Roaring Tiger Golden Bell Shield

"Did I do the right thing?"

Watching the carriage recede into the distance, Luo Wen fell into deep thought.

As for the Tiger Demon, his own idea had naturally been to hand Wei Fan over and quell the disaster.

But as the head constable, he naturally could not openly do such a thing, so he had adopted a roundabout strategy.

When Wei Fan had voluntarily proposed going to find the Tiger Demon, he had thought he had Wei Fan firmly in his grasp. But when Wei Fan later asked Wang Meng to drive the carriage, he understood that he had been wrong.

It was not because he had given Wei Fan the position of constable that Wei Fan had gone willingly to his death out of gratitude.

Wang Meng had proposed handing Wei Fan over that morning, so on Wei Fan's list, Wang Meng, like Li Shen yesterday, had also been placed on the death list.

"Perhaps even my helping him obtain the constable position was part of his calculations."

At that thought, Luo Wen felt a chill run through his heart.

Thinking back carefully, it seemed he had been led around by the nose by Wei Fan all along.

"In other words, he isn't afraid of that nest of Tiger Demons behind the Fierce Tiger Gang..."

Only if he did not fear the Tiger Demons could all this be explained—could it explain why, even now, Wei Fan still wanted to get rid of Wang Meng, who harbored hostility toward him.

"Use three years of cultivation to upgrade Heavenly Gang Blood Burning Saber!"

Inside the carriage, Wei Fan pondered for a moment before deciding to invest three years of cultivation into the martial art Heavenly Gang Blood Burning Saber.

This was a true demon-slaying martial art. Its lethality against demons of flesh and blood far surpassed the Blood Fiend Saber Technique.

The Blood Fiend Saber Technique was too basic. Even though he had already upgraded it to the mastery realm, this saber technique still could not unleash the full might of his abundant True Qi.

By his estimate, with ten parts of his strength, the Blood Fiend Saber Technique could probably only bring out six.

"Heavenly Gang Blood Burning Saber shouldn't be too bad!"

Three years of cultivation deducted

You possessed considerable talent in saber techniques and quickly initiated Heavenly Gang Blood Burning Saber, realizing it was a martial art that condensed special saber qi

One year of cultivation: your Heavenly Gang Blood Burning Saber reached the proficient level, condensing Heavenly Gang saber qi

Two years of cultivation: your Heavenly Gang Blood Burning Saber broke through to great accomplishment, its saber qi transformed into saber gang, sweeping through all before it, indomitable and unstoppable

Three years of cultivation: Heavenly Gang Blood Burning Saber reached mastery, its saber gang became almost tangible, and demons bowed their heads

Heavenly Gang Blood Burning Saber (Mastery)

Current cultivation: 30 years

"What a terrifying saber technique!"

The Blood Fiend Saber Technique and Heavenly Gang Blood Burning Saber were simply incomparable.

Wei Fan spread his fingers, and a strand of nearly tangible gang qi leaped from his palm, radiating scorching heat.

If such terrifying saber gang struck a body of flesh and blood, it would instantly vaporize the flesh. It was absolutely no different from a red-hot blade cutting into flesh.

"The Demon Suppressing Division really has some good things!"

Even Heavenly Gang Blood Burning Saber at the True Qi Realm possessed such power. The portions beyond the True Qi Realm were surely even more terrifying.

"Use ten years of cultivation to upgrade Golden Bell Shield!"

Cultivation was the foundation. No matter how formidable a martial skill was, it was useless without sufficient cultivation.

As his main True Qi martial art, Golden Bell Shield naturally had to continue receiving cultivation.

However, Golden Bell Shield had already reached the highest Ninth Level. Wei Fan did not know whether continuing to add cultivation would be of any use, so he first invested ten years to test the waters.

If the results were poor, he planned to use the remaining cultivation on other martial arts.

In truth, his best option now was to obtain a martial art beyond the True Qi Realm to replace Golden Bell Shield. But he was neither a chief constable nor a member of the Demon Suppressing Division, so he had no access to martial arts beyond the True Qi Realm. He could only first try piling cultivation into Golden Bell Shield and see whether he could produce a cultivation method beyond the True Qi Realm.

He had speculated before that this golden finger was not the kind that could deduce and derive things. Perhaps even if he kept adding cultivation, he still would not be able to obtain a Tenth Level Golden Bell Shield cultivation method.

Still, everything had to be tried. After throwing ten years of cultivation at it, even if he could not get a Tenth Level cultivation method, he ought to gain something, right?

Ten years of cultivation deducted

Your Golden Bell Shield had long since reached perfection at the Ninth Level, with no room left to advance. Yet you refused to accept this and continued to labor painstakingly over Golden Bell Shield.

One year of cultivation: your True Qi grew somewhat more abundant and purer.

Two years of cultivation: your True Qi grew somewhat more abundant and purer.

Three years of cultivation: your True Qi grew somewhat more abundant and purer.

Wei Fan's face darkened. After three years of cultivation, his True Qi had merely become somewhat purer and more abundant. Upon carefully sensing it, the increase was not even ten percent.

In other words, his True Qi could no longer increase in quantity. To increase it further, he could only break through to a higher realm.

Four years of cultivation: your True Qi no longer increased, yet became ever purer.

Five years of cultivation: your True Qi became increasingly pure and began to strengthen your physical body.

Nine years of cultivation: your True Qi became terrifyingly pure. With the continual infusion of cultivation, Golden Bell Shield underwent some miraculous changes.

Seeing this, Wei Fan's eyes lit up. Throwing in ten years of cultivation had not been wasted effort.

Even if Golden Bell Shield had not produced a Tenth Level, his True Qi was now three to four times purer than before.

Ten years of cultivation: you finally discovered what the miraculous change was. After years upon years of painstaking Golden Bell Shield cultivation, you condensed an almost tangible Golden Bell within your body.

Current cultivation: 20 years

"Roaring Tiger Golden Bell Shield?"

A sharp glint flashed through Wei Fan's eyes. He could sense that beneath the skin and membrane of his body, there was now a Golden Bell hovering between illusion and reality, gleaming with golden light.

"Golden Bell Shield turned into a martial skill?"

Golden Bell Shield not only cultivated both inside and out, it also counted as a martial skill. Once it reached the Ninth Level, True Qi could transform into a Golden Bell to protect the body.

With the continual addition of cultivation, the golden finger had not deduced a Tenth Level cultivation method. Instead, it had transformed this martial art, which was both a cultivation method and a martial skill, on the martial-skill side, completely separating the cultivation method from the martial skill.

Under the infusion of ten years of cultivation, a Golden Bell had formed within his body.

No!

Calling it something formed from True Qi was not quite right. Though the Golden Bell he sensed was still connected to his True Qi, it was more like the magical treasures stored inside the body in cultivation novels.

He no longer needed any True Qi at all. With a mere thought, the Golden Bell could fly out of his body and protect him.

"Use all twenty years of cultivation to upgrade Roaring Tiger Golden Bell Shield!"

With twenty years of cultivation left, he wanted to see what it could produce.

Calling the current Roaring Tiger Golden Bell Shield a martial skill was not quite right either.

Although the panel had displayed the name Roaring Tiger Golden Bell Shield, Wei Fan had not gained any cultivation method or moves. As for that Golden Bell, he only had an instinctive way of using it.

Twenty years of cultivation deducted

The panel flickered once more. Wei Fan watched with rapt attention:

Five years of cultivation: your Roaring Tiger Golden Bell Shield became increasingly miraculous. It could now grow large or small and was indestructible.

Ten years of cultivation: you discovered some strange, blurry patterns on the Golden Bell.

You refused to give up and continued infusing cultivation.

Twenty years of cultivation: Roaring Tiger Golden Bell Shield finally reached minor accomplishment. You discovered that those blurry patterns had begun to grow clear, taking the shape of a tiger and about to fully form. Whenever you used the Golden Bell, the faint roar of a tiger could be heard, striking fear into every enemy's heart.
