Chapter 418: Ghost Feet

June 10th, morning.

Li Fei carried the Ghost-Slaying Blade into the exotic beast breeding area of the Martial University, walking along the path toward the small hill where Shi Caiming lived.

Ever since he killed the "Poison King" and the "Cannon King" a few days ago, he had spent the following days honestly staying at the Martial University to cultivate, without running out to stir up trouble again.

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

In fact, that Garrison Commander certainly hadn't planned it that way at first; it was just that he had no choice but to go with the flow that night.

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

The reason Senior Bian Senior Bian Jingru was willing to protect the Green-Faced Ghost was that 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 a "Shadow King" and a "Gambling King" remained.

After killing the "Cannon King" and the "Poison King," Li Fei could smoothly take over the things left behind by the "Beast King," thereby occupying the exotic beast feed market in 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 Li Fei wanted to take revenge on was the Feng Province Inspector, the head of the Canglin Lu clan.

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

The current Green-Faced Ghost, after killing provincial officials, still needed to rely on Senior Bian Senior 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 Senior Bian Senior 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 hill 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 every week.

With a Grandmaster personally providing pointers, Li Fei certainly 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 edge of the cliff and bowed to Shi Caiming, who was sitting on a lounge chair drinking.

"Hmm."

Shi Caiming downed the wine in his cup in one gulp, his face turning slightly red, and looked at Li Fei with a hint of drunkenness:

"Something up?"

"Master left a style of blade technique on this blade, but I have never been able to grasp the method, so I would like to ask the Principal for guidance."

Li Fei said to Shi Caiming, raising the Ghost-Slaying Blade in his hand.

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, this final blade strike of your master has already touched the threshold of the Grandmaster realm; for you to try to forcibly comprehend this move at your current realm is too premature."

Shi Caiming said straightforwardly.

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

He was currently desperate to become stronger, so naturally, he was unwilling 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 force, and 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 don't even meet the minimum requirements, so how can you try? Being overly ambitious won't do."

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

"Then what should I cultivate now? Please, Principal, give me some guidance."

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

Shi Caiming looked at the bowing Li Fei, a flash of appreciation appearing in 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 those prodigies 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 'Red Sound Fire Vajra Method' before? Use it and let me see."

Shi Caiming said.

Upon hearing this, Li Fei immediately began to circulate his Vajra force within his body.

After preparing for a moment, he slashed directly at Shi Caiming!

The next second, countless brilliant rays of light bloomed from the blade, illuminating the summit of the small hill 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 Bright Fire,' is meant to make you strike out with immeasurable light, but it is not meant for you to disperse your force and intent into countless parts."

As this critique sounded, the light above the summit rapidly converged, finally being gathered 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 index finger, a light orb the size of a pearl condensed.

This light orb contained all the 'essence, Qi, and spirit' that Li Fei had just slashed out!

Such a method was miraculous, leaving Li Fei filled with admiration.

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

After Shi Caiming finished speaking, he didn't wait for Li Fei to carefully contemplate the changes; he flicked his index finger.

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

Li Fei subconsciously activated his Vajra force to protect his body, but the incomparably sturdy Vajra force, known as the 'Wall of Eternity,' seemed like white snow meeting a scorching sun in front of this tiny light orb, and a hole was 'melted' through it instantly!

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

Li Fei's mind went blank; the world before him disappeared, replaced by a expanse of brightness.

The scorching high temperature seemed as if it would melt him completely!

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

"This is the direction you should practice in from now on; comprehend it yourself."

Shi Caiming said, while pouring himself another full cup of wine and beginning to drink.

It wasn't that he was unwilling to give Li Fei more pointers, but at the level of 'Dao Force,' even the most brilliant teacher in this world could only let their student grasp it intuitively; it could not be taught through 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 the middle.

Just as he intended to get up and return to his room, Li Fei, who had been standing for a whole 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 off the cliff, it suddenly burst into brilliant light!

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

The scorching light hit Shi Caiming's bald head, making his bald head become 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 having countless rays of light bloom from a single blade aura—it seemed like there was no difference, but in reality, it was a huge change.

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

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

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

June 14th.

For several days in a row, Li Fei had been running to the small hill where Shi Caiming lived early in the morning to seek his advice.

Although Shi Caiming had said he could come find him once a week, Li Fei ran there so diligently that Shi Caiming did not refuse him.

Early this morning, just as Li Fei was preparing to go out to find Shi Caiming, 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 to be delivered?"

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

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

The instructor who delivered the goods said.

"Great, thank you!"

Li Fei was full of joy.

For him now, the fastest way to increase his strength was not upgrading the Myriad 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.

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

Secondly, he could gain new extraordinary abilities and obtain new Innate Qi to enhance his force.

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 air drifted out from the box; inside were two frozen, pitch-black things that looked like silt, and they were emitting a fishy smell.

This is the third-grade low-tier dual-attribute implant—【Ghost Feet】.

The primary attribute of 【Ghost Feet】 is the earth attribute, and it also possesses a mutated dark attribute.

Its earth attribute can grant a person an extraordinary ability—Spirit Walk.

It is a relatively common extraordinary ability; as long as one's feet are on the ground, one can possess stronger balance and faster movement speed, the ability to change direction constantly in complex terrain, and the ability to traverse complex terrain as if it were flat ground.

As for its dark attribute, there is a chance to develop a core-level extraordinary ability!

The five implants that make up 【Primordial Heaven Gold】 can theoretically allow a martial artist to possess five core-level extraordinary abilities.

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

Having already learned the absorption method for 【Ghost Feet】 in advance from the books left behind by Hao Yi, Li Fei did not hesitate; he took off his shoes, then pressed his fingers together like a blade to cut a wound into the soles of both his feet.

Immediately after, he took those two clumps of pitch-black "silt" from the box and placed these two things into the wounds.

Upon encountering fresh blood, the two clumps of black mud quickly melted; Li Fei exerted his strength to seal the two wounds and took the elixir he had prepared in advance.

Next, he must cultivate 【Ghost Feet】 starting from the Embryo Nourishing stage.

However, when a martial artist at the Dao Foundation stage incorporates other implants, because their own physique is already strong enough and they possess innate Qi to stimulate the new implant, even if they start cultivating from scratch, the cultivation speed is much faster than before.

Li Fei originally only took two months to train 【Steel Armor】 from the Embryo Nourishing stage to the Qi Transformation stage.

Now that he is cultivating 【Ghost Feet】, the speed will only be faster!

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

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