"You can try and see if you can kill
like you killed Mo Qianpo." Chen Guan neither admitted nor denied it, letting others speculate.
"It seems that after so many years of not taking action, so humans have forgotten the fear I once instilled in them." i Saint's eyes gradually beca cold. His originally human-like pupils suddenly scattered, transforming from a single large pupil into many small ones that crowded his eyes, completely obscuring the whites.
The Secret Spirits quickly retreated, and those who knew of i Saint's terrifying reputation also stepped back.
Only Jin Taohua remained standing there without retreating, watching the battle between the two with great interest.
The King of the Divine Martial Corps, who had joined forces with the Corps, also used a Secret Technique to monitor the situation in i City.
He didn't retreat at the first mont, nor did he intend to leave.
"Your Majesty, who exactly is that person to possess such terrifying power?" Qing Ya asked, her face full of worry.
The King of the Divine Martial Corps sneered, "He has rely practiced the Reverse Elent Skill, which gives him a primordial energy density and strength far surpassing that of his peers, making him seem so formidable."
"Reverse Elent Skill?" Qing Ya hadn't paid much attention to such a Secret Skill because very few people succeed in its cultivation, making it hard to garner widespread attention.
"It's a Secret Skill capable of refining primordial energy, retaining the essence while discarding impurities, and compressing energy. However, with each level practiced, it reduces the maximum energy cap to just a tenth. Most cultivators can't practice beyond two or three levels, with only ordinary results unless they've practiced at least four levels for it to have noticeably special effects." The King of the Divine Martial Corps snorted coldly. "Only a few cultivators with special talents or those using special thods can advance the Reverse Elent Skill to high levels, all taking shortcuts. No cultivator's own primordial energy can achieve a high level in the Reverse Elent Skill."
"So, if practiced, doesn't the Reverse Elent Skill make one invincible? Why is it that so few people practice it?" Qing Ya inquired.
"Taking shortcuts isn't that easy. Only a few find success, and there is no thod suitable for all cultivators. This Reverse Elent Skill is destined to be a Secret Skill usable by only a few, indeed very powerful, but to say invincible, that's not necessarily the case."
The King of the Divine Martial Corps sneered, "If it truly were invincible, then Mo Qianpo wouldn't have been killed. There is indeed a capacity to restrain the Reverse Elent Skill, and i Saint's ability is one such example."
"i Saint can restrain the Reverse Elent Skill?" Qing Ya was sowhat surprised.
"If not, why would I feign defeat and easily give the Dragonblood Herb to him?" The King of the Divine Martial Corps squinted his eyes, seeming like a venomous snake ready to bite. "I really can't break the Reverse Elent Skill, but i Saint can. Let them fight like the snipe and clam, and then we'll reap the rewards. By then, we may not only retrieve the Dragonblood Herb but also incorporate i City into my territory."
"But if i Saint can restrain the Reverse Elent Skill, what if he easily resolves that person and takes the Dragonblood Herb?" Qing Ya pondered aloud.
"It's not so simple. For i Saint to restrain the Reverse Elent Skill, he will also need to pay a substantial price. If his condition remains stable, I'll simply reclaim the Dragonblood Herb. If he uses up the Secret Collection as well, that's the best ti for
to slay i Saint and seize i City." The King of the Divine Martial Corps had evidently had thoughts about i City long before but had never had the confidence to deal with i Saint, thus keeping such thoughts hidden.
Now, this was an excellent opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, and the King of the Divine Martial Corps had considered all possibilities, feeling there was no way he'd lose.
Chen Guan regarded the transformation of i Saint without much surprise.
Although i Saint looked human, he was not truly human, so being different was normal.
"This i Saint, could he be proficient in spiritual attacks like Bu Changning?" Chen Guan wondered as he observed i Saint's eyes.
From the information he had gathered, i Saint didn't seem known for spiritual attacks, nor did he have the soul attack capability like Bai Xiuyan.
But better safe than sorry, so Chen Guan activated the Heroic Spirit Unsheathed state to protect his soul from attacks and avoid Mo Qianpo's fate.
Yet, Chen Guan didn't sense any attack on his soul or any spiritual assault.
i Saint flicked his fingers, and from his sleeve flew out a needle-thin red beam of light, straight as a laser, aiming for Chen Guan's forehead.
Chen Guan countered with a palm strike, using the Blood Hand Seal to et the needle-thin red beam.
Clang!
The red beam and his palm collided, producing a crisp tallic ringing sound.
The red beam shattered, and although Chen Guan was unhard, he felt a slight sensation where his palm t the red beam and couldn't help examining his palm, finding no damage.
"How do you find my Plum Blossom Finger?" i Saint asked coldly.
"Not very impressive." Chen Guan had heard of i Saint's Plum Blossom Finger, and now seeing it firsthand, he realized it was indeed extraordinary, no wonder i City, in the Celestial Essence Sea, could suppress the masses and forge its foundation.
Having experienced it himself, Chen Guan realized that the Plum Blossom Finger was a technique for primordial energy compression.
This was different from the Reverse Elent Skill, which wasn't just about compression but also involved eliminating and reconstructing.
During the practice of the Reverse Elent Skill, most inferior energy is expelled, leaving only the most refined and pure energy, which is decomposed to its original state for reconstruction and compression.
It's akin to filling a cup with iron ore, then filling gaps with gravel, and lastly talcum powder with water.
The Reverse Elent Skill removes all the water, talcum powder, and gravel, refining the iron ore and removing impurities, ultimately forging pure iron.
In fact, this analogy isn't entirely fitting because the Reverse Elent Skill involves not just refinent but also reconstruction and compression.
It's sowhat like turning lead into gold, removing three protons from a lead atomic nucleus to transform it into a gold nucleus.
The reconstruction of the Reverse Elent Skill is a qualitative change, not just simple compression.
Completing the Reverse Elent Skill is very challenging and consus a large amount of primordial energy, with the remaining energy being extrely pure after reconstruction and compression.
The Plum Blossom Finger, however, is simply about compressing primordial energy to the extre, akin to pressing sawdust into dense, solid planks.
While it can indeed make the primordial energy more intense, it doesn't have as high a cap as the Reverse Elent Skill does.
In the initial levels, the Plum Blossom Finger might be more effective, possibly above the Reverse Elent Skill.
But after four levels, the Reverse Elent Skill surpasses the Plum Blossom Finger, even if the Plum Blossom Finger reaches level 60, the compressed primordial energy struggles to compete with the reconstructed energy of the four-level Reverse Elent Skill.
Post level five, the Plum Blossom Finger is even further behind.
Chen Guan's mastery of the Reverse Elent Skill at level nine dwarfs what the Plum Blossom Finger can achieve.
Moreover, the Plum Blossom Finger's effect only works when used, whereas practicing the Reverse Elent Skill benefits any Secret Skill afterward.
