Chapter 1000: Chapter 1000: A Genius, Yet Not One
On the way back, Lin Yi released Ao Shu to accompany Xiyue for a chat.
Lin Yi was quite thoughtful in this regard. Ever since witnessing Wo Zhiqi control his own body to fight against Corpse King Ying Gou, Lin Yi felt a longing.
To redirect a part of the enemy’s attack for one’s own use, and then strike back after re-guidance, such a technique is truly top-notch.
Recalling the battles he faced along the way, if he could also do this when encountering strong enemies, he wouldn’t have been driven to the brink of death multiple times.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi’s desire to master the technique of "transformation" reached its peak.
In his Inner Court, Lin Yi repeatedly simulated all this, so much so that he didn’t speak with Xiyue or Ao Shu along the way.
"Kid, no need to rush. Mastering this skill isn’t something that can be achieved overnight. Back in the day, it took me thousands of years of battle to comprehend even a bit of this skill."
"Demonstrating it to you is to give you more insight into battle techniques. There’s no point in just watching, it would be too boring."
In the Inner Court, Wo Zhiqi and Sun Wukong were both watching Lin Yi.
At this moment, he was recreating Wo Zhiqi’s previous battle from memory.
He would even simulate a surge of Wo Zhiqi’s power entering himself, trying to control his own power to suppress and reshape the powers that weren’t his to utilize them for himself.
But even though he was familiar with Wo Zhiqi’s power, this power ultimately didn’t belong to him, and in terms of Divine Power Level, he was much stronger.
Controlling it was extremely difficult.
After several attempts, Lin Yi didn’t make much progress.
The simulated divine power of Wo Zhiqi would always explode inside Lin Yi after colliding with his own divine power.
This not only failed to expand his advantage but also caused severe damage to Lin Yi’s internal organs.
Seeing Lin Yi fail over a dozen times, Wo Zhiqi spoke up to comfort him, suggesting he approach the situation from his strengths.
In terms of talent, Lin Yi wasn’t lacking either.
Having experienced Lin Yi’s abilities and using his numerous skills, Wo Zhiqi had a significant change of perspective on this battle approach.
This change was undoubtedly due to Lin Yi’s multitude of skills.
Previously, Wo Zhiqi thought this kind of battle technique was the most basic.
Recklessly using one’s skills involved great expenditure.
Wo Zhiqi believed skills should be used in conjunction with battle techniques.
Releasing skills at the right moment to maximize impact on the enemy was the correct approach.
Otherwise, it was useless consumption.
But Lin Yi was different.
His Mana Value recovery rate was almost comparable to unlimited mana.
Moreover, Lin Yi’s [Chaos at the Beginning] passive allowed for Multi-Casting with skills using Source Power, meaning skills using Mana as a base could be repeated. Such an extraordinary skill was perfect for this combat style.
"You have your own advantages. You should develop your own combat style based on these. As for transformation, take your time learning it, there’s no rush..."
In the Inner Court, Wo Zhiqi and Great Saint were both attentively watching Lin Yi practice techniques, witnessing him fail over and over.
Wo Zhiqi planned to comfort Lin Yi, encouraging him to not lose heart and take it slow, but in the next moment, Lin Yi successfully suppressed Wo Zhiqi’s simulated power.
Even though this power was recreated from Lin Yi’s imagination and somewhat differed from Wo Zhiqi’s real strength, reaching this point was impressive.
This scene left Wo Zhiqi and Great Saint speechless.
"Master, would you try attacking me once?"
Lin Yi smiled, turning his gaze toward Wo Zhiqi.
History always repeats itself remarkably.
When Wo Zhiqi attacked Lin Yi’s body in the Inner Court, it caused significant damage to Lin Yi there.
Lin Yi became serious immediately, trying to suppress the power inside and guide it in the desired direction.
As Wo Zhiqi expected, at first, Lin Yi was unable to use the transformation technique to guide Wo Zhiqi’s power out.
But as he practiced more, Lin Yi became increasingly proficient, until he could completely channel out the divine power and Taichu left by Wo Zhiqi’s attack.
"This kid is a genius!"
Wo Zhiqi couldn’t help but exclaim.
How many years had Wo Zhiqi spent countless real battle experiences to master the special fighting skill of "transformation"?
But Lin Yi, after seeing it once and practicing for a short time, had already touched the essence of this battle skill. Given more time, perhaps just a few years, wouldn’t he achieve a mastery comparable to Wo Zhiqi’s?
"What you’re saying is both right and wrong!"
Wo Zhiqi’s eyes were full of disbelief.
The shock he felt was no less than that of Lin Yi.
The genius Great Saint referred to was Lin Yi’s speed in mastering the battle technique of "transformation," achieving in under an hour what took others thousands of years — that indeed is genius.
But he’s different from Wo Zhiqi.
Wo Zhiqi mastered the skill through continuous real battles.
Normally, foreign divine power entering one’s body would hinder one’s power operation, and using one’s divine power to counteract it was the usual approach.
Attempting to turn this energy to one’s advantage requires much fortuitousness and confidence.
To test this idea, Wo Zhiqi gradually increased the foreign enemy’s divine power entering his body.
If careless, the outcome would be like Lin Yi’s simulations in the Inner Court — a burst.
It’s hard to imagine how cautiously Wo Zhiqi proceeded.
Compared to Wo Zhiqi’s challenges, having an Inner Court made Lin Yi’s path infinitely simpler.
Everything that happens in the Inner Court is separate from reality.
Of course, Martial Soul possession is an exception.
In the meantime, as neither Wo Zhiqi nor Great Saint would harm Lin Yi, he could safely conduct these dangerous simulations, learning from each failure until mastering the technique.
Calling Lin Yi a genius is apt because he not only excels in skills and passive abilities but also possesses the Inner Court’s unparalleled training potential.
Holding all these, it’s hard not to be a genius.
However, saying Lin Yi isn’t a genius is also correct.
In his simulation, he was entirely learning from Wo Zhiqi’s experiences.
