Chapter 408: Meteor Ball Training Complete! (First Update)
Inside the secret chamber, Xia Fei was currently fighting 1286 meteor balls. These colorful balls of light were sometimes big and sometimes small, sometimes bright and sometimes dim. Sometimes, they would stop in front of Xia Fei to provoke him, but when Xia Fei was about to catch them, they would quickly leave. Their movements were very strange and very hard to catch.
After reaching the Legendary rank, Xia Fei's speed had increased by more than three times, which also increased the level of the meteor ball training. In a short span of twenty days, Xia Fei had gone from level 2 training to level 5! The numerous meteors flying in the air were the best proof of this.
Speed alone was not enough to fight against these cunning meteor balls. One also needed sharp reflexes, nimble and erratic movement techniques, as well as exceptional analytical thinking ability.
It could be said that this meteor ball training was a comprehensive upgrade for both the body and the brain. Compared to the past, Xia Fei's Crafty Approach was even more incredible. Putting aside the fact that his movements were fast, those large twisting movements that exceeded the limits of his body were something that even Phantom would lament upon seeing.
Xia Fei's current Crafty Approach was inherited from the Assassin Sect, but it was many times better than before. It had already become a school of its own! In a sense, it would not be an exaggeration to call Xia Fei the founder of the new generation of Crafty Approach!
Compared to the Assassin Sect's Crafty Approach, Xia Fei's Crafty Approach was more like a super version. Those who were familiar with this technique might be able to see traces of Crafty Approach, but Xia Fei's technique was already very different from before. It could even be said that he had been reborn!
If the Assassin Sect's Crafty Approach was like a patch of soil, then Xia Fei's Crafty Approach was like a towering tree that grew out of that soil! Absorbing the nutrients from Crafty Approach, coupled with the photosynthesis of the meteors, and Xia Fei's meticulous care for the tree, a brand new, super strong, and top-notch technique was born!
Xia Fei's new Crafty Approach was exquisite, but not everyone could learn it. This was because the basic requirements were too high. Aside from Xia Fei, no one else in this world could possibly succeed.
* Snap! *
The last of the 1286 meteors was finally caught in Xia Fei's palm, and the level 5 meteor ball training was officially completed!
Xia Fei used his sleeve to wipe the sweat off his face as he waited for the Level 6 training to begin.
Phantom was overjoyed. "Xia Fei, you can now give your Crafty Approach a new name and tell the world that it's a new cultivation technique that you've created! Absolutely! "
Xia Fei silently nodded, calmly saying, There's no need to go through all that trouble. I'm not planning on teaching this new technique to anyone, either.
Phantom shook his head and said, "How can you say that? If we were to talk about the grade of this cultivation technique, it would at least be evaluated as Heaven Tier, or even Universe Tier. Since you're the creator of this cultivation technique, then you can be called the founder of a sect! There's a huge difference in status between a martial grandmaster and an ordinary warrior. "
Grandmaster? Xia Fei muttered to himself. What use is that? A title can't increase my combat power. Even if I'm not a Grandmaster, those who deserve to die will still die. "
Confidence? Domineering? Arrogance?
Phantom rubbed his chin in confusion. Xia Fei's temperament seemed to have changed a little from before. That cold and bloodthirsty aura he exuded was getting stronger, and his confidence had also greatly increased.
After waiting for several minutes and not seeing the Level 6 training begin, Xia Fei wondered if the meteor ball device had run out of energy. This device required Hearts of Spirit to operate, and Xia Fei had placed a Purple Heart of Spirit inside. Logically speaking, there should be no reason for it to run out so quickly.
Walking closer, Xia Fei suddenly noticed that there were a few more lines of words on the box, meaning that the meteor ball training had been completed, and he could choose any level and training method he wanted.
Xia Fei shrugged. He felt that he still had room for improvement, yet the meteor ball training had been completed without him even realizing it. He had a feeling that it was not over yet.
Phantom laughed. Your Crafty Approach has already reached Grandmaster rank, and your meteor ball has also reached its limit. Perhaps this is as far as the ancient civilization's technology goes.
Xia Fei nodded and silently walked out of the room.
"Crafty Approach was originally the first technique you completed cultivating, but now that you've relied on the meteor ball to push Crafty Approach to a different level, it goes to show that whether it's rank or martial arts technique, the realm you can reach isn't fixed," Phantom said.
Xia Fei replied, "I've been thinking about this, too. The endpoint of a martial arts journey seems to be related to the position of a warrior. You mentioned a long time ago that my Crafty Approach has already reached perfection, and I'm considered a first-rate expert even in the Assassin Sect, but what happened after I got my hands on the meteor ball?"
Phantom mused. "After you obtained the meteor ball, you've already raised your Crafty Approach to a level that surpasses all the previous sect masters of the Assassin Sect. Even the strongest Crafty Approach cultivator in the history of the Assassin Sect would have to admit defeat."
Xia Fei asked, "What's the reason? Isn't it because the meteor ball is a training tool produced by the ancient civilization, and the ancient civilization's technology and martial arts standards are far superior to today's Pan-Human Alliance? That's why I have the opportunity to cultivate a martial art technique that surpasses the standards of the entire Pan-Human Alliance. There's also my speed ability. You mentioned before that it's the most difficult to cultivate out of all the abilities, and once it reaches Legendary rank, it'll cause the entire Pan-Human Alliance to turn their heads.
"Now that my speed ability has reached Legendary rank, it's indeed rare in the entire Pan-Human Alliance, but what about the ancient civilization? What would happen if I were in the circle of the super experts that Yujiang mentioned? "
Phantom was silent for a moment. "That's right. The path of martial arts is like climbing a mountain. Only by climbing to the top will you be able to see the higher peaks in the distance. As for which mountain is the highest, only those who climb to the very top will know. Those at the bottom will forever be blinded by the precipitous cliffs.
"No matter what, your speed ability has already reached Legendary rank, and your Sly Thrust technique and Beast Spirit Codex are all top-notch in the entire Pan-Human Alliance. Even your mental control isn't bad. As for where the highest peak is, you'll find out one day, so it's best if you don't belittle yourself."
Xia Fei shook his head. "I'm not belittling myself by saying all this; I'm just looking forward to the future."
"Looking forward to it?"
"The circle of experts that Yujiang mentioned and the mysterious Three Great Laws make me look forward to it very much."
"Then why did you reject their request? Isn't learning the Three Great Laws a good thing?"
"You don't understand. I still have a lot of things weighing me down. Learning the Three Great Laws is indeed a good thing, but I also know that if a warrior wishes to rapidly improve, they must cast aside all the things weighing them down.
"If I had agreed back then and let them be, I wouldn't have been able to rest easy. Quantum Holdings, Uncle Porter, old man Qin Mangs, my home planet Earth, all of these things are holding me back. Even if I really had the chance to learn the Three Great Laws, there's no way I could devote myself wholeheartedly to cultivation. When my heart is in a mess, I'm sure you understand this point."
Phantom smiled. "Your considerations are indeed more thorough than mine. Cultivating half-heartedly will make it easy for you to go berserk, and when that time comes, you won't even have a place to cry. It might seem like you rejected an opportunity, but in reality, you're paving the way for a better future."
"Martial arts is all about progressing step by step. No matter how talented you are, blindly advancing won't end well. Learning the esoteric Three Great Laws while your home is still being ravaged by the flames of war won't end well for anyone."
"I support you! Use these three years to finish what you want to do, and then move on! "
The two spoke as they made their way to the command deck. Ever since the last time, Phantom had not mentioned Avrils again, and neither had Xia Fei. Xia Fei had already displayed enough patience and perseverance to move forward without being struck down by his sorrow. Of course, Phantom was not going to invite a rebuff and purposely reopen his scars.
Everyone had scars in their hearts that could not be erased. Being able to move forward with scars was the most admirable. Those who stayed behind and licked their wounds would be eliminated sooner or later. This was the case on Earth, and it was even more so in this dangerous universe.
Vampire's command deck was much narrower than the Impaler's. After all, the Impaler was a battlecruiser, while Vampire was a frigate. There was a difference of two classes, and it should be mentioned that Vampire was usually stored in the Impaler's hold, which was a testament to the huge difference in size between the two.
Ever since he had been chased by Duabi's men, Xia Fei had been searching for a suspicious signal source. He had a decent foundation in machinery, so he very quickly discovered the only flaw in the Ostamel cloaking device.
Warships needed to warp in space, and the larger the warship, the more energy it would consume to open a temporary wormhole, making it easier to be discovered.
Though the Ostamel cloaking device could open a secret wormhole, the Impaler's massive energy requirements would produce fluctuations. This energy fluctuation signal was very different from the signal emitted by ordinary warships, and the moment an enemy discovered it, it would be very easy for them to track it.
Xia Fei discovered this flaw, but he did not have any suitable materials to fix it. Thus, he suddenly had an idea and parked the Impaler in a hidden magnetic field in space. He then piloted Vampire back into the warehouse to take his revenge on the insectoids. The Black Bat radar was already damaged, so Xia Fei removed the transmission unit and installed it on Vampire, just in case something happened to the Alliance. Dismantling it would be too much work, and the radar was already ninety percent damaged, so it could not be used even if it was removed.
Fortunately, the Black Bat radar used a modular structure, and the transmission unit was only the size of a mooncake box. It could be directly attached to an ordinary radar.
Of course, there was also the Estamel cloaking device. This was the foundation of Xia Fei's survival, so he naturally had to install it as well.
With the help of Lil Pea and those semi-sentient robots, the entire transfer took only three hours. The efficiency was extremely high. These robots, which he had inadvertently obtained, had already become Xia Fei's capable assistants, and they would always be useful at crucial moments.
Vampire was small and nimble, and with the special effects of the Estamel cloaking device, what planet was defended by three fleets? Stealthily breaking through their defenses was nothing!
While the insectoids were guessing whether Xia Fei would accept Arendaz's challenge or not, Vampire had already arrived. Xia Fei had calmly killed him and then left without leaving a single trace.
