CHAPTER 452: TYRANT FIST AND DOMINANCE SCRIPTURE

Chapter 452: Tyrant Fist and Dominance Scripture

...

Kunlun Immortal Palace.

"Her Eminence, the Black Blade Sect has renamed itself to Wind Spirit Sect."

Behind the folding screen, Hua Jin, who had been meditating with her eyes closed, opened one eye in surprise.

"When did this happen?"

"Just last night. The current sect master of Wind Spirit Sect stormed Black Blade Sect's mountain gate and forcibly assimilated all disciples including their sect master."

After hearing the report, Hua Jin frowned.

The Black Blade Sect's strength was considerable—they at least had a Golden Core stage sect master. How could their entire sect be taken over so easily?

Renamed overnight?

Suspicious!

Extremely suspicious!

"Notify Wang Shouyi. Have him go investigate Black... well, now called Wind Spirit Sect!"

"Yes!" The disciple bowed and retreated.

"Troubled times indeed... or am I being too sensitive?" Hua Jin massaged her temples. Ever since those mysterious sword cultivators appeared, her nerves had been constantly on edge, making her suspicious of every little thing that happened.

Such sect transitions had become quite normal after the Well of Heaven opened and the prohibition against inter-sect conflicts was lifted.

But this excessive tension had left her utterly exhausted recently.

"Come to think of it, didn't Chen Huaian give me a pill for calming the mind?"

Remembering this, Hua Jin took out the medicine box and opened it. Immediately, a rich medicinal aroma wafted out.

Just one whiff made her entire body feel significantly lighter.

"Excellent quality!"

She was quite accomplished in pill refinement herself.

Just from the scent alone, she could tell this pill was crafted with extraordinary skill using an equally exquisite formula.

After swallowing the pill, she indeed felt refreshed and clear-headed.

She couldn't help shaking her head in admiration: "Heavenly Dao's gifts are truly the most precious and unpredictable... This Chen Huaian has great potential for nurturing!"

The inheritance of Ascenders was fixed—they could only continuously absorb and expand upon existing foundations.

Just like how Kunlun Immortal Palace and Great Thunder Temple remained unchanged through cycles, all their current possessions—techniques, martial arts, magical instruments, alchemy methods, and formations—were accumulated gradually by absorbing Awakened through countless cycles.

Those great existences only bestowed upon them the pure method of ascension.

This was because the Heavenly Dao's gifts to Awakened were completely random—the same person might receive different blessings in different cycles. Someone blessed in one cycle might be completely ordinary in the next, perhaps not even surviving until the Spiritual Revival era.

Hua Jin couldn't help thinking about those great existences who seemed to be searching for something.

Perhaps these endless cycles existed to find that one variable in the Heavenly Dao's rules.

This was also why those great existences had been so excited when she reported the appearance of the mysterious sword cultivators.

As for whether Chen Huaian was a variable like those sword cultivators...

Hua Jin dismissed the thought.

Chen Huaian was merely fortunate to have gained rare pill refinement abilities from the Heavenly Dao's blessings during Spiritual Revival.

This alone wasn't enough to be considered a variable by those great existences.

After all, in the grand scheme of things, mere pills couldn't change the overall situation.

...

Black Blade Sect.

After deciding on cultivation techniques for the disciples, Chen Huaian fell into stunned silence just like Zhang Yibai had before.

First, none of the disciples could learn any of the basic spear, staff, fist or palm techniques that Zhang Yibai already possessed.

Then Chen Huaian brought out some lower-level martial arts from Sword Pavilion—still nothing.

"Pigs! A whole herd of fucking idiots!"

Chen Huaian finally snapped, pointing at Li Zongsi's nose and cursing loudly.

Li Zongsi looked embarrassed.

This was the first time in his life he'd seen so many martial arts techniques, and he was utterly dazzled. It was also the first time he realized how poor his aptitude truly was.

Over fifty different martial arts, and he couldn't comprehend a single one.

"Brother, calm down. Getting angry isn't good for your health."

Now it was Zhang Yibai's turn to console Chen Huaian, even having to restrain him from punching Li Zongsi into paste.

"Deputy Sect Master, if it really doesn't work... maybe we should just keep practicing our Deathly Black Blade technique..." Li Zongsi shrank back, not daring to meet Chen Huaian's furious gaze as he muttered, "That blade technique was pretty good—many sects couldn't stand against us when we used it."

"Bullshit!" Chen Huaian rolled his eyes.

They'd barely managed to thin out the gray qi hovering over these disciples' heads, and now he wanted to practice that Deathly Black Blade again?

Never mind whether practicing it would re-contaminate them with gray qi—the technique itself was third-rate!

Getting angry was pointless though.

Forcing himself to calm down, Chen Huaian began considering alternatives.

If they couldn't learn techniques from Sword Pavilion or True Martial Holy Land, then alchemy from Dan Sect or medical arts from Lingxi Valley were completely out of the question—those were even more complex than martial arts.

He opened his Electronic Girlfriend game and browsed through several shops before his gaze settled on the Demonic Cultivator Shop.

This shop also sold martial arts—plenty of them, with a thousand pages listing ten techniques each.

He noticed filter options in the top right corner not just for grade, but also for cultivation difficulty and comprehension difficulty.

Given Li Zongsi and the disciples' situation, cultivation difficulty was irrelevant—they simply couldn't comprehend anything.

So he set the comprehension difficulty to the lowest setting.

Immediately, only three techniques remained from tens of thousands.

[Evil-Warding Staff Technique (Mystic Grade High): Difficult to comprehend without castration. Easier to comprehend after castration, but success not guaranteed. Some practitioners may develop certain homosexual tendencies.]

[Tyrant Fist (Earth Grade Low): Easy to comprehend. Extremely harsh training conditions. Practitioners experience significant muscle and bone growth. Most develop severe narcissism and enjoy flexing muscles.]

[Dominance Scripture (Earth Grade Low): Easy to comprehend. Can enhance comprehension ability, but requires extremely long cultivation time. Most practitioners exhaust their lifespan before achieving enhanced comprehension.]

...

Chen Huaian stared at the three techniques in silence.

How to put this...

At first glance they all seemed good, but upon closer inspection each was more problematic than the last.

He definitely didn't want Wind Spirit Sect full of homosexuals, so the first technique was immediately out.

Tyrant Fist and Dominance Scripture could be practiced together—he even suspected they might originate from the same school.

As for the narcissism side effect... that wasn't really a big issue.

"You'll do!"

Chen Huaian exchanged for Tyrant Fist and Dominance Scripture.

These two Earth Grade Low techniques were quite cheap, costing only twenty Righteous Cultivator Shards and six Spirit Crystals total.

Li Zongsi was still fretting when suddenly he saw the deputy sect master produce two jade slips from nowhere.

"Here, try learning these two martial arts. If you can't even manage these, you might as well go back to farming!"

Li Zongsi carefully accepted Tyrant Fist and Dominance Scripture. After just a few glances, he became completely engrossed.
