Free Web NovelChapter 51: Chapter 51: Red Fire Divine Skill
This particular Martial Art possessed a Flame Attribute.
When its techniques were executed, they burned like a scorching fire.
Fang Xing had experienced this firsthand during his previous fight.
It was fortunate that he cultivated the Longevity Technique, a top-level Inner Cultivation Method.
His Power was so abundant that he could rely on it to simply wear down the invading force.
Otherwise, if this Fiery Flame Force had entered his body, it would have caused him a considerable amount of harm.
Superior Martial Arts were truly extraordinary.
"One thousand points..."
Looking at the enhancement prompt before him, Fang Xing pondered for a moment.
Then, he decided to enhance it.
He didn’t have any Top Level Attack Skills yet.
At the Neutralizing Force realm, cultivating different Martial Arts resulted in vastly different levels of strength.
The Longevity Technique was a perfect example.
Without the powerful foundation of the Longevity Technique, he never could have so easily killed a Neutralizing Force Martial Artist.
Martial Arts Mastery, the strength of one’s Martial Arts, and one’s Inner Cultivation Method—all these factors had a huge impact on battles between those in the same realm.
One thousand Enhancement Points was not a major issue, given his current reserves.
He would still have enough Enhancement Points left for a period of Cultivation.
A crimson light swirled as Fang Xing quietly gazed at the Martial Arts Manual in his hands.
Soon, the crimson light dissipated. The enhancement was complete.
[A Superior Martial Art, Red Fire Fist, has been successfully enhanced. You have obtained a Top Level Martial Art, Red Fire Divine Skill.]
"Red Fire Divine Skill!"
Reading the enhancement notification, Fang Xing’s gaze sharpened.
Judging by the name alone, this Martial Art couldn’t be bad.
The gap between Top Level Martial Arts and Superior Martial Arts was immense.
Opening the Martial Arts Manual, Fang Xing began to read it carefully.
After reading it through once, he had a clear understanding of the Red Fire Divine Skill.
The Red Fire Divine Skill is divided into four Daos.
It is said to take three steps to master each one.
Initial Blue Flame: Upon mastery, one’s Power becomes a blue flame. True Qi can manifest as fire, easily incinerating grass and trees.
Middle Red Flame: Its might is even greater, capable of melting gold and smelting iron with ease.
Upon reaching this realm, both one’s Power and True Qi carry devastating destructive force.
A single wisp injected into an enemy can incinerate their flesh and bone, burning through their internal organs!
The following Dao is Cyan Flame. This realm is far more profound, touching upon the mind and soul. Its mastery allows one to condense a Primordial Spirit.
Reaching this level is a step on the path from the Extraordinary to the Saintly.
The final Dao is the Extreme Red Flame!
Even with his Comprehension, he could not yet fathom this step.
But one thing was certain: if he could master this Dao...
...his strength would reach an unimaginably terrifying level.
The Red Fire Divine Skill was an Attack-Defense Unity. Each of the four Daos contained powerful killing techniques.
At the same time, cultivating this technique could also stimulate the body’s potential, granting it powerful regenerative abilities.
This point was remarkably similar to the Longevity Technique.
The Longevity Technique also stimulated the body’s potential.
’This was a good trade.’
After finishing reading about the Red Fire Divine Skill, Fang Xing was very satisfied.
As long as he cultivated this skill, even if he only reached the Initial Dao Realm, his strength would increase dramatically.
He could cultivate it with the Longevity Technique as his foundation, using its power to manifest the characteristics of the Red Fire Divine Skill.
There was no need to cultivate it separately.
The greatest feature of the Longevity Technique was its all-encompassing compatibility!
Closing the Martial Arts Manual, Fang Xing tucked it securely inside his robes, then rose and walked out of the General Guard Room.
"Greetings, Lord Fang!"
"Good day, My Lord!"
...
As he stepped out of the General Guard Room, the Constables he encountered all bowed, their eyes filled with deep respect.
The major cleanup operation over the past few days had shown every Constable in the Government Office the methods of this new Chief Constable.
The methods of the Iron-blooded Yama meant that any force he targeted was doomed to annihilation.
In the hundred-year history of Qingshan County, no Chief Constable had ever possessed such methods.
He had almost single-handedly swept away all the criminal forces, large and small.
With the exception of the five major powers, Qingshan County was now more peaceful than it had ever been.
The fact that Fang Xing had the strength to kill a Neutralizing Force Martial Artist was now common knowledge.
Iron-blooded methods combined with iron-blooded strength—his title of "Iron-blooded Yama" was well-deserved!
"Lord Fang."
Just as he was about to step out of the County Yamen, a voice called out. Fang Xing stopped and looked back.
A young Constable hurried forward.
"This subordinate, Yang Xin, greets Lord Fang," the young Constable said, bowing respectfully.
’Yang Xin...’
Hearing the name, Fang Xing immediately remembered something.
If he remembered correctly, when he was competing for the position of Deputy Constable, one of his rivals was named Yang Xin.
But that was several months ago, and he had long since forgotten about it.
If not for the name, he wouldn’t have recognized the man at first glance. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Fang Xing sized him up. With his powerful Perception Ability and the foundation of his Longevity Technique, he could see through Yang Xin’s current strength with a single glance.
He was roughly at the Middle Stage of Bright Force.
Making a small step forward in just a few months showed that he had some talent.
"What is it?" Fang Xing asked, his expression neutral.
’Perhaps he had cared once, but now, he paid it no mind.’
"My Lord, I... I wish to apologize. Back then, this subordinate was ignorant and offended you. I beg for your forgiveness. If you have any orders in the future, this subordinate will give his all."
Yang Xin kept his head bowed, his expression tense. As he spoke, he couldn’t help but grip the hem of his clothes, sweat beading on his forehead.
Glancing at the nervous Yang Xin, Fang Xing said, "Just do your job well. I can let bygones be bygones."
With that, Fang Xing strode purposefully away from the County Yamen.
’He didn’t have the spare time to worry about such trivial matters.’
’It was just a minor conflict. Given his current strength and status, there was no need for him to act against one of his own subordinates.’
’If Yang Xin hadn’t shown up, he would have forgotten the man even existed.’
As his strength and status grew, his mindset was also imperceptibly changing.
’If someone was foolish enough to get in his way, he could just crush them casually.’
’Since the man was willing to humble himself and ask for forgiveness, he naturally didn’t mind.’
Cultivating one’s temperament was also a part of the Martial Dao.
He didn’t have time to waste on such trivialities.
"Haaa..."
Watching Fang Xing’s departing figure, Yang Xin subconsciously let out a breath of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
’It’s just as my uncle said. We’re not even on the same level anymore. I was just worrying for nothing.’
"I wonder if I’ll ever have the chance to catch up to him." Yang Xin clenched his fists, his eyes filled with intense longing.
Neutralizing Force. For him, this was a Dragon Gate he could only look up to.
’If I could enter the Neutralizing Force Realm, I’d probably wake up laughing from my dreams.’
Withdrawing his gaze, Yang Xin regained his composure.
’After this encounter, he understood in his heart that he would likely never be able to catch up to Lord Fang in his entire life.’
’With his current dazzling strength and status, Lord Fang’s future definitely wouldn’t be confined to this small corner of the world.’
...
After leaving the County Yamen, Fang Xing went to East City and bought some medicinal herbs.
They were supplementary materials for cultivating the Red Fire Divine Skill.
As a Top Level Martial Art, beginning the cultivation of the Red Fire Divine Skill was not so easy.
It required the assistance of supplementary materials to increase the chances of success.
After purchasing the materials, Fang Xing returned home.
In the kitchen, Fang Xing looked at the several ingredients before him, his gaze landing on one in particular.
Blazing Grass!
This was a medicinal herb that contained powerful, fiery properties.
Swallowing it felt like being burned alive. It stimulated one’s qi and blood, making them boil as if one were inside a furnace. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
And this was the main ingredient for cultivating the Red Fire Divine Skill.
A fifty-year-old Blazing Grass—this was the oldest one Fang Xing could find at the apothecary.
Looking at the fifty-year-old Blazing Grass, Fang Xing immediately chose to enhance it.
It consumed a full 100 Enhancement Points, even more than enhancing a Wild Ginseng of the same age.
A crimson light spread out. Soon, the Blazing Grass completed its transformation under the enhancement.
[A fifty-year-old Blazing Grass has been successfully enhanced. You have obtained a one-hundred-year-old Red Flame Grass.]
"Not bad."
Looking at the enhanced Red Flame Grass, Fang Xing was very satisfied.
Red Flame Grass was already considered a Treasure Medicine.
Treasure Medicines were rare. He had originally wanted to buy Red Flame Grass directly, but it wasn’t for sale, so he had to settle for the next best thing.
The medicinal properties and potency of Red Flame Grass were far superior to Blazing Grass, making it tremendously effective.
Next, Fang Xing proceeded to enhance all the other supplementary materials as well.
In total, he spent two hundred Enhancement Points.
Once the enhancements were complete, Fang Xing began to brew the medicinal herbs.
