Chapter 100: Chapter 100
Yan Peng's speed was so swift predominantly due not only to his cultivation level and the influence of his Black Peng Martial Soul but also because he had mastered the Triple Wind Force, integrating the Wind Force into his attacks to increase their power, and into his movement technique to increase his speed.
Zhao Letian suddenly realized that the reason he had not been able to grasp the basics of the Body Technique "Carefree Travel" was likely because he had not yet comprehended the Wind Force.
"The way to comprehend both Wind Force and Sword Force should be similar. The first step is to feel the force of nature, especially the power of the wind," thought Zhao Letian and immediately began to carefully sense the air currents around him, which were manifestations of wind power.
Wind, though formless, had tracks to follow, directions to discern, varying strengths and speeds, and countless subtle changes.
As the profound paths were of the same origin and shared common principles, Zhao Letian, having comprehended the Four Layers Sword Force, found it surprisingly easy to understand the Wind Force and quickly sensed the subtle changes in the surrounding air currents.
"By following the wind's trajectory and aligning with its subtle changes, one can naturally act in harmony and comprehend the First Layer Wind Force," Zhao Letian thought to himself as he intentionally harnessed the power of the wind and the natural forces around him while performing the Body Technique "Carefree Travel."
At this moment, after dodging a self-destructing Spiritual Artifact, Yan Peng finally caught up to Zhao Letian. Swinging the Spiritual Artifact claw in his hand, he aimed to grab Zhao Letian's neck, intending to tear through Zhao Letian's throat.
At the critical moment, Zhao Letian's figure flashed, his speed suddenly increased dramatically, and he barely avoided Yan Peng's claw.
"Huh? What happened? Did I misjudge the distance?" Yan Peng was momentarily startled, his face filled with surprise. He did not believe that Zhao Letian's speed could be fast enough to dodge his attack; he thought he had simply miscalculated the attacking distance.
"Zhao Letian, why aren't you exploding Spiritual Artifacts anymore? Have you finally run out? Hmph, now, let's see how you dodge this. Sky Splitting Claw, kill!" Seeing that Zhao Letian had stopped throwing Spiritual Artifacts, Yan Peng scoffed and, while speaking, launched a Martial Technique. A massive True Essence claw emerged from his hand, lunging straight for Zhao Letian.
Just when the enormous claw was about to strike Zhao Letian, his figure flashed again, miraculously dodging the deadly blow.
"That's impossible! With your speed, how could you possibly dodge that? No, this is Wind Force; have you actually mastered the First Layer Wind Force?" Yan Peng cried out incredulously. This time, he saw clearly that Zhao Letian truly dodged using his own speed, not because he had miscalculated the attack distance. The reason was that Zhao Letian had suddenly grasped the First Layer Wind Force.
"It's just the First Layer Wind Force; what's so impossible about it?" Zhao Letian shook his head nonchalantly. Mastering the First Layer Wind Force only brought his speed closer to Yan Peng's, not surpassing him. Thus, he was not yet satisfied and continued to sense the power of wind.
Aboard the Golden Warship, the always composed Sect Master Chu Yunshan slammed the armrest of his throne hard, his eyes revealing a flicker of excitement.
For most people at the second level of true martial cultivation, understanding any force, even just one layer, is a significant achievement. Yet, Zhao Letian had already comprehended the Four Layers Sword Force, which was extraordinary enough, and now he had realized the power of a second type of force, making him a genius among geniuses.
Only at this moment did Sect Master Chu Yunshan fully confirm that Zhao Letian's talent was extraordinary, lacking only in cultivation level.
"Good job, apprentice, you haven't disappointed your master." Sword Obsession also revealed a look of approval in his eyes. His vision was no less than that of the Sect Master, in his view, Zhao Letian mastering the Four Layers Sword Force was just sufficient to qualify as his disciple, and only now with the mastery of the Wind Force does he consider him a satisfactory disciple.
At the same time, the Guardian Elders beside the Sect Master looked at Zhao Letian with even more fervor.
In the sky, Liu Wei and the Five Tigers of the Star Sea saw that the battle situation had finally improved, and they all showed faces of joy.
Conversely, Liu Fei's expression once again became gloomy, as if even if Yan Peng couldn't kill Zhao Letian, she would have an even bigger headache. Tosupportourwork,pleasereadon*.
"Zhao Letian, I thought I had already given you enough importance, but I didn't expect that I still underestimated you. Just by mastering the First Layer Wind Force, your speed has almost caught up to mine. If I let you continue to understand it, wouldn't you surpass me? I will never allow such a thing to happen. No one can compare with my speed when I have the Black Peng Martial Soul. So, just go die!" Yan Peng stared at Zhao Letian, said coldly, and then with a violent shake of his True Essence Feather, he rushed towards Zhao Letian with the fastest speed.
Zhao Letian, without another word, waved his hand and threw out several Spiritual Artifacts towards Yan Peng, which exploded upon self-destructing, while he dodged.
Even though he mastered the First Layer Wind Force, his speed was still a bit slower compared to Yan Peng, and he could only delay time by using the self-destructing Spiritual Artifacts, continuing to sense the Wind Force.
"Damn it! Zhao Letian, if you are capable, stop and fight me face-to-face. Only knowing how to dodge, what kind of genius are you?" Yan Peng was both anxious and angry, extremely frustrated in his heart, not expecting Zhao Letian to still have Spiritual Artifacts.
Although he dodged the explosion of those Spiritual Artifacts, his speed was affected, allowing Zhao Letian to escape again. If he had extra Spiritual Artifacts on him, he would have also wished to throw a few, letting Zhao Letian constantly taste the flavor of exploding Spiritual Artifacts.
As soon as Yan Peng finished speaking, Zhao Letian actually stopped dodging, his fingertips condensed True Essence Sword Light, accompanied by bouts of Dragon Roar, and rushed straight up.
"Good timing!" Yan Peng's eyes showed a hint of surprise, he swung his claws to meet the attack, thinking to himself that Zhao Letian was still too young, slightly provoked and he fell for it, daring to confront him head-on meant certain death for Zhao Letian.
But unexpectedly, just as they were about to clash, Zhao Letian suddenly shifted his figure, with inconceivable speed, instantly moved to Yan Peng's side, swinging his fingertip sword light, cleaving into Yan Peng.
Violent True Essence Power spread out, a large patch of black feathers on Yan Peng's body was blasted away, leaving behind a deep sword mark, blood spurted out, and he was blown away to the edge of the arena.
"Yan Peng is actually injured? Could the battle situation be reversed?"
The crowd exclaimed, unlike being injured by the self-destruction of Spiritual Artifacts before, this time Yan Peng was injured in direct combat with Zhao Letian, which normally meant, Zhao Letian's strength had indeed surpassed Yan Peng.
"Double Wind Force? Impossible! No matter how unmatched you are, it's not possible to understand two layers of Wind Force continuously in one battle. Zhao Letian, are you really human or a ghost?" Fear appeared in Yan Peng's eyes, his worst fear had ultimately occurred, not having resolved the fight at the earliest opportunity, he really gave Zhao Letian a chance to turn the tables.
