Chapter 167: Experiment (I)
Night fell.
Under the cover of the black fog internal force, Chen Yiming ran west for nearly 100 kilometers and arrived at a remote forest.
This was already the border of Anhui province. Because it was more than 100 kilometers away from the nearest city, mutant beasts could be seen searching for food everywhere in the forest.
A green snake was hiding in the grass. Suddenly, it felt a sense of impending doom. It stuck its head out of the grass and tried to escape.
“Bang!” A circular wave of air exploded in midair.
The airwaves spread out and happened to reach the green snake, causing its body to instantly explode into two.
The green snake was not able to figure out the source of the danger before it was killed by the aftershock of Chen Yiming’s sprint.
Chen Yiming did not notice the green snake that had died tragically. He chose a valley and leaped a few times to reach the peak of a nearby mountain.
In the afternoon, integrating the information left behind by his seniors in the library, Chen Yiming had continuously simulated the combination of the two concept diagrams in his mind.
In his spiritual world, the black fog was like a thin membrane that was firmly attached to the surface of the meteorite.
With the strong control of the figure in his mind, he finally obtained a new concept diagram that could barely be considered a fusion of the two internal forces.
Rather than truly fusing the two different types of internal forces into one, the new concept diagram depicted one part joined to the surface of the other. This would allow the strength-based internal force to have an additional concealment ability.
However, because there was no qualitative change through the fusion, the strength of his internal force was still the same as before.
The valley was silent, and only the rustling of leaves could be heard.
When the predators in the forest sensed the aura of a terrifying creature like Chen Yiming, they had already hidden themselves.
Chen Yiming stood at the top of the mountain and looked down at the entire valley.
He took a long breath, and a terrifying aura rose up from his body like a huge abyss opening up.
“Swish!”
A sword light slashed out, and the air shook as waves of invisible ripples spread out.
However, one did not see anything strange within his field of vision. It was as if it was just a facade, and only the sound of the air trembling could be heard.
In the next moment, “Boom!”
A stream in the valley suddenly broke apart for no apparent reason. Mud splashed in all directions, and a pit more than 20 meters in diameter appeared at the point of collision.
Chen Yiming frowned.
From the results of his first field experiment, the strength-based internal force seemed to be completely incompatible with the black fog internal force.
In a battle where there was not much difference in strength, the vibration in the air caused by the friction between the boulders and the air could not be hidden at all. This made the boulder’s concealment ability completely useless.
This could only be used to intimidate opponents who were weaker than him. However, he could just crush such opponents.
“The 12 inner courts are all under the Myriad Phenomena Sect, but they are also relatively independent. There’s no one in the sect who doesn’t know about the concealment ability of the black fog internal force. It’s definitely not realistic to rely on its concealment ability to sneak into the library of the other inner courts.
Although I only obtained a little experience regarding the internal force fusion this time, I’ll treat it as a foundation for the future.”
Chen Yiming comforted himself.
Suddenly, the image of a person carrying a huge glowing weapon in a game from his previous world appeared in his mind.
An invisible huge sword? A small figure holding a huge sword?
The length of the huge sword could reach about 100 meters. If it was completely invisible, it would look like one’s reach had increased by 100 meters.
If such an increase in reach was exposed to the opponent, with the high speed of the warrior realm, the huge sword would appear extremely cumbersome, so it would naturally be of little use.
However, if the opponent didn’t see it and was caught off guard, he might be struck repeatedly by Chen Yiming’s huge sword.
This way, with the strength of his internal force that far exceeded his opponent’s, his opponent might be beaten to a pulp.
Chen Yiming took a deep breath and clenched his right fist. An invisible sword appeared in his hand.
Immediately, a powerful aura that far exceeded the previous one spread out, causing the mutant beasts hiding in the valley to fall to the ground. Whether they lived or died was completely up to the heavens.
This was the finishing move of the strength-based internal force, combined with the concealment ability of the black fog internal force.
It was clearly just one person standing on the mountain top, but his right hand gave off a sense of oppression that seemed to cross any distance.
Fortunately, the internal force did not have much physical weight. Otherwise, if he really held a 100-meter-long sword, the mountain would have collapsed from the pressure.
He waved his right hand, and the air barrier 100 meters in front of him was instantly broken by the invisible sword.
“Boom!”
A mountain peak at the side suddenly suffered a violent impact.
The collision happened so suddenly that the mutant beasts hiding on the mountain peak did not understand what had happened. They fell to the bottom of the valley along with the shattered mountain peak.
In a few short moments, half of the mountain turned into debris, increasing the height of the entire valley floor by a few meters.
The stream and forest in the valley and more than a hundred mutant beasts were all buried under the debris, turning the terrain into a pile of rubble.
If a hunting team that often came to this valley to hunt came again, they would probably think that they had taken the wrong path and entered a different valley.
“This is a novel way of fighting in the dark night,” Chen Yiming said excitedly.
Other than the strength of one’s internal force, the biggest difference between one who had mastered the transformation of one’s internal force and an ordinary warrior was that one could use long-range internal force attacks.
The only disadvantage was that it consumed a lot of energy. Long-range internal force attacks were not like short-range attacks. They consumed the same amount of energy each time they were used.
Chen Yiming’s finishing move with the strength-based internal force, the 100-meter-long sword, coupled with the concealment ability of the black fog internal force, was equivalent to a short-range attack.
In terms of energy consumption, with the recovery speed of the Level-1 Undying Body talent, he could directly use his huge sword to attack in close combat. He only needed to restore the damaged parts so he did not need to worry about the energy consumption of the internal force.
It was completely different from the huge sword finishing move from before, where he needed nearly a minute to replenish his energy after each attack.
Suddenly, the image of him carrying a 100-meter-long sword and fighting his way into the Blue Cloud Sword Sect surfaced in his mind.
“Li Daoyi is at the third stage of the warrior realm. When we fought earlier, he didn’t treat me as a normal opponent at all.
Even if my invisible sword could easily withstand Li Daoyi’s normal attack, it is impossible for Li Daoyi not to have any hidden trump cards.
There’s no need to settle the score with Li Daoyi so quickly.”
Chen Yiming suppressed his urge to test it out.
This was just one simple experiment. He had only wanted to verify the effect of the combination of two different internal forces, but he did not expect to accidentally discover a new way of fighting in the dark.
He had gained quite a bit from this trip, which was not made in vain. His combat strength when fighting at night had increased by a definite amount.
Furthermore, he had gained a lot of inspiration from it. However, there were too few sword techniques that could allow him to master the transformation of his internal force at the moment. He only had the Mantis Snake Sword Technique and the Skyfall Sword Technique.
The reason was that other than the core cultivation techniques of the corresponding inner court in the Myriad Phenomena Sect, all the cultivation techniques in the library, including the three concept diagrams, required points to purchase.
