Twenty minutes later, the muscular genie vanished.
There were a total of four branches and a complete set. Although it was completed, it was very perfunctory and didn't do well at all. It was merely going through the motions.
"System, you wouldn't be messing with me, right?"
Sun Mo doubted.
"Let me repeat it again. The rewards issued by the system are definitely worth it. If you can't unleash the effects, it's your problem."
The system was unhappy. "You are clearly the one who is stupid, alright? A second-level spirit rune can summon a muscular genie to give you an ancient massage. What are you unhappy about? "
Even if he went to the blind massage parlors by the roadside, eight out of ten of them were there to swindle people. Only the remaining one would have a skilled old masseur.
"Ziqi, I'll have to trouble you. Don't get up first!"
Sun Mo tore open another spirit rune. This time around, he chose one with a spirit qi tornado. It was at least a fifth-level spirit qi tornado.
The spirit qi was turbulent and condensed into a muscular genie. It glanced around and after confirming its target, it floated to Li Ziqi's side and started to massage.
Sun Mo heaved a sigh of relief. He understood that the higher the grade of the spirit rune, the higher the intelligence of the muscular genie and the better the massage technique.
Of course, although the massage effect of a low-grade muscular genie would be weaker, it was better than nothing. Moreover, the muscles and nerves wouldn't be damaged because of the massage.
Sun Mo used ten Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands spirit runes in one go to conduct tests and collect data.
He discovered that even the best seventh-level spirit rune he had summoned wasn't bad. However, it clearly wasn't as amazing as the genie he summoned when massaging himself.
At the very least, the genie had its own preferences and would reject massaging ladies.
"Teacher, why would the muscular genie summoned by this spirit rune use the Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands?"
Li Ziqi's face was filled with shock. She thought of a possibility. "Teacher, did you design a spirit rune yourself?"
"No!"
Sun Mo denied it. Although there was no one else in this world who would do it, he wouldn't want such vanity.
"But..."
Li Ziqi frowned. The Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands was a peerless-grade saint-tier massage technique unique to Sun Mo. Other than him, who else could achieve this level?
"System, is this spirit rune design of yours perfect?"
Sun Mo returned to his study and opened a spirit rune. He started to analyze it, wanting to optimize it. If he followed this design, the success rate of drawing a peak-grade spirit rune would be too low. Not only would it be a waste of time, but the low-grade spirit rune's effect would be too bad.
"Almost perfect!"
The System teased, "What? You want to modify it? We can give it a try! "
Although it said that, the system snorted in disdain. The word 'almost' was just a humble way of saying it. After all, it had spent more than an hour to design this after conducting tens of millions of calculations.
"Oh!"
Sun Mo sank into contemplation. He took the spirit rune brush and started to draw.
"Teacher, you still dare to say that this wasn't designed by you?"
Li Ziqi's lips twitched. Sun Mo was clearly modifying the spirit rune. However, wasn't this spirit rune a little too complicated?
One must know that Li Ziqi had a photographic memory, but it was still very taxing for her to memorize things quickly. Hence, she started to think about the design of this spirit rune.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The crickets chirped noisily as they jumped onto the swing in the back garden. Then, they jumped into the flowering shrubs.
One day and one night passed.
Lu Zhiruo carried a lunchbox and came to deliver breakfast to Sun Mo. In the end, the moment she entered the study, she was stunned. The mahogany study table and the floor were littered with used spirit rune papers.
The papaya girl picked one up and glanced at it. She immediately felt her head spinning. What was this drawing? It was so complicated!
Sun Mo sat on the ground and was in deep thought. Not far away, Li Ziqi was drawing the spirit rune. When the papaya girl saw that they were so focused, she didn't disturb them and left the study.
After waiting for a while, it was already noon.
"Teacher, it's time to eat!"
Lu Zhiruo's heart ached. Her teacher actually had dark circles under his eyes. How many days and nights had it been since he last slept?
The papaya girl called out thrice, but Sun Mo had no reaction at all.
"Sun Mo, don't waste your energy. The spirit rune I designed is perfect. You..."
Before the system finished speaking, Sun Mo suddenly called out with an excited look on his face.
"I understand!"
Sun Mo grabbed the spirit rune paper. After dipping the brush in ink, he started to draw. Because he had a train of thought, his drawing was very smooth and natural.
15 minutes later, the last stroke landed. With a boom, the spirit qi in the villa's surroundings gushed over, forming a spirit tornado that gushed into the spirit rune.
"This..."
The system was astonished.
Sun Mo's hands didn't stop. He took another spirit rune paper and continued to draw.
An hour passed, and another three spirit runes were completed. They were lined up in a row and placed before Sun Mo. His eyes were wide open as he inspected them while calling out.
"Zhiruo!"
The papaya girl was like a little pekingese that heard its owner's command. She immediately jogged over. "Teacher!"
"Lie down!"
Sun Mo instructed.
"Oh!"
The papaya girl immediately lay down. Her limbs were stretched taut like a frozen salted fish.
"Relax!"
As Sun Mo spoke, he tore the spirit rune paper apart.
Boom!
Spirit qi gathered and flashed in golden light, forming a muscular guy with a purple headscarf on its head. Its hands curled up and after showing off its muscles, it started to massage the papaya girl.
The muscleforge technique was activated.
The massage lasted for 15 minutes. The technique was in place and the strength was moderate. It was so comfortable that the papaya girl involuntarily let out meows.
"This..."
The system was stunned.
After the muscleforge technique was completed, the muscular guy vanished. Sun Mo immediately tore another spirit rune paper apart.
Boom!
A new muscular guy was formed. This time around, it used the circulation technique!
After the four newly drawn spirit runes were used up, Sun Mo heaved a sigh of relief. He sat on the chair and revealed an expression of enlightenment.
"You... you actually tore apart my spirit runes?"
The system stuttered a little. (I know that you have outstanding talent in the study of spirit runes, but I didn't expect you to be so strong to this extent.)
"System, it's true that the calculation ability of artificial intelligence is unrivalled, but do you know its weakness?"
Sun Mo asked.
"What is it?"
The system was curious.
"It's logic!"
Sun Mo smiled. "Their way of thinking isn't as imaginative as that of intelligent lifeforms. Their thinking is very logical. Look at this design. Although it looks complicated and cryptic, as long as you understand the concept behind it, everything will become simple."
"..."
The system was speechless.
"Why does the genie summoned using spirit runes have no spirituality? Why is it like a puppet? Because you placed the focus of the design on strengthening the effects of the four branches of the massage technique. When you connect them together, it isn't smooth enough. This caused the genie's movements to be considered passable during the massage, but after changing the branches, its movements would become increasingly stiff. "
This was the result of Sun Mo's observation. The first thing he wanted to do was to optimize the connection process, but he failed. After all, the spirit runes designed by the system were too complicated. If he changed a little, it might cause other areas to fail.
In the end, Sun Mo had no choice but to tear it apart.
"You actually understood the concept behind this spirit rune?"
The system was surprised. There was no doubt that Sun Mo could understand it, but it was too bewildering for him to understand it so quickly.
"I understand it!"
Li Ziqi, who was at the side, suddenly called out.
"You understand it as well?"
The system jumped in fright.
"This spirit rune is formed from four parts. After it's activated, each part will take effect in sequence, completing the entire massage process!"
After Li Ziqi spoke, she looked at Sun Mo.
"Completely correct!"
Sun Mo flashed a thumbs up, sighing in admiration in his heart. He could understand it because he had grasped the grandmaster-grade Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands Spirit Rune Drawing Technique. However, Li Ziqi purely relied on her intellect to understand it.
The so-called geniuses were nothing more than this.
"Are all of you f * cking monsters?"
The system was so shocked that it started to curse.
"System, this design of yours is really amazing!"
Sun Mo was incomparably impressed. In any case, given his current capabilities, he had no way to optimize this design and could only split it apart. He didn't expect the effect to be so good.
This was like doing simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. There were no problems, but if it was a combination of four, it wouldn't work.
"Who said that? You guys are the amazing ones!"
The system sighed ruefully. As expected, the intelligence of humans was filled with endless possibilities.
What Sun Mo and Li Ziqi did was similar to understanding why 1 + 1 equals 2. From the root, they analyzed the spirit runes they designed.
As for ordinary people, they knew that 1 + 1 equals 2. Using this as the foundation, they could add and subtract. But if you asked them why 1 + 1 equals 2, no one would know.
This proof process was very complicated.
To put it simply, Sun Mo and Li Ziqi were geniuses who could deduce a new theorem.
"Spirit runes are excellent, but it's too difficult to draw!"
Sun Mo sighed ruefully. Just this design alone, those students who studied spirit runes could forget about drawing it if they didn't have five to six years of accumulation. It was already not bad if they could understand it.
"Wanting to reproduce the effect of a peerless-grade saint-tier cultivation art is just so difficult. So, don't give me such a difficult problem in the future!"
The system persuaded. This was really torture.
"I'll stop when I'm done."
Sun Mo understood.
Ding!
"Congratulations on analyzing the Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands Spirit Rune. Special reward. Your proficiency index has increased by one level, reaching the ancestor-grade!"
The system congratulated.
"This works too?"
Sun Mo was joyful. He didn't expect there to be an unexpected joy.
"Sun Mo, you are very talented in this subject. Work hard. You will definitely be able to become the number one spirit rune ancestor in the Nine Provinces!"
The system encouraged.
"Not interested!"
Sun Mo shook his head.
"You..."
The system was so angry that it almost coughed up blood.
"Teacher, you are so impressive!"
Li Ziqi looked at Sun Mo, her eyes filled with worship. Her teacher had actually recreated the Ancient Dragon Capturing Hands using spirit runes. This... this was simply a domain that only spirit rune ancestors could reach!
The little sunny egg dared to say that Sun Mo's attainment in the field of spirit runes was already in the top three in Jinling, no, Tang Country.
Ding!
Favorable impression points from Li Ziqi + 1,000. Reverence (14161/100000).
"Ziqi, you've misunderstood. I really didn't design it."
Sun Mo jumped in fright when he saw the favorable impression points contributed by the little sunny egg. He hurriedly explained.
"I understand. Teacher doesn't want to be famous!"
Li Ziqi expressed her understanding. If one became famous, there would be many disputes. Right now, her teacher didn't have any fame or status. If trouble arose, he would definitely not be able to resolve it. In the future, when he had a higher status, he would announce it to the public. No one would dare to doubt him then.
"Alright, I've been tired for a few days. Let's take a break today!"
Sun Mo scratched his head and prepared to take a bath. He hadn't left the study for a few days and his body was starting to stink.
"Teacher, why don't we go to the battle hall to watch the fights? Today is the battle hall's examination. Qi Shengjia has to go up on stage! "
Lu Zhiruo raised her hand and suggested.
