When Lufan opened up all his meridians, he thought he could finally escape the shadow of death and no longer live on the edge. Suddenly, an overwhelming pressure descended upon him, catching him off guard and suppressing him from body to soul.
The sudden change left Lufan stunned, and it took him a long time to regain his composure and start contemplating what was happening.
First, he ruled out the possibility of human interference; no martial arts master would be bored enough to play tricks on him, and this pressure was constant, unlike a person's aura.
Since it wasn't human-made, there was only one remaining reason: it was his own issue.
Combining the information he had gathered over the years with some of his own speculations, Lufan reached a conclusion: he was being rejected by this world.
To clarify, it meant that Lufan himself conflicted with certain rules of this world, leading to a repulsive force directed at him, as if the world wanted to erase him.
This didn't mean that the world held animosity towards him; the world itself was unconscious. It was merely a manifestation of certain rules, similar to how a body reacts instinctively to eliminate a virus. In this analogy, Lufan was like a small virus being rejected by the world, and as for how this rejection occurred, it naturally meant his annihilation!
Why was he being rejected by the world? This should relate to Lufan's identity as a traveler; he wasn't from the Heavenly Martial World and perhaps inherently mismatched with it.
As for why this situation hadn't arisen before, it was likely because Lufan had been too weak in the past to trigger the world's rules. Once he opened up his meridians and became akin to an innate martial artist, gaining some strength, he finally touched upon these rules, resulting in this predicament.
After analyzing the cause, Lufan didn't panic much. Having lived under constant threat of death for seven years had forged his will into something incredibly resilient. Even when faced with significant problems, he could quickly calm down and think of solutions.
Even upon realizing that he was being rejected by the world and would have to confront it entirely, he didn't despair. Instead, he immediately began analyzing the current situation in an attempt to find a way out.
First of all, it was clear that the world wasn't specifically targeting him; it was merely a manifestation of its rules. For instance, a person from flatlands suddenly arriving at high altitudes would struggle to breathe; a fish jumping onto land would suffocate. This wasn't the world intentionally causing harm; it was simply an expression of inherent rules.
With this understanding, Lufan breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, if the world were deliberately targeting him, there would be no hope at all.
How can one avoid such a situation? For a person from the plains who wants to breathe easily, the best method is, of course, to return to the plains. A fish that wants to avoid suffocation should return to the water. For Lufan, who wishes to avoid rejection, the best option is to return to his original world.
Unfortunately, he cannot return to Earth. Thus, the only remaining option is to become stronger!
If a person has a robust body, he will not be affected by changes in altitude when breathing. If a fish can alter its breathing method, it will not suffocate. If Lufan can continuously grow stronger, he will be able to resist the world's rejection of him.
The answer is obvious, but how to become stronger is a significant challenge.
Lufan has discovered that the pressure the world exerts on him is not constant; it gradually intensifies over time.
Over the years, in order to precisely control his own strength and avoid sudden death from ridiculous reasons like falling, Lufan has become intimately familiar with his body. He can clearly estimate that roughly every day, the world's pressure increases by one percent.
He has also calculated that if the pressure on him doubles, his body will not be able to withstand it and will explode.
In other words, for Lufan to survive, he must not only become stronger but also do so at a rate that exceeds the increase in pressure.
This is akin to the battle between a virus and the human body. The human body must continually upgrade its immune system to eliminate the virus, while the virus must constantly mutate and enhance its vitality to avoid being eradicated. Unfortunately, Lufan is like that virus.
It truly is a sad story; wanting to rapidly enhance one's strength is not so simple.
Currently, Lufan has only practiced two martial arts: Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill and Northern Darkness Divine Skill. As for Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, let's not even mention it; its cultivation speed is painfully slow.
Regarding Northern Darkness Divine Skill, although Lufan modified it and enhanced its power, this improvement only manifests in energy absorption and transformation; it does not significantly strengthen his physical body.
As for the cultivation methods in the Library, they are merely ordinary and cannot meet Lufan's requirements.
There was no choice; in the end, Lufan had to once again walk the old path of creating his own martial arts techniques.
Creating martial arts techniques cannot be done carelessly; it requires great attention to detail. After years of research, Lufan discovered that the prevalence of martial arts in this world was not without reason. Its cultivation system is the most suitable for the masses, and the first step in martial arts training is to refine the skin before practicing combat.
The Refining Skin Realm is the first rank of martial arts cultivation. For this realm, Lufan selected the most suitable technique from his memories of martial arts manuals as a framework for improvement and creation. This technique is the Iron Cloth Technique!
Despite its ordinary name, the Iron Cloth Technique is actually a very formidable form of cross-training. It can make a person's skin extremely tough, even reaching a state where it is impervious to blades and bullets—of course, this refers to those on Earth, but its effectiveness is evident.
Lufan aimed to use the Iron Cloth Technique's martial arts philosophy as a skeleton, combining it with insights from this world’s Refining the Skin methods to create an evolved version of the Iron Cloth Technique.
This was a monumental project; even a small mistake could lead to unsatisfactory results. After countless failures, Lufan finally created this new Iron Cloth Technique one year later, which was eight years after he had crossed over.
During that year, although he was also cultivating the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill and studying the Refining the Skin methods from the Library, his progress was far from satisfactory and lagged behind the pressure imposed on him by this world.
His body was already under immense strain. Lufan estimated that by today at most he had ten days left before the pressure would reach his limit. Fortunately, he had finally completed the brand-new Iron Cloth Technique.
Now he just needed to wait for his physical condition to recover before he could begin his training.
However, before that, Lufan still needed to finish his own work. After all, he was still a servant at Qingyang Academy, which was crucial for his livelihood. No matter what, everyone needs to eat; even heroes can be stumped by a lack of money.
When Lufan arrived at the Servants' Quarters, he was greeted by Xing Laotou's sour face.
