Chapter 217: Chapter 205: Special Forces-style Enhancement Method, Wash Your Neck and Wait for Death! (Three more today, 1/3)

Chu Feng had not forgotten that before he came, his mentor Lu Lin had given him two martial techniques to compensate for his weaknesses; of course, he needed to catch up on his lessons before departing.

The martial techniques he currently possessed also needed to be enhanced. After all, the Demon Battlefield was far more dangerous than the common Demon Realms, and every bit of strength mattered.

These three booklets were the lessons he needed to catch up on, specifically "Thunder Light Step," "Golden Spirit Body Refining Technique," and the spiritual power offensive battle technique "Spirit Slaying Sword!"

There’s no need to mention the first two; "Spirit Slaying Sword" was part of the "Entry Gift Pack" received from the high-end Combat Technique Research Institute.

...

The high-end Combat Technique Research Institute had strict requirements for its members:

Junior members had to participate in at least three research tasks published by the professors each year or submit at least two of their own martial technique research results, and the results had to be approved by the institute’s resident professors, no mere filling of quotas allowed.

Those who failed to meet the requirements would lose their membership and would have certain benefits returned at market value.

Senior members enjoyed better treatment, and the research tasks were even more burdensome, with some spending all day in the institute to complete their tasks.

While the rules were strict, the benefits were satisfying: upon entering the institute, one could choose a spiritual power combat technique of their choice!

This self-chosen combat technique was jokingly referred to as the "Entry Gift Pack."

Ordinary people generally chose a spiritual power defense combat technique, providing them with fighting power against the Demon Clan.

However, Chu Feng, possessing stronger spiritual power than ordinary people and the Divine Artifact, the Crystal Rainbow Bracelet, had little need for spiritual power defense techniques, so he chose an offensive battle technique, "Spirit Slaying Sword."

...

’The first martial technique, "Thunder Light Step!"’

Chu Feng brought up the attribute panel and picked up the booklet to his left, carefully flipping through it.

At the end, his panel popped up with a notification.

[Touched an Upper Earth Grade martial technique: Thunder Light Step, would you like to spend 5 Attribute Points to learn it?]

It was a valuable Upper Earth Grade martial technique!

Chu Feng felt inwardly moved; it really was cool to take shade under a big tree.

A thin camel is still bigger than a horse, many high-level martial techniques that other people could only dream of, could be obtained by Professor Lu Lin, and he was even willing to give them to him.

—He didn’t believe other professors were so kind-hearted to give a secret martial technique for free to students not under their guidance.

If it weren’t for Lu Lin’s support, other professors definitely wouldn’t be so generous, even if the Composite Technique was his masterpiece.

’The mentor has been too generous to me. I need to think of a way to repay him, otherwise the goodwill from "Minor Seven Meridians Chaos Technique" might soon be depleted.’

Thinking so in his mind, his heart answered ’yes.’

In an instant, complex martial technique insights emerged in his mind, and Thunder Cultivation True Force circulated in his lower body, causing a slight numbness in his legs as if refined by Thunder System True Force.

[Acquired an Upper Earth Grade martial technique: Thunder Light Step]

A new line appeared on the panel, [Thunder Light Step (Upper Earth Grade)]Beginner (1%).

Just as he was about to reach for "Golden Spirit Body Refining Technique," another prompt popped up on the panel.

[Acquired martial techniques: Rapid Wind Steps (Human Rank Medium Grade) and Thunder Light Step (Upper Earth Grade) are compatible, would you like to merge the martial techniques?]

Chu Feng’s eyes lit up: ’Yes!’

The attribute panel had never disappointed him; the combined step technique would certainly not be inferior!

[Detected conflict between the martial techniques: Rapid Wind Steps (Human Rank Medium Grade) and Thunder Light Step (Upper Earth Grade), please designate one martial technique as the core!]

Chu Feng pondered briefly and made a decision: ’Use Rapid Wind Steps as the core!’

Compared to Thunder Light Step, which prioritizes speed and is less flexible, he was more accustomed to using Rapid Wind Steps with the Wind Concealment trait, a key advantage for thriving behind enemy lines.

However, Rapid Wind Steps was not distinguished for its speed, and it was somewhat unable to keep up with his progress.

But using Rapid Wind Steps as the core and enhancing it with Thunder Light Step would solve that problem.

In his mind, insights from the two martial techniques collided, sparking complex synthesis processes that overwhelmed him.

After a while, the tumultuous insights finally calmed down, and a brand-new martial technique emerged in his mind.

It was a dual-attribute step technique of wind and thunder, amalgamating the strengths of both Rapid Wind Steps and Thunder Light Step, adept at extreme speed as well as flexible maneuvers!

[Martial Technique Synthesis Successful, Please Name the New Martial Technique!]

Chu Feng, too lazy to think, casually named it: "Wind-Thunder Step Technique."

[Naming Successful, Acquired Upper Earth Grade Martial Technique: Wind-Thunder Step Technique!]

On the panel, the entries for Rapid Wind Steps and Thunder Light Step silently disappeared, replaced by the new martial technique.

[Wind-Thunder Step Technique (Upper Earth Grade)] Minor Achievement (2%)

Trait: Primary Wind Concealment, Primary Thunder Escape

’The realm has fallen back to minor achievement, but the grade of the martial technique hasn’t decreased. The Wind Concealment trait is retained, Stepping through Air is gone, replaced by Thunder Escape...

’Perfect, after I learned to fly, Stepping through Air became pointless anyway.’

Chu Feng nodded in satisfaction, this was exactly what he had anticipated.

’Later on, I’ll improve everything at once, but first let me see what secrets the remaining two martial techniques hold.’

He reached out and picked up the "Golden Spirit Body Refining Technique."

...

The same process, a different insight, a new line of text emerged on the panel.

[Golden Spirit Body Refining Technique (Lower Earth Tier)] Beginner (1%)

An Upper Earth Grade martial technique is also something difficult for ordinary people to obtain.

Chu Feng tried using the Golden Spirit Body Refining Technique; a faint golden glow appeared on the surface of his body, and he noticed an approximate 20% enhancement in the hardness of his body.

He uttered a light cry, promoting his Bronze Body.

Instantly, the skin under the faint golden glow revealed the color of bronze, both complementing each other impressively.

After a brief moment of insight, a joyful expression spread across Chu Feng’s face.

The Golden Spirit Body Refining Technique actually had a strengthening effect on his Bronze Body!

With the enhancement from the Golden Spirit Body Refining Technique, the strength of the Bronze Body had significantly stepped up a level!

Now, even if he were to take up a Tang Sword and strike at full strength, it would probably be hard to penetrate his defense.

’Now I really have become an unbreakable Copper Pea, and a gold-plated one at that!’

Chu Feng shook his head, chuckling.

After a brief pause to stabilize his emotions, Chu Feng reached out and picked up the "Spirit Slaying Sword."

Continue!

...

...

The next morning.

Chu Feng pushed open the door of the quiet room, walked to the window, and threw open the curtains, opening the window.

The first light of dawn appeared like a huge egg yolk, half-revealed at the horizon, emitting a soft, non-blinding light.

A gentle breeze carrying a touch of moisture brushed Chu Feng’s face.

The slight dampness felt like a loved one gently caressing his face with a small hand, easing the nearly explosive mental strain after a night of busyness.

In one night, he had reviewed all the martial techniques he learned and had used a massive amount of Attribute Points to select and enhance some of them.

Now his mind was full of various swirling insights on martial techniques, giving him a sense of car-sickness, and the scenery outside the window almost made him want to vomit.

’I’ll never do this kind of Special Forces-style upgrade again! It’s literally killing me!’

He rubbed his temples forcefully, a look of distress on his face.

But the results of one night were astonishing!

Looking at the 93 remaining spare Attribute Points on the panel, and the neat row of martial techniques that had all reached the Peak Perfection realm, a smile full of murderous intent appeared on his face.
