A martial art, two icons, a double-yolk egg?!!
Feng Mu stared at the updated panel in front of him, lost in thought.
"Clearly, the Blood and Flesh Two Solutions version is just a modified version of the [Blood and Flesh Initial Solution True Skill], swapping the traditional muscle and bone framework for a body structure, resulting in a pseudo-martial art."
"While the genuine icon represents the true essence of martial arts based on the root bone."
"Ideally, when I practice the [Blood and Flesh Initial Solution True Skill], I should only produce the corresponding pseudo-martial art, with no chance of the original true skill appearing."
"However, the current scene shows two martial arts coexisting, doesn't this mean that the [Blood and Flesh Initial Solution True Skill] not only deceived itself but even tricked the system?"
Doubts in Feng Mu's heart sprouted like spring shoots, spreading more and more.
This situation was akin to installing a near-authentic pirated game on a phone, with such a high degree of realism that the background mistakenly sent data to the legitimate developer, making them mistakenly believe he had paid, and then erroneously granting him the official game to install.
Did I exploit a bug?!!
Feng Mu's eyes sparkled with a brilliant light, filled with uncontrollable excitement.
He wouldn't report this error to the system; on the contrary, Feng Mu believed that if he managed to exploit the bug with his abilities, it shouldn't be considered a bug, but rather the system's normal judgment mechanism.
Silently, Feng Mu voiced in his mind: "This is a mystery I've uncovered through my strength and wisdom, so I have the right to fully exploit it.The system shouldn't argue, let alone go back on its word, fine then, if you don't say anything, I'll take that as your tacit consent."
Feng Mu didn't know whether the system had "logical thinking" or would fix the bug.
But as a strategist villain, he would first act preemptively, taking the moral high ground and cloaking his behavior with a "legal" guise, assuming the system was mute.
"One martial art, two twin skills, which means that when I perform a set of moves, it outputs two sets of skills. Isn't this double power, double casting in the game?"
Feng Mu quickly considered in his mind how to leverage this mechanism, the only issue was whether the required upgrade points also doubled?
"Can I upgrade one skill, and the other twin skill will also simultaneously update?" Feng Mu's mind raced.
This is equivalent to a character in a pirated game getting upgraded, and the developer mistakenly believing it, synchronizing the character's level and stats to the official game.
It was still the same reasonable judgement mechanism.
Feng Mu thought it wasn't too far-fetched, after all, if there was one, there would be two.
Thinking about it, Feng Mu prepared to test it by adding some points, and then heard the phone buzzing non-stop.
It was an unknown number.
In past life TV dramas, too many good people died because they didn't answer the phone in time, so Feng Mu had a rule: if there was nothing unexpected, if he could answer it, he would.
Especially unknown numbers, they had to be answered in a timely manner, because it was hard to determine whether the other end of the line was human or ghost.
"Hello~" Feng Mu answered the call.
Feng Yuhuai's voice came from the other end of the line, and Feng Mu hung up and blacklisted the number after hearing just one word, spitting out the words "bad luck."
He continued adding points, hoping not to let Feng Yuhuai's bad luck affect today's good fortune.
Two minutes later, the experiment failed.
Feng Mu used the Seven Kills Fist as a sample to experiment, with discouraging results.
Whether adding points to the Seven Kills Fist: Blood and Flesh Two Solutions version, or adding points to the Seven Kills Fist, the other side showed no synchronized feedback.
Feng Mu, unconvinced, thought he hadn't added enough points, and upgraded the Seven Kills Fist: Blood and Flesh Two Solutions version to intermediate, and then quickly put the Seven Kills Fist to advanced.
[...You were incredibly talented, and in less than a month, you practiced the Seven Kills Fist (Blood and Flesh Two Solutions version) to the Minor Achievement state.]
[...You were limited by the shackles of root bone, and it took you a full three years to barely touch the Minor Achievement of the Seven Kills Fist.]
[You were undeterred, continued diligent cultivation, but progress was still slow, eventually taking eighteen years to practice the Seven Kills Fist to the Great Success realm.]
[Seven Kills Fist: Blood and Flesh Two Solutions version: Intermediate (1/2500)]
[Seven Kills Fist: Advanced (1/5000)]
Even such a crucial outcome as skill progression wasn't synchronized, indicating this loophole couldn't be exploited.
"It's alright then, at least the power wasn't too diminished, ultimately, I'm still profiting greatly," Feng Mu earnestly consoled himself, "Have to give the system a bit of face too, can't really treat it like a fool and bleed it dry."
Feng Mu abandoned the experiment and performed the Seven Kills Fist in the room. Whether he operated the Blood and Flesh Two Solutions version or the original version, the other would follow suit, performing with double combined power.
As for whether the combined power achieved double power, it depended on the level difference of the twin skills; if the levels were the same, it was almost double, if there was a level difference, it was between 1~2 times the middle value.
He used "almost" because Feng Mu noticed that at the same level, the power of the Blood and Flesh Two Solutions version was slightly lower than the original version.
Feng Mu could understand this, since pirated versions being a little worse than original versions was expected.
However, at that moment, suddenly a shocking guess flashed through Feng Mu's mind:
"The pirated version is called the Two Solutions version, not the Initial Solution version. Does that mean there could be a Three Solutions version, Four Solutions version, even Eight Solutions version, Nine Solutions version?"
His mind raced like a runaway horse:
"If the power of the pirated version increases with the improvement of [Blood and Flesh Initial Solution True Skill], will the pirated version eventually surpass the original?"
He muttered to himself, seemingly trying to convince himself:
"It's not impossible, after all, when [Blood and Flesh Initial Solution True Skill] is cultivated to an advanced stage, it's no longer simple cultivation, but true risk-taking. It's not disgraceful if the official can't compare."
Feng Mu couldn't help but gasp: "Then, when my [Blood and Flesh Initial Solution True Skill] reaches the Third State, will there be another Three Solutions version icon of the Seven Kills Fist?"
His imagination became increasingly extravagant: "At that point, it will no longer be two Seven Kills Fists but three, even more, eight, nine?"
Feng Mu was stunned by his own thoughts. If all this came true, then this bu... system's judgment mechanism would be wildly exhilarating.
"[Blood and Flesh Initial Solution True Skill] is truly a divine skill, it's a match made in heaven with the system, meant to remain inseparable forever!"
Feng Mu was infinitely fascinated, temporarily burying this discovery in his heart, waiting for the day the [Blood and Flesh Initial Solution True Skill] reached the Third State to verify it.
Additionally, Feng Mu discovered that the difficulty of cultivating the Seven Kills Fist: Blood and Flesh Two Solutions version and the Seven Kills Fist was worlds apart.
Cultivating the Seven Kills Fist: Blood and Flesh Two Solutions version was rapid progress.
Cultivating the Seven Kills Fist was an old horse in the stable, only aspiring to a thousand miles.
"Both were cultivated to Minor Achievement, one took one month and the other took three years. This is the power of [Blood and Flesh Initial Solution True Skill]."
Feng Mu gained a more profound understanding of his true and false aptitudes, muttering to himself,
"The gap is tens of times large, no wonder people would choose the evil path at all costs. Such temptation truly makes it difficult for people to resist, risking life and limb."
Feng Mu slightly narrowed his eyes, quickly calculating in his mind and coming to a clear conclusion: "Investing points in the original version is undoubtedly the highest cost-effectiveness. As for the Blood and Flesh version's pseudo-martial art, if the initial progress is smooth, I am fully capable of cultivating it myself."
With the expansion of the skill library, Feng Mu reluctantly discovered a new problem, point allocation started to become insufficient, and he must distribute them more rationally to ensure every drop of point yield the maximum effect.
"After all, it's about poverty."
Feng Mu sighed, silently complaining to himself:
"Only consuming without earning, sitting around consuming resources isn't practical. When will the experience pack from the Calamity Corpse Sect appear, this is driving me crazy. I hope the senior brothers and sisters can lend a hand, otherwise little junior brother is really going to starve to death."
