Chapter 246

June 10th, morning.

Li Fei walked into the exotic beast breeding area of the Martial Arts University with the Ghost-Slaying Blade, heading toward the small mountain where Shi Caiming lived.

Ever since he killed the "Poison King" and "Cannon King" a few days ago, he had spent the following days honestly staying at the Martial Arts University to cultivate, not running out to cause trouble again.

The Blood-Faced Ghost dying that night was a "tacit understanding" between him and Governor Bian Jingru.

In fact, that Garrison Commander certainly hadn't arranged it that way from the start; it was just that he had to go with the flow that night.

Li Fei killing the "Poison King" and "Cannon King" was not just for revenge, but also to strengthen himself.

The reason Governor Bian Jingru was willing to protect the Green-Faced Ghost was because this "blade" had great utility value.

What Li Fei wanted was to continue increasing the value of the Green-Faced Ghost!

Of the former "Seven Kings" of Datong Prefecture, besides the "Blade King" who was killed by Xu Jing, the remaining "Beast King," "Cannon King," "Poison King," and "Queen" had all been slaughtered by Li Fei...

Now, only the "Shadow King" and the "Gambling King" remained.

After killing the "Cannon King" and "Poison King," Li Fei could smoothly take over the things left behind by the "Beast King," occupying the exotic beast ration market of Datong Prefecture from then on.

Li Fei could also swallow up a portion of the forces left behind by these two.

One of the targets of Li Fei's revenge was the Feng Province Inspector, the head of the Canglin Lu family.

Therefore, he not only needed powerful personal martial strength but also needed to build a more powerful force.

Now, after killing the provincial capital's officials, the Green-Faced Ghost still needed Governor Bian Jingru's protection to remain safe and sound.

If one day in the future, a word from the Green-Faced Ghost King in Datong Prefecture carried more weight than the Garrison Commander Governor Bian Jingru, wouldn't he be able to kill even more unscrupulously?

Thinking about the future development of the Qingyuan City Management Company along the way, Li Fei arrived at the small mountain where Shi Caiming lived and climbed to the summit.

Shi Caiming had previously said that Li Fei could come to the mountain to seek his guidance once a week.

With a Grandmaster personally pointing the way, Li Fei naturally wouldn't miss it, so after reaching a bottleneck in his cultivation, he brought his questions to find Shi Caiming.

"Principal."

Li Fei arrived at the cliff's edge and bowed to Shi Caiming, who was sitting on a lounge chair drinking wine.

"Hmm."

Shi Caiming drained the wine in his cup, his face slightly flushed, and looked at Li Fei with a hint of drunkenness:

"Something up?"

"My master left a blade technique on this blade, but I have never been able to grasp its method. I would like to ask for the Principal's guidance."

Li Fei raised the Ghost-Slaying Blade in his hand and said to Shi Caiming.

Shi Caiming glanced at the Ghost-Slaying Blade in Li Fei's hand.

When he first saw the mark on this blade, he had sensed the blade intent contained within it.

"I told you before, your master's final blade strike had already touched the threshold of the Grandmaster's domain. For you to try to forcibly comprehend this move at your current realm is too premature."

Shi Caiming said straightforwardly.

Li Fei insisted: "The student wants to try."

He was now urgently wanting to become stronger, so naturally, he didn't want to miss such a peerless move.

But Shi Caiming shook his head:

"It's not a question of whether you are willing to try; it's that this move involves fire-attribute internal energy. You need to at least master the fire-attribute Innate Qi before you can start practicing it. You have only incorporated one type of implant, and you can't even meet the minimum requirements. How are you going to try? Being overly ambitious won't work."

Li Fei fell silent for a moment, then bowed to Shi Caiming again:

"Then what should I cultivate now? Please guide me, Principal."

He was not someone who wouldn't listen to advice, and he was very capable of admitting his own mistakes.

Shi Caiming looked at Li Fei, who was bowing, and a flash of appreciation crossed his eyes.

The more talented a person is, the more confident and self-centered they tend to be.

But Li Fei did not have the bad habits of the geniuses he had seen in the past, which made him very satisfied.

Peerless talent, humble and polite, and willing to listen.

Teaching such a student was simply a pleasure!

"Didn't you practice the 'Jin Gang Method of the Red Sound Fire' before? Use it and let me see."

Shi Caiming said.

Upon hearing this, Li Fei immediately began to circulate his Jin Gang Energy within his body.

After preparing, he slashed directly at Shi Caiming with his blade!

The next second, countless brilliant rays of light bloomed from the blade, illuminating the summit of the small mountain in a dazzling radiance.

"Too scattered."

Shi Caiming's voice rang out within the light:

"The form is scattered, and the spirit is even more scattered. This move, 'Infinite Brightness Fire,' is meant to make you strike out with immeasurable light, but it is not meant for you to disperse your energy and intent into countless parts."

As this commentary sounded, the light above the summit quickly converged, ultimately condensing into a single point.

Shi Caiming extended an index finger to press against the tip of the Ghost-Slaying Blade, and at the tip of his finger, a pearl-sized ball of light condensed.

This ball of light contained all the "essence, energy, and spirit" that Li Fei had just slashed out!

This method was miraculous, leaving Li Fei in awe.

"The so-called immeasurable light is that even if there is only a glimmer of light, it is still immeasurable."

After Shi Caiming finished speaking, without waiting for Li Fei to carefully contemplate the changes, he flicked his index finger.

The edge of the Ghost-Slaying Blade was flicked away, and that ball of light hit Li Fei's chest like lightning.

Li Fei subconsciously circulated his Jin Gang Energy to protect his body, but the sturdy Jin Gang Energy, known as the "Wall of Eternity," was like white snow meeting the scorching sun in front of this tiny ball of light, instantly being "melted" into a hole!

The ball of light hit Li Fei's chest, blooming with infinite light.

Li Fei's mind was stunned; the world before his eyes disappeared, replaced by a expanse of brightness.

The scorching high temperature seemed to want to melt him completely!

It was unknown how much time had passed before Li Fei slowly regained his senses.

"This is the direction you need to practice next; contemplate it yourself."

Shi Caiming said while refilling his cup with wine and beginning to drink.

It was not that he was unwilling to give Li Fei more guidance, but that at the level of "Dao Energy," even the most brilliant teacher in the world could only let their student grasp it intuitively; it could not be taught in words.

Shi Caiming could only point out the path for Li Fei and provide a demonstration; the rest had to depend on Li Fei himself.

Li Fei stood where he was, slowly closing his eyes, recalling every detail from just now.

Time passed bit by bit, and Li Fei stood from early morning until sunset.

Shi Caiming sat on the lounge chair, finished three pots of wine, smoked four packs of cigarettes, and even took a nap in between.

Just as he intended to get up and return to his room, Li Fei, who had been standing for a day, suddenly moved.

He gripped the Ghost-Slaying Blade with both hands and slowly slashed the blade out in front of him.

A faint glimmer of light lit up from the blade, and finally, Li Fei slashed out a dim blade aura.

When this blade aura flew outside the cliff, it suddenly burst into brilliant light!

The next second, the entire small mountain was as bright as day.

The scorching light hit Shi Caiming's bald head, making his head shine even brighter.

He looked up at the brilliant sky, a smile appearing on his face:

"Good lad."

From directly striking out countless rays of light to blooming countless rays of light from a single blade aura—it might seem like there was no difference, but in reality, it was a huge change.

Li Fei had already demonstrated his talent in cultivation speed, but his talent in other areas hadn't been shown much yet.

Shi Caiming had originally been worried that Li Fei's talent might all be concentrated on cultivation, and he might not necessarily be able to inherit Hao Yi's blade path.

But now it seemed that some inheritances would not be broken.

June 14th.

Li Fei had been running to the small mountain where Shi Caiming lived early every morning for several days in a row to seek his guidance.

Although Shi Caiming had said he could come find him once a week, Li Fei was so diligent that Shi Caiming didn't refuse him.

Early this morning, Li Fei was preparing to go out to find Shi Caiming when a box of things was delivered to his dormitory door.

"Student Li Fei, this was specifically requested by the Principal to be delivered to you; please check and receive it."

An instructor said to Li Fei.

"Requested by the Principal?"

Li Fei was stunned, then thought of something, "Is the implant I wanted here?"

"That's right, this box contains the third-rank lower-grade 【Ghost Feet】."

The instructor who delivered the goods said.

"Great, thank you!"

Li Fei looked delighted.

For him now, the fastest way to increase his strength was not upgrading the Ten Thousand Blood Pearl, but incorporating new implants.

As long as he incorporated a new implant, his physique could be further strengthened, which meant the number of blood souls would increase.

Beyond that, the upper limit of 【Blood Rage】 would also increase accordingly.

Secondly, he could gain new extraordinary abilities and gain new Innate Qi to enhance his internal energy.

Li Fei believed that once he incorporated the new implant, his strength would definitely rise to a new level!

After signing for the box, he couldn't wait to carry it back into his dormitory and open it.

A cold chill wafted out from the box, inside which were frozen two lumps of pitch-black, mud-like things, which also emitted a fishy smell.

This was the third-rank lower-grade dual-attribute implant—【Ghost Feet】.

The main attribute of 【Ghost Feet】 was earth, and it also possessed the mutated dark attribute.

Its earth attribute could grant one the extraordinary ability—"Divine Movement."

It was a relatively common extraordinary ability; as long as one's feet were on the ground, one could possess stronger balance and faster movement speed, the ability to constantly change direction in complex terrain, and the ability to walk on flat ground in complex terrain.

And its dark attribute had the chance to develop a core-level extraordinary ability!

The five implants that made up the 【Hunyuan Heavenly Gold】 could theoretically allow a martial artist to possess five core-level extraordinary abilities.

Li Fei's current 【Steel Armor】 had already developed the core-level extraordinary ability "Danger Perception," and next, he would try to develop 【Ghost Feet】.

Having already learned the absorption method for 【Ghost Feet】 from the books Hao Yi left behind, Li Fei did not hesitate. He took off his shoes, then pressed his fingers together like a blade, cutting a wound on the soles of both his feet.

Immediately after, he took those two lumps of pitch-black "mud" from the box and placed them into the wounds.

The two lumps of black mud melted quickly upon meeting blood. Li Fei circulated his energy to seal the two wounds and took the elixir he had prepared in advance.

Next, he would cultivate 【Ghost Feet】 starting from the Embryo-Nurturing stage.

However, because Dao Foundation-stage martial artists already had sufficiently strong physiques and possessed Innate Qi to stimulate new implants, even starting from scratch, their cultivation speed was much faster than before.

Li Fei had only taken two months to practice 【Steel Armor】 from the Embryo-Nurturing stage to the Qi-Transformation stage.

Now that he was cultivating 【Ghost Feet】, the speed would only be faster!

In the Feng Province provincial capital, as Li Fei began to absorb 【Ghost Feet】, preparing to embark on a new cultivation path.

Xu Jing was also preparing to begin devouring the seventh-rank exotic beast, the Azure Water Heavenly Cloud Beast.
