Chapter 34 Wood Qi Without Leaks
Chapter 34 Wood Qi Without Leaks
"One more rehearsal!"
Chen Ren did not believe in evil, and he chose to sever the cause and effect at different times.
However, it was soon discovered that aptitude was really unreliable; no matter how hard he tried, he only had ordinary aptitude.
"No, I might be mistaken."
Chen Ren's heart skipped a beat, and this time he changed the target of his killing...
In the rehearsal, his Calamity Sword was aimed at Wang Chengxian, and the next second it directly struck down his cultivation aptitude.
When the sword returned to his sea of consciousness, he used the principle of cause and effect to transfer Wang Chengxian's aptitude to his own.
[Ding: Cause and effect have been reversed. Wang Chengxian's aptitude and karma have been swapped with yours. You were born with a aptitude of C-grade (lower grade). Wang Chengxian had no aptitude for cultivation and missed his chance to join the Shangqing Palace...]
[Ding: Sword Drawing Value is less than 1000; the pre-trial result cannot be determined.]
After a while, his sword-drawing value was already below 1000.
Of course, even if it were enough, Chen Ren couldn't possibly transfer Wang Chengxian's talent to himself.
He's my senior brother, has he gone mad?
If anyone is to be punished, it should be Su Rentong's talent. Chen Ren has been coveting her Class B talent for a long time.
"Alright, alright, it's time to settle this score between us."
Chen Ren was overjoyed. The greatest benefit of drawing the sword of cause and effect was not that it directly cut off other people's talents and took them upon himself.
Instead, we should directly target him at the source, which would reasonably explain why his aptitude suddenly increased.
Of course, this requires two steps. According to the rehearsal, the first step is to draw the sword and cut off a usable aptitude, storing it in the sea of consciousness of the Calamity Sword.
The second step is to shift the "effect" of one's qualifications back to the "cause" of one's own shortcomings.
"Qualification is only one aspect of the cause and effect; I can use this method to accomplish even more."
Chen Ren was so excited that he casually severed the connection between his inner energy and the heavens and earth, and he was no longer too excited.
After the water element, his wood element is also a flawless body.
However, even with a flawless body, one still needs to cultivate martial arts techniques. Chen Ren currently only has the Overlapping Waves Technique. To fully develop the benefits of flawless wood energy, he needs to cultivate another technique.
Ultimately, Su Rentong still needs to reveal a weakness in the spiritual root. Chen Ren's current focus is still on the martial arts of the flawless body!
He planned to sever all connections between his five elements and the heavens and earth in one fell swoop!
But Chen Ren soon realized something was wrong.
"Huh? Why isn't it working?"
He looked at it in a daze, and the sword of calamity transmitted its consciousness, revealing that it still needed to be upgraded.
Good grief, you're saying you can level up and eliminate one enemy at a time?
However, this was expected. If the five elements were truly without leakage, wouldn't that mean one would be outside the Three Realms and no longer within the Five Elements?
Even so, after cutting away the wood energy, Chen Ren felt different again.
It seemed as if the whole world was slightly separate from him, as if he didn't belong there.
He didn't care about all that, and immediately picked up a spirit stone and used it.
In the next instant, his blood and qi increased at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his muscles bulged up right before his eyes!
Holy crap, that's cheating! That's real cheating!
Unexpectedly, the true flawless body is so powerful, and this is only the flawless body of water and wood energies.
Chen Ren was in a great mood!
He also discovered how to use the newly emerged Causal Sword Value.
Currently, the people with whom I have the deepest karmic entanglements are only Su Rentong and my senior brother Liu Qi.
There is no doubt that Su Rentong and his cause and effect are deep. As for the second senior brother Liu Qi, it was because he helped the other party to cut off the turbid energy that his fate was changed.
Chen Ren quickly realized that the increase in the causal sword-drawing value probably required someone like Senior Brother Liu Qi, whose fate was directly changed because of him.
Otherwise, why aren't Ren Renren and Wang Chengxian included?
Among them, his relationship with Su Rentong was the most complex.
Now, their sword-drawing value increases not only when something bad happens to Chen Ren, but whenever either of them encounters something bad.
[Ding: Su Rentong has once again rejected Zhang Yunmiao's advances. Sword Drawing Value increased by 5.]
[Ding: Liu Qi was humiliated by a teammate at the seventh level of Qi Condensation; his sword-drawing value has increased by 12.]
The senior brother seems to be in trouble, but he's an experienced and shrewd man, so he shouldn't be in any major trouble.
Although it was less than 20 PM, every little bit counts. Chen Ren was happy for a long time.
A great mood is inevitably followed by a great fall.
When people lack ability, their desires are insufficient, but once they have the opportunity, their desires will expand infinitely.
Chen Ren held his phone, staring blankly at the cultivation techniques displayed on it, feeling completely numb.
The Overlapping Waves Technique is the best introductory technique for water-based martial arts cultivation. There are nine parts in total, with a combined value of 830 million.
The best martial arts technique with the wood attribute is undoubtedly the Longevity Technique, which is even more expensive than the Overlapping Waves Technique, with a set costing 915 million!
This was the price from the last transaction; the next price might be hundreds of thousands higher.
It's still just internal skill.
To unleash the full power of a martial art, one must employ techniques, which are referred to in martial arts as martial skills, secret arts, divine arts, etc.
Martial arts techniques, the methods of utilizing martial arts qi and blood.
Chen Ren currently doesn't know any martial arts skills. The only skill he longs for is the lightness skill, the most classic one on the market, "Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada," which costs 308 million.
This kind of martial art isn't something you can learn just by reading a book; you need to go to a specialized martial arts school for one-on-one instruction.
The Shaolin martial art "One Finger Divine Skill," which emphasizes power, is a closely guarded secret and can only be practiced by joining a temple.
Chen Ren became increasingly dissatisfied with these martial arts techniques, which did not meet his requirements.
For example, the online reviews for Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada say: Increases speed by 50% and evasion by 30%.
One-Finger's comment was: "How about I secretly give you a shot with an anti-materiel device? Who fights empty-handed these days?"
In comparison, the techniques of immortals are undoubtedly far more advanced.
Spiritual energy is released, sword energy fills the sky, fireballs explode, and so on...
Zhang Yunqing isn't on the mountain, and nobody knows what revenge she's taking, as she hasn't replied to any messages lately.
Chen Ren thought about it and realized that he couldn't work in isolation; perhaps he could ask his friends for advice.
He picked up his phone and sent a message to his friend Hu Yuxian:
"Miss Hu, do you know any martial arts techniques that are powerful or allow for fast movement?"
He's a genius from a large family; he must know more.
There was no immediate response; instead, it took about half an hour.
Hu Yuxian: "Young Master Chen has finally remembered me? My Hu family has quite a few martial arts techniques, but most of them can only be practiced at the acquired realm."
"Young Master is still in the Qi and Blood stage, why not choose to learn it after reaching the Acquired Realm?"
She expressed her opinion that ordinary people in this world may only have two or three levels of Qi and Blood in their entire lives, so they need to learn martial arts.
However, these cultivators are destined to enter the Acquired Realm, so there is no need for them to waste time on these external techniques.
Wow, people from big families really do talk differently; they have such a broad perspective.
However, Hu Yuxian was wealthy and generous, and told Chen Ren that he could learn any martial arts skill below the level of acquired skill at the martial arts school under the Hu family's name, as long as he provided her contact information.
"These martial arts techniques are cheap, but they're too time-consuming."
She still insisted on her advice: "If Young Master Chen is to practice, remember to practice only one form of self-defense at most."
Chen Ren knew he was wasting time, but he was about to go down the mountain with his master, and he was unsure of himself.
Moreover, and most importantly, Chen Ren wanted to find the kind of skill that had high burst damage, great power, and could ideally be mastered quickly.
"What! High burst damage! Great power?!"
On Shangqing Peak, Ren Renren's screams carried far and wide.
Sword drawing skill +25!
"Junior brother, I know you're eager to succeed, but listen to my advice: never think of taking shortcuts!"
She told him righteously, "All martial arts techniques and spells on the market now that boast high burst damage, great power, and quick mastery are heretical and will damage your foundation!"
"These are forbidden arts, evil arts, with horrific side effects. They must not be practiced! They are strictly prohibited on Earth!"
Forbidden arts? Evil arts?
Chen Ren's eyes lit up: "Senior sister, you mean...it really exists!"
