The nails reach Ryu's scales and started to bend out only scratching the surface " What ? " " Gotcha " Zip went behind him and cuffed the villain and pulled out a key from the special cuffs disabling the composite of nail extensions .
" Ouch " Ryu landed on the street rail pushing the curved corner " And you intern ... What the hell did you think bout jumping on top of the criminal he is clearly pointing up and you saw his Composite trait allowing him to extend his hard and sharp nails . "
" Sorry I just saw you bleed and forgot about your speedy regeneration " ' Cute ' the twins loved Ryu's attitude which is tamer than Haoyu who knew too much " Worry about yourself how are you going to complete your internship if you keep rushing huh ? "
" Ugh " " Your punishment will be to match the paperwork at the office " ' Haoyu please invite them to the hot spring " Chuyi informed Haoyu who communicated with the two heroes " Hey Zip and Ryu we want to invite you to our hot springs we have a branch in this town . "
Ryu looked at Haoyu and the twins taking a while to notice " Ahh you mmh " ' I don't know why but Senior told me to stop this guy from making too much noise by covering his mouth ' Yunqi was covering Ryu's mouth from exposing what he knew " Shh " Ryu stopped trying to talk and the two heroes didn't notice that the reporters were looking for them .
Chen Haoyu was directing their attention by talking about the hot springs they own " Really you're giving us the highest service ? " Zip asked " Yes of course since you saved us " " Come on Ryu you need to heal up after that battle I heard the hot springs and healing qualities
They all followed Haoyu with the two heroes ahead ' Seniors can you please explain what kind of cultivation this planet has ? " Yifan looked at Yunqi who was looking at both of them curiously .
' This planet has something similar to a spiritual root but instead , theirs grow and is more potent than spiritual roots . " ' In addition to having better refinement they mix so well to form one trait and their environment is plenty messed up which meant they could encounter a person who holds a power that specifically targets them so more experience obtained "
' But seniors you said that they also cultivate ... what do they cultivate ? " Chuyi was paying attention to the media while answering Yunqi ' The quirky factor which increases as generations past '
' The way these quirks work is simple there are unique parts of it you can say it was genes but also the spirit . " ' The people of this planet cultivates unconsciously as their bodies are very linked to their spirit "
' For as long as these people wish for something their personality shapes their composite of quirks " ' Which is now a good or bad thing because those who want to destroy can own a composite to do that "
' But as long as they control themselves ... they might create an omnipotent composite " Yunqi thought of it imagining a composite that can create things out of nowhere ' So there might be someone who can create life ? " ' Yes but you know there are also much more powerful composite than that "
Chuyi told Yunqi in an attempt to extend his horizon ' Chuyi is right because composites are linked to the personality "
' And enough composite or component energy in short CE " ' What's that ? " ' It's like qi to immortal cultivation but CE has different sources " ' Each people that has a composite has that source which emits CE so it's like an immortal's leftover qi except it has its source's traits so if someone has a quirk of ice the released CE is attributed as ice "
" We're here " Haoyu opened the doors and was greeted by the staff " Get us VIP " Ryu looked at the blade which had cracks on the blade " Wow is that the blade of shards ? " " Right kid you've never seen the actual thing the company is very rich they own a lot of things but their signature craft are all their products made by the company managers "
' Uhm senior do you know these managers and why is senior Chen is talking to the staff like he is the boss " ' Yunqi the managers are us " the twins told him while watching Ryu " You can keep it if you want " Ryu looked very surprised and shocked " Wha ? " the sword was taken out and the twins held it up with their two short hands .
" Here take it " " No this is too much " " But this is one of the cheapest " ... Ryu looked at the sword that was forced into his hand " Wow " " Ryu stop admiring the sword " go relax " " Right ... " Ryu looked at the sword and the twins pointed at the room map .
" Just a note you are provided with rooms so leave the sword inside " Haoyu explained on the way ' Hey Chuyi did you see the news ? " ' Yep our final ingredient "
They both went to their rooms and disappeared to another city ' The ingredient should be in that mafia that hasn't appeared for a long time " Chuyi said standing on top of a roof along with Yifan ' Yeah "
They both changed their clothing wearing ancient robes and a mask each and stared at a certain building . The building was pretty dark in the city's less-lighted areas which featured a deserted area at night and a bustling workplace of food and souvenirs at day .
" Boss , we have gathered all of them " some men in black suits came to salute someone as he walks in with a nurse keeping an eye on the monitors that read the mafia boss's health " Is she prepared ? "
" Yes sir " the boss was led to a room where an adult woman was sitting " I won't do it even if you force me to " " We won't force you since you might kill yourself if it wasn't for the cotton around this room . "
She looked at the person behind the boss and panicked ' If their here then I will definitely be forced to heal him whether I like it or not ' she thought of any way to kill herself but was already controlled by the man .
" Boss is there anything you need after she heals you ? " Controller asked while the boss felt his body at its peak again " It would be food and nutrition my body will starve after it is given a boost to strengthen its potential "
" Then we have already prepared lots of calories to burn as your metabolism is boosted . " trays of food were introduced as the butler moves aside while picking up Controller since he thinks that the boosted metabolism might take over the boss's mind .
' Should we get her corpse too ? " Chuyi asked ' Definitely she was some hotshot when she went to the hospital it might be good to get her composite too . But we might reveal ourselves earlier than planned " ' Not a problem since we can't have that guy achieve this singularity he keeps talking about "
' You're right because we will be the ones doing it first " Chuyi teleported to the corpse of the doctor and reached her hand to the corpse and starts the extraction of the composite ' This is a lot of infused components '
She hears the door creak to show the boss " I was wondering who you are but to think a child was sent to save her " he raised his hand as it hardens and swings it aiming for Chuyi's head but Yifan appears and blocks it by raising his leg .
" I'm your opponent " Yifan kicks the boss away and teleports behind him where some troops were stationed " Intruder " Yifan teleported again and snapped a soldier's neck .
" Fire " he disappeared again quickly taking out the firing infantry and tracked the boss's location " Hmm teleportation what a unique composite your companion must have the same composite as you "
' He probably is looking for a way to keep me in my position ' Yifan disappeared from the ground before the boss could even attack him ' I would expect no less from someone who could get through my security . '
" Monley there's an intruder " Controller yelled out looking for any person he can use as a meat shield " Controller hold the intruders still in one place " Yifan teleported behind Controller and snapped his neck .
" Tsk I'll do it myself " Monley landed on Controller's body to touch him and take his composite but Yifan appeared between them and reached his hands ' I don't think so ' he tapped on Monley teleporting him to Chuyi .
' My turn ' Chuyi controlled the corpse of the doctor and used a her disguise composite to control her body
...
Kongjian on the other hand was at newly created school managed by AI as strange as it sounds but this was from a cultivation method like how sword spirits are born from excess qi this AI was linked to the cultivated geias .
' Energy of the world can make a spirit so this Geias should be very pure qi but the only thing that makes it better is being more potent than qi . '
The AI was practically evolving itself and immediately became the most potential student ' But it is a suitable kind of cultivation to create an actual living world as long as those who can master this can easily create life . '
Kongjian quickly compiled the books racing them as the AI behind her which is just a computer that received tremendous amounts of Geias from Kongjian . They both raced with one writing down and the other reading at supercomputer speed .
Kongjian would've to breach the speed limits of the world just to write them all down ' Take this the speed of the fingers who wrote an entire thesis paper in less than a second at least that is what I think when I saw the roasted computer '
She started to reminiscences about the old times when she was like in college and finished an entire paper right before the deadline ' But with this super manuscript I can move without problems '
It was an amazing sight in the manuscript that could have great effects like the words chaning the laws of nature became invested in keeping up with Kongjian's speed .
The supercomputer wasn't fast enough which gave Kongjian some relaxation time " Hah looks like even you can't keep up with this speed " she stopped typing since there wasn't anything else to write but suddenly she heard the sounds of bones cracking and looked at her fallen hands .
" But so can't my body " she got a pill and ate it repairing the damage she did " Well take care of the place little one don't let troublemakers in and take care " she gave the supercomputer a wave and went to another empty school ... though this one was half destroyed .
' Not again ' she restored it using the memory of the world and undid the damage ' But what else should I be doing ? ' she thought back on the cultivation choice of geias and looks around ' I wouldn't do that if I was still me but I can make a different technique instead '
She sat on the grounds and opens an empty book ' Let's see I need to take out the soul part of the geias choice of cultivation that way I can refine only the soul part . ' she looked at the core technique which is the main technique she derived out to be the purest technique of the geias choice .
' It is like qi but more on the life part instead of the soul part I can use the cultivation technique of spiritual qi to get a clue or maybe I can get the underworld cultivation technique but I also need to get the eternal technique to get clues on the life but then again that won't be enough since the life part of the eternal technique would be stable to keep the person from aging '
' Maybe I can check on death techniques and use them ' she started brainstorming on her own .
...
Chuyi commanded the newly acquired puppet and used the remaining anger she could extract from the corpse ' How about a grudge to be resolved ? ' the puppet started to fight Monley " Interesting teleportation and puppetry what a duo you make "
Chuyi smiled under her mask and slid her fingers onto the wall ' well I can put an upgrade ' the walls start to break as strips came out of them " Animation ? " ' Tsk she's getting an upgrade so I may as well do mine '
Yifan looked at the stripes of concrete and smiles under his mask ' How about this ' he drew a triangle and poke the imaginary triangle but Monley sensed the danger and quickly dodged as a triangle cut destroyed the stripes .
" So you have control over space " ' That's right ' he moved his pointer to Monley as the stripes went to Monley as he used telekinesis to stop the fragments ' You are forgetting the puppet ' the corpse engaged in close combat starting with a heavy jab .
" What a powerful duo I usually have to take my time but it looks like I have to restrain you two if I want your composites " ' Well he won't be able to get it ' the twins thought in unison and attacked Monley again with him dodging the debris Chuyi sent flying and Yifan destroying them .
' Cause I'm not losing ' Yifan swapped places with the debris and clenched his fist to punch Monley from above him and Chuyi sent debris flying from under ' Oh no ' Monley quickly used a composite to send himself out of the twins' attacks and standing up away from them with Yifan closer .
Yifan looked at the debris still flying toward him and swapped places with Monley ' As expected ' Monley fly up with telekinesis and weigthed the corpse down ' Your composite will be a great addition though I don't know what kind of other composites it originated from '
' He's still thinking about our "composites" ' Chuyi thinks while Yifan drew shapes and looked at her ' So we both have the same idea ' she gave him a nod and Yifan appeared ' I hate this ' they both complained as Yifan drew on Chuyi's hand .
' They are utilizing each other's composites , I have to stop them ' Chuyi sensed Monley coming and opened her palms as Yifan's attacks flew out of her hands and Monley's danger sense was reacting very quickly while he used it to find the safest path to escape .
They watched him escaped while losing and regenerating a leg back ' I think I know how to exploit his danger sense " ' I know I'll draw more so use them properly " Yifan teleported both of them into a different location while Chuyi used her disguise composite to make them float and waved the air that Yifan drew out his attack .
' Whatever you two are planning it can't be that simple ' Yifan pointed a finger and started to scribble in the air ' I see ' Chuyi set their plan in action and sent Yifan's attacks while Yifan cut through space forcefully but not cutting the attack Chuyi borrowed from him .
' I thought it was something special but it seems you are only planning to brute force ' Monley still paid attention to the attacks Chuyi sent and flew in a direction until he felt his danger sense reacting everywhere .
" NO !? " he had entered a gap where he was surrounded by more of Yifan's attack he tried to escape but his danger sense was telling him that a more destructive attack was going get him ' We won't kill him we still need his research first '
Yifan swapped Chuyi with his attacks and Monley found the gap ' I don't know if you were foolish or in a hurry but I will take this chance ' he charged to Chuyi ignoring the use of telekinesis to move her away giving her the chance to control his body but not his mind .
' Get out ' Monley sent Chuyi out and Yifan swapped with her with his hand ready like a sword and cut through space again aiming at Monley but he tried to fight the animation Chuyi placed on him with telekinesis .
' Hey Yifan help me get close " Yifan nodded and Monley took that as a sign of an agreement to some plan so he used the only composite that he can use and tried to send himself away but there was debris everywhere and his danger sense was not beeping for him .
But this gave Yifan a leeway to swap Chuyi and she caught Monley immobilizing him " Looks like we can use him he has the final ingredient we need " Monley stared at them and they both could tell what he was thinking .
" Right we can tell him about our idea since we're not the usual villain " Yifan said " Okay then we just started doing a collection and we want to get this world's singularity or at least the thing you wanted to get and do this word domination thing "
Yifan and Chuyi killed Monley as one had his original composite and the other has the rest of the stolen ones " There's this drink I want in this city " Chuyi said " What a coincidence me too " they sealed the composites separately in an orb .
" Here " Chuyi tossed her side of composites and Yifan sighed and sent them to their hideout " Well I'll be on my way " Yifan disappeared and Chuyi went back to their hideout which is under the relaxation spot and heard some people above playing with the water .
" It's a hot spring so why are there people who are playing with water ? "
...
" I think I overdid it " Kongjian looked at the void which had a fragment of her soul " I'll have to take it out or I'm like those kids in those movies who caused the problems they solve to become heroes "
She took out the soul of the void ' Feels like being big mom from One piece except the soul part is much stronger since I can use it on the void ' she destroyed the soul since it had experience on being the void .
" Hello ? " she used a technique to allow her voice to travel around the void but didn't hear any response " No use looks like there is no one should I have done something to my voice so they can know ? Though I might accidentally antagonist them "
She sighed and look around the void ' This void is like my life there is nothing much into it my kids can already manage themselves , I have no challenge in my life I can't do anything reading all that comics gets tiring when it isn't an escape from stress but from boredom . '
" I feel like Notch wasting his life after that challenge called developing a game , he sold the game and when it got better all the players got so happy they made a lot of things out of the game . sigh But not him "
She compared Minecraft to all the schools she made and yet there was no one who stayed there she managed to get a little such as Haoyu and she managed to bring another and Ruoxi but that took so long in fact there were only fewer than ten among the entire network of her school that she spent so much time in the world of immortal cultivation .
She practically has a lack of students unlike those famous sects and really wanted to invite random passersby ' I really hate trouble but without that everything is boring ... should I make the decision to expose my hidden schools ? '
" I might have to avoid charlatans who pretend to be related in some way but I got to remind those who knew I prefer brains over face " she looked at the schools she made from afar and sighed " But before I do that I should at least tell them to get ready for it "
Kongjian got up and went to a random school to stop for water ' Though I wonder how they are doing '
...
Yifan returned to the hideout holding a container full of chocolate milk he stole with his disguise composite and Chuyi putting the last of the composite together on a machine " Here you go " he tossed another container full of the same contents .
" Thanks , ready to make the singularity ? " " Yeah just start the thing and we can officially make one " Yifan checked the commands seeing if Chuyi made a mistake " Can you hurry with finding an opportunity to annoy me "
Yifan didn't care and hit the start button " Whatever " those who read the conversation will probably think teenagers are talking unless they heard the actual conversation which is filled with child voices and they are not very deep enough for a teenager apparently .
But anyways the machine started and brought all of the composites they gathered and broke them into smaller divisions which were called back then a component quite simple instead of a quirk but the term evolved since even back then a single kind or component of superpower was so rare since the offspring of two don't inherit all of the parents' superpowers but rather components of it .
A unique superpower with a single component can't be called just a superpower but a component just like how composites are only called composites due to having more than one component in a body .
The advantage of having a superpower that is a single component is like having a single metal blade to use and maintain , unlike composites which are too hard to keep from rusting .
But there is a way to turn the composites into a single component it's just that this process is very slow and that is what the machine will do accelerate that natural process and create a component called "All in one"
The one who holds it will have all of the composites and components that the gene line had , have and will have in the future ... just the limitation is too far off the range doesn't reach the end of time and isn't omnipotent just nigh .
But anyways the best part of this singularity is " And the last one so we don't have to share " Chuyi hit another button and the singularity core split like cell division and Yifan took one and Chuyi took the other .
" It looks like a single component alright " Chuyi examined it carefully and so did Yifan " Hey you think there's a future where a superpower appears that can strengthen other superpower by generating CE ? "
" This singularity will keep growing at exponential speed reading the future as it changes due to the faulty and precise future vision " they looked at each other and stored the singularity away in their pocket dimension which seems inaccessible to others .
" But now that all that is over we can relax " Chuyi returned to their room and lay on the cleaned floor and Yifan followed her " I miss big brother " " Right he did say he'll come back a few weeks ago after he does some traveling "
" He's taking forever it's still boring at home why does he take everything with him " " He puts some weird value over those gifted people " but the twins still sighed " I wish he came back " they both said and Yunqi who just passed by knocking on the door since he was told to drop formalities and curiosity got the best of him .
" What is it Yunqi ? " they both asked in unison " Sorry I thought there was no one " Yifan frowned and teleported him " How about asking us what you wanted to ask " Yifan told Yunqi " No no you don't need to answer "
They didn't care and started to answer his curiosity " We had a big brother who spoiled us when we were born " Chuyi said " He stayed for a long time with us and resumed his traveling meeting people "
" He bought some gifted people who were blessed by the heaven , land and sea even fate " " We should talk about the favored with fate part . It's more like whatever path you take is destined to be good for you "
" Sounds like walking a path laid down prepared for you " Chuyi said and Yunqi compared it to a well-known kingdom's prince " But the part about fate is that the person Big brother bought was more like very lucky to have everything go exactly what they want if they don't specify it , their luck would have things prepared for them "
They felt Yunqi's expression despite their eyes closed and Chuyi continued " It's fine to not understand since you have a lack of imagination " they both sighed at the stupid junior they just had and hoped that Ruoxi was not as stupid .
" We'll go into more detail " Chuyi said and Yifan took out a nut " Let's say you're blessed by the land and you found a random nut on the road because the land gave it to you and it is within their capabilities just like how the heaven will strike lightning on a random rock and you get a treasure "
' Senior is so good he is already comparing himself to heaven and the land we stand ' he looked at the nut wondering what it was " By the way that is just a very normal nut at non-cultivator standards " Oh " he was slightly disappointed but more relieved .
" Yunqi where is Chen Haoyu ? " Chuyi asked him " I don't know he just left through a cut in the air " " He must be worried about Ruoxi " Yifan said and then got up to open the door and bring the lunch that was left outside .
" Here Yunqi you should eat " " But there's " " Time to test it " Yifan took out the singularity and used a composite to duplicate the meal at a simple cost . They watch as another meal that looked exactly like Yifans appeared .
" It worked " Yifan handed the plate to Yunqi with a satisfied expression " Well thanks for the meal " the twins started eating while Yunqi was looking suspiciously at the food since it popped out of the singularity Yifan had .
...
" I think this is enough " Ruoxi placed the last of the books on a cart that was available " There are so many books I need to read " she was planning to overachieve her initial goal and started by getting all of the books like getting a whole tree instead of a branch .
She dragged the lightweight books and walked back while reading one . The books fell off her hands by a hand " Ruoxi don't walk while reading if you're not familiar with the road " " Oh uh sect leader sorry "
" Don't be you're like someone who has been under a rock considering cultivators always go in seclusion " " Huh ? " " Oh come on now that further proves it you're unaware of some safety rules like keeping your eyes out for the road it would be fine if you were reading on an empty hallway "
She picked up the book and returned it to Ruoxi " By the way , I'm planning to open my other schools " Ruoxi was dumbfounded by Kongjian's actions and words but when she heard schools she wondered if she meant mountain peaks .
" Maybe there is some at the information pavilion " Ruoxi looked at the cart and put up a list of things to do with a sequence of "put the books in her room" first and then "head to the information pavilion"
" Oh and hear you go " Kongjian tossed her a jade coin " You can use that on your storage ring if you can't get inside it because of your lack of cultivation " " thank you " she used it and Kongjian smiled and saw Haoyu holding the same coin .
" Ahh , I lose to sect master " " So I shall take the win and Haoyu you should follow her I am planning to put together my schools and let it known to the world " Haoyu nods seeing Ruoxi put the books inside her spatial ring .
" Come here junior I'll save you a trip to the information pavilion " " How'd you know ? " " Just familiar enough to not use my eyes to walk around the sect grounds . " Ruoxi looked at Haoyu's face which had his eyes closed most of the time .
Before she could say anything they reappeared on the information pavilion where there was a desk and a giant painting of a Nian a beast known in Chinese folklore " On this table , you can ask or write your questions but you can't ask for cultivation tips you have to find a senior which is a few here but you can ask me and the other two "
Ruoxi nods and lifts herself up to see if there was anything at the other side of the desk " Junior there isn't anyone here we don't have many people but this does work . Map of the sect grounds "
They heard the sound of paper flapping and a brush and paper was pulled under the desk as a map was drawn " See sect master says that any human task can be automated " " I'm embarrassed to ask but what is "automated" ? "
" Look at the text on the desk " she turned right at the desk to see that there were words and the word "Automated" was highlighted she took the oppurtunity to read it " So it's like how mortal inventions work ? " " Yes but no one has to use it since it can help itself "
" Wow this sect is otherworldly " " That would be underestimating the sect's origin actually " Haoyu said proudly since he knows the facts of the schools as much as the twins and Kongjian does " You see Sect master actually comes from nothing and even this place came from nothing "
" Huh " " It's okay Junior that would be too much for you to comprehend unless it is related to something you have already understood , so let's say your ancestor to you it's just like the void to this place "
" If I understand does that mean the sect originates from nothing ? " " Yes since sect master is also the same but not entirely , she comprehends starting from nothing like all of us . She says that if anything can be destroyed to the point even the ashes are gone then anything can be created without something that already exist "
" That would be hard to understand " " Yes so she says that if there was something that could destroy itself along with another for an equal price she can do the reverse thereby creating two things each capable of destroying each other "
" That does seem comprehensible " " She calls it redirecting attention " " What ? " " I start with a subject you understand and slowly move to a subject you wouldn't understand but now you do because I had your attention "
" Senior , that is amazing I didn't even realize it " She quickly got a notebook and wrote down the important tips and turned to the painting " Senior does sect master have any relations to that beast ? "
" Oh she does in fact she and her kids are like family to him " " Oh I see " ' So sect master and seniors are like mortals who adopt pets and give them their family name it's a bit confusing but I did learn that water can be as thick as blood '
