Decaying World

Chapter 78 078 Gale II

At that very moment, the instant Lin Hui saw this line of text, a surge of information about the cultivation of the Gale Sword Technique rushed into his brain.

In his mind, he seemed to be practicing the Qingfeng Sword day and night, and then, through hard work, he comprehended the essence of wind in a strong wind one day. He then formed a special traction net through the flow of internal energy, which transformed into a gale, and obtained the Three Forms of Gale, namely the Gale Sword Technique.

puff.

He stood up abruptly, gripped the hilt of the sword behind his back, and a surge of experience from the Gale Sword Technique, honed over a million times, rapidly flowed from his mind into his hand muscles the moment he grasped the hilt.

With slight muscle adjustments, he naturally adopted the most familiar way to grip the sword.

He drew his sword and pointed it diagonally at the ground.

Lin Hui closed his eyes and began to wield his sword, practicing this brand-new Gale Sword Technique with extremely slow movements, as if dancing.

This sword technique has only nine moves and three styles: Fushan Style, Dieyun Style, and Qingming Style.

The three styles and nine moves of swordplay seem unremarkable, mostly consisting of the most basic slashing motions, which resemble slashing in a circular motion.

Lin Hui drew circles one after another in his hands.

At first, he was very slow, as if his body had not yet fully adapted to the change.

It is still being adjusted.

But as the memories were constantly adjusted, the muscles and joints of the body gradually seemed to recall the hard training they had undergone.

The sword strokes were becoming faster and faster.

soon.

The blade began to blur, turning into a phantom.

A faint sound of something cutting through the air could be heard.

Another minute passed.

The sword shadows vanished completely, and even the afterimages could not be seen. All that could be heard was the increasing frequency and density of the sound of air being cut.

Another minute passed.

The sound of air being cut through began to diminish, replaced by a continuous, soft whistling sound, almost like the real sound of wind.

Lin Hui's right hand, however, seemed to have remained motionless, lying horizontally in front of him. But a strong wind had already begun to rise in front of him.

A large amount of airflow blew against the yellow cloth on the incense burner in front of the statues inside the main hall.

The airflow was dispersed by the incense altar, scattering in all directions and causing the curtains hanging in the rest of the hall to flutter continuously.

at last.

call!
Suddenly, a distorted, solid airflow spread out from Lin Hui himself.

This current of air was stronger than the previous breeze, and in just one breath, it made the entire incense stand shake violently.

"Amazing!" Lin Hui was deeply impressed.

He had never seen any martial art before that could produce such an exaggerated form.

After he awakened his memories of his past life and came to Qingfeng Temple, the Seven-Section Fast Sword he initially learned was quite normal, but he used it slowly to temper his body.

Then came the nine-section fast sword technique, which was quite formidable, far surpassing the skills of those fencers from my previous life. His attacks even left afterimages.

The next move, the Qingfeng Sword Technique, was a bit outrageous, so fast that people couldn't react. It was as fast as the wind.

And now, he has only just begun to practice the Gale Sword Technique, yet it has already caused such a great commotion.

If one were to fully master these three styles and nine moves, wouldn't they be able to ascend to the heavens?!

Lin Hui carefully recalled the information flooding into his mind.

Regarding the third tempering of the Gale Sword Technique, it corresponds exactly to the ninth rank, just like before.

Because he directly mastered all sword techniques and levels after his evolution, now if he wants to temper his body, he needs to practice repeatedly, just like he did when he tempered his body with the Perfect Breeze Sword.

He was somewhat intrigued by the surrounding wind, wondering what kind of special effect it was.

The special effect of feathering has now become his trump card for instantly boosting his combat power. This surrounding wind feels like some kind of protective or sensory ability.

Lin Hui carefully sensed the Gale Sword Technique, and only after his mood calmed down a bit did he look at the three new evolution branches that had appeared under the Gale Sword Technique.

This time there were actually three branches, which piqued his curiosity.

As attention focused, information quickly emerged from the three branches.

'1—Hellfire Wind Sword Technique.'

'2—Arcane Wind Elemental Sword.'

'3—Typhoon Sword Technique.'

"."

Lin Hui once thought that the evolution of the Blood Seal should mainly proceed in three directions: Purgatory, Ice, and Reality. But now, the two newly emerging branches tell him: you're overthinking it.

This bloodstain isn't just truly random; it even randomly produced something like an Arcane Wind Elemental Sword. Is this even normal?!

Speechless, he went through the specific details and conditions one by one.

'1—Hellfire Wind Sword: Legend has it that in the ancient history of Hell, there once existed a powerful swordsman skilled in utilizing the breath of Hell. Although he ultimately died in a riot of Hellfire breath, his swordsmanship was successfully preserved on a certain stone wall. This swordsmanship has strong single-target damage and possesses a certain degree of Hellish corruption. When combined with the Gale Sword, it forms a unique swordsmanship perfectly suited to the user.'

Required resources: Nine evil spirits, five years of energy reserves, and five years of mental reserves.

Time required: Nine years (plus additional time for the Hell Sword Embryo to develop after the reserves are complete).

"This..." Lin Huiguang looked at the description and knew that this sword technique was absolutely strong, extremely strong, and super strong!
But look at that nine-year period.
He decisively looked at the second one.

Although there are now drugs that can speed things up, even if nine years is shortened, it will still take a long time. We should take a look at the overall picture first.

'2——Arcane Wind Elemental Sword: This sword technique was created by a great arcane mage who was skilled in swordsmanship. In his spare time, the arcane mage created this sword technique for his grandson who liked swordsmanship but had no arcane aptitude.

This sword technique can draw upon the wind element in all things, increasing sword speed and adding various wind elemental arcane abilities. It has strong area-of-effect damage and astonishing destructive power, but it consumes a huge amount of resources. Its main purpose is to demonstrate the destructive power of wind.

Required resources: Thirteen days of quiet meditation in a windy place, eight years of accumulating energy, and eight years of cultivating mental strength.

Time required: Ten years (plus time to construct a miniature wind element pool within the body after absorption and storage are complete).

"This is even more ruthless, ten years! And the art style is exactly what I guessed, it's the style of the mage arcane world."

Speechless, Lin Hui finally looked at the third one.

'3—Typhoon Sword Technique: A completely new sword technique evolved from the Gale Sword Technique. It enhances the effect of sword wind in body tempering and actual combat, fundamentally changing the nature of internal force to form a cyclone-type internal force that primarily utilizes the rotational force of planets. Using this internal force to perform special sword techniques, one can borrow any external force to accelerate the sword wind and create a high-speed rotating airflow.'

This sword technique combines offense and defense, creating a home-field advantage within a certain range and making it impervious to low-level group attacks. It also weakens opponents of equal or higher energy levels.

Required resources: Seven years to build up physical strength, and seven years to build up mental strength.

Time required: Seven years (including the time needed for the additional cyclone-type internal energy to develop after absorption and storage).

'This is really strong too. Wait a minute!' Suddenly Lin Hui noticed that the "time required" column was marked as "additional".

'Could it be that this time is an extra waiting period after the initial energy reserve period?'

Lin Hui's heart skipped a beat.

The more he looked, the more it seemed to him.

Before he could continue guessing, the Blood Seal immediately gave a response.

It really is just extra waiting time.
'Looking at it this way, the first one is five plus nine, which is fourteen years.'

The second is eight plus ten, eighteen years.

The third is seven plus seven, which is fourteen years.

This is taking far too long. If he can't use medication to speed things up, Lin Hui has no idea how he'll have to wait this long.

At his current cultivation speed, he should reach the sixth level of internal energy in less than two years. The next step is to figure out how to break through the cycle of internal energy.

It can be said that from the third tempering of the Gale Sword Technique onwards, he had already embarked on a completely different path from traditional martial artists.

Here, martial artists who reach the sixth level of internal energy begin to pursue the Zhou Tian realm, a higher realm of internal energy, representing the evolution and sublimation of life. To a certain extent, they have abandoned the tempering of external techniques and turned to the complete cultivation of internal energy.

The Gale Sword Technique, however, still follows the path of combining internal and external techniques. It not only involves changes in internal energy but also includes a never-before-seen third stage of body tempering. It even incorporates other inexplicable elements.

Standing inside the main hall, Lin Hui was unable to make a choice for a long time.

He wanted all three branches of the Gale Sword Technique.

But this will take a very long time.

'If I take the full dose of energy-boosting medication every month to shorten my duration, then with the various prescriptions I currently possess, combined with the best approach, I wonder how many days I could shorten my time each month without Ganoderma lucidum? I can give it a try!'

Lin Hui made up his mind that he wouldn't rush to choose the blood seal. It was taking too long, and a few more days wouldn't make a difference. He planned to wait until the medicine was made before personally trying out the various prescriptions from the Hundred Flowers Sect to determine how much the month could be shortened, and then decide which one to choose.

After calming his mind, he exhaled deeply and continued to practice the new Gale Sword Technique.

This sword technique can be used for a third body tempering.

If the purpose of the second tempering is to stimulate the generation of internal force, then it is unknown what effect the third tempering will have.

However, the practice of the Gale Sword Technique was so noisy that Lin Hui had to leave the main hall after practicing it twice to avoid making a mess of everything inside.

He left the Taoist temple and searched for a suitable location along the edge of the foggy area.

As they walked further and further away, before long they passed through woods and fields and came to a barren wasteland full of rocks and hills.

The rocks here are all cobblestones, each one more than a person long and half a meter high, scattered here and there on the ground.

The soil was a hard, dark yellow, and there were hardly any weeds to be seen.

A few withered trees stand scattered in the distance, their bare branches making the surroundings appear even more desolate and barren.

Lin Hui looked around, found a large hill to use as a backdrop to block his view, and then marked the way back before continuing to practice his sword.

After practicing it only a few times, he felt the benefits of this place again.

This place is naturally windy, and the wind he generates is so strong that it's almost imperceptible unless you look closely.

Moreover, the soil here is moist, and the stones are large, numerous, and heavy, so ordinary winds cannot blow them away.

Furthermore, there were no flowers or plants, making it impossible to discern the direction of the airflow. It was perfect as a training ground for him.

"From now on, this place will be my main training ground, so I'll call it Gale Plain." Lin Hui was quite satisfied with the place. He simply gave it a new name himself.
