlight, the scholar in white stood in a vast training ground.
The scholar in white addressed them, "Aside from Mansha and the little one with her, all of you have reached this realm by breaking through using the Divine Spirit Factory. This means you possess the realm but lack battle prowess. While you can learn, your combat strength won't be very high..."
"We don't need excessive combat strength!" replied one of them. For Nashar and the others, this system remained incredibly useful. It was akin to a remotely controlled body. In the future, controlling machinery, warships, and various high-energy weapons would be much safer. Moreover, the quantum battle body's detection capabilities were incredibly uncanny and unpredictable.However, everyone present was greatly astonished. Was there really another person with Mansha?
At this moment, Pan Xuexian, realizing she could no longer hide, detached herself from Mansha, transforming into a beautiful, elegant woman. Everyone was startled."Is this person... too small? A pygmy race? An unparalleled classical beauty, no bigger than an ant?"
"I come from the Alchemists of Gods and Devils' Marketplace, tasked with descending into this lower civilization to guide them in resisting the Pillar God civilization," Pan Xuexian stated. Everyone was aghast. The Alchemists of Gods and Devils' Marketplace was composed of countless terrifying, forbidden civilizations formed by enlightened beings from across the universe. Was this tiny being before them one such forbidden civilization? It was their first time seeing her true form, and they were filled with wonder.
"Your aptitude is quite remarkable," the scholar in white praised. "You've pursued traditional classical martial arts, cultivating the path of the warrior, and have now even begun to tread the path of laws... Originally, I intended to teach casually, but your martial arts talent has intrigued me." Pan Xuexian was overjoyed, knowing this civilization was the most suitable for her. Indeed, over the years, she had become the strongest among the players, with hidden support from Mengmei and others, and vast resources poured into her, placing her at the pinnacle of power, having stepped onto the path of laws. She could even rival Armin, no weaker than the God of Super Saiyans, yet she remained unable to contend with supreme beings like Emperor Qi and the Three Pillar Gods; the gap was immense.
"Then, let's begin your cultivation," the scholar in white said with a calm and elegant smile. "Deliver a punch, and let me observe your level."
"Alright!" Pan Xuexian's body rapidly expanded, revealing her Pangu True Form, a classical, slender beauty of the same stature as her surroundings. Just as everyone gazed in awe at her exquisite demeanor, the very next second, she transformed into a towering, muscular martial arts true body. Her muscles rippled like a rising tower, exuding a burly and imposing power as she swiftly and powerfully threw a punch.
She stomped the ground, her waist and horse united, and threw a punch. It was the most ordinary of punches.With the instant stomp of her foot, a deep crater appeared in the earth, as if a magnitude 15 earthquake had struck. Using the reactive force, she shot forward, her fist smashing towards the front. Where her punch passed, it created a long, slender vacuum zone hundreds of meters in diameter. Outside this vacuum zone, the air currents were instantly churned into a super typhoon exceeding level 30.
Princess Nashar and the other deities were instantly blown away. "Is this the power of a being from a higher cosmic civilization?" Mansha was utterly aghast. The sheer force of that punch, she realized, was enough to shatter even their highest law gods! It was too powerful, unimaginably so. This most primal method, akin to mortal martial arts, unleashed an earth-shattering power of tens of millions of tons or more.
"Excellent, a pinnacle of martial arts! That simple punch alone is enough to devastate a small province... A martial arts master, you are truly a prodigy! Your physical strength alone is sufficient to flatten planets and shatter anything!" The scholar in white showed a flash of admiration, then softly and gently raised his hand, catching the punch.
His own punch felt soft, like that of an ordinary person; its stance, force points, and explosive power seemed completely incorrect. Yet, something strange occurred. The two fists collided violently. The immense force generated instantly made all the divine beings present feel dizzy. Pan Xuexian was sent flying backward due to the powerful recoil. The next second, her opponent seemed to dissipate like extremely fine sand, vanishing from the spot, only to quickly reassemble, as if deflecting the force.
"Do you understand our difference now?" the scholar in white chuckled.Pan Xuexian, having created a large crater in the specially designed training ground, slowly got to her feet. "Your punching method doesn't conform to traditional force application... but the power you unleash is terrifying."
The scholar in white replied, "Yes, your physical outbursts are based on macroscopic physics, while my force application stems from microscopic physics. This allows me to generate immense power regardless of the direction or posture from which I exert force...""Quantum mechanics?" Pan Xuexian mused, thinking it must involve utilizing the ultra-fine forces between molecules.
To possess such explosive power without having cultivated martial arts... "This is our Sacred Martial True Body, born from the interaction of Yin and Yang." The scholar in white continued with a smile, "However, your martial arts cultivation is also very interesting. I wish to learn from your methods in this regard... Perhaps it could resolve our bottleneck. We could first cultivate martial arts, and then practice our traditional martial arts."
After all, their civilization had focused solely on developing quantum martial arts, never exploring the path of pure physical training and muscle development to elevate life forms. In the current situation, using martial arts as a preliminary step seemed beneficial.
Pan Xuexian, however, shook her head. "That is a solution, but it's not suitable for the general populace. Martial arts require immense resources, and their cultivation is extremely difficult and demanding. In terms of difficulty alone, martial arts are not significantly easier than your system; it's simply that we possess powerful combat strength in the early stages."
The scholar in white listened, then nodded thoughtfully, realizing the truth of her words. Indeed. What was their current situation? They cast a wide net, allowing anyone with some aptitude to become their disciple. This method incurred no costs, letting students develop on their own. However, cultivating martial arts would require significant investment, making such widespread recruitment impossible."It seems," he mused, "it's only suitable for cultivating core disciples: first, they cultivate martial arts to extend their lifespan, then they train in our system."
He continued to ponder, "Even those without aptitude could use the Divine Spirit Factory to break through and become gods, then undergo the Yin-Yang interaction... directly bypassing the earlier seven tiers. However, such gods would be very weak and lack potential... but it is still a path." Their civilization was fragile and extreme. Otherwise, they wouldn't be considering using this group of outsiders to bolster their civilization's foundation.
"Indeed, cultivating other civilizations first is still difficult to fully integrate," he pondered. "The correct path is to directly fill the early-stage combat strength void in our own system." He continued, "Creating a physical body in advance was the right choice..."
"Then, I will teach you, and you will teach the others," the scholar in white said."Understood," replied Pan Xuexian.
Inside the Sutra Repository, scrolls stood tall. The group began to choose.
Pan Xuexian took a deep breath. "They call them Sacred Martial True Bodies, but we should name them in our own way, something simpler and easier to understand.""Why not just call them Quantum Battle Bodies?" Nashar asked, confused."You are too young," Pan Xuexian replied, shaking her head. "Calling them Quantum Battle Bodies would reveal the very essence of our cultivation just by the name. If we didn't say anything, who would ever know such a terrifying truth, only perceiving them as strange? We must choose a name that doesn't reveal anything. The simplest, for instance, would be... a 'Stand-in'."
"A Stand-in?" A soft murmur spread among the group. They felt the name was extremely fitting, even perfectly suitable, while also being simple and clear.
"When our Yin-Yang interaction controls the quantum battle body to launch an attack, we can call it... a Stand-in Attack," she smiled.
