The method is directly imprinted in your mind; you should be able to grasp some of the basics."
After imparting the method, Zhao Yu said to Peter, who was still savoring the information in his mind, "However, to fully comprehend the profound meaning of this fist technique, there are still some requirements regarding your cultural foundation. Peter, from today onwards, you must diligently study Chinese."
Peter came back to his senses, let out an "Ah," and said, "Understood, Xi Fu."
"Hmm." Zhao Yu saw that he was distracted, knowing he was preoccupied with the method in his mind, and said, "You should take your time to experience it first."
With that, Zhao Yu closed his eyes.
After about half an hour, Peter had sorted through the information in his mind and fully recovered, exclaiming, "Xi Fu, it's amazing! How did you do it?"
Zhao Yu opened his eyes and said calmly, "You'll know later."
"But… I want to know now."
"You!" Zhao Yu's brow furrowed, "If I tell you you'll know later, then you'll know later! Don't ask again!"
"…Oh…"
Peter hesitated, his thirst for knowledge impossible to hide.
Zhao Yu stood up: "Come out with me."
He led Peter out of the Villa to the lakeside lawn: "As your master, I'm telling you, you are not allowed to ask any questions unrelated to the Pure Yang Body Refining Fist, understood? Now, as your master, I will first explain the entire content of this fist technique to you…"
"The so-called Chun Yang, you can think of it as pure Yang and harmony, incredibly pure Yang and harmony…"
"Xi Fu, I know what pure means, but what does Yang and harmony mean?"
Zhao Yu wiped his face, barely resisting the urge to punch him, and patiently said, "It's like the sunlight in spring, understood?"
"Oh, Chun Yang is pure spring sunlight, I understand, Xi Fu!"
Zhao Yu slapped him.
Peter got up aggrieved, not knowing what he had done wrong.
"Forget it. Why am I explaining these things to you?" Zhao Yu sighed repeatedly, lamenting for a while before saying, "This fist technique has a total of nine layers, eighty-one routes, and seven hundred twenty-nine moves. Don't ask what each layer, each route, and each move means; just practice according to it. One layer of nine routes of fist technique, when practiced to perfection without flaws, and one set of acupoints is unblocked, will grant you a hundred jun of divine strength. When all nine layers are perfected, you will have a thousand jun of strength… This 'jun' is a unit of measurement, similar to your pounds and tons. One jun is thirty catties, which is fifteen kilograms. How much is a thousand jun, you calculate?"
"Fifteen thousand kilograms, fifteen tons!" In just a second, the boy got the result, then he exclaimed, "I'll have fifteen tons of strength if I master it?"
"Wow, that's amazing! A small car is only about one ton. If I had fifteen tons of strength…"
Zhao Yu watched speechlessly as the boy instantly immersed himself in his own World, and directly slapped him: "I told you to be quiet, didn't you understand?"
Little Spider rubbed his forehead and immediately dared not speak.
"This is just an average. The same method, when cultivated by different people, will have varying effects. It's related to a person's potential. Someone with deep potential might even have thirty tons of strength after achieving perfection, while someone with shallow potential might only have three to five tons or even less. Of course, the premise is to achieve perfection."
"This fist technique requires daily practice, constant contemplation, not a single bit can be neglected; you must cultivate diligently and practice assiduously. Practicing for three days and resting for two will not do. From now on, you must come to me every day and practice assiduously for at least three hours. Your master will guide you on how to practice. Come, now demonstrate each of the moves in your mind, we will start with the first move today."
Peter's physique, to be honest, was incredibly poor at the moment.
He was among the worst of his peers in the United States. When he performed the fist technique moves, they were crooked and almost completely out of form. He hadn't even finished this one route of nine fist moves before he collapsed from exhaustion.
Fortunately, Zhao Yu had enough patience—this was also a process of Cultivation for him. This set of fist techniques had just been exchanged, and although Zhao Yu had obtained its true profound meaning, he hadn't fully comprehended it yet.
In the process of teaching Peter, Zhao Yu himself gradually became proficient in this set of fist techniques.
To help Peter get started as soon as possible, Zhao Yu reluctantly gave the boy an Essence Qi Pill—he was too thin and weak, his basic condition was too poor, making it difficult to get started.
Peter swallowed the Essence Qi Pill with a mix of belief and doubt, only to feel a surge of warmth instantly spread from his stomach, and boundless energy directly dispelled all his fatigue!
He was no longer surprised.
He had been surprised enough since coming here today, and was already numb.
He just shamelessly said, "Xi Fu, this pill is too effective, can you give me a few more bottles?"
Zhao Yu's response was a slap.
"Do you think this is Liuwei Dihuang Pills? A few bottles? Get up, continue practicing!"
This time, the effect was much better.
Under Zhao Yu's guidance and correction, Peter finally completed one route of the fist technique. He only felt a tingling sensation throughout his body, which almost made him groan.
Zhao Yu slapped him on the back of the head again: "Continue!"
…
"System, why do you force me to establish a sect? Without any foundation, learning is too slow, and I can almost imagine how troublesome it will be in the future!"
"Host, there is no need to complain. The System has its reasons. The Host's ultimate mission is to achieve Daozu. Imparting the Dao and teaching is the Host's duty."
"Imparting the Dao and teaching…" Zhao Yu sighed, "I think the legendary Hongjun Daozu was the smartest. He waited until he became a Saint before imparting the Dao, which is much better than me…"
"Hongjun was destined by Heaven; how can the Host be compared to Hongjun? The Host is not a native-born creature of this Universe. Only by imparting the Dao and gathering Qi Luck can the goal be achieved, not by achieving the goal first and then imparting the Dao. Please carefully consider the sequence, Host."
"..." Zhao Yu was speechless.
After a long while, he said again, "I don't think these Super Heroes of the Western World are suitable for Cultivation and attaining the Dao. What do you think if I go directly to the East now?"
"Hasn't the Host already made a decision?"
Zhao Yu sighed.
"Yes, I've already decided."
He felt very helpless. In fact, he had considered going to the Eastern countries to impart the Dao, as the people there had a much stronger cultural foundation than those here. At least it would be much easier to get started.
But after Zhao Yu fully investigated the situation of the Eastern countries in this World, he gave up.
Marvel truly is the Marvel of Westerners. On Earth in this Universe, the Eastern World is almost negligible. Everything revolves around the Western World.
The Eastern World exists, but it is incomparable to before Zhao Yu's transmigration—there is simply no Huaxia! Even Huaxia's culture is fragmented in this World, with no clear system of inheritance. Even the Chinese language is an extremely rare language!
On the Asian continent, there are no Han-dominated countries at all—they are all mixed countries of Black, White, and Yellow people. Even South Korea and Japan are the same.
This World is the World of Westerners.
After understanding all this, Zhao Yu knew that, whether East or West, the situation was actually the same.
More importantly, because it is a Western-dominated World, Qi Luck clearly favors Westerners. The fact that most Super Heroes are gathered in the United States shows the profound mystery within.
After much thought, it was ultimately most suitable to stay in the United States.
"After all, it's not the original World…" He sighed, "But this is good too, at least it saves me a lot of scruples."
If this World also had Huaxia, and the situation was identical to before his transmigration, then Zhao Yu would inevitably have to consider it due to the cultural commonality during his actions.
This could lead to a situation where he was constrained.
This was not a good thing for Zhao Yu.
The ultimate mission directly points to the most powerful God in Marvel. If there were still various concerns, and a big burden to carry, the difficulty would at least increase by one level.
Zhao Yu was even slightly relieved.
…
Subsequently, for a period of time, besides the three hours of mandatory rest each day, Zhao Yu spent Twelve of the remaining twenty-one hours on Cultivation of Chaos True Body, three hours on comprehending the mysteries of the Qiankun Fulu Lianqi Method, three hours on teaching Peter and simultaneously comprehending the Pure Yang Body Refining Fist, and the last three hours on relaxation.
Combining work and rest, it was quite fulfilling.
During this time, Tony had not appeared once, but Zhao Yu had been keeping an eye on him.
Sometimes he would call Pepper from the media to ask about the situation.
Zhao Yu having Pepper's phone number was not surprising. The complex relationship between Zhao Yu and Tony made Pepper difficult to understand. But she still left a number—this was a mindset as an assistant.
She felt that Tony personally handled Zhao Yu's affairs, and their connection should be very close. Although it seemed a bit awkward between the two.
Zhao Yu was just observing, wanting to know when Tony would become Iron Man.
Perhaps at that time, he would have to make a move.
Perhaps, then the main mission of the second stage would be released.
Compared to letting things take their course and waiting for Tony to become Iron Man, Zhao Yu had different ideas for Peter. Zhao Yu arranged for Tony to follow the path of Talismans, considering Tony's achievements in Iron armor.
If Tony achieved success in the path of Talismans, then what would his Iron armor become? Engraving various Talismans on the armor—solid, defensive, offensive, Earth, Wind, Water, Fire, all-encompassing—what would Iron Man be like then?
As for Peter, Zhao Yu felt that whether he became Little Spider was not a strict requirement.
Perhaps becoming Little Spider was even a bad thing—being infected by a spider's genes, from the perspective of Immortal Dao, means changing one's bloodline. This would cause one's physical body to lose its purity, which might hinder future development.
He also wanted to see what the difference would be between Peter gaining strength through Cultivation and Peter infected by a spider, and whether there would be a change in Qi Luck.
Or, whether Peter becoming Spider-Man was inevitable.
There was a sense of testing in it.
Of course, if Peter eventually still became Spider-Man, it would also serve as a reminder to Zhao Yu. It would make him even more vigilant!
