Chapter 12: Miracle of Qi

It is difficult to get started with Qi Miracle, but it is not that difficult to master it.

At Anti's request, Nie Hong first taught him the most basic "controlling objects".

Without much effort, the red wave extending from Anti's hand successfully enveloped a small stone, lifted it up tremblingly, and then pulled it into his palm.

"Wow, you learn really fast." Nie Hong couldn't help but exclaim.

"It's okay, it feels a bit magical, different from other miracles." Anti said while fiddling with the stone in his hand.

"I specialize in the Qi miracle. As for other miracles, I have only learned body shaping and calming. Naturally, I don't understand that big category at all." Nie Hong said with his hands behind his head.

"Is the miracle inheritance on Blue Star very complete?" Anti thought of this question.

After all, according to Safin, if one wants to learn Qi miracles in the mixed dream world, one must either go to the Qi Academy in the sanctuary or go to the legendary "Xuan Shang" country.

"Basic miracles should be available. I'm just a college student and I don't know anything. We are only allowed to learn miracles in high school, and we can only learn body shaping and calmness. After college, we can combine our ambitions and our strengths to be assigned to different schools and departments."

"So, are there many people who learn Qi Qi?"

"Very few. Although everyone has inspiration, there are really few people who can truly sense Qi. There is only one class in the Qi Academy of my school, and there are only about twenty people in the class." Nie Hong said while picking his ears.

After saying this, he felt that it might not be intuitive enough, so he gestured: "My school is a famous university in the country!"

An Ti glanced at him, then pointed his hand at Nie Hong's head, with red light emitting from his hand.

Nie Hong was stunned when he saw this, then laughed and said, "No, 'Controlling Objects' is for dead objects. In Qi Miracle, dead objects and living objects are also classified into two different categories... Shit! Why are you pulling my hair!"

After being criticized by An, Nie Hong's arrogance, which had just been raised, suddenly weakened again.

Although he wanted to continue learning more, some cursed bodies began to appear around him. Although these cursed bodies were no longer threatening to Anti, the messy environment was not conducive to learning.

Anti casually put the flying knife on his shoulder back into his body, and then returned to Safin's cave with Nie Hong with a horrified expression.

When Safin saw Anti bringing Nie Hong in, he immediately understood something.

"It seems you are lucky to have met a companion."

"It's hard to say, maybe they just look alike." Anti replied.

Safin smiled and shook his head, saying, "I think it's about time for you to come back. The meat is almost cooked, so we can start eating right away."

Nie Hong was a little reserved and didn't understand what the two were talking about.

Safin looked at him and said, "If this little brother doesn't mind, let's eat some together. It's just some game."

Anti ignored them, sat down by the campfire, picked up a skewer of meat and started biting into it.

The blood consumed for regeneration today was not fully replenished by the enemy's blood, it was all because those people were too weak to take a beating. He did not chase Nie Hong immediately because he wanted to use the blood of the pursuers behind him to make up for the loss.

Unfortunately, he seemed to have underestimated the power of his skills to suppress these believers who were basically at the entry level once they began to develop.

In short, if you have no blood, you can either pay for the induction power or eat more.

Being able to eat is a blessing, so he chooses to eat more.

Nie Hong took a bunch of meat and asked carefully, "What is this meat?"

"Bear meat, beaten by Anti." Safin replied.

Nie Hong shuddered.

He has also been to the zoo to see bears. Although he knows that bears are dangerous in the wild, his impression of bears is mostly that they are cute.

The school also teaches that some people may not be able to adapt to the climate in the dream world, so if you stay there for a long time, try to bring your own dry food instead of eating the food there, and don't eat food of unknown origin.

However, if he doesn't eat, will it be considered as not giving face or something...

After struggling for a long time, Nie Hong finally started to chew it quietly.

It wasn't tasty, the meat was tough and hard to chew.

Naturally, Safin and Anti's processing of game is relatively simple and rough. If they can eat it without killing the animal, it is considered a success. The taste is too luxurious.

Nie Hong kept thinking, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do," while silently enduring it.

After Anti replenished his energy, he began to talk to Safin about what he had encountered outside and how he met Nie Hong.

He had no reservations, even including the fact that he would kill Nie Hong with a single blow.

Safin listened and didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You always encounter strange things, and your habit of doing things is too direct." Having said that, he didn't mean to blame Antii. In his opinion, Antii's reaction was completely within the scope, and the dream world was not a beautiful world.

Nie Hong buried his head as he listened.

Indeed, from Anti's perspective, he was just a brat who ran over and inexplicably shot a few flying knives at Anti's vitals, and then he deserved to be caught and beaten up for revenge.

"What are you going to do if he says he has no life lock left?"

"Break his legs first." Anti said casually while chewing the meat. Safin laughed.

Nie Hong trembled even more violently.

He was caught in a vulnerable position and his hand was shattered by a single hit from the hammer. He didn't even dare to imagine how painful it would be if his leg was broken.

Fortunately, he was honest and decisive at that time!

"He is also good at Qi miracles. It is indeed necessary to keep him. It will not do you any harm." Safin said.

Anti nodded.

"In that case, I suggest you go back to the Land of Destiny with him to rest up. Don't refuse. The Land of Destiny has unique conditions. If you can find a place to stay, you will have more confidence when you return to the Dream World to challenge danger in the future. I can see that you also want to go there to take a look. After all, you are a mysterious and wonderful person."

Safin spoke to Anti in a hoarse voice, and when Anti wanted to speak, Safin interrupted him.

After the two looked at each other for a long time, An Ti nodded slowly and said, "I hope you can still hold on when I come back."

"That's fine, as long as you don't forget about me. Of course, even if you forget about me, it's not a bad thing."

"Don't always say discouraging words." Anti said impatiently.

Nie Hong stared blankly at the two people beside the campfire.

He had learned the common language of the dream world very well, but in this situation he couldn't understand anything. It was obviously something that had nothing to do with outsiders, so he could only remain silent.

However, one thing is still clear, that is, can the big guy next to him go back to Blue Star with him?

After talking for so long, he had already thought of this person as a super NPC with a hidden plot, but it turned out that he was actually a fellow villager?!
But it always feels weird.

Nie Hong’s little head was confused.

After that, everyone stopped talking and ate quietly.

After dinner, Anti calmed himself down and continued to ask Nie Hong about the content of the miracle. Safin also came over with great interest to listen, just as a way to supplement himself with new knowledge that he had never known before.

Nie Hong felt really pressured by being stared at by two people. Her voice trembled when she spoke and she had no confidence at all.

However, Anti's learning ability was still strong as his sensitivity increased, and he quickly mastered "condensation control".

"Control" and "Controlling Objects" are two similar but very different categories under the Qi system.

Just as Nie Hong said before, controlling inanimate objects with Qi and controlling living things with Qi are two completely different things.

As basic Qi miracles, with similar consumption of sensing power, Object Control can easily manipulate objects of a certain degree with great flexibility, whereas Condensation Control can only immobilize a living creature for a short period of time.

"Because, if you want to control a living creature, you need to use your own external energy to suppress the target's energy. This confrontation process is much more troublesome than controlling an object." Nie Hong explained briefly.

Anti and Safin both nodded thoughtfully.

Nie Hong waited for a while and saw no problem, then continued, "Then I will continue to teach you 'self-defense'?"

"There's no need for self-defense. What was that killer move you had been planning for a long time and that I interrupted in the end? And what was the miracle of Qi that you mentioned that required drinking alcohol to use?" Anti refused the teaching of self-defense and asked.

There is no need for self-defense. It is inconvenient to counterattack at a distance, and it does not suit his current habits.

Nie Hong was a little embarrassed, but still said: "I wanted to use the 'Chi Gathering Hand' at that time, which is a miracle that I haven't mastered yet. This miracle can forcibly draw Chi from a living creature by touching it with my hand. When the Chi is taken away, the target will either become paralyzed and weak at best, or die from blood stasis at worst."

"So powerful." Anti raised his eyebrows. At that time, Nie Hong even rubbed the totem to strengthen his energy-gathering hand. It could be said that he tried his best. However, Anti also realized that he wanted to make a big move, so he just went along with him and gave him a flaw.

At this time, Safin said, "If it's hard to control living things, then we can just plunder their Qi. Is that what you mean?"

Nie Hong was stunned: "Ah? I don't know, it's just a miracle..."

Apparently he hadn't thought about it that much.

"Sorry, I talked too much." Safin nodded and didn't say anything more.

Anti glanced at Safin, then continued to look at Nie Hong: "Where is the miracle of drinking?"

"If you drink, you can use a miracle called 'gas power'. I haven't mastered it yet. After using it, your chi will have the property of burning. This will happen to anyone who uses the power of chi for a period of time. It can also ignite other people's chi. But in fact, this miracle is also very dangerous. If you don't control it well, it will burn your body."

After listening to Nie Hong's series of explanations, Safin couldn't help but sigh: "It is indeed an inspiration that is both mysterious and dangerous. I can perhaps understand why the Sanctuary Qi Academy refuses to include the Qi miracle related content in the basic textbooks."

Anti didn't think too much about it, he just thought they were all pretty good.

Isn't anger cool?

It’s even cooler that there are so many ways to play the Qi Miracle in this world.

"Teach me." He said succinctly.

"Okay, okay." Nie Hong nodded quickly.
