A combat technique developed for the fourth tier

The next moment.

As he felt the sensation transmitted back through his fingers, Li Daoyi's smile faltered slightly.

He glanced at Shen Heng with a strange look, then his smile faded, and he began to sense things carefully once more.

After a while, Li Daoyi's brows gradually furrowed.

Without Shen Heng's consent, he directly raised his hand and pointed at Shen Heng's upper arm and chest.

Shen Heng quietly watched Li Daoyi raise his hand and press it against him, but did not stop him.

The point was to let the other person experience it, so seeing a few more places wouldn't make much difference.

After a long while, Li Daoyi removed his hand from Shen Heng's body.

Just as Shen Heng was about to speak, he saw Li Daoyi close his eyes.

Is this... an attempt at cultivation?... Shen Heng stared speechlessly at the scene before him.

Although what you did was just to prevent the other party from taking the technology to headquarters for evaluation and claiming that they created it themselves, isn't what you did a bit inappropriate?

Shen Heng slowly shook his head and continued eating his breakfast.

In the middle of the meal, he picked up the empty bowl he had finished drinking from and went to the food counter to ask for a bowl of soy milk.

This time, he firmly refused the fat chef's offer of another bowl of soy milk, and then returned to his seat with the new soy milk.

After a while, Li Daoyi finally opened his eyes.

The first thing he did upon opening his eyes was to look directly at Shen Heng.

"The idea of keeping the Origin Power flowing continuously within the body is excellent!"

"But how do you, a mere First Tier, manage to circulate Origin Power throughout your entire body, and how do you maintain it for 24 hours a day?"

Shen Heng took a sip of the freshly served soy milk and said;

"With sufficient control over Origin Power and enough mental strength, one can make Origin Power circulate throughout the body."

"As for maintaining 24-hour service..."

"I can't do that right now. I can only maintain it for two or three hours, and then I have to take a break."

"A certain amount of Origin Power and sufficient mental strength are enough?"

Li Daoyi frowned slightly.

"No, this technique isn't as simple as you think."

"If it's just a temporary circulation within the body, then what you said is indeed enough."

"But simply circulating the Origin Power throughout your body like this is far from enough."

"To truly reach your current state, you need to constantly use your mental strength to control them."

"And mental strength is only involved in the Fourth Tier of cultivation."

"So, your technique is actually developed for Fourth Tier, then..."

Li Daoyi staring straight at Shen Heng.

"How did you manage to cultivate to the point of being only at the First Tier?"

Shen Heng paused slightly upon hearing this.

Although he mastered it with his own abilities, is this skill really that difficult to learn? Does it require reaching the Fourth Tier to master?

and...

Does the Fourth Tier of cultivation involve mental power...?

Shen Heng shook his head, not thinking about it any further, and instead offered his own ideas regarding Li Daoyi's question.

"Wouldn't it be better to increase the amount of flowing Origin Power? That way, even if there are occasional fluctuations in Origin Power, it won't affect the Origin Power · Flow along the main path."

Li Daoyi and said:

"Yes, but he himself needs to have cultivated mental power beforehand; otherwise, he won't even be able to construct a path for Origin Power to flow throughout his body."

"And even if it's built that way, you still need to constantly monitor the entire path, otherwise it will break down very quickly."

"But that would be too mentally taxing, and not worth the effort."

"This technique truly demonstrates its value at the Fourth Tier."

"With the aid of mental power at the Fourth Tier, the pressure of continuously operating this technique will be greatly reduced, and the technique can be permanently maintained within the user."

Is that so...? Shen Heng nodded thoughtfully.

"Hey, you still haven't told me how you, a mere First Tier cultivator, managed to reach this level?" Li Daoyi asked again.

Shen Heng looked up at Li Daoyi and said:

"My abilities can assist me in cultivating this skill, reducing its difficulty."

"Your abilities?" Li Daoyi looked at Shen Heng with some doubt.

"Mm." Shen Heng nodded.

"My ability is Hearing Enhancement, which allows me to hear abnormal vibrations in the flow of Origin Power within my body, so this skill is much easier for me to master."

"I only need to allocate a portion of my mental energy to construct this path, and then use the rest as a reserve to maintain it when I hear the Origin Power emitting an abnormal tremor."

"However, even so, it's still very mentally taxing, which is why I can only last two or three hours."

"Hearing Enhancement?" Li Daoyi asked, frowning.

"Yes!" Shen Heng nodded in confirmation.

Seeing that Shen Heng had confirmed it, Li Daoyi frowned and looked him up and down carefully for a few moments, then clicked his tongue twice with some regret.

It's a pity about this kid. If he had a better ability, he would have had a very bright future. Now...

But can an ability like Hearing Enhancement really play a special auxiliary role in cultivation?

That's interesting!

"So, you have to be at the Fourth Tier to learn this technique?" Shen Heng asked.

"Of course, for those at the first, second, and third tiers..."

Li Daoyi stopped halfway through his sentence, his gaze fixed on Shen Heng.

"You brat, you didn't go to headquarters for the assessment because you were thinking about how people at the first, second, and third levels would train?"

Shen Heng did not deny it and nodded.

To get your created techniques listed on the Martial World Easy Exchange, it's not enough for you to simply know how to use them.

You also need to summarize it so that others can learn it too. Otherwise, if you upload a combat technique that only you can learn, then it's blatant fraud.

This is also why Shen Heng has not gone to headquarters for evaluation.

Seeing Shen Heng's confirmation, Li Daoyi smiled and said:

"Hey... go ahead and do the evaluation without worry, just remind me that only Fourth Tier can practice."

"Thank you, Daoist Master!" Shen Heng nodded in gratitude.

Li Daoyi waved his hand.

"Old Daoist, I won't take advantage of you. I've learned your style, so I'll return the favor with an equal combat technique! What type of combat technique do you want?"

Upon hearing that there was an unexpected bonus, Shen Heng's eyes lit up, and he looked at Li Daoyi and asked:

"Is there anything you can offer, Daoist priest?"

"Hey, you look down on Clear Wind Temple! Our Clear Wind Temple has been passed down for hundreds of years, what don't we have?" Li Daoyi said with dissatisfaction.

"But aren't combat techniques only considered combat techniques if they're integrated into the Origin Power system? If they're just ordinary moves, then they're worthless, right?" Shen Heng said.

"Don't worry, I've integrated a lot of things from the temple into the Origin Power system over the past few years. Just tell me what you need!"

Li Daoyi smacked his lips twice, then lowered his voice and whispered:

"Of course, don't choose anything too out of the ordinary, like a meteor hammer or something similar; Clear Wind Temple certainly doesn't have any of those!"

After saying that, he straightened his back slightly.

"However, Clear Wind Temple still has plenty of normal swords, spears, clubs, punches, and kicks!"
