I will be stronger after the remake

Finally, and most importantly, this spiritual energy is permanent and can be used in the real world. Although Tang Ping had suspected that abilities inherited through external means could be unrestricted by the real world, it was ultimately just speculation without concrete evidence. Yuan Ji, on the other hand, personally proved that the Wind Spirit Body could be used in the real world.

It can be said that as long as one obtains the "Wind Spirit Body", it is equivalent to having one foot in the realm of a third-level psychic, and obtaining an immortal body in the mortal world. This psychic power is just that powerful.

However, even the most powerful psychic abilities can only be acquired after Tang Ping becomes a psychic, while "martial arts prodigy" is an innate talent, something one is born with and has nothing to do with psychic abilities.

After weighing the pros and cons repeatedly, Tang Ping finally chose to inherit the title of "martial arts prodigy".

"With this talent, my life before becoming a psionicist will change and will no longer be the same as the first and second playthroughs. Even if my life experiences remain the same, I can protect myself with this talent when I encounter Han Lin's attack again, without having to choose to advance as a 'fox spirit' in the heat of battle."

This is the key factor influencing his decision; he must break free from his old cage.

Next are two enhancement points. This time, Tang Ping didn't consider "martial arts prodigy" anymore. After all, he had personally witnessed the battle of a fourth-level psionicist. Their attacks covered an overwhelming area, and martial arts skills were useless. If you weren't fast enough, even if you anticipated the opponent's attack, you wouldn't have time to escape.

With the first enhancement point invested, the Three-Eyed Spirit Radiance underwent a transformation.

【Three-Eyed True Radiance (Marshal Ma Lingyao of the Heavenly Court): Lord Ma's third eye contains the fire of true yang, which can see through the truth and falsehood of things and discern the sincerity and deceit of people's hearts】

"With the addition of True Yang Fire, it is no longer a purely auxiliary skill, but has gained combat ability, and it is even a fourth-tier attack skill."

The Three-Eyed Spirit was Tang Ping's foundation in the second playthrough. Without this ability, let alone advancing to the third rank in a year, he would probably have died at the hands of others long ago. Therefore, he did not hesitate to invest his last enhancement point into it.

[Enhancement failed; this ability has reached its limit]

The failure message startled Tang Ping, who frowned and said, "Could it be that Lord Ma's reputation only reaches the fourth level and he can't advance to the fifth level? That shouldn't be the case. Even the moon goddess in Greek mythology can reach the fourth level. No matter how low-key Lord Ma is, he is definitely much stronger than her. At least Lord Ma has a temple to worship him and a biography. What does the Greek moon goddess have to offer?"

He read the system prompts several times and felt that it might not be that Lord Ma could not advance to the fifth level, but rather that the spiritual energy of "Three-Eyed True Radiance" could not continue to evolve, and the fourth level was the limit.

After all, not every advancement can transform the previous spiritual energy. It is highly likely that even if Lord Ma advances to the fifth level, "Three-Eyed True Radiance" will still be "Three-Eyed True Radiance".

"From this perspective, unique psionic energy is not necessarily stronger than general-purpose psionic energy."

Tang Ping looked at the last few enhancement points, hesitated for a long time, but still chose to use them to enhance the talent "Martial Arts Prodigy".

The principle remains the same: it's better to develop quickly than to wait until the future.

[Martial Arts Master: Your martial arts talent is comparable to that of Bodhidharma and Zhang Sanfeng in martial arts novels, enough to establish your own school. You can learn any martial art at a glance and master it after just one practice. With a little effort, you can apply what you've learned to other situations and innovate. In battle, you can easily see through the weaknesses and flaws of your enemies.]

Looking at his transformed talent, his heart remained calm as he reached out and clicked "Start New Game Plus".

[The third playthrough is about to begin. Players, please prepare for the fifth, fourth, and so on...]

[Play Tip: Each unlocked achievement will have a subtle impact on the corresponding character. Once all achievements related to the storyline are unlocked, they will become a fact.]

Tang Ping noticed the tips and felt quite helpless: "Couldn't you just tell me all the settings directly instead of squeezing them out bit by bit..."

Before he could finish speaking, a flash of light appeared, and he vanished.

(Note: The previously mentioned revision changed the child's "recalling his past life" to "gaining memories of his past life.")

Chapter 152 A Life with a Sudden Change in Style

"This world is not as simple as it seems. I am definitely not reborn, but have traveled to a parallel world Earth."

Eight-year-old Tang Ping looked at the sparrow she held in her hand, a thoughtful expression on her face.

As a time traveler, the first priority is to understand the background setting after he has traveled to this place. Therefore, after gaining consciousness and having a certain ability to act, he collected information through television and books and finally concluded that he had been reborn.

The reason is simple: the historical development of the past is exactly the same as that of Earth in its previous life.

However, as he grew older and had access to more information, Tang Ping discovered that the development of the two worlds had diverged, and some things did not match his memory. Fortunately, the differences were not significant, and he attributed this to the butterfly effect brought about by his rebirth, which was within the normal margin of error.

But gradually, he realized something was wrong: the athletic talent of his body after transmigrating was unbelievably high!

At first, he just felt that he was very healthy, rarely got sick, and could easily do housework. When the class had a jump rope activity, he could master it after watching it once, and could perfectly reproduce it no matter how difficult it was.

He attributed this to his excellent flexibility, without giving it much thought or planning to invest any energy in it. After all, making a living through exercise is too tough. His life goal remains to pass the civil service exam, preferably in a low-work-load, easy government position, so he can live a leisurely life on the government payroll.

One day, on her way home from school, Tang Ping encountered child traffickers trying to snatch a child. She rushed up and beat a middle-aged man and woman to the ground with her eyes gouged out and testicles popped out. Only then did she realize that her body's athletic talent had exceeded the realm of common sense.

Some people might think that it's normal for someone who knows martial arts to beat someone who doesn't, like Shi Xiaolong in "New Shaolin Temple," who was very powerful.

But Tang Ping knew very well that 7-year-old Shi Xiaolong could never win against a healthy adult male with his bare hands. No matter how good his martial arts skills were, it was useless. The difference in strength and physique was obvious. The adult male only needed to lunge forward and grab him, and no move would work.

He was able to defeat two human traffickers because of his almost cheating predictive ability. Before they even made a move, his intuition told him what they would do next, and their actions seemed to be in slow motion to him, allowing him to calmly think and respond. As a result, he was able to avoid their attacks while precisely striking their vital parts.

From then on, Tang Ping began to cultivate her abilities in this area.

He first learned martial arts moves, from simple ones like the whirlwind kick, the swallow skimming the water, and the horse trampling the swallow, to more difficult ones like the hawk somersault, the black dragon twisting the pillar, and the lotus swing in mid-air. He could master all the moves after trying them a few times, and he learned all the routines in one day.

After that, he challenged himself with more difficult gymnastic moves. This time, things didn't go smoothly, but he still made some progress.

If the move is too difficult and impossible for Tang Ping's physical abilities, he will feel a sense of crisis, as if his body is reminding him not to try it, because he will get injured if he tries.

Conversely, if he has the physical ability to do it, he can reproduce it after a few tries, and the difficulty of mastering it is not much higher than that of the whirlwind kick.

Up to this point, it could still be explained by his amazing athletic talent, but he soon discovered that his body's growth rate was equally astonishing. No scientific planning was needed; as long as he did forty push-ups today, his arm strength would improve by tomorrow.

He mastered those difficult gymnastic moves in just one month of training, and the training content was nothing more than conventional exercise methods such as running, push-ups, sit-ups, and frog jumps.

After a year of training, he can now breakdance with his eyes closed, stepping on the edge of a water tank that has just been rained on.

However, Tang Ping discovered that physical growth is not without limits. The amount of training must reach a certain threshold in order to improve the next day. This threshold increases as his physical fitness improves. Now, he needs to exercise intensely for at least two hours every day to improve.

If they continue to grow like this, sooner or later they will reach a point where no matter how much they exercise, their physical fitness will not improve.

In addition, Tang Ping discovered that when she was in a crisis, the flow of time in her consciousness slowed down, as if she were watching a stop-motion animation. This situation was more like bullet time than dynamic vision.

Moreover, after targeted training, he can now recreate bullet time as long as he concentrates highly, and can easily catch a sparrow flying by.

This is absolutely not something a normal human could do. Tang Ping seriously suspects that he has transmigrated into a world similar to "Dragon and Snake Romance" or "Baki". On the surface, it is no different from Earth in his previous life, but in reality, there is a chaotic underworld.

In the alternate world, martial artists wear the shell of real-world martial arts while doing things that violate the rules of physics and exceed the boundaries of carbon-based life forms.

If she were just an ordinary person, Tang Ping would try to avoid getting involved with the inner world. But since she has such a talent, it would be a waste not to try. Even if she doesn't fight to the death with anyone, it would be good to broaden her horizons.

Therefore, he conceived the idea of ​​abandoning his daily life and embarking on an adventure.

However, as a child still in elementary school, such an idea must be realized with the consent of the guardian.

Tang Ping was confident of this because his father in this life was a very enlightened person who almost always indulged him.

A moment later, footsteps were heard outside the door. A man unlocked the door with a key and walked into the yard with slightly heavy steps.

The man was in his early thirties, about 1.75 meters tall, with sharp, arched eyebrows that swept into his temples. He had a dignified appearance, bright and piercing eyes, and thin, resolute lips beneath a high, straight nose. However, he seemed to have just suffered some kind of attack, as his face was red and swollen, with several red marks on it. His usually impeccably tailored suit was now wrinkled, with a few specks of dust on the hem. His hair, which he had combed meticulously before leaving the house, was now disheveled, with a few strands hanging limply over his forehead.

Upon entering, he slightly parted his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but didn't know where to begin. His face was filled with frustration and helplessness, as if the whole world had played a cruel joke on him.

Tang Ping wanted to get straight to the point, but seeing the other person's expression that seemed to say, "Hurry up and ask me what happened," she could only say, "What happened this time?"

"Sigh, don't even mention it. On my way back, I saw a man beating his wife. The woman was screaming so pitifully. I stepped in to stop the domestic violence and hit the man a few times. But instead of thanking me, the woman repaid kindness with enmity, scratched my face, and threatened to call the police to arrest me. It's really..." The man sighed, "Even an upright official can't settle family disputes!"

Tang Ping didn't join in the sighing, because this wasn't the first time. His father was known for his kind heart and would lend a helping hand to anyone in need. Although he usually received gratitude from those in need, to the point that one wall in their house was covered with banners of appreciation, sometimes he would encounter acts of ingratitude.

"You didn't actually lose money, did you?"

"Of course not! Justice will never yield to injustice!"

The man straightened his back and said righteously, "I severely criticized her actions and warned her, 'It's good that you called the police and made a big fuss. It will make your whole family famous and let the neighbors, relatives and elders know about your character.'"

"And then the woman chickened out?"

"The woman didn't back down, but her husband did."

The man took out a small notebook with a hint of smugness and said, "However, I still managed to find out the couple's names from the neighbors. I'll put them on the local news to make them famous. I can't let my reputation be ruined."

Tang Ping gave a no-comment look.

Although Tang Zheng, the father, was helpful, he was not a saintly, honest man. He would definitely retaliate fiercely if he was wronged. He did not have the moral burden of "I am a good person, so I should suffer injustice." Moreover, as a TV reporter, he was truly capable of getting people on the news, not just talking the talk.

If her father were a submissive and saintly figure, Tang Ping would definitely cite Judge Wang Hao's famous saying as a reminder, lest he lose all the family property one day.

"Why are you holding a sparrow?" Tang Zheng noticed his son's hand, stroked his chin and asked curiously, "Have you finally reached the age where you like playing with birds?"

"I want you to see something."

Tang Ping spoke in a serious tone, then let go of her hand.

The sparrow had been caught for too long, and its wings were a little numb. It had to kick its legs to take off, but at that moment, Tang Ping's palm suddenly caved in, and he withdrew his force.

Once the sparrow's kicking force has subsided, lift it up and hold it in your palm, simultaneously tightening your palm muscles to grip the sparrow's claws, preventing it from taking off.

When the sparrow tried to kick again, he would dent his palm, withdraw his force, and repeat this process continuously.

"Oh, the 'Sparrow Doesn't Fly' move in Tai Chi! Son, you've become a Tai Chi master!"

Tang Zheng's eyes lit up, and he was so excited that he danced around, wishing he could take a picture of the scene.

"What kind of Tai Chi master? This is not something a normal person can do. Even if a bird doesn't kick, it can still fly. It's impossible to prevent it from flying by simply listening to and deflecting its force."

Tang Ping stopped playing with the sparrow and let it go.

“But my son is a genius!” Tang Zheng said proudly.

"Even the most talented person can't... Never mind, in short, I want to learn martial arts! There may really be martial arts masters in this world, and I want to find them to become my disciples and learn from them."

Tang Ping kept a straight face, not wanting to be treated like a child.

“Okay! Dad has many friends all over the country, and he’s well-informed. He’ll definitely be able to find out for you,” Tang Zheng said, patting his chest.

“Dad, I’m not talking about learning martial arts as a hobby, but as a life goal.”

Tang Zheng sensed the seriousness in Tang Ping's tone, thought for a moment, and asked, "Are you sure that practicing martial arts is very hard and you won't regret it?"

"No regrets."

"Okay, I agree."

"Huh, you agreed already?"

Tang Ping knew his father was open-minded and easy to talk to, but he was still surprised that his father agreed so easily, after all, he was only an eight-year-old child.

"Anyway, my son is a genius. Even if you regret it in the future and don't want to suffer, you can catch up completely by continuing your studies. Besides, I am a proper college student. Tutoring a primary school student like you is a piece of cake."

Tang Zheng acted immediately, pulling out his phone book and saying, "I actually know a friend from Chenjiagou. I'll ask him if he knows any real martial arts masters. By the way, son, now that you've learned some supernatural abilities, could you teach your dad? Dad wants to be a hero too!"

……

The next day, Tang Zheng handed the hastily completed news article to the editor-in-chief, giving it an emotionally charged headline: "Stopping domestic violence backfires, passerby speaks out: She deserves to be abused," and then asked his boss for a long leave.

On the third day, Tang Zheng packed his luggage and took Tang Ping to Chenjiagou to visit a famous teacher.

The trip ended in disappointment. It's not that Chenjiagou lacked skilled fighters, but they were all just ordinary people. There were many who could wield the Tai Chi Cannon Hammer with great power, but not a single one could perform a feat of making a sparrow not fly.

However, Tang Ping did not come away empty-handed. Before, he had been studying on his own, but since video websites were just emerging and there wasn't much content available, he couldn't learn by watching videos online. Now, he finally received proper guidance.

After a week of learning, Tang Ping had surpassed his teacher in various styles of martial arts, including lying down, Tai Chi stance, Wuji stance, and cloud hand silk reeling.

When the father and son said goodbye, several masters who had given them guidance hesitated, their faces showing doubt. Finally, they looked at each other, sighed, and went back.

In the years that followed, Tang Zheng took Tang Ping all over the country, seeking out masters and asking questions. At first, they only looked for traditional martial arts, but later they also looked for Sanda, wrestling, and boxing, but they still couldn't find a master who met the extraordinary standard.

Tang Ping, on the other hand, absorbed the essence of various schools of thought and followed the guidance of his body's instincts. After a series of arduous training sessions, he developed hidden strength on his 12th birthday.

This breakthrough reaffirmed his belief that there was definitely a hidden underworld in this world, but those masters were unwilling to show themselves in front of ordinary people. His own reputation was not big enough, and his talent was not high enough, so he did not attract attention. Therefore, he decided to use a more drastic method to force the masters of the underworld to show themselves.

From that day on, Tang Ping embarked on a challenge, kicking his way from south to north, from the East China Sea to the plateau, and from China to abroad.

Ultimately, after defeating a martial arts school owner in Southeast Asia, he was retaliated against by the owner's gunmen. Under the threat of firearms, he broke through to the level of "not a feather can be added, not a fly can land," and successfully counterattacked.

At this point, Tang Ping finally resigned herself to her fate.

This world is not special; there is no such thing as an inner world. What is truly special is himself. This is likely a perk of being a transmigrator, so he obediently went back to school.

As for continuing to practice martial arts, he felt it was pointless.

Although the novels about Chinese martial arts I've read have mentioned three subsequent levels: Dan Jin, Gang Jin, and Jian Shen Bu Hua, these are ultimately just the fantasies of novelists and have no basis in reality.

The level of "Hua Jin" (化劲) is the limit of real martial arts; it is impossible to break through it further.

……

During the summer vacation after the college entrance examination, Tang Ping developed Dan Jin (a type of internal energy).

Chapter 153 Firefighting Hero

Department of Burns, University Affiliated Hospital.

Tang Ping walked into the ward carrying a box of milk and a bag of bananas. She saw Ma Yiming lying on the bed playing on his phone with his entire left arm wrapped in bandages. She greeted him, "Hey, you look pretty good."

"Minor burns on my arm, it's alright." Ma Yiming raised his left arm. "So kind of you, even bringing gifts."

“I certainly wouldn’t bring it myself. This is a token of the class’s goodwill, and I’m conveying our sincere greetings to you as a class representative.”

"I appreciate everyone's kindness, but I can't eat this much by myself. You...you should at least be a little more polite!"
