Chapter 181: Identifying insects and beasts, the entry for battle!
Yu Cang looked at the little bug that was constantly showing hostility towards him, and began to think about what means he had to pull it out.
This insect looks quite aggressive and its means are unknown. Although he cannot feel the strength of this insect in Xingtian's field of vision, since it has been able to live in the body of this giant Kun for so long, it should be quite strong. At the very least, it should have some strange abilities.
But as for my own means of attack...it seems I don't have any.
He could still use spell cards in the Bloodline Empire, but in the Starry Sky Vision, he couldn't use any soul cards. He didn't know where the contradiction came from.
In this case, it seems that the only means of attack left for me is hand-to-hand combat... I don't know how powerful my rhythmic body is.
Yu Cang was stretching his body, thinking about whether to give it a punch, when suddenly he heard a voice:
"Respected scholar, please help me drive away this knowledge insect. I will compensate you for your lost knowledge. If you don't have a knowledge beast under your command, I am willing to watch over three generations of apprentices for you."
Um?
Yu Cang raised his brows.
This voice... is that the giant Kun talking to me?
Why does it speak the language of Blue Star?
Yu Cang was a little confused, but its words seemed to convey a lot of useful information.
It seems that it has not mentioned its identity, but it directly calls itself a "scholar". Is it because of its rhythmic body, or because only "scholars" can come to the Starry Sky Vision?
But from what he said, he should not be the first person to enter the Starry Sky Vision. But what is certain is that no one on the Blue Star has ever entered the Starry Sky Vision. So this giant Kun should be referring to the civilization of other worlds.
It sounds like in other worlds, the use of starry sky vision should have been very perfect, otherwise this giant Kun would not have said so.
The second half of its sentence contained an even more astonishing amount of information. It seemed as if it had already concluded that as long as it took action, it would lose a certain amount of "knowledge"... Could it be that in this world, battles were fought with knowledge?
Yu Cang thought for a moment, and suddenly, he seemed to think of something.
"If that's the case..." Yu Cang raised his hand, used his finger as a pen, and kept sketching in the void. Soon, a u99 pattern with a special repeating structure was drawn.
Without a formation pen and soul card materials, the pattern drawn should have been just an ordinary pattern. However, after Yu Cang finished drawing it, a magical thing happened. The pattern rushed out of thin air and turned into a ray of light that shot into the body of the insect!
squeak!!
The insect screamed in pain, its face becoming even more ferocious, but it was obviously weak inside. Its countless legs flipped over and drilled deeper into the giant Kun's body.
"Scholar, scholar! Stop it quickly! Don't let it in! Ouch...! Hiss, it hurts, it hurts..." The voice of the giant Kun sounded very urgent.
Yu Cang was stunned at this moment.
Oh my god.
The rules within this starry sky vision area... are pretty awesome.
Can you activate it by simply hand-drawing the Soul Card pattern? What about the Soul Energy consumption? What about the Soul Card materials? Isn't this a bit too unscientific?
Then the card maker is invincible here?
But soon, Yu Cang discovered something wrong.
Because after he finished writing down the structure of the patterns, when he tried to recall them, he found that his memory of this part of the patterns had completely disappeared, and he couldn't remember it no matter how hard he tried!
His memory of the name, function, structure, usage, etc. was completely blank, but he clearly remembered that he had learned this pattern. This feeling of having learned it but not being able to remember it was really uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Yu Cang had just used only a small part of the pattern and only one structure. Although he had forgotten this part, he still clearly remembered the related structures. So he just silently deduced it in his mind for a moment and learned u99 again.
"This starry sky vision... is really magical." Yu Cang exclaimed in amazement.
Here, you can actually use knowledge to fight directly, and the used knowledge will be forgotten directly, and you need to relearn or deduce it.
If you think about it this way, those knowledgeable "scholars" are indeed very strong here. Not only do they have endless methods, but they can also master some simple knowledge immediately after forgetting it, with no cooldown.
Yu Cang might not be that strong. After all, he is still young and his knowledge reserve is still very thin. It is possible that his brain will become empty while fighting and he will become a useless person.
So, after finding the way to fight here, Yu Cang began to hesitate again.
Although he'd heard the giant Kun say it would compensate for the lost knowledge, it hadn't explained how, leaving him unsure. Furthermore, judging by the effect of his attack just now, while the insect appeared to be in pain, it clearly hadn't suffered any damage at all.
But for some reason, the insect seemed to be very afraid of him and did not dare to fight with him at all. It could only shrink into the body of the giant Kun, looking extremely scared of him.
Yu Cang guessed that it might be because his rhythmic body scared it.
Regardless, it wasn't worth it to act now. After all, it seemed that in order to kill this bug, he would have to use a complete Soul Card, but drawing a complete Soul Card pattern was not something that could be re-derived from his mind.
He felt distressed.
Yu Cang was just about to give up when he suddenly had an idea.
etc.
It seems that there is another method I can use.
He looked at his entry recorder.
At present, in order to keep his cultivation speed at a very high level, he has been equipping the items [Meditation] and [Order]. Just now, he suddenly felt that in this place... he seemed to be able to directly use the power of these two items!
However, because these two entries had nothing to do with combat, he did not notice this for a moment.
Now...
Yu Cang's mind moved, and he changed the normal item of the equipment [Orderly] to [Kill]!
Suddenly, a mysterious force seeped into his rhythmic body, and seemed to cause a slight change in the texture of his skin.
The giant Kun had been keeping an eye on Yu Cang, so it naturally noticed any movement he made. But this discovery left it baffled.
What the hell is going on? Isn't the Scholar's Rhythmic Body fixed once it's formed? How can it be changed temporarily?
Moreover, the rhythmic body is something that is born after the self is clarified. The extra things that appeared on your rhythmic body just now are obviously not within the scope of "self"!
Before it could figure out what was going on, it saw Yu Cang raise his hand and snap his fingers.
cut!
A slash suddenly burst out from the fingertips, shot straight into the hole, and slashed the insect!
Swish!
“Squeak! Squeak!”
The little bug howled in pain. This time, its voice was obviously much more tragic. Three of its limbs had been cut off on the spot!
It quickly sped up its movements, working harder to drill deeper, while its pair of mouthparts kept opening and closing, swallowing the three severed limbs.
Yu Cang's expression changed.
It really works!
After equipping [Slash], he can use various postures to launch slash attacks without any restrictions, and there is no worry about forgetting.
Take a look at the entry library. This entry has always been there and it doesn’t matter how you use it.
A smile appeared on Yu Cang's face.
Yes, he likes it very much.
Hey, wait... If this works, then that should work too... Let's try it!
By this time, the insect had already swallowed the leg, and as its mouth opened and closed, it actually spoke human words: "Respected scholar! Please don't kill me. Don't believe its lies. It's just a young beast. It has no knowledge to pay you, and no experience working for other scholars. It's absolutely unreliable to let it take care of an apprentice!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Ju Kun was furious. "Scholar, don't listen to him. I have a lot of knowledge too, and I'm a serious beast reader. If you let me look after my apprentice, there will be absolutely no problems!"
Yu Cang listened quietly to the argument between the two strange beasts, and in his heart he developed a certain understanding of the Starry Sky Vision.
Is the "care apprentice" that the giant Kun mentioned the kind of care that he imagined?
If it is true, then it will save me a lot of effort and save him a lot of time.
Try that one.
Thinking of this, Yu Cang stretched out his hand, but did not activate the entry [Kill], but activated another function of the entry recorder.
"Implant entry: [Migration]!"
Buzz!
The object of Yu Cang's implant this time was not the blank soul card, but the bug!
Only a mysterious voice was heard, and after the entry implantation was activated, the insect's figure disappeared in an instant. When it reappeared, it was outside the body of the giant Kun, in the position designated by Cang.
Seeing that it worked, Yu Cang's smile grew even wider.
Sure enough, entry implantation can also be used to fight in the Starry Sky Vision!
Moreover, after the entries are implanted, the used entries simply enter the normal cooling period and do not disappear or be forgotten.
Even here, there's no such thing as a success rate for embedding entries. It's 100% guaranteed to succeed! ——It's a pity that blank soul cards can't be brought in.
Doesn't this mean that for me, the equipment's attributes are normal attacks, and the other attributes are skills with cooldowns?
That’s great.
While he was thinking about this, the giant Kun and the insects over there were stunned.
Directly...teleported outside?
Ju Kun was startled.
Oh no, the scholar actually used the knowledge related to space for me... This kind of knowledge is very rare, I'm afraid I'll have to pay a heavy price this time... But fortunately, the most important thing is to get rid of that damn knowledge insect. This guy has tortured me for who knows how many years, and I can finally be free!
The giant Kun turned around and was about to say thank you, but the scene before him made him stand there in a daze.
It thought that the scholar had transferred the insects away and that was the end of it, but it didn't expect that this was just the beginning.
Yu Cang took a step forward and pointed.
Entry implantation: [Broken]!
Click!
The insect didn't even have time to react before its body tore into pieces. However, it wasn't dead yet. The core of its body was wriggling rapidly in the air, not caring about its other limbs. It turned around and spewed out a violent stream of air with extraordinary momentum, then fled into the distance.
Yu Cang waved his hand casually: "Entry implantation: [Orderly]"
Suddenly, the violent airflow calmed down, and when it blew closer, it had turned into a breeze that brushed past gently.
Yu Cang's actions were not over yet. He looked at the escaping insect with eager eyes.
The entry implantation was 100% successful.
It would be a shame not to try out the advanced entries when we have such a good opportunity!
That's it!
Yu Cang raised his hand, and his mind had already locked onto the frantically fleeing insect from a distance.
"The term implanted... [Outer Chaos]!"
Buzz...
An invisible wave spread along with Yu Cang's thoughts. Wherever it passed, everything seemed to fall into a still space and time. The rhythm no longer moved, and the body of the beast solidified!
"squeak……"
The insect also stopped running away. It seemed to realize something. It stopped where it was, slowly turned around, and looked at Yu Cang with pleading eyes.
Next second.
Buzz!
The most regular sphere in the world suddenly exploded at the location of the insect, devouring everything around it unreasonably. In an instant, it had expanded to the size of a football field and was still expanding!
The inside of the sphere was a chaotic darkness that seemed to lead to some inexplicable space. As soon as Yu Cang's gaze fell into it, his heartbeat began to accelerate uncontrollably.
No...something's wrong. It seems like things have gone a little too far.
Yu Cang thought about closing the ball, but... there was no response at all.
This sphere was created by the implantation of terms. Now that Yu Cang's [Extra-Boundary Chaos] has cooled down, he no longer has the means to directly control the sphere.
Beside him, the giant Kun was so frightened that it tried to curl up its body and hide behind Yu Cang, as if Yu Cang's body could block his body as big as a continent.
Judging from Ju Kun's reaction, perhaps he really thought so.
"Scholar, you, you, you... please retract your magical powers! I'm scared, wuwuwu... I'm just a child, I haven't worked yet, and I haven't tasted the taste of advanced knowledge... Ahhh, that ball is expanding! Scholar, how about we run? ... Or should I run first?"
Although Ju Kun was extremely anxious, he still hid behind Yu Cang obediently and did not go anywhere.
Yu Cang appeared calm on the surface, but the palms of his hands behind his back were sweating.
Ahem...don't worry, there must be a solution.
Yu Cang tried several entries, but... it was useless. Those entries below the legendary level had no effect on this big ball.
"It seems that the only way to solve the problem of legendary entries is to use legendary entries... Fortunately, I have entries specifically for this situation."
At this moment, he suddenly saw a gaze from the depths of this expanding black ball...?
Something has discovered this place!
Yu Cang raised his brows, stopped trying, and immediately stretched out his hand and tapped lightly.
Term implantation: [Seal]!
interest!
The black sphere stopped expanding immediately, and then, under the influence of an irresistible force, it continued to shrink until it became a point invisible to the naked eye and disappeared.
Peace returned to the Starry Sky Vision Area.
Yu Cang glanced at the areas that were run over by the black sphere. The rhythm was still there, but it was much dimmer and did not seem to have much impact.
Behind Yu Cang, the giant Kun blinked its little eyes, and after confirming that the crisis had been resolved, it finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s so scary, the baby is scared to death!
Its voice was filled with tears. "Wow, Mr. Scholar, you are truly amazing! I have never met a scholar as knowledgeable as you. Meeting you is truly a blessing I have earned in ten lifetimes!"
but.
Although it said this, it didn't really mean it in its heart.
No...did it encounter a scammer?
It's just a matter of dealing with a bug. Is it necessary to show such exaggerated knowledge?
It looks like even tens of thousands of Identifiers can be killed instantly, right?
That’s right, it said that it would compensate for the loss of knowledge caused by Yu Cang during the battle... But it really can’t afford to compensate for knowledge like yours!
And if it's correct, you use the same knowledge to summon the ball and to shut it down... Oh, double the debt, beautiful.
It now really wanted to tell Yu Cang that the deal between them ended after he teleported the consciousness insect out, but it didn't dare.
It was afraid that if it said this, Yu Cang would find out that it couldn't afford to pay the compensation, and it would be bad if such a scary thing grew on its body.
But, but...it really can't afford to pay for it!
Wuwuwu, I wonder if my organs will be used to pay off my debts later... Wuwuwu, please don't, it hurts...
Tears had already welled up in Ju Kun's small eyes.
But it had no choice but to praise Yu Cang madly, hoping that he would be happy later and be gentler when killing it.
Yu Cang didn't know that there were so many things going on in the mind of this giant Kun.
After resolving the issue of the chaos outside the realm, Yu Cang turned around and looked at the behemoth in front of him without saying a word.
When he didn't say anything, Ju Kun became even more panicked.
Wait a minute... Mr. Scholar, what's that look in your eyes...
It suddenly had a feeling that Yu Cang seemed to be looking at which part of its body was valuable.
It's over, it really has to be taken apart and sold...
The longer Yu Cang stood there, the more panicked Ju Kun became.
suddenly.
Yu Cang disappeared.
Um?
The giant Kun quickly lowered its head and looked around, only to find that Yu Cang had disappeared for a while...it was just that he was too small, so he didn't notice him for a while.
Go...go?
No, he must be going somewhere to get some strange tools!
The giant Kun became more and more frightened, but he did not choose to escape.
After all, it was it that asked Yu Cang for help, so even if it was killed, it couldn't just run away!
It is principled!
…
Yu Cang disappeared not because of anything else, but because he stayed in the Starry Sky Vision for too long and his brain couldn't bear it and was squeezed out.
Sitting in his seat, Yu Cang rubbed his brows to soothe his swollen brain.
As he entered more and more times, he could stay in the Starry Sky Vision Area for longer and longer periods of time... At least, he had almost memorized the patterns of the laboratory, and it was now very easy for him to stay in the Starry Sky Vision Area nearby.
But if you stay there for too long, it will still be a headache.
But it’s also a good opportunity to take this time to sort out the current situation.
Well... the origin of this giant Kun is unknown, but according to the insect expert, it is just a cub. If it is a cub, it should be easy to deceive.
This guy must know more about the Starry Sky Vision than I do. It seems that he has also seen many alien civilizations. It would be great if I could get some useful information from him.
After silently sorting out the questions he was going to ask later, Yu Cang gently closed his eyes and entered the starry sky vision again.
…
"Scholar, you are back."
"Well, here I come." Yu Cang's rhythmic body revealed a smile, "Now, let's talk about the issue of compensation."
Ju Kun shuddered, then spoke bitterly, "Um, um... the last two levels of knowledge you used were too high. I don't have the ability to compensate you..."
After saying that, it closed its little eyes, not daring to look at Yu Cang's reaction.
"Oh, I see." Yu Cang nodded slightly, not looking surprised.
He had roughly guessed what the insect was saying when it spoke, but it didn't matter. The knowledge he used was originally provided by the entry recorder, so he didn't lose anything.
"It doesn't matter if you can't afford it. We can discuss other means of compensation."
Ju Kun suddenly showed a look of despair.
It just knows!
"Okay...Okay...then may I ask which parts of mine you need..."
"Parts?" Yu Cang was full of questions. What on earth was this guy thinking? "What are the functions of your parts?"
"Of course, my body parts are very useful!" A hint of pride appeared on the giant Kun's face. "My stomach can store a large amount of knowledge. After processing, it becomes a natural library. My heart is the best material for making a second brain. Once it is made, it can assist scholars in thinking, planning tactics, and even assisting in casting spells. And my..."
Ju Kun couldn't continue talking after this.
Finish, finish, what are you talking about!
Wait, Mr. Scholar, when did your eyes become like this!
Realizing that he had done something stupid, Ju Kun quickly shut his mouth and looked at Yu Cang aggrievedly, hoping that he could forget the above words.
Yu Cang's eyes do look strange now.
Wow, there are people who sell their own organs?
To be honest, after hearing Ju Kun's introduction, he was indeed moved.
After all, it is too confident.
If it wasn't really scared, Yu Cang would have thought that these things were detachable and could be grown as long as it wanted.
"Okay, don't be afraid. I won't hurt you." Yu Cang first calmed Ju Kun down. "Tell me what you meant when you first said 'help me look after the third generation of apprentices'."
"Oh, um, listen to me and let me introduce it to you...wait a minute." Ju Kun was suddenly stunned. He looked at Yu Cang and blinked his small eyes blankly a few times. "You...you don't know this?"
Yu Cang nodded and did not hide anything: "Yes, I don't know."
Upon hearing this, Ju Kun suddenly became excited: "You...you are not the first person in your world to enter the Starry Sky Vision Domain, right?"
"It's probably me."
"Oh my god..." Ju Kun said in shock, "I...I have met a living saint?"
"Saint? What do you mean?"
"Do you know what Starry Sky Vision is?"
"have no idea."
"Then you must have heard that there is such a place in the universe that stores all the knowledge in the world!"
Yu Cang's face shifted slightly: "I have indeed heard of similar legends."
For example, the Akashic Records.
"Those are the clues about Starry Vision that it has left in various worlds."
"Oh? Could it be that this Starry Sky Vision has its own consciousness?"
"No, it doesn't, but it will lead someone to go in and explore everything here."
"...Now that you mention it, this place does look a lot like it."
All existence in the world exists here in the most authentic rhythmic way. It seems that in theory, this place can indeed be said to store all the knowledge in the world... but it should not be that exaggerated.
"Then why do you call me a saint?"
"How could the first person to enter the Starry Sky Vision not be a saint?" Ju Kun said excitedly, "Once such a person exists in a world, the entire world will experience a leap forward because of this person's existence. In most worlds, someone entering the Starry Sky Vision is a turning point in the era's leap! And the person who makes this happen will naturally be revered as a saint by future generations!"
Yu Cang felt a little ashamed.
But this does sound reasonable.
At this point, the giant Kun's voice grew serious. "Scholar, please allow me to join your army. Believe me, I am more valuable to you alive than dead!"
Yu Cang remained calm: "Tell me about it."
"First, you must have many apprentices in the present world, and you must want to bring them into the Starry Sky Vision. However, if you try again and again with ordinary methods, the efficiency is too low. I can use my body to create a safe world in the Starry Sky Vision, which can reduce the number of rhythms seen. This will reduce the pressure on beginners, allowing them to stay in the Starry Sky Vision longer and adapt faster. I also have the ability to send people out of the Starry Sky Vision. In the world I create, I can also pull people in and watch over your apprentices for you."
Yu Cang nodded in understanding.
Sure enough, it was just as he thought... It seemed like he could save himself a lot of trouble.
He asked, "So...do you need anything on a daily basis? I'll see if I can support you."
Upon hearing this, the giant Kun knew something was up. It quickly said, "Don't worry, we beasts are easy to keep alive. Our bodies are naturally made of rhythm, just like yours. However, unlike you, the rhythms that make up me are very low-level. Therefore, I need to occasionally eat some higher-level rhythms to ensure my body's growth. The rest of the time, I can just find some rhythm nearby to eat. I will definitely not starve to death!"
"Eat rhythm." Yu Cang nodded.
That's reasonable.
"Will the rhythm you eat disappear immediately?"
"Of course not! I eat rhythms, just like you learn knowledge. Knowledge will not disappear after being learned, and neither will rhythms—at least not these low-level rhythms nearby."
"That's not bad." Yu Cang smiled. "By the way, I saw what you said in the critical moment just now... You haven't worked yet, and you don't want to die. Now according to what you said, you won't gain anything by working for me, so why bother looking for this job?"
"Scholar, you don't know something," Ju Kun explained. "For us beast readers, high-level rhythms are actually...very difficult to find. For one thing, the manifestations of high-level rhythms are usually in dangerous and secret places. These places are rarely visited by humans, and without people, there's no destiny star shining upon them. In other words, these places don't exist within the Starry Sky Vision.
"Even if I could find someone who ventured into the dangerous area, with my rhythmic body composed of low-level rhythms, it would be difficult to break through the rhythms on the outer layer of the dangerous area. I might be attacked by those highly aggressive rhythms and die directly... Not to mention that each beast requires a different high-level rhythm.
"So, for us, the meaning of our work is to use this to exchange for some high-level rhythms from scholars in this world. After all, as the beasts of consciousness age, the required rhythm level will become higher and higher. If we don't have high-level rhythms to replenish for a period of time, we will die."
"So that's how it is." Yu Cang understood. "It's indeed a win-win solution...Okay, you can help me look after the third generation of apprentices, right? Deal."
"No, no, no." Ju Kun said quickly, "Well, well... If possible, I hope to continue to serve you..."
Yu Cang raised his brows, but then he understood why.
Because I am a "saint".
The saint is the first person in the world to enter here, so he certainly has no subordinates. At this time, joining here means you are a veteran, and the saint must have many disciples, and they must be very powerful. Let alone three generations, as long as things develop normally, there will definitely be people who remember this giant Kun in the next thirty or three hundred generations, knowing that it follows the saint and are willing to treat it well.
So it seems like he thinks he got a free meal ticket.
Yu Cang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but this kind of thing would also benefit him and Lan Xing, so he had no reason to refuse.
"Then it depends on your performance."
"Don't worry, I will work hard and live up to your expectations!" The fighting spirit burned in Ju Kun's eyes.
Oh my god, a young beast of consciousness meets a young saint, what an epic development!
If you don't seize this opportunity, how can you still be considered an animal expert?
At this time, Yu Cang said: "Shing Beast, do you have a name?"
Ju Kun shook his head: "No... Beasts usually get names when they get their first job."
"Then I'll take it." Yu Cang thought for a moment, "Do you have a specific species name for your beast identification?"
"No... The beasts of consciousness were born in rhythm. Almost every beast of consciousness has a different appearance and abilities. If we define races, there would probably be as many races as there are beasts of consciousness."
"Is that so? Well then." Yu Cang raised his head. The giant Kun's body seemed like a huge cosmic bubble, with colorful stars in it, like a microcosm of the entire world.
"How about calling you Jieying?"
"Okay!" Jieying was very happy, "Great! I have a name!"
Yu Cang smiled.
The cold should be gone. I'll add a little update today to get a feel for it and continue tomorrow.
