Chapter 54: Rapid Changes
“I want to cry but I have no tears. I just can’t understand. They are all techniques at the Spirit Release level. He has already taught the Cloud Treading Technique, so why would he go and create a weakened version of the Heaven-Slashing Technique?”
“I was so excited, thinking I finally learned all of Yi Chen’s skills and would no longer feel frustrated about not being able to learn powerful techniques. But in the end, it turned out to be just the weakened version of the Heaven-Slashing Technique.”
“I underestimated Yi Chen. His thoughts are truly hard to predict. I had a feeling earlier that I shouldn’t rejoice too soon; otherwise, something unexpected would definitely happen.”
“Forget it, let’s be content! Before this, we thought we would have to wait over a month to learn the Complete Version of the Cloud Treading Technique. But here we are, learning it today—it’s already a huge surprise.”
“A surprise is a surprise, but it’s still very frustrating. Mainly, we thought Yi Chen would teach us the Heaven-Slashing Technique. Just when we were excited, he suddenly gave us this shocking blow.”
“So, in front of Yi Chen, we need to learn to control our emotions. We can’t be too happy when we’re happy, or too down when we’re upset. Because we never know when Yi Chen will surprise us or when he’ll hit us with a shocking revelation.”
The audience in the live room sighed.
Being able to learn the Complete Version of the Cloud Treading Technique over a month early should have been a tremendous good thing.
However, just when they thought they could certainly learn the Heaven-Slashing Technique too, it suddenly turned into the weakened version. That feeling was indeed unbearable.
…
In the valley, Guli and the others, unaware of the Complete Version of the Heaven-Slashing Technique, were undeniably filled with excitement.
They didn’t expect that after learning the more powerful Cloud Treading Technique, the clan leader actually had new skills to teach them.
The weakened version of the Heaven-Slashing Technique was like a strong blow to the Federal citizens, but for Guli and the others, it was a delightful surprise.
“The Heaven-Slashing Technique is divided into six forms, and as the name suggests, it requires the momentum to cut through the heavens. This unstoppable momentum is one of the essences of the Heaven-Slashing Technique, but it is not absolute…”
Yi Chen began to explain the methods and principles of the Heaven-Slashing Technique.
He did not teach the Spirit Release version of the Heaven-Slashing Technique. Instead, he took the time to develop a weakened version because Guli and the others simply wouldn’t be able to learn the Heaven-Slashing Technique at their current level.
Although the Heaven-Slashing Technique is at the Spirit Release level, and theoretically, anyone at that level should be able to learn it, theory and reality are quite different.
The Heaven-Slashing Technique requires an understanding of sword intent.
And sword intent cannot be explained by words or language; it is the comprehension and mastery of the sword path.
Even Yi Chen had felt lost at first and slowly grasped it through a sudden flash of insight.
For Guli and the others, who had no foundation in swordsmanship, it was impossible for them to comprehend sword intent.
Thus, Yi Chen had to settle for a compromise.
He decided to waste no time and first create a weakened version of the Heaven-Slashing Technique.
The main effectiveness came from the energy circulation pathways.
Additionally, there were some profound sword techniques involved.
Once Guli and the others learned the weakened version of the Heaven-Slashing Technique and built some foundation in swordsmanship through practice, they would gradually become capable of understanding sword intent.
Only then could he teach them the Complete Version of the Heaven-Slashing Technique.
Fortunately, the weakened version of the Heaven-Slashing Technique could still greatly enhance the strength of Guli and the other Spirit Release tribe members without needing to rush.
From the application of sword techniques to the intricacies of swordsmanship and the power of Sword Energy, Yi Chen explained tirelessly from morning until evening until Guli and the others barely managed to learn.
The audience in the live room listened with great interest, continuously admiring the wonders of swordsmanship, but their smiles never shone as brightly as Guli’s.
…
Back in the wooden house, Yi Chen began to focus on his own training.
As he expected, with Guli and the others breaking through to the Spirit Release stage and learning the Complete Version of the Cloud Treading Technique and the weakened version of the Heaven-Slashing Technique, the Flame Mountain Tribe’s high-end combat strength instantly rose to a new level.
Their power immediately created a clear divide between them and the ordinary tribe members.
The frequency of fierce beasts being unable to defeat them and needing Yi Chen to step in clearly decreased.
With their strong power, they could now intimidate an increasing number of fierce beasts.
The speed of expansion surged significantly.
By the next day, the territory of the Strongest Talent System expanded by ten thousand square kilometers.
As the territory expanded and their talents improved, Yi Chen’s training speed also increased daily.
Though not very noticeable yet, it grew day by day.
In the Flame Mountain Tribe, those filthy and chaotic thatched cottages were finally all torn down and rebuilt.
Countless pieces of wood streamed continuously from the southern forest into the valley.
The entire tribe became orderly and completely transformed.
But the most significant change was in the spirit and energy of the tribe members.
Having enough food had once been the greatest dream of the Flame Mountain Tribe’s people, something they could only hope for.
Now, this once unattainable dream had already become a thing of the past.
In a radius of hundreds of kilometers, all was the territory of the Flame Mountain Tribe.
The plants and animals within that territory were countless, especially considering the tribe’s total population was only about one thousand six or seven hundred people.
Even multiplying that by a hundred would be more than enough.
Every tribe member, regardless of age or gender, feasted daily, only worrying about having too much food to finish.
The human federation also experienced rapid changes, with different developments happening daily.
The once-busy streets filled with vehicles dwindled in number.
On the wide roads, the number of pedestrians surged.
Their speed even exceeded that of the vehicles.
As a result, the federation had to revise traffic rules, significantly widening sidewalks and designating high-speed zones for pedestrians.
Regular sidewalks prohibited running at full speed to prevent accidents, especially for those elderly or young who lacked strength, as a collision at supersonic speeds would be even more dangerous than an automobile crash.
The era of universal training had arrived.
In squares, parks, and other leisure areas, people practicing the Cloud Treading Technique and the Heaven-Slashing Technique could be seen everywhere.
Various skills training programs bloomed like bamboo shoots after rain on all life planets.
Many prestigious universities were exploring the feasibility of establishing cultivation majors.
Some visionary groups and companies were also actively recruiting talents with high salaries.
Though these talents might not be immediately useful after joining, the future remained unpredictable.
Some far-sighted individuals subtly sensed the budding emergence of a strength-respecting society amid this cash-centric era.
The entire human society underwent a dramatic change due to Yi Chen’s sudden emergence.
And this change continued to accelerate.
Even the top analysts of humanity could not forecast the future’s direction.
Because everything depended on how far Yi Chen could go and when his limits would be reached.
The Federal Parliament, the Military, the conglomerates, and various factions all worked hard to strategize for the future based on the current situation.
