Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 410 Introduction

For these reasons, Han Yi really had no good way to deal with Meng Ren.

"You're just a novice, so practice more!" Han Yi opened his eyes, looking weak and listless. "Once you've mastered the skill, you'll naturally understand the principles."

"Brother, I practice every day, and I do it exactly as you say!" Meng Ren complained repeatedly. "I stand in the stance for a hundred breaths every day, polish the iron sandbag a hundred times, run ten laps around Jingtian Village every day, and I can't even drink water."

I did exactly as my older brother instructed. But it was no use!

"You actually did it?" Han Yi was speechless.

This was just something he said casually out of impatience, but unexpectedly, the simple-minded Meng Ren actually believed it.

"Then you should persevere a little longer. You need to persist for at least a while before you see results..."

Since he believed it, let's keep fooling him and get rid of him...

"I understand, brother, I'll listen to you!" Meng Renyi said earnestly. "Brother, tell me again about that sudden increase in your moves last time, what was the principle behind it?"

"This technique is a secret art that you'll grasp once your physical abilities reach a certain level. It takes at least three years to master it. After three years, you'll naturally reap the rewards..."

Han Yi was too lazy to say more. This guy wanted to learn the "Reverse Scale" secret technique?

He's not like Meng Ren, that simpleton. The "Reverse Scale" technique is his most treasured skill, and he wouldn't easily tell others about it.

Besides, even if Meng Ren were told, he still wouldn't be able to practice.

The "Reverse Scale" secret technique, in essence, is actually the superposition of properties, or rather, the collision and fusion of two different yang-oriented forces.

In other words, one must master multiple martial arts styles to have any chance of achieving this.

Clearly, Meng Ren was not among them.

After chatting casually with Meng Ren for a few more minutes and sending him away, Han Yi solemnly took out a small silver-white box from his pocket.

The box is square with pointed octagonal corners, about the size of a palm, and sealed with a red mark. This indicates that it is not an ordinary box.

The items stored inside are all sealed and preserved using a special process.

He gently unsealed the box and opened it.

suddenly…...

A cloud of cold white mist rose up.

It is a heart, as big as a baby's fist, its icy jade color like the finest jade, its surface smooth, meticulously carved, resembling fresh flesh and blood, still exuding a vibrant energy, radiating coldness.

The Arctic Fox is a ferocious beast with a small population and is difficult to capture. It can only be found in rare quantities in the eternally cold ice plains of the far north.

The Perpetual Cold Ice Plains, located in the far north, are sparsely populated, perpetually cold and solidified, with ice and snow that never melt. The climate is extremely harsh, with blizzards and freezing winds raging year-round.

This is the heart of an Arctic fox.

Han Yi could clearly sense that a cold energy was slowly seeping out from inside. He was familiar with this energy; it was the "frost" characteristic that came with his Cold Yin Force.

The fourth level of true skill requires the first strengthening of one's internal energy, which means it needs various "catalysts," namely, tempering one's internal energy through specific demonic beasts, rare and precious materials, and other rare items.

This Arctic fox heart was a promise made by Headmaster Zhong Yunxiu to Han Yi, fulfilling her promise that Han Yi would achieve mastery of the third level of true skill and rank high in the fist-fighting competition. A few days ago, she had Zhong Han personally deliver it to Han Yi.

"It's better to master one skill than to learn a hundred. The heart of this Arctic Fox is incredibly cold and highly intelligent; it's said to greatly enhance the frost-like properties of the Nine-Bend Palm technique..."

Han Yi recalled Zhong Han's introduction in his mind.

The third level of the perfected Nine-Bend Palm will amplify its power in different aspects depending on the different triggers.

When Zhong Yunxiu explained the fourth level of the Nine-Bend Palm to him, specifically the direction of force differentiation, he chose the specialization option, which was to continue increasing his ability to restrict cold.

"However, according to the records, while the heart of the Northern Ice Fox is considered a high-grade breakthrough tempering catalyst, it is not the best. The absolute best tempering catalyst is the heart of a ferocious beast called the Howling Moon Fox..."

He frowned slightly, thinking about some things that had happened before.

The reason why there are differences in strength among martial arts masters of the same level is partly due to the interrelationship of mutual generation and restraint between their true skills.

On the other hand, there is a competition based on resource disparities.

Both individuals had average aptitude and cultivated the same true skill, but one consumed meat from demonic beasts that were compatible with the true skill every day, while the other consumed meat from commoners, such as "Phoenix Crown Turkey" and "Giant Blue Ox," at will.

At first, there may not be any difference, but over time, the former's strength, storage capacity, and burst speed will definitely be much stronger than the latter's, and the chance of breaking through levels will be much greater.

This is because consuming the meat of beasts that are compatible with the true power of martial arts every day will subtly change the martial artist's physique, making it more compatible with the martial arts technique. Therefore, the strength cultivated will naturally be stronger.

This is why, when Han Yi first entered Jing Tian Manor, even though he didn't have much money, he worked desperately to earn it, consuming Qionghua fish meat every day, which was compatible with the Cold Yin Nine-Bend Palm.

That's the reason. So, on the other hand...

If you fall behind others in the initial breakthrough during a crucial moment like breaking through a checkpoint, then a gap will appear in the subsequent clash of strength.

Often, it's just that tiny difference that leads to failure at crucial moments.

Han Yi was originally a perfectionist with some obsessive-compulsive tendencies.

If there are no better options and we have to use the Arctic Fox as a breakthrough catalyst, then so be it.

But now, the finest refining agent, the heart of the Howling Moon Fox, is right in front of him, which will undoubtedly make him hesitate.

"Although Senior Sister Zhong Han said that while the breakthrough catalyst is crucial, the most important thing is the accumulation of strength over time. However, even among catalysts of the same nature, there are differences in quality."

Undoubtedly, a more ferocious, stronger, and better-attributed demonic beast catalyst will inevitably make the breakthrough power even stronger. However, this Howling Moon Fox beast has long since vanished without a trace…”

"In that case, it seems we still need Yin energy... as a supplementary price, to try and simulate the heart of the Howling Moon Fox as much as possible..."

Han Yi's brows relaxed slightly, and he quickly made a decision.

The Yin Qi Breakthrough inherently possesses the function of simulating a breakthrough trigger.

His Heaven-Mending Technique requires various rare and exotic beasts as catalysts for each breakthrough.

It also uses yin energy simulation instead.

Han Yi took a deep breath and put the Arctic fox heart in his mouth.

It didn't taste bloody as I had imagined. Instead, it was chewy and bouncy, like jelly, and it was refreshing to eat.
