Inside the secret chamber, Lin Feng, who had been in Secluded Cultivation for an unknown length of time, was filled with delight. The reconstructed Five Elements Art actually rivaled the High-level Earth Rank lightning-attribute technique, the Thunderous Might Technique, in sheer presence.
"Phew... As expected, high risk brings high reward. On the surface, this is only a small improvement in rank, but in reality, the difference is like heaven and earth."
Lin Feng thought happily, For example, if cultivators of the same rank fought while excluding factors like combat experience, then judging only by a technique's recovery speed and lethality, a High-level Earth Rank technique is more than merely several times stronger than a mid-level one.
Most importantly, although this still had not perfectly resolved the conflict within the Five Elements Art, as long as Lin Feng did not change his techniques again in the future—or used one high-level technique to command the other four lower-level techniques—then, while it would not be as powerful as the balance of the five elements, it would still be enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with an Imperial Clan Prodigy.
