Sword Shatters Stars

Chapter 79 It's done! It's really done!

The four maintained their original plan, having the clones make armor while they went out to explore unknown lands.

This pace continued for more than five months, without encountering a single mutated beast.

Fang Yuan and Ren Xing showed no impatience whatsoever.

Lin Xiufeng and Zhao Youyue then realized how lucky they had been in the past.

Such prolonged periods of fruitlessness are actually the norm.

The four clones diligently cultivated their star acupoints and busied themselves with crafting armor every day.

However, Lin Xiufeng's clone continued to slack off, and giving instructions was useless.

"It turns out that the clones don't follow all instructions. For example, they don't obey instructions to not resist or to be attacked."

Zhao Youyue could only say that Lin Xiufeng was not by nature obedient and would continue to make armor meticulously and diligently.

"I call this a spirit of rebellion; I will never obediently accept oppression!"

Lin Xiufeng didn't see this as a flaw; in fact, she was quite proud of it.

The four replicas were all standing by the water.

Judging from the timeline, the clones have already completed their Star Cave cultivation.

Even with complete confidence, the moment of witnessing a miracle is inevitably filled with some anxiety and uncertainty.

The clone collided with Lin Xiufei on the water's surface, transforming into light quanta that surged into Lin Xiufei's body.

When the Shixuan acupoint at the tip of Lin Xiufei's left middle finger overlapped with the Shixuan star acupoint cultivated by the clone, they suddenly merged.

After a moment of shaking, the ten acupoints cultivated by the clone, in the state of star acupoints of the Little Heavenly Martial Heart, became Lin Xiufeng's star acupoints.

Lin Xiufeng gathered his Heavenly Martial Power, and the black light gathering at the tip of his left middle finger became faster, stronger, and denser!
The emitted light clusters are larger, creating a stronger suction force!

The whirlpool formed in the water sucked Zhao Youyue and the other two people in, causing Lin Xiufeng to feel quite uncomfortable.

"Lin Xiufeng, you're deliberately taking advantage of me! Zhao Youyue, aren't you going to do anything about this?!"

She pushed him away angrily, but Zhao Youyue had heard her yell so much that she was immune to it. She coaxed him gently, saying:

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. I'll let you make up for the loss you got."

"You just spoil him!" The capricious man pouted, swam away, and tried out the acupoints of the body-replicating exercise by the water's edge.

Fang Yuan frowned and said, "The power of the Heavenly Martial Heart exhibits an abnormal tremor as it circulates through the meridians. This tremor disappears after the body breaks through, and the star points used for cultivation by the clone also need to be stabilized."

"No big deal! When I broke through, I was at the eighth star level, zero layer. I trained one star acupoint myself and a clone trained another, and now I'm at the tenth star level, second layer of heavenly martial power! That feels great!"

He was extremely satisfied with his actions and, the more he thought about it, the more excited he became, shouting with joy.

Lin Xiufeng tested the Daling acupoint in the center of the horizontal crease on his right wrist, which was the location of the Heavenly Martial Heart of the Silver Sword.

After mastering the Star Acupoint technique, the Heavenly Martial Sword grew to the same length as the Silver Sword, thirty centimeters.

Lin Xiufeng tried and found that the Heavenly Martial Power instantly supplied by the Heavenly Martial Heart was not enough to simultaneously supply the Ten Xuan acupoints of Meteor Chasing the Moon and the Heavenly Martial Sword in his right hand.

'Fortunately, Meteor Chasing the Moon can be charged up for preparation, but it seems that the left and right hands must be prioritized, or the flow of Heavenly Martial Power supplied at the same time must be evenly distributed...'

'From this perspective, wielding weapons with both hands is similar to not having Heavenly Martial Power; the power will be weaker...'

Lin Xiufeng shared these tips, and Zhao Youyue also practiced these two acupoints.

Renxing practiced acupoints on the hands, and shared the Shenmen acupoint that Lin Xiufei hadn't practiced.

"With stronger wrist strength, wrist movements are more agile and swift when changing positions!"

Fang Yuan followed his approach and began cultivating from the bottom up.

He shared that after increasing the number of acupoints on his legs, his legs moved faster and more powerfully, and he gained an advantage in generating upward force when initiating any movement.

Lin Xiufeng and Zhao Youyue both decided that they would follow Fang Yuan's example and have the clone cultivate the Shenmen acupoint on the right hand, while they themselves would build a foundation from the bottom up.

“Cultivating the Star Acupoints used bone powder, and it also consumes one layer of Heavenly Martial Power every month. Fang Yuan and I have almost no Heavenly Martial Power left. The clone can only work for one day before being absorbed once. We have to go out and replenish it.”

I really wish this kind of time could continue, but it requires the power of heaven.

Cultivating a single star cave consumes seven layers of Heavenly Martial Power, and the Heavenly Martial Power that Tiger Flood Dragon has acquired is almost exhausted.

Their search has yielded no results so far. "My clone and I will continue crafting armor, while your clones will focus on cultivating star points, which should last about a month."

Lin Xiufeng had considered this issue long ago, and Fang Yuan had originally planned to do the same.

The progress of armor making can be delayed, but the cultivation of star points cannot.

In fact, the armor is mostly complete, with only the arm guards, leg guards, knee guards, and the mask and headgear remaining.

Initially, protection was considered, but it was later found that it affected flexibility.

After adjusting our approach, armor was made lightweight and simple, replacing clothing and shoes as the primary requirement.

The chest, abdomen, back, waist, hips, and main thighs are complete.

The scales are dense, and even if they are as thin as possible, they are designed to withstand the damage from a full-force thrust from a Heavenly Warrior.

Lin Xiufeng's armor weighs 360 kilograms, while Fang Yuan's weighs 230 kilograms.

Zhao Youyue and Renxing's armor is simpler, like a rigid one-piece swimsuit that extends to protect the neck, with the waist like a short skirt, and the inner armor covering part of the thighs.

Overall, the activity is convenient, and they find it aesthetically pleasing; loose clothing can be worn over it when needed.

They weigh 160 kilograms and 120 kilograms respectively.

Such weight would have been unbearable for someone before evolving their Heavenly Martial Soul.

But for a Heavenly Warrior, it doesn't feel like anything, and once they unleash their Heavenly Martial Power, they care even less.

It has some impact on daily mobility.

However, in simulated combat situations, releasing Heavenly Martial Power to fill the armor has minimal impact.

Lin Xiufeng, wearing armor that fits her chest and abdomen perfectly, tried to twist her neck and felt no obstruction.

The neck brace is fixed in place by the tendons of a tiger dragon, and shoulder braces will be connected in the future.

The leg and waist supports are like wearing stiffened shorts, with the groin connected by a tiger tendon to ensure that the movement of the legs is not restricted.

The four sets of armor were designed by Renhe and Zhao Youyue. The four people expressed their preferences, and a miniature robot designed the drawings and confirmed the production process.

Once the arm and shoulder pads are finished, the group name "Youlin Feiyue" will be displayed as an identifier.

Lin Xiufeng considered and said, "If this kind of armor were custom-made, it would definitely be a hit. For a Heavenly Warrior with a Heavenly Martial Soul, ordinary clothes are too easy to damage."

"Nineteen tons of scale armor material, it's just a matter of when we'll be able to use it."

Zhao Youyue leaped away and tried on the sandals made of scales; they fit her perfectly.

Lin Xiufeng and Fang Yuan have several grooves on their carapaces to hold four long, medium, and short knives for sharpening the tiger-dragon's long claws.

The hilt and handguard were made from the short fangs of the tiger-dragon, while the long fangs were made directly into short swords. Each person was equipped with two.

The handle, tucked into the waistband, is made from the teeth of a tiger and a dragon, increasing attack range and making the grip more comfortable.

Each person also had a small backpack made of scales.

He casually patted the small box he carried with him, made of scales and armor. It contained bone powder and made him feel very safe.

"The Heavenly Martial Power is infused into the armor and the box that is carried with it, making it very difficult to damage."

"Once A is finished, make more tubes to hold bone meal."

Fang Yuan had considered many things. Everyone was concerned that the bone meal obtained from the pharmacies in the fourth, fifth, and sixth villages was packaged in wooden tubes.

With everything prepared, Lin Xiufeng gave the order to set off.

The group of four left Huanshan Jinghu and hurried on their way.

Next, they must prioritize search efficiency and find the mutated beast to absorb the Heavenly Martial Power as soon as possible to ensure that Fang Yuan and Ren Xing's progress in cultivating the Star Cave is not hindered.

In addition, all four of them share a common curiosity.

The previous turmoil had subsided several months ago, and things had long since calmed down.

They should go to crowded places and ask around to find out what happened in the battle between the clones and the Overturning Organization a few months ago.

After all, in other people's eyes, it was a heroic feat by Youlin Feiyue.
Or perhaps, it's a foolish tragedy of overestimating one's own abilities and defying the heavens?
