83. Quadruple Wave Technique

"How amazing..."

Lin Fei found it quite novel as well. He had never encountered such a situation before.

For example, when the Nine Shadow Saber Technique absorbed and merged with other saber techniques, the system would directly notify him of the results.

But now, it was a first with the fist techniques so vividly appearing in his mind to compete!

Lin Fei believed that it was because the two fist techniques were evenly matched and quite similar, which led to this situation.

Regardless, the two martial arts within Lin Fei's body were now engaged in a fierce battle.

It was a rare opportunity for Lin Fei to witness this as an onlooker, quietly watching the two perfected fist techniques competing against each other!

The golden giant formed by the Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist took the initiative to strike first. There seemed to be a faint dragon and elephant roaring in the air.

"Boom."

The golden giant launched a punch, causing the air to vibrate. This was the unique "shock power" of the Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist, extremely firm and Yang in nature, full of explosive force.

The blue Triple Wave Technique also charged forward. However, it transformed into the shape of waves. A massive wave surged toward the golden giant with great force.

"Bang."

The two sides clashed forcefully.

The Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist was not only perfect but also integrated with many basic fist techniques. With an 11% training progress in the realm of perfection, it was incredibly powerful! As a result, the explosive power of this punch managed to disperse the Triple Wave Technique.

However, this was only the first layer of the waves. It was merely Lin Fei's original strength. The next moment, the Triple Wave Technique launched another wave of water. This was the second layer of waves. Its power was twice as strong as the first layer!

"Bang."

In this clash, the Triple Wave Technique remained unshaken, and the Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist was equally stable. Both sides were evenly matched.

Immediately after, the Triple Wave Technique unleashed another wave. This was the third layer of the Triple Wave Technique. Its power had doubled again based on the second layer.

Lin Fei already knew the outcome at this point. The winner was clear!

"Boom."

As expected, with this collision, the golden giant formed by the Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist seemed to roar angrily. It couldn't withstand the fourfold power of the Triple Wave Technique. It was shattered by the enormous wave.

The golden giant turned into strands of golden light, gradually merging into the blue light of the Triple Wave Technique.

"Your Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist and Triple Wave Technique engaged in an intense battle."

"Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist was defeated by Triple Wave Technique and willingly merged into it."

"Your Triple Wave Technique has mastered the skill of Shock Power."

"Your Triple Wave Technique's cultivation progress has increased by 50%."

"During the comprehension of the Triple Wave Technique, you unexpectedly derived a fourth move, and the technique was renamed Quadruple Wave Technique."

"The fourth move of the Quadruple Wave Technique has double the power of the third move."

In Lin Fei's mind, the system's voices echoed one after another. After a while, when the system's voice ceased, Lin Fei seemed to come back to his senses. Sorting out the system's information just now, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Triple Wave Technique has become Quadruple Wave Technique? Derived the fourth move during comprehension? Triple Wave Technique merged with Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist, and the cultivation progress increased so significantly?"

Lin Fei was somewhat bewildered. So, he immediately accessed the system panel to check his current martial arts status.

Host: Lin Fei

Martial Arts Realm: Acquired Fifth Level

Three Vitality Technique: Fifth Level (28% Progress)

Quadruple Wave Technique: Perfection (50% Progress)

Leaping Technique: Transcendence (68% Progress)

Nine Shadow Saber Technique: Perfection ( 43% Progress)

Saber-drawing Technique: Transcendence (78% Progress)

Flowing Clothes Skill: Transcendence (0% Progress)

Indeed, on the system panel, Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist had disappeared. Even Triple Wave Technique had vanished. Instead, it was replaced by Quadruple Wave Technique!

Of course, martial arts only disappeared from the system panel. It didn't mean that Lin Fei couldn't use these martial arts. Lin Fei could still use Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist or Triple Wave Technique. It's just that the two martial arts had merged into a more powerful one.

Moreover, the Quadruple Wave Technique had not only reached perfection, but its cultivation progress had also reached 50%.

"If I merge another martial art technique of the same level as the Triple Wave Technique, can the cultivation progress reach 100%, thus comprehending the fist intent?"

Lin Fei's heart was moved by this thought. It seemed like a method worth trying. However, he couldn't hold too high hopes for it. After all, Lin Fei's Triple Wave Technique reached perfection this time purely due to a combination of luck and coincidence.

It had witnessed the waves in the ocean, which allowed it to achieve perfection, only then could it merge with the Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist.

Now that the Triple Wave Technique had transformed into the Quadruple Wave Technique, its power had increased significantly. The fourth move of the Quadruple Wave Technique was twice as powerful as the third move, which was almost eight times the original power!

How terrifying was this power? Even someone with innate divine strength couldn't compare to Lin Fei.

Lin Fei's Quadruple Wave Technique was now even comparable to a Saber-drawing Technique that had been nurtured for two months.

"If the Saber-drawing Technique could reach perfection and then merge with the Nine Shadow Saber Technique, I wonder if saber intent could be born?"

Lin Fei's heart was filled with a hint of expectation.

The storm at sea continued for several hours. By the next day, the sea was calm again.

"Senior Brother Lin, we have found the lair of the pirates." A disciple from the Nine Profound Sect came to report outside the cabin.

"Found it?"

Lin Fei opened the cabin door and came to the deck. Sure enough, as he looked into the distance, he saw an island far away. Soon, the ship slowly approached the island. Everyone disembarked one after another.

There were many signs of human activity on the island. It didn't take much effort for the disciples of the Nine Profound Sect to find the pirates.

Once they confirmed that they were pirates, Lin Fei ordered to kill them all. However, there were still many innocent people on the island. Most of them were women who had been kidnapped by the pirates and forced to serve them on the island.

Lin Fei felt pity for these women. So, he ordered his men to bring the women along. He also ordered them to find the pirates' hidden treasures and bring them onto the ship.

Afterward, Lin Fei gave the order. The entire island was burned to the ground with a raging fire. The fleet soon returned to Haizhou City.

The pirates were completely wiped out. The merchants could once again set sail and resume their maritime trade. Haizhou City returned to its former prosperity.

Lin Fei had completed his mission in Haizhou City. He did not linger in the city's prosperity. He directly took the Nine Profound Sect disciples and returned to the Nine Profound Sect.

In the main hall of the Nine Profound Sect, the Sect Master summoned Lin Fei for a private meeting.

"Lin Fei, you've done an excellent job in this mission, eliminating the pirates in Haizhou City and ensuring the interests of our Nine Profound Sect.

As for the matter of the mysterious Qi cultivator, I've issued a gag order forbidding the Nine Profound Sect disciples from spreading the news.

I didn't expect that an evil cultivator among the Qi cultivators would become a pirate and even attempt to blood-refine Haizhou City. He truly deserved to die!"

The Sect Master's voice was filled with murderous intent. The actions of the black-robed Qi cultivator had enraged both humans and heaven alike. Naturally, he would be furious as well.

"Sect Master, if I hadn't been able to kill that Qi cultivator, how would the Nine Profound Sect have dealt with it?" Lin Fei asked.

"Lin Fei, you are different from ordinary martial artists. Ordinary martial artists would feel intimidated when facing a Qi cultivator and be afraid to fight.

However, you were able to fight back and kill the Qi cultivator in a desperate situation. Ordinary martial artists wouldn't be able to do that. Basically, acquired martial artists would be easily crushed by a Qi cultivator.

If you had failed this time, I would have personally requested several Grand Elders to descend the mountain and ensure the elimination of that evil Qi cultivator.

Although cultivators are powerful and their methods are unpredictable, innate experts can still contend with them, and even kill them."

Lin Fei understood.

Even without him, the Nine Profound Sect would have sent innate experts to descend the mountain and kill that Qi cultivator.

"Alright, since you have encountered a Qi Condensation cultivator, you must naturally be aware of their formidable power. Even though you killed him, it was because he was careless.

If your Saber-drawing Technique had not been effective, you would have likely faced a disastrous outcome. Only those who have reached the innate realm can contend with Qi cultivators!

Therefore, you must continue to practice martial arts diligently and strive to achieve the innate realm as soon as possible."

The Sect Master's words made sense.

Lin Fei nodded and said, "Disciple understands."

84. Saber-drawing Technique Has Broken Through To Perfection

"Only Innate can contend with Qi cultivators!"

Lin Fei returned to his courtyard. This was what he learned from the Sect Master's words.

Qi cultivators were superior. Only innate martial artists could generally fight against them.

As for the old Daoist, Lin Miao, and even the black-robed Qi cultivator that Lin Fei encountered, they were all rogue cultivators. And they were very low-level rogue cultivators.

According to the Sect Master, orthodox Qi cultivators were the strongest! They had complete Qi techniques, magical artifacts, talismans, and formations. Only such Qi cultivators could be considered true Qi cultivators.

And when facing such orthodox Qi cultivators, acquired martial artists would have no chance. As for rogue Qi cultivators, if luck was on their side, even ordinary people could kill them. They were not worth mentioning at all.

Lin Fei didn't become complacent. Although he had already killed two Qi cultivators, Lin Fei knew very well that if he faced the orthodox Qi cultivators mentioned by the Sect Master, who had spells, magical artifacts, talismans, and so on, he would have no chance.

Days passed by, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

Lin Fei's life in the Nine Profound Sect returned to its former tranquility. During this month, Lin Fei's Three Vitality Technique progressed slowly. Every day, it only increased its cultivation progress by 1%. There was still some distance from reaching the sixth level.

"Your Leaping Technique has reached perfection after days of diligent cultivation,"

The system's voice echoed in Lin Fei's mind.

"Leaping Technique has reached perfection?"

Lin Fei was somewhat surprised. This month, he had been focusing on the Saber-drawing Technique. He didn't pay much attention to his agility skills. However, unexpectedly, the Leaping Technique reached perfection. This was a pleasant surprise.

Nevertheless, the difference between the transcendence and perfection of the Leaping Technique was not too significant. At most, it was just a slightly faster speed.

Lin Fei's main focus was still on the Saber-drawing Technique. Because, after a month of hard work in cultivating the Saber-drawing Technique, it had reached 99%. Progress was extremely slow.

If it was only the Saber-drawing Technique reaching perfection, Lin Fei might not have paid much attention to it. Once the Saber-drawing Technique reached perfection, its power would be impressive, and the efficiency of nurturing the saber would also be enhanced. However, it wasn't worth Lin Fei's undivided attention.

The significance of the Saber-drawing Technique reaching perfection was its fusion with the Nine Shadow Saber Technique. And the Nine Shadow Saber Technique had long since reached perfection.

Moreover, the cultivation progress of the perfected Nine Shadow Saber Technique had reached 43%.

Lin Fei was looking forward to the fusion of the perfected Saber-drawing Technique and the Nine Shadow Saber Technique. Then, it might be possible to give birth to the saber intent!

Saber intent was the focus of Lin Fei's attention.

It is rumored that once a martial artist masters saber intent, they can be on par with Qi cultivators! Even more, when facing Qi cultivators, only those who have mastered saber intent can have a way to cope with them.

This saber intent was very important. Lin Fei had been looking forward to it for a long time. At this moment, the cultivation progress of the Saber-drawing Technique had reached 99%.

Lin Fei was quietly waiting in the courtyard. The breakthrough of the Saber-drawing Technique might happen within these few days. It could reach perfection at any moment.

Lin Fei didn't know how much time had passed. He felt that the Hidden Saber at his waist seemed to be vibrating.

"What is this..."

Lin Fei could clearly sense that his inner power was circulating wildly, entering the Hidden Saber in a special way, and then returning to his body from within the Hidden Saber.

With each round, the Hidden Saber accumulated terrifying power. This was the process of nurturing the saber. Moreover, Lin Fei had never felt the operation of the saber-nurturing as clearly as at this moment.

"Your Saber-drawing Technique has finally broken through to perfection after days of hard cultivation!"

"Boom."

As the system's voice echoed in Lin Fei's mind, a loud noise resounded in his head, followed by a segment of memory. A memory related to the "Saber-drawing Technique."

Perfection!

At this moment, Lin Fei's Saber-drawing Technique had finally reached perfection! The perfection realm of the Saber-drawing Technique also meant the perfection realm of the Saber-nurturing Technique!

At this moment, Lin Fei could clearly feel that the speed of nurturing the saber had increased by at least ten times!

Yes, ten times!

Endless inner power was pouring crazily into the Hidden Saber. If it weren't for Lin Fei's immense inner power, he might not have been able to sustain it.

At this rate, nurturing the saber for one day now was equivalent to ten days before. Nurturing the saber for a month was equivalent to nearly a year before!

This was too terrifying. Even Lin Fei himself felt it was too terrifying.

He never expected that the improvement of the Saber-drawing Technique upon reaching perfection would be so significant.

Lin Fei even vaguely felt that the Saber-drawing Technique should not be an acquired level martial skill. It could even be on par with innate martial skills!

Lin Fei didn't know how strong innate experts were, but he was certain that given a few months or a year to nurture his saber, the moment the saber was drawn, it would definitely slay an innate expert!

This was Lin Fei's confidence, or rather, his confidence in the perfection realm of the Saber-drawing Technique.

However, Lin Fei did not get up. He continued to wait quietly. The perfection of the Saber-drawing Technique was just the beginning.

What Lin Fei was really looking forward to was the fusion of the Saber-drawing Technique and the Nine Shadow Saber Technique! That was the true goal he had been waiting for all these days.

"Whoosh."

Sure enough, it didn't take long before a roar resounded in Lin Fei's mind. Following that, Lin Fei "saw" two balls of light appear in his mind.

Both balls of light were sabers. The two sabers were black and looked somewhat similar, but in reality, they were quite different.

Lin Fei could tell at a glance which one represented the Saber-drawing Technique and which one represented the Nine Shadow Saber Technique. After all, Lin Fei was very familiar with these two saber techniques.

Lin Fei was actually quite interested in the battle between the Nine Shadow Saber Technique and the Saber-drawing Technique. These were two completely different saber techniques.

The Saber-drawing Technique focused on killing with a single strike. No matter who the opponent was, it only took one saber! If it couldn't kill the enemy, then the master would die. It was an extremely extreme saber technique.

As for the Nine Shadow Saber Technique? It was a more common saber technique.

Normally, the Saber-drawing Technique would definitely be stronger. But the Nine Shadow Saber Technique was no longer the same as before. Now, the Nine Shadow Saber Technique was a single strike with thirteen shadows, not to be underestimated.

"Swish."

Both the Saber-drawing Technique and the Nine Shadow Saber Technique moved.

The two saber techniques were like two peerless saber masters.

At this moment, without a word, the two balls of light released their sharp saber edges and instantly flew toward each other.

The Nine Shadow Saber Technique had one saber with thirteen shadows, filling the sky with saber shadows.

The Saber-drawing Technique slashed out with one earth-shattering strike, leaving only that one saber between heaven and earth!

"Boom."

The two saber techniques collided fiercely. It was a head-on confrontation. Lin Fei's mind seemed to be shaking violently. The terrifying saber edge seemed to tear Lin Fei's mind apart.

"Crack."

In the end, the two saber techniques had their strengths and weaknesses.

When the Saber-drawing Technique and the Nine Shadow Saber Technique collided, the earth-shattering Saber-drawing Technique was clearly superior.

With just one slash, the huge black saber formed by the Nine Shadow Saber Technique instantly shattered into countless fragments.

The black light dots quickly flowed into the light of the Saber-drawing Technique.

"It's done, the Saber-drawing Technique still has the upper hand!"

Lin Fei knew that the outcome had been decided and the winner determined.

The Saber-drawing Technique won!

Suddenly, the light of the Saber-drawing Technique surged and even trembled faintly, as if it was about to explode at any moment.

This was something that hadn't happened when Lin Fei previously fused the Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist with the Triple Wave Technique.

The fusion of fist techniques and saber techniques should be similar and not cause any problems.

But now, after the Saber-drawing Technique had merged with the Nine Shadow Saber Technique, it seemed that there were some issues.

What was the difference between the fusion of the two saber techniques and the fusion of the two sets of fist techniques?

Lin Fei thought about it.

The only difference might be that the fusion of the two saber techniques could give birth to the saber intent!

After all, the cultivation progress of the Nine Shadow Saber Technique had already reached 43%.

With the fusion of the Saber-drawing Technique and the Nine Shadow Saber Technique, cultivation progress had skyrocketed.

Perhaps the saber intent was about to be born!
