Chapter 267: Perfect Fit, Frenzied Progress
’These attack techniques are surprisingly expensive, and they’re only at the World Realm level.’
Li Yang was a little surprised as he looked at the information.
The Space Law and Thunder Law manuals he had exchanged for previously were all created by powerhouses at the Emperor Level!
But the level of this "Yuan Wu’s Collection of Space, Thunder, and Fire Element Attack Techniques" didn’t even reach the Divine Realm, a far cry from the level of the manuals he had previously acquired.
One could only imagine the gap between the World Realm and the Emperor Level.
But despite its low level, the price was exorbitant.
Li Yang looked up information on Yuan Wu. Apparently, Yuan Wu possessed immense Talent for the Space, Thunder, and Fire Element Laws, and he had chosen to comprehend all three at the same time.
Furthermore, Yuan Wu was a creation fanatic who loved nothing more than inventing his own attacks during his cultivation.
It took him two thousand years to reach the World Realm, and in that time, he created one thousand different attacks—averaging one new attack every two years.
’The Laws Yuan Wu comprehended are exactly the same as the ones I’m studying now.’
Li Yang thought to himself. ’Each Law has four profound skills, and every genius focuses on one. I’m focusing on the Space Teleportation Profound Skill, the Thunder Burst Profound Skill, and the Fire Element Melting Essence Profound Skill.’
Yuan Wu had also chosen to focus on these same three profound skills, and by relying on them, he had managed to break through to the World Realm with all Three-Element Laws.
Therefore, the thousand attacks he created were a complete record of his journey to master these three profound skills!
’Let’s check out the free section!’ Li Yang opened "Yuan Wu’s Collection of Space, Thunder, and Fire Element Attack Techniques" and began to examine it closely.
A flash of sword light appeared before him.
"This is an attack I, Yuan Wu, created in the Longevity Realm. I successfully perfected it in the Star Lord Realm, and I named it One Profound Sword."
As the Sword Technique was demonstrated, waves of energy pulsed from it. Li Yang clearly sensed the fluctuations of the Teleportation Profound Skill among them—the very skills he was currently studying.
To his surprise, he felt a flash of insight from this Sword Technique!
And this was just an attack Yuan Wu had created while he was in the Longevity Realm.
’Incredible! Yuan Wu is a true genius at creating attacks. To think these three profound skills could be combined and fused in such a way, achieving this level of power!’
Li Yang marveled, carefully sensing the fluctuations of the sword light.
Right now, his Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon, Thunder Star Beast, and Fire Nether Divine Beast avatars were each comprehending a Law, while his true body was responsible for fusing these Three-Element Laws and perfectly converting them into his own power.
The Hexagram Spear was a Cultivation Technique perfectly suited for him. This was because it allowed for the easy integration of up to six different Laws. When practicing it, Li Yang didn’t even need to consciously try to fuse the Laws; the process was natural and effortless.
Practicing the Hexagram Spear also accelerated his comprehension of the Laws.
The entire point of comprehending Laws was to increase one’s strength, and this process went hand-in-hand with practicing a Cultivation Technique.
It was analogous to studying theory versus getting hands-on experience.
By personally putting theory into practice, one could naturally deepen their understanding and even discover deeper truths on their own.
However, the Hexagram Spear required constant practice from Li Yang; it was an incredibly difficult Cultivation Technique.
But this simple Sword Technique before him was like that hands-on experience, giving Li Yang a distinctly different kind of insight!
To put it simply, this Sword Technique was like a simplified version of the Hexagram Spear. While the full technique was incredibly difficult to cultivate, this simplified version was very easy to practice and understand.
As long as he mastered all these simplified versions, mastering the Hexagram Spear itself would be a breeze.
After a full day, Li Yang had completely learned the Sword Technique!
’On to the second attack!’
Immediately, Li Yang began studying the second technique, which was a saber technique created by Yuan Wu.
’Another perfect fusion. It’s demonstrating exactly how to perfectly combine these three profound skills right in front of me.’
Overjoyed, Li Yang became completely engrossed in his study.
He could tell this saber technique was more profound than the previous Sword Technique, integrating a greater degree of the Teleportation, Burst, and Melting Essence Profound Skills.
This made sense. Yuan Wu’s strength had been constantly increasing, so the profound skills he comprehended when he was weaker were naturally less potent.
This time, it took Li Yang a day and a half to learn the saber technique.
After mastering it, Li Yang practiced the fourth form of the Hexagram Spear and was surprised to feel that he had made immediate progress!
Such progress would have taken him more than a week to achieve before.
Realizing this, Li Yang grew ecstatic.
"Haha! Yuan Wu’s attacks are a huge breakthrough for my mastery of the Hexagram Spear, and mastering the Hexagram Spear, in turn, will be a massive boon for my comprehension of the Space Law and the others!"
Li Yang was incredibly excited, his eyes shining brightly.
’One thousand attacks... I’ve only learned two, and I’ve already gained so much insight. If I continue learning...’
This "Yuan Wu’s Collection of Space, Thunder, and Fire Element Attack Techniques" was the perfect Cultivation Technique for him, one that would be of immense benefit to his training!
In fact, even Blade Slaughter, who had recommended this collection to Li Yang, couldn’t have possibly known how immensely beneficial it would be for him, even though he was certain it would help.
After all, Li Yang’s Talent for the Space Law came from his Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon avatar, and his Talent for the Thunder Law came from his Thunder Star Beast avatar. Both were beings born at the World Realm level, so one could only imagine how astonishing their natural Talent for the Laws was.
With just those two, Li Yang’s Talent already ranked among the absolute top tier of the Human Race!
And his Talent for the Fire Element Law came from his Fire Nether Divine Beast avatar—a natural-born Deity!
Thanks to these three avatars, Li Yang’s Talent in all Three-Element Laws was at an absurdly terrifying level.
Now, he had combined that phenomenal Talent with Yuan Wu’s collection of attacks, which perfectly encapsulated the Teleportation, Burst, and Melting Essence Profound Skills.
With all these factors combined... one could only imagine how fast Li Yang’s progress would be!
’Keep going!’
At this moment, Li Yang had no other thoughts. He only wanted to continue studying the attacks Yuan Wu had created.
But when he went to continue, Li Yang froze.
’That’s it?’
After the Sword Technique and the saber technique, the content ended. The first two attacks were free; to see the rest, he would have to spend contribution points.
Li Yang checked his contribution points; he had fifty thousand left.
After exchanging for the collection, he would only have twenty thousand left.
However, Li Yang didn’t hesitate for a moment and chose to make the exchange.
Thirty thousand contribution points were deducted, leaving Li Yang with only twenty thousand.
He wasn’t the least bit concerned, though. Compared to the progress he could make, these contribution points were nothing.
’Time to continue!’ Li Yang thought excitedly as he resumed watching.
The third attack demonstrated was a spear technique, and the integration of the three profound skills had deepened once again!
As Li Yang absorbed the insights, his three main avatars—the Fire Nether Divine Beast, the Sky-Fierce Flood Dragon, and the Thunder Star Beast—were also comprehending with excitement!
With these attacks, combined with his three top-tier avatars, his comprehension of the Laws was constantly yielding new insights!
It took him two days to master the third attack.
It took him two and a half days to master the fourth attack.
