Heavy Essence Seal

Immersed in the world of martial arts, time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, a month had gone by.

That day, on the Back Mountain of Mu Family Village, Mu Zi was carrying out her daily martial arts practice.

"Whirlwind Kick!"

"Cleaving Wind Palm!"

"Mountain Collapse Fist!"

"Iron Mountain Lean!"

As her body moved, one martial art after another was unleashed, and every one of them had reached mastery.

After making a slight adjustment, Mu Zi extended both arms and unleashed two martial arts at once, one with each hand.

"Falling Rock Fist!"

"Eight Desolations Palm!"

Multitasking like this, fighting with both hands independently, posed no difficulty for her.

Next came the Third Grade Martial Arts.

"Returning Wind Cotton Hand!"

"Traceless Claw!"

"Shadowless Swordplay!"

Mu Zi leaped nimbly through the woods, her figure darting between the trees. Sand and stones flew everywhere, fierce winds swept outward, and the gusts she raised blew the surrounding leaves down in flurries.

Mu Zi had cultivated every Third Grade Martial Art to the realm of mastery. With only a casual move, she could reach the limits of ordinary people.

By now, Mu Zi had perfectly mastered the more than one hundred martial arts collected by Mu Family Village. With so much accumulated knowledge and daily practice, her control over martial arts had gone further.

Because of this, Mu Zi had gained a deeper understanding of several martial arts she had cultivated before.

Mu Zi lightly tapped off with her toes and activated Lingbo Steps.

Swift as a flying duck, ethereal as a deity. Graceful as a startled swan, supple as a roaming dragon.

The young girl's steps were light and nimble. Her figure moved with effortless grace, as though she were strolling through a courtyard, without the slightest trace of worldly clumsiness in her footwork.

Mu Zi nodded to herself. The consumption of Lingbo Steps had decreased once more. Even among Second Grade Martial Arts, such low consumption was exceedingly rare.

Movement martial arts generally consumed less than offensive martial arts of the same grade. Thus, using Lingbo Steps now consumed even less than some First Grade Martial Arts.

Previously, Mu Zi had not been able to use her movement technique without restraint, but now she had no such concerns. She could even use this movement technique for long-distance travel without any problem.

It was not only Lingbo Steps that had improved; Spirit Sword Finger had as well.

This martial art's improvement lay in its casting speed.

Previously, Spirit Sword Finger required a brief period of charging. Though Mu Zi's powerful control kept that charging time short, it still could not be considered instantaneous.

But now, after adjustments to certain fine details, Spirit Sword Finger could be unleashed instantly.

Although this reduced its destructive power somewhat, it granted a higher rate of release.

Moreover, the original charged version of Spirit Sword Finger had not disappeared. She simply had one more option now.

At this moment, Mu Zi began her practice.

She lightly activated Lingbo Steps, her figure weaving nimbly through the forest like a ghostly phantom. At the same time, Mu Zi raised her hand, and streams of finger force shot through the air, striking the tree trunks with precision and leaving behind rows of tiny, deep holes.

Great tree: .

Mu Zi came to a stop, feeling that the scene before her was rather strange.

Lingbo Steps beneath her feet, Spirit Sword Finger in her hand. The whole style felt intensely familiar, but she really had not done it on purpose!

Besides, unlike a certain unnamed prince of Dali, Mu Zi's Lingbo Steps truly allowed her to walk on water.

A certain Duan: That hurt.

After some refinement, these two martial arts could continue to shine.

However, Tongbei Fist was starting to fall behind Mu Zi's pace.

Although layered Tongbei Fist was no weaker than a Third Grade Martial Art, it was merely a flashy, impractical display.

Not only was it troublesome to execute, but its consumption was not low either.

In that case, would it not be better to directly use Third Grade Martial Arts?

Still, Mu Zi did not easily give up on Tongbei Fist because of this. She drew out its essence and made it her own.

Mu Zi's hands rapidly formed hand seals. As essence force surged like a tide, it finally condensed before her into a translucent light seal.

A moment later, the Seal Art in Mu Zi's hands shifted again, and two more light seals instantly appeared.

Then, the latter two light seals flowed like water into the first seal, merging with it.

As they fused, the translucent light seal gradually solidified, eventually taking on a mysterious pale white color while radiating intense fluctuations of power.

Mu Zi suddenly raised her palm, and the pale white light seal shot forth, landing on a large tree. Accompanied by a thunderous boom, the tree snapped in half at its waist.

Great tree: Why, thank you!

"The power's not bad!"

Looking at the scene before her, Mu Zi nodded in satisfaction.

That attack just now was her greatest achievement from this period of time.

Third Grade Martial Arts: Heavy Essence Seal.

In creating this martial art, Mu Zi had drawn from several Third Grade Martial Arts and incorporated certain traits of the Spirit Sword Finger, allowing this technique, despite only reaching the Third Grade, to achieve the rare feat of projecting essence energy beyond the body.

Most importantly, Mu Zi had absorbed the martial principles behind the Tongbei Fist and ingeniously incorporated its principle of stacking power into her own martial art.

If she simply unleashed a single light seal, its power would rank among the best of the Third Grade Martial Arts, but it was still far from reaching the Fourth Grade.

However, after stacking three light seals, the Heavy Essence Seal became exceedingly terrifying. Even among Fourth Grade Martial Arts, it would likely be among the very best.

Perhaps its piercing power was somewhat inferior to the Spirit Sword Finger, but in terms of overall destructive force, it far surpassed the latter.

More importantly, this martial art created with the aid of the Reincarnation Seal retained its usual exceptional traits of low consumption and high power.

Even with three seals stacked together, its consumption did not exceed the range of Third Grade Martial Arts.

That was astonishing. Under normal circumstances, Body Tempering Realm cultivation was insufficient to bear the consumption of Fourth Grade Martial Arts. Yet the Heavy Essence Seal defied common sense, allowing one to unleash martial arts comparable to the Fourth Grade while still in the Body Tempering Realm.

After a month of intensive study and diligent practice, Mu Zi had yet to break through to the Body Tempering Eighth Stage, but her strength had improved significantly.

Even three Mu Gangs attacking together would not be her match!

However, none of this came without a price.

During this time, as Mu Zi repeatedly drew upon it, the energy accumulated within the Reincarnation Seal had also been completely exhausted.

The spiritual herbs nearby had already been stripped clean by Mu Zi before this. Although Mu Family Village had specially allocated some resources to her, they were still far from enough to cover her needs.

Mu Family Village simply had too few resources to sustain Mu Zi's consumption.

Fortunately, she now possessed a preliminary degree of self-defense. She could also begin trying out a few ways to earn money.

During the time she spent researching martial arts, Mu Zi's gains were not limited to the Heavy Essence Seal alone.

In order to create the Heavy Essence Seal, she had carried out many experiments, which had also brought her some additional gains.

As a byproduct of her martial arts research, Mu Zi had created more than a dozen martial arts over the past month, several of which had even reached the Third Grade.

However, these martial arts were all rather ordinary, not exceptional techniques capable of surpassing the limits of their grade.

After successfully creating the Heavy Essence Seal, these martial arts were no longer useful to Mu Zi.

So, if she could exchange them for some cultivation resources, it could be considered putting waste to use.

Of the trading locations near Mu Family Village, the most suitable was undoubtedly the Trading Fair in Qingyang Town.

"I'll go to Qingyang Town tomorrow and take a look," Mu Zi thought.
