Chapter 105 “My soul spirit is now 50% pale blue . But I am still unable to cultivate the four mystic class, low-tier martial arts to the highest stage . There seems to be something restricting me . ”
In the inn’s room, Li Fuchen was trying to comprehend the sword move, Meteor Fall .
Meteor Fall is a killer move .
Only allowed on Creativenovels . com
When martial artists crossed paths and both their foundation were similar, they would first have to compare their speed, second would be their killer move .
If the killer move was strong enough, it could be a single fatal blow, which other moves could not achieve .
But for the past two years, Meteor Fall was unable to reach the trance stage .
Cultivation level was one of reasons, but there is another important factor too…
Mystic class martial arts were meant for Earth Realm and Heaven Realm martial artists .
Generally, only Earth Realm martial artists could cultivate a mystic class, low-tier martial arts to the trance stage .
Other than these factors, there was nothing else holding Li Fuchen back .
Afterall, Li Fuchen did cultivate yellow class, peak-tier martial arts to the trance stage during his Qi Realm period . With his perception, stepping over the martial arts meant the next realm shouldn’t be a hard task .
“Perhaps it is due to the base . ”
With Li Fuchen’s quick thinking, he figured out the key element for the three stages above the completion stage .
The Completion stage is broken down into 3 stages, sub-perfection, perfection, and trance .
Normally, sub-perfection stage is considered the highest level a martial art can be wielded .
Perfection stage would bring it to the extreme, complimenting the firepower with exquisite fluidity .
As for the trance stage, it exceeded the limits of the martial arts and was blended with other martial arts . This was where it required the support from one’s base .
Thus, whenever a martial art reached the trance stage, it is considered one’s own original martial art . It would be slightly different from the original founder of the martial art .
The insufficient knowledge of one’s base is why Origin Realm martial artists aren’t able to push mystic class, low-tier martial arts to the trance stage .
The reason why Li Fuchen could bring yellow class, high-tier and peak-tier martial arts to the trance stage, was due to him already mastering plenty of yellow class martial arts .
Other than that, yellow class martial arts are foundation martial arts and didn’t contain much mystical contents . But mystic class martial arts were full of mysteries and required a stronger base .
“No wonder all notable swordsmen cultivated hundreds of sword styles . A single sword style is unable to produce a strong swordsmen . ”
Li Fuchen suddenly achieved enlightenment .
If there was anyone else here with Li Fuchen to hear what he said, it would make them shudder .
As Earth Realm martial artists may not even be able to have such enlightenment . Only those who have high level of sword dao or martial dao would be able to comprehend the important factor of building one’s base .
“Seems like after I return, there is a need to redeem more yellow class martial arts . ”
After finding the problem, Li Fuchen was much more relieved .
It wasn’t an issue to have a problem, but it was an issue to not find the solution .
***
Yet another three days past .
During the night time of the fourth day…
Hum!
The sharp sound of a horn sounded .
“Demonic beasts are attacking! Demonic beasts are attacking!”
Outside of the eastern gates of Shouxue Town, 10 scouts riding their demon blood horses galloped back while shouting .
“What? Attacking at night?”
“Damn, vision during the night isn’t good . It is too dangerous . ”
Everyone wore their clothes in a hurry and rushed out into the streets .
“A night time initiation?” In the inn, Li Fuchen frowned .
A beast wave eruption during the night time was treacherous, the fatality rate was twice as high when compared to a day time attack .
Picking up the armor near the side of the bed, Li Fuchen donned the armor .
It was a class 3 demonic beast pelt armor which was worth 20,000 gold coins in the outside world . Li Fuchen spent 10,000 contribution points to redeem it . It could help a martial artist reduce damage, especially scratches and claws .
Exiting the inn, Li Fuchen sprinted towards the eastern walls .
Along the way, Li Fuchen could somewhat hear the rumble of thunder like sounds .
On the walls were packed with people who were all basically Origin Realm martial artists .
In the crowd, Li Fuchen concentrated his qi on his eyes . Looking past the dark night, he looked into the distance .
The sight made him take a deep cold breath .
In the dark, a black wave of demonic beasts gushed towards them . Those that flew in the sky, those they ran on the ground, all types of demonic beasts were condensed together . It was hard to imagine how so many demonic beasts could coexist in the Kuangshou mountains .
“These demonic beasts sure know how to reproduce . Every year during the beast wave, a massive amount of these beasts would be sent to their graves . But when the next year came, their numbers would somehow replenish . ”
“Some demonic beasts can only give birth to one child at a time . Some can give birth to dozens or even hundreds . Killing them will not solve the problem . ”
“That’s right . The resources inside the Kuangshou mountains are limited . With too many beasts in there, that would mean their own destruction . Which is why their natural instinct is to claim more areas and source more food . ”
“The Kuangshou mountains is one of the largest mountain ranges within the Cang Lan region . I think not only Kuangshou City is being attacked by the beast waves . The nearby Tiexue City, Kuangfeng City, and even the Kuang Dao sect on the other side of the mountains should be having their own beast waves now . ”
The surrounding Origin Realm martial artists were all having their own discussions with a worried expression .
Listening to there discussions, Li Fuchen agreed .
For tens and thousands of years, demonic beasts have killed endless amounts of people . It was because of their rapid reproduction speed . If you killed one, there would be two more . You killed ten, there would be twenty more .
Small mountain ranges like the Yunwu mountains were manageable with only a beast wave every few years .
But the massive Kuangshou mountains would basically have a beast wave every year, and every decade there would be one large scale beast wave .
During the large scale beast wave, plenty of experts from the sect would come assist in repelling the beast wave . Just by relying on the military might of Kuangshou City wouldn’t be enough .
As the crowd was chatting away, the beast wave crept nearer and nearer . The ground started to shake as though an impending flood .
“Everyone listen to my orders and prepare to strike . ”
On the top of the walls was the mayor of Shouxue Town .
As the first town in line to Kuangshou City, the mayor was of course an Earth Realm martial artist .
In addition to that, plenty of Cang Lan Sect outer sect elders, inner sect deacons, outer sect deacons, and inner sect deacon apprentices were here too .
Under the walls was a battalion with at least the strength of a few thousand . Within it were the military forces of Shouxue Town and an even mightier army force – The Cang Lan Army .
The Cang Lan Army was the military might of the Cang Lan Sect . The minimum requirement to be a footman was to be at the Origin Realm .
When a war broke out between sects, the Cang Lan Army would be on the forefront . Thus the training of the troops was extremely important . Repelling a beast wave was definitely one of the best opportunities .
Over here was just a small portion of the Cang Lan Army . The total strength of the Cang Lan Army was at least 200,000 strong .
As the beast wave was 1000 meter away, Shouxue Town’s first round of long distance attack had begun .
Hundreds of catapults were launching massive rocks . When these rocks smashed into the beast wave, it would at least kill 3 or 5 demonic beasts and help reduce the speed of the beast wave’s advance .
Although the catapults were effective, the number of demonic beasts are overwhelming . In just a short moment, the beast wave was just a few hundred meters away .
“Open the town gate . Attack!”
With the order given, the huge city gate opened . The Cang Lan Army and Shouxue Town’s military forces marched out . Those on the walls descended from above to receive the beast wave .
