Chapter 165 (1/2)

The three Xue Ying figures suddenly each had a total of six arms and three silver spears each.

Although the hundreds of refiner organisms’ eyes momentarily flashed red, their incoming attacks remained unchanged, seemingly showing that they did not care how many arms or spears Xue Ying had. All they thought of was to surround Xue Ying together and suppress him! Hundreds of weapons came pressing over Xue Ying, making him feel defenseless,- like how the saying goes: two arms are hard-pressed against four arms.

Peng peng!

Two of Xue Ying’s phantoms were immediately destroyed.

Facing this kind of joint attack, Xue Ying immediately swept across with his spear!

Bang bang bang! The spear swept across horizontally and remorselessly, clashing against the many weapons of the refiner organisms and causing eight Transcendent refiner organisms to retreat.

Yet there were still 18 refiner organisms attacking him on his left, right, and above.

The spear in Xue Ying’s hands lashed out.

Forcefully sweeping!

Whipping!

Smashing!

In that instant, some Transcendent refiner organisms were swept away, whipped across, and smashed. However, there were a hundred Transcendent refiner organisms in total. If one was smacked away, another one would immediately fill in the empty spot. Furthermore, there was practically no damage inflicted onto their physical bodies, allowing them to rise up once again to joint attack Xue Ying after being swept away.

Truly frightening.

The dense numbers of Transcendent refiner organisms were frantically joint attacking from all sides. Even though Xue Ying smacked away groups and groups of them, more would come filling in those empty spots.

Xue Ying was being entirely surrounded at the center of the swarm! Right now, forming more illusionary images would be futile, since these Transcendent refiner organisms would just attack his original body.

No wonder wanting to triumph over this Hundred-Battles Chamber is so tough, Xue Ying finally understood this point. Even though I’ve comprehended some parts of the True Meaning of Extreme Piercing, it’s useless in this kind of situation when I’m being surrounded.

The Extreme Piercing was something that required penetration! Piercing through! However, it did not imply that one had to stab in order to achieve it. When one smashed the entire spear, the entire spear would just be like a point of Extremity that allowed Xue Ying to utilise the Embryonic Form of his True Meaning of Extreme Piercing, killing his opponent!

However—

Extreme Piercing was not appropriate for him to perform right now.

Because currently, he was being jointly attacked from all directions. What Xue Ying needed now was to have a comprehension towards making his piercing attacks flow like water. For him to defend against 18 Transcendent refiner organisms, his horizontal sweeps, smashes, and other techniques were more focused towards the idea of ‘endless’.

And the Extremity Piercing is a single-target technique.

One move to break it all!

And the desired move was something similar to flowing water. Instead of piercing, it was something akin to smashing with just a single move. This move should be powerful enough to allow him to break through the surface defences of a single Transcendent refiner organism, and it might even be able to push back three to five Transcendents. Nevertheless, even if he could smash the refiner organisms like he desired, there would always be other Transcendent organisms filling in the gap to attack Xue Ying.

True Meaning of Extreme Piercing was more suitable for one-on-one encounters.

This technique was a type of single-target piercing attack.

As Xue Ying pondered the problem within his heart, his hands busied themselves with defending.

Large groups of Transcendent refiner organisms were continuously smacked back! The spear techniques smoothly flowed from one to the next, just like a hurricane and tsunami that swept the world, majestic and mighty. Xue Ying stood at the nucleus of this planetary system. He dared not fly as being above his assailants would increase the area of possible attacks from the Transcendent refiner organisms, which would greatly increase the number of incoming threats.

Walking on the chamber’s surface…

Regardless of where he trod, the Transcendent refiner organisms completely surrounded Xue Ying within a three mile radius, relentlessly attacking him.

…

As Xue Ying fought, he was deep in thought.

My spear’s defensive techniques is clearly weaker by a whole level. Even though the Embryonic Form of True Meaning of Extreme Piercing is formidable, it isn’t appropriate for defence, and neither can it allow my attacks to flow endlessly, Xue Ying pondered how he could improve his spear techniques. A good spear technique would allow his moves to flow like water – smoothly, move by move – and allow his attacks to build in order and create a greater pressure on his enemy during battle.

If he solely depended on Extreme Piercing, the moment it lacked a connection between one move and the next, the technique of Extreme Piercing would fail! He would have no more techniques to use.

Extreme Piercing is just a simple attacking move.

What I require is a complete spear technique.

One that has perfect defence and endless attacks. Perfection in both defence and offense!

During this past year, I’ve thought about this topic for a very long time. I realised that in the area of defence, the Profound Mysteries of Water, Fire and Wind are not suitable. Also, even though this combination has great offensive ability through the power of Extreme Piercing, this fusion does not allow the attack to flow endlessly! And if I focus on using the Profound Mysteries of Wind and Water to allow my attacks to flow endlessly, I will not be able to perform the Extreme Piercing!

Regardless of how I ponder, with just water, fire and wind, I can’t satisfy myself in forming the spear technique I want!
