Chapter 13 Different Forms of Force
So, in the days that followed, Chen Yuan began a bloodbath in this county-level city of 0247 in order to hone his Swift Wind Sword Technique. Whether they were solitary monsters or herds of beasts, once he discovered them, none could escape the fate of becoming victims of his sword.
Moreover, Chen Yuan kills without regard to day or night. When he is hungry, he eats monster meat. When he feels tired, he finds a safe place to enter a deep sleep, which not only restores his energy but also allows him to absorb cosmic energy for cultivation, achieving two goals at once.
Five days and five nights passed, and Chen Yuan had swept through most of the city, killing more than two thousand monsters with his sword.
But this doesn't mean Chen Yuan can only kill that many. Rather, as he kills more and more monsters, the stench of blood on his body becomes stronger and stronger, and many monsters can smell this dangerous aura from a great distance.
Many monsters are intelligent, and when they sensed the approach of this "God of Slaughter," they all fled. The monsters that stayed behind and were found by Chen Yuan were either poor in their perception or confident in their own strength.
However, no matter what kind of monster it is, as long as it encounters Chen Yuan, there is only one ending—it becomes a killing point in his hands and a stepping stone on his path of cultivation.
Of course, this is also partly because County-level City 0247 is not very large. The monsters that live there are mostly of the 'Beast Soldier' class, and those that can become high-level Beast Soldiers are already considered top-tier here. However, even these elites are powerless against Chen Yuan.
Another morning dawned, and after waking from a deep sleep, Chen Yuan didn't immediately search for the monster's tracks. Instead, he first opened the panel to check the data that interested him:
Strength: 4712.77kg
Speed: 102 m/s
Hibernation Technique - Crystal Meditation: Cultivation-type secret technique, rating B, current progress: Proficient (25.67%)
Gale Sword Technique: Combat-type secret technique, rating: Ultimate, current progress: Proficient (4.65%)
Technique: Subtlety (Atmosphere)
Power Level: 2
Kill Points: 8004
Looking at these data, Chen Yuan smiled: "As expected, after last night's fierce battle with the beast horde, the Gale Sword Technique has finally broken through to the proficiency level."
With a casual swing of his sword, Chen Yuan clearly felt that his sword speed had increased by another 30%.
"With a 30% increase in sword speed, movement speed should also see a similar increase. If we also factor in the bonus from the power level..." Chen Yuan quickly calculated in his mind, "Theoretically, it should reach 198 meters per second, but that's the theoretical limit. In reality, it shouldn't be that high, but it should still reach 180 meters per second."
This speed is quite astonishing. Keep in mind that Chen Yuan is currently only a high-level warrior, and the standard speed for a high-level warrior is only 60 meters per second.
A speed of 180 meters per second surpasses that of a mid-level warrior! This is the qualitative change brought about by mastering the exertion of power and the essence of the art.
Just as a planetary-level expert who masters a domain can be called invincible among his peers, Chen Yuan, at the level of an advanced warrior, has mastered the power of intent ahead of time, and can also be called invincible among his peers!
"But speaking of exerting force..." Chen Yuan frowned slightly as he looked at the 2-point exertion level on the panel, a question rising in his mind: "According to the description in the original work, it should be similar to the method of stacking hidden strength, just like the Thunder Blade, where each layer adds 0.7 times the strength, thereby increasing the force multiplier."
This is precisely what puzzled Chen Yuan. After several days of intense training, thanks to the experience gained from the Spirit Wind Sword Technique, his proficiency with the Gale Sword Technique improved rapidly, and he has now mastered the technique of doubling the power.
However, Chen Yuan was puzzled because the power generation techniques recorded in the Gale Sword Technique were completely different from what he had seen in the original work.
Unlike the original work, which uses "layering hidden strength" to increase the power multiplier, the core of the Gale Sword Technique is to achieve a deeper level of control over the body.
In other words, it involves activating and controlling muscle groups in the body that are normally difficult to mobilize by practicing swordsmanship. When a sword is swung, more muscles work together to generate greater power.
This is a completely different approach from the techniques mentioned in the original work: one is to accumulate power through techniques, and the other is to tap into potential by controlling the body.
"However, I remember it mentioned in the original work that when Thor came into contact with the martial arts manual of Meteorite Star, he lamented that he was 'wrong.'" Chen Yuan recalled the content of the original work, and a thought suddenly occurred to him, "Could it be that the approach of using techniques to accumulate internal force is actually wrong? The true way to generate power should be to improve control over the body?"
Just then, a flash of inspiration struck Chen Yuan, and a look of understanding appeared in his eyes: "That's right! Although it wasn't explicitly mentioned in Swallowed Star, the original author did mention a similar concept in his later novels."
He recalled another book by Tomato, "Cosmic Professional Athlete," and thought to himself, "It also features a space-based martial arts theme, but the control of power in that book isn't about layering internal energy; it's about controlling the physical body, sensing the body's cells through a powerful consciousness, and then using that control to gain even greater power!"
A glimpse of a spot reveals the whole leopard!
Although the two books have completely different worldviews, some core concepts may be common.
"If my guess is correct," Chen Yuan pondered, "the true direction of power generation techniques in this world should be the control of the physical body. As for the technique of layering internal energy, it might be used as a secret combat method, but it is not the proper path for martial artists."
In other words, this Gale Sword Technique, which was optimized through the system, is likely on the right track in terms of power generation techniques.
"However, it's also because I have too little information about this that the system can only optimize the power output by 5 times," Chen Yuan thought to himself. "Unless I can obtain more information about power output techniques and optimize it again, it's possible to increase the power output limit of the Gale Sword Technique."
He quickly thought of a place.
"Ancient Civilization Relic No. 9!" Chen Yuan's eyes lit up. "Luo Feng obtained the basic secret techniques of mental mastery from it, and as a martial artist, I am very likely to obtain the basic secret techniques of martial artist. It must contain detailed information about power generation."
This thought made the goal of exploring the ruins of Civilization No. 9 even more important to Chen Yuan. He secretly decided that once he broke through to the "God of War" level, he must find a way to enter there.
"However, I don't need to worry about these things until I reach the God of War level. After all, the five times power of the Gale Sword Technique is enough to make me invincible below the planetary level."
"My next goal is to continue honing my swordsmanship and improving my strength." Chen Yuan packed his backpack, picked up the Flowing Light Battle Sword, and walked out of the temporary shelter.
His gaze was fixed on the southeastern part of the city, which was also the only place where Chen Yuan had suffered a loss in the past few days.
"Before I leave, let's settle things once and for all," Chen Yuan thought to himself, gripping his sword tightly as he strode towards the southeast.
About half an hour later, Chen Yuan arrived at his destination. He stood on a high place, looking into the distance and observing the scene ahead.
It seemed to have originally been a manor or ranch, with an open meadow in front and many trees planted along the edges.
Today, this place is occupied by a pack of Lion Mastiffs, which are notorious pack animals in the wilderness and are far more famous than their close relatives, the Tiger Mastiffs.
Chen Yuan had explored this place before, but was forced to flee by the more than one hundred mastiffs in the manor.
Of course, what allowed Chen Yuan to escape was not the number of those mastiffs, but the strength of their leader.
Mid-level Beast General!
