Yan wrote the account in the assembly room, where the table could be seen from the open door. He left out the word saint. He also left out any claim that his result could protect a student who copied him.
The first paragraph said his cultivation backlash could reverse into a matching benefit while the art’s ordinary gain remained. He read it aloud once, listening for the way the words sounded to someone who had not felt the change himself. It was easy to make the claim sound grander than the experience. He crossed out “unlimited vitality” and wrote “added vitality.” The System had not made him limitless. It had reversed the personal cost and kept the gain the art normally provided.
The next listed Blood Ignition and Returning Spring Palm as separate examples. Blood Ignition’s intrinsic lifespan cost became added vitality for him. Returning Spring Palm healed living tissue and restored vitality, while its personal cost also became added life in his body. The account stated that other people’s costs, hostile attacks and broken machinery remained real.
Gu read the technical parts. “This sentence says every backlash reverses. Do you mean every intrinsic cost from a method you use?”
