Chapter 234 Spiritual Imprint

Jiang Congshu plunged into the artificial lake in the back mountain of the research center with a sudden move.

This was the place where he first assisted Ji Tianqi in practicing martial arts, but the scaffolding, water pipes, water pumps and other props had long been taken away.

Ji Tianqi no longer needs to practice here. It can even be said that Ji Tianqi no longer needs his help in practicing.

Luo Renzhong stood by the lake for a while and saw Jiang Congshu floating in the water like a corpse.

Then he said: "Let's talk?"

Jiang Congshu said without moving: "There's nothing to talk about, I'm practicing."

Luo Renzhong frowned and said, "Without Mr. Ji's initiation and teaching, you have no inner strength, how can you practice?"

"My senior brother didn't receive the initiation and transfer of kung fu at the earliest. Didn't he still develop his inner strength?"

"He practices Nine Yang Kung and you practice Iron Clothes Shirt. Can it be the same?"

"At first he couldn't read ancient Chinese without sentence fragments, and he didn't understand the meridians and acupuncture points. I was ahead in this regard."

"But you have superpowers that will devour your inner strength. It will be useless even if you develop it."

"..."

After Jiang Congshu was silent for a moment, he sat up in the water. A stream of water appeared behind him and pushed him, like the back of a chair.

"What do you think?" He looked at Luo Renzhong on the shore and said, "Or do you want to ask me to help them cure Senior Brother?"

Luo Renzhong said helplessly: "Are you able to help?"

"No."

"Then what nonsense are you talking about?"

"It's not that I'm talking nonsense, it's just that I feel like you've been talking too much lately."

Jiang Congshu said in a complaining tone: "At the beginning, they either said that the senior brother is mentally ill, or that the senior brother is not a mental illness. The words kept going around. It finally got over, and now it's starting again. Is it interesting?"

"What do you mean by us? Are they good or not? You and I are together. Our current organization is in the Apocalypse Team."

"Bullshit, you are a guardian, you are on the same side as them."

"Then Butler Bai is also one of them?"

"Butler Bai is different."

"What's the difference?"

"She likes my senior brother. Although my senior brother may not like her, it's just different."

Luo Renzhong suddenly asked curiously: "Why do you think Mr. Ji might not like Butler Bai? He is a serious Bai Fumei with a good character and personality, and he can also wake up Mr. Ji."

Jiang Congshu looked around for a while before replying: "You are here every day. May I ask, on average, how many words can Senior Brother speak to Butler Bai every day?"

"This one……"

"Right, I often don't say a word for the whole day. If you really like it, how could it be like this?" Jiang Congshu said gossiping: "Many times I feel that my senior brother is really face-blind."

Luo Renzhong laughed. He didn't want to talk about these gossips. Seeing that Jiang Congshu's mood returned to normal, he talked about his thoughts.

"Cong Wen's idea is actually very simple, you should be able to tell."

"I can't tell." Jiang Congshu said harshly.

Luo Renzhong said helplessly: "I just want to use Mr. Ji's self-certification to make us and more people start to believe that Mr. Ji's super power is really time travel, and then, we can practice the martial arts created by Mr. Ji."

Jiang Congshu remained silent.

Luo Renzhong continued: "I know you can't accept this possibility, because it means that you don't believe that Mr. Ji's super power is time travel. But you don't actually have to accept it, because this is just a possibility. There are no absolutes.”

He hit on the core reason why Jiang Congshu suddenly argued with Wu Ya and then suddenly ran out.

Jiang Congshu, who claims to believe in Ji Tianqi very much, and spent a lot of money to become his disciple when Ji Tianqi was not well-known and his rank was not as high as him, how can he accept that in the eyes of others, he actually does not believe in Ji Tianqi?

And what made him most uncomfortable was...

Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.

[Could it be that I really don’t believe in Senior Brother? 】

"You are a living person, you have your own outlook on life and world view, and you are afraid of death, so at first you did not dare to be a hero or join the Security Administration, and therefore you were hostile to the Security Administration.

These are all your own thoughts.

But now you are a hero, even if you are just doing so in action..."

"Hey." Jiang Congshu interrupted: "Just preach, don't belittle me."

"it is good."

Luo Renzhong responded and continued to preach: "You can have your own ideas, and they can also have theirs. Everyone can have their own ideas about Mr. Ji's superpowers.

So, I think you don’t have to care about what they think, just stick to your own heart.

Believe it or not, it all takes time to witness. It's like... you are not afraid of death now. As long as Mr. Ji is here, you dare to participate in various actions. "

Jiang Congshu was still unwilling to come out of the artificial lake and allowed the lake water to wet his clothes. The waterproof combat uniform blocked the lake water from contaminating his body, reminding him that he was indeed a hero now.

A hero who has participated in many operations.

"Do you know why they didn't ask Teng Yiting to ban the super powers of you, Shen Shili and others?"

Luo Renzhong raised another question and explained: "Logically speaking, as long as Teng Yiting successfully bans your superpowers, you can practice martial arts."

Jiang Congshu replied: "Because you haven't mastered it, and Wu Ya hasn't mastered it either."

"That's right." Luo Renzhong nodded: "And the ban is temporary, but our demand for martial arts is permanent."

Jiang Congshu already understood. He stood up in the lake. The water under his feet continued, holding him up like a high-pressure water gun.

"You want to say that I don't need to think about the issues they said, I just need to stick to my inner views. I don't need to care about whether my thoughts will change, I just need to... practice!"

"I didn't say that, you said it yourself." Luo Renzhong laughed.

"The fact that you can say it means that this is what you think, then just keep doing it. Maybe you can help Mr. Ji prove the facts that Mr. Ji can't prove. Or maybe you can prove what Cong Wen and the others said. That possibility."

Jiang Congshu's eyes brightened.

How can the motivation to practice caused by negative emotions such as dissatisfaction and self-blame compare to what it is now?

He closed his eyes, and then the water rioted.

Dozens of tons of water surged upwards, turning into more than a dozen huge water dragons, flying in the air.

This is his current limit, because he is no longer a war-level water control superpower.

The energy Ji Tianqi took away last time was not replenished.

But this gave him the opportunity to give full play to his superpowers and use up the energy in his body faster.

A fish was lifted up by the waterspout and fell to the shore, twisting its body randomly.

Luo Renzhong reminded: "Just consume energy, there is no need to kill fish."

When his voice fell, a water dragon bumped into it. When the mud splashed, the water dragon swam past the fish as if patrolling its territory.

Those fish were all rolled up and swimming in the water dragon.

Luo Renzhong's eyes brightened, just like Jiang Congshu just now, he knew very well that this required higher control. Otherwise, the fish in the body of the water dragon will only be restrained by the water dragon, just like a fish facing a rushing river and can only drift with the current.

But now, those fish are very free, as if the water flow in the body of the water dragon is very calm.

Jiang Congshu's control has improved again. Luo Renzhong now feels that he no longer needs anyone to help him open the faucet. As long as there is a little water outside, he can use his ability to control water to open faucets, fire hydrants, etc. by himself.

Ten minutes later, Jiang Congshu turned pale, with beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

He felt a bit gritted as he controlled dozens of tons of water to slowly fall into the lake.

When the lake returned to calm, the current beneath his feet also disappeared.

There was a pop.

He fell into the water.

Luo Renzhong was not worried that Jiang Congshu would drown, even though Jiang Congshu's energy was almost exhausted at this moment.

Instead, he watched with great anticipation.

He didn't think that Jiang Congshu could master the iron cloth shirt so quickly, but he knew that this was a good start.

Jiang Congshu, who was once again floating on the water like a corpse, did not deliberately maintain the posture of sitting cross-legged with his five hearts in the sky.

He felt that this way of cultivation was more suitable for him, when he was surrounded by water that was very close to him.

Not only is he practicing Iron Shirt, but he is also continuing to use his superpower to control water.

The trickling stream seemed like hundreds of small tentacles, stroking his body continuously.

[Luo Xiancheng has relatives to help, and so do I. Water is my relatives. 】

Jiang Congshu thought and practiced like this.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but he only knew that a trace of internal force was once again produced in his body.

Because the energy was exhausted and the superpower was in constant use, this trace of internal energy managed to survive for some time and operated for three weeks according to the iron cloth shirt's exercise route.

Before, it was only one and a half weeks!

What made him even more overjoyed was that this time he did not receive the initiation from Ji Tianqi. These internal powers were all developed by himself.

But when his emotions were aroused, it was as if his superpower finally reacted, and silently, it swallowed up all the inner strength he had just developed.

Although his energy recovered a little as a result, this was not the purpose of his practice.

Moreover, no matter how powerful the internal strength is, one that can be practiced for ten years after one year does not mean much to the energy of a superpower.

The key is that after possessing internal strength, you can use various martial arts, which is like awakening multiple superpowers!

"I got it!"

Jiang Congshu suddenly woke up and looked towards the shore with great joy. He was about to say something, but he suddenly froze.

"what are you doing?"

Luo Renzhong raised the lunch box in his hand blankly and said, "Eat, it's time for lunch, I'm hungry."

"..." Jiang Congshu took a deep breath and asked, "Did you bring it to me?"

"Bring it." Luo Renzhong picked up the insulated lunch box next to him and said with a smile, "Tell me first, what did you realize?"

"I've realized that my senior brother is right. It's because my control is not strong enough that I can't practice martial arts! Cong Wen, Wu Ya and the others are just farting."

"Hey, don't always say bad words, they have good intentions too."

"That's also fart." Jiang Congshu insisted: "To think that I don't trust my senior brother is simply stinky."

"..."

Luo Renzhong hesitated to speak. He originally thought Jiang Congshu would bring a different interpretation, but he didn't expect...

[It seems that he really believed it. Sure enough, his mental illness has never been truly cured. Or maybe he fell ill again due to emotional turmoil? 】

【what about me? 】

【I really don’t believe it. 】

Luo Renzhong was sober from beginning to end. After he came to the research center, he saw too much evidence.

For example, the drone that Ji Tianqi took to another world could not capture anything.

This is almost irrefutable proof.

Another piece of ironclad evidence is that Ji Tianqi’s martial arts will also be restricted by gene locks...

While he was thinking silently, Jiang Congshu had already arrived at the shore, opened the thermos box and started eating.

Whether it was exhausting the little energy in his body or practicing Iron Clothes, he felt very hungry.

After he had eaten and drank enough, he noticed the silent Luo Renzhong.

"Don't worry, I think it's because of your talent in martial arts. After my senior brother creates a martial art that can cleanse the marrow of Yi Jing and change the martial arts qualifications, you will definitely become a master."

Luo Renzhong smiled bitterly.

"I'm not in a hurry, just..."

"It's just that you're afraid you won't be able to get in line, right? Hahaha..." Jiang Congshu laughed heartlessly.

In order to learn Ji Tianqi's martial arts, at least one needs to be initiated and taught by Ji Tianqi, and the internal force can be guided to move around the world, Luo Renzhong does not actually have priority.

Even though he is now a non-staff member of Tianqi Team, he still has Jiang Congshu's relationship.

No matter how you look at it, Teng Yiting and others have priority over him.

"Don't laugh, I'll choke after a while." Luo Renzhong said helplessly: "It doesn't matter, you can't do it without superpowers. Martial arts and so on are not very necessary. Moreover, people who need it more should really be allowed to first come."

"Hahaha……"

Jiang Congshu was still laughing, but when Luo Renzhong became angry with his laughter, he said: "You have brains, but not too many, and they are only used when preaching."

"What do you mean?"

"me!"

Jiang Congshu put down his lunch box, pointed at his face and said: "If I can learn the iron cloth shirt, I can learn the method of initiation and transfer of power, and I can learn the method of marrow cleansing in the I Ching. Tell me, who has priority here?" The highest authority?"

Luo Renzhong's eyes brightened.

Jiang Congshu continued: "Although it's definitely not you, you can definitely get in line."

"..." Luo Renzhong asked worriedly: "But what if it still needs to be based on Mr. Ji's will?"

"That's my problem." Jiang Congshu said confidently: "If practicing martial arts requires something similar to the spiritual imprint from senior brother, then I believe that senior brother will definitely give it to me."

[Spiritual imprint? 】

Luo Renzhong suddenly felt that Jiang Congshu's statement was the closest to the truth.

It is closer to the truth than what Cong Wen and the others said, or even what Ji Tianqi said himself.
