Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Chapter 466: Perfect

Upon seeing the elixir in the light cluster, Chen Fei didn’t immediately approach. He swiftly moved forward, picked up the refined iron longbow from the ground, and continued to draw and shoot arrows, taking down the approaching soldiers one by one.

At this moment, even though Chen Fei’s cultivation was still at the Visceral Tempering realm, the arrows he shot, under electromagnetic acceleration, were much more powerful than the attacks of ordinary practitioners at this level.

Although he hadn’t reached the level of the Aperture Tempering realm yet, it was an effortless task to kill these soldiers who were merely at the Bone Tempering and Marrow Tempering realm. Although there were still many remaining soldiers, in just a moment, there was no one left in front of Chen Fei.

This was the world of martial artists, where differences in strength made the number of people sometimes lose its significance.

Casually slinging the longbow behind him, Chen Fei began to pick up the fallen scrolls and those light clusters. Of course, the most important item was the elixir that the leader had just dropped.

“The Body Release Elixir?”

Sensing the information transmitted by the light cluster, Chen Fei’s expression slightly changed. This was an elixir that could be taken out of the Haiyue Cave, and its function was to strengthen the physique.

The physique of a martial artist had always been naturally tempered by elemental energy. With the improvement of their martial cultivation, their physique would also continuously strengthen.

The majority of cultivation techniques primarily focused on elemental energy. However, there were also some sect cultivation techniques that emphasized cultivating the physique, allowing the physique to grow alongside elemental energy, ultimately achieving greater combat power.

Such a Body Release Elixir was an invaluable treasure for those martial artists who were tempering their physique. However, for Chen Fei, its effects were almost negligible.

Chen Fei’s physique had likely already reached the level of a Combined Aperture Tempering realm powerhouse, and it was not something this elixir could further enhance.

However, even though Chen Fei wouldn’t use it himself, he could sell it to a shop after leaving the Haiyue Cave, and he should be able to obtain a good amount of elemental stones.

Recently, Chen Fei had been planning to save up some elemental stones to exchange for high-grade elemental stones, mainly for the Dragon-Elephant Induction Point within his body.

Since the Dragon-Elephant Induction Point could forcibly enhance the power of the physique through heavenly materials and earthly treasures, Chen Fei naturally couldn’t miss out on such a characteristic.

Given the current unknown availability of things that the Dragon-Elephant Induction Point could absorb, having high-grade elemental stones with pure elemental energy was a direction for Chen Fei.

However, high-grade elemental stones were extremely valuable, and with Chen Fei’s current wealth and cultivation, it would likely take a considerable amount of time to accumulate one high-grade elemental stone.

Unless Chen Fei broke through to the Combined Aperture Tempering realm and the methods and avenues for obtaining elemental stones changed, then high-grade elemental stones, while still valuable, might not be out of reach in a short amount of time.

If it turned out afterward that high-grade elemental stones also didn’t work, then Chen Fei wouldn’t incur any losses. After all, the inherent value of elemental stones was there; they were a form of currency in themselves.

Chen Fei casually stashed the Body Release Elixir into his sleeve and didn’t continue searching for other soldiers. Instead, he began to simplify the new cultivation techniques that had appeared in his mind one by one.

Not every soldier dropped items, and in the camp of dozens of people, Chen Fei ultimately obtained five scrolls and eight proficiency light clusters.

These proficiency light clusters could be absorbed and, according to one’s intention, enhanced onto the learned cultivation techniques.

Chen Fei tried to enhance the light clusters through the Spirit Suppression of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique, but there was no response. It was apparent that these light clusters could only be enhanced onto the cultivation techniques that had appeared within the Haiyue Cave.

Although the Haiyue Cave was a spiritual treasure, its power was indeed not limitless. The cultivation techniques that appeared within the cave mansion had evidently been analyzed by the cave mansion itself, which was why they could directly enhance the proficiency of those techniques.

As for the Spirit Suppression of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique, they were not part of the Haiyue Cave’s data, so there was no way to enhance them.

Chen Fei looked at the dozen or so cultivation techniques flashing in his mind and chose one called the “Thunderous Fist.” He directly boosted its proficiency.

The principles of this Thunderous Fist technique bore a striking resemblance to the Great Thunder Sword technique of the Primordial Sword Sect.

Although the specific methods of cultivation were quite different, when viewed from a higher perspective, there were similarities between the two in certain aspects.

It was precisely because Chen Fei had learned this Thunderous Fist that he began to employ electromagnetic acceleration.

In this trial of the Haiyue Cave, because the power of the panels had not been sealed for him, Chen Fei had gained a much higher starting point compared to others.

However, he was still within the Haiyue Cave at this moment, and there were many things that Chen Fei did not dare to do excessively.

Many of the techniques he had just displayed, as they were variations of ordinary techniques, didn’t draw much attention. The spiritual treasure, the Haiyue Cave, would not meticulously scrutinize every trial participant within its established rules.

However, if Chen Fei were to exhibit obviously excessive power, it could become dangerous.

Chen Fei didn’t want to test the limits of the spiritual treasure; there was no need, and it was very risky.

The electromagnetic cannon technique he had just used could be considered a creation of his own, and by learning the Thunderous Fist, he could flexibly utilize the power of thunder and lightning to modify the technique, making it appear entirely reasonable.

Thus, at this moment, Chen Fei directly chose the Thunderous Fist, making his actions seem more reasonable.

Perhaps the Haiyue Cave, as a spiritual treasure, didn’t even pay attention to Chen Fei’s various actions, but there were certain things that Chen Fei himself felt compelled to do.ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelenglish.net . (ꜰ)ire.ɴet

As various insights about the Thunderous Fist appeared in his mind, a faint electric light began to flicker on Chen Fei’s palms.

After a moment, the electric light on Chen Fei’s palms gradually faded, and he opened his eyes, lost in thought. This complete Thunderous Fist technique was likely an extremely advanced Aperture Tempering realm cultivation technique, much more refined than the Great Thunder Sword technique.

However, Chen Fei’s true cultivation had already reached the pinnacle of the Aperture Tempering realm, so as advanced as this Thunderous Fist was, its assistance to Chen Fei was extremely limited.

Unless this Thunderous Fist involved post-Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivation, it would have significant meaning for Chen Fei.

Putting aside any distractions in his mind, Chen Fei began to simplify the five scrolls he had just acquired. Compared to the light clusters, these scrolls were what Chen Fei truly needed.

Others needed to consider the issue of proficiency in their techniques because the impact of techniques on combat power was too significant.

However, Chen Fei, as long as he improved his cultivation realm, could rely on the electromagnetic cannon to forcefully carve out a path. A unique move, when mastered, would prevail over all others, especially a high-speed attack like the electromagnetic cannon.

Meanwhile, in other parts of the Haiyue Cave, a group of people quickly adapted after the initial passivity.

Many of the trial participants even formed alliances directly because there were simply too many soldiers, and the second-level trial was vastly different from the first.

It was no longer a matter of whether you had enough scrolls, but rather whether you had the capability to kill the soldiers and obtain these dropped scrolls.

Those who could participate in the Haiyue Cave trial were like the cream of the crop among their peers, excelling in both aptitude and wit, making them top choices.

As a result, the soldiers were quickly eliminated one by one, and as trial participants obtained the scrolls and light clusters dropped by the soldiers, their strength increased. In turn, they continued to attack these soldiers.

Like a virtuous cycle, the strength of the trial participants began to expand at an incredibly fast pace. Faced with soldiers at the Bone Tempering realm, they were no longer hesitant, and many individuals’ cultivation progressed much faster than during the first-level trial.

In a lake, the figure of Zhuo Tianying suddenly shot out, a sword piercing through a soldier on the shoreline. With a sweeping motion, a sword radiance flashed on the blade, decapitating the heads of four soldiers around him one by one.

And it didn’t stop there. Zhuo Tianying’s figure swayed, avoiding two arrows, and he charged directly into the camp.

A moment later, Zhuo Tianying held his sword diagonally, and what had been a camp with more than twenty soldiers was now completely empty. A smile appeared on his face as he looked at the floating light clusters and scrolls on the ground.

Unbeknownst to him, Zhuo Tianying’s cultivation had already reached the Marrow Tempering realm. After absorbing the surrounding scrolls once again, he could break through to the Visceral Tempering realm.

Zhuo Tianying currently had no idea who had first broken through to the Visceral Tempering realm, leading to the rule changes. He also didn’t know how that person had managed to advance their cultivation so quickly.

However, regardless of the circumstances, Zhuo Tianying didn’t give up. He continued to chase after his goal in his own way.

In terms of talent, Zhuo Tianying had never bowed down to anyone. On the Hidden Dragon and Young Phoenix Ranking, he had managed to claim the top spot. Today, in the Haiyue Cave, his target remained the top position.

Zhuo Tianying stepped forward, picking up the scrolls and light clusters one by one, and began contemplating the techniques right there. A quarter of an hour later, the scroll above his head shattered, and radiance descended, causing Zhuo Tianying’s aura to increase.

Stimulated by the results of the first-level trial just moments ago, Zhuo Tianying was now completely focused and, surprisingly, his pace of comprehending the techniques had accelerated significantly.

As a rare genius in the Thousand Feathers Alliance, Zhuo Tianying’s aptitude was beyond reproach. In the past, within the Fengwu Pavilion, he had never felt any pressure.

All techniques were laid bare before him, holding no secrets. Even if they were complex and difficult to understand, Zhuo Tianying would diligently contemplate them for a few days, always managing to find an entry point and eventually cultivate them.

While Zhuo Tianying earnestly practiced to catch up with the unknown first-place participant from the first-level trial, others were doing the same.

Teng Daoxuan had stopped trying to kill other trial participants. His entire focus at this moment was on how to eliminate the soldiers and comprehend the scrolls.

When Teng Daoxuan came to the Haiyue Cave, he had only regarded Zhuo Tianying as his opponent.

As for the first-place finisher in the first level, Teng Daoxuan wasn’t sure if it was Zhuo Tianying. But regardless of whether it was Zhuo Tianying or not, the first-place finisher had far surpassed him.

Pointless slaughter would waste time, and Teng Daoxuan needed to reclaim all the time he had wasted.

While others were diligently catching up, Chen Fei stood on a hill, gazing into the distance. There, a massive barracks was stationed.

In Chen Fei’s line of sight, a huge flag floated above the barracks, something that was not seen anywhere else. Clearly, the most formidable individual was inside that barracks.

The most valuable treasure would naturally be inside!

“Hmm!”

Suddenly, the entire Haiyue Cave quivered slightly, and countless radiance surged from other places into the barracks ahead. The auras of the soldiers inside the barracks visibly strengthened at an astonishing rate.

One of those rays of radiance came from not far away from Chen Fei..
