I am practicing in a weird world

　Xiao Yi was puzzled. In the illusion, it was always a man named Bede who was speaking, but within the steel circle, the title was "The Secret of the Knife", and the content was related to assassination.

　This was different from what he saw in the illusion.

　He opened the book in his hand and looked at it again. The words in the book were still there, but the power of dispute was gone. The power inside had been condensed into the steel ring.

　The book is called "Triumph of the Crown". It tells a story about hiring a killer with money, but it is particularly detailed in describing the killer's organization and killing methods.

　The content is roughly consistent with that in the Iron Circle, which omits a lot of content unrelated to combat, and only has two core contents: lurking and timing.

　Looking inward at his soul again, he saw two steel rings below it. Both were titled "The Secret of the Knife", but the contents were different. One recorded the illusion of endless head-on fighting, and the other recorded the illusion of assassination methods.

　There is no character named Bede in either of the two steel circles.

　He looked at the two steel rings with the same name. There were two conflicting forces in each steel ring. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and his will was concentrated, and he directly merged the two steel rings.

　Suddenly, the text inside began to deform, the content began to change, and new content was generated. The title also changed, and the title became "The Teachings of Bede", and the content was what was shown in the illusion.

　Endless frontal fighting methods and endless assassination methods merged into a man named Bid.

　This steel ring is like a concentric circle, possessing four levels of conflicting power.

　Xiao Yi felt himself and found that his mind was not affected. He clenched his five fingers into a fist and punched into the air.

　There was a whistling sound of breaking wind, and the fist was very powerful.

　I don't feel any increase in strength.

　He felt his body and found no changes.

　The Iron Ring has become stronger, and the power of conflict inside has doubled, but my strength has not changed at all, which shows that this is not how the Iron Ring should be used.

　Conflict is a concept built around war. It can be as small as a quarrel between two people or as big as a confrontation between legions. All violence is included in this concept, and I need to use this concept.

　First, as Bede taught, overlay this concept upon yourself and see yourself as a legion.

　Xiao Yi drew out a portion of the power of conflict and let it spread out from his body.

　The dispute was like a red and black gas, spreading very quickly. As it spread out, Xiao Yi suddenly felt something different. A desire to kill rose in his heart. It was a pure desire to kill. He didn't care who the other person was, nor did he care whether the other person was good or evil. He just wanted to kill.

　Some people like singing, some like painting, and some like shopping. At this moment, Xiao Yi feels that he likes killing people.

　He sensed his body and felt that his control over strength became more precise. He could feel every cell in his body and use the energy in each cell. The cells were like soldiers.

　The muscles, fascia, bones, and everything else that makes up these soldiers are like the phalanxes of an ancient army, and all of this can be clearly and accurately controlled.

　It felt like a general controlling his soldiers, the will being the general and the body being the soldier.

　He punched out.

　"boom!"

　A sound like a hammer hitting something erupted, and this punch was like swinging a huge steel hammer.

　He moved and appeared at the other end of the room in an instant, as fast as lightning.

　My body is still the same body and has not become stronger, but my strength has become stronger. My strength, speed, and reflexes have more than doubled. This is the power that precise control can bring.

　Now I can accurately control every bit of strength in my body, just like a general controlling his soldiers. My body is as precise as a machine. This is the power of conflict.

　But the cost of using this power is very high. It may distort my character and turn me into a bloodthirsty person. Unless it is absolutely necessary, it is better not to use the power of conflict in this way.

　The murderous aura of the power of conflict is extremely heavy. It is better to use it on others than on yourself.

　Conflict is violence, killing, and destruction. Although this force can be integrated like a legion to turn it into a more powerful violence, disorderly and indiscriminate killing should be the nature of the concept of conflict.

　If I inject the power of conflict into the enemy's body, under the influence of this concept, the cells in the enemy's body may kill each other, causing the enemy's body to fall apart in an instant.

　Xiao Yi took back the conflicting power that had overflowed into his body into the steel ring. He clenched his fingers, and the conflicting power formed a flying knife.

　He swung his hand and the flying knife shot out and hit the wall in an instant. Immediately, the vine wall began to collapse. With the flying knife as the center, the green vitality dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye, forming a circle as big as a bowl.

　There is not a trace of green in this circle, only a withered yellow, just like a dead plant. The next moment, the withered yellow turns into dust and is blown away by the wind.

　At the center of the cave entrance, the flying knife formed by the power of conflict also exhausted its power and disappeared.

　The vines began to grow again, forming the wall again.

　Xiao Yi felt that the power of conflict in his body had weakened a little, and he had lost a little of the power of conflict.

　This is what Lin Lingniao said, the more power you use, the less it is. Lin Lingniao can rely on spreading chaos to obtain the power of moths. I don’t know where to find my power of dispute, which is a big restriction.

　I don't know if I can find a solution.

　Xiao Yi put this matter aside for the time being. He looked at another book, which was a forging book called "Basics of Forging". He bought this book with ancient coins.

　Hours later, he closed the book. He already knew how to repair the Noon Stone, which required fire and a material called Yaosu.

　It seems that I have to go to the moth girl with blonde hair and golden eyes to see if she has such a thing for sale.

　Xiao Yi walked towards the door, but at this moment, he suddenly felt that the scenery around him became a little blurry.

　Thanks to @{"reader_id":"2603875","reader_name":"身在星空"} @Seventh Church for the monthly ticket.

　Volume 1: Chapter 74: The End of the Woodland

　The blur was like the colors fading, and also like the water surface shaking, and the whole world seemed to be becoming a little unreal.

　Xiao Yi gathered his will, and then the world before him became real again.

　This phenomenon should mean that the time I can stay in this world is running out. If I continue to force myself to stay, I will need to spend more willpower to keep myself here, just like Lin Lingniao.

　But this world can actually disappear on its own. What a weird world.

　Xiao Yi pushed open the door and walked out.

　"Is there Yaosu?"

　At the counter, Xiao Yi asked the girl with golden eyes and moths.

　The golden-eyed moth was sprawled on the counter, looking very bored.

　"Yes, one set of four ancient coins." said the golden-eyed moth.

　"Can I buy it with my life span?" Xiao Yi asked.

　"Okay, four years of lifespan." said the golden-eyed moth.

　Xiao Yi touched his pocket. He had only three life checks from Lin Lingniao. Each check was for one year of life, so he only had three years to live.

　If he insists on buying it, he will have to overdraw his own lifespan.

　"It's too expensive. I won't buy it."

　Xiao Yi shook his head, then asked, "Do you know the Three-Pointed Gate and the Pure White Gate?"

　"I know." said the golden-eyed moth.

　"Then tell me, where is the Three-Pointed Gate?" Xiao Yi asked.

　The ring master Porter told him about the Three-Pointed Gate and how to open it, but did not tell him where the Three-Pointed Gate was.

　The golden-eyed moth raised her head, her eyes revealing a solemn expression. She said, "The Three-Pointed Gate is what many people pursue, but honestly, it's not suitable for everyone. Not everyone will feel happy after passing through the Three-Pointed Gate.

　Many people have paid everything to reach the Three Pointed Gate, but after passing through this gate, they regret it. However, the matter is done, the transformation is complete, and their regrets are useless.

　"What exactly is the Three-Pointed Gate?"

　Xiao Yi looked puzzled. He had heard from the golden-eyed moth that the Three-pointed Gate seemed to be more than just a gate back to the real world.

　"The Three-Pointed Gate is the gate that grants humans longevity. Passing through this gate, humans will achieve immortality. However, this gate is not easy to reach. This gate exists everywhere, and it also exists nowhere. The only way to reach it is to embrace the concept. That is an extremely dangerous path. If you are not careful, you will die. Even if you don't die, there is a high probability that you will be assimilated by the concept. The ending is really not good. This is a warning from someone who has experienced it.

　Sometimes, it is better to just accept reality and live a quiet life than to try to change your fate. Trying to change your fate may not necessarily lead to a happy and carefree life, but there is a greater chance that it will lead to a life that is as tiring as a dog.

　After the Golden-Eyed Moth finished speaking, he laid down on the counter again, looking depressed.

　"What do you think concept is?" Xiao Yi asked.

　"It's the law. Apples fall from branches, people die when they are killed, and water flows to the lowest point," said the golden-eyed moth.

　"Where is the Pure White Gate and how do we get there?" Xiao Yi asked.

　"The White Gate is in the woods. You can go there if you have the corresponding secret instructions."

　When the Golden-Pupil Moth said this, she raised her head and glanced at Xiao Yi. Her pupils emitted a faint golden glow, and Xiao Yi's figure was completely reflected in her golden pupils.

　After a while, the gold in the golden moth's eyes dissipated, and she said, "With your strength, you probably can't pass the trial of the Pure White Gate. I don't recommend you go. You will definitely regret it if you go."

　"What is the trial of the Pure White Gate?" Xiao Yi asked.

　"Humph, if you want to know, you have to pay."

　The golden-eyed moth reached out to Xiao Yi

　Finished.

　Xiao Yi felt that the golden-eyed moth seemed angry.

　Why was she angry all of a sudden?

　Xiao Yi was puzzled and asked, "How much does it cost?"

　"I want everything you have. Sell me your soul and I will tell you." said the golden-eyed moth.

　"You're collecting souls, are you a devil?" Xiao Yi complained.

　"I'm not a devil, but you smell like one," said the golden-eyed moth.

　"Why do I have the aura of a demon?"

　Xiao Yi looked puzzled.

　"Those who are pleased should give life, those who are pleased should take life, and those who are pleased should never be satisfied. This is the devil's creed, and you have this aura about you."

　Isn’t this what is said in “The Red Secret”? Those things turned out to be demons.

　Xiao Yi immediately thought of the evil ghost in the fast food restaurant.

　It was there that he obtained his "Red Secret".

　"Don't delay my work if you don't pay me. Go away."

　The golden-eyed moth began to chase people away.

　"Then we'll talk next time."

　Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of him, Xiao Yi stopped pestering him and turned away after saying goodbye.

　"Wait a moment."

　The golden-eyed moth suddenly called out to Xiao Yi.

　She took out a set of clothes and said, "Seven days of life."

　Xiao Yi looked at the clothes. There were T-shirts, windbreakers, and pants. It looked like a very ordinary set of clothes.

　"This thing can be bought for a hundred dollars in the real world. Can it last for seven days?" Xiao Yi asked doubtfully.

　"Love it or not, if you don't want it I'll put it away."

　The golden-eyed moth looked as if it didn't care whether it wanted it or not.

　"Yes, I want it."

　Xiao Yi took the clothes away.

　After leaving the golden-eyed moth, Xiao Yi looked puzzled.

　Why did the Golden-Eyed Moth suddenly get angry? Why did she suddenly stuff a pile of clothes at me? What exactly is the trial of the Pure White Gate?

　Just as he was wondering, he felt the scenery around him began to become blurry again.

　Concentrating his will, the surrounding scenery became clear again, but at the same time, he felt tired.

　I don't major in mental power, and my mental power is not as strong as Lin Lingniao's. It is becoming increasingly difficult for me to maintain it. I probably won't be able to stay here any longer before long.

　It's probably time for me to leave here and say goodbye to Lin Lingniao.

　Xiao Yi walked towards his room.

　After changing his clothes and packing his things in his room, he came to Lin Lingniao's room and knocked on the door.

　"It's me, Xiao Yi."

　As Xiao Yi's voice sounded, the door opened.

　Inside the guest room, Lin Lingniao still looked exhausted. She asked weakly, "Come here, do you want to sleep with me?"

　"Don't say things that may cause misunderstandings. I feel tired and can't stay here any longer, so I want to leave and say goodbye to you." Xiao Yi said.
