Chapter 201 Lesser Asura Killing Fist (Please subscribe and vote!)
To break free from this illusion, one must remain steadfast in one's resolve, undisturbed by external influences, and persistently pursue one's ultimate goal; then one should be able to successfully overcome it.
This is the perfect place to test one's moral character.
The line of prisoners accelerated forward, and Wang Yu finally saw the end of the line.
A long table, a general wearing a red-tasseled helmet, and two soldiers distributing weapons.
Wang Yu narrowed his eyes.
He seemed destined to become cannon fodder, one of the first prisoners to deplete the enemy's military strength... which meant the city was facing a war.
He couldn't help but recall the mountains of corpses and seas of blood he had witnessed when he first came into contact with the shackles.
They were definitely not on the same battlefield, but their nature was similar.
"If you survive by following the rules, you should be able to break through the illusion."
"Or... break the rules!"
After sensing the power within his body, Wang Yu fell silent. He seemed to have become an ordinary person again, with no power within him, which had nothing to do with the shackles around his neck.
He was just an ordinary adult male in the mental illusion, and this war was just a killing field between mortals.
As cannon fodder, the weapon he was given was just a rusty, mottled spear with spider webs stuck to the tip and shaft.
Without any dialogue or communication, he was driven forward by the situation, the prisoners around him trembling, fear gripping their hearts.
"Is it only possible to survive on the battlefield by relying on mortal skills...?"
There wasn't much Wang Yu could do; he could only try to make his weapon as sharp as possible by polishing it directly on the bluestone ground.
Two hours later.
Night falls.
The cooks brought several buckets of thin porridge to feed the hundreds of prisoners in this simple barracks.
But just as the distribution began, the sound of drums shook the heavens, and an unexpected night raid began. In this battle, these prisoner soldiers did not go up to the city wall.
Instead, they continuously demolished houses within the city, sending stones and timber to the city walls, which could then be used as defensive resources.
Wang Yu felt the fatigue of backache and sore waist that he hadn't experienced in a long time.
The battle to defend the city.
Arrows and rockets were launched in from time to time, and shouts of battle were heard everywhere. They were almost touching the wall, but they remained calm and orderly.
The supervisory team scrutinized everyone, while hundreds of heavily armored cavalrymen stood in formation at the city gate, ready to leave the city at any moment and deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.
As darkness receded, the first rays of dawn appeared.
At daybreak, the city gates were suddenly flung open, and the cavalry charged off, never to return for a long time.
Wang Yu and the others had just lain down when they were kicked awake again.
This time... we're going to have a field battle outside the city!
…………
…………
"Hmm—"
As expected, after being forcibly thrown onto the battlefield, even with his rich combat experience, Wang Yu found it difficult to dominate the battlefield with his mortal body.
Especially when surrounded by incompetent teammates, those who are unreliable, dizzy, and might even stab you in the butt, he wants to kill them all.
They can't retreat, and they can't break through.
Without even a piece of armor, they would fall like wheat before even reaching the enemy's lines, and even if they finally engaged in close combat, they would crumble at the first touch.
However, it still has a strong strategic role, depleting the enemy's military equipment and physical strength, and if you're lucky, it can even disrupt the enemy's battle formation.
Wang Yu killed twelve people before being impaled in the upper body by four spears and beaten to death.
When I opened my eyes, I was still reeling from the pain.
He then rejoined the prisoner queue, went through the process once more, and gained a deeper understanding of this mental illusion.
"Should we defeat the enemy...?"
Clenching his fist, Wang Yu took the initiative this time, secretly sneaking onto the city wall to observe the enemy's situation, and even beat the drum in advance.
This time, the siege ended even faster.
Even the heavily armored cavalry that was about to charge out were prevented from attacking because he deliberately damaged the noose, thus increasing the advantage of our forces!
The battle resumed the following day.
This time, he hid in the most controllable position the supervisory team could, using his teammates' bodies to block the attack as much as possible. He survived for a long time and killed fifty-four enemy soldiers.
And then... he died!
The third cycle of illusion.
Wang Yu rubbed his head and sighed helplessly: "The enemy has sharpshooters, so we can't stand out too much."
As for contacting the city's high-ranking garrison commanders, forget about it; they can't even find anyone.
This time he was even more cautious, rarely making a move unless absolutely necessary. But by the time most of the prisoners were dead, his allies had begun to advance, leaving Wang Yu nowhere to hide.
Four times, five times... eight times, Wang Yu became obsessed with this war, and his killing skills began to improve.
Meanwhile, in the outside world.
With each cycle of reincarnation, Wang Yu's true form would take a step forward, and this dark and long passage would require at least a thousand steps to get out.
In the mental illusion, Wang Yu was trapped in a killing field. He was not worried or annoyed, but regarded it as a trial. As long as he passed it, he would be able to improve his state of mind.
Even if he ultimately doesn't make it through, he has a way to force himself to wake up.
In the ninth cycle, Wang Yu's weapons frequently broke, forcing him to rely on his bare fists to kill enemies, which made it even more difficult, as it was hard to kill an armored soldier with a single punch.
Or rather, it would be impossible for an ordinary person to do that.
On the tenth time, he began to loot the enemy's best equipment.
The fifteenth time, after five unrepentant attempts, each time he used the enemy's weapon, it would still break. This made him realize that some rule of the illusion was at work.
He was forbidden from using weapons, so he could only try to make his fists harder.
Twenty times... thirty times... Wang Yu, who had lost count of how many enemies he had killed and had even devised his own set of battlefield boxing techniques, finally opened the placement menu.
He's quitting the game; he's going to cheat!
A new placement option caught his attention for a moment.
【Battlefield Fist Techniques (Placeable/Mini Asura Killing Fist)】
"This is……"
Wang Yu cleared the space for the corpse refining technique and instantly understood everything.
The so-called Battlefield Killing Fist was not something he had comprehended at all, but rather a powerful killing intent existing in this illusion, which should have been left behind by the sword cultivators of the Immortal Dynasty.
After many cycles.
The more people he kills, the more information is transmitted, making it easy for him to develop the illusion that he has figured it out himself. Wang Yu's expression turned strange.
"well--
"Is it a minor branch of the 'Asura Killing Bible'?"
Before he could finish his reflection, the placement bar took effect.
Almost every second, he could feel a pure killing intent surging into his heart, just like before, without any side effects.
It was as if he had forged his own killing intent, pure and powerful, perfectly matching everything about him—it was something he had created himself! Wang Yu was certain of it!
[Placement Slot 3: Lesser Asura Killing Fist (Divine Power/Mental Strength/Spirit Refining)]
"Little Asura Killing Fist (0/100): 86,400 repetitions per day, perfected in 20 years."
Wang Yu was startled.
This was the first magical boxing technique he had ever encountered, one that could be practiced in a second without any physical movement. Everything was done in the mental world, and it was a kind of supernatural power!
Moreover, he only needed twenty years to achieve perfection, so he had to focus on the terrifying number of practice sessions; it was just too bizarre.
Moreover, insights are constantly flowing into my mind.
A message appeared automatically.
[The Lesser Asura Killing Fist is the first dual-path divine power created by the ancient immortal dynasty's powerful figure, "Asura Venerable," by fusing mental strength and spiritual refinement, using the Asura Killing Intent as its seed.]
This is a seed.
The mainstream cultivation method in the cultivation world today seems to have been called the "Path of Spirit Refinement" in the ancient times of this world.
Although it is not a proper method of spiritual cultivation, it contains half of it and is also a kind of offensive supernatural power!
In fact, it has a similar effect to the Yin Nether Eye. Cultivating this supernatural power can also enhance one's mental strength and even allow one to master the mysterious intent of Asura Killing Intent.
One punch would probably scare the target so much they'd lose control of their bladder.
Wang Yuyuan calls it—"The Society's Death Fist: Urine and Excrement Flow Together."
"Dirty...it's so damn dirty! I love it!!!"
Finding a rare item while scavenging is a stroke of luck. After all, those who can break through illusions probably aren't as leisurely as Wang Yu; they'd actually be fighting inside.
Even if things go wrong after a few cycles and they find it's useless, they'll use their trump card to break through.
Wang Yu arrived at the perfect time, with no competitors.
Naturally, he took his time, focusing on experience and training. In addition, his comprehension was decent, and he grasped the basics, quickly acquiring them directly through the placement bar.
After comprehending this rare supernatural power, he lacked the magical power to wield it, so his use of true essence was somewhat lacking. Only the killing intent that had almost solidified into a tangible form was truly intimidating.
Currently, its power is not as great as the Xuan Yin Hand, but if left untouched for a while, or even until it reaches its perfect state, it should be able to unleash some of its true power with its unparalleled mastery.
With Wang Yu having grasped this secret, the illusion of the mind was officially broken.
When Wang Yu opened his eyes again, he found himself only thirty steps away from the entrance, which matched the number of times he had reincarnated. The restriction patterns on the walls of the passage gradually faded.
As if he had lost his source of power, Wang Yu had a thought and took out the stone book from his bosom.
This time, the murderous intent of Asura, condensed into red mist, truly seeped out from the walls and poured into the stone book.
Not long after.
All the strange phenomena disappeared, and when he looked at it again...
He lit up pages seven through fourteen. Although he didn't recognize the text, he was certain that it contained the "Little Asura Killing Fist" and even some additional information.
Wang Yu imprinted it into his mind, memorizing the appearance of each character, and then reopened the placement bar, his smile instantly becoming more genuine.
"Sure enough, it is. I don't understand it, but I can understand the placement bar."
He used the same bug exploit back in Xuan Gu Mountain!
The Soul Devouring Evil Armor Technique was forcibly placed, and it's the same now.
After the temporary replacement, there are two types of items that can be placed.
[Placement Slot 4: Killing Intent Sword (Mental Power Secret Technique/No Rank)]
"Killing Intent Sword (100/100): There's nothing more to it."
This is a secret technique that uses "Asura Killing Intent," similar to a skill. Once you know it, you will master it perfectly, much like the instinctive mental movement of a human throwing a punch.
The stronger the murderous intent cultivated, the greater its power, with no upper limit.
Just like how the stronger Wang Yu's physique, the stronger his punches, the two are the same concept and not something complicated.
And the second one—
This is quite interesting, and it reminds Wang Yu of Jin Miaoshan.
