Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi

Chapter 496 - 344: Acceptance into Service

Wang Ye carried a sports bag and headed for the mountain path.

He appeared calm, but was actually using his hearing and sense of smell to observe the source of the gazes behind him.

After observing for over ten seconds, he had basically figured out the situation of those people.

There were four of them, all young men in their twenties or early thirties.

They were slightly muscular, with extremely strong cardiopulmonary function, and walked with solid and orderly steps, indicating they were well-trained over the years.

What caught Wang Ye’s attention was their excellent reconnaissance abilities. If it weren’t for his superhuman hearing and sense of smell, he wouldn’t have noticed them at all, as they made no sound at all, not even a heartbeat or breathing noise.

During this time, Wang Ye tried glancing in their direction.

But every time he turned his head, the four would instantly hide in a position he couldn’t see.

This made Wang Ye even more curious about their identities, so as he walked, he carefully observed the items the group behind him carried on them.

Though these items couldn’t be sensed through hearing or smell, Wang Ye could use Primordial Qi to sense them, simulating the shapes of the items they carried in his mind.

The first thing he sensed was the documents in their pockets, like ID cards, bank cards, driver’s licenses, etc. Since he couldn’t see the clear contents of these documents, he couldn’t determine their identities from them.

Wang Ye intended to continue sensing, but suddenly, he caught a faint smell of gunpowder,

Wang Ye was slightly startled and continued to carefully sense the origin of the gunpowder.

The result was as expected.

Sure enough, they were carrying several guns on them.

"They even carried firearms..." Wang Ye quickly pondered in his mind, "Are they criminals or police? No, neither of these would have such excellent reconnaissance skills, these four might be from some kind of special forces unit."

Only a unit with specialized combat skills training could display such excellent reconnaissance skills. There might also be some organizations Wang Ye didn’t know about, but those probabilities were too small.

Wang Ye was a bit puzzled, why would the military suddenly come looking for him?

Could it be that his displayed power was too excessive?

But this explanation seemed unreasonable.

One must know that he had displayed power far beyond human limits several months ago,

If they were apprehensive of him, they should have come to find him back then.

So this time, there must be another purpose.

Wang Ye pondered for a while but had no clue. He lacked even a bit of intelligence on the other party, so trying to figure something out was futile.

He didn’t intend to startle the enemy, if the four behind him were indeed, as he guessed, military personnel.

Then disturbing them now would only be counterproductive and arouse their apprehension.

Arriving at his usual training spot,

he then sat cross-legged on the ground and began to cultivate the Creation Skill.

Other skills could easily cause widespread damage to the surrounding flora.

If he was training alone, it wouldn’t matter.

But now he had four men behind him who were suspected to be soldiers.

In this situation, quietly cultivating the Creation Skill was naturally better.

He sat quietly cross-legged on a giant stone platform that seemed to have been cut with some unknown tool.

Gradually, a faint glow began to radiate from his body, spreading in all directions,

This was the result of the Human Body Glow reaching a certain concentration as he instinctively released it.

However, it didn’t appear exaggerated to the naked eye, resembling the reflection of moonlight on his body.

Moreover, the distance between the four men and him was quite far, so they didn’t notice anything unusual.

Every pore of Wang Ye seemed to be breathing in and out Primordial Qi from all around.

Glowing with mysterious radiance, releasing mist.

This cultivation session, strictly speaking, was his first after acquiring the Creation Skill.

But he didn’t feel any awkwardness at all, instead, he found it extremely smooth to cultivate.

It was as if the essence and method of the Creation Skill were his instinct, something he was born knowing.

At the same time, Wang Ye also keenly sensed the huge difference between the Creation Skill and Innate Skill in terms of cultivation methods.

Innate Skill primarily involves drawing Qi into the body through Breathing Technique, where it circulates through the meridians in micro-cycles before settling in the Dantian.

Whereas the Creation Skill, is more akin to an instinctive breathing method. Now that Wang Ye’s lungs had been replaced as part of his evolution, they had completely disappeared, so the physiological mechanism of breathing in oxygen for metabolism had also vanished, replaced by internal fermentation metabolism for energy supply.

Thus, his cultivation method also shifted from being breathing-based to being predominately about internal nurturing.

Pores absorbing Primordial Qi was just an external manifestation; his main method of cultivation was actually nurturing the ecological environment inside his body, which Wang Ye jokingly called his Little Cosmos, because the Primordial Qi he originally stored in his body had all turned into the stars and clouds in the Little Cosmos.

As the "Little Cosmos" nurtured, it would also spontaneously generate Primordial Qi.

Although not much Primordial Qi is generated per second currently, it remains constant.

And when Wang Ye deliberately cultivated the Creation Skill, the "Little Cosmos" would enter a phase of rapid nurturing, erupting with a profusion of Primordial Qi for him to use. In the long run, it’s definitely more economical than the Breathing Technique method.

Most importantly, the way the "Little Cosmos" nurtures gave Wang Ye an especially wonderful feeling. He had a premonition that as the development level of the "Little Cosmos" increased, it might really achieve the mythical so-called inner universe, that is, "a single flower, a world; a single leaf, a bodhi."
