Chapter 247: Chapter 187 Challenge"Spiral Force!" Zhao Manying’s eyes brightened, "Have you found a way to learn Spiral Force?" She had tried to find a way before, but there were too few people who mastered Spiral Force, just a few dozen in the world, almost all direct descendants of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy, with only two or three she could approach. After asking, for some unknown reason, all of them refused her. "It wasn’t me who found it, someone came to teach me proactively," Ji Xinghuo said with a smile, nodding and revealing some inside information, but he didn’t disclose Fang Songhe’s identity. The identity of the Xuanyuan Swordsman still needed to be kept secret. "The Sword Bureau has such benefits, too," Zhao Manying said with a dawning realization on her face, "Otherwise, could you ask the leaders of the Sword Bureau if they are willing to recruit me?" Ji Xinghuo expressed his surprise, "You also want to be a Swordsman?" "Is that not possible?" "I’m afraid it’s not quite suitable," Ji Xinghuo shook his head, "Your fame is too great, the whole Earth knows you, countless eyes are watching, you would almost certainly be exposed." "That’s true..." Zhao Manying thought for a moment and did not insist any further. Then she excitedly pulled Ji Xinghuo into the training room, "Teach me Spiral Force quickly." Ji Xinghuo didn’t have Fang Songhe’s teaching videos, but there were similar images online, and he explained to Zhao Manying based on his memory and understanding. By the time he finished explaining, the "Star Visibility Reagent" that had been ordered online had also been delivered. A moment later. Ji Xinghuo stared at Zhao Manying’s transparent arm, with exactly 70 Star Force curves running perfectly along the trajectory of Archimedes’ Spiral, and he couldn’t help but be astonished. Zhao Manying gave him a proud smile, "No difficulty at all." Now Ji Xinghuo understood how Fang Songhe must have felt that day, exclaiming, "Quantum Mind is too exaggerated! Truly befitting of an Eclipse Species!" This level of control over her own Star Power was even greater than his own. Microscopic Perception was stronger in "Perception" and "Information Gathering", while Quantum Mind excelled in "Computational Power" and "Inner Vision Control". Quantum Mind was more comprehensive and powerful in anything, whether it was Martial Arts, cultivation, combat, or daily life. If these two abilities could be combined, that would truly be perfect! Ji Xinghuo set aside his thoughts and continued teaching. It took only half a night for Zhao Manying to learn everything he knew. She mastered all ten types of helices he learned from Fang Songhe that day with ease. And she surpassed them, almost instinctively becoming proficient without much practice. "Spiral Force really does suit you better," Ji Xinghuo remarked with a sigh. "It’s all thanks to Teacher Ji’s good teaching," Zhao Manying said with a smiling, modest response. Ji Xinghuo put on a very serious look and said solemnly, "You’re not a very obedient student, I need to teach you a proper lesson." "Oh no, teacher, don’t." "Hahaha..." The two of them played around for a while and couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Ji Xinghuo looked at the time and saw that it was late at night, so he made his excuses to leave, but Zhao Manying teased, "Stop the pretense, just stay over at my place tonight. My house is big, with several guest rooms; you can stay in any one you like." "Okay," Ji Xinghuo didn’t stand on ceremony with her. The next morning. Ji Xinghuo woke up in Zhao Manying’s bed, basking in the warmth and softness, feeling content. After getting up and washing, eating breakfast, the two went out separately, looking every bit the married couple. Not long after cycling to Qinling Base and entering the Martial Arts Arena to wait a moment, Fang Songhe arrived right on time. "Today we learn the Three-dimensional Helix." Fang Songhe got straight to the point, without any idle chatter. Three-dimensional Helices included the Cornu spiral, cylindrical helix, conical helix, etc., and their complexity grew exponentially. Ji Xinghuo only mastered three types that day, but even this pace greatly surprised Fang Songhe, far exceeding anyone he knew. In the following days. Ji Xinghuo learned helices at the Sword Bureau base by day and passed on what he learned to Zhao Manying at night, effectively studying them a second time, deepening his memory and understanding. Sometimes he stayed at his own home, sometimes at Zhao Manying’s. They got used to sharing a bed and intimate contact, but they never crossed the final boundary. In the Martial Arts Arena. Ji Xinghuo stood before a humanoid pile, focusing and gathering his energy, clenching his right hand into a fist and striking a blow on the alloy-cast humanoid pile. What appeared to be a simple punch actually involved dozens of converging Star Force curves within his body, twisting into a single force concentrated in his fist. In that instant, the Star Force curves underwent multiple changes, following the formulas’ trajectories, moving, advancing, converging, and then bursting! Bang! A loud explosion echoed in the room, like thunder. The heavy humanoid pile trembled, with a shallow dent left in the spot where it was hit, surrounded by radial lightning scorch marks. "Success!" Ji Xinghuo’s face showed joy. This was his fifth day practicing Spiral Force, and he had already mastered this powerful Star Force, reaching the beginner’s realm the day before. Then, he spent another day combining it with the Rotating Magnetic Field. When he executed the Spiral Force, he added electric current, finally perfecting the Electric Light Spiral Force. Fang Songhe stood by, nodding along. "Not bad." "The power of Electric Light Spiral Force is much stronger than that of ordinary Spiral Force," he commented. "You can barely be considered a beginner at this point; you’re far from tapping into its potential. You need at least to reach Mastery before you can use it in real combat." "Yes, Senior Fang," Ji Xinghuo responded humbly. Every strike with Spiral Force required complex calculations: curve, speed, angle, amplitude, wavelength, frequency, and so on, with the latter three usually being fixed and easier to control. The most challenging were the first three aspects, which varied greatly and demanded high speeds of thinking and control. Even the slightest mistake would render Spiral Force powerless. The difficulty of Electric Light Spiral Force was on another level entirely, adding yet another parameter and increasing the complexity exponentially. In over twenty hours, after thousands of attempts, Ji Xinghuo finally succeeded in unleashing a strike with Electric Light Spiral Force. However, succeeding once was all that was needed. After that, all he had to do was to replicate that successful strike, increasing his proficiency with each attempt, and he would soon be able to elevate his skill to a higher level. Bang! Bang! Bang bang bang... Ji Xinghuo’s fists overflowed with electric light as he continuously struck the alloy human-shaped pile, leaving behind trails of electric scorch marks, shaking incessantly. The entire Martial Arts Arena echoed with the sound of thunder. Fang Songhe watched with his hands behind his back and noticed that Ji Xinghuo’s Electric Light Spiral Force was becoming more practiced. Initially, perhaps only two out of five punches would successfully unleash Electric Light Spiral Force, but the success rate improved rapidly. Five minutes later, he only occasionally missed one in ten. After twenty minutes, the success rate reached a hundred percent! Then, the power began to increase. Punch after punch was quicker and stronger; the alloy human-shaped pile shook violently, the punch impressions on it growing deeper, the electric light burst forth like a sudden squall. "He’s reached Mastery!" Fang Songhe thought. Even after observing Ji Xinghuo for five days and knowing full well of his terrifying talent, Fang was still stunned at this moment. For a martial artist with excellent talent to master a form of Star Force to the level of Mastery, it would take a few months at minimum, two to three years at the longest. That was just for ordinary Star Force. The difficulty of Spiral Force was more than a hundred times that of ordinary Star Force. Ji Xinghuo took five days to reach beginner level, and then less than half an hour to advance to Mastery, which was incredibly shocking. At this rate, it might only take two or three days for Ji Xinghuo’s Electric Light Spiral Force to reach the level of ’Extreme Intent’. Any part of his body could exert the Electric Light Spiral Force, not limited to fists or feet, and the power would be even greater than at the Mastery level. With a loud boom. The nearly ten-ton heavy, hard alloy human-shaped pile was shattered into more than a dozen pieces by a full-force punch from Ji Xinghuo, falling to the ground. Every piece of metal debris was pitted and marred with lightning scorch marks. Searᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Ji Xinghuo then stopped. "Whew..." He exhaled, the electric glow in his pupils faded, and the scales and current on his skin receded, returning to his normal state. Fang Songhe said, "I have nothing more to teach you about Spiral Force." "Thank you very much for your careful guidance, Senior Fang," Ji Xinghuo expressed his gratitude sincerely. "All I did was move my mouth a bit; it’s mainly that you learn well," Fang Songhe nodded indifferently, then suddenly added, "When you have some free time, you can come to find me at the Extreme Martial Arts headquarters in Chang’an. If you have any problems with martial arts, as long as I understand, I will answer them for you." Ji Xinghuo promised earnestly, "Okay, I will definitely go." Fang Songhe didn’t say anything else and directly left the Sword Bureau base. Ji Xinghuo continued practicing Spiral Force on his own, sweating profusely as he expended all his Star Power, another method of cultivation. After two days of intense practice, Electric Light Spiral Force finally reached the level of ’Extreme Intent’. At this level, a bump from his head, shoulders, back, or even his behind could unleash powerful destructive power; his entire body had become a weapon, much like a humanoid weapon! Above ’Extreme Intent’ was the level of ’Simplicity’, where the Electric Light Spiral Force could be unleashed as easily as an instinct, with every move effortlessly. However, this level required at least a Fifth Level ’Star Force’ Ability, whereas Ji Xinghuo’s Star Force was only at Third Level, so he had yet to master any Star Force to the level of Simplicity. And to reach Simplicity with Electric Light Spiral Force, the conditions were undoubtedly more than just Fifth Level Star Force, also requiring support from high-speed thinking. "High-frequency Thinking." Ji Xinghuo glanced at the ’Acceleration Ring’ on his hand, which only provided a First Level of High-frequency Thinking. It was enough for now, but he would definitely have to replace it later. In the evening. Ji Xinghuo returned home alone, as Zhao Manying had a match today and the Emperor Star Team had left Chang’an early in the morning to play as the visiting team in Yuewan City. This was the second match of the new season, which Ji Xinghuo watched on the virtual network alongside his family. Not surprisingly, Emperor Star Team claimed victory. Ji Xinghuo wasn’t interested in the post-match interview; after chatting with Zhao Manying on his phone for a while, he was about to go to bed when he received a message. It was from Shi Renzhong. "Brother Ji, our spar is set for tomorrow night at 7 o’clock, at the private training grounds of the Emperor Star Club. How do you feel about that?" Ji Xinghuo immediately replied, "That’s fine." "We’ll see you tomorrow then. Everyone at the Emperor Star Club looks forward to your arrival," Shi Renzhong sent another message, his delight barely concealed. Ji Xinghuo tossed his phone aside and fell asleep quickly.
