Yang Wu stopped thinking and began repeatedly practicing the Basic Saber Technique.
[Congratulations, Host. Through cultivation, you have obtained the Cultivation Secret Method Basic Saber Technique. Would you like to perform Ten Thousand Times Amplification?]
"What the hell, that works too?" Yang Wu was both shocked and delighted.
This was a blade technique the original owner had learned from Limit Martial Hall long ago, yet Yang Wu had never expected that this Basic Saber Technique could actually be amplified.
Yang Wu simply did not know whether the amplified Basic Saber Technique would be a stronger yet easier-to-learn blade technique, or a higher-level, more difficult one.
But whatever. Yang Wu decided to amplify it first.
If the result was the first possibility, that would be easy. He could simply switch to cultivating the amplified blade technique.
Even if his talent was insufficient to cultivate the second kind, he could still continue practicing the original blade technique.
[Ten Thousand Times Amplification of Basic Saber Technique successful. Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the Warrior Secret Method Martial Warrior Basic Saber Technique 312 Forms!]
A new set of memories suddenly appeared in Yang Wu's mind—memories concerning Martial Warrior Basic Saber Technique 312 Forms.
It contained not only diagrams demonstrating the blade forms, but also line after line of written explanations.
Even after only giving it a rough look, Yang Wu found it somewhat complicated.
However, he also realized that Martial Warrior Basic Saber Technique 312 Forms had indeed merely been amplified from Limit Martial Hall's Basic Saber Technique.
If Yang Wu had to evaluate it, it was somewhat similar to the Spiritual Master Basic 312 Forms Luo Feng had seen in Ruins No. 9.
"Thankfully, the amplified Secret Technique belongs to the first possibility. If it were the second, it would be useless to me." Yang Wu could not help but sigh in relief after seeing the result.
With a thought, Yang Wu began cultivating Martial Warrior Basic Saber Technique 312 Forms, completely immersing himself in this foundational training!
Only once he began practicing did Yang Wu discover the vast profundity of Martial Warrior Basic Saber Technique 312 Forms. It was countless times more sophisticated than Basic Saber Technique.
Basic Saber Technique was, in truth, an extremely tedious collection of diagrams.
It was somewhat like the Spiritual Master Foundation Hong had given Luo Feng in the Original Work, except Hong had derived it through an intelligent system, and each diagram was harder than the last.
Of course, considering the value of the "Three Stars" Spiritual Master Foundation, the latter was indeed more profound, but both were merely cultivation methods forcibly compiled and organized.
Naturally, the cultivation of Basic Saber Technique depended only on a single principle—"Practice Makes Perfect," "Practice a punch a thousand times, and its meaning will reveal itself."
Thus, Basic Saber Technique merely honed one's control over Force Exertion, speed, and so on through constant training, thereby improving one's theoretical understanding and control over blade techniques!
Yet the ten-thousand-times-amplified Martial Warrior Basic Saber Technique 312 Forms was different, because its effects were also quite similar to Spiritual Master Basic 312 Forms!
And in the distant past, the foundational Secret Technique Spiritual Master Basic 312 Forms had produced an unknown number of experts ten or even a hundred times stronger than Luo Feng!
Since the Secret Techniques were similar, it meant they had both undergone the test of countless people over hundreds of millions of years. They were the blade techniques most suitable for laying a Warrior's foundation!
The moment he came into contact with it and began cultivating it, Yang Wu immediately sensed the difference between the two!
He had undergone Hard Cultivation with Basic Saber Technique for so long, yet his progress had always been minimal.
But his speed in cultivating Martial Warrior Basic Saber Technique 312 Forms... was just like Luo Feng cultivating Spiritual Master Basic 312 Forms in Ruins No. 9.
His control over blade techniques rose crazily, at an astonishing pace that even Yang Wu found frightening.
Of course, since it had only been produced by amplifying Basic Saber Technique ten thousand times, it was indeed far inferior to Spiritual Master Basic 312 Forms in terms of level. At the very least, it did not involve Force Exertion.
"My current strength amplification is indeed a bit too great. My control over the power behind my swings and chops still isn't precise enough." As Luo Feng inferred other cases from one instance, he also reflected on his own problems.
"Having good physical fitness is one thing, but I still have to be able to bring it out."
In the Swallowing the Stars World, having better physical fitness than one's opponent did not mean one was stronger.
For instance, Lei Shen was Planet-level Stage Seven, while Hong was only Planet-level Stage Six, yet Hong could be considered invincible at the Planet-level and could easily crush Lei Shen.
Therefore, the true outcome of battle clearly depended on one's realm in Blade Technique and Movement Technique.
With poor Blade Technique, like Yang Wu before, he could probably only bring out around 80% of the strength provided by his physical fitness.
Some Geniuses, however, could unleash 100% of their strength, such as Luo Feng right now.
And Saber Grandmasters like Lei Shen could even rely on weak strength to rival opponents whose strength was Seven Times greater than theirs.
That was the importance of Force Application Technique and combat experience.
However, Yang Wu had yet to build a solid foundation in Blade Technique. With talent that was utter trash compared to Luo Feng's, rashly cultivating Force Exertion would only yield twice the effort for half the result.
Still, he had to diligently temper his Blade Technique if he wanted to perfectly unleash his own Physical Strength, or even erupt with even greater power.
"Yang-ge, how about we spar? I keep feeling that this Basic Saber Technique isn't completely suitable for me," Luo Feng suggested.
"Only through repeated practice can I truly discover the flaws in the Basic Saber Technique and improve it."
"Sure." Yang Wu revealed a faint smile.
After cultivating Martial Warrior Basic Saber Technique 312 Forms, Yang Wu had also grown somewhat eager to test his skills.
Before cultivating Martial Warrior Basic Saber Technique 312 Forms, even if Yang Wu had been stronger than Luo Feng, he would not have considered sparring with him.
After all, even someone as talented as Luo Feng had trouble controlling his suddenly increased power, let alone Yang Wu.
If they sparred recklessly, who knew whether another scar would appear on his face—or whether Luo Feng's face would gain a matching one.
"I'm going first!"
Yang Wu stepped forward, swung the Blood Shadow Battle Blade in his hand, traced several Saber Flowers through the air, and chopped straight down at Luo Feng.
"Good!"
Luo Feng raised his shield and blocked Yang Wu's fierce strike.
Because Yang Wu was stronger, Luo Feng involuntarily took a step back from the force.
"Great power!" Luo Feng shouted in praise. At the same time, he raised the Blood Shadow Battle Blade in his right hand and slashed diagonally toward Yang Wu.
Yang Wu briefly considered Martial Warrior Basic Saber Technique 312 Forms and quickly thought of a way to respond.
"Good timing!" Yang Wu nimbly shifted to the side, swept the Blood Shadow Battle Blade horizontally, and blocked Luo Feng's slash.
At the same time, strength surged through his right hand once more. With a burst of Giant Strength, sparks flew as he knocked aside Luo Feng's blade, then swung backhandedly into Luo Feng's shield.
The moment Yang Wu blocked his strike, Luo Feng had already sensed that something was off.
But seeing Yang Wu so easily break his Blade Technique now shocked him even more.
In particular, Luo Feng could already tell that Yang Wu's Blade Technique was clearly not Basic Saber Technique, yet it was far more sophisticated than Basic Saber Technique.
He had studied it for so long without managing to improve even a single move or form, yet Yang Wu had accomplished it so easily. Luo Feng could not help staring in utter disbelief.
If Luo Feng remembered correctly, the previous Yang Wu should have been inferior to him in terms of Blade Technique forms, shouldn't he?
"Stop! Stop! Stop!" Luo Feng hurriedly called off the fight, then looked at Yang Wu with delighted surprise. "Yang-ge, what kind of Blade Technique was that move? Teach me first!"
