"Ouch, ouch, ouch~"
Sun Shiyu squatted on Tao Yu, propping herself up with one hand on Tao Yu's chest and the other covering her head as she raised it.
Her face turned pale from the sharp pain, and she kept sucking in cold air.
Meanwhile, Tao Yu lay there somewhat dazedly on the ground, staring up blankly.
Delicious...
"Hiss~ Does transferring a Visualization Diagram hurt so much? Nearly sent me off to the other side."
Propping up on Tao Yu's body to stand up, Sun Shiyu staggered a bit, kept knocking on her head with her fists and then glanced down at Tao Yu without forgetting.
"Sorry, haha, I've never transferred it before, no experience."
She then found her slippers that had fallen off during the fall, barefoot, and after slipping them on, she tapped her toes a few times.
"No need to apologize..."
Tao Yu let out a slow breath, his eyes somewhat glazed.
"Does it feel unpleasant? I didn't feel it when Mom passed it to us."
By this time, Sun Shiqing had also stood up, came over, touched her older sister's forehead, then rolled her eyes at her.
"It's not that you haven't fully mastered it, right? I told you, I'm not even at level six yet. How could you advance so quickly? Didn't you trick yourself into thinking you've reached level six?"
"Looking for a beating, huh?"
Sun Shiyu glared at Sun Shiqing, and in an instant, an invisible force of telekinesis burst forth, causing her hair to fly about.
And mockingly, Sun Shiqing was pushed up against the ceiling by an invisible force.
Thump~
A little dust fell from the ceiling.
"I was wrong, sis, I was wrong! Ask him first, see if it worked."
Sun Shiqing, 'pinned' to the ceiling, with disheveled hair and clothes in disarray revealing her belly button, hastily begged for mercy, indirectly bringing up Tao Yu.
"Ahem, it should be effective. The Visualization Diagram was very clear, like the statue in our square."
"Oh, so it was successful."
Upon hearing that, Sun Shiyu released her little brother immediately, letting him fall onto the sofa with a thump.
This made Tao Yu involuntarily shrink his neck.
Having seen the weapons they carried, Tao Yu had some guesses about their capabilities. Even the power used in jest was strong; truly befitting of the term 'Chosen Ones'.
When Sun Shiyu angrily attacked Sun Shiqing earlier, Tao Yu had truly felt a daunting sense of threat.
If she wanted, that force from before could have snapped his neck!
Just think about it, performing Myriad Streams Five Forms on the spot with might and main, then having your neck twisted from afar, hiss...
"Well, that's alright then, just lacking some experience. Slowly with time... forget it, I won't transfer anymore. From now on, whoever wants to transfer can do it themselves."
Sun Shiyu pouted and continued to hold her head, seemingly in pain.
Tao Yu and Sun Shiqing both sat obediently to one side, nodding their heads like pecking chickens.
"Alright, that's it for today. Go back and practice well, combine the Visualization Diagram with the previous steps, see if you can get the hang of it. If not, come find me again tomorrow."
"Corpse refinement... Man-made..."
Sun Shiqing furrowed her brow, thinking hard.
If they had already come to this place, they would have learned from the researchers that the Corpse King was the source.
It was certain that there was a significant human element involved.
But a post-apocalyptic world wasn't anything unusual; the old Development Zones also had their share, with all sorts of inexplicable reasons, even illogical ones, leading to the end of the world.
They hadn't paid much attention at first; the Abyss, after all, was normal.
But now, a logic had suddenly emerged within, which couldn't be ignored and required deep thought.
"I got it, you can go back first. I'll discuss with my older sister tomorrow. Don't go wandering off."
"Okay."
Tao Yu certainly wouldn't take decisions upon himself.
To be blunt, there was a huge gap between himself and them, both in terms of status and strength. Even though their current communication was 'pleasant', he absolutely shouldn't get ahead of himself...
...
"No place to stay, you're not going to turn me away, are you?"
Tao Yu knocked on Jack's door, the sky had darkened, and he couldn't be bothered to fuss anymore, so he decided to bunk there for the night.
"Just stay here, it's a double room anyway."
Jack didn't mind and opened the door to let Tao Yu in.
As a 'Chosen One', Jack did get some special privileges; his dormitory was much nicer than the others'.
"Thanks."
"What for? It's a good chance for you to tell me more about Fist Technique."
Jack clearly seemed somewhat addicted to the Myriad Streams Five Forms.
As someone who could passively utilize Yuan Force, his bodily sensations were much stronger than Tommy's or Senke's.
"Alright, alright, go get cleaned up first, you reek."
Tao Yu waved his hand in front of his face in disgust at Jack.
Jack sniffed himself on the left, then on the right, and then said somewhat puzzled,
"I don't stink though."
"Hurry up!"
"Oh..."
...
After going through some key points with Jack and dealing with that, Tao Yu returned to bed to begin integrating the 'Meditation Technique'.
Although Sun Shiyu's drawings of the little figures were abstract and Tao Yu's mind was somewhat elsewhere, the important parts were clearly expressed.
The Visualization Diagram was also successfully imprinted in his mind, and all the conditions had been fulfilled; there was no reason it wouldn't work.
The slightly troublesome thing was that even now, Tao Yu found it hard to quiet his mind.
His head was full of those cartoon drawings...
