Chapter 76: Targeting the Second-Ranked Martial Skill!

  After watching Star Power, Xia Lin's mind returned and she woke up clear-headed.

  "Ah!"

  Xia Lin opened her eyes with a start, and after taking a clear look, she could only sigh and say, "I'm telling you, big sister, can't you not scare people like this every time?"

  Yuè Lián still stared at him: "Your strength... seems to have reached Cyclone Ninth Layer."

  Yu Lian was shocked.

  She is almost the same as Xia Lin's Lingcao, three Xuanlingcao, one Ningxuecao. However, she rose from Qixuan Seventh Layer to Qixuan Ninth Layer, and then reached the peak of Qixuan, finally strengthening her body. It can be said that she has made rapid progress! If not for her extraordinary talent, ordinary people would not have been able to rise so much. Perhaps three Xuanlingcao may not necessarily increase one layer.

  But after she used the coagulant grass, when she turned back to look at Xia Lin, she was naturally shocked. From the second layer of the vortex to the ninth layer, it was only a matter of reaching the peak of the ninth layer.

  "Hmm." Xia Lin responded vaguely, refining blood for nine layers and air rotation for nine layers, well, about the same.

  "One day, you'll be struck by the eighth level, aren't you afraid that you'll never be able to enter the Condensed Sea Realm for the rest of your life?" Yuelian said seriously.

  Xia Lin glanced at her and seemed to be thinking when would this young lady ever care about others?

  "But he just smiled and said: 'Don't worry, it's okay.'"

  Yu Lian said two sentences with a frown, as if thinking of something: "Not right... Congxuecao only enhances physical quality, how did you also enhance your realm, and by so much!"

  Yes, the more Moon Lotus thinks about it, the more she feels something is off.

  Didn't Xia Lin just say that Congxuecao only enhances one's physical body?

  How come again...

  Xia Lin awkwardly smiled and thought for a moment before saying, "It's probably related to the cultivation method I'm using."

  "En." Yu Lian nodded and stopped asking, as cultivation methods were each person's private matter. Unless they were extremely close, asking would be too abrupt.

  Intimacy?

  Just thinking about the crisis earlier, when the two of them held hands, Yuelian suddenly had a strange thought - if she asked Shialin what kind of cultivation method he was practicing, would he tell her? And if he did, wouldn't that be intimate?

  "What's wrong?" Xia Lin looked at Yu Lian who seemed a bit dazed.

  "It's nothing." Yu Lian came back to herself and said calmly, "Since we've already finished cultivating, let's head back. We've seen too many three-grade and four-grade spiritual herbs today. If we don't go back now, they'll start worrying."

  "Alright."

  Xia Lin nodded silently and then looked at Yuelian: "Yao Lian, that... never mind, I'll just call you Lian'er instead."

  Yao Lian... obviously knows she's called Yue Lian, but still calls her Yao Lian, it always feels a bit off, however, calling her Yue Lian is even worse, might as well just call her Lian'er.

  Yu Lian's body paused slightly before she said, "Do as you wish."

  After finishing speaking, Yuelian walked out, and Shalian followed her with a gentle smile.

  Just before leaving the cave, Xia Lin turned back to look at the cold pool, and thought of the several times his blood energy and spiritual power had been impacted by those so-called spirit grasses. Were they really hidden deep within the cold pool?

  Now Xia Lin didn't believe it at all!

  Something grows out of the depths of the cold pond every now and then, fooling ghosts away.

  Even if you can grow automatically, what about the seeds?

  It's all about the mysterious spirit grass, but if the fantasy dream spirit and blood condensing grass really appeared in the depths of the cold pool, they wouldn't be able to grow at all. Moreover, these things are all in large quantities, from that patch of forest near the small mountain village, you can tell. A little pollen can make the small mountain village produce countless trees that produce dream powder, let alone fantasy dream spirit?

  Undoubtedly, in the depths of the icy pool, there are even more mysterious secrets - those that not even the Yin-Yang Mountains know. My current strength is too weak... When my strength increases later, I will definitely come here to take a look, what kind of secrets are hidden here!

  Xia Lin muttered to herself and then turned around and left.

  It was already very late when they returned to the Yin Yang Mountain, and this time it took a whole day. What left Xia Lin speechless was that after leaving the stalactite cave, Yu Lian became cold again, and soon after they didn't walk far, she flashed away, saying she went to report to Old Lady Yao.

  "Alright, at least it's explained now." Xia Lin shrugged and said.

  Summer is approaching but he's not in a hurry, strolling back and forth while thinking about some things.

  No matter what, this is the Divine Continent, where martial power is supreme. However, what represents martial power is not just one's boundary, but rather the actual increase in strength. Today, I've made a breakthrough to the 9th layer of Blood Refining, and it seems like the next boundary is just a step away, but in reality, it's still 108,000 miles apart.

  Lingcao's upgrade has transcended boundaries, and even the consequences of Xia Lin using Lingcao to condense medicine power are no longer a concern. However, there is one thing that Lingcao cannot help with, and that is martial arts techniques!

  From the completion of the mountain trial to now, it's only been a few days, relying on the help of the spiritual grass, his realm has risen rapidly, but so far, the moves he has mastered are still only Lingfeng Palm. This move, which was already mastered in the tempering period, is the only one besides this, there is nothing else.

  "Could it be that I've taken a wrong turn?" Xia Lin thought to himself with some solemnity.

  Unlike others, he has the path of a warrior that has been proven to be correct for thousands of years, and even provides several direction options, but he doesn't! The road he takes is different from everyone else's, so only he can decide how to go. In this process, it is inevitable to make mistakes in the guessing process, and then return to re-walk after walking wrong.

  "Nowadays, although the strength seems to have increased greatly, it has only improved in terms of attack power, and other aspects are still far behind. More importantly, the might of these powers can't be brought into play at all!" Xia Lin thought with some trepidation.

  During the tempering period, a perfect Lingfeng Palm technique showcased his powerful innate advantages, making him invincible against enemies! Although he was weak in strength, he could often burst out with power far surpassing his own, which is the overbearing aura of Lingfeng Palm. A well-matched martial art can exhibit extremely terrifying power.

  But what about the cultivators who have advanced?

  First and foremost, it's about condensing the soul, successfully entering the realm of separation from the soul, becoming a cultivator of the mind, which has increased his strength to some extent, allowing him to exert his own strength better. For someone with weak innate talent in cultivating the mind like him, the emergence of the soul is currently just equivalent to a powerful move.

  Now that I think about it, there are still many things to develop for Nian. Although cultivating the power of the stars is definitely very slow for him, at least, Nian techniques must be learned!

  Imagine, when Zuo Haotian first stirred up a storm of thoughts, it almost made the world lose its color. At that time, Zuo Haotian had just entered the Ling Hun realm. If he could grasp a suitable thought technique, his own strength would definitely be able to achieve the greatest explosion.

  After all, for him now, the state of reciting souls is the manifestation of his strongest state!

  Secondly, the Blood Refining Realm has unlimited ascension. At the 9th layer of Blood Refining, 98 acupoints have been broken through, and only 10 are left to reach perfect connection! When these last 10 acupoints are completed, the first layer of Breaking Heaven Technique will be finished, forming a perfect circuit. His strength will rise again!

  At that time, you can practice the second layer of the Broken Sky Technique, and maybe even new secret techniques will appear.

  "Martial skills, mental skills, secret skills..." Xia Lin's eyes flashed with enlightenment as he finally understood what he was supposed to learn at this moment.

  He now has a strong power, but no way to show it!

  For ordinary warriors, it may be possible to touch a first-class martial art only after reaching the realm of gas rotation, and then slowly improve and settle down. Everyone masters one or two sets of first-class martial arts. However, after their strength is improved, they will not be limited to first-class martial arts, but will study second-class martial arts in various ways. Although it is very difficult, if successful, mastering one or two killer moves can make them live longer.

  "If that's the case... when fighting against a martial artist, if you provoke them, a second-rate martial art will come down..." Xia Lin thought about it and felt a chill run down his spine.

  The power of a first-rate martial art was already very clear to him, especially the top-notch Lingfeng Palm. As for second-rate martial arts, they were obviously even more powerful. If he encountered such an opponent in his current state, what would happen?

  The answer is, it's terrible!

  In an instant, a strong sense of crisis spread throughout his body, also making Xia Lin wake up from the empty pride after advancing to the ninth layer of Blood Refining.

  "One product of martial arts with Lingfeng Palm is enough, I want to learn two products of martial arts... Two products of martial arts!" Xia Lin muttered to himself, his mind already made up, and as soon as he had time, he would go find a second-rate martial art!

  But where to find it? Martial arts moves are always precious things, let alone second-rate ones. Suddenly, Xia Lin's eyes lit up, what was he thinking, isn't this readily available? His father and the great elder were all at the peak of the Condensing Sea Realm, they must have had second-rate martial arts, just ask them directly.

  For a moment, Xia Lin's enthusiasm was overwhelming, and if it weren't for the fact that it was already very late now, he would have gone to find his father immediately.

  "Bang Bang——"

  His ears perked up, and the sound of footsteps approached from afar. Xia Lin came to his senses, lifted his head, and saw two sisters from Yin Yang Mountain pinning down a young man who looked like a noble son. The young man was tightly bound by ropes and struggled non-stop. Unfortunately, with only three layers of tempered body, he was so powerless in the hands of the two sisters with six layers of tempered body.

  "Huh? What's going on here?" Xia Lin asked strangely.

  The two girls hesitated for a moment, and one of them said, "This is the main village."

  Xia Lin suddenly thought of something, furrowed his brow and asked: "Didn't I say to let go of all the people she caught?!"

  "Uh..." The two girls hesitated.

  Xia Lin shook his head helplessly, he didn't want to show off in front of the two young disciples, so he waved his hand: "You guys go down and tell Ya Nu that I'll take this person away."

  "Yes." The two women exchanged a glance and then retreated. At this time, the Yin Yang Mountain had joined the Black Wind Fort, so naturally they would follow the rules.
