I've already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and you're saying I didn't time travel?

Chapter 28 Magic Frenzy!

Peak Climbing Live Stream Room.

The female livestreamer is enthusiastically introducing her brand of windbreakers.

Suddenly, a large group of viewers flooded into the live stream.

Before the young woman could even greet everyone with joy, the questions from netizens instantly left her speechless:

"Hey streamer! How much stuff can you hide in that windbreaker?"

"Can a 1.5-meter-long branch be hidden inside?"

"Not just branches and trunks, but also many leaves and bark."

"The most important thing is that it can't be detected from the outside."

……

Looking at that series of very abstract requirements, the young woman finally came to her senses and stammered:

"Dear customers, what we sell here are windproof jackets, clothing, not packaging bags, so they really can't hold a 1.5-meter-long branch."

The audience became excited upon hearing this:

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible. Qi Shen is clearly wearing your company's windbreaker. There's no way he could hide it, but the clothes you sell can't."

"There must be a hidden one, why don't you hurry up and bring it out? I'll pay you, okay?"

"Could it be that Qi Shen's jacket was custom-made? How much does it cost? Name your price. As long as it can hide a bunch of branches and no one can tell, I'm willing to pay any price."

"I don't care about anything else, I've already placed the order. If I can't fit the branches and stuff in, I'll definitely file a huge complaint!"

……

The livestreaming girl is going crazy.

Actually, it's not just her; several livestreamers from brands like pants and shoes are also going crazy.

Are these netizens out of their minds?

What kind of shoes can hide a 1.5-meter-tall tree branch?
Are those shoes worn by a Cyclops?
But we only serve humans, you bastards!
Finally, the companies had no choice but to issue clarification statements on their official Weibo accounts.

The watch seller lamented helplessly:
[Please be rational, everyone. Our watches really can't hide everything in front of us with one press and release it with another. If any watch manufacturer can do that, I'll definitely buy one. If you find one, please remember to let us know.]

Upon seeing these statements, netizens who were watching burst into laughter:

"Are there really people who think Saitama's magic tricks are related to his props?"

"If it's not a prop, then what is it? A superpower?"

"In my opinion, the clothes are possible, but the watch is too far-fetched."

"It's impossible for his clothes to hide a branch that's 1.5 meters long. Even if they could, how could you take it out without giving anything away in front of everyone?"

"That's Qi Shen's skill! If it were so easy to expose, could it still be called magic?"

"Magic is just a prop or an illusion. Many magic tricks are actually quite simple in principle after they are exposed. The reason we are fooled is because we did not understand Qi Shen's core trick. Maybe the magic trick is actually very simple after it is exposed."

"The problem is, who can reveal the principles behind it? I'm not even talking about replicating it; those who can reveal it are the top magicians in the country." "@MagicianXiaoWang, @FeifeiWhoCan'tDoMagic, @StreetMagicianAchao, @LiuChangTheGreatDemonKing..."

"Damn, these magicians with millions or even tens of millions of fans are usually so arrogant, but now that they're needed to show up, where have they all gone?"

Even if you can't replicate it, you should at least come out and explain the principles and techniques behind it to everyone.

"Is it possible that they haven't even figured out the principles behind it?"

"It can't be that bad. These are all top magicians in the country. They've been immersed in the magic circle for many years. Not only are they very experienced, but their eyesight and techniques are also first-rate. There's no reason why they wouldn't be able to see through Qi Xuan's magic trick."

"I just received news from inside the industry that all the major magicians seem to be studying Qi Shen's pre-recorded videos and analyzing his magic techniques."

"Hilarious! I just heard from a friend that magician Xiao Wang was so engrossed in studying Qi Shen's magic tricks that he missed his flight."

"Ugh, when will they finally figure this out? I'm so anxious!"

……

About an hour later, Liu Chang, a top magician in China who has won multiple magic awards and successfully held more than ten large-scale magic performances, publicly published a long article:
"When Qi Shen was live streaming, I happened to be having a gathering with a few magician friends. As soon as the live stream ended, we immediately found a high-definition recording and analyzed his techniques, principles, and props from various angles, trying to replicate them."

Unfortunately, several hours have passed, and we still can't figure out the principle behind the magic trick, let alone replicate it.

Outsiders might think that Qi Shen's magic trick looks no different from our tricks of turning doves or roses into real ones, but in reality, the differences are huge.

Any creation that appears out of thin air is basically achieved through props or visual illusions, including the magician's gestures, expressions, and language, which are often designed to distract you.

But what did you all do when you watched Qi Shen perform magic tricks? Was there any specific verbal guidance? No. Were there any specific magic movements? No. Was there any specific perspective used to present the tricks? Absolutely not!

He even demonstrated the magic trick process from multiple angles and up close, dozens of times, my friends. He was also building a shack while performing the magic trick, and in his eyes, building the shack was even more important.

In the end, he didn't even bother to put on a show anymore. He just casually produced the material he needed. Is that something a human can do?

Normally, when magicians want to conjure up something, they have to go through a series of preparations and a long period of training in order to ensure that they do not make mistakes during the performance. But what is Qi Shen's doing?
The rainstorm came suddenly, the materials were picked up on the spot, and the shack was built temporarily. I won't even go into the details of his techniques. Anyone could become a top magician in the country if they could conjure a tree branch without any preparation.

I've always been arrogant and never admired other magicians. I believed that what others could do, I could do too.

But this time, I'm truly convinced.

If Qi Shen can descend from the floating continent, I will call him the number one magician in the country!

As one of the top magicians in China and a popular internet celebrity with over ten million followers, Liu Chang's long article, published at a time when countless people were exploring Qi Xuan's magic, instantly went viral and became a trending topic.

After reading the entire article, not only magic enthusiasts in China, but even ordinary people who don't usually pay much attention to magic were all shocked.

"I knew Qi Shen was awesome, but I never imagined he was this awesome!"

"Yeah, even the trash-talking king of the magic world admitted defeat on the spot, that's really rare."

"I still remember the last time he berated a senior figure in the magic circle, scolding him for being unambitious, arrogant, and having an overbearing temper. I never expected to see him being so respectful."

"I regret not watching Qi Shen's performance more closely. I will go and review the recording carefully."

"Go together."
