If he used his Star Finger. the power would be on a whole level higher. As his cultivation had increased, his Metal Wall Technique had also reached peak fifth rank.
The Metal Wall Technique was split into seven levels, and the sixth level could form a barrier using Inner Strength, which even seventh and eighth ranks would find hard to break. According to what it wrote, if one reached the seventh level, their body would be perfect.
Thinking about it now, Zhao Feng thought that something was wrong, because at that level, it would have exceeded the limits of the human body unless there was still a gap between the sixth and seventh level. Zhao Feng’s eyes twinkled as he thought about Zhao Yufei’s grandfather, the one-armed old man.
When they had exchanged, the old man may have also changed something on Metal Wall Technique, just like how he had kept back information. He didn’t think too much about these problems because he had broken through to the seventh rank and he could choose his reward.
“Holy martial art! It looks like this is what Fate has decided for me…" Zhao Feng suppressed his excitement.
Today was the day he needed to answer Third Guard.
The building in the middle of the field...
“You’ve decided to choose the Holy Martial Art?” Third Guard was slightly surprised as he stared at Zhao Feng.
He never thought that Zhao Feng would be able to reach the seventh rank and enter the ranks of Martial Masters in such a short amount of time.
“Yes.” Zhao Feng’s tone was decisive.
“Ok, follow me.” The Guanjun Corp didn’t say much as he led Zhao Feng to the Treasury Hall.
The Treasury Hall was a sacred ground of the Guanjun Palace. There were always two Martial Masters of the ninth rank overseeing the place, and to open the Holy Martial Arts Library, both the ninth rank Martial Masters needed to agree.
“Open the Holy Martial Arts Library?” The two were slightly stunned.
In the Guanjun Palace, one must have the personal agreement of Lord Guanjun.
“Open the Holy Martial Arts Library.” Third Guard took out a dark silver and gold token.
Orders of Lord Guanjun!
The two Martial Masters of the ninth rank immediately bowed down. The silver and gold token represented Lord Guanjun himself. Furthermore, Third Guard was one of the top three of the Guanjun Corps, and he oversaw the Sky Guards Battalion, since Lord Guanjun was in secluded meditation.
His status could be seen as he took out the token. The two ninth ranks led the way to a dark metallic silver building. The whole building had no windows, it just had a pure black door which had a hole in the middle of it.
Third Guard walked to the door and placed the Guanjun Token into it.
Weng~
The pure black door slowly opened and revealed what was inside.
“You can only choose one Holy martial art.” Third Guard took Zhao Feng in, then closed the door.
In the dark room, there were bright jade slips, around twenty of them and they had martial art names on them.
Illusion Wind Technique, Blood God Palm, Heavenly Demonic Claw, Sky Domination Hand, Silver Wall Technique…
“Every jade slip represents a Holy Martial Art. Once you’ve decided on which one you want, you can take one out and borrow it for seven days, then send it back after. What you gain all depends on your enlightenment and wisdom,” the Guanjun Corpsman told him.
Zhao Feng knew that these slips were just the summaries of the skills, the real skills had to be taken from elsewhere. There weren’t many Holy Martial Arts in the room, but all of them were complete.
Illusion Wind Technique: One’s figure turns into the wind and creates doppelgangers. The highest level can create nine doppelgangers. Minimum requirements: Seventh rank.
Blood God Palm: Dissolves the enemy’s flesh into water and is able to form a deadly poison.
Heavenly Demonic Claw: A demonic claw that can rip metal into pieces. When trained to the peak it can destroy infinite items.
Zhao Feng’s heart couldn’t help but shake as he saw the descriptions. Compared with these, the martial arts he learned before were like children’s play.
Hmmmm?
Suddenly, Zhao Feng saw a name of a jade slip named Silver Wall Technique.
“Silver Wall Technique?”
Zhao Feng was overrun with joy. His Metal Wall Technique was said to be the simplified version of the Silver Wall Technique.
Silver Wall Technique: A body strengthening technique that increases the trainer’s strength and defense. Once trained to its peak, the body won’t even melt in fire and it exceeds the limits of the human body.
Looking at the description, the Metal Wall Technique was similar to Silver Wall Technique, but the latter was more powerful.
Exceeds the limits of the human body! What kind of thought is that?
According to what Zhao Feng knew, if one’s body reached its peak, one could instantly step into the Holy Martial Path with just body strength alone. This was similar to the peak fifth level of the Metal Wall Technique, just their muscles alone could fight against fifth or sixth ranks.
Silver Wall Technique was the same way, one could use their muscles alone and fight against cultivators of the Holy Martial Path.
“No wonder it’s a Holy tier body strengthening technique…” Zhao Feng took a deep breath and turned back to the other jade slips.
Chapter 78 – Silver Wall Technique
Zhao Feng scanned the techniques and he found that offensive skills took up the majority of them. There were only two body strengthening techniques, including Silver Wall Technique.
“Offensive and speed skills must not be easy to learn,” Zhao Feng thought secretly.
Inside the dimension of his left eye, he had the Mysterious Wind Palm and the four incomplete Holy Martial Arts: Flowing Wind Stance, Tornado Stance, Partial Wind Stance, and Burning Wind Stance.
Just these Holy martial arts alone would take Zhao Feng a long time to learn, so he swiftly took the jade slip representing Silver Wall Technique when he thought about everything.
“You choose Silver Wall Technique?”
Third Guard was slightly surprised. He had taken others in here before and they all took offensive skills such as Bloody God Palm and Heavenly Demonic Claw.
If they learned these skills, they would be able to beat all the other cultivators of the same rank, but there were people who could not learn them.
“Yep.” Zhao Feng was decisive. He chose this skill after much thought.
“It’s easy to learn a Holy body strengthening technique, but the difficulty increases significantly later on compared to the other skills.” The Guanjun Corpsman had a faint smile on his face. He admired Zhao Feng’s decision as the body was the foundation of cultivation. One would only be able to train other skills if their body would allow it.
After confirming the skill, Third Guard gave a handwritten book to Zhao Feng. Opening it, Zhao Feng saw the contents were similar to Metal Wall Technique, but it was more in-depth and profound.
“Although this is just a handwritten copy, you still must return it in seven days. You must not give this technique to others or else the Guanjun Palace will cripple your cultivation," the Guanjun Corpsman warned.
“Understood! But I don’t need to take this book back with me,” Zhao Feng said calmly.
As he said so, he stared at the book and flipped the pages quickly.
Shua!
In an instant, the contents were copied into Zhao Feng’s mind. Tens of breaths later, Zhao Feng returned the handwritten book back to Third Guard.
“You…," Third Guard was slightly dazed.
“I’ve already memorized it,” Zhao Feng said with a smile.
What kind of monster was he…?
Stunned shock could be seen in Third Guard’s eyes. He had seen geniuses that could memorize whatever they saw, but it was his first time seeing someone memorize the whole
book.
After all, the book contained complex pictures and phrases, a single difference could result in destruction. Even geniuses who could memorize what they saw in one go would look over it repeatedly.
“Are you sure you’ve memorized it all? Hehe, I bet little brother Bei will be interested…" The Guanjun Corpsman sent Zhao Feng away with his eyes and gave a short laugh.
He trusted that Zhao Feng had memorized it because no one could resist the temptation of a Holy martial art…
After leaving the Treasury Hall, Zhao Feng returned to the Sky Guards Battalion. As soon as he got near his wooden room, Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi looked expectantly at him.
“Brother Feng, what did you get at the Treasury Hall?” Zhao Yufei blinked at him, extremely curious. Everyone knew that Zhao Feng had gotten the most battle points in the mission so he had an extra reward.
“Secret.” Zhao Feng gave a mysterious smile and he returned to his wooden room, he didn’t want everyone to know that he had a Holy martial art.
Within wooden room #10...
Zhao Feng sat cross-legged and the contents of Silver Wall Technique surfaced in his mind. He learned it while comparing it with Metal Wall Technique at the same time.
“Metal Wall Technique is indeed just a simplified version of Silver Wall Technique…”
Excitement shone in Zhao Feng’s eyes. The more it was so, the better it was for him because a brand new skill was hard to learn. But because he had learned Metal Wall Technique, he had a solid foundation and therefore, it was easier to train.
Silver Wall Technique was split into eleven levels.
The first three levels were similar to the Metal Wall Technique, with strengthening the skin as the focus. The fourth to sixth levels focused on strengthening the bones, which increased the offensive power of the user. The seventh to ninth levels focused on strengthening the organs and ignited the potential of one’s body. One could form a barrier from Inner Strength that could block the arrows of ten thousand archers.
The tenth level: complete change of bones and blood, break through to the Holy Martial Path!
Reading up to here, Zhao Feng didn’t know how to express himself. The tenth level allowed someone to reach the Holy Martial Path.
Eleventh level: Body of Perfection, almost indestructible.
Zhao Feng held his breath as he read this, then compared it with the seventh level of Metal Wall Technique.
“It looks like the Metal Wall Technique from the one-armed old man has problems because it misses out on at least three levels, and a high ranked martial art can’t allow someone to reach the Holy Martial Path,” Zhao Feng analyzed.
He was even suspicious that the old man had the Silver Wall Technique, but was just afraid to take it out. But since these questions had no answers, he couldn’t be bothered to figure them out.
On the same time, Zhao Feng started to train Silver Wall Technique. Zhao Feng only used three hours to easily successfully train the first three levels, and he couldn’t give voice to how nice he felt.
It was the same three levels as Metal Wall Technique, but deeper.
From the fourth level onwards, the difference between the two became greater. The fourth to sixth levels of Silver Wall Technique equaled the fourth to sixth ranks of the Martial Path, unlike the Metal Wall Technique, where the increase in levels had a massive gap.
Night of the next day...
Zhao Feng successfully reached the fifth level of Silver Wall Technique and his progress slowed down. But because Zhao Feng had Metal Wall Technique as the foundation, he still reached the sixth level within the next three days.
“The sixth level of Silver Wall Technique, I can wipe out anyone under the seventh rank and I can even challenge Martial Masters of the seventh rank with just my muscles alone.” Zhao Feng’s eyes twinkled and a smile appeared on his lips.
His strength had increased by at least half because Inner Strength and Martial arts all used the body as the basis.
After reaching the sixth level of the Technique, his progress was so slow that it had technically stopped. Zhao Feng understood that the foundation of Metal Wall Technique had all been used up. To improve this technique, it now required him actually working.
Hu~
Zhao Feng let out a breath and yawned. He had been training for a few days and when he went out, he found out that the situation had changed in the Sky Guards Battalion.
The tent that Zhao Yufei used to live in had disappeared, leaving behind Huang Qi’s.
“Two days ago, Lady Yufei reached top five of the Ten Sky Guards and Lu Xiaoyu has reached top three. Apart from that, two more of the original Ten Sky Guards have been replaced…” Huang Qi summarized the situation.
The kill mission had changed the situation of the Ten Sky Guards as some youths had received good rewards, which allowed them to increase by leaps and bounds.
However, no one challenged Zhao Feng because he had fought Lei Cong to a draw a few days ago and was said to be ranked third.
“Oh yes, you need to be careful. Lei Cong is coming out of training today and I heard that he wants to spar with you again,” Huang Qi warned.
Lei Cong?
Zhao Feng smiled and didn’t put it to heart. His cultivation had been suppressed to the peak sixth rank, so Huang Qi didn’t know that he had broken through. His Withering Wood Technique had reached perfection, which allowed him to even fake death.
Soon, Zhao Feng arrived at wooden room #5 and sparred with Zhao Yufei. Zhao Yufei did make some major improvements, training in three different peak ranked martial arts, which were offensive, defensive, and body strengthening respectively.
Zhao Yufei learned skills and increased in cultivation way faster than others. After the mission, she had honed her skills and her potential had ignited, which allowed her to reach the peak sixth rank.
As the two sparred, two youths of fifteen-some years old arrived at the entrance of the Sky Guards Battalion.
“There are newbies arriving at the Sky Guards Battalion?” A few of the youths were curious.
The two were different, one was handsome and easy to interact with, while the other was expressionless.
“Master will be coming out in half a month, I wonder how many of the Sky Guards Battalion he will choose,” the social youth said.
The expressionless youth only listened and didn’t reply. The two walked shoulder to shoulder and arrived in front of the Ten Sky Guards.
“Sixth brother, don’t you want to see the elites of the Ten Sky Guards?” the interactive youth asked.
“No," the expressionless youth said.
“Ahh, you’re too straightforward.” A light smile appeared on the other's face as he sighed.
“Who dares to be arrogant here!?” Lei Cong just happened to walk out from the second room and heard this.
“Zhe zhe seventh rank, so-so,” the talkative youth said playfully.
“I’ll see what makes you so arrogant.”
Lei Cong send a palm with a ring of Inner Strength in it towards the two youths. If they were Martial Artists, this move alone would send them flying.
However, the two didn’t move at all.
“F*ck off!”
The expressionless youth stood still as he released a bronze colored chi that ripped Lei Cong’s attack into shreds.
Boom—-
Lei Cong’s body was sent flying and with a “krak”, the wooden room behind him was also destroyed.
Chapter 79 – Super Genius Bei
Boom!
The loud sound immediately alarmed the other youths of the Sky Guards Battalion.
“Who are those two? They sent Lei Cong flying in one hit.”
“Don’t they know that it’s against the rules to destroy the wooden houses?”
A few of the youths were shocked. Zhao Feng and Zhao Yufei were both alarmed by this as well. When they went out, they saw that the wooden house belonging to Lei Cong
had been destroyed and Lei Cong himself had just managed to get rid of the wood covering him.
“Aren’t you two scared of the punishment from the Sky Guards Battalion?” Lei Cong wiped the blood leaking from his mouth.
“We’re not from the Sky Guards Battalion.” The handsome youth curled his lips while the expressionless youth remained expressionless.
“Final Wind destroying the Skies!”
Lei Cong once again exploded out with Inner Strength and shot towards the two strangers. This move contained his full power and it could easily kill cultivators of the sixth rank.
“Let me do it!”
The joyful youth laughed gently and he sent a twirl of white Inner Strength towards the attack and resolved it easily.
“Ah!”
Lei Cong felt his body move forward without doing anything, so he immediately circulated his Inner Strength and tried to retreat.
“Hehe, come down!”
The youth twirled his hand once more and Lei Cong felt a suction force below him that pulled him down.
Plop!
Lei Cong fell right down and he was kicked flying by the youth.
“Aye, it looks like there aren’t any geniuses within the Sky Guards Battalion.” The handsome youth shook his head.
“I said that,” the expressionless youth said, but what he actually meant was 'I said that, it was you that forced me to come here…'
The other youth stiffened slightly.
The fight had started and ended in an instant.
Si!
The watching youths of the Sky Guards Battalion drew in cold breaths. Lei Cong, ranked number two, had been defeated this easily...
“That skill he just used had surpassed the peak ranked martial arts, could it be…"
Zhao Feng was slightly stunned. He was certain that the skill the joyful youth had just used was at least at the half-Holy rank!
