Chapter 6 Returning to Simplicity, The Invisible Blade, Emergency Mission
After his fourth return, Chu Wen decided to rest for a few days.
Firstly, my body really needs a few days of rest; the fatigue has almost drained my potential.
Secondly, his potential points have finally accumulated to 20.
So far, he hasn't used any of his potential, just waiting until now.
Having just finished showering, with a few water droplets still clinging to his body, Chu Wen sat calmly cross-legged on the bed, exhaling a breath of warm air.
A panel that only he could see reappeared.
[Health Value: 7/100 (Health Limit Exceeded 1 Times)]
Potential Point: 30
[The Burning Blade Technique is complete (7%)]
[The End of "Like a Shadow" (99%)]
[The "Blood Demon State" increases combat power by 400%.]
[Current strength level: Novice Warrior. After Blood Aura Unleashed: Advanced Warrior]
After countless swings of the sword, Chu Wen's mastery of the "Burning Blade Technique" had climbed from 1% to 7% of perfection, demonstrating that his own comprehension was not bad either.
However, "Like a Shadow" has been unable to break through its bottleneck and can only rely on potential points.
"Let's try a ten-pull first..."
With a thought, a warm current that had been flowing through his skin began to surge and rush into his acupoints.
He felt burning hot all over.
After hitting a roadblock with "Like a Shadow" last time, you didn't give up and continued to practice diligently for decades, but unfortunately, you couldn't grasp its essence... After repeated attempts, you finally realized the relationship between people and shadows during a meditation session: like a shadow, you are omnipresent yet nowhere...
"Like a Shadow" was a complete success (16%).
"Only 16% completion after 10 pulls?"
Upon closer inspection, this set of movement techniques taught by the Jiangnan Martial Arts University professor is clearly superior to the "Burning Blade Technique," and its difficulty in mastering it is exceptionally high.
However, his movement technique was also extremely terrifying in actual combat. The reason why Chu Wen was so calm was because his movement technique was so advanced that those beast soldiers couldn't even touch him!
Once this movement technique is perfected, it will likely become even more extraordinary.
Previously, only those two low-level beast generals posed a threat to him, but with "Shadow Follows" by his side, they couldn't touch him at all.
With his current strength, he is fully capable of exploring more powerful counties, such as the deeper parts of ancient Huizhou, the city of No. 0017, the former source of the Grand Canal.
The earlier the city's number, the more terrifying the monsters within it.
The most terrifying city, number 0001, was once known as the "Magic City." There, a strict hierarchical system of monsters still existed, and several intelligent monsters joined forces to establish their own city-state!
The main force attacking Jiangnan Base City this time came from City 0001!
"If I could grow into a junior warrior, with the power of the Chaos Origin Pearl, I might be able to explore the Demon City on my own. Unfortunately, I'm still too weak right now."
Having reached the pinnacle of "Following the Shadow," further improvement would be too costly. With his current swordsmanship, he couldn't harm demon king-level monsters, and even the fastest movement technique would be useless; instead, he would be the first to exhaust himself.
The focus shifted back to the "Burning Blade Technique".
"Ten consecutive pulls!"
After reaching perfection in the "Burning Blade Technique," you are not satisfied with your current level. Subconsciously, you feel you should reach a higher level, but you consistently fail to grasp the essentials, resulting in slow progress. Like water dripping on a stone, year after year, you make only slight gains.
The Burning Knife Technique is 77% complete.
Previously, even a little potential could significantly improve the progress of enlightenment, but now even ten consecutive pulls have negligible effects.
Fortunately, Chu Wen could clearly feel that he had experienced countless sword swings in his mind, and his swordsmanship was now more exquisite and profound than before.
"Again!"
If you don't have enough of your last ten potential points, go out again!
[Bottlenecks cannot stop your will to climb to the peak. You keep striving, even forgetting how many years have passed, and finally you comprehend the last level, reaching the state of returning to simplicity. At this point, the "Burning Blade Technique" holds no secrets for you.]
The Burning Blade Technique: Returning to Simplicity (0 Limit Breaks)
Boom! ~!
A wave of heat rolled around Chu Wen, and beads of sweat the size of broad beans appeared on his body.
The heat coursing through his body was instantly contained in his palm, swirling and transforming into a sharp blade that only he could see!
Even without a knife, he can slice through everything around him with just his palm!
hum!
No need for a medium, its own blade flashes!
The glass on the bedside table shattered into sparkling fragments—
Neat and exquisite! An invisible blade!
Chu Wen had a feeling that even a high-level beast general could be dismembered by his own Burning Blade Technique with his bare hands!
Of course, all of this came at a price; the drops of blood dripping from her fingertips spoke volumes.
"My physical strength is insufficient... my cultivation level is not high enough to control this ability..."
He immediately understood his situation: his strength and realm still needed to be improved by himself!
After so many days of intense hunting, an ordinary martial artist might have been able to kill a beast-soldier level monster with a single strike. The proficiency gained purely through sheer numbers is an extremely terrifying figure!
Chu Wen could feel his strength improving, and he should be close to becoming an intermediate warrior.
I glanced at my bank balance and realized I was still a long way from having a full set of A-grade equipment.
"We're still too poor... If we could hunt down a beast general with a single strike, our earning speed would double."
Just as he was about to close his eyes and take a nap.
"Beep beep beep."
An emergency communication was established through his personal computer; it was his superior at his post.
"Chu Wen, there are two suspicious points in the reconnaissance location you uploaded earlier. Please reorganize the information and send it back."
In the wild, it's impossible to stay connected to the internet all the time. Among the monsters, there are demon kings that emit special frequencies, making human communication impossible. We can only rely on manual filming.
"it is good."
Chu Wen selected some photos taken during the internet outage and uploaded them, but instinctively sensed a subtle atmosphere.
After a long while, a new instruction came from the other end of the quantum computer.
"Comrade Chu Wen, there is a county town called 0618 4 kilometers north of the county town of 0617 that you uploaded. Please go there to investigate. According to the image data you provided, the computer analysis shows traces of an insect nest."
"Two martial arts teams lost contact in County 0618 tonight. Please be aware of your surroundings at all times. If anything seems amiss, please retreat immediately. Meanwhile, the Flying Martial Arts Academy will dispatch a top-tier martial arts team based on your findings."
A top-tier martial arts squad! Capable of instantly killing demon kings! And facing off against demon emperors!
Losing contact in the wild is common, as communication interference becomes more intense the deeper one ventures into the territory of monsters.
"Given the danger of this mission, you have the right to refuse, but currently only Fortress 033 is closest to County 0618. After analysis by the quantum computer, you are the best candidate."
"If the investigation is successful, Chaos Martial Arts Academy will reward you with the corresponding breathing technique and record a merit, and you can apply for official membership at any time."
Chu Wen could sense the urgency on the other end of the quantum computer.
Top-tier martial arts squads are usually on dangerous missions, and it is extremely difficult to temporarily draw one of them.
If it turns out to be a false alarm, it may cause losses on the other side. The analysis by the quantum computer probably also calculated its strength to instantly kill beast soldiers.
"accept."
Having obtained the coordinates, Chu Wen got out of bed and left the Warrior Fortress without stopping.
"Insect hive".
He didn't know much about insect hives. He only knew that once a hive was formed, it would give birth to an endless stream of insects. These insects felt no pain; they were ruthless destructive machines that would devour everything around them, including humans and weak monsters, leaving no one alive!
The birth of an insect hive also attracts beast king-level monsters. It's a golden opportunity for them to break through to the next level; devouring a mature insect hive can transform their intelligence!
The Beast King has transformed once again; he is now the Demon King!
Having acquired wisdom, one is no longer a beast, but a demon, truly entering the realm of wisdom among demon beasts.
Beast King and Demon King – a difference of one word, yet worlds apart.
The battles surrounding the insect hive often spread over a wide area, triggering a war between the beast kings. Humans naturally want to seize the opportunity to kill more beast kings and prevent the birth of the demon king!
Therefore, intelligence is extremely important. Only by knowing the location of the insect hive can we take the initiative and reap the benefits.
