This… my dear mother!
It actually works?
He wasn’t kidding me?
At this moment, spiritual energy surged wildly around Li Kai, his skin turned crimson, muscles bulged violently, veins throbbed!
Jiang Nan: (ૢ✧⌂✧)ง
“Grandpa, awesome! Your legs must have been kicked off back then when you opened the eighth gate, your body couldn’t handle it, right?”
Li Kai froze: “Huh?… Ah, yes!”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
“That year I nearly kicked Dao Tian to death with this move! Both my legs got vaporised! I was super brave!”
“Now you know how powerful your grandpa’s ultimate skill is!”
Jiang Nan nodded frantically. Grandpa is still grandpa after all!
All those anime episodes weren’t watched in vain!
During the Spiritual Catastrophe years, these old pioneers must have been driven completely mad trying to get stronger!
When you’re desperate enough, you really will research and practise anything!
“Grandpa! Teach me some other ultimate skills! I’m really interested in your Super Saiyan transformation!”
“I’ve got tons of popping candy!”
If he could actually transform, he’d be invincible in minutes!
Who knows whether he’d go yellow Saiyan or blue Saiyan!
Grandpa Li Kai’s face stiffened, his eyes shifted: “Ahem! Young man, you must understand that biting off more than you can chew never works!”
“First master the Eight Gates up to the seventh gate! Then come find Grandpa again, and Grandpa will teach you more!”
With that, he stuffed the notebook into Jiang Nan’s arms!
Jiang Nan grinned: “Alright! Thank you, Grandpa!”
Li Kai looked kindly: “The human body is a treasure waiting to be unlocked! It holds limitless potential! Go practise!”
Jiang Nan felt a little excited and ran to a nearby bench, opened the notebook, and studied it carefully!
Grandpa Li Kai shrank his neck!
The aura around him instantly vanished, he wheeled away in his little wheelchair and disappeared in a flash!
“Got the goods! Gotta bounce!”
“Today’s youngsters are so easy to fool, haha!”
Eight Gates my foot!
It was just using spiritual energy to stimulate acupuncture points for a short burst of power!
He really had researched it back then!
During the Spiritual Catastrophe, the pioneers who were desperate to grow stronger tried every method under the sun!
For the Eight Gates, Grandpa Li Kai had actually studied countless ancient texts, TCM meridian and acupoint materials!
He had even consulted many ancient martial arts masters!
All the information was written in the notebook!
He never managed to develop the real Eight Gates! But he did figure out a way to stimulate acupoints!
The only problem was it was useless in actual combat!
He pulled out a pack of popping candy, threw his head back, and ate it!
His face turned red from the popping. He pushed his little wheelchair straight to Ning Youyou.
Ning Youyou tilted her head: “Grandpa? Do you need something?”
“Young lady! Grandpa can tell at a glance that your bones are extraordinary! You’re perfect material for learning my ultimate skill!”
“Interested in the Eighteen Ultimate Styles?”
Ning Youyou’s eyes sparkled: “Yes, yes, yes!”
…
On the bench, Jiang Nan read through the notes, his face full of excitement!
“Ohhh! Ohhh yes! Makes sense, makes total sense!”
“Using spiritual energy to stimulate acupoints? So that’s how it works?”
“Haha! Ten packs of popping candy for such an amazing ultimate skill, I’ve made a fortune!”
The notebook contained a detailed theory, complete with human meridians, acupoints, and so on!
It looked extremely convincing!
Jiang Nan flipped through it all and memorised the theory!
Then he couldn’t wait to try it!
After half a day of effort, he finally located the “Kaiyang acupoint” in his body!
He tried stimulating it with spiritual energy!
BOOM!
With a loud explosion, Jiang Nan’s clothes billowed!
His physical functions began to improve across the board!
[Skill triggered! Eight Gates Released Formation: LV0!]
[Add skill points?]
Jiang Nan’s eyes lit up!
So ultimate skills could also be learned through the system’s skill panel!
Brilliant!
He had over 600,000 skill points! No need to hesitate, upgrade!
[Added skill points: 111,100!]
[Skill upgraded! Eight Gates Released Formation (Master): LV0!]
Four levels in a row!
Countless techniques, knowledge, and methods instantly flooded Jiang Nan’s mind!
Jiang Nan was stunned for a moment!
Huh? This isn’t the same as what Grandpa Li Kai wrote in the notebook?
So complicated!
Opening the later gates required stimulating over a hundred acupoints in a specific order!
And the effects were different from what he remembered!
It comprehensively boosted physical functions!
Strength, speed, reaction, stamina, five senses, spiritual energy output power, everything received terrifying enhancement!
The more gates opened, the more insane the boost!
Of course, the cost was equally shocking!
This method was basically overdrawing the body’s functions by stimulating acupoints, extremely damaging!
After use, one would be weakened for a very long time!
But Jiang Nan wasn’t afraid!
Were his little ginseng dolls free?
One bite of vitality ginseng dipped in sauce!
Open the Eight Gates while recovering!
Jiang Nan’s face was full of excitement!
Even after upgrading Eight Gates to master level, he only gained the method to open the first seven gates!
It seemed the eighth Death Gate required grandmaster MAX level!
But Jiang Nan didn’t have a million skill points right now! He’d have to wait!
Still, this was more than enough! Why would he ever open the Death Gate when he had nothing better to do?
What if he killed himself?
Right now Jiang Nan was so excited his mouth went dry!
He had finally found his own treasure grandpa!
I want to learn Heavenly Horse Meteor Fist!
I want to transform into a Super Saiyan!
…
At this moment, Grandpa Li Kai was leisurely sitting in his wheelchair!
Ning Youyou stood behind him, earnestly massaging his shoulders!
“Grandpa Kai! Is the pressure okay? Good?”
“Mm! Not bad, young lady! Keep going, keep going!”
Ning Youyou looked innocent: “So when will Grandpa Kai teach me the Eighteen Styles?”
Li Kai chuckled: “Wait until I…”
“Teacher Kai, I’m here to learn a new ultimate skill!”
Jiang Nan suddenly appeared in front of the wheelchair, startling Li Kai so much he nearly flipped out of it!
He quickly composed himself: “Ahem! Young man! Didn’t I already tell you? Don’t bite off more than you can chew!”
“Master the Eight Gates first! Then I’ll…”
Jiang Nan: “I already mastered it!”
Li Kai: ???
Mastered it? My arse!
Even I can’t do it!
“Young man! Lying isn’t a good habit!”
“I really did!”
Li Kai rolled his eyes: “Pull the other one! I…”
Jiang Nan let out a mighty roar: “Eight Gates Released Formation! Open, Heal, Life, Hurt, Limit, View…”
“Seventh Gate of Wonder! Open!”
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Seven consecutive explosions!
Jiang Nan’s aura soared again and again! The ferocious spiritual pressure distorted Li Kai’s face!
It even warped the air! His full head of black hair flew wildly!
Skin turned crimson! Veins bulged on every muscle, his physical abilities raised to a monstrous level!
Li Kai: Σ(ŎдŎ|||)ﾉﾉ
Ning Youyou: Σ(๑ºΔº๑)
Are you kidding me?
How the hell did you learn it!
I know better than anyone what’s written in that notebook!
The guy who wrote the manual can’t do it, but you can after reading it?
Less than fifteen minutes?
And you opened straight to the seventh gate? Li Kai could tell at a glance that Jiang Nan was the real deal!
Li Kai swallowed hard: “N… no, how did you manage to learn it?”
Did you cheat, or did some old immortal teach you in a dream?
Jiang Nan turned off the Eight Gates, his little face slightly pale!
Confused, he asked: “Why wouldn’t I be able to learn it? Was I not supposed to?”
Li Kai panicked, his old face went white!
He hurriedly laughed: “No, no, no! Of course not!”
“Grandpa could tell at a glance that your bones are extraordinary, that’s why I gave you the ultimate skill! I knew it would suit you!”
“Learning it this fast is normal! Yes! Totally expected!”
In reality he was panicking like mad!
He was scared half to death!
Is this kid a bug or something?
How on earth did he master it!
If he weren’t too proud to ask, he’d want to know exactly how Jiang Nan did it!
