Spirit Blast Technique!

Xu Chunniang's eyes widened in shock. This berserk wood Spiritual Qi actually possessed a destructive power. It could no longer be called the "Spring Growth Technique."

"Can I use this Spiritual Qi to fight enemies?"

A sudden thought struck Xu Chunniang. Since this berserk wood Spiritual Qi could damage shrubs, it meant it had a certain destructive capability.

However, the shrubs were already extremely fragile, which was why they were so easily destroyed by the rampant Spiritual Qi. If the target were a cultivator, they probably wouldn't fear this level of rampant Spiritual Qi at all.

Xu Chunniang had always been a person of action. She once again used the Spring Growth Technique, separated the Spiritual Qi, and made it berserk. Then, she controlled one portion and pushed it directly towards herself!

Her brow twitched slightly, but she quickly returned to normal.

As expected, the berserk wood Spiritual Qi that could directly destroy shrubs was merely a drizzle to a cultivator at Qi Condensation second layer like her. It only made her feel uncomfortable for a brief moment.

But Xu Chunniang was not disappointed. Instead, her eyes shone with astonishing brilliance.

"What if the berserkness of this wood Spiritual Qi could reach ten times, a hundred times?"

She secretly estimated that if she were hit by wood Spiritual Qi that was ten times more berserk, she would at least be uncomfortable for a while. If she were hit by wood Spiritual Qi that was a hundred times more berserk, the consequences would be absolutely unimaginable!

It might even be possible... that she would be directly destroyed, just like the shrubs!

Xu Chunniang's heart pounded. So, the Spring Growth Technique also had a hidden use! Her past month hadn't been a complete waste of time.

Xu Chunniang took a sip of Spiritual Dew, sat down cross-legged, and absorbed it, quickly replenishing the Spiritual Qi in her body that had been largely depleted.

She wanted to try and see how berserk she could make this wood Spiritual Qi!

After replenishing her Spiritual Qi, Xu Chunniang stood up again and lightly cast the Spring Growth Technique.

A stream of pure wood Spiritual Qi was divided into two portions, then into four smaller portions. Each time it was split, the wood Spiritual Qi became even more berserk!

Xu Chunniang controlled these four portions of berserk wood Spiritual Qi. These four smaller portions of Spiritual Qi actually possessed a more astonishing explosive power, almost double that of before!

In other words, the berserkness of each of these four portions of wood Spiritual Qi was equivalent to twice the initial Spiritual Qi. Although the quantity only doubled, the berserkness multiplied eightfold when combined!

Xu Chunniang controlled these Spiritual Qi and pushed them towards a nearby small tree. With a "crack," the small tree was directly blown apart!

"This destructive power is truly astonishing!"

Xu Chunniang's eyes were bright, and a look of eagerness flashed in her eyes. "I only split the wood Spiritual Qi into four portions, and it already has this much energy. If I go further and split it into eight portions, and the berserkness doubles again..."

As her words fell, a stream of pure wood Spiritual Qi condensed from her body. It first became two portions, then four, and finally was split into eight!

As these Spiritual Qi clusters became smaller and smaller through splitting, their berserkness doubled, and they became increasingly difficult to control. Xu Chunniang used all her strength to control these Spiritual Qi clusters and directed them to smash into the ground ahead.

With a "boom," there was a loud noise, and dust and stones flew everywhere. When the dust settled, a hole about ten feet wide was clearly smashed into the ground!

Xu Chunniang licked her lips, unable to hide the excitement in her eyes.

After splitting into eight portions, the berserkness of each Spiritual Qi was fourfold. If these eight portions of Spiritual Qi were detonated together, their berserkness could reach an astonishing thirty-twofold!

However, splitting into eight portions was already the limit. If they were split any further, the Spiritual Qi clusters would explode directly due to being unable to withstand the turbulence.

Eightfold berserk Spiritual Qi could blow apart a small tree, while thirty-twofold berserk Spiritual Qi clusters smashing the ground into a huge pit could definitely pose a threat to cultivators.

And this was not the end. Xu Chunniang quickly realized that she could condense three streams of wood Spiritual Qi from her body simultaneously.

If she split these three streams of wood Spiritual Qi simultaneously, she would end up with twenty-four berserk Spiritual Qi clusters. If she could control these Spiritual Qi clusters to detonate together, their power could reach a terrifying ninety-sixfold!

Xu Chunniang dared not imagine what kind of destruction would be caused by smashing so many Spiritual Qi clusters at the same time.

However, she was already using all her strength just to control eight Spiritual Qi clusters simultaneously. Controlling twenty-four berserk Spiritual Qi clusters would not be easy.

Xu Chunniang was not in a hurry. She would take her time. For now, the thirty-twofold berserk Spiritual Qi clusters should be sufficient.

Who would have thought that the gentle wood Spiritual Qi condensed by the Spring Growth Technique would have such power after being split?

This could no longer be called the Spring Growth Technique. Xu Chunniang thought about it and gave it a new name, calling it "Spirit Blast Technique," to distinguish it from the Spring Growth Technique.

During this period, Xu Chunniang had been busy practicing Sorcery and hadn't cultivated much. Her cultivation remained the same, although it was more solidified compared to when she first entered the second layer of Qi Condensation.

Xu Chunniang secretly calculated that after consolidating the Spirit Blast Technique, she needed to hurry up and cultivate.

As for the Earth Moistening Technique, it wouldn't be too late to cultivate it later.

After spending ten days consolidating the Spirit Blast Technique, although Xu Chunniang could still only control one stream of wood Spiritual Qi for splitting, her control over these explosive Spiritual Qi had reached a new level. She could skillfully control eight Spiritual Qi clusters and hit whatever she aimed at.

Under her control, eight small Spiritual Qi clusters shot out like spiritual energy bombs and exploded in eight different directions!

Seeing the results of her training, Xu Chunniang nodded with satisfaction and patted away the non-existent dust from her clothes.

It was time to collect the Grain Abstinence Pills again. For the past two months, she had been busy cultivating Sorcery, and her cultivation had not improved. There was no need to circulate the Hidden Spirit Art to conceal her cultivation.

With a thought, Xu Chunniang's spiritual pressure aura abruptly changed. It climbed from the Qi Introduction stage and only stopped at the second layer of Qi Condensation.

She had not given up practicing the Hidden Spirit Art during these days. Her proficiency with the Hidden Spirit Art had increased again. She could now successfully conceal two layers of cultivation while using Sorcery.

"Once I can conceal three layers of cultivation when I make a move, I can try compressing Spiritual Qi."

Xu Chunniang blinked her eyes, a hint of anticipation flashing in them. She hadn't forgotten that her spiritual pressure aura had previously reached the third layer of Qi Condensation.

After collecting two bottles of Grain Abstinence Pills from the Dining Hall, Xu Chunniang thought about what Steward Zhao had just said on her way back.

In another four months, it would be the year-end assessment for this batch of new disciples. Any disciple who failed the assessment would be directly expelled from the Carefree Sect.

The sect's annual expenditure on new disciples was not a small amount, so it naturally did not welcome those who were just going through the motions.

Xu Chunniang had been busy cultivating and had almost forgotten about this matter. It was only when Steward Zhao asked her if she was confident about the assessment that she remembered.

Since it was an assessment for new disciples, it was not difficult and only involved two aspects: cultivation and Sorcery.

All newly admitted disciples whose cultivation had not reached the first layer of Qi Condensation would have all their sect supplies confiscated and be sent down the mountain.

Thanks to fellow Daoist Xi for the reward, and thanks to all fellow Daoists for your continued reading and votes!
