I am the king of fighting!

Chapter 227 Mutation
Deep inside the hidden place of consciousness, in the darkness.

【I am bored】

Lin Xi lay straight with his head tilted back, letting his consciousness float freely. There was no other way. After closing everything, his entire consciousness was completely disconnected from his body. Under the influence of mental hypnosis, even his subconscious mind and body instincts had been shut down. Unless he was hurt or actively released, he had severed all contact with the outside world and could not even sense time.

It could be one second, or ten thousand years. In the depths of his consciousness where he had lost the concept of time, he was just in a trance. Suddenly, he saw a bright light in front of his eyes. He squinted his eyes subconsciously, and then he realized that he had returned to reality.

The dust, impurities, and water vapor floating in the air seem to echo in my ears, as if the sound of conversation, the sound of knife and fork touching the plate, the sound of water, the sound of flies flapping their wings, and the sound of buttocks constantly hitting each other...

"Ah~"

Lin Xi showed a look of disgust, and his hearing quickly formed a scene in his mind through the echoes and collisions of the sounds. In a room about ten meters away from him, two soldiers were messing around with some incomprehensible things.

Mercenary organizations, like the military, may resort to unconventional means.

"Why did you come back suddenly..."

He looked down at his arms, and saw pores that were taking in and out air. Tiny electric currents were jumping between the hairs. He seemed to have grasped something vaguely, and his mind moved.

"Bang~" The drawer of the bedside table was inexplicably pulled out and fell to the ground.

Lin Xi used his thumb to resist the inexplicable force, and slightly raised his four fingers. The drawer that had fallen to the ground floated up steadily without any warning. Under his horrible eyesight, he saw the faint electric sparks in the air.

The power of electric current?
No, it's magnetism, electromagnetism. The electric current in the body skips over the preconditions and materials and directly creates an arc-shaped unstable magnetic field out of thin air.

After becoming confused, the secondary brain quickly retrieved relevant information. After he understood the knowledge, an arc of electricity flashed in his pupils, and densely packed pure black lines appeared in his field of vision. Before he could see clearly, his eyes blurred and everything returned to its original state.

“Plop, plop”

"Hu~" Lin Xi gasped for breath, his skin turned red, sweat covered his back, and his heart beat violently, as if he had exhausted all of a sudden. He fell down on his bed, and it took him a long time to recover. He finally figured out some of the changes in his body.

His body did not undergo the changes as imagined, or in other words, it did not become stronger. Even the effect of the exercise did not increase much. Instead, the chaotic forces in his body were twisted together.

Qi, electricity, murderous waves, the will of the snake, and the mental power that should have been extracted from the body were all twisted together under the integration of the new nervous system.

The strange thing is that the core is not his increasingly powerful mental strength, nor the vast and inexhaustible energy, but the electric current that he has never cared much about.

The electric current, which was originally just a byproduct of the stomata, turned the tables and forcefully occupied the air produced by the stomata. The air penetrated all the structures of the body, causing all the cells in his body to begin to rub against each other constantly to produce weak electric currents, thus converging into a huge electric current.

The premise of this is that he has transformed his body so that the nerves dominated by qi can spread to every corner of the body, which is why there is the saying that electric current passes through the nervous system to force the body to rub.

Then, the huge electric current replaced the nourishment of all the cells in his body, and converted nutrients into electric current in a more efficient way, directly replacing the physical strength. Otherwise, how can it be said that the guest has become the host? When electric current becomes the basic essence of the body's movement and survival, the birth of Qi depends entirely on the electric current.

But that's not all. According to the records of the secondary brain, while the electric current controls the body, it has also completely controlled the Qi. However, the transformation of Qi is still the same old way. It requires deliberate stimulation of physical strength and then generation through mental participation. However, problems arise.

Before entering into meditation, Lin Xi had already consumed most of his Qi and withdrawn his mental strength. In order to ensure that there would be no problems with the nervous system, the electric current was directly integrated with the Qi, omitting the tedious conversion process. As long as the cells were constantly active and rubbing, electric current would be generated, and Qi would be generated continuously.

However, the instinct of electric current is very simple, but it completely ignores one crucial thing -

Spiritual participation.

In the composition of Qi, spirit is indispensable. Without the observer effect constantly exerted by the spirit on the body, Qi, which can stimulate the production of hormones and body tissues at will, would have turned the body into a bloated and disgusting monster long ago. Therefore, at its root, Qi cannot exist independently of spirit.

After the electric current merged with the Qi, the same problem occurred. The body that was originally thriving from the fusion immediately fell into a great crisis. After the electric current was exhausted, the nervous system also had problems, and then the whole body faced paralysis.

At this point, Lin Xi's transformation was actually a complete failure. His body was about to be damaged, so he had to come back to clean up the mess. The two things in his qi came into play.

The snake's will and murderous intent fluctuated.

The will of the snake was the first to suffer misfortune. It suffered heavy losses in the battle with Vega in Japan, and the snake could not replenish itself in the seal, so it could only lie dormant. As the incarnation of the will of the earth, its lurking ability was ridiculously strong. Not even Lin Xi, who had completely reshaped his body, could find it. However, after the electric current of the integrated Qi did not bother it and it completely controlled its body, it realized that it was seriously lacking in mental strength, so it swallowed the will of the snake, tore it apart, and converted it into energy to continue and transform its body.

The quality of the Great Snake's will is high, but the quantity is too small and is simply not enough.

The next one to be targeted was the killing wave that had no sense of existence. Faced with the collapse of the body, it half-voluntarily and half-forced awakened, and turned into a consciousness to control the body. Since the killing wave did not have the ability to generate mental power, it was just a force composed of negative emotions. At the level inside this body, the electric current was even superior to it. Even if it controlled the body, it could not do anything to the electric current. Instead, it could only watch the electric current cut it into pieces and decompose the chaotic emotions contained in it to continue to prolong the life of the body.
Out of the instinct for survival, the last ripple of the murderous intent was to pull back Lin Xi's main consciousness and mental power. Well, it was probably equivalent to being wronged and wanting to complain in order to save his life.

However, due to the barrier of mental hypnosis, his consciousness returned a little late, and the situation he faced when he finally woke up was -

The big snake's will and murderous intent were all gone and were completely eaten up.

What greeted Lin Xi was not the joyful reception of the new power, but the almost exhausted electric current that began to frantically demand from him without any limit. In almost the blink of an eye, his mental power was drained. Finally, the electric current that absorbed enough mental power officially began to take over his body.

Qi allowed the electric current to control the body, the will of the snake gave the electric current information about the outside world, and the killing intention wave sent the last gift: a strong influence on the body. The electric current that had the last laugh, to be precise, had become a very different kind of "qi", rooted in Lin Xi's body and spirit, possessing most of the properties of qi, and being able to directly transform the body. The senses that originally needed to be strengthened by using qi were permanently enhanced. After replacing physical strength, the growth had no upper limit, and the storage location was no longer limited to muscle tissue, and could wander around every part of the body at any time...

However, the most perverted thing brought about by the fusion of Qi and electric current is that its basic attribute as electric current has been amplified to a rather terrifying level. Through the knowledge brought by the earth consciousness communicated by the will of the great snake and the influence of the murderous fluctuations on its body, the whole process of electromagnetism is directly completed.

Lin Xi's body is now continuously generating unstable magnetic fields through electric current, using the magnetic field generated by her own body to influence the magnetic field of the outside world.

This is why he can move the drawer through the air with just a flick of his hand. The energy consumption is almost negligible, yet he can accomplish something that he has to use a lot of mental power to accomplish. In addition, many uses of mental power, such as detection and mid-air attacks, can be accomplished through the magnetic field.

But...it's not without cost.

The fused Qi, the great snake's will, and the killing intent all disappeared completely, and the mental power that became the fusion material and engine also suffered the same fate.

Lin Xi's mental power has now been completely occupied, and the upper limit has been squeezed out. He can't release even a little bit of it directly. It can only be converted into more electric current. His consciousness flows in the electric current, controlling his body.

What's more troublesome is that the nature of the gas produced by lighting up the pores has become what it is now. Its external emission capacity is several times weaker than before. The Qigong waves, which were already extremely depleted, now have only one tenth of the power they emit. They are completely out of his reach.

It is a bit abstract for a fighter who was originally capable of displaying fancy skills to suddenly become a simple master of boxing and kicking.

"My big boobs..."

Lin Xi felt like crying but had no tears. Although he knew before that the mutation would most likely fail, he didn't expect it to succeed at once. It was a huge hodgepodge. The electric current activated the fusion card on the spot and ate up all the messy things in the body.

Even so, the electric current has not yet fully developed and is still in a state of malnutrition. The various abilities solidified into the body consume a lot of energy, and the transformation of the body has not yet begun, not to mention the subsequent development of electromagnetism. The gap in electric current is quite large. The physical strength to synthesize electric current is simple. Just eat and drink more. If all else fails, just give yourself nutrient solution to make up for what you lack.

The problem is that there is a serious lack of mental strength.

In the past, he always thought that he had a lot of mental power. The recovery speed brought by his powerful soul was abnormal. Vega had given him warmth many times, so he could not use it all up. In addition, there were many difficulties in spiritual practice, so he never considered how to speed up his spiritual practice.

Who the hell knew that his poor spiritual practice would affect him in such a strange place.

Now comes the embarrassing thing. He lacks mental energy, and the electric current cannot complete the transformation of his body. He never has any mental energy to use, which means that his upper limit has been directly consumed. His mental energy is totally insufficient to sustain his own strength. Now, let alone mental hypnosis, he can't even communicate with others using mental energy.

In this state, he was not afraid of mental attacks at all and would eat as many as they came.

In general, Lin Xi's combat effectiveness has not declined much, his physical fitness has not changed, his air holes and secret techniques are still usable, but in terms of fighting skills, some things are completely useless.

Like the penetration of qi, his qi now carries super high voltage electricity, which has already paralyzed the opponent before it penetrates. Is this also called penetration?
Techniques developed based on the assassination fist, such as the Chaos Finger, can no longer be used normally. The penetration process is 100% likely to be discovered. If one can forcibly penetrate the opponent's qi, the opponent would have been electrocuted into charcoal, and there would be no point in controlling him.

Oh no, the chicken is carbonized too.

Instead, it has an extremely high-strength attribute attached to it, and any energy released can generate intense electric current. The only problem is that the external power loss is extremely severe.

In addition, forced control over one's own body can no longer be called a killer move. After all, the electric current that has been fused with mental power can control the body with just a movement of consciousness.

The advantage is that if you want to force him to become stiff, unless you can completely destroy all the "qi" in his body, that is, you have a permanent dominance effect, control skills are completely useless against him, and you must use damage skills to knock him down head-on.

The uselessness of Qi bullets and Qigong waves also had a considerable impact on his fighting style. In his previous fights, he often used Qi bullets and Qigong waves to interfere with his opponents, or to give himself more room to operate, using the reaction force of Qi bullets and Qigong waves on the air to achieve attacks from more angles, while also being able to consume enemies remotely.

Now that the long-range consumption has been cut all of a sudden, the long-range attack based on the magnetic field has not been developed at all. If you encounter an opponent who likes long-range attacks, it will be somewhat difficult to cope with.

The first super-killing Xingtian Dance he developed also contained many techniques of using the penetration of Qi to interfere with the opponent's actions, but it was also half-useless.

If you think about it, aside from an early, technically unskillful shard developed in Street Fighter tournaments, his entire fighting system is in dire need of a rework.

Of course, these are all later stories. The most important thing now is to find a way to make up for the missing mental strength.

Lin Xi covered his growling belly and went to eat a big meal with a heart full of worries. He rarely maintained his usual afternoon practice, but sat in the room to think hard.

Among the two spiritual practice inheritances he had, the Soul Burial Technique was a weird way of devouring other people's souls to increase one's mental strength super quickly. However, that thing had serious side effects, and if one was not careful one would mess up one's own soul.

The spiritual secrets of the Shiranui clan are even more...

"Wait? I seem to have something that can actually gain a lot of mental power."

Lin Xi slapped his head. How could he have forgotten that he still had a big gift package that he hadn't opened yet? The consciousness that he had kept in his mind and split out, which could control the fluctuations of murderous intent, after getting rid of it, wouldn't he be able to obtain a large amount of mental power replenishment at one time?
