This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 420 - 112: Sword Approaching (Last day to ask for monthly tickets) - Part 2

Chapter 420 -112: Sword Approaching (Last day to ask for monthly tickets) – Part 2

He planned to break through today!

“Steel Armor” required a strong Mind Power when breaking through from the Body Breaking Stage to the Qi Change Stage, and now Li Fei’s Mind Power was strong enough, so this breakthrough could be described as “smooth sailing,” with no obstacles at all.

After meditating in his dorm for over three hours, and after “Ghostly Foot” had absorbed and digested all the medicine, Li Fei naturally completed the breakthrough.

A thick, mighty Innate Qi was born inside Li Fei.

“Ghostly Foot” was a dual-attribute Implant, so the Innate Qi it cultivated couldn’t possibly be the purest, and thus it wasn’t True Qi.

This newly born Innate Qi leaned towards the masculine and, from its properties, it should be Earth.

With its thick and mighty characteristics, it should belong to Primordial Qi.

But since it also contained characteristics of the Dark Attribute, it was not purely Earth Element Qi.

“The characteristics of the Dark Attribute lean towards Evil Qi, so this Innate Qi could be called Earth Element Evil Qi,” Li Fei recalled the information he had seen in the books.

“Pure, Primordial, Mysterious, Evil, Gang, True”—these were the six attributes of Innate Qi.

Primordial Evil, Yuan Gang, Pure Primordial, Pure Mysterious etc., these were all Innate Qi with mixed attributes, generally only possessed by Implants with multiple attributes.

And those cultivated with the “Ghostly Foot” Implant were either Primordial Evil Qi or Gang Sha Qi.

The Earth Element Evil Qi that Li Fei cultivated was:

Thick, mighty, and had the sinister erosive nature.

Like the dark soil in the depths of the Netherworld Abyss.

After reaching the Qi Change Stage with “Ghostly Foot,” Li Fei’s second stage of cultivation was preliminarily complete.

Next, he didn’t need to break through “Ghostly Foot” to the Qi Change Middle Stage to cultivate the corresponding Force; he just needed to integrate the newly cultivated Earth Element Evil Qi into Vajra Force.

Inside his dorm, Li Fei activated the Vajra Force and then started to integrate the Earth Element Evil Qi into it using the methods recorded in the books left by Hao Yi.

The first Implant for “Mixed Element Heavenly Gold” was “Steel Armor,” and the second “Ghostly Foot”; the creators from the Sky Gang Sect had naturally considered this.

No matter what kind of Gold Attribute Force or Earth Attribute Innate Qi the later generations cultivated, there were corresponding blending techniques.

As the sun set and the moon hung high in the sky, Li Fei completed the initial integration.

A dark golden glow emerged on the surface of his body.

This was the Vajra Force integrated with Earth Element Evil Qi, which had become much dimmer compared to its previous brilliance.

However, it had gained enhancements on both offensive and defensive ends.

Defensively, in addition to increased power, it became more durable and robust because of the heavy and mighty properties.

Offensively, besides becoming sharper, it gained erosive properties, inflicting long-lasting damage once hitting an opponent.

Having completed the enhancement of his Force, Li Fei had theoretically finished the second stage of his cultivation, and could next integrate “Ghostly Foot” into “Unity,” gathering all the Implant branches spread throughout his body into his feet before integrating the third type of Implant.

He had already asked Shi Caiming to help him find the remaining three types of Implants necessary for “Mixed Element Heavenly Gold,” if they could all be found successfully.

Theoretically speaking, Li Fei just needed to wait three more months to complete the integration of five types of Implants!

However, Li Fei was not going to rush into “Unity” for “Ghostly Foot.”

Firstly, because the “Enhancement Period” provided by the integration of “Ghostly Foot” into his body wasn’t over yet; proceeding with “Unity” would disrupt the “Enhancement Period.”

Currently, Li Fei’s physique had already enhanced substantially, his Blood Soul count had increased by 18, bringing the total to 328.

This was expected to continue strengthening.

Moreover, once the Implant went through “Unity,” its growth would become completely fixed.

Currently, Li Fei’s “Ghostly Foot” had only developed the “Divine Movement” Extraordinary Ability, the Dark Attribute core-level Extraordinary Ability had not yet been developed.

Li Fei aimed to eventually develop five core-level Extraordinary Abilities!

So, he definitely was not going to rush the “Unity” of “Ghostly Foot.”

Developing Implant Extraordinary Abilities, besides stimulating its growth during regular cultivation, using the Implant in combat was the most effective method.

So Li Fei needed to continually use “Ghostly Foot” in combat next.

Only high-intensity combat could allow a Martial Artist’s Mind Power to align more closely with the Implant, thereby stimulating the Implant at a deeper level.

With Li Fei’s current combat power, there weren’t many opponents left who could provide him with high-intensity combat.

If the opponents were too weak, he wouldn’t be able to spark his desire to fight.

If the opponent was a “sparring partner” like Shi Caiming, Li Fei knew the other wouldn’t truly harm him, making it very difficult to harbor strong fighting intentions subconsciously.

If the opponent was Xu Jing… well, the desire to fight would certainly be there, but surviving would be quite difficult.

So, having the right opponent was crucial.

Just when Li Fei was in need of a suitable opponent,

that opponent voluntarily showed up:

On the evening of July 5th, Gu Yufeng, who came to “ask about the sword” from Qin Zhen, arrived at Datong Prefecture City.

Accompanying Gu Yufeng was none other than the Sect Master of Green Mountain Sword Sect, Nolan Zhi!

Moreover, the Green Mountain Sword Sect and the provincial city had also sent a group of experts.

These individuals came as the “Professor Group” from Hongyi University, ostensibly for an “academic exchange” with Wu’an University.

Xu Jing did not attend.

Had he come, he could only engage in “academic exchange” with Shi Caiming.

His current state was not well-suited for such exchanges with peers of equal stature…

That evening, the “Professor Group” led by Vice Chancellor Nolan Zhi from Hongyi University checked into the most prestigious official guesthouse in Datong Prefecture.

Bian Jingru personally hosted a banquet to welcome this team visiting Datong Prefecture.

At the banquet, Garrison Commander Bian expressed his enthusiastic welcome and heartfelt blessings for the establishment of Hongyi University!

Garrison Commander Bian pointed out that both universities were located in the same province and that such “academic exchanges” should be held more frequently in the future to foster friendly relations and collective progress.

“Nolan Sect Master, oh, should I call you Vice Chancellor Nolan now?”

At the banquet, Bian Jingru, holding a wine glass, looked at Nolan Zhi with a smile.

“Hahaha, please, Garrison Commander Bian, as you wish.”

Nolan Zhi toasted Bian Jingru with a laugh.

“Why don’t I see the ‘Moon Defect Sword’?”

Bian Jingru inquired.

“Moon Defect Sword” was Gu Yufeng’s nickname.

Nolan Zhi replied nonchalantly, “Oh, Junior Brother Gu has always disliked lively gatherings. He’s accustomed to wandering alone, and I can’t persuade him otherwise. I hope you’ll forgive him, Garrison Commander Bian.”

Bian Jingru nodded, his eyes meaningfully deep as he said,

“It’s fine for him to wander alone, but here in Datong Prefecture we value rules. I just hope your Junior Brother Gu doesn’t break any taboos, as it would be unfortunate to sour the mood of all involved.”

Nolan Zhi laughed,

“Don’t worry, Garrison Commander Bian, my Junior Brother Gu isn’t one to act rashly.”

Bian Jingru nodded: “That’s good.”

…

Fenghua Street.

Ever since Feng Sanniang’s death, the bustling nature of this street has never returned.

Several dance halls have shut down and have remained closed to this day.

The majority of Feng Sanniang’s properties were concentrated on Fenghua Street, truly making this place a ‘Golden Cave’—anyone who could take control of all the dance halls and girls on this street would be like obtaining a Treasure Bowl!

Yet, after the Green-faced Ghost King killed Feng Sanniang, no one has dared to take over business here.

On the desolate street, a figure in white clothes and bearing a sword walked slowly towards the entrance of “Garden Fragrance Pond.”

He was first invited here by Feng Sanniang years ago.

Now, he was here for the second time.

Back then, the place was brightly lit, filled with music and strings, accompanied by beautiful ladies and fragrant sleeves.

Now, only a gloomy building lay before him.

The soul of fragrance had departed.

Gu Yufeng stood in front of the “Garden Fragrance Pond” for a while, then turned and left, quickly disappearing into the night.

Minutes later, a figure in white appeared outside the gate of Green-faced Manor.

Sword pointing to Green-faced Manor!

…

Last day everyone, please use up your monthly tickets before they expire.

Note 1: Initially, I planned to mention this reason and even wrote a chapter to introduce the setting of ‘one supreme, three demons, five True Monarchs, seven Martial Saints,’ but I forgot to include it when writing. Now, I’ve added this reason to the earlier chapters~
