Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 192: Chapter 142 Dual Use_2

No need to mention that many of the allusions and word usages contained within are incorrect, leading to misunderstandings.

In fact, Li Shiming simply flipped through the document as if inputting the “Dual-Brain Combat” technique entirely into the IBMz15.

This mundane cultivation technique was not highly valued by the sect; what was placed here was merely the complete version.

“I’ll take this ‘Dual-Brain Combat’ manual!” Li Shiming was not at all stingy with the good deeds, as he spoke to Senior Brother Liu.

“Two good deeds for this manual, Mr. Li. Just take it, and I’ll make a copy later!” Senior Brother Liu was very pleased to be able to help him, saying with a smile.

Li Shiming examined the book in his hand, noting the style and era of the book; it appeared to be the original version.

“Then I thank you, Senior Brother Liu!” It was indeed a favor given by Senior Brother Liu, he said as he took out his Identity Jade Disc.

Holding the ‘Dual-Brain Combat,’ he left the Hidden Technique Pavilion, recalling the contents of the ‘Dual-Brain Combat.’

Although ‘Dual-Brain Combat’ was a mundane cultivation technique, it still involved the spiritual level. Disregarding the use of inner Qi and such, just the ingenious spiritual concepts alone had sparked many inspirations for him.

The inventor of ‘Dual-Brain Combat’ was very bold, utilizing martial artist’s inner Qi in the head, separating the left and right brains. On this basis, using spiritual techniques, they achieved two independently thinking brains.

In medical research from his previous life, the middle part of the left and right brain was called the corpus callosum.

And there was a surgery called corpus callosum section, a treatment for epileptic disorders.

This surgery was extremely dangerous and was widely used in the early stages of medical development, producing a lot of surgical data.

Li Shiming would not consider severing his corpus callosum to learn ‘Dual-Brain Combat,’ no wonder so few people could successfully cultivate it. This technique had a somewhat similar effect to the ‘Sunflower Manual’ in some respects.

However, the principle of ‘Dual-Brain Combat’ could be referenced as an approach to solving problems before obtaining the cultivator’s Divine Separation Technique.

He did not have much time left because the drop of essence blood in his clone would be completely absorbed in a few days, at which point he could summon the clone out of the machine room space.

The clone was very significant for him; as a clone cultivated through Life-bound Corpse Refinement, it could advance to the Foundation Establishment stage first, thus he would have the combat power of the Foundation Establishment stage with him.

Besides, if he could do dual-tasking, he would have more time to study and research.

Separating the left and right brains did not require cutting the corpus callosum to such an extreme, he could use Spiritual Thought to directly block the connection between the left and right brains.

Afterwards, using the spiritual techniques of ‘Dual-Brain Combat,’ he would enable the left and right brains to think independently. Once accomplished, it would then be fine to restore the connection between the left and right brains.

Of course, Li Shiming’s idea first had to undergo a safety analysis by IBMz15 and be subject to a biological simulation experiment within the IBMz15.

The IBMz15 already contained the medical simulation system from his previous life’s university, making it unnecessary for him to rewrite the software.

Just importing the data, the simulation system would perform experiments on a virtually generated human body, deriving theoretical experimental data through analysis and computation.

Li Shiming did not need this experiment to be perfect; he was using Spiritual Thought to separate the left and right brains, not actually severing them, so theoretical support was sufficient.

After analysis and calculations by IBMz15, he obtained a 78% success rate in the analysis report.

That evening, in the absence of any disturbances, he activated his Spiritual Thought to separate his left and right brains.

Just after the separation of his left and right brains, he tried to take a few steps. Despite his brain clearly sending a command, one of his feet did not move forward, and he suddenly fell to the ground.

“It’s good that I didn’t directly cultivate ‘Dual-Brain Combat’!” he muttered to himself with a shake of his head and a wry smile.

Once he got used to the body, he began using spiritual techniques to enable the left and right brains to think independently.

To be honest, he had been prepared for countless failures, but in practice, he found he had been overthinking it.

The first time he employed spiritual techniques to allow his left and right brain to think independently, he mysteriously succeeded in having each hemisphere of the brain think about different mathematical problems without interfering with each other.

In fact, this was related to his usual practice of dedicating a part of his consciousness to the machine room space, which, to a certain extent, was also a kind of multitasking training.

With the successful and safe guidance of his predecessors, his previously intentional actions were steered in the right direction.

Though still somewhat unaccustomed after a day, he indeed achieved multitasking.

This feeling was very strange, as he could use his right brain to control the left side of his body to do things completely unrelated to the right side, while the left brain controlled the right side of his body to perform different actions.

When he upgraded this sensation, using his right brain to control his entire body, his freed left brain then descended into his clone through his consciousness.

This was even more relaxing than controlling the left side of the body, managing one body split into two halves was much more complicated than managing a whole body.

‘Fighting with both hands’ was like a key that opened the door to multitasking for Li Shiming; the subsequent changes were no longer credited to ‘fighting with both hands.’

This mundane cultivation technique could not comprehend spiritual thoughts or consciousness.

As Li Shiming’s adaptation period lengthened, his use of multitasking became more effortless, and he could maintain control of two bodies simultaneously for extended periods.

He observed the world with four eyes and did different things with four hands; everything superficially irrational became simple and rational with multitasking.

A few days later, in the evening, Li Shiming enhanced the small Mountain Protection Array to its maximum and set up a Qi-sealing formation in the underground space where he was located.

He was within the Qi-sealing formation, his consciousness entering the machine room space.

Suddenly, a figure appeared beside him; Li Shiming, now eighteen and a third place laureate, had cultivated the ‘Vajra Body Protection Divine Skill,’ ‘Sword Demon Secret Manual,’ and ‘Devil Sound Lotus,’ among other techniques, giving him a unique aura and an exceedingly handsome face.

But as soon as his clone appeared, it surpassed his original self.

The clone’s perfect face, determined by IBM z15 analysis and calculations, needed no aura enhancement to be recognized as the most exquisite treasure in the world.

Not to mention, the clone had also cultivated the ‘Sword Demon Secret Manual’ and possessed a spirit far superior to Li Shiming’s, giving it a unique allure.

“Did I go a bit overboard?” Li Shiming muttered to himself as he looked at his clone.

“Fellow, am I not just you? What is too much?” the clone replied with a smile.

“Right, who wouldn’t want such a face!” Li Shiming laughed and said.

The scene of him talking to himself seemed somewhat eerie, but through such interactions, he was also getting used to the feeling of having two bodies together.

The clone threw a punch at him, Li Shiming’s figure flashed, but he was a step slow and got hit in the shoulder.

“You’ve held back some power, yet you are at the Qi Refining Peak, and I’m only at Qi Refining Fifth Level!” Li Shiming rubbed his sore shoulder and complained.

“Alright, I’ll also tone down to Qi Refining Fifth Level,” the clone replied with a laugh.

Even when suppressed to the Qi Refining Fifth Level strength, the clone still had the upper hand against Li Shiming.

Since Li Shiming and his clone practiced the same cultivation techniques, theoretically, their strength should be completely identical when at the same level.

However, considering that the clone’s ‘Sword Demon Secret Manual’ was much more profound than Li Shiming’s, and with a disparity in physical strength, the speed and power during combat were very different.

It could be said that the clone’s combat power at that moment equaled Li Shiming’s potential combat power at Qi Refining Peak, assuming, of course, Li Shiming did not learn any new techniques.

The sparring between the clone and Li Shiming not only increased Li Shiming’s combat experience but also fine-tuned the multitasking, giving him more insights into controlling two bodies in combat.

The only drawback was the issue with the clone’s Magic Artifact. The clone had not been able to use the previous Magic Artifact, but any issue solvable with Spirit Stones was not a real problem.
