Chapter 621 - 610: Perfected Realm
Though Wu De and Tai Yi are strong, how can they withstand the tenfold increase of the Proud Cold Six Formulas?!
They were easily killed.
It is as normal as can be.
[Achievement Medal Acquired: You have earned Nie Feng’s profound admiration.]
[Annotation: Your power leaves Nie Feng utterly shocked! He has once again deeply realized the absolute disparity in strength between you two! He regards you as a Celestial Being!]
Nie Feng had acquired one before.
Now he has acquired another.
It seems that the achievement medals here with Nie Feng are unlikely to occur anymore in the future.
Ding Ling was indifferent.
He casually flipped over Wu De and Tai Yi’s clothes, and as expected, there were things on their bodies.
Ding Ling grabbed a pouch and three scrolls from mid-air.
Among them, the pouch and two scrolls were discovered from Wu De’s embrace.
Ding Ling didn’t dawdle.
He directly opened the pouch for a look.
Inside were sharp hidden weapons.
The hidden weapons were of purple blood color.
They had grooves.
They resembled a miniature four-sided sword.
"Could it be that these are Wu De’s Purple Blood Needle?"
Wu De was adept at deploying the Purple Blood Needle as a hidden weapon.
Yet in the battle with Ding Ling just now, due to the saber techniques being so swift, and the saber light falling and crushing too fiercely, he didn’t even have the time or opportunity to take out the Purple Blood Needle from his embrace before being slain.
But even if he had taken out the Purple Blood Needle, it would be useless against Ding Ling.
The most toxic part of the Purple Blood Needle is just a bit at its tip.
And Ding Ling is immune to all poisons.
This measly toxin is of no harm to him.
Nonetheless, this Purple Blood Needle hidden weapon is evidently quite admirable, so Ding Ling casually put it away.
He looked at the other three scrolls.
He opened one.
The first three words that came into view made Ding Ling’s heart skip a beat.
These three words were none other than the Holy Heart Technique!
"Emperor Shitian actually gave Wu De the Holy Heart Technique?!"
Ding Ling found it somewhat incredible, until he skimmed through it roughly:
"It’s actually a fragmented heart technique of the Holy Heart Technique."
Ding Ling quickly scanned through.
[Holy Heart Technique (fragmented) - Full Level]
[Inner Power Value +150]
Surging Primordial Spirit energy came rushing in.
Ding Ling instinctively operated the Eternal Youth Technique, only to find it couldn’t be refined.
After a short while.
A particularly unique Holy Heart True Qi emerged within his Dantian.
This True Qi bore wings, with tail wings, and when it spread them, it resembled a phoenix.
Moreover, the healing power of this True Qi was extremely strong.
Wherever it passed.
It could soothe all disturbances.
Its ability to mediate was top-notch.
"It is rumored the Holy Heart Technique can render the cultivator immortal, bring them back to life; I used to have doubts, but now it seems if the non-fragmented Holy Heart Technique reached full level, the inherent Holy Heart True Qi indeed possesses the power to prolong life.
Of course, the premise is that it must be full level, and this Holy Heart True Qi must be sufficiently abundant, otherwise, if the Holy Heart True Qi is lacking, how much can life expectancy actually extend?"
"It’s unfortunate that the inner power heart technique of the Holy Heart Technique is fragmented; if it were complete, reaching full level, it would definitely be top-tier inner power heart technique, comparable to the Demon Scripture."
Ding Ling put the scroll into his storage pouch.
He picked up the other two scrolls once again.
He opened them one by one.
Among these two scrolls, there was also a scroll of the fragmented Holy Heart Technique, identical to the previous one.
And this fragmented scroll came from Tai Yi.
No need to say.
Xu Fu certainly granted the same reward to both of them.
Ding Ling looked at the last scroll.
It clearly recorded the martial arts heart technique content of the Dry Ice Palm.
Ding Ling quickly finished reading.
[Dry Ice Palm - Full Level]
[Strength +0.4]
[Agility +0.4]
[Constitution +0.4]
This is evidently a shattering initial tier palm technique, comparable to Celestial Destiny Sword Dao and Black Tortoise Divine Palm.
Ding Ling swiftly mastered it to full level.
Thus, he knew how strong this palm technique was.
Even compared to the complete version of Celestial Frost Fist, it was superior by more than a notch!
Whoosh whoosh!
The Extreme Cold Martial Dao True Intent surging out of Ding Ling’s body kept swirling, finally retreating into Ding Ling’s body amidst the whooshing sound.
With the mastery of Dry Ice Palm.
Ding Ling’s understanding and control of extreme cold, utmost cold deepened further.
"That Wu De actually possessed the scroll of Dry Ice Palm’s secret manual, needless to say, either he learned it illicitly, or Tai Yi gave it to him. As for why Tai Yi gave it?"
Ding Ling found this impossible to comprehend.
But no matter what.
He had obtained the benefits and was disinclined to ponder the rationale.
He softly closed his eyes.
Carefully sensed himself.
He had just absorbed as much as 1000 Inner Power Value from Wu De.
And 700 from Tai Yi.
Not comparable to the 1500 and 1600 from Divine General and Ice Emperor.
The root cause.
Naturally, lies in that the two’s strength fell short of Ice Emperor and Divine General.
Furthermore, Wu De and Tai Yi spent all their energy in a desperate final strike, consuming a lot of True Qi, and were chopped into pieces by Ding Ling, causing their True Qi to disperse more swiftly.
So in the end, Ding Ling absorbed this much Inner Power Value.
But even so.
Ding Ling was quite satisfied.
This was much quicker than consuming Great Medicine.
After absorbing these two’s True Qi.
Ding Ling’s Dantian gained as many as 17 Longevity True Qi.
Combining with the earlier Longevity True Qi, it finally amassed into 6 drops of Longevity True Water.
[True Power Value: 51 points]
"Great Perfection at Grandmaster level!"
Ding Ling never expected advancing in Grandmaster level to be so challenging.
Only complete at 51 points!
This shows that the disparity among Grandmasters is as vast as an abyss.
Grandmaster at Great Perfection can easily crush initial tier Grandmaster experts!
"It seems the more progress in martial arts, the greater the gap between each rank becomes!"
At early stages of martial arts.
Initial tier, middle tier, high tier differences are not very big.
But as progression continues, the gap may appear small, but compared to earlier ones, the difference is vast. Unfathomable.
"Reaching Grandmaster at Great Perfection, fewer people in this world can withstand me!"
Ding Ling’s confidence soared.
Nie Feng was left completely stunned beside him.
The whole person was dumbfounded!
Ding Ling’s mastery of the Proud Cold Six Formulas he heard from his father, but Ding Ling’s Proud Cold Six Formulas were so aggressive that it left a profound impact on him! He couldn’t help but produce an absurd thought in his mind: Was the Proud Cold Six Formulas really the Nie family’s family heirloom saber technique, or the Ding family’s?
No wonder he thought so.
It’s simply because his father’s Proud Cold Six Formulas, and including his own, were too far apart from Ding Ling’s!
It felt like Ding Ling’s Proud Cold Six Formulas was the authentic one.
And what they learned seemed fake!
Besides this.
The sight of Ding Ling flipping through the scrolls, secret manuals, and instantly mastering them to Great Perfection was also captured by him, causing his eyes to twitch continuously, exclaiming:
"The talent of the Venerable Lord is truly inhuman!"
If quickly mastering the Ten Strong Martial Dao was merely luck, or inherent compatibility with the Ten Strong Martial Dao.
Then how to explain now mastering the enemy’s palm and inner power heart techniques so swiftly?
All that’s left to say is.
His Venerable Lord, is one with unprecedented talent, grand beyond belief, a prodigy!
He is a myth set to ascend!
He is a star on the rise, a true dazzling sun!
