On the other side, before arranging the escort for the Redstone Block, Zhao Fangxu did not forget his agreement with Ian. He quickly mobilized his resources, using his authority as the Chairman of Every Delivery to open a classified archive that even high-level executives rarely accessed. Electronic locks were disengaged one after another, and several outcasts specifically responsible for archive preservation were called in to assist.
"Organize every cultivation technique and secret manual, regardless of grade or rank," Zhao Fangxu said with a solemn expression, his voice low but commanding. "Ensure not a single one is missed. This is a top-priority mission."
The outcasts were visibly shocked by the command, but under Zhao Fangxu's insistence, they quickly began their work. In less than half an hour, a complete set of secret manuals was ready, packed into a specially reinforced black metal crate.
This was one of the items traded during Ian's late-night secret discussion with him.
As it turned out, after dealing with the All-Encompassing Heaven Four Madmen and stirring up half of the outcast world, the progress bar for collecting Interdimensional Energy in this world had finally filled up. Ian submerged his consciousness into the Transmutation Tablet, and with a light flick of his will, the interface expanded before him.
He then chose to draw a mod. The Transmutation Tablet shimmered with flowing golden light, and new mods gradually appeared before his eyes.
[Congratulations! You have obtained the Epic Fight Mod.] [Congratulations! You have obtained the Epic Fight - Kung Fu Expansion Mod.]
The original Epic Fight mod primarily modified the combat animations within Minecraft to make them more cinematic and added several stylized new weapons. It was highly popular among players for its fluid and cool combat design. The subsequent Kung Fu Expansion mod built upon this by integrating more stances and elements of traditional martial arts, adding an Eastern flair to the combat.
If it were merely about changing combat animations, it wouldn't mean much to the current Ian. What truly surprised him was that after the mod descended into the real world, its functions had been enhanced. It was no longer a simple animation replacement; the mod now possessed the ability to absorb, analyze, fuse, and even complete various real-world "Kung Fu."
Even though the cultivation techniques of this current world offered almost negligible improvements to his main body's strength, the potential demonstrated by this mod was nothing short of terrifying.
Ian had tested it personally; the definition of "Kung Fu" was extremely broad, and its compatibility was staggering. Whether it was common external arts like the Golden Bell Shield or Iron Cloth, or basic Chakra Refinement from other worlds, or even Magnetic Field Strength systems—and even Immortal Arts involving laws and Dao rhymes from cultivation systems—all were judged as "Kung Fu" by this mod and could be incorporated into its scope of absorption and analysis.
Since he possessed such a heaven-defying mod, and the Under One Person world happened to have a vast variety of cultivation systems, it was perfect for building a foundation. Although the upper limit of individual power in this world wasn't high—even the top-tier outcasts likely couldn't destroy a city—their techniques, the concept of dual cultivation of mind and body, and the ingenious ideas behind the Eight Supreme Skills were all quite interesting, containing significant potential and research value.
It was based on this that Ian requested all the cultivation data collected by the government from Zhao Fangxu. In exchange, he provided the Redstone Block—an infinite energy source capable of subverting the modern world's structure, which no power on earth could refuse.
Zhao Fangxu, of course, agreed to the trade wholeheartedly. He even proactively offered to use national power to help Ian collect more lost or secret techniques. Naturally, he also admitted that for truly powerful heritages, such as the whereabouts of certain Eight Supreme Skills, even the government wasn't entirely clear. Some powerful techniques weren't even recorded in text or diagrams, making them extremely difficult to find.
However, Ian didn't mind. He never expected the government to help him gather every single top-tier technique from the start. What the government provided was merely meant to expand the basic database for the "Epic Fight Mod." As for those truly powerful techniques hidden in the shadows, he would naturally go and find them himself.
Not long after, personnel dispatched by Zhao Fangxu delivered a massive amount of organized cultivation data to the location Ian specified. Facing a crate full of ancient texts, scrolls, rubbings, and even some pre-scanned digital documents, Ian gave a wave of his hand and imported them all into the mod.
[Ding... Unknown energy system information detected.] [Beginning absorption.] [Epic Fight Mod is currently analyzing.]
Within his mind, the interface of the Epic Fight mod changed. Countless streams of information flooded in: basic physical arts, internal martial arts, Daoyin techniques, talisman basics, and more. These cultivation methods, widely circulated in this world, were rapidly absorbed by the mod. They were broken down into the most fundamental principles of energy circulation, force-application techniques, and mental guidance methods.
Similarities between different techniques were refined and categorized. Contradictory parts were analyzed and optimized, and the potential of the techniques was stimulated. These appeared to be the government's more core materials, including the heritage techniques of some outcast families; though not top-tier, they were far better than the basics.
[Absorption and processing complete. Beginning technique completion.] [Detected user-inputted Ultimate Infinite Qi.] [Detected massive cultivation systems from the current world.] [Detected classic literary information import.] [Completion in progress, using Ultimate Infinite Qi as the core and combining existing information.]
Ian felt a surge of power diffuse from the mod, carrying a distinct "Martial Dao" intent. The basic principles of Xingyi Quan and Bagua Zhang were rapidly integrated. Their force-delivery methods, power trajectories, and body-tempering techniques were combined with the underlying logic of Ultimate Infinite Qi, and then corrected, optimized, and elevated.
Methods that could originally only produce hard Qigong, internal strength, or Qi began to evolve toward a grander, more exaggerated direction. Classic works such as the Huangji Jingshi and the Dharma Sutra provided philosophical and spiritual support for the completion. The worldviews they contained and their understanding of life and the universe produced a wonderful resonance with the techniques from the Sea Tiger world.
[Completion progress: 10%... 30%...]
The growth of the progress bar was relatively slow, representing the complexity of this completion. The mod was not simply copying and pasting; it was performing a cross-world system fusion and upgrade after understanding the underlying rules of both worlds. The focus of techniques from the Sea Tiger world and the Under One Person world were completely different. Fusing them would yield unpredictable results.
[Completion progress: 99%] [Completion finished.] [Congratulations, Player! The Epic Fight Mod has completed the cultivation techniques of the Magnetic Field Martial God world, optimizing them based on the Martial Dao rules of the current world.]
