Chapter 14: Too Lazy to Improve the Flying Blade Technique

“Oh my gosh! Does the Flying Blade Technique become this powerful after breaking through to the first level of Spirit Release?”

“Terrifying! The initial speed of the thorny fruit is actually 1100 meters per second. Before the invention of energy laser devices, even the best firearms didn’t have bullets that fast.”

“No wonder he came to find the green leopard. It turns out that after breaking through to the first level of Spirit Release, the transformation of spirit power greatly enhances the power of the technique.”

“I’m so jealous! I really want to learn the Flying Blade Technique. Why doesn’t he just write down the techniques for it?”

“Idiot! The improved version of the Chaos Technique is the most important. Without the improved version of the Chaos Technique, we won’t be able to advance to the second or third level after breaking through to the first level of Spirit Release!”

“I wonder how the major research institutions are doing. When will they be able to come up with a better technique than the improved version of the Chaos Technique?”

“They’re just starting to prepare, but once they get going, it’ll be quick.”

“After all, it’s a project heavily funded by various corporations and top billionaires. I estimate it will take about three to five days to prepare the personnel, equipment, and venue.”

“As for researching a technique better than the improved version of the Chaos Technique, that should be easy!”

“Remember, Yi Chen spent only around three days improving the Chaos Technique.”

“With the huge manpower, resources, and cutting-edge research equipment from major institutions, along with the collective brainstorming of those geniuses, they could probably create a better cultivation technique in just a few hours.”

“If you think about it, within five days, they will definitely have a better technique than the improved version of the Chaos Technique to announce.”

“That would be great!”

“Speaking of which, these corporations and top billionaires are very generous, especially in attracting cultivation talents; it’s like they’re competing for talent.”

“It all started with the Yiyao Group. Initially, they offered an annual salary of 300,000. Within just an hour, they changed it to 1 million a year.”

“Then other corporations and billionaires jumped in the bidding war, offering 2 million, 3 million, 4 million… All of them were desperately raising the price. Who knows, maybe in half a day, we will see job ads with annual salaries in the tens of millions.”

“Many ordinary people who used to earn just over 100,000 a year suddenly jumped into the middle class. These contracts from the corporations are for long terms.”

“Unfortunately, why am I not a cultivation genius? I missed this golden opportunity to rise from the bottom.”

“Honestly, Yi Chen’s emergence has created millions of middle-class individuals.”

The viewers in the live room were amazed by the rise in power after breaking through to Spirit Release and reflected on the changes and impacts Yi Chen brought to all humanity.

Of course, there was also anticipation and hope that those research institutions, armed with vast funds and supported by cultivation talents, could quickly release better cultivation techniques.

In the forest, Yi Chen continued to slowly wear down the swaying green leopard.

Finally, after more than ten minutes, with dozens of thorny fruits embedded in its eyes, forehead, and throat, the green leopard finally collapsed.

The ground shook, and dry leaves fluttered.

“Finally solved it!”

Yi Chen couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

This battle, while won easily, made him see many shortcomings.

“The Flying Blade Technique seems to need some improvements; otherwise, the sonic booms generated at high speeds are too easy to attract the opponent’s attention.”

“Moreover, its power isn’t great; it needs significant enhancement.”

This battle was actually a bit tougher than Yi Chen had expected, as he thought he could take down the green leopard in two or three minutes.

However, after struggling for nearly twenty minutes, the biggest problem lies in the many flaws of the Flying Blade Technique.

The first issue is the sonic boom.

Although the thorny fruit is small, its speed exceeds the speed of sound, causing a sonic boom.

This sonic boom easily reveals the user’s location to the opponent.

In the opponent’s blind spot, it fails to deliver a surprise attack.

If he encounters a fierce beast that reacts faster than the green leopard, it would be very difficult to hit its weak points consistently.

Another drawback is its limited power.

Against a massive beast like the green leopard, while the thorny fruit can penetrate, its small size means that even a direct hit to the vital area requires continuous attacks.

It’s like the green leopard’s basketball-sized eyes.

He would need to hit those eyes with three or four thorny fruits in a row to actually blind them.

To solve these two major problems, he undoubtedly needs to improve the Flying Blade Technique.

“Forget it, the Flying Blade Technique is just a transitional method and will be eliminated soon. There’s no need to waste time improving it.”

After a brief calculation, Yi Chen quickly dismissed the thought.

Hidden weapon attacks are merely a means of attack for him at this stage, without any weapons available.

Its lethality cannot compare to that of swords or knives.

Even for ranged attacks, he will eventually need to rely on sword techniques and knife techniques.

After breaking through to Spirit Release, he will be able to release spirit energy, producing sword energy and knife energy.

As his strength grows, the sword energy and knife energy will only extend further.

In fact, controlling the sword with energy to strike an enemy’s head from a thousand miles away is not a mere fantasy.

Since the Flying Blade Technique will eventually be phased out, there’s really no need to waste time and energy improving it.

…

“What’s going on?”

“Is he actually criticizing the Flying Blade Technique?”

“With the Flying Blade Technique, even a small stone can kill fierce beasts, and he wants to eliminate it, even being too lazy to take the time to improve it?”

“Wow, while we are amazed by the powerful capabilities of the Flying Blade Technique, Yi Chen is thinking of getting rid of it?”

The audience in the live room were left speechless by Yi Chen’s few words.

No one expected that such a powerful technique would be seen as merely pending elimination in Yi Chen’s eyes, without the desire to spend time upgrading it.

Keep in mind that the current power of the Flying Blade Technique is already greater than that of firearms before the invention of energy laser devices.

With this Flying Blade Technique, Yi Chen can kill Level 10 Fierce Beasts, which only genetic warriors can contend with, in just two months.

They simply couldn’t comprehend what kind of technique could be stronger than the Flying Blade Technique.

…

In the forest, after confirming that the green leopard was completely lifeless, Yi Chen returned to the valley where the Flame Mountain Tribe is located.

Although his spirit power transformed after breaking through to the first level of Spirit Release, allowing his strength to increase to a terrifying level,

it was still unrealistic for him to drag the several hundred-ton green leopard back to the Flame Mountain Tribe with a single effort.

So, he needed to go back and find someone to help carry it.
