After reading, Xu Feng gradually understood the Ninefold Thunderblade.
The entire manual contained a complete set of movement techniques, Flowing Light, a complete set of guidance techniques, Ninefold Primordial Energy, and a complete set of blade techniques, Thunderblade.
Among them, the guidance technique Ninefold Primordial Energy was the foundation, allowing for faster cultivation of Genetic Primal Energy.
The movement techniques and blade techniques were skills, the means to increase survival chances and to unleash one's strength.
The reason the Ninefold Thunderblade's blade techniques were so powerful was due to a peculiar method of applying force.
"At least experiment with this blade technique first."
Xu Feng carefully placed the manual in the corner of the training hall, and then he took out his A6 Combat Knife.
He stood in the center of the training hall, the Bloodshadow Combat Knife in his hand repeatedly slashing out.
The reason the Ninefold Thunderblade technique is so powerful lies in its unique method of generating force.
When a normal person swings a knife with all their might, they might use ten tenths of their strength.
However, when a practitioner of the Ninefold Thunderblade swings a knife, they will only use seven tenths of their strength.
When they unleash the first layer of force, they strive to make their body generate a second layer of force, also at seven tenths strength.
Adding these two layers of force together yields fourteen tenths of their strength!
The Ninefold Thunderblade has nine layers in total.
The first layer allows for an additional hidden force, allowing for fourteen tenths of strength!
The second layer allows for two additional hidden forces, allowing for twenty-one tenths of strength!
The third layer allows for three additional hidden forces, allowing for twenty-eight tenths of strength!
The ninth layer allows for nine additional hidden forces, allowing for seventy tenths of strength!
In other words, reaching perfection allows one to unleash a full seven times their original physical strength.
What does that mean?
It means that if a Beginner Warrior comprehends the Ninefold Thunderblade to the ninth level, they can almost rival a Beginner Commander!
He opened the introduction to the guiding technique in the Ninefold Thunderblade manual and began to practice.
As created by Lei Shen, who possessed the world's most powerful body, the Ninefold Primordial Energy's absorption rate of cosmic energy is far beyond that of basic primal energy cultivation methods.
Through different body postures combined with a special breathing technique, a magical effect is achieved. The postures of the Ninefold Primordial Energy guiding technique contain a significant amount of traces of Indian Yoga.
After Xu Feng began to practice according to the manual, he felt a long-absent sense of hunger in all his cells.
Through the guiding technique, countless pores all over his body could absorb cosmic energy into his body, greatly accelerating the rate at which his body absorbed energy.
Under the effect of the Ninefold Primordial Energy, the evolution of refining his entire skeleton began.
Pain, itching, soreness, numbness… all sorts of sensations appeared, and they originated from deep within his bones. However, Xu Feng still resisted the various pains with his astonishing willpower, and he was rapidly improving himself through this countless grinding.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, half a month went by in his cultivation. Xu Feng almost never went out, spending every day in practice.
The Ninefold Primordial Energy combined with the Genetic Primal Energy cultivation method yielded the most significant results. He had also mastered the first level of the Ninefold Thunderblade technique, allowing him to add an extra layer of force to each strike.
"As far as I know, the first level's eighteen knife techniques gradually guide the cultivator to understand the method of force application. Once the first level is comprehended, success is achieved."
In the world of Swallowed Star, the innate advantages of other species were far superior to humans, yet humans could still rise step by step.
The reason for their increasing strength relied on the passing down of knowledge.
The experiences of each generation's most outstanding individuals were passed down, accelerating evolution and development.
In the silent training hall, Xu Feng sat cross-legged. With each rise and fall of his breath, a "whooshing" sound, as if water was flowing, suddenly emerged from within him.
The sound of the water grew louder, and his complexion became increasingly ruddy.
As time passed, the amplitude of his breathing became lighter, and the sound of flowing water diminished until the training hall returned to silence. Only then did his eyes slowly open.
"After a warrior's cultivation reaches the peak of Intermediate Warrior, the Ninefold Thunderblade allowed my warrior strength to break through and enter the realm of Advanced Warrior.
This half-month of dedicated cultivation has been the biggest improvement since Xu Feng's rebirth. The incredibly compatible guiding technique and Ninefold Primordial Energy allowed him to make rapid progress.
"My Spiritual Reader strength is now at the peak of Beginner Commander level. As long as my body reaches Advanced Warrior, I can break through to become an Intermediate Commander level Spiritual Reader."
Thinking of his Spiritual Reader level, he couldn't help but think of the golden sphere in his sea of consciousness.
"The golden sphere has been continuously releasing golden mist, but its volume hasn't decreased at all."
Xu Feng speculated that his Spiritual Reader aptitude was probably no less than Luo Feng's in the original novel, and might even be more powerful.
"Today is May 20th. There are still over two months until the life-or-death adventure on the European continent of the Global Elite Training Camp." "Just staying indoors and working on it, the Ninefold Thunderblade will only reach the second level at most for the life-or-death adventure on August 1st."
"It's time to go to the Wilderness Zone for a life-or-death adventure. Only in the midst of life and death can a warrior squeeze out their full potential."
"The Ninefold Thunderblade requires at least the third level, or even the fourth, to receive proper training on the Australian continent."
Ten days ago, Zhou Yongzheng contacted Xu Feng. The Global Elite Training Camp had approved his spot, and because Xu Feng was a Spiritual Reader, he didn't need to take any tests.
Xu Feng also decided to officially head into the Wilderness Zone to fight monsters today.
This would be his first time hunting monsters in the Wilderness Zone.
In the past half month, his strength had increased rapidly, but he hadn't tested his specific data yet.
Xu Feng knew that only by fully understanding his strength's limits could he ensure no mistakes during critical moments! Any slight mistake in battle could lead to irreversible consequences; this was an experience countless warriors had gained through blood.
Thinking of this, he didn't waste any more time and silently began putting on his combat suit pants. Twelve Flying Knives were attached to the outside of his legs.
He wore alloy combat boots on his feet, a combat vest on his body, and his arms were bare. Both hands wore wrist guards, and a communication watch was fixed on his right wrist.
Xu Feng then put on his warrior backpack and attached the hexagonal shield and A6 combat knife to the weapon loops on the outside.
Xu Feng, in full standard warrior gear, looked in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction.
"Let's go!"
The summer morning sky was like a sapphire, freshly washed with clear water. The sun, like a fire, poured down on a fiery red sunrise. The white clouds were truly strange and varied.
Out of the base city, looking east, a red glow connected the heavens and the earth. Slowly, the sun revealed a small smiling face. The flowers seemed to have received the signal, vying to bloom, so bright and dazzling that they seemed even more lovely under the rising sun. The grass by the side of the road was covered with glistening dew, looking clean and clear. Xu Feng turned his gaze towards the survival base city behind him, thinking in his heart, "I will definitely come back alive, definitely."
Xu Feng didn't look back as he walked towards the Wilderness Zone. Just as Xu Feng walked away, Jiang Nian watched him go in silence.
Jiang Nian and Xu Feng had already discussed many times the various precautions to take when alone outside. At this moment, Xu Feng was wearing sturdy black trousers and a combat vest. But his bulging muscles could still be seen from the outside, making him look like a full-fledged warrior.
After several hours of travel, the Wilderness Zone city was getting closer, and Xu Feng became more cautious. He was afraid of encountering a Beast Horde and being killed by them. That would be a real shame, not even getting to see the Wilderness Zone city before being wiped out. Who could he complain to? However, he didn't see any Beast Hordes until he entered the Wilderness Zone city. Xu Feng was lucky.
Ruined city buildings.
Entering, the dilapidated skyscrapers were overgrown with countless vines, and various weeds and thorns were everywhere. Fallen leaves covered the ground, and footsteps naturally made sounds. Old vines and weeds were dense all around.
"Weeds and vines are so thick. Even if a monster is hiding ten meters away, I wouldn't be able to see it." Xu Feng felt a chill.
Xu Feng couldn't help but look at the patch of weeds in front of him. The weeds were extremely dense, almost half a person high. If a snake was hiding in them and launched a sneak attack, Xu Feng would probably be finished. Taking a deep breath, he braced himself.
According to the original story, commander-level monsters have intelligence close to humans, Xu Feng thought to himself.
Xu Feng moved cautiously through the grass, carefully watching his surroundings, gradually making his way deeper into the city.
"At the outermost edges of the city, there are usually many low-level monsters. If you go deeper into the edge areas, there will be more intermediate-level beasts. If you go deeper into the central area, there will be many commander-level monsters, and even lord-level monsters might appear."
Xu Feng recalled Jiang Nian's teachings.
"Of course, this isn't absolute. Maybe a lord-level monster will get bored and wander around the outer edges. You might also be unlucky enough to encounter a large pack of wolves, numbering over ten thousand. If that happens, you can only say you have bad luck."
City 003 was so vast; could he really be that unlucky? If he encountered something dangerous, he could only blame his own fate.
What I need to do now is find a low-level monster to practice on. I haven't really fought before, Xu Feng thought to himself.
In the desolate Wilderness Zone, the dense leaves of the ancient trees blocked almost all the raindrops. Only occasional drops of rainwater fell. Xu Feng had been walking through the Wilderness Zone for a while and knew that the outer area wasn't particularly dangerous.
Xu Feng exerted a little force with his feet, and his whole body gracefully leaped onto a tree branch about seven or eight meters high. He carefully looked into the distance, observing his surroundings.
"Within this nearly 500-meter radius, there are two monsters, Horned Wild Boars, and one intermediate monster, an Earthshaker Rhinoceros. Which one should I practice on?" Xu Feng muttered to himself. "I'll go with you. An intermediate beast soldier, with my strength, I should be able to finish quickly." He headed in the direction of the Earthshaker Rhinoceros.
"Although it's just an intermediate beast soldier, the 'Earthshaker Rhinoceros,' for a newbie like me, it's perfect for practice. And it can be lunch too. Beef is pretty good," Xu Feng moved through the grass like a nimble cat, quietly approaching the Earthshaker Rhinoceros. Because of the dense weeds and thorns, the Earthshaker Rhinoceros didn't notice Xu Feng.
Closer to the Earthshaker Rhinoceros, Xu Feng controlled six flying knives. They shot towards the Earthshaker Rhinoceros like lightning.
"Whoosh!"
Xu Feng burst out of the tall grass like a startled dragon. When the Earthshaker Rhinoceros turned its head in alarm, the 7-Series Flying Knives had already pierced into it. Xu Feng descended as if from the heavens, his greatsword whistling through the air as he brought it down on the Earthshaker Rhinoceros's head.
"Puff!" A sickening sound of bones cracking echoed as the Bloodshadow Combat Knife slammed down on the Earthshaker Rhinoceros's head, instantly killing it. The rhinoceros's heavy body crashed to the ground, shaking the earth. The skull of the Earthshaker Rhinoceros was shattered, split open by the blade. Brain matter seeped out from the cracks, and blood continued to flow from its mouth. Its limbs twitched a few times before falling still.
