Chapter 7: Discovering Techniques

Chapter 7: Discovering Techniques

“It seems the mission to kill a 100 War Hunchback Beasts is going to be fruitless.” He Yiming shook his head and sent a notification to all the players.

Ding!

【Friendly reminder: It is suggested that the players eat the War Hunchback Beast’s meat in the sect’s square if they are hungry and drink water from the well next to the Great Hall if thirsty.】

【If the players are experiencing fatigue (in-game), it is suggested that players find a place to rest!】

【The player will need to meditate to log out of the game.】

He Yiming turned around and prepared to go back to recuperate.

However, at this moment, a player excitedly shouted.

“Holy shit! Look at what I’ve found!” Beef Noodle excitedly rushed out of the library and brandished a jade slip.

There were three words engraved on the jade slip.

Accumulated Energy Kick.

Beef Noodle was killed three times in a row, and he had come to a realisation that if he continued to blindly charge forward, he would just be kicked to death again.

As a result, he searched around the entire sect and quickly found a building.

—

Library.

“Library? This description… There must be a cultivation technique inside!” Beef Noodle became excited and entered the library.

However, no one had come to the library for a hundred years. As a result, all the bookshelves were empty. But Beef Noodle wasn’t discouraged!!

He ran around and inspected every empty bookcase and eventually found something.

That was the jade slip called the ‘Accumulated Energy Kick’.

“There is still a cultivation technique in this ruin?” He Yiming was a little surprised when he heard Beef Noodle exult.

With how precious a cultivation technique was to this world. This ruined sect must’ve been ransacked by many powerful cultivators. Then how come they still left a cultivation technique behind?

However, when He Yiming saw the name on the jade slip, he immediately understood.

Accumulated Energy Kick.

This cultivation technique could not be considered a cultivation technique and utilised by cultivators. It was an ordinary martial manual.

To put it into perspective, it was a skill on how to gather all the strength in one’s body and unleash it through the ‘Accumulated Energy Kick’.

The reason for this was that most people would cry “Hy-yaa!” to maintain their rhythm, and release the gathered energy through the kick. It was also a technique which the poorest and the most abject of mortals were forced to practice. It belonged to a category of cultivation techniques that if it was thrown onto the street, not even the weakest among cultivators would pick it up. After all, this ‘Accumulated Energy Kick’ required the practitioner to remain still for a duration of an entire second before this skill could be used!

A delay of a single breath could be the determiner of life and death in the battle between cultivators.

Wouldn’t they be simply courting death by standing still accumulating strength mid-battle?

“This artifact is called a cultivation jade slip. You’ll have to press it onto your glabella for you to enter the Illusory Realm to cultivate,” He Yiming explained.

“Is that so?” Following He Yiming’s instructions, Beef Noodle placed the jade slip over his glabella and soon everything around him immediately disappeared.

He was in a dark space.

He saw a figure with a blurred face soaring to the sky. The figure then pulled back its right leg, bent it, and a powerful force began to gather around it before it ruthlessly kicked out!

This phantom repeated this action over and over again, just like a video tutorial.

“So It’s like this…” Beef Noodle studied it a few more times, before the time was up. He then withdrew from the Illusionary Realm.

“Brother, let me have a look too!”

“I finally have my first cultivation skill!”

“This is called a martial skill, you idiot!”

—

The other players took the jade slips and began to circulate them.

“Hy-yaa!” Beef Noodle jumped in the air, and with great finesse he accreted energy in his legs and flew out again! His actions were quite impressive.

“Wretched beast, I’m invincible!” Beef Noodle laughed excitedly after a few more stretches.

He Yiming was speechless.

Invincible?

If you return to your world, then it would be no problem for you to take care of a few punks.

But this is the world of cultivators!

With a wave of their hands, powerful cultivators could move mountains and fill the seas!

And you’re going to be invincible with just a kick?

What a joke!

He Yiming glanced at the excited players before he stopped looking at them all together.

They were all too caustic to look at!

This sect was originally a ruin, so He Yiming didn’t care about it either. He let the players explore it without placing any restrictions.

In any case, what if they manage to find some treasure in the end?

He Yiming returned to the Great Hall and found a corner to recuperate.

“With a martial skill, a mere War Hunchback beast is not an opponent that I cannot capture!” Beef Noodle gave a proud smile, and then excitedly ran down the mountain.

Many of the players were stunned, and then they all followed.

After all, this sect mission would reward 100 contribution points all at once!

Although the War Hunchback Beast was very strong, Beef Noodle had also learned the ‘Accumulated Energy Kick’, what if he managed to turn the situation?

There were still seven or eight followers around Star, and one among them asked.

“Brother Star, what should we do?”

“Let’s follow and take a look!”

Star couldn’t accept this either. He was a guild president who was invincible in so many games. But in the end, in this game, forget about the god beasts, he couldn’t even beat the monsters in the novice village?

If this news was to spread, would he still be able to survive?

As a result, Star glanced at Beef Noodle and followed him with a wave of his hand.

“Found a War Hunchback Beast!” Beef Noodle was very quick and soon found a War Hunchback Beast.

“Charge!” Beef Noodle roared and rushed forward.

“Accumulated Energy Kick!” Without any prelude, he directly jumped in the air.

“…” The War Hunchback Beast quietly looked at a Beef Noodle, unflinching at the incoming attack.

However, its gaze seemed as if it was patronising a fool.
