Cultivation: Start From Simplifying Martial Arts Techniques

The Evil Clan’s imperial sovereign Kou Fen heard Chen Fei’s words and his eyes narrowed slightly, then suddenly burst into laughter, saying,

“We Evil Clans don’t have that many Rule Crystals on hand, but if you have the guts, defeat one of my clan’s early-stage Rule Integration Realm members, and you can choose any one of these items!”

As Kou Fen spoke, he waved his hand, and dozens of spiritual materials floated above the Celestial Wood.

The spiritual materials specially collected by an Emperor Realm powerhouse were basically all top-grade sixth-tier, and even the occasional mid-grade ones were rare and powerful.

Flowing Arrow Soil, blue-golden stone, Jade Flowing Bead…

Chen Fei looked up at these spiritual materials, each of which would be enough to provoke a fierce competition among many cultivators in the Rule Integration Realm if they appeared in the outside world.

They were either materials that could be used to cast top-grade mystical treasures or aids that could help cultivators in the Rule Integration Realm comprehend fragments of rules, or even increase the chances of a breakthrough at a cultivation bottleneck.

Although these spiritual materials were not as good as Rule Crystals, they were definitely rare treasures.

“These spiritual materials are very good, but compared to Rule Crystals, they really are…”

“Hahaha!”

Above the Celestial Wood, Weng Zongfang and Tang Yunshou laughed loudly, especially when they saw Kou Fen’s dark expression of anger, their laughter became even more heartily.

Being blocked by the Ice Race and Evil Clans outside Jiguang City was definitely a frustrating situation.

Particularly after Si Sheng had killed five early-stage Rule Integration Realm members in a row, it made Weng Zongfang and Tang Yunshou feel somewhat helpless.

Those from the human race who originally agreed to duel Si Sheng were quite confident in their own abilities.

Weng Zongfang and Tang Yunshou could not simply send Rule Integration Realm cultivators to their deaths for nothing, but in a fight between cultivators of the same rank, especially among those in the same realm, sometimes the outcome can only be known after the battle unfolds.

There are many factors that can affect the outcome of a battle.

Just like how Chen Fei decapitated Si Sheng with a single sword strike earlier, who would have expected such a swift reversal in the situation?

Kou Fen turned his head to glance at Ao An beside him, who shook his head. He did not have any Rule Crystals.

Rule Crystals significantly enhanced the strength of those in the Rule Integration Realm, and with such treasures at hand, they were usually given away directly as rewards.

Last time, quite a few Rule Crystals were obtained from the Glass Space, but after so much time, even the Ice Race no longer had any stock left.

Kou Fen’s brows were tightly furrowed; in truth, he only had one Rule Crystal left as well, so he could not fulfill the offer of one Rule Crystal for defeating an early-stage Rule Integration Realm member of the Evil Clans.

“Youngster, then what do you suggest?” Kou Fen said with a solemn tone.

Kou Fen could tell that Chen Fei held himself in high regard, and as long as the stakes were high enough, he could indeed be convinced to continue the challenge on the battlefield.

Killing Chen Fei, the best opportunity might just be this time.

If they missed this chance, Chen Fei would almost never leave the sight of the human imperial sovereign again, and it would be much harder to find an opportunity to kill him alone.

As far as how much spiritual material to offer, Kou Fen was not too concerned; those materials didn’t have much effect on someone of his cultivation realm.

“There must be Rule Crystals, and if there aren’t enough Rule Crystals, for every Evil Clan member I kill, I pick three of these spiritual materials!” Chen Fei stopped in his tracks and looked at Kou Fen.

At this moment, Chen Fei needed to display a certain attitude, one that valued money over life.

“What a big appetite, don’t choke on it!”

Kou Fen snorted coldly and turned to look at the ranks of the Evil Clan and Ice Race, speaking in a deep voice,

“Wu Luo, step forward!”

As Kou Fen’s words fell, a figure flew out from the ranks of the Evil Clan and Ice Race and came to the forefront.

“If you win against him, this Rule Crystal is yours, and if you win another round, you can then choose three more spiritual materials from these!”

A Rule Crystal appeared in Kou Fen’s hand as he pushed forward the other dozens of spiritual materials.

Sixth-grade spiritual materials inherently contained fragments of rules, and as Kou Fen released the sealing, the materials began resonating with the rules in the surrounding space, emitting a hazy glow.

Chen Fei said nothing, turning his head to look at Wu Luo of the Evil Clan, and after a moment of observation, he shook his head.

“This won’t do, it’s clear he has been cultivating for thousands of years; fighting him puts me at too much of a disadvantage.”

Without a real exchange of blows, Chen Fei couldn’t discern Wu Luo’s exact cultivation level, but through a vague sense, this Evil Clan member should be at the peak of the early-stage Rule Integration Realm.

“So you expect us to find someone weaker than Si Sheng for you to kill easily? You, a human youngster, sure have some clever ideas!”

Kou Fen stared at Chen Fei and suddenly burst out with a cold laugh.

“If you’re willing, that would be the best.”

Chen Fei was indifferent to Kou Fen’s mockery, pointing at Wu Luo, and said,

“However, you misunderstood what I just said. It’s not that I can’t fight him, but there needs to be extra payment. In addition to one Rule Crystal, three more portions of spiritual materials!” Chen Fei declared loudly.

“Chen Fei, don’t be impulsive!”

Upon hearing Chen Fei’s words, Weng Zongfang’s brow furrowed, and he quickly sent a telepathic message.

Wu Luo’s aura was impressive, and compared to a prodigy like Si Sheng who had cultivated for less than a hundred years, while his talent might not match, his battle strength was certainly a notch higher.

Chen Fei’s recent victory over Si Sheng had involved some risky moves and had there been any negligence, the situation could have been quite different.

Now, the Evil Clan would certainly be prepared for Chen Fei’s tactic, and they would surely fight steadfastly and forcefully put Chen Fei to death.

“Rest assured, Sovereign Emperor, I am well aware of what I’m doing,” Chen Fei responded.

If we don’t hit the Evil Clans hard, they may cut their losses in time, increasing their costs and making it difficult for them to turn back.

If the Evil Clans send another from the Rule Integration Realm, it will undoubtedly be someone stronger than Si Sheng—there’s no doubt about it.

What Chen Fei needed to do was to kill several more of the Evil Clans’ cultivators from the Rule Integration Realm and incidentally plunder more of their talents.

Weng Zongfang hesitated for a moment, exchanged a glance with Tang Yunshou by his side, and eventually did not stop Chen Fei.

The path one chooses is ultimately one’s own; others may warn you, but they cannot make decisions for you.

“Very well!”

Kou Fen did not haggle with Chen Fei and, turning to Wu Luo, said solemnly:

“Wu Luo, kill him, and this Rule Crystal is yours, along with your choice of ten additional spiritual materials!”

Kou Fen directly increased the number of spiritual materials to ten as a reward for Wu Luo.

It is well known that great rewards bring out brave warriors; what Kou Fen needed to do was boost Wu Luo’s morale.

Given the battle strength Chen Fei had just displayed, Wu Luo had a good chance of killing Chen Fei—while not a certainty, at least there was more than an eighty percent likelihood.

“Rest assured, Sovereign Emperor, I will personally twist off this man’s head!”

Upon hearing Kou Fen’s promise, Wu Luo’s eyes suddenly lit up.

One Rule Crystal plus ten portions of sixth-grade top-tier spiritual materials, the value of these items was truly beyond imagination.

Ordinarily, as someone at the early stage of the Rule Integration Realm, he would never have the chance to obtain such treasures.

Even for one portion of sixth-grade top-tier spiritual material, Wu Luo might only have a sliver of chance to obtain it, even if he risked his life for it.

And yet now, by slaying a member of the human race who had broken through to the early stage of the Rule Integration Realm less than two years ago, he could gain all these treasures.

Chen Fei was strong, but he, Wu Luo, was even stronger. He was determined to get that Rule Crystal and the ten portions of spiritual materials!

Weng Zongfang and Kou Fen began to use Rules to sign a betting contract; not to mention the spiritual materials, even Weng Zongfang would worry that Kou Fen might go back on his word regarding the Rule Crystal.

They were naturally enemies, so there was no credit to lose nor flesh to peel off.

Once the betting contract took effect, Wu Luo slightly rotated his wrist.

Tens of miles away, Chen Fei’s brow furrowed slightly, his body sidestepped, and an imperceptible fluctuation shot past where he had originally been standing.

The assault wasn’t over yet; over a hundred dazzling rays of light suddenly appeared around Chen Fei, instantly engulfing him.

Outside Jiguang City, many human cultivators of the Rule Integration Realm couldn’t help but lean forward with some anxiety as they watched the scene unfold before them.

Because this attack came from several hundred miles away and wasn’t directed at them, many cultivators from the mid-stage Rule Integration Realm didn’t even realize where the attack originated from.

In some sense, Wu Luo’s sneak attack was very successful, perfectly timed with the moment the betting contract came into effect.

Just a moment of carelessness could result in being struck immediately.

At the front line, Wu Luo’s face did not show a smile; instead, his brow furrowed slightly.

About a mile from where Chen Fei had been, his figure slowly appeared, completely unharmed.

Chen Fei had perfectly dodged Wu Luo’s sneak attack.

“You’re quite alert,” Wu Luo said to Chen Fei with narrowed eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Luo vanished from his spot and reappeared less than half a mile from Chen Fei, his Snake Spear Hammer smashing down from the air towards Chen Fei.

An enormous shadow of a hammer appeared above Chen Fei’s head, its terrifying power pressing in from all directions, as if it was going to crush the very space to pieces.

Chen Fei slightly raised his eyelids; under the Space Secondary Rules, the space above his head expanded rapidly, and the attack, which should have landed on him in the next instant, was held off indefinitely.

Chen Fei stepped back with his right foot, appearing before Wu Luo, and slashed forward with his Qianyuan Sword.

Wu Luo, watching Chen Fei, glanced down to see a silver thread flash beneath his feet, and his entire body disappeared, reappearing behind Chen Fei, with the Snake Spear Hammer smashing toward Chen Fei’s head.

Chen Fei’s gaze shifted slightly; Wu Luo’s speed of movement was incredibly fast, but it wasn’t the application of Space Rules—otherwise, Chen Fei wouldn’t have been completely unaware.

“Clang!”

Chen Fei flipped the Qianyuan Sword to block behind him, the Snake Spear Hammer striking the blade, making a booming noise.

Chen Fei’s body shook slightly, and he took several involuntary steps forward.

In terms of pure power, Wu Luo was much stronger than Si Sheng, even if perhaps not as skilled in technique; but if Wu Luo fought Si Sheng, the victor would definitely be Wu Luo.

Wu Luo had been cultivating for thousands of years, and such a long period had long erased any gap in talents between him and Si Sheng.

Wu Luo was stronger than Si Sheng, and when Chen Fei received a blow head-on, it made sense for him to be pushed back several steps.

Seeing Chen Fei withstand his blow, with only a slight fluctuation in his breathing, Wu Luo wasn’t in a hurry, and took a step forward, following Chen Fei closely with another hammer blow.

Feeling the surrounding space shaking and expanding intensely, Wu Luo’s eyes burst with sharp light as his Snake Spear Hammer penetrated the changes in the space, striking directly on the Qianyuan Sword.

In the combat of the Rule Integration Realm, the most important was the competition between Rules. Chen Fei could make space expand rapidly, and Wu Luo could equally erode with his own Rules.

“Clang!”

Chen Fei only managed to turn half his body before once again being forced to retreat by the impact of the Snake Spear Hammer.
