Extreme Breakthrough: Iron Ridge Art!

Wei Fan woke up again in the afternoon.

"System, add points!"

Wei Fan brought up his status screen.

Name: Wei Fan

Cultivation Technique: Tiger's Breath Art (True Intent Level)

[True Intent State: Special Effects, Infinite Strength, Tiger's Might.]

Iron Ridge Art (Fourth Layer - Can Achieve Extreme Breakthrough)

Three Yuan Battle Art (Fifth Layer - Can Achieve Extreme Breakthrough)

Silver Light Saber Art (Slightly Accomplished - Can be Upgraded)

Energy: 12

Among his current cultivation techniques, both Iron Ridge Art and Three Yuan Battle Art could achieve an Extreme Breakthrough!

Judging by their layers, Three Yuan Battle Art was more powerful than Iron Ridge Art.

"System, how much energy is needed to achieve an Extreme Breakthrough for Three Yuan Battle Art?" Wei Fan inquired.

"Ding, achieving an Extreme Breakthrough for Three Yuan Battle Art requires 50 energy. The host currently has insufficient energy!"

"Fifty energy?" Wei Fan took a deep breath. It seemed he couldn't upgrade Three Yuan Battle Art anytime soon.

However, since achieving an Extreme Breakthrough required so much energy, the power of Three Yuan Battle Art after the breakthrough must be incredibly heaven-defying.

Now, only Iron Ridge Art and Silver Light Saber Art remained.

One was a hardening technique that could greatly increase his defense.

The other was a saber art that could significantly enhance his combat lethality.

"How much energy is needed to achieve an Extreme Breakthrough for Iron Ridge Art?" Wei Fan asked again.

"Ding, achieving an Extreme Breakthrough for Iron Ridge Art requires 10 energy."

Upon hearing this, Wei Fan nodded, his plan forming in his mind.

"Iron Ridge Art, Extreme Breakthrough!"

Wei Fan silently chanted in his heart.

Boom!

A surge of energy appeared out of nowhere and exploded within Wei Fan's body.

Bang!

Wei Fan's physique rapidly expanded, growing from 1.8 meters to 2.4 meters. He looked like a small giant, his muscles bulging, his skin emitting a dark blue luster.

"Such immense strength!" Wei Fan felt his power grow again.

Previously, his pure physical strength was already six thousand jin. After the Extreme Breakthrough of Iron Ridge Art, Wei Fan felt his strength double, surpassing the ten-thousand-jin mark.

If he added the three-times amplification from Three Yuan Battle Art, that would be thirty thousand jin of immense power!

The changes were still ongoing!

The originally dark blue skin began to crack, and golden light erupted from the fissures, spreading across his body like a spiderweb.

Wei Fan drew his Wild Goose Wing Saber and slashed his own arm with full force.

Clang!

Sparks flew from the blade, but his arm remained unharmed, not even a white mark left behind.

"My defense is so high now that I can't even cut myself?" Wei Fan couldn't help but gasp.

Then, to further test it, he took out a Little Flame Talisman and attached it to the saber's hilt.

Clang!

It was still the ear-piercing metallic collision sound.

Wei Fan's entire body felt as if it were forged from steel. Even with the enchantment from the Little Flame Talisman, it couldn't inflict any damage.

"True Intent State - Activate!" Wei Fan exuded an invisible pressure, and dark tiger stripes spread to the saber. The blade flashed with a cold, sharp glint.

"I want to see where my limit is!" Wei Fan slashed down again.

Clang!

The Wild Goose Wing Saber was once again repelled. A shallow white mark was left on Wei Fan's arm.

"With this level of defense, ordinary Black Gloom Monstrosities shouldn't be able to harm me!" Wei Fan murmured to himself.

He had gained 12 energy from killing the Black Gloom, and breaking through Iron Ridge Art consumed 10, leaving him with 2 points. Wei Fan decided to upgrade Silver Light Saber Art again.

A few seconds later, Silver Light Saber Art advanced from [Slightly Accomplished] to [Entering the Hall and Entering the Room].

Afterward, Wei Fan looked at his status screen.

Name: Wei Fan

Skill: Tiger's Breath Art (True Intent Level)

[True Intent State: Special Effects, Infinite Strength, Tiger's Might.]

Iron Ridge Art (True Intent Extreme)

[True Intent State: Special Effects, Immovable as a Ridge, Counter Shock, Counter Injury.]

Three Yuan Battle Art (Fifth Layer - Can Achieve Extreme Breakthrough)

Silver Light Saber Art (Entering the Hall and Entering the Room - Can be Upgraded)

Energy: 0

Besides the Tiger's Breath True Intent, Iron Ridge True Intent had also been added.

Wei Fan didn't know what effect the superposition of these two True Intents would produce.

In short, by depleting all his energy this time, Wei Fan's strength had greatly improved.

He also felt much more confident when facing Monstrosities again.

After familiarizing himself with his strength, Wei Fan walked out of the room.

Wei Yingying was also catching up on sleep. She had stayed up all night worried about Wei Fan's safety.

Now that Wei Fan was home, she could finally sleep soundly.

As dusk approached, Wei Fan slung the Wild Goose Wing Saber over his shoulder, packed some beef jerky, and headed towards the Night Watch Team's encampment.

It was currently May, and the temperature was gradually rising.

The sky was dotted with patches of fiery clouds, resembling a great fire burning in the heavens.

Wei Fan also slowed his pace, looking up at the vast expanse of rosy clouds.

But just then, something unexpected happened!

The sky suddenly darkened, and a vast black sea enveloped the sky.

Boom!

Deep within the sea, an unnameable creature flipped over.

A chilling, terrifying, and sinister aura washed over them.

It was accompanied by black tidal waves hundreds of meters high, engulfing the entire world and roaring forward as if to overturn it.

"Ahhh!"

"Help!"

"Divine punishment from the heavens!"

Wushan Village erupted in fear and commotion.

How could ordinary people not be terrified when faced with such a scene?

Wei Fan also felt his mind shaken.

He sensed that the black sea appearing in the sky was merely an illusion.

Even so, the oppressive feeling from the colossal creature and the deathly fear brought by the tsunami still made one feel suffocated.
