Inner Force Method Fusion
Night fell, and the sea breeze subsided.
The canteen on the giant ship was brightly lit. After the terrifying battle during the day, the martial artists all looked somewhat tired, but the atmosphere was much more harmonious than before. After all, they were all "comrades-in-arms" who had gone through life and death together.
"Brother Dongfang! Come, come, sit here!" Wang Pangzi, with his sharp eyes, saw Dongfang Yueming enter and immediately waved him warmly. The table in front of him was already laden with a sumptuous feast.
Dongfang Yueming didn't stand on ceremony and walked straight over to sit down opposite Wang Pangzi.
"Brother, I really owe you a debt of gratitude today, otherwise I, Wang Pangzi, would have really lost my life!" Wang Pangzi picked up a large wine jug and poured a full bowl for Dongfang Yueming. "This bowl is for you!"
After saying that, he picked up his bowl, drank it all in one gulp, and his face was full of sincere gratitude.
Dongfang Yueming picked up his wine bowl and took a sip as a response.
Just then, Bai Feng appeared at the entrance of the cafeteria. He spotted Dongfang Yueming at a glance, a hint of resentment and fear flashing in his eyes. Then, as if burned, he immediately looked away and, with a few guards, quickly walked to a secluded corner to sit down, as if afraid of being noticed by Dongfang Yueming.
"Tch, all show-off." Wang Pangzi curled his lip and said disdainfully, "He's all bravado during the day, but he chickens out when he runs into real guns. If it weren't for his dirty tricks, I wouldn't have almost met my maker."
He lowered his voice, leaned closer to Dongfang Yueming, and said with some distress, "Brother Dongfang, to be honest, I've hit a Minor Accomplishment in my ' Wind-Chasing Sword Technique,' and I just can't seem to find the feeling for a breakthrough. You're so knowledgeable, could you give me some pointers?"
Dongfang Yueming glanced at him and said calmly, "Your sword is too fast, but its foundation is unstable, and its power is weak. Speed is not the goal; the key is how to use every bit of power on the blade. Try to slow down and feel the true energy flowing through your meridians and reaching the sword in every instant."
These few simple words, however, resonated like a morning bell, exploding in Wang Pangzi's mind!
He stood there, stunned, his eyes gradually glazing over, the chopsticks in his hand falling to the ground, as if he had fallen into a profound and mysterious state of enlightenment.
After a long while, he suddenly came to his senses, his face lighting up with ecstatic joy. He excitedly stood up and bowed deeply to Dongfang Yueming: "Hearing your words is worth more than ten years of practice! Brother Dongfang, I am deeply grateful!"
He couldn't wait to go back to cultivate, feeling that the bottleneck that had been troubling him for so long was beginning to loosen!
Just then, a waiter respectfully approached Dongfang Yueming's table, bowed, and said, "Mr. Dongfang, the Grandmaster has specially arranged an upper-level room for you. Please follow me."
Dongfang Yueming glanced at Wang Pangzi, whose face was flushed with excitement, slowly stood up, and nodded to the waiter.
Hopefully, the rest of the journey will be safe and sound.
He thought to himself, and followed the waiter, disappearing from the sight of everyone in the cafeteria.
In the corner, Bai Feng watched this scene, his grip on his wine glass tightening involuntarily.
The next day, early morning.
As the first rays of sunlight streamed into the room through the porthole, Dongfang Yueming slowly opened his eyes. A night of breathing exercises left him feeling refreshed.
His mind immediately went to the system panel.
[Points:20422]
[I have enough points. Point Allocation!]
Without the slightest hesitation, the points accumulated overnight, along with the remaining points from yesterday, were transformed into a surging torrent of data and rushed into the skill bar!
[Ding! Consumed 1500 points, "Heaven-Overwhelming Force Condensation Method" upgraded to Minor Accomplishment!]
[Ding! Consumed 2500 points, "Heaven-Overwhelming Force Condensation Method" has been upgraded to Major Accomplishment!]
[Ding! 5000 points consumed, "Heaven-Overwhelming Force Condensation Method" upgraded to Perfection!]
Boom!
A vast and boundless power, like a raging sea, exploded within him! The true energy within him underwent a qualitative transformation at this moment, becoming incredibly solid and profound, as if every strand contained the power to overturn mountains and seas!
The second level of Inner Force Perfection – power as vast as the sea! Achieved!
But this is not the end!
[Add Point Allocation!]
[Ding! Consumed 600 points, "Red Flame Force Condensation Method" upgraded to Entry!]
[Ding! Consumed 1800 points, "Red Flame Force Condensation Method" upgraded to Minor Accomplishment!]
[Ding! Consumed 3000 points, "Red Flame Force Condensation Method" has been upgraded to Major Accomplishment!]
[Ding! Consumed... "Red Flame Force Condensation Method" upgraded to Perfection!]
If the previous power was a raging torrent, then at this moment, a scorching power capable of burning everything also rose from his body!
Water and fire, two completely different methods of condensing energy, are once again drawn together by the power of the "Origin Page" at the moment of reaching Perfection.
[Ding! Detected two similar cultivation techniques, "Heaven-Overwhelming Force Condensation Method" (Perfection) and "Red Flame Force Condensation Method" (Perfection). Initiating fusion...]
[Fusion successful! Obtained a brand new cultivation technique - "Sea-Burning Force Condensation Method"!]
Boom--!
Within Dongfang Yueming's body, a cataclysmic change seemed to have occurred! Water and fire no longer clashed, but transformed into perfect yin and yang, rotating and endlessly regenerating! At this moment, the power within his body reached a level unimaginable to ordinary martial artists—condensed, pure, and domineering!
The third level of Inner Force Perfection, the legendary limit—internal strength transformed into Liuli, intention arising from the mind! Achieved!
Dongfang Yueming slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, feeling the unprecedentedly powerful force within his body, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
[If I were to face that Purple-Horned Demon Serpent again now, even without using the "Sea-Burning Raging Flame Palm," my current, highly refined internal energy alone would be enough to fight it!]
[My Inner Force has reached its limit; next comes the Grandmaster's techniques.]
His gaze seemed to pierce through the layers of the ship's cabins, looking towards the distant Great Xia Dynasty.
[Once we return to Great Xia, we'll take down the Earth Spirit Sect first!]
