Chapter 400 - 366: Star Annihilator’s Power, Special Effect Attacks, River-Splitting Palm!
Meng Chuan still suffered from the disadvantage of weaker Qi Blood.If he had the strength of Limit Breaking Qi Blood, along with his inherently powerful physical strength, how could he have been stalemated with this giant crab demon until now.
The Celestial Demons terrified by their aura were countless around them.
Their corpses had already piled up nearby, forming small hills.
The cries of battle shook the heavens, and no other Celestial Demon dared to approach to "pick up scraps."
"It’s taking too long, this place isn’t far from the camp, let’s kill it quickly, to prevent someone from coming over and seeing the Demon Seed True Qi, causing trouble..."
Meng Chuan’s arms violently surged, frantically engaging in battle with the crab demon.
Boom!
With a sudden urgent explosion, his form carried a wave of energy, suddenly appearing atop the crab demon’s head.
Meng Chuan’s right arm swung back and then fiercely thrust forward with force, veins bulging on his bare scalp as purple-black flames erupted around his body, this is the aggregation of Demon Seed True Qi brought by Six Orifices Transformation.
The immensely powerful force radiated in all directions, the ground’s gravel, and the demonic energy in the sky were all mashed into flying ash.
"Star Annihilation!"
Boom!!!
The edge of his fist flickered with purple lights, landing on the crab demon’s enormous mouth.
In an instant, the terrifying black and purple power permeated the crab demon’s entire body, then power exploded from its mouth, nostrils, joints, and pores.
From it as the center point, black-purple energy exploded into circular rings, dispersing nearly a hundred and fifty meters away, relentlessly surging.
In that moment.
Everything was annihilated, the crab demon... disappeared.
Even the spot where it had just stood now revealed a large hole several meters in diameter, with smooth edges.
Within the hole, eight meters of sand layers had vanished, exposing deep underground layers composed of stones and gravel.
Meng Chuan’s form slowly contracted, panting heavily.
This battle brought him near exhaustion.
Divine Skill’s ultimate moves are not easily usable, he’s only Limit Breaking Qi Blood.
If it weren’t for his massive physical strength, an ordinary person couldn’t even use them.
"This thing, even if not at Upper Rank peak, probably isn’t far off."
Meng Chuan removed the unusual mask from his face, and once his energy recovered a bit, he slowly paced toward the edge of the pit to search for spoils.
He jumped into the pit, sensed around, and only found a cluster of blackish energy.
Apart from the crab demon’s True Spirit, everything else tangible had vaporized.
Missing one item of loot, the crab demon’s heart could have been used as an ingredient in Treasure Pills, worth tens of millions.
"Blood loss..."
Actually, just now continuing the entanglement, he could have won.
But because Demon Seed True Qi needed avoiding, Meng Chuan fiercely decided to unleash the ultimate move.
"When I act alone the day after tomorrow and delve deep into the Demon Nest, if I encounter such a strong enemy again, I can slowly wear them down with gentle force, leaving the whole body intact..."
The [Yellow Sand 011] is astonishingly vast, delving hundreds of kilometers deep, it’s hardly easy to encounter anyone.
Upper Rank crab demon True Spirit joined with battle honors, this round wasn’t a loss.
The smallest mosquito’s leg is still flesh, Meng Chuan processed the Celestial Demon material that was shocked to death by the battle’s aftermath, turned, and left.
The ground only left a wide area swept clean of dust, and the massive hole right at its center.
...
On the way back to the camp, due to significant physical exhaustion, Meng Chuan no longer aimed for Upper Rank targets.
While hunting Middle and Lower Rank Celestial Demons, he hurried back.
Encountering gatherings of Lower Rank Celestial Demons, Meng Chuan used his spear to sweep across, mowing through them like grass, exhilaratingly.
When facing Middle Rank opponents, Meng Chuan tried out the rest of the Four Elements of Thunder, meanwhile practicing Second-tier Fist Skills.
A very solid sandy area.
Marked in the Demon Nest must-know: the gravel here is over a dozen meters thick, beware of sand worms burrowing to sneak attack.
With a swoosh, a sand worm over two or three meters long, with a mouth full of vicious hooks like a meat grinder, burst from the ground.
It lunged at Meng Chuan’s head, as if to swallow him whole from top to bottom.
"Bite all you want, you can’t even chew!"
Meng Chuan shouted angrily, slapping his right palm on the giant sand worm demon’s disgusting mouth.
Gentle force turns like a little stream encountering stones, like waves surging continuously.
Although it’s a Second-tier Fist Skill, Meng Chuan’s execution made the power astonishingly great.
When the skill’s bearer is strong enough, even a State Fist can crack mountains and rocks.
The Middle Rank sand worm was dumbfounded, the gentle force wrapped with Water Attribute True Qi had permeated inside, destroying its organs.
Smack smack smack!
Three consecutive palms struck out like waves unfold layer by layer, palm force one weight is greater than the last, smashing the sand worm’s entire head to pulp.
Upon sensing its demise, Meng Chuan withdrew his hand and stood.
After sensing no threats around, he squatted down to extract the sand worm’s heart and True Spirit.
Besides the True Spirit, the most valuable was its nested spiral blade-like mouth.
But accidentally obliterating it, he had to settle for extracting the demon heart.
In battle, he must concentrate on the enemy, without spare attention to save spoils.
That terrifying large mouth almost gnawed on him, the threat was substantial, of course, Meng Chuan wouldn’t hold back...
Cleansing the bloodstains off his hands, Meng Chuan glanced at the panel.
This Second-tier Water Attribute Martial Arts had reached Perfection.
[River Splitting Palm: Limit Breaking]
[Obtained Limit Breaking Trait: Cold Vortex (Intermediate)]
Effect one: Lingering continuously, Water Attribute palm method is uncanny, palm force like a festering sore, causing persistent aching, disrupting the rhythm of movement.
Effect two: Diverting power like a wave, palm force splits the river not by brute force, by flexibility. Like water mitigating impacts from large stones, using softness to overcome hardness, slightly enhancing the martial principle of gentle force.
After reviewing the effects, Meng Chuan casually filled [Cold Vortex] into the Five Elements Qiankun Method.
Proficiency has already reached, second-time Limit Breaking (75%→80%).
After tidying up, Meng Chuan continued on his way, thinking internally:
"Strictly speaking, River-Cutting Palm is an improved ancient martial fist skill, and its specific function and effects are roughly what I expected.
It’s stronger than modern fist skills that have only one effect."
The first function enhances combat effectiveness, which can be considered icing on the cake.
Currently, when Meng Chuan strikes down with a palm, as long as he can break defenses, negative statuses are maximized.
Tearing, chill, fire poison, disordered breath, bloodthirst, and a series of effects all apply, extremely abnormal.
These are now equivalent to his "attack special effects."
Encountering tough, thick-blooded, high-defense enemies.
Apart from the "Star Extinguishing" special move, he can use these special effects to engage in guerrilla warfare, slowly exhausting the enemy to death.
His fist strength’s penetrating power is already maximized, facing Upper Rank Celestial Demons, he doesn’t need to consider whether he can break defenses.
The second function is similar to a small branch of enhanced martial principles.
It can improve Meng Chuan’s Water Attribute and overall fist principles, which is also good.
Coming back to his senses, Meng Chuan further thought about all the various attack special effects on his body right now.
"As my traits increase, overlapping effects are inevitable, for example what I acquired today is very similar to Cold Drill’s ’Permeating Seam’ special effect."
River-Cutting Palm was deduced from the Drilling Fist.
The two have some identical effects, likely because of this reason.
If he wants to enhance the diversification of his methods, he must search for martial arts again.
He should look for fists with significant differences from what he currently knows.
Regarding Five Elements Fist, he has already practiced the third-tier to a great extent.
Those he hasn’t started to train yet, he has basically borrowed them, and he can continue practicing when he returns to school.
If he wishes to find other attack special effects, training second-tier Five Elements Fist is a good method.
Aside from this, otherwise, he should focus on other Xingyi Sect fist skills.
Like Wing Chun, Arhat, Eight Trigrams, etc.
All Methods Return to One, gathering the strengths of various schools, is a goal he set early on, also maximizing his panel’s function.
But currently, he still has to focus on the Five Elements Fist.
He is unfamiliar with other Xingyi Boxing branches, except for Baji Fist.
Even though excluding True Skill fist skills, he can be self-taught, learning them is more time-consuming, and proficiency accumulation efficiency isn’t high.
Currently, he still needs to follow Five Qi Chaoyuan, this core trait.
This method with each Limit Breaking brings significant gains, not inferior to acquiring several Intermediate traits.
Also, being a "core trait," with increased Limit Breaking instances, its function is approaching Advanced traits, and in the future may even surpass them.
He is only 20% proficiency away from succeeding in the second Limit Breaking.
Unless the difficulty of the next Limit Breaking is too high, only then will he consider training other sect’s fist skills.
After all, he has to learn them eventually, just see which offers the highest value then.
...
Returning to Northern United University’s camp.
His companions have already finished adjusting their breath and set off again to hunt at Peak Stone Array.
Meng Chuan went alone to the battle achievements jade symbol place to see how much he had gained.
Looking at the statistics panel:
[Meng Chuan: 202 battle achievements, individual ranking: pending statistics]
He glanced at She Yu, her battle achievements were only 160, revealing a gap from him.
But Meng Chuan frowned, still not satisfied.
"A bit far from my reserved target..."
Today’s battle achievements can only be exchanged for two or three Moistening Vein Spirit Pills.
Fortunately, the Celestial Demon materials he gathered can also be exchanged for ample credits.
"After today’s probing, I can be bolder in action tomorrow, striving for battle achievements to break five hundred.
Subsequent solo actions, aim for one thousand a day!"
He came here to earn battle achievements, earn credits!
Other Northern United University students also saw Meng Chuan racing ahead on the statistics panel.
Amid admiring gazes, Meng Chuan returned to his room to adjust his breath and eat something.
Once the door closed, the discussions among everyone began.
"Two hundred battle achievements, that requires killing more than a hundred Middle Rank Celestial Demons, that’s too fierce..."
"Yes, even if Celestial Demons lined up and didn’t fight back, letting me kill, I couldn’t kill so many, would be exhausted to death."
"Perhaps, Chief Meng could even defeat Upper Rank Celestial Demons.
Earlier, his battle achievements suddenly increased by dozens of points, presumably killed a big guy."
The speaker saw She Yu and her team hadn’t returned yet.
And secretly said:
"I think Chief She lacks a little, can’t compare to Chief Meng."
Someone nearby agreed:
"I think so too. Imagine, Brother Chuan can counter Upper Rank Celestial Demons with a single Limit Breaking, after breaking the second limit, how strong would he be?"
"Yes, the key is Chief Meng isn’t just incredibly strong in actual combat, his cultivation speed is also abnormal, transformed Six Orifices in around half a year, simply inhuman..." This update ıs available on ????????????????????⚫????????????????⚫????????????
While everyone whispered and chatted, at the corner.
Motohiko, rather depressed, was roasting potatoes for his master.
Shang Ruyi really likes this...
She Yu didn’t want him, and Motohiko didn’t dare act alone, so he could only hunt with other campus people, just came back.
When Motohiko returned, he also saw the prominent three-digit number on the battle achievements panel.
"Dammit, luckily held back the urge to bet earlier, otherwise would have lost even the underwear..."
