Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 23 Mist Sword and Power Strike

"Boom! Boom!"

The two flying saucers soared into the sky and finally left the monster town.

Bai Yang carried three boxes in his hands and walked out of the conference room.

He was slightly taken aback when he stepped outside; the room outside the conference room was packed with people.

Most of the prospective martial artists who came to participate in the practical assessment this time did not leave, but chose to stay and watch.

What exactly is this examiner named Bai Yang, who has three heads and six arms?

Luo Feng and Yang Wu were standing at the front of the crowd. When they saw him come out, they immediately came over to help.

Bai Yang had no choice but to give the other two alloy combination lock cases to the two of them, since he had to keep the "Huashan Sword" himself.

Each of the three of them carried one, making walking much easier.

A number of aspiring martial artists gathered around him, trying to stop him and ask him questions.

"Click-clack," followed by a series of gunshots as a weapon was cocked.

General Tie, with a cold face, led the soldiers stationed there to pour out from the surrounding area.

They formed two human walls to clear a path for them.

Anyone who wants to get close to them has to get past the armed soldiers first; this is no joke.

As thousands of people silently watched them go, the three felt an indescribable unease. They quickly ran into their train compartment, closed the door, and waited to go home.

"Phew! We're finally up. Brother Baiyang, this was terrifying!" Luo Feng said, still shaken, looking at the crowd outside the window that refused to leave.

"That's really scary, Brother Bai. Take a few days to rest. We'll come to the main city to find you in a couple of days after we update the data," Yang Wu added.

Bai Yang readily agreed. Today's gains were truly substantial, and he just wanted to get home as soon as possible to take stock of them.

Along the way, everyone was too tired to talk.

At the same time, various messages were being sent from the sky to all parts of the world, causing waves of excitement.

-

Bai Yang took a breath and slumped onto the sofa. Finally, they were in the dormitory!

If Principal Wei hadn't sent someone to meet us beforehand, it really wouldn't have been so easy for us to come back.

Is this the trouble of being a celebrity?

Bai Yang felt a mix of secret pleasure and annoyance.

Yes, these kinds of things are indeed troublesome, so it's best to avoid them if possible.

I got up, opened the refrigerator, and took out a bottle of chilled drink.

Bai Yang swiftly opened the three boxes.

I need to use the "Huashan Sword" daily, but I can't carry the box with me all the time, so I keep it in my dorm room.

Normally, you can wrap it in one of the cloth bags that come with it and carry it on your shoulder.

I don't know what this fabric is, but it's incredibly strong; there's absolutely no need to worry about it getting damaged.

One box contained a set of 9-series combat suits, with a full price of approximately 120 billion Chinese yuan.

It was said to be able to withstand attacks from lord-level monsters, but for him, it was practically useless.

There were also some miscellaneous items such as backpacks and watches.

Compared to other things, the value of this kind of thing is just an extra, so no one specifically talked to him about it.

In the other box was the complete text of "Mist Sword".

Unlike the content that everyone can freely exchange, the set that Jia Yi gave away was a true complete set!

In addition to the normal cultivation content, there were also some notes from his old friend, the founder Linghu Yi.

Bai Yang only needed to glance at it to know that this was the original.

The handwriting inside is exactly the same as the text engraved on the box.

He first went through the systematic books, and then watched the accompanying video materials.

Finally, when I looked at that notebook again, it was clear that it was completely unsystematic and contained many far-fetched ideas.

There is virtually no chance of successfully cultivating it.

However, some of the ideas that come to mind are indeed original and unique.

This person was probably used to being careless and clumsy, and before he could properly organize himself, he died prematurely.

Bai Yang closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, confirming that this place indeed had extraordinary value, and decided to look back at it from time to time.

Next, it was time to formally begin practicing the "Mist Sword" technique.

Although it has a low rating, "Mist Sword" is the strongest martial art of the Huashan sect, and it fully includes swordsmanship, movement techniques, and guiding techniques.

As for the movement techniques, Bai Yang glanced at them a few times, recalled the video footage, and then considered it a complete mastery.

The powerful figure shown in the video possesses the strength of a high-level war god.

But to be honest, Bai Yang really thought his actions were both stupid and clumsy.

At a glance, you can see at least seven or eight shortcomings; there's really nothing to learn from it.

He glanced at the instruction manual, which mentioned that this person's movement technique was actually at the "artistic level".

Bai Yang then realized that he might have misunderstood the current state of existence on Earth.

Unknowingly, he got stuck in a rut and began to understand to some extent how much Jia Yi valued him.

The basic principle of guiding techniques is to raise the upper limit of cellular absorption of cosmic energy.

Hong created nine sets of top-notch guiding techniques, claiming to be the strongest in the world.

Bai Yang tried cultivating it briefly, but felt that the effect was not obvious.

Because of his freakish transformation, his absorption power was already terrifyingly strong, so the benefits of his guiding technique were not really apparent.

The efficiency of autonomously absorbing cosmic energy is simply negligible compared to using medicines such as Herbal Spirits and Wood Crystals.

Trying to become stronger using this method is far too inefficient.

Just practice a little every night. Once you join the War God Camp, you'll have the chance to exchange for a copy of Hong's Guiding Techniques to refer to.

My focus in training should still be on sword techniques and moves.

With the Huashan Sword in hand, Bai Yang headed to Building 3 in the East District.

This place is big enough, perfect for him to do his best.

The complete "Mist Sword" manual is divided into seven levels, and the first level alone requires the practitioner to learn 81 sword techniques.

The second level doubles the number of moves, requiring 162 moves.

By the time you reach the sixth level, you'll need 2592 moves.

The highest level, the seventh level, requires integrating all 5103 previous moves into the thirty-six moves.

However, even after mastering the entire sword technique, the power multiplier is only a mere three times.

Bai Yang was secretly astonished; this was clearly the style of ancient swordsmanship.

It is fundamentally different from the modern style that emphasizes the coordination of power and speed.

If ancient swordsmanship was more targeted at individuals, emphasizing ever-changing techniques and stopping short of direct confrontation.

Modern swordsmanship is more targeted at monsters, emphasizing the level of power exertion and a thunderous strike.

It's understandable that such a technique wouldn't be highly regarded.

Bai Yang possessed an unparalleled memory; once he picked up the Huashan Sword, he began practicing from the first level's 81 moves.

The first time, he only cared about the correct posture and didn't care about the power at all. He spent only two hours practicing all 5139 moves.

He sat down cross-legged and began to consider the connections between these sword techniques.

With his level of swordsmanship, there are many moves he doesn't need to learn at all.

He could unleash considerable power right from the start. What he wanted was to learn how to use hidden force from these sword techniques to increase the power multiplier.

He was very familiar with the original work and knew from the beginning that there were two key tips.

First, it's about maintaining a proper balance of muscle relaxation and strength, a combination of softness and firmness. Only when needed should this internal power be released, ensuring the body can withstand the strain.

Secondly, there's the entire body's muscles and bones through which the hidden force is transmitted. All muscles in the body should participate in the exertion of hidden force, not just the hands and feet.

Once mastered, any part of the body can exert the same multiple of force.
