Chapter 148: Difference Between Bright Aperture and Long Breath (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the next five days, the pagodas swept over the mountains one after another. Wherever they passed, all the spiritual beasts were killed.
With that magical landscape map, the spiritual beasts had nowhere to hide. No matter how hidden they were, they would be discovered and eliminated.
Without exception, those who attacked were all Heaven-rank and Earth-rank disciples.
The Black-rank and Yellow-rank disciples weren’t strong enough to fight, and the three upper house disciples wanted to preserve their strength. As long as the Enlightening Stage spiritual beasts didn’t appear, they would stay put.
Due to the previous conflict, the focus of the landscape map was on Lin Shen every time he went out to fight.
Because of this, the disciples witnessed the miracle of Lin Shen’s Iron Claw and Golden Goose Technique going from Beginner to Proficient, and then from Proficient to Mastery in just five days!
Their initial surprise and confusion gradually turned into shock and disbelief.
Although many people felt that Lin Shen was wasting his energy and time cultivating multiple similar martial arts techniques, it didn’t stop them from being inexplicably shocked by Lin Shen’s cultivation speed.
In five days, he cultivated two martial techniques from Beginner to Mastery.
What kind of cultivation speed was that?
Was this guy even human?
For a moment, many disciples were shocked beyond words.
Even Xie Jingsheng was secretly shocked.
“No wonder Master thinks so highly of Junior Brother Lin. His cultivation talent is simply the best in the academy. Even Shen Zening is far inferior!”
Jiang Hao stared at the map, his expression fluctuating.
Fortunately, not long after, the focus of the landscape map changed to someone else.
Because of this, no one saw the sudden increase in the power of Lin Shen’s martial arts technique.
“I’ve finally broken through!”
Sensing the martial arts comprehension and understanding that suddenly appeared in his mind, Lin Shen smiled.
After fighting spiritual beasts for five days, he had finally cultivated the Iron Claw and Golden Goose Technique to Perfection.
“Indeed, it’s faster to improve martial techniques with Testify by Killing. If I cultivated normally, I would have to spend at least twice as much time cultivating both martial techniques to Perfection!”
Considering that Path-stage movement technique had to be based on the Cloud Dragon Rhythm, Lin Shen didn’t fuse Golden Goose Technique and Shadows for the time being. He only fused the Iron Claw into Meltdown.
In the next second, the Meltdown’s progress jumped slightly and instantly became Meltdown (Path 5%)!
“Only 5%?”
Lin Shen frowned.
This increase was a little too insignificant!
But soon, his brows relaxed again.
He had already verified the power of Path-stage Meltdown. With his Long Breath Stage cultivation, he could even injure an Enlightening Stage spiritual beast. It was indeed powerful.
If even the Path stage was so powerful, one could imagine how shocking the higher stages were!
It wasn’t surprising that the conditions for a breakthrough were harsher!
At most, he would spend more time cultivating more martial techniques.
After coming back to his senses, Lin Shen continued to hunt spiritual beasts. This time, he no longer used the Iron Claw and Golden Goose Technique. Instead, he began to use new martial techniques.
Cloud Dragon Rhythm and Strange Hands!
A new round of martial arts upgrades had begun!
After the battle ended, the disciples returned to the pagoda.
Although they were still full of energy, they couldn’t hide the fatigue on their faces.
Although they had killed thousands of spiritual beasts, the disciples weren’t without casualties.
Thanks to sufficient logistical support, less than two figure of disciples had died in battle.
However, at this point, the disciples had almost reached their limits.
Xie Jingsheng swept his gaze across the disciples and said solemnly,
“Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, the sect has sent a message. In three days, at noon, the sect’s army will attack the Tiger Tribe’s lair. Now, we only need to clear a little over ten mountains and wait for the sect’s army to arrive. Then our mission will be accomplished!”
As soon as he said this, the disciples heaved a sigh of relief, and they all looked overjoyed.
It was finally going to end!
Over the past few days, even among the Yellow-rank disciples who had killed the fewest beasts, nearly half of the token was filled with the blood essence of spiritual beasts. It was equivalent to ten minor merits.
If it were any other time, it might take two to three months for them to gain so much.
But now, they had only used less than half a month. This trip had been quite rewarding.
A smile appeared on Lin Shen’s face.
There were three tokens filled with the blood essence of spiritual beasts in his storage bag. In addition, one of them was already more than half full. He had more than 70 minor merits, and his gains were much greater than when he found the Treasure Gold Cloud Sand in the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range!
“This amount of merit points is enough for me to exchange for another 10 to 20 palm techniques. After I cultivate them all to Perfection, it should be enough to make Meltdown reach a higher stage!”
Lin Shen was overjoyed.
After the disciples calmed down, Xie Jingsheng drove the pagoda forward.
However, not long after, the pagoda shook violently. A few seconds later, it shook violently again.
Everyone was shocked and quickly turned their heads to look. Only then did they realize in shock that the pagoda had been surrounded by countless gusts of pale wind.
There were 30 to 40 pillars of wind, and each pillar was more than five meters in diameter. They whistled as they continuously smashed into the pagoda, and the momentum was vast and terrifying!
“Enlightening Stage white-eyed spirit tigers!”
Xie Jingsheng’s smile faded, and he sat up straight, his face solemn.
“These guys have been hiding for so long. They’re finally willing to appear!”
Mu Chuanhua narrowed his eyes. “They must have guessed that the main force of our sect is about to arrive, so they want to take advantage of this opportunity to finish us off. Heh, these demons are quite ruthless. They didn’t hesitate to sacrifice their own clansmen outside to exhaust our strength.. They only appeared now to take the spoils!”
