This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!

"..."

"How long do you plan to stay this time?"

"The Emperor has tasked me with investigating a case, at most ten days, then I must go to Gan Province."

"Will you return after that?"

"...I will return!"

Looking at Li Fei's resolute expression, Shi Caiming suddenly felt a bit angry, "Draw your sword, let me see if your saber technique has improved."

Li Fei was taken aback and before he could react, Shi Caiming flicked his finger, sending a spark flying from his fingertip.

As the spark reached Li Fei, it exploded violently, turning into a blazing sword force!

Li Fei sensed the danger in advance, retreating while activating his Mixed Element Star Armor.

The sword force struck the golden armor, sparking a large cluster of sparks.

In an instant, the world before Li Fei transformed:

The mountaintop grassland caught fire from the sparks, and raging flames instantly turned the whole mountaintop into a sea of fire!

In the sky, countless flying sparks, like red fireflies, turned the sky a crimson red, the intense heat almost melting metal.

Li Fei's expression turned solemn as he drew his Ghost Slash Blade and slashed.

Golden light burst from the blade, then transformed into numerous golden flashes, penetrating this world of flames!

However, the extinguished flames quickly reignited, burning even more fiercely than before.

Li Fei's use of the "Infinite Bright Fire" not only failed to break through Shi Caiming's Tao Power, but instead caused it to transform and grow stronger!

In the world of flames, a giant tree burst through the soil, its branches adorned with flame flowers.

A strong wind passed, shaking the flame flowers from the branches, transforming into a sky full of sparks, sweeping towards Li Fei.

"Fire Tree Silver Flower Never Night Sky!"

Li Fei's Mixed Element Star Armor melted, his mind captivated by this spectacular scene, he became intoxicated.

When he came back to his senses, he was still standing perfectly fine on the grassland, with no signs of it having burned around him.

Only the unsheathed Ghost Slash Blade, his still-hot robe, and the reduced Blood Soul within the Myriad Blood Pearl reminded him of everything that had just occurred.

"Your saber technique is not even a tenth of your master's. If he were still here, he would be infuriated to death by you," Shi Caiming said, still sitting in the chair, sneering.

Li Fei was startled, "Was that move just now my master's saber technique?"

"He left you all his knowledge, and it seems you haven't studied it well," Shi Caiming shook his head.

Li Fei felt somewhat ashamed.

He had spent the past few months practicing Martial Arts, studying Magic, and researching Dream Command.

He worked on "Red Sound Fire Vajra Skill," "Calamity Relief Vajra Method."

He also delved into Lin Tianyi's notes, studying the Unity of Magic and Martial Arts.

Indeed, he had not properly learned the legacies Hao Yi had left him.

Now, Li Tianyu's grasp of the Sky Gang Sect's Martial Arts probably surpassed his own.

"Do you think that because 'Vajra Eight Parts' is Pudu Temple's supreme skill and is of a higher level than Sky Gang Sect's Martial Arts and the best-suited for Vajra Force in the world, you don't need to learn the Sky Gang Sect's Martial Arts anymore?" Shi Caiming stared intently at Li Fei, challenging him.

Li Fei opened his mouth but didn't speak.

He indeed harbored such thoughts and even wanted Li Tianyu to learn the Sky Gang Sect's Martial Arts to inherit the tradition.

Shi Caiming looked at Li Fei's young face and suddenly sighed.

He knew that this young man had already done exceptionally well, perfectly, and should not be faulted further.

His sudden anger was not actually about the Martial Arts.

"Sky Gang Sect's Martial Arts is indeed not as good as those of Pudu Temple, and 'Vajra Eight Skills' indeed suits you better. But in the realm of saber technique, what your master left you is no less than any sect's Martial Arts in the world."

Shi Caiming spoke in a gentle tone to Li Fei.

Li Fei nodded gravely.

He had visited the Royal Book Collection Pavilion, where from the seventh to the tenth floor, all were peerless martial arts involving Tao Power.

But above that, it involved Divine Skills, already beyond the scope of Martial Arts.

Thus, though Hao Yi's final realm was only that of a Martial Arts Master, involving Tao Power level martial arts, he truly was able to innovate, creating the most top-notch peerless saber technique based on the original foundation of the Sky Gang Sect!

Pudu Temple was indeed stronger than the Sky Gang Sect, but the strength lies in the higher-level power and inheritance, at the Tao Power level, Shi Caiming had already made a judgement:

Hao Yi's saber technique was second to none!

"I will definitely spend more time learning Master's saber technique."

Li Fei spoke earnestly to Shi Caiming.

Sky Gang Sect also had Tao Power, just not as profound as "Vajra Eight Parts" Tao Power.

The former could only be placed on the seventh floor of the Royal Book Collection Pavilion, while the latter could be placed on the tenth floor.

Therefore, previously, Li Fei had never spent time practicing the Sky Gang Sect's Tao Power, only learning Mixed Element Star Armor.

But now, hearing Shi Caiming say this, he planned to spend more time on the saber technique in the future.

Shi Caiming nodded, "It's not really your fault, I had said we would wait until you integrated the Fire Attribute Implant and acquired the Fire Attribute Innate Qi before I could teach you to comprehend his Heaven and Earth One Strike. But at that time, you had just gone to participate in the competition and only now have you returned."

Li Fei glanced at the Ghost Slash Blade in his hand, the seal inside the blade had already stored up enough power, enough for him to release a 'Heaven and Earth One Strike.'

However, he had always kept this trump card unused.

"Tao Power is the peak of martial arts, the perfect embodiment of a martial artist's essence, qi, and divine spirit, but everyone's peak is different, and the application of Tao Power is hierarchical."

Shi Caiming began his teaching.

Li Fei walked up beside him, listening carefully.

"The first layer of Tao Power is called 'Entering Tao,' which is just beginning to touch Tao Power. Martial Artists who are at the peak of the Tao Foundation Stage are usually at this realm."

"The second layer of Tao Power is called 'Ruyi,' which means one can employ Tao Power at will, seamlessly connecting moves without any need for Qi Exchange, usually achieved only after becoming a Martial Arts Master, though a very few Tao Foundation Stage Martial Artists can also do it."

Li Fei remembered the Martial Arts Masters he had challenged at the Daluo Sect.

These people were using Tao Power at the 'Ruyi' realm—fluid, seamless, and flexible in their use of Tao Power, which left a deep impression on him.

And this was clearly not the limit of Tao Power.

Shi Caiming continued:

"The third layer of Tao Power is called 'Mysterious Realm,' where the restrained Mind Power starts to manifest externally, not only affecting an individual but an extensive area, making one feel as if they were in a mysterious and magnificent scene."

Li Fei thought back to the fire world earlier and nodded.

When Hao Yi and Xu Jing dueled in the square, Hao Yi used his Heaven and Earth One Strike, and the Mind Power affected the entire square—anyone within it was influenced!

Evidently, both Shi Caiming and Hao Yi's Tao Power were not below the 'Mysterious Realm.'

"Martial Arts Masters can achieve 'Ruyi,' but not many can reach 'Mysterious Realm.' Generally speaking, only those close to being a Great Grandmaster or who have reached the realm of a Great Grandmaster can relatively easily grasp 'Mysterious Realm,' which is the rudimentary form of the Martial Arts Domain."

"As for above 'Mysterious Realm,' the fourth and highest layer of Tao Power is called 'Creation.' This level is truly an art near Dao!

The Tao Power at 'Creation' level can possess force changes that break common sense, almost equivalent to having developed a new Divine Skill, truly using martial skills to achieve divine feats!"

Hearing this, Li Fei immediately thought of his recent duel with Lan Ruoyun, where she used a Tao Power technique—[Lan Cause Fluff Fruit].

The completely illogical force conversion displayed unbelievable effects!

Without a doubt, the martial artist who originally created [Lan Cause Fluff Fruit] must have been at the 'Creation' level.

Although Lan Ruoyun had mastered [Lan Cause Fluff Fruit], she was just at the 'Entering Tao' level.

If she could reach the 'Creation' level, to fully display [Lan Cause Fluff Fruit]'s power, it wouldn't have been so easy for Li Fei to win against her.

"Your master Hao Yi was able to defeat Xu Jing, who possessed three Divine Skills, in one breakthrough all because his final strike using the Refining Objects Divine Power had reached the 'Creation' level!"

Shi Caiming looked at Li Fei, and so saying.

There is another chapter tonight.
