Cultivation—Stand above the Heaven Chapter 104

 "Is that what Star denotes to? Is he the previous Xu Yaoting I am familiar with?" Leng Yuecui wondered, following Wandong's moves with her eyes. A tinge of crimson spread out on her cheeks subconsciously.

"Wu Yang, stay concentrated!" Wandong let out a loud shout suddenly, with his branch sweeping in the air instead of pricking forth. His moves, compared to the version that Wu Yang knew inside and out, was less of variety but more of the mighty power of Star, appearing even more overwhelming.

Seeming to be immersed in the profound dimension created by Wandong, Wu Yang was struck awake by the shout. He hastened to respond, with a quiver running through his body, "Ah? Yes!"

Leng Yuecui had completely discarded the idea of throwing cold water on Wandong. She was concentrated on one thing only — mastering the spectacular swordsmanship. Otherwise, the rest of her life would only end up full of regret.

As a matter of fact, Wandong spent a whole day polishing the Star-Turmoil Techniques yesterday. He rebalanced the proportions of Star — perseverance that the Wus slighted, and Turmoil — the Wus excessively prioritized in the set of techniques. On the one hand, some gratuitous variations of the moves were taken out; on the other hand, those that could be transformed into deadly blows remained. He exerted quite a few efforts to restructure the Star-Turmoil Techniques.  

Wandong wouldn't have been able to make it without his terrific penetration acquired through the cultivation based on The Divine Formula of the Profound Heaven Perception as well as his acute observation for spiritual energy by dint of his solid Taoist energy.

Being ridden of the bells and whistles, the modified Star-Turmoil Techniques were more straight-forward and target-oriented. However, the prior inconspicuous moves were stressed with the essence of Star — steadfast strength brought out in full.

In this case, Turmoil helped build up the momentum, hypnotizing the opponents; Star demonstrated the power of the warrior, overwhelming the adversaries. With both taken into consideration, the Star-Turmoil Techniques are out-and-out invincible.

Right at the moment, a light crack went off, waking Wu Yang up from his absorption by the swordsmanship. Looking up, Wu Yang got slack-jawed — his branch just penetrated a trunk with a bowl-size cross-section. And it was even more surprising that the branch stayed in good condition.

The crack alerted Leng Yuecui as well. Looking back and witnessing the striking spectacle, she went thunder-struck as well.

"How could that happen? It was impossible that the silly brat had made such incredible progress in such a short while," Leng Yuecui shouted.

Wandong nodded with a smile. He didn't back the wrong horse — Wu Yang had quite a few endowments. Of course, his commendable swift progress had a lot to do with his existing familiarity with the Star-Turmoil Techniques.

In addition, after the restructuring process conducted by Wandong, Star— steadfast power played a bigger role in the purified Star-Turmoil Techniques. Hence relatively speaking, it was more suited for guys.

The only fly in the ointment was that Wu Yang's spiritual energy was still at the preliminary stage — the initial level. Or else, his performance of the Star-Turmoil Techniques would have ushered in stronger power.

For instance, Leng Yuecui's spiritual energy already reached the third level. Albeit less versed at the Star-Turmoil Techniques than Wu Yang, she was able to bring more force out of the swordsmanship when she put it to good use.

Speaking of being engaged in a battle with Wu Yue, there was no difficulty for Wu Yang to stick it out until the third move in his current status. However, when it came to defeating Wu Yue hands down, it still called for further efforts to make it that far.
