Without hesitation, he decisively paid the corresponding Yanfu Points.

"Click--"

Inheritance Scroll shattered in response, turning into countless fragments flowing with azure starlight.

These fragments gathered rapidly in the air, and finally formed a leopard-shaped shadow that was strong, elegant, and yet carried the power of the waves.

The whole body of the leopard shadow was composed of flowing dark blue water, but its eyes were like two cold stars.

It raised its head and let out a silent roar, then turned into a stream of blue light and rushed towards Chen Jin, instantly sinking into the depths of his soul.

Chen Jin felt his soul tremble, and his consciousness seemed to sink into an endless deep blue water.

Here, Ji Water Leopard restrained his minions and walked slowly around a strange being not far away.

It was a fungus that looked like an umbrella cap. Its gills glowed with a dark golden luster, and viscous liquid droplets like amber condensed on the surface. It exuded a vaguely fishy and sweet smell. It was exactly the shape of Flesh of Vision.

Ji Water Leopard walked around twice, seemingly confirming that the surroundings were safe, and finally curled up next to Flesh of Vision, with its star-like beast eyes half-squinted, and its tail sweeping across the ground. It really seemed like it was guarding this strange fungus, and it took a nap peacefully.

His consciousness returned to reality, Chen Jin slowly opened his eyes, and there seemed to be a faint blue light flashing under his eyes.

He could clearly feel that his perception of "water" had become sharper than ever before, and the weak water molecules in the air seemed to be bowing to him.

He took out the jade pendant [Azure Mist Rain] obtained from Old Master Zhao and hung it around his neck.

The warm touch came, and his mind moved slightly.

"The clouds are green and green as if it is raining..."

As he groaned in a low voice, the surface of [Azure Mist Rain] was filled with light, and an invisible wave spread around him.

In an instant, with Chen Jin as the center and a radius of three hundred meters, the sky became hazy.

A dense, gauze-like, pattering mist and rain emerged out of thin air.

The rain had a cool touch, shrouding the buildings and streets within the area in a mist of water vapor.

Chen Jin stood in the center of the rain curtain, feeling the landing point of every drop of rain and the flow of every wisp of water vapor within a hundred feet around him, about three hundred and thirty meters.

He took a deep breath and began to activate the power of [Ji Water Leopard] in his body.

He raised his hand, faced the open space in front of him, spread his fingers slightly, and then twisted them slightly.

The rainwater in that area no longer fell vertically bound by gravity, but instead gathered and rotated out of thin air with the rotation of his palm, turning into a small waterspout several meters in diameter and made entirely of rainwater.

The tornado roared, sucking in the fallen leaves and dust on the ground. Although its power was far less powerful than the one set off by Shark Person on Langya Terrace, it already had a shape and considerable kinetic energy.

Then, his mind changed again.

"Disperse!"

The waterspout disintegrated and turned into water droplets floating in the sky.

Then, under his control, these water droplets were pulled by the invisible force field and accelerated instantly. Like countless transparent projectiles, they "swished" through the air and hit an abandoned broken wall in the distance, making a dense "crackling" sound and leaving a mottled and moist trace.

"It doesn't seem to have much power..." Chen Jin curled his lips.

"Looking at the bright side, I'm not afraid of fire anymore."

Finally, with a thought, he triggered the [Traceless] characteristic in the inheritance.

His figure became blurry and transparent in the dense rain curtain, as if he had completely blended into the wind and rain, and his breath had converged to the extreme.

The next moment, only a circle of slightly rippling rain waves was left where he originally stood, and he himself appeared dozens of meters away like a ghost, and the whole process was silent.

Chen Jin stopped, feeling the mental energy consumed in his body and the feeling of controlling water like an arm, finally showing a look of satisfaction on his face.

Chen Jin With a thought in his mind, the long sword [Past Life], as dark as dried blood, appeared in his hand.

The first feeling when holding the sword is that of coldness and heavyness.

Immediately afterwards, a huge and complicated flow of information, mixed with countless fragmented combat experiences, power techniques, and swordsmanship insights, forced its way into his mind like a flood that burst a dam.

What is the concept of 99% swordsmanship proficiency?

Chen Jin didn't even need to think. His wrists, arms, and even the muscles and nerves in his whole body seemed to be possessed by countless generations of swordsman masters, and they were naturally adjusted to the most perfect and coordinated state of exertion.

He felt as if he and the [Past Life] in his hand were integrated into one body. The sword was no longer a foreign object, but an extension of his arm and a manifestation of his will.

He casually took a step forward, his wrist shaking slightly.

"Buzz--"

[Past Life] let out a low and pleasant cry, and the dark sword drew an arc in the rain curtain that was almost impossible to catch with the naked eye.

There was no earth-shattering momentum, only a subtle sound breaking through the air.

However, the rain curtain in front seemed to be separated by an invisible boundary. When the sword pointed, the dense rain line was instantly cut off, forming a vacuum-like passage.

Farther away, on an abandoned bluestone pier half as tall as a man, a thin hair-like cut mark quietly appeared on the surface.

After a moment of silence, the upper half of the stone pier slowly slid down along the smooth, mirror-like cut surface and hit the ground with a "bang". The fracture was flat and smooth.

This sword is extremely fast, accurate, and ruthless, and the use of power is extremely wonderful, without any wastage, and it fully demonstrates the realm of 99% professional swordsmanship.

This feeling of being in control of everything, as if being able to cut off all obstacles in front of you, is truly intoxicating.

However, a price also comes.

Almost at the same time that he experienced this supreme sword realm, he clearly felt a strange suction force coming from the palm of his right hand holding the sword hilt.

It was as if there were countless invisible small mouths growing on the hilt of the sword, greedily sucking his blood.

An obvious feeling of weakness immediately spread from his arms, and there was even a hint of dizziness hitting the top of his head.

He looked down. Although he couldn't see anything on the outside, he could feel that the muscle vitality in the palm of his hand was declining slightly.

Chen Jin immediately let go of his hand, [Past Life] turned into a dark light and disappeared, returning to Personal Mark, and then the strange suction stopped.

This is [Blood Feeding].

To invoke the power of [Past Life], you need to sacrifice your own flesh and blood.

What, my first inheritance is [Flesh of Vision]?

That's okay.

The rain gradually stopped, and the scope of the misty rain created by [Azure Mist Rain] slowly shrank, eventually turning into a touch of warm water on the jade pendant.

Chen Jin stood alone on the gradually clearer streets, closing his eyes and concentrating, passing through his mind one by one the various aspects of this improvement, making a calm and comprehensive assessment.

Today, he has formed a three-dimensional and difficult combat system of survival, maneuvering, concealment, and explosion.

Perhaps it is still not the best in terms of pure strength, but its degree of difficulty and tactical diversity have made a qualitative leap.

"The shield is strong, the spear is sharp, and the wind and rain are in the palm of your hand."

He whispered to himself, with a cold arc at the corner of his mouth.

"This escape incident... let me see who is behind this chess game."
