Earth Element Net Shield, Wave Saber Technique

One Earth Element Net Shield, one Wave Saber Technique.

These are martial skills that match the attributes of the Earth Tortoise Shield and the Cold Heavy Saber.

When martial skills are paired with suitable magic tools, their combined power will increase exponentially!

And these two martial skills are both top-grade Postnatal martial skills! Even more powerful than the Nine Step Movement Technique, Bone Piercing Finger, and Stacked Force Palm!

The Nine Step Movement Technique and these two other martial skills are complementary martial skills for the Bronze Iron Body cultivation technique. Individually, their grade is above high-grade Postnatal, but because they are matched with the cultivation technique, those who cultivate the Bronze Iron Body technique can unleash power comparable to top-grade Postnatal martial skills.

However, in terms of grade alone, they are still a notch below the Earth Element Net Shield and the Wave Saber Technique.

Zhang Wan spent five hundred EXP to deduce these two martial skills based on the Five Elements Detailed Explanation.

Two hundred EXP were used for the Earth Element Net Shield, and three hundred EXP for the Wave Saber Technique!

The consumption of EXP was quite substantial.

This wasn't a deduction from scratch; it was based on the complete version of the Postnatal Five Elements Detailed Explanation. The fact that it still required so much EXP shows how much the deduction function consumes.

But it wasn't without its benefits.

With martial skills deduced using EXP, Zhang Wan directly achieved complete comprehension.

Unless it's a martial skill like Bone Piercing Finger, which requires additional training for the fingers, martial skills deduced this way can be completely mastered after just two uses.

He opened his status panel.

Available EXP: 9723

The martial skills and cultivation skills were presented separately on the panel, a change made by Zhang Wan's will.

Seeing them all piled together made Zhang Wan dizzy, so separating them made it clearer and more organized.

His accumulated EXP, after the consumption during this period, had once again dropped from over ten thousand. It took time to accumulate, but it was spent like flowing water. If he wasn't careful, it could be gone in an instant.

"However, martial skills and cultivation techniques deduced using the deduction function, when comprehended directly, are immediately displayed as 'Mastered'?"

"That's quite descriptive."

Zhang Wan closed the panel and took out the Earth Tortoise Shield and the Cold Heavy Saber.

Zhang Wan had been refining these two magic tools and the storage bag during this period, and had already imprinted his divine sense on them, making them usable.

Although he couldn't fully unleash the power of these two magic tools due to his cultivation level, they had greatly enhanced Zhang Wan's combat power.

At this moment, Zhang Wan injected mana into the Earth Tortoise Shield. The earth-yellow tortoise shield flew up. Looking at the Earth Tortoise Shield before him, Zhang Wan struck it several times with his palms, then condensed mana at his fingertips and unleashed the Bone Piercing Finger, piercing it more than ten times.

The Earth Tortoise Shield remained completely undamaged.

"As expected of a high-grade Postnatal defensive magic tool, it has such astonishing defensive power even without being fully activated."

As Zhang Wan marveled, he increased the mana input, and a faint halo immediately appeared on the Earth Tortoise Shield.

At the same time, the mana within Zhang Wan's body was rapidly consumed.

"Fully activating the Earth Tortoise Shield to emit the earth-yellow halo is still a bit strenuous for me right now." Zhang Wan ignored the rapidly depleting mana and began to cast the Earth Element Net Shield.

Instantly, an earth-yellow halo, with the Earth Tortoise Shield as its core, enveloped and protected Zhang Wan.

"Although the Earth Tortoise Shield has astonishing defense, and its defense is further enhanced when the earth-yellow halo is activated, the protective range of the halo is limited to one side."

"But with the Earth Tortoise Shield and the Earth Element Net Shield, I can form an earth element barrier that envelops me, providing all-round, no-dead-angle protection!"

"However, with my current mana, it's difficult to use this move freely."

"Or, I could reduce the power, which would also lower the mana requirement."

After maintaining the Earth Element Net Shield for just a moment, Zhang Wan felt his internal mana depleted by eight or nine tenths.

After stopping the Earth Tortoise Shield, Zhang Wan had very little mana left.

It took him half a day to recover his mana.

This time, he took out the Cold Heavy Saber.

Just as the Earth Tortoise Shield could emit an earth-yellow halo, the Cold Heavy Saber also had a unique ability: it could release extreme cold air.

However, Zhang Wan did not directly activate the Cold Heavy Saber's ability this time. Instead, he first practiced the Wave Saber Technique several times with the Cold Heavy Saber.

In Zhang Wan's hands, the Cold Heavy Saber moved like waves, sometimes like gently surging small ripples, sometimes like a storm of crashing waves, and sometimes like continuous, rising and falling tides.

Astonishing and chilling saber energy filled the entire small courtyard, but no one saw this incredible scene, nor could they perceive it, as it was all concealed by the small barrier surrounding the residence.

After practicing several times, Zhang Wan stopped, satisfied.

The saber technique did not disappoint him; just by practicing, he could feel its power.

It was worth the three hundred EXP he spent.

Even though his cultivation couldn't fully unleash the power of this saber technique, his combat strength had still increased by a large margin.

His eyes sharpened, and Zhang Wan activated the extreme cold energy of the Cold Heavy Saber, practicing the Wave Saber Technique once more.

This time, the waves carried extreme cold. The chilling energy slashed out in all directions with the waves, greatly increasing the technique's power!

However, the mana consumption also increased significantly.

Before he could even finish one round of practice, Zhang Wan's mana was almost depleted, forcing him to stop.

"Even though I deliberately lowered the saber technique's power and reduced mana consumption, activating the extreme cold energy still consumes an astonishing amount of mana."

"With my current mana, I can't sustain the extreme cold energy of the Cold Heavy Saber for long."

Zhang Wan wasn't surprised.

After all, it was a Postnatal mid-grade magic tool. With his Postnatal third-level cultivation, it was a bit much to expect him to use it as he pleased.

He would have to wait until his cultivation reached Postnatal fourth-level before the mana shortage issue could be slightly alleviated.

But now that he had mastered two magic tools and two matching martial skills, Zhang Wan had more trump cards.

Combined with the fire talismans he had accumulated.

He was confident he could fight even a Postnatal sixth-level martial artist!

He even had a 50% chance of killing a Postnatal sixth-level martial artist in a fight to the death and surviving!

The Postnatal mid-grade fire talismans, along with the two magic tools and two matching martial skills, gave Zhang Wan ample confidence.

Of course, he still wasn't confident when facing a Postnatal seventh-level martial artist.

But if he encountered one, they wouldn't be able to keep him if he wanted to escape!

While the outside world was in an uproar, Zhang Wan was cultivating behind closed doors. Time quietly passed, and soon it was the middle of the month.
