Chapter 57 A Frog in a Well
Chapter 57 A Frog in a Well
Deep Blue, give me some points!
Fang Yuan roared inwardly, his will as sharp as a knife, slashing fiercely at the plus sign.
Om-!
As the panel trembled, the [Daoist Charm] value instantly dropped.
Then, an unprecedented and strange vibration rose from his dantian and rushed up his spine to his brain.
Caw~~~~~!
Ah, that feels so good! quack!
Fang Yuan subconsciously let out a frog-like groan.
Then, startled, she looked around to make sure Chen Tieshan and the child weren't paying attention before focusing on her own changes.
The vibration felt somewhat like the body-strengthening effect of the croaking of frogs and the sound of thunder, except that it seemed to affect one's consciousness.
In other words, those foggy thoughts in one's mind.
My mind was buzzing.
It felt like countless frogs were singing in unison inside my skull, or like thunder was exploding in my mind.
The indigo-colored frame flashed wildly, eventually settling on two completely different roads.
[Note: You have reached the theoretical limit of your current body in cultivating the [Unknown Martial Arts - Fragment], and cannot break through further. You need to choose a direction as the focus of your next breakthrough!]
【Direction 1: Unknown Martial Arts (Fragment) (Kindergarten Senior Class, Kindergarten Fourth Floor)】
[Introduction: This is the ultimate path to controlling the quantity of thoughts. Your thinking will become extremely divergent and unpredictable, and the rate at which your thoughts arise will be greatly increased, but it will also cause you to become confused. This confused thinking can give you a certain degree of resistance when facing mental attacks. You will be greatly immune to cognitive manipulation and will greatly enhance your ability to manipulate the cognition of others.]
[Direction 2: View the Sea (First Floor of Elementary School)]
[Introduction: Derived from a combination of 'unknown martial arts' and 'frog croaking thunderous sound'. Using thunderous sound vibrations to cleanse the consciousness will significantly increase the duration of one's 'thoughts,' but it will also make you stubborn. This stubbornness will grant you a certain resistance to mental attacks. You will be greatly immune to cognitive manipulation, greatly increasing your cultivation speed.]
Quack?
Kindergarten senior class?
Feeling confused? Becoming stubborn?
quack!
Why did negative effects occur after strengthening both directions?
Damn it, does your technique directly affect thinking?!
Fang Yuan looked at the descriptions from both directions, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
Whether it's ruining his brain and turning him into a madman so that his enemies can't understand him, or becoming stubborn and headstrong like Xiang Yu, who died tragically in Jiangdong, neither of these are things he wants!
But what can we do now that we've already added points? We can only weigh the benefits and choose the lesser of two evils.
Option two is the only option left!
Being a little stubborn is much better than being a little confused! Besides, the first floor of an elementary school is significantly larger than the fourth floor of a kindergarten!
He's a frog destined to become a college student! He wants to be a knowledgeable frog!
quack!
Choose two!
Fang Yuan made his choice without further hesitation.
boom!
With the choice made, the clamor in my mind instantly became organized.
Those previously chaotic and scattered thoughts, at this moment, seemed like soldiers who had heard the general's command, quickly gathered, arranged, and condensed.
My previously chaotic thoughts began to be sorted out very quickly.
Fang Yuan suddenly had a sudden realization...
For example, his three most important thoughts right now are "becoming human", "surviving", and "trying to find his way home". The third thought is something he has never been aware of before.
For example, his current focus and most superficial thoughts are [escaping from prison], [exploring the world], and [cultivating immortality].
As Fang Yuan gained enlightenment, a cool yet resilient power spread from his mind, creating a wondrous reaction with the surging [Mountain-Shaking Force] qi and blood within his body and the [Frog's Roar Thunder Sound] internal energy in his dantian...
[Viewing the Vast Ocean (Elementary School, First Floor)]! Breakthrough successful!
Fang Yuan slowly opened his eyes.
The once dimly lit prison now appeared completely different in his eyes.
He saw it.
He saw countless grayish-white fluffy things floating in the air, which were the chaotic thoughts emanating from the people around him.
These thoughts were originally like dust in the air. Based on his understanding after adding points to that unknown cultivation technique, he could know that they existed, but they were difficult to see.
But now, they are crystal clear.
Fang Yuan also saw that in the next cage, the gray mist representing "sin" on Chen Tieshan's body was being slowly squeezed out by his own newly formed thoughts, like toothpaste being squeezed out.
The process was crystal clear.
And more importantly...
Fang Yuan tried to inflate his throat sac.
"Quack."
A deep croaking sound rang out.
But this sound is no longer just a vibration of the air.
With a slight thought from Fang Yuan, the internal energy within his body instantly enveloped the sound, transforming into a ripple indistinguishable to the naked eye, which crashed straight into Chen Tieshan.
The moment the ripples struck Chen Tieshan, the dense layer of sinful thoughts that had just been squeezed out suddenly churned and dissipated in large chunks, like dust swept away by a gale.
Chen Tieshan, who was trying to sleep in the corner but couldn't fall asleep, suddenly jolted, his eyes regained a glimmer of clarity, and he felt as if he had let go of some of his worries and anxieties.
The next moment, shallow breathing sounds began to rise.
Become!
I've also developed a slight ability to influence cognition!
Fang Yuan took a deep breath.
What if we used this method to attack those ghost soldiers who only have a few faint thoughts wrapped around them?
Fang Yuan's eyes flickered, but he ultimately gave up on launching a surprise attack at this moment.
He needs to be patient and wait for a more opportune moment to escape.
……
Fang Yuan glanced at the remaining [Daoist Aura]: 1.58
There's still a surplus!
He is currently at the first level of the elementary school. According to the nature of the system, the first four levels of the elementary school stage usually only require the accumulation of Daoist energy, without the need for additional "cushions" to break through the bottleneck.
Then let's go all out and charge forward!
[Taoist Rhyme] → 1.50
[Viewing the Sea (Elementary School, First Floor)] → [Viewing the Sea (Elementary School, Second Floor)]
The thoughts in my mind became more focused, and the sense of control became clearer.
A strong sense of resentment and a strong desire to avoid staying in prison quickly arose within him.
[Taoist Rhyme] → 1.42
[Viewing the Sea (Elementary School, Second Floor)] → [Viewing the Sea (Elementary School, Third Floor)]
The scope of perception is expanding, and the thoughts entangled with other people around are becoming clearer.
continue!
[Taoist Rhyme] → 1.34
[Viewing the Sea (Elementary School, 3rd Floor)] → [Viewing the Sea (Elementary School, 4th Floor)]!
Boom!
The moment Fang Yuan broke through to the fourth level of elementary school, a sudden change occurred.
This time, it was no longer a shock to the body or mind.
Rather... the whole world has changed.
Or rather, it's as if perception has reached a certain limit, like a camera that keeps shooting from space to the ground, stretching the distance towards the sky to expand the field of view, until at a certain moment, it suddenly passes through the Earth...
Then came the endless, profound, and breathtaking beauty that defies description...
The vast universe.
Fang Yuan's perception was the same.
Fang Yuan felt a blur before his eyes, and the dimly lit prison, iron cage, and even Chen Tieshan and the child all vanished in an instant.
Instead, there was a boundless, bizarre and wonderful scene.
He...saw it...
He saw an endless, boundless mist... no, not an endless mist... but an endless, boundless expanse of thoughts, like clouds in the sky, covering the entire earth!
That was just a thought...?!
That was just a thought!?!?
It was a thought so enormous it defied description.
It is beyond comprehension, beyond understanding, beyond description, beyond summarization.
Those ghost soldiers and officials walking in this ghostly realm, and even those humans who were captured and brought here, were as insignificant as dust in the face of these enormous thoughts.
That thought was like an endless, deep sky, obscuring everything.
When you look back, you find that no matter how far you peer, you can't see the end.
……
What is that...?
Fang Yuan didn't know.
He felt a chill run through his body, and an unprecedented sense of insignificance welled up within him.
At that moment, he suddenly felt so incredibly small, so incredibly insignificant, so incredibly simple.
He really is... just like a frog.
A tiny frog crouching at the bottom of a deep well.
He looked up at the patch of sky above the well, a patch no bigger than the palm of his hand.
He had always thought that this world was a simple ancient world, but later, martial arts told him that his understanding was wrong.
He thought there might still be some strange things in the world...
But later, the strange thing told him that his perception was still wrong.
He thought that the power of an individual in this world was only so great...
But... Fang Yuan suddenly felt that he was like a frog at the bottom of a well, only peering into the endless deep space from the well's opening from beginning to end.
"Croak..."
Despair arises spontaneously.
Feelings of insignificance
Feelings of inferiority
【nothingness】
[Just commit suicide!]
These thoughts flashed through my mind in an instant.
They said:
give up.
There's no way to escape from here.
What's the point of adding points?
Even if you add points and still end up as just a minor character?
Just like a player character in a game, no matter how much cheating you do, you still end up following the predetermined storyline.
There's no way to escape the script...
It's meaningless...
Give up the struggle...
The temptation was so strong, so sweet, that it made one want to close their eyes and drift off to sleep.
……
--【Stubborn】
On what grounds?
I don't want to!
—【Rebellion】
I want to live!
——【Longing】
I'm looking forward to going home!
——【Sense of accomplishment】
I will become the Heavenly Emperor! I will prove myself! I will…
--【confidence】
I will become a human.
--【belief】
[If you take action, there's nothing you can't do!]
In an instant, countless stubborn and childish thoughts arose, resisting those thoughts!
Fang Yuan gasped sharply, quickly snapping out of his self-destructive state!
Oh shit!
Fuck you!
I finally managed to time travel once, I finally got the cheat code, and I finally got to experience the joy of hard work and sweat!
So, you just want to die like that?!
How is that possible!
The technique was activated rapidly, and internal energy rushed into the mind, quickly amplifying one's positive thoughts!
Deep Blue! Hold on!
Fang Yuan roared inwardly, forcefully activating the newly advanced [Viewing the Vast Ocean] within his body.
The spiritual power of the fourth-level elementary school student erupted at full force!
However, the side effects of [stubbornness] seem to affect not only the positive thoughts that he has, but also the negative thoughts that make Fang Yuan feel extremely uncomfortable.
Fang Yuan could feel that he was lacking energy and felt like he didn't want to move at all.
The change was so obvious that even my urge to croak had become somewhat sluggish...
Fang Yuan took a deep breath.
At this moment, he no longer cared about whether continuing the breakthrough would cause him to shed his skin, feel hungry, or undergo further changes in his body.
Viewing the Vast Ocean
Fifth level, break through!
