Chapter 599: Chapter 99 Green Bone

“So that’s how it is…”

Li Fei muttered to himself, recalling that sword strike that once dazzled heaven and earth.

Shi Caiming had just said that the vast majority of Martial Arts Masters can’t even reach the ‘Mysterious Realm’ level of Tao Power, yet Hao Yi’s final strike actually reached the ‘Creation’ level, which was truly shocking and outrageous!

He unconsciously gripped the hilt of his Ghost Slash Blade tighter, anger rising in his heart!

If that incident had never happened, what realm would Hao Yi, with his talent and intelligence, have reached by now?

Hao Yi began challenging the Martial Arts Master Realm before he was even 26. If it weren’t for the interference back then, he would have become an even younger Martial Arts Master than Ming Qi.

The title of the first in history should have belonged to Hao Yi long ago.

Plus, with his mastery in saber techniques, perhaps he could’ve already transcended to using the blade to reach enlightenment, and another Martial Saint would exist in this world!

But there are no ifs in life.

“Before your master comprehended the ‘Heaven and Earth One Strike,’ he deduced three forms of Tao Power on top of his foundation in the Sky Gang Sect. Start with these three forms of Tao Power, and later on, try to understand the ‘Heaven and Earth One Strike.'”

Shi Caiming glanced at Li Fei’s tightly held saber handle and spoke.

“Yes, I ask for the principal’s guidance.”

Li Fei saluted Shi Caiming.

Suddenly, it occurred to him that since Shi Caiming was so familiar with the techniques created by Hao Yi, it was likely that Hao Yi received his guidance while developing those techniques.

Maybe it was a collaborative creation between the two of them.

Images started to form in Li Fei’s mind:

Before becoming the chief of Wuda, Shi Caiming was already a renowned master in Feng Province, having instructed many students throughout the province.

Upon meeting Hao Yi and being amazed by his talent, out of a love for his abilities, he took the initiative to advise Hao Yi.

Hao Yi quickly reached the pinnacle of the Sky Gang Sect’s martial arts by virtue of his unparalleled talent.

Unwilling to be restricted, he began to create his own techniques.

Throughout this process, Shi Caiming’s meticulous guidance was indispensable.

It was because of this Great Grandmaster’s selfless teaching and counsel that Hao Yi was able to innovate and create three new forms of Tao Power.

Only then could he comprehend the ‘Heaven and Earth One Strike,’ a Tao Power of the Creation level.

Initially, Shi Caiming went out on a limb to protect Hao Yi’s life by standing firm against the powers of Datong Prefecture, all because, through their days together, they had developed a bond that was like, if not stronger than, that between master and apprentice.

Thinking about all this, Li Fei’s respect for the old man in front of him deepened.

“Let’s not rush the saber training; what you requested has arrived.”

Shi Caiming pointed behind Li Fei.

Li Fei turned around to see two instructors carrying a box up the mountain. They placed the box at Li Fei’s feet, saluted Shi Caiming and Li Fei, and then departed.

“The fourth Implant I’m going to integrate?”

Li Fei guessed what it was.

He opened the box at his feet, revealing a pale cyan liquid inside.

A white bone soaked in the liquid, emitting a subtle fragrance.

This was the fourth Implant that Li Fei needed to integrate for his ‘Mixed Element Heavenly Gold’—the ‘Green Bone.’

His third Implant was the Fire Attribute ‘Flame Core,’ wood generates fire, hence the fourth Implant he chose was the Wood Attribute ‘Green Bone,’ top-grade third-class.

The ‘steel armor’ initially integrated at the skin.

‘Ghostly Foot’ initially integrated into the flesh of the feet.

‘Flame Core’ initially integrated into the heart.

During the growth process of the Implants, Li Fei’s entire skin, flesh, and internal organs were successively and comprehensively enhanced.

Now, ready to integrate the ‘Green Bone,’ initially at the bones.

When the ‘Green Bone’ grows to the Qi Change Stage, all his bones will also undergo a comprehensive enhancement.

Skin, flesh, internal organs, and now bones, Li Fei’s entire body, from inside out, would be enhanced!

In doing so, Li Fei’s physique would reach a new level.

All his extraordinary abilities would also be reinforced!

Each foundation of martial arts has its wonders, and the ancient sages, when pairing the five Implants to construct the Tao Foundation, considered a ‘structural’ completeness.

Once Li Fei integrated the ‘Green Bone,’ the ‘structure’ of his body would be complete.

The greatest characteristic of the ‘Mixed Element Heavenly Gold’ Foundation is its tolerance and defensive power.

As the most challenging foundation to cultivate in the Sky Gang Sect, it can rival those of the very best Foundations in this era!

Ordinary Foundations would only undergo a significant transformation after integrating all five types of Implants, but ‘Mixed Element Heavenly Gold’ would undergo a transformation after integrating the fourth type.

After integrating the fifth type, there would be another transformation!

This is the strength of a top-notch Foundation.

The first transformation of ‘Mixed Element Heavenly Gold’ is manifested in its strong defensive power:

Muscles, bones, skin, flesh, and internal organs, after comprehensive enhancement, Li Fei’s first extraordinary ability ‘Overlord Body,’ would at least double in defensive strength!

Moreover, the ‘Green Bone’ Implant brings its extraordinary ability named ‘Jade Bone,’ which allows Li Fei to temporarily coat his entire skeleton with a special substance secreted by the Implant.

This substance could make the bones extremely sturdy and interconnected, sharing force across the entire skeleton; when one part is under stress, all bones would share the load.

The human body’s load-bearing limit largely depends on the strength of the skeleton; when the bones can withstand more force, the body’s load-bearing limit naturally increases.

With this ability paired with ‘Overlord Body,’ Li Fei could yet further enhance his defense!

For Li Fei, an increase in his body’s load-bearing limit meant not only an increase in defense but also an increase in attack power.

Because he had “Blood Rage”.

The thing that had always limited the peak of “Blood Rage” was the ultimate bearing capacity of his body. When this limit was substantially increased, the peak of “Blood Rage” would also rise along with it.

Therefore, for Li Fei, “Green Bone” as an Implant was of different significance compared to the previous three Implants.

This would mark another leap in his strength!

Li Fei directly took the white bone out of the liquid and stood it up in his palm.

Then he mobilized Mixed Element Vajra Force to wrap around the bone completely.

Soon, the bone began to melt at a speed visible to the naked eye and blend into his palm.

Gradually, Li Fei felt a warm liquid spreading from the bones in his hand, quickly enveloping his entire right arm.

Eventually, this growth stopped at his right arm, which was the limit for the “Green Bone” during the Embryo Cultivation Stage.

Next, Li Fei would gradually cultivate the “Green Bone,” which would slowly encase all his skeletal structure.

With Li Fei’s pace of cultivation, it would take at most a month for him to cultivate “Green Bone” up to the Qi Change Stage!

“Mixed Element Heavenly Gold…”

Shi Caiming watched as Li Fei completed the absorption of the “Green Bone”, “With this step, your Tao Foundation can be considered as entering a new phase. Your master also wanted to cultivate this Tao Foundation back in the day, but there was no access to a top-grade Second-Class ‘steel armor’ at the time, so he had to settle for the ‘Steel Core’.”

Li Fei only then understood that Hao Yi did not cultivate “Mixed Element Heavenly Gold” due to a lack of resources.

On his journey, he had almost never run short of resources.

But in fact, during Hao Yi’s era, there were no universities, and the threshold for entry into Martial Arts Halls was far higher than now, making them inaccessible to ordinary civilians.

The resources Hao Yi had access to were far less than Li Fei’s.

Thinking this, Li Fei felt even more regret for Hao Yi.

In the following time, he followed Shi Caiming to learn Saber Technique.

Including the “Fire Tree Silver Flower Never Night Sky” he had seen, he learned three kinds of Tao Power…

Only by evening did Li Fei descend the mountain to leave, and he joined Li Tianyu for dinner.

After dinner, Li Fei walked out of Wuda on his own.

His figure flitted through the shadows like a spectral ghost, and with a mere thought, he executed the “One Leaf Covering Eyes Technique”.

He expertly made a few turns in the streets and alleys, and after ensuring no one was following him, Li Fei headed in a certain direction.

Fifteen minutes later, he arrived outside of Green-faced Manor.

Now, he was dressed in a black robe and donned the long-missed Evil Ghost Mask.

The Green-faced Ghost King was finally ‘online’ again.

Li Fei had left Datong Prefecture in August last year to participate in a competition, and it was not until now that he had returned.

During these months, Li Fei had been remotely managing the ‘kingdom’ he had established in Datong Prefecture.

Such a long absence naturally bred various thoughts among his subordinates.

Moreover, although Li Fei had unified the World of Datong Prefecture, his foundations were still too weak and he had too few experts under his command to hold such a vast territory securely.

As the Green-faced Ghost King had long been absent, the undercurrents of Datong Prefecture’s underworld had been swirling for a while.

Inside Green-faced Manor, a meeting was being convened that night.

Or rather—it was time to speak of underworld politics.

Outside an area of villas, hundreds of underlings stood clearly separated into groups.

Almost every one of them had a gun in hand!

Several gangs confronted each other, the atmosphere was tense.

Inside the villa, on the first floor in the grand hall, the setting was lavish and glittering.

Six people sat down, divided into two sides.

On the left, the three people were the chief steward of Green-faced Manor, one of the ‘Three Warriors’ left by the former ‘Beast King’ Yu Longqing, Yang Zhe.

Another was a representative from Zhang Family of Datong Prefecture, the steward of the main house, Ma Le.

As allies of the Green-faced Ghost King, the Zhang Family attended this evening’s political discussion.

The last representative of the Green-faced Ghost King’s power, sitting in the central position, was a woman with short hair who looked full of valor, Zhao Yi.

Before leaving Datong Prefecture, Li Fei had arranged for Zhao Yi to work at Green-faced Manor.

He didn’t fully trust Yang Zhe, who had surrendered, so he ‘promoted’ Zhao Yi to act as the public face of the Green-faced Ghost King.

Therefore, at tonight’s discussion, Zhao Yi took the central seat.

Opposite the three were three men of distinct dispositions.

These men represented the three most influential forces in Datong Prefecture’s World aside from the Green-faced Ghost King:

The Chief of Mingqi City, who controlled both the legal and illegal aspects.

The Bai Family of Baiyang City, which could cover the sky with one hand.

A 新 emerging gang in Datong Prefecture City, the Ghost Slayer Gang.

Tonight, all three forces had sent representatives to negotiate with Green-faced Manor to redefine their spheres of influence.

“Marquis Jing’an has just arrived in Datong Prefecture today, and you all chose tonight to come to Green-faced Manor for politics—quite the daring move,” said Yang Zhe in a chuckling tone, appearing amiable.
