"Alright, then I'll teach you together with this lady in white."
Now, Yanqing was no longer as arrogant as before, but appeared much more humble. This was mainly because he was unsure whether Baizhi was secretly hiding some strange abilities.
"Hey, I want to learn too!"
Bai Lu, who had been watching from the sidelines for a long time, said, "At least I can control the power of lightning. I should be able to learn this swordsmanship, right?"
"Those old men always say I'm no good, but I refuse to believe it! I can't improve my combat abilities!"
Bai Lu said angrily.
“Of course, that’s no problem. Teaching one person is teaching, and teaching two people is teaching too.” Yanqing and Li Sushang nodded at the same time.
After the sun and moon had cycled through the cave, Bai Zhi, dressed in a specially customized retro-style high-tech outfit and carrying several smaller flying swords on her back, stood in the Cloud Cavalry's training ground.
Standing in front of Bai Zhi and Bai Lu was Li Sushang, who had her sword planted firmly on the ground.
"Little Baizhi, and Miss Bailu, what I'm going to teach you now is a family martial art. Although my mother said it's best not to pass it on to outsiders, I think it's not a bad thing to share a powerful martial art with everyone."
"Are you sure your martial arts skills are alright?"
Bai Lu looked at Li Sushang, who was struggling to lift the sword, with a suspicious expression. If she couldn't even lift the sword, how could she teach someone?
She began to suspect that Bai Zhi had specifically chosen this Yunqi soldier named Li Sushang because she wanted to slack off during training.
"Hey hey hey."
Hearing Bai Lu's question, Li Sushang was not angry. Instead, she scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly and explained, "It's not that I'm not skilled enough, but this sword of mine is also our family heirloom, called the Xuanyuan Sword, and it's incredibly heavy."
"Although it is heavy, it is very powerful and also helps my usual cultivation."
“But we don’t have the Xuanyuan Sword either,” Bai Lu said.
"It's alright. I even took a standard longsword from the Cloud Cavalry for you guys."
After Li Sushang finished speaking, she took out a simple longsword from her back. Unlike when she was holding the Xuanyuan Sword, which looked a bit difficult, Li Sushang now seemed much more at ease.
After coughing twice, Li Sushang cleared her throat and said, "I will teach you two your family's unique skill, called Taixu Sword Qi, which consists of five elements: mind, form, intention, soul, and spirit."
"Oh~" Bai Zhi nodded, "So, Teacher Su Chang, what level have you reached in your cultivation?"
"My skills are not yet proficient; I've only reached the level of form and essence." Li Sushang's face was slightly flushed. "But it doesn't matter. I've already memorized some things about the Taixu Sword Qi perfectly, so teaching you two shouldn't be a problem."
"This Taixu Sword Qi is different from the usual Cloud Cavalry Technique. The standard Cloud Cavalry Technique involves drawing elemental power into one's body and storing it. But Taixu Sword Qi is different. Those who cultivate the sword heart can regard heaven and earth as their dantian and transform their physical body into meridians, thus unleashing powerful combat strength."
"And this sword heart has four realms: still water, dustless, clear mirror, and the supreme realm of emptiness."
"Of course, sword heart is not so easy to condense, but before that, we can first learn about form essence. This is a simpler sword technique and also the training method that can bring out combat power the fastest."
54 My First Trip to Another World
“That’s right, Little Angelica, you’ve already gotten a little bit started.”
Inside the Yunqi Army's encampment, Li Sushang watched Bai Zhi demonstrating her sword techniques step by step and nodded with great satisfaction.
She had been training Bai Zhi and Bai Lu for three days. In these three days, Bai Zhi's talent had exceeded her expectations. Although she hadn't reached the level of Yan Qing, a recognized swordsmanship genius, she was definitely far beyond ordinary people.
After all, the form and essence of the Void Sword Qi are not so easy to cultivate.
"Phew... I'm exhausted." Bai Zhi shook her hands. In order to refine the Tai Xu Form Essence, she had been wielding her sword for three consecutive days. If her swords hadn't been specially made to be a smaller size, instead of the 80KG flying sword that Yan Qing had given her, she probably would have been exhausted to death.
"Teacher Su Chang, how about we change our environment? It's just too dry here..."
Holding a miniature flying sword as well, Bai Lu said listlessly, "As a Vidyadhara Dragon Lord who is close to water, I feel like I'm constantly dehydrated in this desert environment."
If she stays a few more days, she'll probably dry up like the white dew.
"Oh dear, look at my brain, I forgot this. It's alright, Miss Bailu, let's not practice here today. Let's go to the waters near Dan Ding Si. I just received news that the Release Gang is active there. We can stop those guys while we practice."
Li Sushang patted her head and said embarrassedly.
"That group that releases animals? They really need to be disciplined. Last time, those guys released a bunch of chili peppers into the sea near Dan Ding Si. I ate a mouthful while swimming in it, and it burned me to death!!"
Upon hearing the group of people Su Chang mentioned, Bai Lu immediately became aggressive, while Bai Zhi smiled helplessly.
She had heard of the Release Gang's reputation both in the game and in the real Xianzhou, and had even seen them. Those guys liked to release bizarre things into the sea. Even though it was a beach, they insisted on releasing freshwater fish into it.
"Let's go, let's go take a look!" Li Sushang didn't dawdle and led Baizhi and Bailu towards the Dan Ding Division.
Before long, the group arrived at the beach of Dan Ding Si. There, they saw several people standing nearby, whispering among themselves.
"Hey, what are you guys doing? Cloud Cavalry, don't move!"
Li Sushang rushed forward quickly, and the sound startled the group of people, causing several objects flashing with blue light to fall to the ground.
“This is…” Li Sushang picked up the object that was flashing blue light from the ground and frowned.
“Dear Miss Yunqi, we did nothing wrong. We were just releasing the reactor.”
Bai Zhi:?
White Dew: ?
A big question mark appeared above Li Sushang's head. "What did you just say? A release reactor? Do you want to hear what you're talking about?"
Although Li Sushang was not highly educated, she still understood that a reactor should never be released into the ocean.
Even Bai Zhi was speechless. Although the release gang in the game was outrageous, she always thought that at least in reality, these people should be a little more normal. But these guys were like a release reactor?
"Is there anything wrong with that? This primitive cold fusion reactor was created using elements from the ocean. We are simply releasing these elements back into the sea."
The members of the animal release gang were still proudly defending themselves, but it was clear that Li Sushang was not willing to listen to their excuses.
"In the name of the Cloud Cavalry, I hereby announce that you have been arrested for polluting the environment. Come with us."
As Li Sushang spoke, she handed the reactor in her hand to Bai Zhi.
"Little Angelica, hold this for me. I'll take it to the Bureau of Earth Balance as evidence later."
"it is good...."
As soon as Bai Zhi began to answer, a familiar mechanical voice immediately popped up.
[Ding! Relevant elements detected. Map wheel activated immediately.]
As soon as the sentence popped up, a virtual spinning wheel appeared in Bai Zhi's mind.
"This is...."
Bai Zhi was initially confused, but then she focused her attention on the words on the spinning wheel.
These words include—StarCraft, Overwatch, Pacific Rim, Marvel Cinematic Universe, and a whole bunch of others.
After a moment of silence, Bai Zhi looked at the reactor in her hand again and roughly understood what was going on. Most likely, these worlds all had elements related to reactors.
"Never mind, let's just transfer it first..."
After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi decided to start the spinning wheel in her mind.
If possible, she would really like to go to the StarCraft universe. After all, compared to Marvel's world, which is full of retconning and chaotic systems, StarCraft's storyline is smoother and it's very legendary and interesting.
If she could, she really wanted to ride on the Hyperion with Jim Raynor to save the universe and, by the way, see what the Queen of Blades really looks like in reality.
However, the system clearly had no intention of granting Bai Zhi's wish. The wheel slowly came to a stop, and then the pointer pointed to a different world.
"It's the Marvel Cinematic Universe?"
Bai Zhi was somewhat surprised. Marvel was a world she didn't really want to go to, mainly because the relationships between the characters were complicated. She only remembered the storylines of a few main characters, such as Nick Fury and the absolute protagonist, Iron Man.
[World selected, now proceeding with randomization... Oddities]
[Random Oddity Item - Uncertainty Box (Upon obtaining this item, you will randomly receive 1-2 charms to temporarily unlock it; this will take effect after traveling to the Marvel Cinematic Universe)]
Various system notification sounds kept ringing out.
After the system notification sounded, Bai Zhi immediately felt that her surroundings were gradually turning black, and then some colorful streams of light appeared. Although she had never experienced this before, her intuition told her that she seemed to be leaving this world.
This is... my first real adventure to another world!
"By the way, System, I've chosen General Jingyuan and Fu Xuan as my partners for this trip!"
Bai Zhi would never forget this. Going to such a dangerous place as the Marvel world, if she didn't bring Da C with her, she could only handle ordinary people with her small arms and legs. But if she faced a Celestial-level powerhouse like Thanos or the Ancient One Odin, she would definitely be beaten to a pulp.
"The system has sent an invitation and is deducting the corresponding points!"
The instant the system notification appeared, Fu Xuan and Jing Yuan had a sudden realization: Bai Zhi was inviting them to another world.
"Have we finally arrived? I will be heading to another world shortly. You should inform Lady Yu Kong that she will be acting as general for the foreseeable future."
Jing Yuan stood up from his desk, full of vigor and confidence.
55 Angelica: System, did you come to the wrong place?
"You...no, hello, esteemed Ancient One."
Looking at the person in front of her, Bai Zhi greeted him very politely, even a little reservedly.
She's not in the desert where some cliché Iron Man storyline begins, but in a rather antique-looking building.
Inside this antique building, a bald man with an androgynous appearance sat quietly with his eyes closed, the incense burner in front of him emitting a pleasant fragrance.
Bai Zhi recognized this person; it was none other than the Sorcerer Supreme from the Marvel Universe—the Ancient One.
This Sorcerer Supreme was extremely powerful, having stolen the power of the Dark Dimension to achieve a variety of amazing abilities, including invisibility, teleportation, teleportation, and flight. Even among the powerful beings at the level of the Heavenly Father, she was ranked high and possessed a wide range of skills.
This damn system, does it have a teleportation function? How did it teleport her directly to this big shot's face?
Bai Zhi was internally cursing wildly.
With the dog talisman, Bai Zhi was naturally not afraid of death, but that didn't mean she wasn't afraid of other methods, such as...
The green gem hanging on the Ancient One's chest, which is shimmering with green light, is the Time Stone, which symbolizes the power of time.
Even someone as powerful as Dormammu was tormented by the power of time, let alone her.
Moreover, this person possesses powerful teleportation abilities. Even if she were immortal, if she were directly thrown into some celestial body in the universe, such as the sun or a neutron star, she would most likely not fare well.
Seeing that Gu Yi didn't react, Bai Zhi looked around.
"Maybe... we should just try running away..."
Bai Zhi tried moving a little, then a little more, and then she found that she was back to the starting point the next second.
Clearly, the Sorcerer Supreme had noticed her; he simply didn't want to speak at the moment.
"General Jingyuan, Fu Xuan, where are you?!"
Bai Zhi was on the verge of tears. If she encountered an ordinary superhero, such as Iron Man or Captain America, she was confident that she could easily defeat him by using multiple talismans in combination. However, when faced with a powerful being like the Ancient One, who possessed a wealth of magical abilities, she really had no way to deal with him.
After all, his masterful spatial abilities were enough to subdue her.
She now has a feeling that she is a criminal waiting for a judge to pronounce her sentence.
The fact that the other person was so silent made her feel very uneasy.
[Ding! The Uncertainty Box has activated. You have temporarily unlocked the Sheep Charm LV2.]
[Sheep Talisman LV2: Allows the user's soul to leave their body and can cast small-area illusions, dealing damage to enemy souls equal to the damage within the illusion.]
However, just as Bai Zhi was feeling uneasy, a system notification popped up immediately.
The power of the Sheep Charm has been temporarily unlocked to LV2, but Bai Zhi wisely refrained from using it on the Ancient One.
Just kidding, she still has a clear understanding of the power of talismans. Generally speaking, only level 3 talismans are effective against strong people at the level of Commander, while level 2 talismans are effective against supernatural power users who are stronger than ordinary people.
A being of the Heavenly Father level is no weaker than a being of the Commander level. It's best not to show off your illusions in front of the Ancient One, who is proficient in magic, lest you fail to accomplish your goal and instead get a beating.
However, does being bald have some special advantage in the Marvel Universe? Thanos is bald, a certain bald guy is bald, and this Ancient One in front of us is also bald.
If I shave my head, will I get some kind of mysterious bonus?
After thinking it over carefully, Bai Zhi still couldn't accept herself becoming a bald little girl, so she gave up.
Good looks are everything; talent is only temporary, good looks are what truly matter.
