Transformation! Five Elements Thunder Blade

For a legitimate weapons shop like this, customers could have their weapons sharpened as long as they followed the requirements and classified the weapons as collectibles.

Moreover, after signing the waiver and forms, the shop would not be held responsible even if something went wrong.

"Alright, handsome. The total is 36,500 Huaxia Currency. I'll round it down for you—just give me 36,000. Card or cash?"

"Card." Yang Yu took out his bank card. After swiping it, the girl handed him a receipt. "All set, handsome. In about a week, bring this receipt to our shop and you can pick up your weapons. Our shop offers lifetime warranty, returns, and exchanges for these weapons, so you don't need to worry about after-sales service."

"Alright. I'll come back in a week."

After settling the matter of the weapons, Yang Yu returned to the martial arts school and resumed training.

There were now only two months left until the Double R Virus outbreak.

Yang Yu did not have much time remaining.

The sweat-soaked training of the past two and a half months had made Yang Yu completely fall in love with cultivation.

The feeling of growing stronger every day left Yang Yu deeply intoxicated.

In the blink of an eye, a week passed.

That day, Yang Yu took his receipt to the weapons shop and collected his war blade, gauntlets, and flying daggers. On the way home, he also bought some common food supplies such as rice and cooking oil.

After returning home and putting down the supplies, Grandpa Yang assumed Yang Yu merely wanted to stock up on food all at once and did not think much of it.

After dinner, Yang Yu took his weapons to Nanshan that night to test them out.

The war blade was indeed sharp, and the gauntlets were also very flexible.

The flying daggers, on the other hand, could not yet display their power.

But once his Spiritual Force awakened, these flying daggers would become weapons for harvesting monsters.

Still, he would certainly face enormous hordes of monsters in the future, so relying entirely on Spiritual Force would not do.

Only by combining it with a war blade and Iron Fist would Yang Yu have the means to survive in the chaotic age.

After obtaining the war blade, Yang Yu added another item to his nightly training regimen.

"Blade practice!"

In his future plans, Yang Yu intended to cultivate as both a Spirit Reader and a Martial Artist.

His Spirit Reader abilities had not awakened yet, so he did not need to worry about them for now. Besides, Spiritual Force could be used for a long time. Once the force in his mind had been completely absorbed, Yang Yu's strength would surely be enough for him to search for Ancient Ruins and seek out specific Spirit Reader cultivation methods.

Before that, Yang Yu's true reliance had to be the Martial Way!

His Martial Way Insight at the Xingyiquan master level was extremely formidable.

He had already accumulated considerable insight in both fist techniques and movement techniques.

It would be a tremendous waste not to turn those insights into the strength of a Martial Artist, and having another means of facing enemies was always a good thing.

In chaotic times, every means of increasing one's strength was immensely precious.

All plans had to place survival above everything else!

After all, only by surviving could one speak of the future.

On the path of the Martial Artist, Yang Yu planned to focus on fist techniques and blade techniques.

That way, when facing monsters in the future, he could use a Spirit Reader's methods to fight from afar and even fly.

For close combat, he would use blade techniques.

A blade's killing power was quite considerable. Especially after his Physical Fitness became powerful, combined with potent Spirit Reader methods, it could absolutely serve as the foundation of his survival.

And even if his Spiritual Force were exhausted in an intense battle and his war blade shattered—

Yang Yu would still have his fists!

As a master who practiced Neijiaquan,

Even bare-handed, he could unleash formidable strength!

This was Yang Yu's preparation for the approaching Grand Nirvana.

Even mutated monsters would be made to recall the terror of the Terrifying Upright Ape from ancient times!

Yang Yu would make them understand who the true master of this world was!

With his plans clearly defined, Yang Yu began devoting himself fully to blade technique training.

The Splitting Fist of the Xingyi Five Elements Fist was extremely similar to the chopping motions of a war blade.

With Yang Yu's master-level insight into fist techniques, it took him only a few days to initially apply the Splitting Fist to blade techniques.

Yang Yu named this blade technique derived from the Splitting Fist—the Thunderbolt Blade!

When one blade strike was unleashed, it was like thunder splitting the sky.

It was also like lightning streaking through the long night!

This strike was not only swift as thunder and lightning, but also carried the momentum of splitting heaven and earth.

It was not only domineering, but possessed astonishing killing power.

Yang Yu liked this strike immensely!

Yang Yu's Physical Fitness and control over his strength had now reached the limits of the human body.

Within a single second, he could unleash more than a hundred strikes at Full Strength!

Every strike was a Thunderbolt Blade at maximum power.

Beneath the sky-filling blade shadows, fallen leaves from autumn and winter were split in two by Yang Yu's blade before they could even touch the ground!

This showed that the precision of this blade technique had reached an extreme.

Accordingly,

After Yang Yu created the Thunderbolt Blade, his insight into the Splitting Fist also improved.

It reached a level comparable to the Cannon Fist.

That was an unexpected delight.

Among the Xingyi Five Elements Fist, Yang Yu's insight into the Cannon Fist and Splitting Fist was now infinitely close to the Grandmaster realm.

His Crossing Fist, Drilling Fist, and Crushing Fist, meanwhile, remained steadily at the master level.

Yang Yu then spent another week evolving the Tiger Cannon Fist into the Tiger Cannon Blade.

He spent a month evolving the Crushing Fist into the Galloping Thunder Blade.

He evolved the Crossing Fist into the Shadowless Blade.

He evolved the Drilling Fist into the Drilling Thunder Blade.

Like the Tiger Cannon Fist, the Tiger Cannon Blade was his most powerful yet most dangerous strike. Once it was unleashed, it meant Yang Yu had abandoned all defense. Therefore, unless he had no other choice, Yang Yu would not use this strike.

Like the Crushing Fist, the Galloping Thunder Blade excelled at explosive bursts over Short Distance and was the most agile and adaptable.

True to its name, the Shadowless Blade was the fastest blade technique in terms of pure blade speed. It excelled at defense and could make the war blade appear wherever he wanted it in the shortest possible time.

Like the Drilling Fist, the Drilling Thunder Blade carried a powerful spiraling intent. It was exceptionally effective against heavily defended enemies and could also be used alongside the Shadowless Blade for defense.

When these five blade techniques had been successfully created,

Yang Yu felt that his insight into the Xingyi Five Elements Fist had deepened another layer.

It seemed as though the Grandmaster realm before him was separated from him by only a thin sheet of paper.

Yet that sheet of paper, which seemed ready to break through at any moment, also felt incomparably distant.

However, the patient Yang Yu was not impatient. Instead, he continued refining his blade techniques and fist techniques.

He even further improved the Soaring Dragon Footwork.

This movement technique now combined all the advantages of blade techniques and fist techniques, while also absorbing the essence of the Twelve Form Fist. It allowed him to maintain Extreme Speed through the Mountain Forest even while using blade techniques and fist techniques at Full Strength, without a single leaf touching his body.

At this point, Yang Yu had completely perfected all his offensive and defensive methods.

He named the five blade techniques the Five Elements Thunder Blade.

He renamed his movement technique the Five Elements Soaring Dragon Footwork.

Furthermore, after two months of immersive training, Yang Yu's Physical Fitness had officially reached the limits of the human body!

In his normal state, his punch strength test result was 1,200 kilograms!

After fully activating the most powerful Tiger Cannon Fist, it reached an astonishing 5,000 kilograms!

His punch-strength amplification exceeded fourfold!

At full burst, his speed also reached an astonishing 30 m/s!

After using the Five Elements Soaring Dragon Footwork, it reached 40 m/s!
