Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

Chapter 925: I Only Kill
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Friend, I am Lou Hongming. Pleased to meet you!”

Someone beside Chen Fei suddenly smiled and clasped his hands.

“I am Chen Fei. Pleased to meet you as well!”

Chen Fei looked at Lou Hongming with some surprise and returned the gesture. Lou Hongming had been standing by while everyone came and went earlier.

Although they were unfamiliar with each other, Chen Fei had not taken the initiative to greet him. Unexpectedly, Lou Hongming was the one to speak first.

“Brother Chen, aren’t you going to compete for a spot?” Lou Hongming asked familiarly.

“Do you think I have the ability to secure a place, Brother Lou?” Chen Fei asked, looking at Lou Hongming.

“Please don’t mind. My ability allows me to see things differently.”

Lou Hongming smiled, pointing towards the courtyard ahead. “If I’m not mistaken, with your strength, securing a spot in the top twenty courtyards should be no problem!”

Observation Insight!

This was Lou Hongming’s ability; he could gauge a person’s general combat strength just by looking.

In Lou Hongming’s view, those above the Mid Sun Moon Realm were all marked in red, a color that represented severe danger, indicating that offending them could lead to death.

Among those in the Early Sun Moon Realm, only a few were marked in light red, indicating they were dangerous, and the best outcome of a conflict would be that he would be heavily injured and forced to retreat.

Most of those marked in light red were individuals Lou Hongming had either seen before or heard of, all being from Sky Sea City.

Chen Fei was also marked in light red, but Lou Hongming had never heard of him.

Standing beside Chen Fei at this moment, Lou Hongming took the initiative to make a friendly acquaintance.

In the Return to Nothing Realm, it’s not just about fighting; human relationships also matter.

It’s not always about being the strongest; having friends who are strong can solve many problems.

Lou Hongming adhered to this mindset, making many friends in Sky Sea City and thus knew a lot of information.

“That person is named Yu Zhenlai. He was previously a disciple of the Shiheng Sect and has been cultivating the protective divine ability ‘Body Destruction’. He has been in the Sun Moon Realm for nearly two hundred years,” Lou Hongming said in a low voice, seeing that Chen Fei wasn’t offended.

Not all practitioners in the major human cities graduate from academies. Many come from backgrounds with their own forces and do not need to rely on academies for cultivation.

Academies are more geared towards ordinary practitioners.

“The position of the top twenty is too low. Who is that person?” Chen Fei shook his head, pointing to the courtyard of the tenth place.

“That person is named Tian Bing’an, a disciple of the Wanfa Sect. He has been in the Sun Moon Realm for over two hundred years, about the same time as Yu Zhenlai. But his talent is much stronger. I’ve heard his divine seed is nearing transformation,” Lou Hongming said, noticing Chen Fei’s focus on the top ten.

He thought to himself that there was no need to be so aggressive; a more stable courtyard could be selected.

However, it was a bad idea to be too forward when just starting to get acquainted.

“Who is that one?”

Chen Fei nodded and asked, pointing to the third place.

Chen Fei had specifically asked about Tian Bing’an because, based on Tian Bing’an’s displayed strength, he could easily be in the top five, but he had chosen the safer option of the tenth place.

“That person is named Yu Xiaoliang, a direct disciple of the Rain Listening Hall’s master.”

Lou Hongming looked at Chen Fei and added, “I’ve heard the master of the Rain Listening Hall intends to groom Yu Xiaoliang as the future hall master. His strength is formidable!”

The master of the Rain Listening Hall is a Mid Rule Integration Realm expert, a prominent figure in Sky Sea City. Being accepted as a direct disciple proves a lot about one’s capability.

“Get lost!”

Yu Xiaoliang shouted furiously, swinging a blade as tall as a person and slashing at an opponent, tearing apart half of their body.

If not for the critical moment of retreating from the battle, the opponent might have been cut into pieces by Yu Xiaoliang.

Yu Xiaoliang gripped the Shattered Rain Blade, glanced around, and then looked towards the top two on the right before closing his eyes.

Pure essence from the heavens descended, permeating Yu Xiaoliang’s body and restoring him to peak condition.

“Thank you for the clarification!”

Chen Fei clasped his hands and, with a flicker, disappeared from his spot.

Since it was his first visit to the Qiankun Mansion, Chen Fei decided to start with a modest approach and warm up with a challenge against the top three.

Seeing Chen Fei heading directly towards Yu Xiaoliang, Lou Hongming’s hand twitched involuntarily.

Earlier, Lou Hongming had thought Chen Fei was simply seeking information and was even ready to start discussing the top two. To his surprise, Chen Fei had decided to challenge Yu Xiaoliang right away.

Chen Fei appeared before Yu Xiaoliang, causing Yu Xiaoliang’s recently closed eyes to snap open.

Yu Xiaoliang appraised Chen Fei from head to toe, his brow furrowing slightly.

Just as Lou Hongming had felt Chen Fei was unfamiliar, Yu Xiaoliang didn’t recognize Chen Fei as a notable figure in the Sun Moon Realm.

“Chen Fei, please offer your guidance!” Chen Fei said, clasping his hands.

“I only kill; I don’t offer guidance!”

Yu Xiaoliang snorted coldly. He had been somewhat merciful earlier, but now someone dared to challenge him? Did they really think he wouldn’t kill?

Chen Fei smiled slightly, and with a sound of sword chirping, the Qianyuan Sword appeared in his hand.

A low-grade Spiritual treasure!

The critical material issues were partly compensated by the spiritual materials from collectors like Shen Shundong. Ultimately, relying on the massive spiritual essence of three Sun Moon Realm experts, it barely reached the level of a low-grade Spiritual treasure.

Heavy and solid, these were the two characteristics of the Qianyuan Sword that Chen Fei needed.

Yu Xiaoliang glanced at the Qianyuan Sword with a trace of disdain. Its crude forging techniques were no match for his Shattered Rain Blade.

As a direct disciple of the Rain Listening Hall’s master, Yu Xiaoliang could have possessed a more powerful Spiritual treasure.

However, to better hone Yu Xiaoliang’s skills, the master provided only a low-grade Spiritual treasure. Even so, the Shattered Rain Blade was nearly at the limit of a low-grade Spiritual treasure.

With a bit more spiritual material, the Shattered Rain Blade could easily be upgraded to a mid-grade Spiritual treasure.

Seeing that Chen Fei had no intention of backing down, Yu Xiaoliang wiped the disdainful look off his face, revealing a murderous expression. If he wasn’t leaving, then he should stay!

Yu Xiaoliang vanished, appearing in front of Chen Fei in an instant, swinging the Shattered Rain Blade downward.

“Whoosh!”

It was as though a violent storm had suddenly swept across the world, with countless winds and rains pummeling towards Chen Fei.

This was a divine ability, calling forth wind and rain!

The wind and rain weren’t ordinary but were purely condensed and compressed from the essence of the blade.

Each gust and droplet was more than sufficient to kill a Mountain Sea Realm expert.

At that moment, within a ten-mile radius around Chen Fei, the storm was so dense that it was nearly impossible to open one’s eyes.

Yu Xiaoliang was arrogant by nature, but he never underestimated his opponents in battle. To establish his reputation, he gave his all, pushing his divine ability to its limits and unleashing his power to its fullest extent.

Many in the Early Sun Moon Realm looked towards Yu Xiaoliang, noting that few could withstand such a powerful move.

Even the top two, at this moment, frowned slightly, feeling a sense of alertness from Yu Xiaoliang’s attack.

Facing the torrential winds and rains, Chen Fei remained calm. He reversed the Qianyuan Sword in his hand, and a massive figure appeared behind him.

Dust Giant Body!

This was an explosive technique Chen Fei had mastered during his time in the Mountain Sea Realm.

Even in the Sun Moon Realm, the Dust Giant Body was still usable, one of the few techniques not yet outmoded.

The Dust Giant drew upon the forces of heaven and earth. The only difference now was that Chen Fei could harness much stronger and greater power without worrying about the overwhelming force crushing his body.

The raging storm battered against the Dust Giant Body as if it were ordinary rain. The shield on the Dust Giant’s surface trembled briefly before settling down.

Yu Xiaoliang’s eyes widened slightly. His full-strength attack was effortlessly blocked by the opponent?

Even the defense hadn’t been broken?

Could it be that Chen Fei’s divine seed had already transformed into a complete divine ability?

Not only Yu Xiaoliang but everyone watching was astonished by the sight.

Chen Fei’s decision to challenge Yu Xiaoliang indicated his strength, but no one expected that Yu Xiaoliang’s full-strength strike would fail to breach Chen Fei’s defense.

“Slash!”

Yu Xiaoliang roared in anger, and the storm within a ten-mile radius suddenly contracted, concentrating within a hundred meters.

At that moment, it wasn’t just about the dense rain and wind but rather a blade-shaped storm river, with violent winds sweeping the blade river toward Chen Fei.

Chen Fei lifted his gaze and looked at Yu Xiaoliang. With a forward swing of the Qianyuan Sword, the Dust Giant behind him moved as well, its massive blade seemingly obscuring the heavens.

The winds and rains that had blocked the Dust Giant were instantly split in two, unable to offer any resistance.

“Boom!”

A thunderous explosion echoed into the sky, and intense waves of force swept outward. The storm vanished, leaving only a figure flying out of the arena, drenched in blood.

“Pfft!”

The ground remained intact, with no crater from Yu Xiaoliang’s impact. Instead, all the force rebounded onto Yu Xiaoliang, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

Yu Xiaoliang steadied himself, looking at Chen Fei with a face pale as gold, his eyes still filled with disbelief.

He had been heavily injured by a single strike?

Had it not been for the arena, he might have faced death if pursued.

All the Early Sun Moon Realm experts stared in shock at Chen Fei, and even many from other realms of the Sun Moon Realm looked over.

Few could achieve such feats at the same level.

In mid-air, Dao Yuefeng’s eyes flickered with the first sign of emotion.
