Xia Nation's Superpower Research Center.
The day after the martial arts manual was verified, Ding Yun was secretly transported here for protection, and her parents and siblings were also properly resettled.
What followed were various examinations.
Comprehensive physical examinations.
However, no matter how they operated, they couldn't detect Ding Yun's so-called second superpower fluctuation. In the end, they only discovered that Ding Yun had profound internal energy and a terrifyingly high mental strength, exceeding the current highest level of ten.
But it was a foregone conclusion that Ding Yun could transform the superpowers of those she had contact with into martial arts manuals under certain conditions. Therefore, the researchers could only speculate that Ding Yun's second superpower might be related to her super strong mental power, or that her second superpower was inherently a mental one.
And mental power could interfere with the detection instruments.
This led to the current situation.
Therefore, they had to change their approach from precise instrument detection to verbal questioning and communication.
Soon, after discussions, they brought Ding Yun to the research institute's office and selected a few handsome researchers to question and record.
At the same time, Ding Yun cooperated and described directly:
"My superpower is very special. I'm not sure yet what specific conditions are required to transform a contact person's superpower into a martial arts manual, but based on my experience, long-term interaction will definitely lead to successful transformation.
And then there are the martial arts manuals I transform.
They are closely related to the superpower type and level of the superpower user. To be more precise, they are directly equivalent.
You should have seen the "Returning Spring Skill" that I materialized from my father's healing superpower, right? That "Returning Spring Skill" only has five layers. Once mastered, it can only be comparable to ordinary intermediate healing superpowers.
This is the limitation of my superpower.
Because my father is only an intermediate healing superpower user, the martial arts manual I materialized based on his superpower, even if cultivated to the highest level, can only reach the level of a normal intermediate healing superpower.
Other materialized manuals are similar.
So I think, perhaps I can interact more with some advanced or even top-tier superpower users next. Then, I should be able to materialize advanced and top-tier martial arts manuals. Of course, this is just my speculation. Feel free to cooperate or not."
At present, the only two methods Ding Yun could think of to gain enough influence were either to become the greatest expert in the world or the ancestor of martial arts, creating as many high-level manuals as possible.
And these two methods.
Undoubtedly required more interaction with top-tier superpower users.
Completing missions to drop top-tier manuals.
This was why Ding Yun was uncharacteristically so candid, reformulating part of the functions of her wuxia game system and presenting it truthfully after a slight transformation.
"Understood, we will apply for it!
And another question: we detected that the internal energy in your body should exceed ten years. As far as we know, the martial arts manuals you cultivate cannot be freely transformed with your superpowers, right?
So, is it convenient to reveal how you cultivated such profound internal energy in less than two years?"
The person responsible for the conversation with Ding Yun, after recording what Ding Yun had just described, immediately posed a new question and waited for Ding Yun's answer.
"I understand what you mean. According to the martial arts manuals, even for a genius, it would take about five years to cultivate such profound internal energy as mine.
For ordinary people, it might even take ten years.
And I only spent less than two years.
So you have doubts about this, right?
This is actually due to two factors. On one hand, those martial arts manuals were materialized by me using my superpower. At the same time as the manuals were materialized, I had already completely mastered them. In wuxia novels, this is equivalent to receiving a 'divine transmission' (guàndǐng).
I instantly understood the manuals thoroughly, with a proficiency comparable to the creator of the manuals. Oh no, I am the creator, so this is also reasonable, right?
Because I thoroughly understood the manuals, cultivating them naturally yields twice the results with half the effort, making me faster than everyone else.
Another reason is that I eat a lot and eat well. This is truly important, after all, martial arts cultivation is essentially transforming essence into qi. If you eat enough, your body will have enough material to absorb and refine into internal energy. The meat of mutated animals and mutated sea creatures, as well as animals and sea creatures with superpowers, are particularly nourishing.
My family was not short of money before.
Buying the meat of superpower animals was easy."
Ding Yun paused and then added:
"There's also one more point, which should be very important to you. Before coming here, I conducted an experiment with my father, mother, brother, and sisters.
We had them continuously transform their superpowers into internal energy.
This is to rapidly increase the growth of internal energy.
This experiment was successful. If martial arts cultivation is equivalent to transforming essence into qi, at least in the early stages, then superpowers are equivalent to having already entered the innate qi-refining stage. Directly filling internal energy with superpowers makes martial arts cultivation much faster than cultivating by eating more good things.
And theoretically.
There should be no obstacles before the innate stage.
Once martial arts are cultivated to a certain level and enough internal energy is accumulated, converting all that internal energy into superpowers at once might further advance the progress of superpowers and form a virtuous cycle.
The only limitation is that martial arts and superpowers must correspond to each other, and internal energy and superpowers must be mutually convertible."
"Another point is that I believe there might be no absolutely useless superpowers in this world. Many superpowers are considered useless simply because their level is too low.
Even the most useless superpower will have some special aspects once it reaches a certain level.
My 'verbal profanity' superpower is an example. At level five, this superpower already has an attack effect. Now at level nine, it can even create a 'breath domain' that can make people in the domain infatuated or suffer immensely, depending on my will. Its power is not inferior to some powerful superpowers.
So I personally suggest that you should materialize suitable martial arts manuals for each different superpower as soon as possible using my superpower. Superpowers and martial arts will promote each other better.
As for those without superpowers, there's nothing that can be done.
They can only improve their strength by simply eating more good things and cultivating diligently!"
Ding Yun had done a lot of homework before the meeting and deduced some possible connections between martial arts and superpowers based on the current situation. She was now telling them the truth to help them avoid detours and troubles.
