Chapter 4 (1/2)

The synthesis of the cultivation technique depended on its foundation reaching a certain level. The combination of the moves within the technique would then be combined into one move一advancing into a single, more powerful move.

The seven saber techniques that Ye Xiao was currently practicing were divided into seven basic moves, enough for him to combine them into one.

“The synthesis of the saber technique requires the circulation of the soul. It is hard to avoid being discovered by others in the library…”

Ye Xiao pondered for a moment before casting his gaze outside the window.

At that moment, the sky had yet to brighten, and the entire Jianghai city was shrouded in darkness.

“If I remember correctly, there should be a river behind this library, and it’s sparsely populated. It’s still early for me to clock in for work, so I might as well…”

Ye Xiao locked the door, jumped down from the window, and left the library.

That was the first time Ye Xiao had left the library since he came to that world.

The street was very empty. There was only a sanitation worker cleaning under the streetlights in the distance. He seemed to be using a kind of sweeping technique from the Shaolin Martial Arts Academy in Chu province. Ye Xiao had read about it in a book. It was a variation of a basic staff technique.

A cool breeze blew over, making him feel a slight chill. Before he could make a move, the cultivation technique activated, and spiritual energy circulated in his body, immediately shielding him from the cold.

The Internal Strength heart technique that Ye Xiao was currently practicing had two basic heart techniques. One was called the Heart-nourishing Sutra, and the other was called the Spiritual Energy Absorption Art. The speed of absorbing spiritual energy was sub-par, but there were too many plagiarized versions. In a short period of time, he was unable to gather enough to upgrade to a high-grade heart technique.

He exhaled, and with a slight movement of his feet, his body began to run toward the riverside.

Ye Xiao’s speed was not considered slow. He could probably reach the speed of a car at 80 yards.

That was because his movement technique was just ordinary. If he could synthesize it into a high-grade movement technique, he might be able to reach a distance of a mile or even ten miles in a single step.

The scenery around him rapidly changed. It did not take long for Ye Xiao to arrive at the riverside, which was a few miles away from the library.

The water by the riverside was turbulent, and weeds grew on both sides of the river. Compared to a modern city, it was an exceptionally different scene.

The river was about 700 feet wide. It was not considered big, but it was just a tributary. It would be more appropriate to say that it was a big stream.

Nevertheless, Ye Xiao’s thin figure was no different from an ant before it.

Across the river was the largest martial arts academy in Jianghai city, which was also Ye Xiao’s alma mater. Other than that, there were no other buildings, so no one would notice him.

Ye Xiao stopped at a shallow beach to sort out his thoughts and began to perform the first set of saber techniques.

The method of synthesizing saber techniques required the seven basic saber techniques to evolve in order.

As Ye Xiao performed the saber techniques, an invisible long saber condensed from spiritual energy appeared in his hand.

Martial artists whose cultivation had reached grade seven and above could release spiritual energy over a short distance to form their own defense or attack weapons.

It was said that when one’s cultivation had advanced to the Xiantian realm, one could completely achieve the method of releasing spiritual energy. With a casual move, one could attack from hundreds of feet away!

The speed of Ye Xiao’s technique gradually increased. His body also emitted a ray of golden light, illuminating him as if he was a God who had descended to the mortal world.

Many mosquitoes were attracted by the light and buzzed forward one after another. However, when they were within ten meters of Ye Xiao, they instantly scattered into dregs and fell to the ground.

On the ground formed a small pile of mosquito corpses.

At that moment, the area within ten meters of Ye Xiao’s body was completely covered by countless light blades, forming a glowing saber domain.

At the same time, in the Golden Book within Ye Xiao’s body, seven large words appeared on the seven pages with the basic saber techniques printed on them. They emerged according to the characteristics of each page of the cultivation technique.

Pull!

Rotate!

Slash!

Chop!

Break!
