Chapter 2: Divide

After three months of studying, Chen Xi almost understood the strangeness of this world, and also the magical use of mental energy, not just about how strong the it is. Chen Xi has learn from history that powerful mental energy can have better defense against accidents and resonate with the world, but doesn't have much lethality.

If you want to use thunder to strike the opponent, don't think about it, it is not possible. Although the combat strength is average, it is undeniable that mental energy strengthens thinking. It can be said that the stronger the mental energy, the faster the thinking speed and the better your comprehension is. The things that could only be understood in an hour can be understood in ten minutes. Now the gap between the people who cultivate mental energy and those who don't is huge.

If the existence of qi greatly increases the combat effectiveness of warrior, then the existence of mental energy can be said to greatly increase the thinking of a wise men. It is difficult to distinguish which is better between wisdom and power, but these two different development directions determines the path that one will take in the future.

Of course, it is undeniable that some people want cultivate qi and mental energy at the same time, and strengthen their own physical body and thinking process. However, generally people who do this have only one dead end. It is undeniable that their exist people who have cultivated both and achieved something. But if you want to reach the summit, it can be said that it is beyond difficult. At least as far as Chen Xi know from history, that no such person exist.

After understanding this, Chen Xi decisively gave up on qi training. Chen Xi, the one who died, cultivated qi, but it was rarely done. But due to the control of family teaching, the qi training was still good.

Now that Chen Xi has degraded in qi, what use is the little amount of qi left? That is to say, if he work hard and fight a few times on the battlefield, it is still possible to be a centurion. As for further ranks, it is estimated to unlikely happen.

As for the level of strength like Xiang Yu, don't even think about it, it is definitely not the height of human beings. It is estimated that according to the the romance version of the Three Kingdoms, the twenty-four generals can possibly reached that height. As for Lu Bu, Chen Xi felt very emotional thinking about it, since that is a humanoid warhead.

Since Chen Xi use to be a part-time cultivator in the past, he has also cultivate a little bit of mental energy, but the mental energy is very weak and minuscule. It is estimated to be hard to defend against the bow and arrow from children who have not even cultivated.

Fortunately, the fusion of the two souls may have stimulated Chen Xi's brain, causing his mental energy to continue to increase drastically in the past three months. This is also a bit of Chen Xi's strangeness. After all, according to his current mental energy, relying on those secret arts and techniques he can already summoned fog and rain, and protect against bows and arrows. According to history, it can be regarded as entering the level of wise man.

According to Chen Xi's own statement, he is now at the level of a mad scientist with a wide range of thinking. His thinking ability has increased substantially, and learning ability has also continued to rise. Chen Xi feel that he have evolved.

"Thud!" Leaving the books on the desk, Chen Xi finally finished reading all the the books in his home. The important ones have been memorized. A general impression has been left on the unimportant ones. The growth of mental energy has also slowed down. Now he can be said to be an authentic Eastern Han.

"Young Master, don't you continue to cultivate mental energy?" Chen Lan asked Chen Xi, who looked bored under the tree.

"Cultivation is beyond practicing." Chen Xi smiled bitterly. He has also learned recently that there is no teaching material to imitate after his mental energy reaches his level. The rest is his own perception, maybe a moment of comprehension, or maybe a lifetime. That's all that is left to cultivate, but even the comprehension may only make the mental energy more pure, let the person less susceptible to distractions, and easier to use.

"Cultivation is beyond practicing?" Chen Lan asked puzzled, she didn't understand what he meant.

"It's getting windy and about to rain, let's go back." Chen Xi didn't explain, but shifted the topic. It was raining again, he had fully mastered the so-called secret arts, plus the understanding of rain from later generations made it easier than what the book said. The scope is larger and the consumption is smaller.

"Is it windy?" Chen Lan looked up and looked at the sun. Without explanation, the sky was overcast.

Chen Xi smiled and pulled his only maid back into the house. This morning's masterpiece was this rain, covering dozens of miles, and the time when the cloud fill the sky will be very long. It is estimated that no one will guess this is a man-made arts. After all, Chen Xi only plays a role as an introduction.

"What a heavy rain!" Chen Lan said in surprise.

"Yeah, it's a heavy rain." Chen Xi even sighed. He has mastered the techniques recorded in the book. As for the formation method, he has not yet understood the principle, and there is the so-called secret formations. He is nothing compared to that.

Chen Xi is quite greedy for the secret formations. After all, in this world Zhang Jiao turned hundreds of thousands of unorganized and undisciplined yellow turbans into invincible yellow turbans by relying on the yellow turbans secret formation. Zhang Jiao died, otherwise, who loses and who wins is unknown.

According to what Chen Xi learned, Zhang Jiao has a secret formation that can greatly stimulate a person's combat power and buff thousands of people at the same time. And with the thousands of yellow turbans who are not afraid of death, it is enough to fight the so called Han Dynasty elite like playing against a dog. It is enough to see the horror of this trick. If it is used as a hole card, it will definitely be the best tool for turning the situation around when necessary.

As for the formation that Chen Xi knows, he doesn't really understand it. After all, he has never heard of anyone using large formation to fight a stronger army into dogs before, but he has seen it in a book. It has been said that the real formation can powerful enough to reverse the situation in war, but he haven't seen it. Chen Xi can only say that he will wait to make judgement until he meets one.

As for whether he can meet someone who is willing to teach him, Chen Xi dare not guarantee. Many things in this era are only passed on to disciples of the same family, and the outsider can only look at his luck. After all, it is not easy for people to make one, and is not giving it away. But for Chen Xi now, those things are too far away, all he has to do is wait. Wait for something to happen.

The chaos of the yellow towel passed, Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, and then the 18th princes campaigned against Dong Zhuo. There is one thing about the campaigned against Dong Zhuo, which was, was it before or after Cao Cao attempted assassination against Dong Zhuo. There is a big difference between the two.

Although they are both pretentious, the benefit are too big of a difference, and it can be said that it almost determines many things in the future.
