The Horror of Infinite Reincarnation

Chapter 48: The Path of Cultivation (I)

For the next three days, Meng Xiang practiced madly in his room. The key point, of course, was to unlock the potential lock at will and practice strength and speed with the potential lock turned on. At level 1 of the potential lock, the body muscles are fully coordinated, the nerves react sharply, and the fighting techniques become instinctive. However, if you want to improve, you must control the potential lock.

If you want to achieve a perfect combination of potential lock and skills, or even create your own skills, controlling the potential lock is the most fundamental prerequisite.

After three days of hard training, Meng Xiang made little progress. He took a short break and decided to enter the plot world of Yu Yu Hakusho. He checked his physical enhancement attributes: strength 150, physique 150, agility 150, mental strength 110, nerve reaction 130, which was 40 points more than before entering the Ring. Meng Xiang memorized his attributes so that he could compare them after training in the plot world.

To enter the plot world, you must redeem necessary items, such as gold. However, the space bag is monitored by Ding Jie, and the Doraemon pocket worth 20,000 points is too expensive for an individual to afford. Meng Xiang specially checked the relevant props and found that one of the props called "Na Ring" is worth redeeming.

The storage ring is a high-tech product that can open a two-dimensional space to store items. The volume is 1 cubic meter, and it takes 5,000 points to exchange. Meng Xiang coveted the ring, but he couldn't afford 5,000 points. In desperation, he could only exchange it for a backpack, and spent another 200 points to exchange for gold, a small-caliber pistol and 30 bullets, and two sets of clothes.

"Lord God, enter Yu Yu Hakusho, time: 30 days, location: Sarayashiki Junior High School."

Meng Xiang's consciousness blurred, as if he had entered a reincarnation world. When he regained consciousness, he found himself standing on a simple street with few pedestrians. He looked around curiously and saw a school standing not far away. The school gate was inscribed with: Sarayashiki Junior High School.

"Yu Yu Hakusho" tells the story of a bad boy named Urameshi Yusuke who died while saving a child who was in a traffic accident. However, his act of saving the child was completely unexpected by the spirit world. After the test, the spirit world resurrected him and awakened his spiritual power. Then Urameshi Yusuke became a detective in the spirit world, and together with his classmate Kuwabara Kazuma and two other monsters, the fox Kurama and the thief Hiei, they fought against monsters to protect the human world. Sarayashiki Junior High School was the school where Yusuke and Kuwabara attended.

Meng Xiang knew the plot of this famous comic very well, but the comic did not reveal the address of Huanhai's seclusion. He only knew that the temple was in the deep mountains with no human habitation, several hours' drive from the nearest town. In order to find out Huanhai's address, he had to find Urameshi Yusuke or Kuwahara Kazuma.

After waiting for a long time until school was over, Meng Xiang was waiting in front of the school gate. Suddenly, a name attracted him, "Yingzi, let's go eat sushi together later. I found that the sushi at the new sushi restaurant on the next street is delicious yesterday."

Meng Xiang looked in the direction of the voice and saw a boy and a girl walking out of the school gate. The girl had short hair, a round face, and the innocence of a girl next door. Meng Xiang recognized her. This was the heroine Yukimura Eiko, who was also the key protected person when the Nameless Team entered this comic to carry out a mission last time.

The man was unwilling to give in, and Yingzi said impatiently: "I have said many times that I will not go. I want to go home and do my homework."

Meng Xiang strode over, stood in front of the two, and said very politely: "Hello, are you Yingzi? Yusuke often mentions you, and you are indeed pure and lovely."

Yingzi blushed, and her shy look made her even cuter. The man said fiercely, "Are you talking about Urameshi Yusuke? He hasn't been to school for more than two weeks. Maybe he died again because of something?"

"Pa!" Yingzi slapped the man in the face and roared, "Yusuke is not dead, he just went to practice. I don't allow you to curse Yusuke."

The man was slapped in the face and couldn't react for a moment, so he vented his anger on Meng Xiang. He cursed fiercely: "Who are you? Are you here to cause trouble in our school? Aren't you afraid of my boss, the top bad student Kuwahara Kazuma in Sarayashiki Junior High School?"

"Yamamoto, as a student union cadre, haven't you always hated me, the number one bad student in Sarayashiki Junior High School? Why do you call me the boss again?" The voice was rough and careless. One could tell at the first sound that this person was the kind of silly and hot-blooded young man. Meng Xiang knew that the person was none other than Kuwahara Kazuma.

As the second male lead of "Yu Yu Hakusho", Kuwahara is a clown but very popular. He even risked his own life to save Yusuke's. Meng Xiang has always liked this role.

Kazuma Kuwahara was wearing a light blue school uniform, which was different from the uniforms of ordinary students. Following behind him were his good friends Okubo, Sawamura and Kirishima.

Yamamoto was so frightened that he panicked and said with a smile: "I... I... No, this student from another school seems to want to harm Yingzi. Do you think it is wrong to disown him..."

"Unfavorable?" Sang Yuan stared at Meng Xiang and suddenly laughed: "Yamamoto, I didn't expect that as an excellent student in the eyes of the teacher, you dare to talk nonsense. If you really want to harm Yingzi, do you dare to guard the school gate?"

Meng Xiang nodded and thought to himself, "It seems that Sangyuan is not as stupid as described in the comics."

Because of Yusuke, Yingzi and Kuwabara had already become friends. She raised her hand and said, "Kwabara, forget it, Yamamoto, go back and don't bother me." Then she said to Meng Xiang, "Excuse me, do you know Yusuke?"

Meng Xiang nodded and said, "I'm his cousin. I came here to give him a surprise. Is he in school?"

"I've never heard that he has a cousin." Yingzi looked puzzled, and then said: "But Yusuke hasn't been to school for two weeks. I heard from his mother that he seems to be practicing."

"As expected, the current plot tells the story of the two months before the Dark Conference? So, Yusuke is now training with Genkai." Meng Xiang thought to himself, and turned to look at Kuwabara standing beside him and said, "You are the only rival and best friend Kuwabara Kazuma that Yusuke often talks about, right?"

"Haha, the only rival? Is that what he said? Although I am dissatisfied, this identity is not disrespectful to me." Kuwabara touched his head and laughed foolishly. Meng Xiang knew Kuwabara's character very well. Seeing that he was amused, he said: "Since Yusuke has gone to practice, he should be with Master Huanhai, right? I want to go find him. Do you know the address of Master Huanhai?"

"I know, but Yusuke may not be training with the old woman. Let's put it this way," he asked Yingzi for a pen and paper, wrote down the address, handed it to Meng Xiang and said, "You go look for him. If you find Yusuke, tell him that my strength is improving rapidly, and if he doesn't work hard, he will be defeated by me soon. Let's go, I also want to practice hard." After that, Kuwabara and his three friends walked towards the street.

Meng Xiang naturally knew that the Dark Martial Arts Tournament was the climax of Yu Yu Hakusho. In the previous two months, the protagonists fought hard to strengthen their strength. Kuwabara should receive special training from Kurama every day. He found Huan Hai's address, which was a big step closer to his plan. Money is a good thing. Taxi, accommodation, and meals all require money. Meng Xiang's backpack contained a lot of gold, which had to be exchanged for paper money before it could be used. He said goodbye to Yingzi and walked happily towards the prosperous area.

He sold several hundred grams of gold at a jewelry store that recycles gold and earned more than 400,000 yen, which was enough for Meng Xiang's daily expenses. It was almost evening, and Meng Xiang decided to take a car to the temple where Huanhai lived early the next morning. While he had some free time, Meng Xiang squandered some of his money that night and enjoyed a good night.

The temple where Huanhai lived was indeed very remote. Meng Xiang took a car to the neighboring city. The driver asked people while looking at the map. After half a day's drive, they finally stopped on the road at the foot of the temple mountain.

The rest of the journey had to be done on foot. Deep in the mountains, even though it was already noon, the surroundings were quiet and peaceful, with the occasional chirping of blackbirds, which was very pleasant.

The ending of the comic mentioned that all the mountains in this area are owned by Huanhai. Huanhai built a temple deep in the mountains, and no outsiders were allowed to enter. In these deep mountains, there are a few monsters living in seclusion. So this untouched mountain range is actually a paradise for monsters.

"Yu Yu Hakusho" sets up three realms, namely the human world, the demon world and the spirit world. Occasionally, there are space cracks between the human world and the demon world, and a few monsters can come to the human world. However, the setting of this comic is very harmonious. There are not many monsters that really cause trouble to the human world. Some humans with spiritual potential are called psychics, such as the protagonists of this comic, Yusuke Urameshi and Kazuma Kuwabara. They fight to capture these monsters that mess up the human world.

Huan Hai is the best among psychics and the master of Urameshi Yusuke. It took Urameshi Yusuke only half a year to reach the top of humanity. In addition to his own innate advantages, it was more because of Huan Hai's guidance. So Meng Xiang's decision to take Huan Hai as his master this time was well thought out.

In the deep mountains and wild ridges, there is no trace of human civilization except a small rock-paved staircase. After walking along the staircase and climbing over the hills for nearly 2 hours, the temple finally appeared in front of us.

The temple deep in the mountains makes people feel quiet and secluded. The temple door was lightly closed and Meng Xiang pushed it open and walked in.

Inside the gate is a large courtyard, where several middle-aged women in kimonos are busy cleaning and drying clothes. There is no incense in the temple and it is very deserted.

Meng Xiang walked up to a woman who was drying her quilts and asked softly, "Auntie, is Master Huanhai here?"

The woman wiped her wet hands, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said with a bright smile, "Looking for the master? She is drinking tea. Please wait a moment. I will help you pass the message."

"Thank you." Meng Xiang walked to the side and sat down on a stone bench.

Not long after, the woman came over with a short, frail, cold-faced old woman. Meng Xiang recognized the old woman as Huan Hai, the successor of the Spirit Light Wave Fist. He quickly stood up and greeted her, bowing respectfully: "Master, hello, my name is Meng Xiang."

Huan Hai nodded casually and asked expressionlessly, "What do you want from me? To mess things up?"

Meng Xiang didn't care. Huanhai in the comics was originally a cynical person. She once said a very classic saying, which Meng Xiang even regarded as his motto, "I don't think I am righteous, it's just that most of the people I hate are bad people." This was Huanhai's answer when a monster insulted her for being hypocritical.

He smiled and shook his head, bowed and said very politely: "Master, I came here this time to ask you to be my teacher."

"Get lost." Huanhai shouted, covering Meng Xiang's mouth, then turned and left. Meng Xiang smiled and put down his heavy backpack. He put his left hand on his right wrist, concentrated all his spiritual energy on his right fist, shouted, and shotgun spiritual energy spurted out, shooting the ground with a "pa pa" sound. "Master, I know a little bit of the superficial spiritual light wave fist. This is my only move, but I always suffer in every fight. I don't want to lose face for you, so I beg you to train me strictly. One month, no, 29 days, I only have such a short time to practice, and then I will have a life-and-death battle with a strong man. If you don't agree to me, I will die, and the reputation of the spiritual light wave fist will be damaged."

Huan Hai stopped walking, turned around curiously and asked, "Why do you know the Spirit Light Wave Fist? I don't remember anyone else learning the Spirit Light Wave Fist except me and that kid who is suffering now."

Meng Xiang originally did not want to lie, but he would be deducted points for revealing everything about the Lord God and the reincarnation world to the characters in the plot, so he made up a story: "The Spirit Light Wave Fist is a boxing technique passed down from generation to generation in my family, but before me, because I had no qualifications, several generations had not learned this boxing technique. I was born with strong inspiration and taught myself for more than 10 years, but I still couldn't beat the gangsters. As my spiritual power increased, I learned about monsters in the world. The one who dueled with me this time was a monster who wanted to occupy the territory. I was beaten up by him. In order to survive, I said I was your disciple, but he said that even if you, the master, went, he would not be afraid. So I made a bet with him that we would each prepare for 1 month, and then have a fair competition. Whoever loses will have to leave the city. So..."

Before Meng Xiang could finish, Huan Hai narrowed his eyes and said impatiently: "Your story is well-written, but it is full of loopholes. Well, I don't care how you learned this boxing style. I only recruit people with potential. Since you have learned the Spirit Light Wave Fist, I will give you this opportunity. Come with me."

Meng Xiang let out a long sigh. He had prepared that story for a whole night, but before he could finish, Huan Hai saw through it. He secretly sighed that Huan Hai was meticulous. However, Huan Hai's personality was like that. In the original plot, in order to find a successor, she recruited a large number of people for testing. No matter if they were human or monster, as long as they passed the test, she would officially accept them as her apprentice. It was during that test that Yusuke Urameshi defeated the evil monster Ran Tong who was wanted by the spirit world and became the successor of the Spirit Light Hadoken.
