Dreamscape.
Lu Sheng moved through the dilapidated streets of Base 1359.
Wherever he passed, the mindless, wandering zombies dropped one after another, quickly disintegrating into dust.
Streams of black smoke, like fledgling swallows returning to their nests, surged into Lu Sheng's body.
"Whew!"
Lu Sheng came to a stop, gazing at the now-empty street behind him. He casually found a spot to sit down and rest.
Lately, he had started consciously clearing out Base 1359.
He would first eliminate the weaker zombies, leaving the stronger, tougher ones to deal with later.
So far, this cleanup effort had only reached two streets.
"I've absorbed too much... need time to digest it all..."
In the process, Lu Sheng had absorbed an overwhelming amount of memory fragments—some useful, some not.
These fragments flooded into his mind all at once, creating an intense swelling sensation in his brain.
Lu Sheng closed his eyes and began to practice the Crystal Meditation.
In his mind, a humanoid figure sculpted entirely from crystal was gradually taking shape.
Only its feet remained unfinished.
As Lu Sheng continued his visualization, the figure's outline became increasingly distinct and defined.
Finally...
A complete crystalline humanoid appeared within Lu Sheng's mind.
Inside the figure, however, was a dense collection of black and gray impurities.
So densely packed that the entire figure appeared nearly pitch-black.
"Huff—inhale—huff—exhale—"
Lu Sheng's chest rose and fell, following the rhythm of Nature's Pulse Breathing.
Strangely, the crystal figure in his mind seemed to mirror his breathing, its chest heaving in sync with his own.
With every breath the figure took, the black impurities inside it were gradually expelled.
During this process, Lu Sheng could clearly feel refreshing currents of clarity coursing through his mind.
Many of the previously absorbed, but useless memories were now being purged in large quantities.
As for the valuable ones—insights into the Martial Way, techniques, and combat experience—
They were being carefully sorted and clarified.
Movement techniques, fist techniques, leg techniques, palm strikes, spear techniques, swordsmanship...
Lu Sheng had slain far too many zombies and in doing so had inherited a vast array of martial arts techniques.
Now, thanks to this purification, all these skills were being steadily and swiftly elevated.
To use a metaphor—though Lu Sheng had previously received these martial legacies through memory fragments,
They had merely been stored in his brain, jumbled together in disorder.
Whenever he needed a technique, he had to rummage through the mess to find it.
But now, his mind had begun organizing these memories—categorizing, refining, and helping his body absorb and internalize them.
If the countless memories he'd gained in the Dreamscape were an inheritance, then only now—
Had Lu Sheng truly begun to claim that inheritance.
Every martial artist chose their own cultivation path based on personal talent and preference.
Some specialized in leg techniques, others in fists, and some in weapons...
It was nearly impossible for anyone to master all martial disciplines simultaneously—few even attempted more than a couple.
After all, human strength is finite. How could one person possibly become a master of everything?
But now, an exception had appeared.
Lu Sheng—who could inherit others' martial skills through memory absorption—was taking his first steps toward an unprecedented path.
Perhaps, one day, humanity would witness the rise of someone who had mastered all forms of martial arts.
And that person—was Lu Sheng!
"I stand upon the shoulders of countless others. Complete in every way, flawless and all-encompassing—this is my Martial Way."
"The Perfect Martial Way!"
Lu Sheng stared at the crystal humanoid in his mind—still breathing, still growing clearer—and silently thought to himself:
"So this is the correct way to unlock the potential of the Crystal Meditation."
When the crystal figure had become fully purified, the memories in Lu Sheng's mind were completely sorted.
"Incredible..."
Lu Sheng savored the changes within himself, unable to suppress his awe.
That remark of "incredible" was directed at himself.
Now that all the memories had been organized, Lu Sheng possessed over a dozen martial techniques that had reached the bottleneck stage—including leg arts, palm techniques, finger strikes, spearplay, swordsmanship, and blade work...
Beyond the bottleneck, two techniques had already surpassed the threshold—his movement technique and fist technique.
Among them, his mastery of fist technique was already nearing the next realm entirely.
"Back during the Martial Assessment, I was already capable of exceeding the Vitality Index by ten times in combat power. Now that my Starforge power has pushed to six times its strength, if my fist technique breaks through further... just how much will my combat power explode?!"
This memory purification had been a massive breakthrough for Lu Sheng.
It had elevated his capabilities in every area—his overall strength had surged beyond measure.
What's more, with his memories now fully sorted, Lu Sheng's mind felt noticeably sharper.
His ability to process thoughts, absorb new knowledge, and analyze had all improved significantly.
He could even feel certain subtle changes occurring in his physical body...
