Chapter 86: Another Method of Cross-Level Challenge!
Deep within the inner court, amidst the purple clouds, Xiao Ze's figure swiftly flew.
During his journey, a reckless flying magical beast mistook Xiao Ze for prey.
But as soon as it approached, Xiao Ze obliterated it with a single punch, turning it into a cloud of blood.
At that moment, the full extent of his physical strength was vividly displayed.
Even in front of Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Yi Xian, Xiao Ze had to restrain his surging physical power slightly.
However, in this deserted place, no one dared to bring trouble to him.
For anyone who dared to do so, their fate would be reduced to mere blood mist!
With lightning speed, Xiao Ze's fingers delved into the blood mist.
When he withdrew his hand, he held a faint blue magic core between his fingertips.
In a swift motion, Xiao Ze's figure had already flown far away.
"If it isn't strength that matters!"
"This wind attribute third-grade magic core, if sold outside, would fetch at least two hundred thousand gold coins!"
"Back when I was weak, spending two thousand gold coins on a feast for a magical beast made me cringe."
"Now, holding this third-grade magic core worth two hundred thousand gold coins between my fingers, it doesn't feel particularly precious."
Xiao Ze murmured to himself.
With a flick of his wrist, he stowed the third-grade magic core into his storage ring.
In the future, mastering alchemy would make these magic cores incredibly useful.
After all, most precious pills required magic cores as the main ingredient!
It's the demand for magic cores by alchemists that keeps their prices high.
Even though he hadn't become an alchemist yet, it was prudent to collect some magic cores in advance.
With a flash of thought, Xiao Ze's eyes lit up as a magnificent waterfall came into view.
The deafening sound of rushing water could be heard clearly even from high in the sky.
"This is an excellent place for cultivation!"
Xiao Ze's figure descended slowly.
The ideal place to cultivate the latter half of the Bi Hai Jing Tao was actually the vast sea.
But unfortunately, the sea was tens of thousands of miles away from here.
It would take years for Xiao Ze to fly there!
Nevertheless, this enormous waterfall was also a suitable place for cultivation.
The Bi Hai Jing Tao required a massive amount of Dou Qi to condense the terrifying waves.
If there were abundant water sources and water elements, it would minimize the expenditure of Dou Qi.
Xiao Ze landed gently on the river above the waterfall.
With his superb control over water attribute Dou Qi, Xiao Ze could stand on the surface of the water.
"The core of the overlapping method is to layer one wave upon another, simulating the waves of the sea..."
Xiao Ze closed his eyes, recalling the cultivation content of the latter half of the Bi Hai Jing Tao.
He went over the combat techniques he had mastered thoroughly.
With lightning-fast hand seals, Xiao Ze's hands moved so quickly it was dizzying.
He began with the first part of the Bi Hai Jing Tao, not surpassing the limit but unleashing its power as an advanced level Xuan class technique, not just a ground level one.
Giant waves surged on the river.
Since there were no enemies present, Xiao Ze drew from and directed the river itself.
The crashing waves resounded, echoing through the surroundings.
"The power is there, but it's not enough!"
Xiao Ze muttered to himself, continuing his hand seals.
He had already mastered the hand seals perfectly earlier.
But this time, it was the first time he had coordinated them with Dou Qi, so Xiao Ze chose to proceed cautiously.
"The core of the overlapping method is to gather the remaining power of the previous attacks and then use several times more Dou Qi to form the overlap!"
Boom!
A massive wave surged directly, reaching the peak power of an advanced Xuan class technique and nearly rivaling the power of a ground class technique!
Just one overlap could achieve such a level!
Xiao Ze's eyes narrowed slightly as his hands continued their movements.
The next step would probably unleash the true power of a ground class technique.
As expected, the surrounding elemental energy began to frenzy.
Compared to Xiao Ze forcibly elevating a ground class technique, this time the frenzy of elemental energy was even more massive and violent!
Xiao Ze forcibly elevating a ground class technique was ultimately just a castrated version.
But the Bi Hai Jing Tao at this moment truly possessed the terrifying power of a ground class technique!
Consecutive overlaps of the Bi Hai Jing Tao's power made even Xiao Ze widen his eyes in astonishment.
The terrifying waves crashed onto the river's surface, sending the flowing river backward.
The continuous waves surged forth, spreading far and wide, revealing a large section of the riverbed.
Behind Xiao Ze, the waterfall ceased flowing without a source to replenish it!
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ze couldn't help but continue forming hand seals.
A vast amount of Dou Qi surged within him as he prepared for the third overlap to see what level of power it could achieve!
Gathering the power of the previous three waves, this wave crashed down, shattering the nearby cliffs!
Boom!
Countless rocks tumbled downward with the rushing water.
A hint of excitement flashed in Xiao Ze's eyes.
Even a Fighting King powerhouse would perish on the spot if they were to face this power head-on!
Just as Xiao Ze was about to attempt the fourth overlap...
Within the void, the golden sapling trembled slightly, directly interrupting the flow of Dou Qi.
Without Dou Qi to support its operation, the fourth overlap became an impossibility.
"It seems that even with my current amount of Dou Qi, three overlaps are already the limit?"
"This level of terrifying consumption is no wonder it could exhaust the Dou Qi of inner court elders!"
"Let it be. There's no need to force it. When my Dou Qi reserves become even larger in the future, I can try again."
"According to this technique, as long as there's enough Dou Qi, there's no upper limit to the overlaps!"
"Perhaps in the future, I can really summon towering waves that can engulf an empire with just one move!"
Xiao Ze looked at the waterfall before him, the terrain altered by his single combat technique.
With the overlapping method mastered, the next step was to practice it to perfection, then he would truly master it.
"In this way, I have another method of cross-level combat. With a ground class technique, I am more than capable of challenging a Fighting King powerhouse."
"When this technique is perfected, I'll begin to climb the rankings!"
"Zi Yan was elusive in the original work. It's a bit difficult to rely on luck to meet her."
"It might be better to directly challenge her as a contender!"
Ten days later, Xiao Ze finished his cultivation and returned to the inner court.
He went to the Tian Fen Refining Qi Tower and dragged the two girls out of their cultivation.
He took them to relax within the inner court.
After all, under his stimulation, these two girls were showing signs of becoming cultivation maniacs.
For ten consecutive days, they had been practicing within the Tian Fen Refining Qi Tower!
As he strolled around, Xiao Ze also considered whether to advance step by step or directly challenge Zi Yan.
Just as Xiao Ze hesitated...
A youth in white robes with dazzling silver-white short hair approached him.
"I finally found you, Xiao Ze. I want to challenge you!"
Seeing the aggressive gaze and formidable aura of the youth before him, Xiao Ze knew that he was likely one of the top ten on the leaderboard and had the qualifications to challenge him. So, Xiao Ze asked,
"Who are you?"
"I'm Lei Jia, second on the leaderboard!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ze fell silent for a moment.
Why did he feel like everyone on this leaderboard was a battle maniac?
The second on the leaderboard was challenging the fifth.
If he won, Lei Jia wouldn't gain anything.
If he lost, he would drop in the rankings!
Xiao Ze couldn't quite figure out what Lei Jia was after.
