"After all, I am just an old monster who wants to enjoy my old age. The survival of non-human species such as monsters and gods is something I have been researching all along."

"I wanted to reach a point where monsters could survive even without the fear and awe of humans, and now I have achieved that."

"Fear and awe are simply emotions that life cares about regarding something. All we need to do is make humans believe in and face the existence of the other side."

"Through the teachings of the God of War, we made them realize this point, and to make them believe, we must fulfill their wishes."

"So why not make non-human species like monsters into beings that humans need to rely on? And maybe that way we can even turn monsters into immortals."

"Because of this, Gensokyo has almost achieved a point where humans and youkai can raise a glass together and work together to innovate this land."

"—We still need to work harder if we want to develop even better."

"Do you need my help?" Yang Xiying couldn't help but ask at this moment, which made Yakumo Yukari's expression turn playful.

"—Oh, is Brother Yang trying to get on my end?"

"...I think it's a good thing for different races to coexist and live in harmony, so that even the weak can live in peace."

Although Yang Xiying did want to gain more favor with Yakumo Yukari, she felt somewhat ashamed to say these things now for some reason.

So let's put it another way first, especially since he himself wants to live in a world where even the weak can receive care.

—After all, that's the kind of person I am.

"For Brother Yang to have such thoughts already makes him no weakling," Yakumo Yukari said with a slight smile.

"And I was quite surprised that the person from another world was such an easy person to talk to. For example, the Heavenly Book was a book that should have been given to you."

"—But now that they're scattered all over the place and even being used by others, you can still remain calm."

"Perhaps it's because these books never really ended up in my hands that I don't feel a sense of reality," Yang Xiying replied casually.

It's a bit presumptuous of someone to think that everything a system possesses belongs to them just because it's attached to them.

"Besides, instead of wasting time worrying about these things, it's better to find a book," and besides, the system has already provided him with methods to find books.

Even the smallest mosquito leg is still meat; as long as you seize the existing opportunities to climb up, that's good enough.

"..." Looking at Yang Xiying's declaration and the fleeting dark blue aura behind her, Yakumo Yukari seemed to be deep in thought.

“If Brother Yang wants to help, then I would certainly welcome it,” Yukari Yakumo said at this moment, but quickly changed the subject.

"But you still need to become stronger. If Brother Yang can really help me after he becomes stronger..."

"—I can give you a special reward, you know." As she spoke, Yukari Yakumo's voice suddenly came from beside Yang Xiying's ear.

She was whispering to Yang Xiying, the gentle warmth and fragrance filling her nostrils, making her feel as if she had been provoked.

"…!" He desperately wanted to immediately pull out a gopher and issue offensive commands like "Dig a burrow!", "Surprise attack!", "Ambush a vital point!", and "Earthquake!" to fight against Yukari Yakumo!

"..." However, Yakumo Yukari had now vanished into thin air, leaving only Yang Xiying's deep breathing in the room.

—This woman is indeed a monster!

That’s it for now, let’s eat first!

Yang Xiying felt an overwhelming motivation to cultivate and become stronger, but it would be better to fill her stomach first.

With that in mind, Yang Xiying retrieved the seven books given to her by Yakumo Yukari and received a reward of 7000 martial arts points.

Combining what I had left and the three martial arts manuals I retrieved from under the statue, I now have over 10,000 martial arts points.

However, with these few points, she could only learn and master one copy of the Righteousness Song Technique. After eating the lunchbox she bought, Yang Xiying injected her martial arts points into it.

His internal strength increased by 12 points to 41, making his body stronger. Then he turned his attention to the meridians that he hadn't had time to look at before.

Clicking on it will bring up a window with an image of a stick figure meditating, surrounded by six diamond patterns depicting stick figures in different poses.

Outside, there are four large diamond-shaped patterns depicting hands and feet. The text on them indicates that these represent the meridians of the human body.

The four large rhombuses represent the twelve meridians of the human body (the three Yin meridians of the hand, the three Yang meridians of the hand, the three Yang meridians of the foot, and the three Yin meridians of the foot).

The six small rhombuses represent the eight extraordinary meridians: the Governing Vessel, the Conception Vessel, the Penetrating Vessel, the Belt Vessel, the Yang Wei Vessel, the Yin Wei Vessel, the Yin Qiao Vessel, and the Yang Qiao Vessel. The latter four are directly categorized as the Yang and Yin meridians.

Finally, there was a meridian point below the stick figure: 590... Upon seeing this, Yang Xiying knew what to do.

After all, this visual style, like the previous martial arts visuals, is something ingrained in our DNA—the meridian system of the martial arts game, Yi Jian Feng Yun Jue.

Practicing internal energy cultivation can earn you meridian points, which can then be used to enhance your basic physical attributes by activating the meridians. For example, activating the Ren meridian can increase your bone strength.

However, here's a "Sword of the Wind and Clouds" technique, while the preceding martial arts are from the "Heroes of the River and Lakes" interface. The system is quite good at stitching things together.

—Although some new things have been added.

With this in mind, Yang Xiying directly opened the Ren Meridian interface. Clicking on it revealed a tree diagram of points and lines, with lines representing meridians and points representing acupoints.

Impacting the meridians means impacting the acupoints. Yang Xiying used up all her martial arts points and then lit up four acupoints. The number of points required to impact the acupoints will gradually increase.

The initial pressure point for each acupoint is 15, and it must be applied three times. Therefore, the first acupoint requires 45 pressure points, the second 30, the third 45, and so on.

However, the more points you spend on impact, the more attributes you gain. Yang Xiying's strength increased by 10 points and her constitution increased by 4 points.

—Some of his attributes are now more appealing than before.

【根骨17/力道21/轻功21/内功41/搏击17/剑法9/枪棍11/短柄16】

To become stronger, he needs to climb higher, but right now he needs to figure out how to earn martial arts points, and there's something he needs to confirm.

The Mind Palace I mentioned before, a facility that makes me stronger, it's time to go check it out. Maybe I can get the Izanagi.

Yang Xiying began to meditate!

PS: First update!

NO.15 Who told me to be a peerless genius!

hum-

After Yang Xiying began to meditate, he felt the air flow slow down, and at the same time, the system sent a notification.

[En route to the Palace of the Mind, 3...2...1, Palace of the Mind has been reached. Please open your eyes.]

——!

After following the system's command, Yang Xiying opened her eyes and found herself in a new area.

Although he was sitting cross-legged, he was not on a bed but on a futon. He was currently sitting in an ancient-style hall.

I stood up and looked around. I found the place to be quite solemn and dignified, giving me the feeling that only a sect leader would stay here.

It was rather empty here, without even a statue of a god. There was clearly a platform, and the character "武" (martial) was written on the wall.

After looking around for a while, Yang Xiying walked towards the main entrance and came out to find an extremely spacious marble area.

It was perfect for training, but it still looked empty. However, this did not stop Yang Xiying from wanting to move around.

Now is the perfect time to demonstrate the skills I learned before. First up is my lightness skill. With a push of her feet, Yang Xiying felt her body become much lighter.

Each step is two or three meters, and they can run fifty meters in almost a second. Then they jump, each leap reaching a height of three or four meters.

This might even allow for front flips, back flips, and several and a half somersaults in the air, increasing the power of flying kicks.

However, the floor was too hard, so Yang Xiying started with a side handspring, but after finishing the first one, he couldn't help but do a back handspring.

This was something he could hardly do before, but now he can do more than a dozen in a row without any problem. Then, he put his hands on the ground and suddenly exerted force, leaping three or four meters and using the momentum to do a backflip.

A sense of accomplishment welled up from the bottom of his heart. His body had indeed become incredibly agile, and if he continued to practice his lightness skill, flying would not be a problem.

"drink--!!!"

After demonstrating lightness skills, it was time for martial arts. Yang Xiying directly circulated her internal energy, and each internal energy technique had a special effect.

For example, the Iron Armor Force makes the body more robust after being activated, and you can see that your physique increases by ten points when you look at your attribute panel.

It was as if a thin film was attached to the body. This should be another effect of Iron Armor Force that increases one's own defense, using true qi as armor.

However, the defensive capabilities that can be improved are still limited, so Yang Xiying also needs to simultaneously activate other internal energy techniques! The Lifting Cauldron Technique!

--open!

With her strength increasing by 10 points and her attack power also rising, Yang Xiying slammed her palm directly into the ground!

The marble slab cracked directly, but because he used too much force, his palm was cut by the debris.

So Yang Xiying simultaneously activated her third internal energy technique, the Free and Unfettered Heart Sutra! The effect of this internal energy technique was to accelerate the recovery speed of her injuries!

Yang Xiying's hand wounds were healing at a visible speed, and at the same time, his breathing became more regular.

The Free and Easy Mind Technique also has the function of restoring true qi, as long as you maintain your breathing.

True Qi is formed by inhaling pure Qi from all things and stars through breathing exercises, nourishing and mixing the innate and acquired Qi in the body, and finally gathering in the Dantian.

— Breathing and exhaling to transform true qi is the foundation of all internal energy cultivation.

However, when it comes to restoring true qi, one must use the Righteous Qi Song, a qi cultivation method passed down by the famous writer and national hero Wen Tianxiang.

—It can continuously restore true qi and increase its upper limit.

Yang Xiying then activated the Righteous Qi Song Technique simultaneously, giving him both offensive and defensive capabilities, with a continuous flow of power within his body.

"Drink—!!!" He swung his fist while simultaneously circulating four internal energies, one punch seamlessly connecting to the next, or connecting with kicks and elbow strikes.

His movements are now as precise as those shown in kung fu movies, all thanks to learning the Water Margin heroes' palm techniques and nunchaku.

However, these are just basic attacks, but each one makes a loud bang. The ultimate moves of these fist techniques would probably be even louder.

First is Wu Song's Fist Against the Tiger. Although the name includes "fist," most of the attacks used in this move were palm strikes.

Because punches are soft and palms are hard, when facing an enemy with a strong offensive or defensive style, you should first use a palm strike to defend or create an opening.

Finally, aim your powerful punch at the vulnerable spot!

However, this move feels more effective when tested on living organisms, so we fast forward to another move from the Water Margin heroes, Lin Chong wielding his whip.

This move is a leg technique. The user quickly spins their body to sweep their leg towards the enemy's head, followed by a knee strike, giving the impression of someone riding a horse at full gallop.

It is specifically designed to deal with attacks from multiple opponents and is extremely powerful, but its large range of motion makes it easy for opponents to exploit weaknesses.

—It is recommended to use it as a finishing move or when clearing out mobs.

Speaking of knee strikes, we have to mention the Explosive Dragon Kick. Although the name sounds impressive, it is indeed just a knee strike.

But if you practice your punches to the point of shattering mountains, that's no different from a finishing move. The Exploding Dragon God Kick is about how to use a knee strike to cause massive damage.

Squat down and bend your knees to gather strength, then suddenly raise your knee and sprint forward. Although the step of gathering strength sounds extremely vulnerable.

However, other actions can be used instead of charging up the power. The Dragon Tail Gale Kick is an example of this, where the kicking motion is like a fan spinning.

Just like the tornado kick of the white red guy in Street Fighter, it can attack enemies from all directions.

However, the Dragon Tail Gale Kick is a move from Double Dragon, or perhaps the Tornado Kick is similar to this move.

In short, Dragon Tail Gale Kick can replace the charging motion of Exploding Demon Dragon God Kick, since there is a crouching motion involved when jumping down after using this move.

Similarly, the Dragon Tail Gale Kick can replace the charging up of the Heavenly Dragon God Fist—this move is a common rising dragon punch in fighting games.

Furthermore, the Heavenly Dragon God Fist and the Exploding Demon Dragon God Kick can evolve to a certain level, which are moves that Yang Xiying has not yet learned from "Double Fist".

Heavenly Slaughter Spiral Fist and Exploding Demonic Strike! Both require higher levels of internal strength in fist techniques, so he still needs to intensify his internal strength training.

After all, he was also looking forward to showing off his skills, which is a man's romance, and since he was in Gensokyo, it would be a bit out of place not to do some danmaku.

Therefore, Yang Xiying directly opened the panel and began to look at the martial arts books he had collected, even though he didn't have many martial arts points at the moment.

However, learning these skills is not limited to injecting martial arts points; there is also the very ordinary method of reading books and practicing according to the methods described.

Now was the time to confirm just how powerful his 100 comprehension was, so Yang Xiying began to examine the manuals.

The Southern Stance and the Emerald Peak Technique are relatively simple, so let's start with those...

……

"Hey, isn't that the young man from before? Why did he put the celestial book he just got today back?"

As evening approached, the guards at the city gates of the Human Village began their shift change. Dahe was heading home to be with his wife and children when he spotted a familiar figure on the way.

It was Yang Xiying. At this moment, he was standing in front of the statue of the God of War, putting the three books back on the bookshelf, which made him a little strange.

"..." Upon hearing Dahe's voice, Yang Xiying turned around with a very subtle expression, "Brother Dahe—"

"—I suddenly realized that I might be a peerless genius."
