(This is the first update. The mysterious sword tip that Chen Zong obtained is not that simple)
"Great Iron Shattering Hand!"
Chen Zong casually waved his left hand. His strength was completely restrained, and the surface of his palm was covered with translucent blood vessels, making his entire palm look like a work of art.
The palm didn't look fast, but it instantly hit the wall of the secret room.
With a bang, the entire secret room shook. A ten inch deep palm print appeared on the wall made of fine iron.
There was a difference of two inches between ten inches and eight inches, but one must know that the deeper one went, the greater the resistance would be. Every inch that one went in would require more power. Thus, the difference of two inches was far greater than the difference of three inches between five inches in Consummation and eight inches in Arcane Refinement.
Without a sword in hand, his current strength was probably even greater than when he was holding a sword.
Immediately after, the Qi and blood that he had used to use the Refinement stage Great Iron Shattering Hand quickly recovered. In just a few short breaths, he had completely recovered.
"What a terrifying recovery speed!" Chen Zong was shocked.
This meant that even if he continuously used martial arts of the same grade, he only needed to grasp the rhythm. He didn't need to worry about running out of Qi and blood, unless he was using martial arts of the Heaven Light and Cloud Shadow Sword.
"Once one's Qi and blood reach the perfection stage and achieve a Seamless Body, the body's natural exhaustion will be completely locked, forming a cycle in the body. This is the secret to maintaining one's peak. At this stage, one's Qi and blood won't decline even if one is fifty or sixty years old," Chen Zong thought to himself. Of course, it wouldn't take that long for him to break through to the Refinement stage.
"Without the Blood Sinking Jade Essence, I can maintain the Blood Boiling Technique for twenty seconds when I'm at the eighth stage of the Qi and Blood realm and the fourth stage of the True Sword Heavenly Supreme Art. At the ninth stage of the Qi and Blood realm, I can maintain it for thirty seconds. Including the fifth stage of the True Sword Heavenly Supreme Art, I can maintain it for sixty seconds.
"Now that I've reached the sixth stage of the True Sword realm, my Qi and blood are ten times purer than before. I wonder if I can use it for six times longer?"
Chen Zong immediately used the Blood Boiling Technique. His skin turned red, and his strength increased greatly. His Qi and blood boiled, constantly being consumed. However, the consumption speed wasn't fast, and the recovery speed was also very fast.
Very quickly, a hundred seconds passed, and Chen Zong ended the Blood Boil Technique.
"With a body full of pure Yang energy, I should be able to maintain the Blood Boiling Technique for at least six hundred seconds. Factoring in my recovery speed, I should be able to maintain it for another two hundred seconds."
"800 seconds!"
Chen Zong could not help but gasp.
In total, it could last for more than 13 minutes. That was terrifying.
Despite his shock, Chen Zong was somewhat dissatisfied.
"The longer the duration of a forbidden art, the better it is. What matters is its might. I'd rather have a shorter duration in exchange for an increase in might."
"The Ignition Blood Technique ignites the blood in one's body for an instant, but it doesn't make much use of the potential of one's blood. The Blood Boiling Technique, on the other hand, heats and boils the blood, making it even more efficient …" Chen Zong couldn't help but think carefully.
Chen Zong's willpower had been tempered by fighting against the terrifying willpower of the Crimson Gold Saber-Toothed Tiger. It had at least doubled in strength. After his cultivation had reached the Great Fulfilment of Qi and blood, he had cultivated the Leakless Body. Even his strengthened willpower had gradually become more complete and transparent. His thinking had become sharper than before, and he could see things more clearly. This was something that no one else could imagine.
After all, it was too difficult to improve one's willpower. There were simply no shortcuts.
Becoming more complete and transparent meant that one's thinking ability had become stronger, and their reactions had become sharper.
As he pondered, Chen Zong continued to analyze the Ignition Blood Technique and the Blood Boiling Technique. Suddenly, the door of the secret room opened. Green Ape Messenger, Kang Yuan, and the others strode in. In addition, Chen Zong also saw Qi Fei.
"Not bad. You did it." Green Ape Messenger smiled when he saw Chen Zong unscathed and the palm print on the wall. "Welcome, Chen Zong."
Ignoring Green Ape Messenger, Chen Zong's gaze swept past Qi Fei. He was a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that Qi Fei was a person who valued personal strength. It was not surprising that he had chosen to join the Black Demon Sect in pursuit of strength.
After all, the Black Demon Sect had wreaked havoc hundreds of years ago. The current martial artists, especially the low-level ones, had very little experience of it. Their resistance and hostility were not as strong.
"Where's Meng Changchun?" Chen Zong asked.
"He's a coward. I can't believe he committed suicide." Qi Fei laughed disdainfully.
"Chen Zong, how much do you feel your strength has increased?" Green Ape Messenger asked.
"I'm not sure." Chen Zong glanced at Green Ape Messenger and replied calmly. His cultivation had reached the peak of the Qi and Blood realm. His strength and willpower had become stronger, and he felt more complete and transparent. He felt more pressure from Green Ape Messenger.
"Green Ape Messenger, let me try." Kang Yuan asked.
"Okay." Green Ape Messenger nodded.
"Demonize." Kang Yuan roared. His aura skyrocketed, and his body suddenly changed. Under Chen Zong's observation, his muscles and bones seemed to break and reassemble in an instant. His body grew taller, and black hair emerged. In the blink of an eye, he had turned into a half-human, half-ape monster. Qi Fei's eyes flashed with excitement.
"Chen Zong, take the Violent Ape Fist!" After demonizing, Kang Yuan's strength increased by at least fifty percent. Among the many disciples of the Black Demon Sect, this kind of increase was relatively high. He was considered an elite.
He punched out, and the force of Qi and Blood surged violently. It was shocking.
This was a very terrifying punch.
Green Ape Messenger and the others looked at Chen Zong. Without his sword, Chen Zong's strength decreased by fifty percent. However, he had merged with the essence of the demon bloodline, so his strength was even stronger. Under such circumstances, no one knew how strong he could be.
Chen Zong was neither too slow nor too fast. His expression was calm and unruffled. He waited until Kang Yuan's Violent Ape Fist was halfway out before the frightening fist pressure pounced towards him. Only then did he lift his left hand and take advantage of the situation to strike out with his palm.
This palm strike was casual, as if it was just a casual strike. It did not contain much power, but the Green Ape Emissary's expression changed slightly. His eyes narrowed. With his Spiritual Will, he could naturally feel that the power contained within was highly reserved. It might not seem strong to him, but in the Vitality realm, it was definitely terrifying.
When Chen Zong struck out, Kang Yuan felt that it was very slow. It was so slow that he could clearly see the trajectory of the palm. He could not help but smile to himself when he saw the blood vessels on the palm. Was this the strength of a top genius after merging with the demon bloodline?
He was too weak. Watch me defeat him with one strike.
Just as the thought came to his mind, his body trembled violently. His chest seemed to have been hit by something, and the pain spread all over his body. That thing had an extremely terrifying power. It exploded in an instant, and he felt like he had been hit by a ten-thousand-pound boulder. His sternum was shattered, and he flew backward.
Blood spurted from his open mouth, mixed with pieces of his internal organs.
The half-human, half-ape Kang Yuan flew back a few meters and hit the wall hard. With a bang, his body trembled again, and he fell to the ground, motionless. The demonization was naturally removed, and there was no breath left.
Killed with one strike!
Qi Fei and the others' expressions changed drastically.
Just now, Kang Yuan had fought with him, and his strength was indeed above his. Yet, Kang Yuan was unable to block a single palm strike from Chen Zong. Furthermore, this was under the condition that Kang Yuan had transformed into his demon form while Chen Zong had not.
This kind of strength was too terrifying.
"Good, good, good!" The Green Ape Emissary said three words in a row.
Although Kang Yuan was his right-hand man and an elite of the Black Demon Disciples, Chen Zong could kill him with one strike. It was enough to prove that Chen Zong was stronger. The Green Ape Emissary had always advocated the strong to rise to the top, and the weak to be eliminated.
"Take care of him." The Green Ape Emissary waved his hand indifferently. Soon, someone took Kang Yuan's body away.
"What about my sword and other things?" Chen Zong asked. The Green Ape Emissary's attitude told him that he had chosen the right path.
The Leakless Body locked his breath and did not leak out. Even the Green Ape Emissary could not sense it. He thought that he had successfully merged with the blood essence of the demon beast, but in fact, he had not. It should be said that the power contained in the blood essence had been completely absorbed by him, and the impurities related to the demon beast had been completely removed.
Chen Zong knew that even so, he was no match for the Green Ape Emissary. If the Green Ape Emissary was serious, one strike would be enough to kill him. It was unwise to resist. He would first numb the Green Ape Emissary, then find a chance to leave this place. Then, he would inform the powerhouses of the Seven Luminaries Martial School to wipe this place out.
The first thing was to take back the sword. Without the sword, his strength was already so weak. With the sword in hand, he would definitely be stronger.
"Come, bring Chen Zong's things." The Green Ape Emissary was very happy and immediately gave the order.
Soon, the fake Froststream Sword, Golden Silk Inner Armor, Blood Jade Essence, Jade Coins, and so on were all delivered to Chen Zong.
When he received the sword again, a familiar feeling arose spontaneously. It seemed to be different from before. Chen Zong wanted to draw the sword and practice it, but the Green Ape Emissary and the others were there, so he restrained this impulse.
"Chen Zong, you are now a member of the Black Demon Sect. From now on, you will contribute all of your strength to the rise of the Black Demon Sect." The Green Ape Emissary said in a domineering tone, "I will arrange a new residence for you. Stay there first and familiarize yourself with your strength. Strive to break through to the Qi Training Realm. When you reach the Qi Training Realm, you may be qualified to fight for the position of one of the three hundred and sixty emissaries. Then, you will be on the same level as me."
Chen Zong did not respond, but nodded.
Seeing Chen Zong like this, the Green Ape Emissary did not say anything. Perhaps the other party still had some resistance now, but it did not matter. As time passed and he felt more powerful, he would gradually eliminate that resistance and accept it completely.
Soon, Chen Zong left the sealed secret room and was brought to a cave. The cave was very wide. Although the layout inside was simple, it had a wild atmosphere.
This was Chen Zong's future residence. For the time being, at least Chen Zong thought so.
The cave was spacious enough. Not only could it be used for living, but it could also be used for cultivation. There was enough space to practice swordsmanship. On one side of the open space, there were ten precious iron pillars as thick as a person's waist. Each pillar was three meters tall.
Outside the cave, there were four disciples of the Black Demon Sect standing. The Green Ape Emissary said that he was there to serve Chen Zong, but his actual purpose was to monitor Chen Zong. After all, Chen Zong was not loyal yet, so he had to be on guard.
Chen Zong did not show any abnormalities. He completely accepted the Green Ape Emissary's arrangement. His purpose was to make the Green Ape Emissary let down his guard as much as possible. Then, he would slowly find an opportunity to leave and return to the Seven Luminaries Martial Academy.
