Chapter 21: The Announcement of Failure
One day, two days, three days…
Yi Chen spends almost every day understanding the patterns and characteristics of the wind, studying the movements of birds and beasts.
He says "almost" instead of "all," because he occasionally returns to the Flame Mountain Tribe to check on the tribe members’ speed of cultivation.
It is quite good.
On the day he taught, over twenty people sensed the existence of spirit energy and the Qi Sea, allowing them to begin their cultivation.
The next day, aside from the elders and children with poorer comprehension, everyone sensed the presence of spirit energy and the Qi Sea.
This gives Yi Chen a general understanding of the talent among the tribe members of the Flame Mountain Tribe.
After that, more and more tribe members break through to the Qi Condensation Second Stage, and some even manage to learn the Flying Blade Technique during their spare time.
The average strength of the entire Flame Mountain Tribe rises at an astonishing speed.
Especially Guli and Rog, who are already warriors of the tribe with extremely high talent.
In just four to five days, they break through to the Qi Condensation Second Stage and learn the Flying Blade Technique.
Now, if Guli encounters the horned pig that once pushed her into a desperate situation, she can easily defeat it.
As for the ordinary tribe members, once they break through to the Qi Condensation Second Stage, their strength will definitely not be inferior to the previous Guli and Rog.
If they learn the Flying Blade Technique, they will only grow stronger.
This means that after Yi Chen begins promoting the Chaos Technique, ordinary tribe members only need to break through to the Qi Condensation Second Stage and learn the Flying Blade Technique to surpass the level of tribe warriors.
According to Yi Chen’s estimate, this will take about a month.
Genius-level cultivators can break through to the Qi Condensation Second Stage in three to five days.
But ordinary cultivators will take about a month.
At this moment, everything has just started. He has not yet created formations that accelerate cultivation or spirit pills to enhance strength, so he can only patiently wait for the tribe members to grow.
Fortunately, with his current realm and talent, even though he cannot create formations or alchemy, he can devise other skills that will still enhance the tribe members’ strength.
Right now, he is researching and creating one of those skills.
Movement Techniques!
This is a type of skill he planned to study and create long ago.
Compared to fierce beasts, humanity’s body is too weak.
Even for strong warriors like Guli and Rog, they seem tiny in front of fierce beasts.
But being small has its advantages.
First is agility.
Yi Chen plans to create a set of Movement Techniques to greatly enhance this advantage.
Once humanity’s speed can increase several times, or even tens of times, they can leverage speed to gradually wear down the fierce beasts.
Even if one cannot win, they can easily escape.
Once the Movement Techniques are widely adopted, the Flame Mountain Tribe, the cornerstone of conquering the world, can officially begin to expand beyond the valley.
According to Yi Chen’s plan, in about three months, when winter ends and spring blooms, it will be time for the Flame Mountain Tribe’s first expedition.
Sharpening the knife doesn’t delay chopping wood!
Although he is eager to expand his influence and enhance the talent bonus, he does not want to act too hastily.
…
The Flame Mountain Tribe is steadily developing step by step, and all tribe members can clearly feel their strength growing day by day.
Each person becomes immersed in excitement and hard work every day.
Across the various human planets in the Milky Way, humanity is filled with anxiety.
"What’s going on? It has been over ten days since the establishment of the Yiyao Skill Research Institute; why haven’t any new skills been announced?"
"Could it be that these skill research institutes have created skills better than the improved version of the Chaos Technique, and because they are too good, they are reluctant to share and decided to break their promise?"
"Impossible! There have already been thousands of skill research institutes established; one or two might break their promise, but with thousands in total, not a single one has announced a new skill!"
"The appearance of this situation can only mean one thing—none of these skill research institutes have successfully created a skill better than the improved version of the Chaos Technique so far."
"How can that be? These skill research institutes have gathered a large number of top talents whose cultivation speed is not much slower than that of Yi Chen, the founder."
"Dozens or even hundreds of top talents gathered together, exchanging ideas and working together to research new skills; it shouldn’t be slower than Yi Chen."
"Not to mention, there are many high-end instruments and a large number of researchers creating better research plans."
"But if they haven’t created anything better than the Chaos Technique, why hasn’t a single research institute announced anything?"
"What is going on?"
As time passes day by day, the people on various planets grow restless and frustrated.
The official websites of the skill research institutes are flooded with countless messages inquiring about their progress.
The Yiyao Skill Research Institute was the first to announce its establishment and the first to declare that it was ready to go.
It was also the first to release an announcement fifteen days after its completion.
"Research Results on New Skills!"
The entire report consists of dozens of pages.
It even includes some videos of the experiments conducted.
According to this announcement, the public is shocked to learn that the Yiyao Skill Research Institute invested an astounding amount of several hundred billion in funding.
The head of the research institute is a widely renowned giant who ranks among the top three in the field of biology.
They recruited over five hundred talented individuals.
Despite this, the endeavor ended in failure.
Over the course of two weeks, none of the more than five hundred geniuses successfully grasped deeper natural laws or the properties of spirit energy.
Throughout those two weeks, the Yiyao Skill Research Institute conducted over fifty experiments.
Even with the assistance of various top instruments, not a single genius managed to successfully outline any complete pathway of energy circulation.
Not only did they fail to surpass the pathway of the improved version of the Chaos Technique, but they could not even outline the simplest one, which would be less advanced than the first generation of the Chaos Technique.
Additionally, among these fifty-plus talented cultivators, over thirty were left incapacitated.
Each of them not only ended in failure but also suffered a violent backlash from the spirit power.
The strength of this backlash varied.
Some, with the help of advanced medical equipment, were able to recover.
But some, whose Qi Sea and meridians were severely damaged, could not be repaired even with the current level of medical care for humanity.
Each set of test data and each video of experiments proves the authenticity of this report.
Once this announcement is released, it shocks all of humanity.
The entire Milky Way trembles in response.
The stock market across the Milky Way sees the pharmaceutical stocks plummet wildly.
Even stock prices in other industries follow suit, dropping significantly…
