Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 545 Change of the World (Part 4)

Gradually, Han Yi became completely immersed in the experience, and in his mind, he seemed to transform into a god who controlled the severe cold and snow.

In the frigid snow, snowflakes fell in large flakes like willow catkins onto the ice. Ice shards, mixed with the biting wind, pelted down like bullets.

However, all of this had no effect on Han Yi.

On his chest and back, patterns of armor plates, resembling tortoise shells, slowly emerged, exuding an ancient, grand, and mysterious aura.

Unlike the physical changes that occurred after he mastered external martial arts.

These tortoise-shell patterned plates were entirely generated spontaneously from his protective energy, which could greatly enhance the toughness and strength of his protective energy.

In other words, the various characteristics that appear when one's external martial arts skills are mastered enhance one's physical defense capabilities.

The change in his protective energy at this moment was a significant enhancement to his magical defense and magic resistance.

He can withstand 20% or even 30% of the opponent's strength with 10% of his own, so he will naturally have a great advantage when their strength clashes.

With the frantic consumption and transformation of Yin energy, the cold current surging up from inside the body quickly reached its limit.

hiss…...

A fleeting look of pain crossed Han Yi's face before vanishing.

A large amount of cold air entered his body along with his blood and qi, and his skin, muscles and fascia all over his body slowly underwent qualitative changes under the vibration of this cold air.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

boom…...

Han Yi remained seated, his body surging with energy, an invisible, chilling force sweeping outwards like a cold tide.

Within a radius of several meters, the air was rapidly cooled by the force, forming patches of ice crystals.

boom!

Under the extreme cold, the metal mirror beside him finally couldn't withstand the strain. Metal fatigue caused it to break, and cracks appeared on the lens before it shattered with a crash.

Han Yi suddenly opened his eyes, raised his right hand, and slammed it against the window frame.

Swish!

A burst of cold, yin energy, compressed to its limit and resembling a stream of frost, twisted and whistled as it flew away.

Bang!

Even though he landed in an empty space, where there was nothing there, the force exploded outwards, and a visible white cold current spread wildly in all directions. A mass of cold current burst open, forming a layer of ice that instantly sealed the window. Han Yi slowly landed and got up to go to the window.

Curious, he stretched out his finger and gently poked the ice.

Thump...

The ice was incredibly hard; even with Han Yi's strength, he had to exert some effort.

In addition, the ice layer constantly emits a large amount of cold air, which spreads around the window frame and freezes everything.

"Impressive... As expected, this is the characteristic of the Cold Yin Force that freezes everything... Only at the seventh level of True Skill can one truly unleash its power..."

Han Yi felt a surge of emotion.

"panel."

Then, with a thought, he summoned the control panel.

【Main Skills】: Cold Yin Nine-Bend Palm (Seventh level of True Skill, Cold Yin Strength, Characteristics: Extreme Cold, Exhausted Yin, Profound Darkness); Mending Heaven Technique (Fifth level, Characteristics: Strengthening the Foundation, Returning to Origin, Endless Life, Bloodline Purification Level 1)

[Supplementary Training]: White Lotus Immaculate Body (Immaculate Strength, Third Level, Characteristics: Poison Avoidance, Enhanced Poison Resistance, Invulnerability to All Poisons); Qianyang Skill (Qianyang Strength, Perfected Strength, Characteristics: Rejuvenation, Evil Extermination); Flying Dragon Skill (Swimming Dragon Strength, Perfected Strength, Characteristics: Speed, Fire Poison, Ignition); Iron Armor Skill (Iron Armor Strength, Perfected Strength, Characteristics: Sharp Weapon Resistance, Reflection); Three Yang Stance Skill (Three Yang Stance Strength, Perfected Strength, Characteristics: Blunt Weapon Resistance, Rigid Body); Vajra Bright Jade Body (Vajra Bright Jade Strength, Characteristics: First Level of Internal Organ Refinement)

[Secret Technique]: Concealing Spirit (Special Effects: Concealing Qi, Gathering Blood); Pure Yang State (Special Effects: Strength Boost, Increased Speed, Enhanced Burst Damage, Vajra Protection)

Xuanming refers to the characteristic that spread throughout his body earlier, which can temporarily increase his defense against cold yin energy and slow down frostbite.

With the enhancement of the Xuanming characteristic, not only is the body's protective force greatly increased, but its power is also greatly enhanced.

Even long-range attacks subtly carry the effect of internal force. From this, it can be seen that after reaching the seventh level of true skill, the battles between martial artists are no longer limited to ordinary close-range punches and kicks.

Instead, it has become more flexible and diverse, offering more choices.

Long-range attacks like these, which resemble air cannons, are just the most basic applications.

Just like the time he fought Dong Qi not long ago.

The invisible force forming the flame armor on Dong Qi's body greatly increased his defense in a short time, but it also had a fierce fire poison backlash effect, catching him off guard and causing him to be hit by several blows in succession.

now think of it.

Dong Qi's performance at that time was actually the result of cultivating his internal energy to the seventh level, which gradually began to manifest and directly affected his performance in reality.

If it weren't for the fact that her entire body's strength had become much stronger in a short period of time, she wouldn't have been able to withstand his several full-force punches.

It can be said that after reaching the seventh level of true skill, the power becomes even more unpredictable, making tactics more flexible and varied.

For example, an agile martial artist can simply enhance their long-range power attack capabilities, using their skills to entangle the opponent like a kite.

Those who employ bold and unrestrained attacks, like Dong Qi, can also engage in direct confrontations, strengthening their defense and power to defeat their opponent in one move.

"It is evident that after the seventh level of true skill, there is a watershed between martial artists and those below the seventh level, with a huge gap between them."

This is actually like the difference between undergraduate and graduate students. Below the seventh level, you need to strengthen your skills and choose the direction that suits you best.

Upon reaching the seventh level of true skill, one specializes in one area and develops it to its fullest potential.

Han Yi pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized.

“However, although I have cultivated to the seventh level of True Skill, the strength I can show to the outside world is only the sixth level of True Skill… In this way, I should cultivate a few exclusive secret techniques of the sixth level, so that at least it will look like something else…” Han Yi thought to himself as he took out a small box from his pocket.

Inside was a white vine with curled leaves, emitting a white, chilly aura.

This is the "White Ice Vine King," a breakthrough catalyst commonly used by disciples of the Nine Bends Academy for advancing from the fifth to the sixth level of Cold Yin Energy. Its effect is to enhance the toughness and adhesion of the energy after the breakthrough.

Most of the resource points that Han Yi brought back from the secret realm were actually exchanged for this.

Since it's about the strength that can be displayed on the surface, then we should prepare everything step by step, according to the procedures and rules.

He was at the fifth level of true skill before, so he couldn't have broken through to the sixth level inexplicably without using a breakthrough catalyst, could he?

Wouldn't that arouse suspicion?

If you want to hide everything, then do a good job of making it look good on the surface.

Han Yi stuffed the "White Ice Vine King" into his mouth, and it soon turned into a viscous, cold liquid that entered his stomach and was completely absorbed, becoming a source of energy replenishment.

Although it's somewhat wasteful, it's something that has to be done.

After being repeatedly bluffed by Fang He, he completely lost faith in the moral compass and integrity of any martial arts master in this world.
