Chapter 160: Ba Liming Shocked! Chen Ye's Martial Path Reaches Divinity
The strength displayed by Yua Mikami at this moment had already reached the standard of early Stage Six!
She was initially a veteran of Stage Five, and after taking the Hope Capsule, she managed to reach Stage Six. It seemed like the improvement wasn't that significant?
But for Yua Mikami, she was extremely satisfied!
The sensation of becoming stronger filled her with immense joy!
Right now, she was fully unleashing her mutated abilities. In less than a minute, she had transformed the entire room into an ice cave, cold air permeating everywhere!
"Miss Yua… please, stop what you're doing. You're going to destroy this place."
From the speakers, a probing voice was heard.
If Yua Mikami did not listen, it would indicate that she had already lost her sanity and had completely turned into a monster.
However, what surprised those present was that Yua Mikami not only stopped but also apologized with a polite tone:
"I'm sorry, I got a bit too excited and lost control of my emotions. I sincerely apologize for turning the place into this state!"
Yua Mikami's attitude was exceptionally good as she bowed towards everyone.
"I will compensate for the damages here."
Everyone was pleasantly surprised at her words.
To be so polite meant that Yua Mikami's human behavior had been entirely preserved. Apart from some changes in appearance, there were no indications of her transforming into a monster.
This also meant that the experiment with the Hope Capsule had indeed succeeded!
No one noticed the subtle, meaningful smile on Yua Mikami's face as she bowed...
Capital City.
Chen Ye and Tang Zichen did not stay long in Qin Muyin's reception room.
Regarding Qin Muyin's invitation, Chen Ye only replied that he needed to consider it and made no other commitments before leaving with Tang Zichen.
The two returned to the lobby on the first floor.
Chen Ye was still pondering how Qin Muyin had learned his secrets.
Could it be the National Secret Realm?
No, that couldn't be!
Isn't it said that people lose their memories in the National Secret Realm?
Just then, President Chen suddenly appeared.
"Brat, what are you thinking about?"
"Huh? Dad! When did you get here?"
"Not long ago."
Tang Zichen, who was beside them, obediently greeted, "Uncle Chen, good evening."
"Good, good, good!"
Upon seeing Tang Zichen, President Chen's stern face immediately softened, breaking into a wide grin.
He couldn't be more satisfied with Tang Zichen, his "daughter-in-law."
"Oh, by the way, your dad is here too. He was looking for you just now!"
"I'll go find my dad then. See you later, Uncle Chen," said Tang Zichen as she left.
Once Tang Zichen was gone, President Chen's old face turned serious again as he asked Chen Ye, "What did Captain Qin want?"
Faced with his father's inquiry, Chen Ye didn't hide anything and replied, "Oh, she mentioned that the Academy of Sciences has made a new discovery. A new space-time wormhole might appear soon, and she wants me to join the Enforcement Team to help her out."
Hearing the mention of a new space-time wormhole, President Chen's face immediately grew more somber.
"Wait… Why would she want your help? Could it be that she knows about your situation?"
Chen Ye nodded and replied, "She pretty much knows everything."
"How could she know? Who else have you talked to about this?"
"I haven't told anyone else. I'm also unsure how she found out..." Chen Ye spread his hands and said, "But she said she would continue to keep my secret."
Although Chen Ye spoke lightly, he was still quite vigilant internally.
Because even he didn't know where his secret had leaked from.
Apart from Tang Zichen and his father, President Chen, no one else knew about his situation.
The fact that Qin Muyin knew about it indicated that there was some oversight on his part.
Chen Ye had already decided that in the future, he would train in the school's solo training room in batches to avoid being monitored and exposing any clues.
"You didn't agree to her request, did you?" President Chen asked again.
"Of course not!" Chen Ye replied with a smile. "My dad is the vice-president of the Abilities Association. Why would I be bored enough to join the Enforcement Team?"
"That's not the reason…" President Chen shook his head and didn't say much.
Chen Ye: "By the way, is Uncle Tang also here? Should I go greet him?"
"There's no need!" President Chen responded in a displeased tone. "Old Tang gets annoyed whenever he sees you. You should wait until you have a better performance before appearing in front of him!"
Chen Ye chuckled but said nothing more.
Soon after, the celebration banquet officially began.
The members of the three teams made an appearance and stood together for a photo session by the reporters.
Then, the representatives of the three teams said some polite words, marking the end of the ceremony.
Next came the free networking session.
Events like these were never just about eating and drinking. The real essence was networking.
It provided an occasion for important figures to meet other potential partners and expand their circle. Otherwise, so many big shots wouldn't bother showing up.
Chen Ye, however, was not yet an important figure.
So he found it quite boring and occupied himself with the food.
Just then, he heard footsteps behind him, making him stop.
The arrivals were President Chen and President Ba Liming.
Seeing Ba Liming, Chen Ye immediately greeted him, "Uncle, good evening.
Ba Liming nodded, looking at Chen Ye with interest.
He had always felt that this kid's vitality was exceptionally strong.
"Chen Ye, your father just told me that you received an important piece of news from Captain Qin, suggesting that a new space-time wormhole might appear?" Ba Liming asked.
"Yes." Chen Ye replied, somewhat puzzled. "What's the matter? Has the Academy of Sciences not informed the association?"
Ba Liming smiled and explained, "Maybe they're still unsure?"
President Chen's expression, however, did not look good.
Chen Ye also noticed that this was not a matter of uncertainty; it was a clear case of favoritism from the higher-ups.
From this incident, it was evident that the authorities favored the Enforcement Team more than the Abilities Association.
Ba Liming didn't seem to mind at the moment. After thinking for a while, he spoke, "If the news is true... Junior Brother, I plan to enter seclusion soon to try and break through, preparing for the potential danger."
"While I'm in seclusion, you stay in the capital and oversee things! Handle the daily matters of the association for me."
Upon hearing this, President Chen's expression turned serious. "Senior Brother, are you confident?"
A martial artist breaking through had certain risks.
Especially as one's realm increased, the risks of attempting a breakthrough became greater.
It wasn't as far-fetched as the possibility of going mad.
However, failing even once could lead to self-doubt and self-denial, causing the loss of courage to press forward. Subsequent attempts to break through would become exponentially more difficult, severely impacting one's future path.
To put it simply, it could result in an inner demon!
"I've been at this stage long enough! The longer I delay, the worse it will be for me."
Ba Liming said calmly, "Fortunately, the recent National Secret Realm granted me many potential points, making this a good opportunity worth trying."
President Chen nodded, acknowledging that his senior brother had a point.
He himself could relate deeply.
He wasn't young anymore. As he aged, he increasingly felt that, relying solely on himself, he might never achieve the Baodan stage in this lifetime.
"Alright, Senior Brother, you can focus on your breakthrough with peace of mind. I'll take care of everything in the association!"
Ba Liming smiled, "If I succeed this time, I'm confident I can help you clear your meridians, allowing you to attempt the Baodan stage!"
Hearing this, President Chen merely smiled.
However, Chen Ye's eyes suddenly brightened!
"Uncle, I have some shallow insights on 'Seeing Divinity.' I'm not sure if I should say them…" Chen Ye carefully chose his words.
He had been thinking about this before but was afraid of influencing Ba Liming, so he hadn't dared to speak up.
Since it now involved his father's future, Chen Ye felt he had to take the risk.
Before Ba Liming could say anything, President Chen scolded angrily:
"Brat, don't talk nonsense! You don't even know what 'Seeing Divinity' is, and you dare to speak recklessly?"
"Junior Brother! Don't say that."
Ba Liming smiled and said, "The true definition of 'Seeing Divinity' is unclear to everyone except that person in Australia... Young people have many ideas, and I'd like to hear them."
"Senior Brother, if this brat affects your judgment, you..."
"How could I be so easily influenced?" Ba Liming waved his hand. "I can tell if the idea is useful or not."
"Chen Ye, go ahead and speak!"
Chen Ye glanced at his father, whose face was dark, then gritted his teeth and spoke up:
"Uncle, regarding the 'Divinity' in 'Seeing Divinity,' I believe it doesn't refer to mythical deities, but rather to one's own body!"
"The human body has numerous acupoints and blood vessels. These acupoints and vessels govern the body's operations, much like gods controlling all things in the universe."
"The so-called 'Breaking the Void, Seeing Divinity Unbroken' is actually the ability to perceive one's true self! To observe the most subtle aspects of one's body."
"Martial artists train for years, and their bodies inevitably suffer damage. If one can glimpse all the secrets of their body and use the method of unifying the internal and external to repair all injuries, rejuvenating the body to a perfect state, they can achieve an unbroken, flawless realm!"
"Uncle, this is my understanding of 'Seeing Divinity Unbroken.' Just a shallow view; I hope you won't mind if it's incorrect."
What he had said wasn't his own shallow view.
It was an explanation of 'Seeing Divinity Unbroken' from a certain novel on Earth.
Additionally, the martial arts grandmaster, Sun Lutang, had a similar understanding of 'Breaking the Void, Seeing Divinity Unbroken' in his writings on martial arts.
When Chen Ye finished speaking, his father, President Chen, was left dumbfounded.
As for Ba Liming, his previously half-closed eyes suddenly widened, bursting with a brilliant and piercing light!!
"Good!"
Ba Liming suddenly exclaimed, "Well said!!"
"So that's it, that's it… The path I've been contemplating was all wrong!"
As he continued, Ba Liming became so excited that he was overwhelmed with emotion, tears streaming down his face.
President Chen was stunned. "Senior Brother, is what this brat said… actually correct?"
"Very close!" Ba Liming sighed. "Junior Brother, you have a good son!!"
At this moment, after hearing Chen Ye's words, Ba Liming felt as if he had been enlightened, his path suddenly clear!
He couldn't wait and said, "Junior Brother, I'll go prepare now. From now on, everything is in your hands."
Leaving these words behind, Ba Liming left without even a farewell.
This left Chen Ye in a daze.
He had just been trying his luck; he didn't expect his words to actually be so useful to Ba Liming?
Goodness!
So, is this world's martial arts really following the logic of that novel?
