In the forest.
The youngster turned and walked away in dejection.
Chu Feng watched the youngster's retreating figure, his brows furrowing even deeper and his palms clenching tightly.
His gaze also swept back and forth across his surroundings once more.
He had transmigrated to this world for more than a month, and Xiao Huohuo was the only person he had seen.
If Xiao Huohuo left just like that, would he ever see the next person who accidentally stumbled into the deep forest?
Did he still have any chance of leaving this patch of woods?
Furthermore, having transmigrated to a martial arts world, yet lacking even the chance to become a practitioner or an expert—
was he really destined to just stare at the system girl in despair?
He was not resigned to this!
Chu Feng watched the youngster walking further and further away, gazing at his disheartened back, and hardened his heart.
Technique, aren't they just techniques?
I refuse to believe it.
In my previous life, I practically read every single web novel!
Having read so many novels and seen the descriptions of so many techniques within them, could I really not make up one out of thin air for him?
The more he thought about it, the brighter Chu Feng's gaze became, and the more confident he felt in his heart.
With my reading volume from my previous life, never mind Houtian, Xiantian, and Grandmaster—even realms above Grandmaster, I can rattle off a thing or two!
Having completely straightened things out in his mind, Chu Feng no longer hesitated.
Do it!
Chu Feng gazed at the figure who had already walked over thirty meters away and was about to leave his line of sight, put on an unfathomable demeanor, stood with his hands behind his back, and gave a cough.
His voice turned somewhat aged and echoed lingeringly through the forest:
"Holding the sun and moon in my hands to pluck the stars, there is no one like me in this world."
"This Venerable One has lived in seclusion here for many years and originally had no wish to meddle in worldly affairs."
"Yet I never expected to encounter such a tie of fate."
Hearing this voice, Xiao Huohuo, who was just about to leave, suddenly shuddered violently, stopped in his tracks, and turned his head in shock.
Yet he saw that the expert's expression still remained unchanged, only to ponder for a moment and shake his head as he said:
"Very well. Since it is so, this Venerable One shall take you in."
Hearing these words, the despondency on Xiao Huohuo's face was swept away instantly!
Those dull eyes glowed completely at this moment, and his pace changed from slow to fast before he rapidly ran back to stand before Chu Feng. With a thud, he dropped to his knees, kowtowed heavily three times in succession, and said with great joy:
"This disciple pays respects to Master!"
"Many thanks to Master for being willing to take this disciple in!"
The corners of Xiao Huohuo's mouth curled upward uncontrollably as he raised his head to look at the young man, his gaze fervent.
Although the expert before him had a youthful appearance, his aura was steady and unfathomable, looking no different from an ordinary person without a shred of cultivation!
Yet his demeanor and actions possessed a sort of casual, untrammeled detachment that transcended worldly matters!
Just looking at it this way, it further confirmed Xiao Huohuo's inner thoughts.
The expert before him was an absolute expert, far superior to everyone he had ever seen!
They said that only those half-baked people prone to complacency liked to show off and radiate their aura, letting the whole world know how strong they were.
Yet true experts did the exact opposite, returning to simplicity, concealing their auras, and blending into the vast mortal world.
The saying that experts emerge from the marketplace was precisely this logic.
Thinking of this, Xiao Huohuo secretly sized up Chu Feng's appearance, his expression growing even more fanatical.
Even his breathing could not help but become slightly disordered.
Even the Misty Sect Master, a top-tier expert of the Xiantian Realm, could not possibly manage to keep every shred of aura from leaking out so completely that he looked like an ordinary person, right?
They said that a formidable master produces brilliant disciples. To be able to take such a peerless expert as his master—
wouldn't he be able to beat that rude Young Master of the Misty Sect to a pulp in the competition half a year from now?
Although Chu Feng did not know what this youngster was thinking, after pausing for a moment, he slowly spoke up:
"Disciple, rise."
Squinting slightly and seeing Xiao Huohuo get up from the ground, Chu Feng once more assumed an unfathomable air and said:
"Since you have already become this Venerable One's disciple,"
"then a mutual understanding between us is indispensable."
Xiao Huohuo nodded enthusiastically and said:
"Whatever Master wishes to ask, this disciple shall answer everything without fail!"
With his expression unchanged, Chu Feng nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Since that is the case, this Venerable One shall test you."
"As for the martial artists of the current world, what is their strength like, and what realms can they reach?"
Chu Feng watched the brocade-robed youngster with narrowed eyes, awaiting his words.
His previous understanding of the martial artists in this world originated entirely from the records in the wooden hut, and he only knew what realms existed, possessing merely a rough idea.
He did not clearly know what miraculous powers the corresponding realms possessed.
He needed to first probe what feats a corresponding martial artist could accomplish before he could appropriately compile a suitable technique.
Otherwise, if he were to write a Great Desolation Prison Heaven Finger a moment later, only for the opponent to be able to do nothing more than tangle weeds, that would be a huge joke.
Yet he saw Xiao Huohuo lower his head in contemplation for a moment before answering one by one:
"Third-rate martial artists differ little from ordinary people, and are capable of vaulting over walls and scaling eaves."
"Houtian martial artists can achieve the projection of aura, killing enemies beyond their physical bodies."
"As for Xiantian martial artists, they can accomplish feats akin to immortal gods—soaring freely through the air and fighting ten thousand men alone."
Mentioning this, Xiao Huohuo's gaze grew even more fanatical as he looked up at the sky with boundless admiration:
"As for the legendary Grandmaster Realm, they can achieve protective astral energy, rendering themselves impervious to blades and spears."
"With the strength of a single individual, they can oppose thousands of soldiers and horses, annihilate hundreds of thousands of troops, and turn the tide of battle!"
"These are true top-tier experts!"
Hearing what Xiao Huohuo said, Chu Feng nodded, appearing very satisfied on the surface, but inwardly hesitating:
According to my silly disciple, the martial power level of this realm's tiers is not low at all, much stronger than those martial arts worlds from my previous life.
Which martial arts world should I choose as a template to fabricate martial arts?
The World of Wind and Cloud?
Chu Feng shook his head; this combat power did not seem sufficient to crush everything.
Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils?
This one seemed even further behind.
Douluo World?
His eyes brightened, but then they dimmed again as he shook his head.
The combat power of this world was somewhat confusing, and bringing it out might not yield effects superior to the martial practitioners of his current world. Moreover, those techniques required special conditions to cultivate, and this world might not necessarily be compatible with them.
However, this did give him some inspiration.
A sharp gleam abruptly flashed in his eyes:
That's right! If a martial cultivation world won't do and a high martial world falls a bit short, then I'll look directly toward the world of immortal cultivation!
Since astral energy exists, it is very likely that spiritual energy also exists in this world?
Once this kid gets a start in immortal arts, wouldn't he sweep through this world horizontally?
Thinking of this, he smugly muttered inwardly:
If that's the case, I might even ride his coattails to ascend as an immortal and become an ancestral figure.
After some deliberation, Chu Feng settled on the technique he wanted to compile.
Anyway, it was all something he fabricated based on his memory and the sparse synopses in novels.
It was just as absurd as the martial artists in modern movies training and improving themselves according to the contents of comic books.
The success rate was not high anyway, so why not be a bit bolder?
