The PUA Method, Stimulate All Cultivation Techniques Twice!

Ye Wudao was stunned by Hu Lianfeng's words.

Could it be that Elder Qin and Hu Lianfeng shared the same enemy?

If even an expert like Elder Qin, who had reached the Lesser Completion of the Xiantian Realm, had been suppressed, just how strong was this Zhang Jianye?

Hu Lianfeng looked at the silent Ye Wudao and chuckled, "What? Are you afraid?"

"If you're afraid, then forget it. We've shared a master-disciple bond, and now that we've spoken our minds, I won't hold any ill will toward you."

"The Great Completion of the Xiantian Realm is indeed a bit difficult for you."

"After all, the resources of the martial arts world are currently held in the hands of these great families."

"The resources you obtain solely by hunting monsters in the Rift World are truly incomparable to those of the Zhang Family."

"Alright! Stop thinking about it and go back to properly recover from your injuries."

"When the time comes, I will pass on a set of blade techniques to you. Practice hard, and who knows? Maybe after many years, you'll have a chance."

"I don't ask for you to destroy the Zhang Family; if you just have a chance to kill Zhang Yuanlin, I will die without regrets!"

Ye Wudao smiled slightly and said, "It's not that I'm afraid; I was just wondering how many years it would take for me to advance to the Great Completion of the Xiantian Realm."

Hu Lianfeng laughed heartily, "Haha! It's enough that you have that thought, but one shouldn't force progress in martial arts. Taking it step by step is the true path."

Ye Wudao nodded and said softly, "Then you must live a long life. When I help you destroy the Zhang Family, I'll come back to bring you the good news."

Hu Lianfeng nodded, "Good! I'll be waiting!"

"However, you seem to have quite a few enemies!"

"The Ye Family of Ye Haipeng, the Li Family of Li Yaozu, and the Zhang Family of Zhang Jianye."

"These three families are all among the top ten great families in Sea City."

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself; just take it one step at a time."

Ye Wudao nodded, "I know that!"

In truth, he had already calculated it in his heart: agreeing to help Hu Lianfeng deal with Zhang Yuanlin was equivalent to offending the Zhang Family.

Without the cultivation of the Great Completion or the Peak of the Xiantian Realm, he absolutely could not go.

However, he had the system, so he was confident that this day would come sooner or later, and it wouldn't be too far off.

He could also clearly feel that after Hu Lianfeng had opened up and spoken to him, some knot in his heart seemed to have been untied, and his entire being felt enlightened.

Hu Lianfeng carried him for another distance until they finally reached the place where they had parked.

Just as Hu Lianfeng had said, there were over a dozen commercial vehicles parked behind their own.

Adding the dozen or so vehicles at the landing point on the other side of the beach, there were over thirty cars in total.

This meant that nearly a hundred people from all the prisons in Sea City were hunting monsters in the Rift World.

Hu Lianfeng placed Ye Wudao in the back seat, folded it flat to let him lie down, and then drove away from the beach.

In the car, Ye Wudao asked Hu Lianfeng again, "Master, who is this Demon Slayer Guard commander you mentioned?"

Hu Lianfeng looked at the road ahead and shook his head, "They aren't one person, but a group—a group composed of Grandmaster Realm experts."

"Each of them is a commander of the Demon Slayer Guard, responsible for guarding the cities where spatial rifts are located, and they rotate to a different city every year."

"Therefore, I don't know who the current Demon Slayer Guard commander of Sea City is."

Ye Wudao pursed his lips and continued to ask, "Are there many spatial rifts like the one in Sea City on Blue Star?"

Hu Lianfeng nodded, "Many! And the number continues to increase every year."

"This is also the reason why the Blue Star Federation and the Demon Slayer Guard are vigorously developing martial arts."

"I once heard a senior in the Xiantian Realm say that if a rift falls, the entire Blue Star will be occupied by monsters."

"Back then, ten Grandmaster Realm experts went deep into the Rift World and encountered incredibly powerful monsters."

"Perhaps after that time, the monsters also discovered us, but they just haven't invaded Blue Star yet."

"If one day the monsters truly invade Blue Star, it will be a nightmare for everyone on the planet."

Ye Wudao lay on the seat and muttered softly, "Monsters stronger than Grandmaster Realm experts? What realm is that?"

Hu Lianfeng laughed, "Don't think so far ahead. If the sky falls, there are taller people to hold it up."

"I heard Elder Qin mention that there are already experts at the peak of the Grandmaster Realm attempting to break through to a higher realm."

"It's just that, so far, it seems no one has succeeded."

Ye Wudao frowned and asked, "What realm is above the Grandmaster Realm?"

Hu Lianfeng shook his head and said, "I don't know the specific name, but I once saw the term 'Martial Golden Core' in an ancient book. I don't know if the Martial Golden Core Realm comes after the Grandmaster Realm."

Ye Wudao whispered, "Martial Golden Core..."

Afterward, the master and disciple chatted idly in the car.

With things clarified, the barrier between them had vanished.

Along the way, it was mostly Hu Lianfeng speaking and Ye Wudao listening.

Hu Lianfeng explained martial arts knowledge to Ye Wudao, along with the major sects currently existing in the martial arts world.

Among them was the Four Blade Sect, the very group that had forced him off the cliff.

The strongest member of this Four Blade Sect was that old woman, the current sect leader, who was merely at the entry level of the Houtian Realm.

The Four Blade Sect was not powerful, and its disciples were few in number.

Back then, Hu Lianfeng had made an agreement with a disciple of the Four Blade Sect, paying two million to purchase their ultimate technique, the "Life-Taking Four Blades."

Who would have thought that the disciple would take the money but refuse to hand over the manual.

Hu Lianfeng was no pushover; he simply killed the man and seized the manual, which was how the feud with the Four Blade Sect began.

Now, this grudge had extended to Ye Wudao as well.

Ye Wudao had already made up his mind: the moment he got out of prison, the Four Blade Sect would be the first target he would cut down.

If Elder Qin hadn't been there today to catch him and channel a strand of Xiantian true energy into him, his little life would have ended right there.

At the same time, Ye Wudao realized a truth about the martial arts world.

The martial arts world was not the world of ordinary people.

In the martial arts world, killing people and seizing treasures was the norm.

When venturing outside, one had to remain guarded against anyone who wasn't completely trustworthy.

The two chatted all the way back to Haicheng First Prison.

Inside Cell No. 1, Ye Wudao lay on his bed, and Hu Lianfeng did not head back to the Rift World.

It was already past ten o'clock; by the time he reached the Rift World, he would have to leave again in five or six hours, so he decided not to waste the time.

The Rift World was open from eight in the evening until six the next morning.

Outside of these hours, everyone was required to leave the Rift World.

With nothing better to do, Ye Wudao opened his system panel to check the progress of his cultivation techniques.

Over an hour had passed, and the Northern Dark Divine Art had gained another 3,500 points of proficiency, bringing his realm experience to 790; he was on the verge of advancing to the Body Forging Realm.

The Eight Extremes Fist had also gained 1,800 points of proficiency, though the Mountain Crushing Fist was a bit slow, sitting at only 1,900 points so far.

"Mountain Crushing Fist, your cultivation speed is a bit slow!"

Seeing this, Ye Wudao began his PUA technique.

[Your martial skill Mountain Crushing Fist has been stimulated by you; it fights harder as it battles, martial skill proficiency +20/minute.]

Sure enough, the next second, a notification appeared on the system panel indicating an increase in the cultivation speed of the Mountain Crushing Fist.

These techniques really need a whip, he thought to himself. Otherwise, the cultivation speed is just too slow!

He had now completely figured out how to use the system.

After a technique leveled up, its automatic cultivation speed would double.

For instance, the Eight Extremes Fist had a cultivation speed of +10/minute before reaching the entry level, and +20/minute after.

If he stimulated a technique and the stimulation was successful, it would trigger automatic cultivation; if he stimulated it successfully again, the automatic cultivation speed would double once more.

Take the Northern Dark Divine Art: he stimulated it once to trigger automatic cultivation, then stimulated it again, bringing it to +20/minute, which became +40/minute after reaching the entry level.

He looked at the Eight Extremes Fist, the only technique on the system panel that hadn't been stimulated twice yet, and performed his PUA mental game once more.

"Eight Extremes Fist, look at the Mountain Crushing Fist! It hasn't even reached the entry level yet, and its cultivation speed is already catching up to yours!"

[Your martial skill Eight Extremes Fist has been stimulated by you; it fights harder as it battles, martial skill proficiency +40/minute.]

[Your martial skill Eight Extremes Fist encountered a Tier 1 demonic beast, battle intent erupted, a fierce fight ensued, martial skill proficiency +50!]

Seeing the new prompt on the system panel, Ye Wudao smiled slightly.

Now, all three techniques had been stimulated twice, and he could not continue.

Stimulating techniques continuously would cause them to enter a state of qi deviation, much like the Northern Dark Divine Art, which would do more harm than good.

Sometimes, knowing when to stop was a skill in itself.
