Becoming a Saint From the Iron Armor Skill

Chapter 299: Chapter 165: Qingfeng Saber Intent

’Cultivation Technique fusion?’ Chen Cheng called out his panel to check again.

[Skills: Deer Cutting Saber Technique (Perfection) (Deer Cutting Saber Stance) (Deduction in progress. Current progress: 1/100. Once deduction reaches Perfection, the Cultivation Technique can be advanced to a Superior Technique.)

Wind Chasing Saber Technique (Perfection, Wind Chasing Saber Stance) (Deduction in progress. Current progress: 55/100. Once deduction reaches Perfection, the Cultivation Technique can be advanced to a Superior Technique.)

...

(Note: The Deer Cutting Saber Technique and Wind Chasing Saber Technique meet the compatibility requirements. Cultivation Technique fusion can be initiated.

After fusion, they will evolve into a new Cultivation Technique.

The new Cultivation Technique will possess the power of both the Deer Cutting Saber Technique and the Wind Chasing Saber Technique.)]

’Possessing the power of both Saber Techniques after fusion clearly means combining them into one. This is obviously a great thing.’

The Deer Cutting Saber Stance focused on precision and ruthlessness, embodying the principle of "entering the joint with no thickness," moving with effortless skill.

Just now, Chen Cheng had only briefly used the Deer Cutting Saber Stance, striking the blade of a leaf.

The effect was like striking dozens of times in succession, minutely slicing the leaf, precisely carving away the flesh until only the delicate, fully revealed skeleton of its stem and veins remained.

If the Deer Cutting Saber Stance were used on a living creature—say, a sheep or even a sturdy ox—Chen Cheng was confident he could reduce it to a skeleton in a few breaths, in just a few moves.

If he were to use it against an enemy, he was also confident he could slice a person down to a skeleton.

’However, that method seems to violate the harmony of nature and isn’t something to be pursued.’

The Wind Chasing Saber Stance, on the other hand, focused more on speed and agility. The saber chased the momentum of the wind, striking faster than lightning, quick beyond measure.

"To have the precision and ruthlessness of the Deer Cutting Saber Stance and the swiftness of the Wind Chasing Saber Stance at the same time... Of course I’ll fuse them!"

Chen Cheng smiled slightly and immediately initiated the Cultivation Technique fusion.

[Cultivation Technique fusion in progress...]

At the same time, streams of enlightenment flooded his mind.

A scene similar to when he comprehended the Great Power Realm appeared once again.

The difference was that last time, Chen Cheng had transformed into a giant Dragon Eagle and merged into the Fundamental Diagram of the Great Power Realm.

This time, however, Chen Cheng remained himself.

He saw a handsome youth with an agile figure, Long Saber in hand, sprinting across a snowy plain.

A fierce gale raged mercilessly, but within this gale, the youth’s figure only grew swifter.

The Long Saber in his hand carved a slight arc, and ripples suddenly appeared in the air. The person moved with the saber, and the saber chased the Momentum of the wind.

Where the wind began to stir, the youth moved slowly. Where the wind passed, he would abruptly appear dozens of feet away, still unhurried. He swung his saber slowly, yet a mysterious and profound energy of its own accord drew upon the wind’s momentum, making it his own.

Amidst the ripples, the youth’s figure vanished again. Dozens of yards away, where the gale passed, he reappeared.

Suddenly, a massive Bear Demon appeared before him. It reared up on its hind legs, standing over ten feet tall, and let out an furious roar from its cavernous mouth. Then, it brandished its sharp claws and lunged violently at the youth.

But before it could even complete its lunge, the youth’s figure abruptly vanished.

Within the gust of wind stirred by the Bear Demon’s claws, the youth reappeared. He swung his Long Saber with an understated grace. Ripples vibrated out, and the Bear Demon’s claw was stripped down to bare bone.

ROAR!

The Bear Demon was both shocked and enraged. It immediately swung its other claw to strike at the youth, but it had barely stirred a gust of wind before the youth’s figure vanished again.

Within the wind’s momentum, the Long Saber stirred ripples!

The Bear Demon’s other claw was also reduced to bone.

The Bear Demon tried to roar, but its great mouth had just opened when it found it couldn’t make a sound, nor could it close its jaw.

Because its massive skull had already been stripped to bare bone!

Suddenly, the wind’s momentum surged. The Long Saber struck in layered, overlapping motions, and ripples crazily billowed out from around the Bear Demon.

In the blink of an eye, the wind’s momentum abruptly ceased. Where the wind had passed, the youth stood holding his saber, a faint smile on his face.

Looking again at the Bear Demon not far away, it was still frozen in a lunging posture, now a hollowed-out skeleton, utterly devoid of flesh, blood, and fur.

This all took time to describe but happened in an instant. If an observer had been standing nearby, they would have seen a different scene entirely.

The Bear Demon roared in fury, about to pounce on the youth. In a flash, a gust of wind blew past, and the demon was reduced to a skeleton. The youth, meanwhile, seemed not to have moved at all from beginning to end.

Still the same Wind Chasing youth, standing tall with his Long Saber!

The Wind Chasing Youth Demon-Slaying Map!

As the image froze, Chen Cheng returned to his senses, a flicker of hesitation in his eyes.

[Fusion of Cultivation Techniques successful. Please name it!]

’The phrase "the gentle breeze has intent, the Great Dao is merciless" comes to mind. I could name it something that sounds too... amorous, which isn’t right. Changing it to Feng Qing seems more appropriate.

But since it’s a Saber Technique, a name like Feng Qing doesn’t seem quite right either...’

After a moment of contemplation, Chen Cheng said calmly, "Then let’s name it the Qingfeng Saber Technique."

[New Cultivation Technique successfully named!]

[Skills: Qingfeng Saber Technique (Perfection) (Qingfeng Saber Stance) (Qingfeng Saber Intent First Layer 50,000/200,000)]

"Whoa!" Seeing the information on the panel, Chen Cheng was overjoyed, a faint smile spreading across his face.

’The fusion is complete, and it already has Saber Intent! The Qingfeng Saber Technique is clearly already a Superior Saber Technique.

The Wind Chasing Youth Demon-Slaying Map in my mind must be the Fundamental Diagram for the Qingfeng Saber Technique.

And because I personally witnessed the formation process of the Fundamental Diagram of the Realm when the Saber Techniques fused, my comprehension of this Saber Technique is extremely deep. The Cultivation Progress started directly at 50,000 points.

If the Cultivation of my Qingfeng Saber Intent reaches Perfection, I’ll be able to reduce an enemy to a skeleton with Saber Intent alone!

The power of Saber Intent is truly immense!’
