Chapter 432: Gathering Ideas

Everyone felt their minds were blown; this reversal was simply brilliant.

"Give a seat to the prodigy!"

"It's a bit unsettling, but inexplicably cool!"

"It is pretty cool, mainly because this bear is just too imposing. Indeed, only Big Bear and Little Bear can fight Bald Superman! Truly powerful!"

"This is practically Xiong Ba! Wielding the Dragon Vein longsword! (Fung Wan - The Storm Riders)"

"Mainly that sword—it's so beautiful and dazzling, transforming the spine into a peerless, double-edged white jade longsword..."

"Awesome! A headless sword immortal, forming sword seals with both hands to control a distant flying sword, striking enemies from a thousand miles away—just thinking about it gives me a strange thrill! I truly suspect the inspiration came from a voodoo master!"

Discussions erupted like a flood.

As expected from "Scare You To Death Three Thousand!"

He had originally aimed to be a professional prankster and scare artist, but this current system, full of personal flair, is basically a horror film!!

"Plug," "bring your head to see me" – they felt they could never look at these words the same way again. This person's outrageous ideas were endless.

Online discussions were buzzing with excitement. Meanwhile, in his living room, Xu Zhi, who had just broken through to the Sixth-tier Quasi-Emperor and entered the Seventh-tier Heavenly Emperor realm, was silently consolidating his cultivation and sensing the energy within his body. At this moment, he also saw the scene on his phone and was somewhat dumbfounded and helpless.

Honestly, this person... has quite a flamboyant style!

He had a feeling before that this person was up to something, but he never imagined such terrifying creativity – an unconstrained, imaginative sword cultivator.

He also hadn't realized that while he was busy with Caroline and Emperor Sakura's matters, this person wasn't idle behind the scenes, but was actively brewing something.

"However, perhaps it will bring some fresh storms to that new world..."

A faint smile appeared on Xu Zhi's lips.

After all, the old era's civilization had ended. The departure of the Ishtar people and Emperor Sakura had left the era in a state of stagnation. Now, injecting some new systems and budding hopes would also bring a different kind of vibrancy to the entire world.

At this moment, the other big figures were also surprised, and they successively showed goodwill, feeling that this 'brother' had a promising future!

Autumn Mountain Speed: "Little brother, your driving style is a bit like mine!"

Cute Girl Evolves into Dragon: "Little brother, your 'hiding and developing' style is a bit like mine!"

System Issuer was a bit at a loss for words: "You... your diligent posture is very much like mine!"

The atmosphere instantly became harmonious and pleasant.

The bystanders instantly felt a "toothache" – were these big figures actually praising him?

But they really did express their stylistic strengths. As for the first two... *cringe*. Only System Issuer, who had just joined, was a relatively proper girl, embodying diligence, passion, and hard work... It's just that her aesthetic sense was a bit twisted; she believed in "girls being strong" to the point of making a group of cute, adorable girls train muscles! It was utterly insane!

Xia Naiming, however, found it amusing. "The atmosphere among these big figures is very harmonious. After all, even though each has their own talent, our shared baldness and 'hardcore' nature give us common ground."

Xia Naiming continued speaking, beginning his demonstration:

"Did you think it was just about scaring people? This contains the most logical design. As I said before, these are three burst skills: providing fuel, burning fuel, and using the sword for explosive output, all in one smooth motion! Instant assassination! It pushes the extreme characteristics of the Shushan lineage to their peak!"

"Secondly, this is the highest form of human-sword unity: using a person as the sword!"

Screenshot.

He posted an image.

It was a hastily drawn pencil sketch, depicting a longsword with a scabbard. Oddly, the scabbard had hands and feet, as if the sword had been personified and cartoonified.

In short, it looked like a walking scabbard with hands and feet, and the longsword was stored inside this scabbard.

Xia Naiming said, "Look, doesn't this bear resemble this structure? This is true human-sword unity: separating the person, with one part becoming the sword, and the scabbard being the flesh and limbs."

Everyone gasped. It made a lot of sense, but delivered so seriously, it felt like profound nonsense.

This person is crazy.

Xia Naiming chuckled, "Thirdly, look at this screenshot: the bone spine sword has been forged into a sharp, snow-white blade. The method is similar to the previous Shushan sword immortals, but instead of an arm in the forge, it's a spine..."

"It's equivalent to transforming oneself into a true humanoid weapon!"

"Of course, pulling out one's spine to become a headless blacksmith, wielding a hammer outside a furnace for forging—only zombies capable of unlocking their genetic code and possessing immense determination could be so exaggerated. Ordinary people would have died long ago. This is a system only they can cultivate!"

Everyone was somewhat astonished.

Upon hearing it... it truly seemed quite perfect.

Screenshot.

Xia Naiming then released another screenshot, showing the bear's skeletal structure.

"Look, the spine becomes a sword, and the surrounding ribs are re-forged into a ring, perfectly sheathing and protecting it. Doesn't it look like a sword stand?"

Honestly, it really did look like one at first glance.

The netizens were completely dumbfounded. This person... is so audacious.

It wasn't just his words that were flamboyant, but his serious explanations, and the invisible audacity that emerged from his outrageous ideas.

Many murmured, resting their chins on their hands: "This is an almost unimaginable understated flamboyance."

Xia Naiming continued, "Hiding the sword within the body also has a major advantage: it can use one's own flesh and blood aura to conceal the sword's presence... Moreover, this white bone sword can absorb the opponent's flesh, blood, and energy, essentially 'killing to nourish the sword.'"

"It's like transforming oneself into a sword. The body is no longer the vital point; the sword part is. As for its position, the magic core is perfectly embedded right at the top of the hilt."

Everyone immediately understood, and their "toothaches" returned with full force.

This "Scare You To Death Three Thousand" not only wanted to scare them but also meticulously explained the rationale behind his terrifying creations.

"Brilliant!"

"Big shot, your analysis is impeccable; you've developed an incredibly powerful system!"

"Forging oneself into a humanoid walking sword!"

"It's like Li Xunhuan's Flying Dagger—no one knows where his sword is hidden, because everyone who has seen it is dead! (Terrifying)"

Xia Naiming smiled.

He released this developed bone-sword cultivation system to brainstorm ideas and get everyone's help in perfecting it. After all, for a system to quickly become complete, one person isn't enough; it requires countless insights. Moreover, he had a major issue he wanted to solicit opinions on.

Xia Naiming said, "This system has a thousand benefits, but its only drawback is that I cannot cultivate it!"

Everyone: "..."

They realized that a balloon fish has no magic core and, as a boneless mollusk, no spine either.

Xia Naiming continued, "It's worth mentioning that Du Xue is already a Heavenly Emperor and is currently in seclusion. Perhaps soon, she will step through the threshold of godhood. We are already collecting energy. I'm hesitating whether to let my wife become so unsettling by cultivating the path I've pioneered. What do you all think?"

He just straight-up called her his wife?

Everyone was speechless.

However, Du Xue was naturally extremely gifted.

She had been at the peak of the Sixth-tier a long time ago. Now that the era of Emperor Great Joy had passed, reaching the Seventh-tier was normal. After all, even a certain "slacker" had become a Sixth-tier Quasi-Emperor. In fact, for Du Xue, it was even a bit slow; look at the first echelon—many have already achieved godhood. After all, this world currently doesn't lack energy for ascension; as long as one reaches the required cultivation realm, there are plenty of third and fourth-tier demonic beasts available.

This was likely due to Xia Naiming's "play-it-safe and develop" mentality, which also affected Du Xue. He was afraid something would happen to her and didn't let her take risks. Otherwise, with her talent, if she had gone out to experience and battle, enduring a few deaths, she would probably already be among the peak powerhouses of this era, or even have achieved godhood.

"I get it. After all that, you just don't want your wife to become so unsettling!"

"Bro! You're even more unsettling yourself, aren't you? A balloon fish with a head-sword, perfect! (dog emoji)"

Of course, someone seriously suggested, "Detaching the head is indeed quite unsettling; it's practically turning your wife into Sadako. How about only forging the spine instead? Just a segment of the spine, forming sword seals, flying with the sword, transforming into a streak of light to charge and kill everywhere."

This was a good suggestion, and it didn't have the drawback of limb mutilation, allowing it to return to the body's core for nourishment at any time. But then someone asked, "Then where would the white bone sword emerge from? From her backside, perhaps?"

"I think that could work too, I just worry that when she squats to poop, the sword might accidentally fall into the pit (manual dog emoji)."

Xia Naiming scrolled through the comments, tears streaming down his face. "Your serious consideration and help in finding solutions touch me deeply, but could you please not be so... creative?"

However, one comment did enlighten him:

"It's feasible to only use the bone sword without the hilt above the neck. She could tilt her head back, and it would fly out from her neck. After it flies out, she could put her head back on, just like a thermos with a twist-off lid holding a fried dough stick."

What kind of god-tier metaphor is that?

Xia Naiming immediately found himself caught between laughter and tears.

However, this indeed gave him an epiphany. While not carrying the magic core would slightly reduce combat power, it made him feel better internally, and he believed Du Xue could reluctantly accept it. The advantage of not carrying the magic core was that although the combat power was lower, it wasn't as extreme, preventing instant death if the sword were destroyed.
