Chapter 126: Two Rewards (II)

Chen Yiming traversed the lake’s surface and arrived at a small island in the center.

The island was very small, only 20 to 30 meters wide, and covered with weeds that came up to half the height of a person.

He randomly picked a larger rock and sat cross-legged on it.

He simply pieced together the concept diagram fragments had just obtained and placed them in front of him.

“I forgot to ask Mo Yanfei about the origins of this sword technique.”

A thought suddenly flashed across Chen Yiming’s mind.

He now had the concept diagram, but he was still lacking the accompanying sword technique. Even if he used a similar sword technique as a substitute, its power would be much weaker.

After all, cultivation techniques were created by the predecessors who had reached a higher realm. Chen Yiming’s swordsmanship talent was not at this level yet.

Chen Yiming took note of what he wanted to ask and tried to cultivate the concept diagram.

When he focused on the image of the concept diagram, the small figure in his spiritual world sat cross-legged with him.

At some point, the figure turned into threads that spread throughout the entire spiritual world.

Immediately after, the threads gradually started to move, and the image of a meteorite falling from the sky appeared in the air.

“This is a sword technique that focuses on the strength attribute.” Chen Yiming deduced from the concept diagram.

However, before he could study it carefully, the concept diagram began to change.

First, it gradually turned transparent and dissipated, returning to the scattered threads in the spiritual world. Then, the scene changed, and two meteors that were connected in a straight line appeared in the void.

The new concept picture kept shaking.

“Is it because it’s incomplete?” Chen Yiming thought to himself.

From the number of fragments and what he pieced together, it should be one complete concept diagram and most of another incomplete concept diagram.

Just as Chen Yiming thought that he was about to fail, some lines appeared out of thin air, filling in the gaps in the concept diagram. The new concept diagram started to stabilize.

Next, Chen Yiming tried to derive the third concept diagram from the two concept diagrams.

The scene of three meteors falling from the sky appeared in the air.

However, before the third meteorite could materialize, its image collapsed along with the entire concept diagram.

The spiritual world shook, and in the real world, Chen Yiming felt a hint of dizziness.

“Could it be that my judgment was wrong? Is it that deducing the third picture from the first and second pictures is even more difficult than deducing the second picture from the first picture?” Chen Yiming thought to himself.

Inspiration flashed across his mind as he recalled his past cultivation experiences.

In the disciple realm, the third, sixth, and ninth transformations were usually the key bottlenecks in the path of cultivation.

From this, one could infer that the same was true for the concept diagrams.

“Oh right, there are still the three unripe fruits,” Chen Yiming suddenly thought to himself.

Since he had the recuperative ability from his Level-1 Undying Body talent, he was not concerned with whether the unripe fruit was edible. He took one out and ate it in one bite.

The fruit melted in his mouth and turned into a warm current that flowed through his body.

In his spiritual world, the scene of two meteors and one partially materialized meteor falling from the sky reappeared.

The partially materialized meteorite slowly became fully formed.

However, during the process of materializing, the entire scene kept shaking, as if it would collapse at any moment.

Seeing this, Chen Yiming ate the second fruit without hesitation.

The shaking scene immediately stabilized, and the materialization process continued.

The wait was extremely torturous. In the end, the third meteorite was completely materialized after much difficulty.

Before Chen Yiming could be happy about it, the scene started to shake again. He knew from experience that without external help, all his efforts would have been in vain.

Without hesitation, he ate the last fruit.

Since he had done everything he could, Chen Yiming closed his eyes and let his thoughts wander. He left everything to the figure in the spiritual world.

Chen Yiming let out a long breath.

After letting out this breath, a blessed feeling appeared in his heart.

His eyes lit up as he turned his attention back to the spiritual world.

At this moment, the three concept diagrams had fused together to form a brand new concept diagram.

Three meteors fell from the sky and formed various shapes, including straight lines, triangles, and arcs.

In an instant, he understood the true meaning of the transformation of internal force from the scene.

It was an indescribable concept. With his Level-2 swordsmanship talent, he immediately understood it.

In the real world, Chen Yiming’s eyes lit up as he sensed the changes in his internal force.

Comparing the new strength-based internal force to the lightning internal force, the difference in quantity was like the difference between a river and a stream. However, the lightning internal force was easily pushed aside.

He looked at a small mountain by the lake and could not help but soar into the sky. He leaped into the air and unleashed a blow with his strength-based internal force.

Just as the concept diagrams had shown, his internal force turned into a meteorite with a diameter of 20 meters and flew towards the mountain.

Unlike the ordinary internal force that continuously dissipated after leaving the body, the brown light from the meteorite did not weaken from the beginning to the end. The surrounding two to three kilometers were illuminated just like when the sun was setting.

“Boom!”

A loud bang drowned out the thunder in the sky.

The meteorite directly smashed through the small mountain that was more than 100 meters tall, revealing a large black hole.

However, it was not over yet. The meteorite collided with the layers of rock in the mountain, and shock waves began to spread out. The ground within a radius of a few kilometers began to shake.

A few seconds later, the entire mountain collapsed with a loud bang.

“Compared to Ren Pingsheng, this internal force is on a completely different level,” Chen Yiming said with a smile as he landed on the ground.

The meteorite he shot out had a diameter of 20 meters, while Ren Pingsheng’s golden net was only 10 meters wide.

With the enhancement from the Level-1 Undying Body talent, his internal force could be enhanced in all aspects. Overall, the power of the two sides differed by at least five to ten times.

With such a huge difference in strength, Ren Pingsheng could barely withstand a single blow from him.

Chen Yiming sat down cross-legged again. He couldn’t wait to replace all the internal force in his body with the strength-based internal force.

In the wooden house, Mo Yanfei witnessed the collapse of the mountain.

“This is too…” Once the words left her mouth, she didn’t know how to continue describing the rest of it.

When she married into the Yue clan, the Yue clan was still in the provincial city. She had also heard about the deeds of the geniuses from the large factions in the provincial city.

She knew very well that there were only two sword technique concept diagrams that were lost at the bottom of the pit.

Most martial artists needed six concept diagrams to complete the transformation of their internal force. This was the general consensus.

To be able to achieve this by relying on just three concept diagrams, one had to be an outstanding genius from a large faction in the provincial city.

She knew that after so many years, there would definitely be some damage to the concept diagram. In other words, the masked man had used less than two concept diagrams to complete the transformation of his internal force.

Such talent was unheard of even among the large factions in the provincial city.

“Why are you hesitating when there’s such a good opportunity?” Mo Yanfei’s face suddenly turned red. Her lips moved, but no sound came out.

After making her decision, she practiced the lines she would say later in her mind as she waited.

On the island in the center of the lake, Chen Yiming stood up, his brown internal force gradually dissipating from his body.

This time, it took him less than half an hour to successfully switch the lightning internal force to the strength-based internal force.

There was a qualitative difference between the two types of internal forces. The strong were stronger, and the weak were weaker. Therefore, the speed at which they were exchanged was more than twice as fast.

He looked up at the sky.

The storm showed no signs of letting up. Thunder continued to rumble.

Chen Yiming recalled what he had made a note of in his mind. His figure swayed and he stepped lightly on the surface of the lake a few times, and soon returned to the wooden house.

As soon as he pushed open the door, a burning hot body hugged him tightly.

Chen Yiming lowered his head to take a look.

Mo Yanfei’s clothes were half undone, and her face was completely red. She stammered as she spoke.

“That sword technique…” Chen Yiming clearly had a stronger interest in the sword technique.

However, before he could finish speaking, the beautiful woman silenced him with her red lips.

Chen Yiming had worked for many years in his previous life. He didn’t have much experience in this area, but he wasn’t a rookie either. How could he not understand what the other party’s intentions were?

Coupled with the fact that he had achieved success in martial arts in this life and had an 18-year-old body, if his entire body’s vital energy and blood was stimulated, ordinary people would feel that there was a burning furnace in front of them.

This beautiful woman, Mo Yanfei, was delivering herself to his door. To Chen Yiming, what she was asking for was nothing much at all.

It was not much different from spending money for it in his previous world. In any case, he did not need to take any responsibility.

Hence, Chen Yiming responded with even more vigorous actions.
