Chapter 507: Isn’t This Too Much?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Chen Fei tried his attacks once again and found that there was a slight improvement, but this improvement couldn’t be considered significant.
Due to the power of the Phantom of the Soaring Heaven Technique, apart from agility, the other aspects were only at about thirty percent of the late Aperture Tempering realm, as Soaring Heaven Technique could only be cultivated up to the late Aperture Tempering realm.
Thirty percent of the late Aperture Tempering realm was roughly equivalent to the early Aperture Tempering realm in terms of strength.
Considering Chen Fei’s current cultivation at the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, adding the strength of the early Aperture Tempering realm couldn’t be considered a substantial boost, especially given his already strong personal attacks.
Compared to the significant improvement in agility, the increase in attack power was quite negligible.
However, Chen Fei was already very satisfied with this. After spending a few days practicing a secret technique for a clone shadow, he unexpectedly received such a pleasant surprise.
Moreover, the integration of this clone shadow had opened up new ideas for Chen Fei.
The fusion of this clone shadow could actually stack the strength of the shadow clones. If Chen Fei found a way to enhance the strength of his shadow clones, it would directly strengthen his own power.
If the shadow clones also possessed the strength and speed of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, then after stacking, Chen Fei’s power would be greatly increased.
This was somewhat similar to Mo Shiyi’s Profound Origin Pearl, but undoubtedly more profound.
The Profound Origin Pearl forcibly contained the power of others, and it was inherently different in origin, with all the pressure borne by one’s own body and soul. The strain on the body and soul could be easily imagined.
However, Chen Fei’s clone shadow technique involved each clone bearing its own power, with the final guidance and command from Chen Fei himself. As long as Chen Fei’s mental strength was strong enough, he could completely control this power.
With the existence of the Strange Heart Realm, Chen Fei’s mental strength would never lag behind his cultivation level, so there’s no need to worry about control issues.
“The path of cultivation is truly profound,” Chen Fei couldn’t help but shake his head in amazement.
Besides collecting inheritances for the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, he also needed to pay more attention to this method of cultivating shadow clones.
Chen Fei gradually calmed his mind and continued to meditate.
This time, he was practicing the Primordial Profound Art, which had already integrated with the Light Slicing Shadow Sword.
Compared to the Azure Skies Technique he obtained from Guan Hongxuan, the Light Slicing Shadow Sword was undoubtedly much more profound. Moreover, after mastering the Light Slicing Shadow Sword, it provided a significant boost to agility.
Chen Fei had originally intended to merge the Light Slicing Shadow Sword first because of this reason, with the aim of improving his agility.
Unexpectedly, this issue was resolved first thanks to the clone shadow technique.
However, when it came to agility, Chen Fei would never consider it too fast. This had been his philosophy ever since he was in the Body Tempering realm.
You may not be able to defeat others, but when it’s crucial, you must be able to outrun them.
Preserving one’s own life was the most critical thing.
With the Primordial Profound Art integrated into the Light Slicing Shadow Sword, his proficiency started at the Perfect Stage. It wouldn’t take too long for Chen Fei to cultivate it to Great Completion.
Clearly, there wasn’t a significant difference between the two in terms of levels, so the improvement based on the cultivation method wasn’t very substantial.
However, as long as it could improve, it was a good cultivation technique, and Chen Fei had no reservations about that.
Moreover, if he integrated enough cultivation techniques, there might be unexpected changes, just like what happened with the clone shadow technique. Unexpected mutations were also a possibility.
While the outside world became increasingly noisy due to the Blood Battles, Chen Fei continued to practice at his own pace.
In just a few days, time flew by. Sea Light City, the largest city in the Sea Peak City, was directly under the jurisdiction of the Thousand Feathers Alliance.
There was an arena within Sea Light City, so there were now more people inside the city than usual. Sea Light City was already crowded on regular days, and now it was even more densely packed.
Chen Fei and his group appeared outside the arena, but after a moment, Mo Shiyi and his companions also arrived. Chen Fei’s gaze immediately locked onto a person standing next to Miao Wanhong.
As if sensing Chen Fei’s gaze, Zhu Guannu also turned his eyes towards Chen Fei, with a hint of mockery in his expression.
“Zhu Guannu?”
Qin Haishan also noticed Zhu Guannu and furrowed his brows. However, he remembered that Chen Fei’s cultivation had reached the Combined Aperture Tempering realm now, which slightly eased his concern.
Not only Qin Haishan, but Tong Zhongqiu and the others also showed some fluctuations in their expressions but quickly composed themselves.
If they hadn’t known that Chen Fei’s cultivation had already broken through, they might still be worried. After all, Zhu Guannu’s combat strength was genuinely formidable, earned through fierce battles.
However, now that both of them had the same cultivation level, the outcome of their battle would only be known after they fought.
“Those who are participating in the Blood Battle, step forward.”
Bi Zhongxun glanced at the people on both sides and said in a deep voice. He was the one presiding over today’s Blood Battle. The process of this battle could only be witnessed by the people present.
As for those in Sea Light City who had come just to watch the spectacle, they didn’t expect to see real-time combat scenes; they were here for the results. Of course, a few betting stalls were set up, which was inevitable.
Chen Fei’s figure flickered, and he stepped forward, with Zhu Guannu flying to the front as well.
Bi Zhongxun turned to look at Miao Wanhong, awaiting an explanation.
“This person is a guest official of my Divine Waters Sect. In this Blood Battle, he represents the Divine Waters Sect fully,” Miao Wanhong declared loudly, and Zhu Guannu immediately presented the guest official token of the Divine Waters Sect.
Bi Zhongxun nodded, and this was within the rules allowed for the Blood Battle.
Being able to find a replacement to fight on your behalf was a skill in itself. If you dared to challenge me, you should be prepared for me to send someone else to fight for me.
“Cultivation level!” Bi Zhongxun continued.
“Combined Aperture Tempering realm, First Tier,” Zhu Guannu replied, and as he spoke, a blade of light struck the bronze pillar below.
Bi Zhongxun sensed the tremor in the bronze pillar and nodded, then looked at Chen Fei.
Bi Zhongxun naturally knew that Chen Fei had recently broken through to the Combined Aperture Tempering realm; this information was available in the records. However, before the Blood Battle began, these details had to be verified.
“Combined Aperture Tempering realm, First Tier!”
Chen Fei casually swung a sword element, which also struck the bronze pillar, with a vibration frequency almost identical to Zhu Guannu’s.
Bi Zhongxun looked at Chen Fei in surprise. It had only been a few years, and his cultivation level had already reached the First Tier of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm?
Not only Bi Zhongxun, but Mo Shiyi and his companions also had changed expressions. What kind of cultivation speed was this? Anyone who knew when Chen Fei broke through to the Combined Aperture Tempering realm was finding it hard to accept at this moment.
Even Zhu Guannu couldn’t help but furrow his brow slightly.
For martial artists, cultivation level was of utmost importance; it formed the foundation for everything.
When Chen Fei’s cultivation level was still below the First Tier of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, he was already able to surpass Miao Wanhong. Now that he had broken through to the First Tier, where would his combat power be?
Zhu Guannu, who had initially worn a somewhat mocking expression, gradually became more serious. Winning this battle would likely require much more effort than he had anticipated.
Zhu Guannu never thought he would lose, but his mindset had indeed changed.
Miao Wanhong, upon hearing Chen Fei’s words, first felt shocked, followed by relief. He was grateful that he hadn’t listened to Mo Shiyi’s advice to confront Chen Fei with the Profound Origin Pearl.
Otherwise, his current state would be a mixture of fear and anxiety.
Mo Shiyi looked at Chen Fei, his fists gradually clenched. With such talent and cultivation speed, would there still be room for their alliance of sects to survive in the Sea Peak City in the future?
As Chen Fei continued to cultivate and progress, the territory controlled by their alliance’s sects would inevitably shrink. At that time, they might not even be able to control the resources in many sea regions, let alone secret realms.
The strong ruled, that was the rule of the game.
“You can enter the Blood Battle arena now,” Bi Zhongxun said calmly.
He speculated that Chen Fei’s cultivation level was likely the result of some secret technique. As far as Bi Zhongxun knew, there were several methods that could accelerate one’s cultivation to the First or even Second Tier, but the conditions for their use were quite strict, and very few people could actually achieve it.
Of course, even with these methods in mind, not many could actually make it work.
Zhu Guannu looked back at Mo Shiyi, who nodded. The Profound Origin Pearl floated out, and Mo Shiyi pointed at it.
In the next moment, a force attached itself to Zhu Guannu’s body. It wasn’t much, about the combined strength of two First Tier of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators. This was what Zhu Guannu had requested, as this level of power allowed him to maintain perfect control.
Zhu Guannu’s aura surged higher and higher, while the spirit of the Profound Origin Pearl was greatly diminished.
Instead of directly unleashing attacks with the Profound Origin Pearl, it was enhancing Zhu Guannu’s strength in mid-air. This approach would cause destructive damage to the Profound Origin Pearl.
However, Mo Shiyi was also concerned about Zhu Guannu’s possible defeat in this battle. If that happened, the Profound Origin Pearl would be lost. So, he chose this compromise.
The spirit of the Profound Origin Pearl could be slowly repaired afterward, but if Chen Fei were to take the entire Profound Origin Pearl, it would be truly lost.
Zhu Guannu felt the power within his body and couldn’t help but smirk. He turned to glance at Chen Fei and then stepped into the Blood Battle arena, disappearing from view.
Chen Fei’s expression remained unchanged as he also stepped into the Blood Battle arena.
In an instant, Chen Fei found himself suspended in mid-air, his surroundings swirling around him.
The so-called Blood Battle arena was not a magical treasure; there weren’t that many magical treasures within the Thousand Feathers Alliance.
This place was a massive arena formed by a complex array formation, covering only a few miles in diameter. At a single glance, Chen Fei could see Zhu Guannu not far away.
Naturally, Zhu Guannu also spotted Chen Fei and charged straight toward him.
The power enhanced by the Profound Origin Pearl, although Zhu Guannu could control it, wasn’t his own. Thus, it was constantly dissipating.
If he didn’t use it within a short period, this power would eventually go to waste.
Zhu Guannu’s speed was extremely fast, much faster than an average First Tier of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator. In just a moment, he covered several miles, and the distance between him and Chen Fei was less than a mile.
The grin on Zhu Guannu’s face widened. According to what Mo Shiyi and the others had said, Chen Fei’s agility had been nothing special during the Flag Capture Competition.
Therefore, facing Chen Fei, Zhu Guannu had an absolute advantage in combat, allowing him to come and go as he pleased.
“So fast!”
Outside the Blood Battle arena, Qin Haishan watched Zhu Guannu’s incredible speed and murmured in amazement.
Tong Zhongqiu and the others furrowed their brows and remained silent. They nodded slightly, acknowledging that this level of agility surpassed many, even Qin Haishan himself.
Mo Shiyi and his companions kept their eyes fixed on the Blood Battle arena. If the first move could seriously injure Chen Fei, the outcome would be clear-cut.
Inside the Blood Battle arena, Chen Fei watched as Zhu Guannu approached. A smile appeared on his face as a shadow rose from behind him and merged into his body.
In the next moment, Chen Fei disappeared from his original position and reappeared one mile away.
Zhu Guannu’s eyes widened slightly, and his figure momentarily hesitated.
Not only Zhu Guannu but also Mo Shiyi, Qin Haishan, and the others outside the Blood Battle arena were all momentarily stunned.
This agility… It seemed a little excessive..
