Supreme Martial Arts: Unlock Boundless Power!

Chapter 69

Zhōu Yí's light-footwork was nothing extraordinary, but the strength of his internal energy was formidable. Even if we consider the entire Taicang County, he could easily rank in the top three. Therefore, once he unleashed his speed, he surpassed the average steed by far.

Instead of immediately returning to Zhou Family Village, he made his way to the county town and settled in a large courtyard of an inn after changing his appearance. Since he still had a few large gold ingots in his possession, it would be regrettable for a person of his age not to spend some of that money, even if it meant showing off a little. So, taking advantage of this opportunity to pose as a wealthy guest seemed justifiable.

Although Taicang County was not particularly affluent, let alone compared to the entire Tianluo Kingdom, it didn't even rank high among the Linlang Prefecture. However, the county town was still the center of the county.

Even in the poorest places, there would always be a few wealthy and powerful individuals. Among the several inns in the county town, there were a couple of high-class establishments, and the place where Zhou Yi was currently staying happened to be one of them.

In a tranquil room, Zhou Yi opened the transcribed secret manual in his hands. He silently read through it, occasionally furrowing his brows as he pondered. Some things were previously unclear to him, but ever since he reached the pinnacle of the tenth layer of internal energy, his understanding of internal energy had taken another step forward.

Now, he compared his contemplations with the profound top-level internal energy cultivation method described in the manual, and suddenly, a realization dawned upon him.

Compared to the Fiery Blaze Technique, the cultivation difficulty of the Withered Wood Technique seemed to be even more challenging. Withered wood, just by the name alone, made the function and characteristics of this technique more distinct.

Once practitioners mastered this technique and achieved notable progress, they would gradually resemble pieces of wood. This transformation not only pertained to their personalities but was said to extend to their physical development as well.

Upon reading this passage, even Zhou Yi couldn't help but hesitate.

he Naturally reserved in character, even after reaching the pinnacle of the tenth layer of internal energy, he never boasted or sought attention from the world.

However, he was not a monk, and the idea of becoming like a piece of wood didn't align with his preferences.

As for the description in the book that the body would become increasingly lean and eventually resemble a tree trunk, he wasn't particularly concerned.

After all, his physique was unique, and he practiced multiple techniques simultaneously. Even if he deliberately attempted to transform his body into a wooden form, it would likely be difficult to maintain indefinitely.

Of course, despite the drawbacks of altering his personality and physique, there were also many benefits to cultivating the Withered Wood Technique.

Among all the techniques, wood-based techniques had the best healing effects. Once he mastered it, walking in the outside world would be like having a personal physician by his side, a physician who didn't require herbs but could heal most injuries.

When ordinary cultivators with modest abilities ventured out into the world, they would seek like-minded friends to accompany them. Among these friends, those who practiced wood-based techniques were undoubtedly the most popular. Furthermore, even in the midst of battle, practitioners of wood-based techniques often became the focus of protection for everyone.

Before facing complete annihilation, it was generally unnecessary for practitioners of wood-based techniques to step forward and fight desperately.

As one of the most advanced wood-based techniques, the Withered Wood Technique far surpassed ordinary wood-based techniques in terms of healing effects. Although Zhou Yi hadn't tried it yet, he knew that it wouldn't be exaggerated.
