Chen Jing spent the entire afternoon eagerly learning about "Shadow Cloak".
If it weren't for the fact that he was learning more and more characters and becoming more and more proficient, coupled with his experience and knowledge accumulated before his transmigration, he would have finished reading "Shadow Cloak" by evening.
The Shadow Cloak and the spiritual energy mode used to dive into the "Dark Sea" are completely different. Diving into the "Dark Sea" requires a combination of instinct and finesse, while using the Shadow Cloak requires no more effort than pulling up a hood.
But the spiritual energy it consumes is outrageous!
As soon as Chen Jinggang tried it, he realized that his physical realm level, the spiritual power of the half-step blood realm, could not be used more than a few times.
Using the Shadow Cloak once requires nearly 25 minutes of diving into the "Dark Sea," which is equivalent to 30 minutes of spiritual energy consumption!
The immense impact on Chen Jing's mind and spirit meant that he could only use Shadow Cloak once for a period of time. If he used it a second time without rest, Chen Jing suspected that even if his spiritual power was sufficient, his spirit would be crushed and he would faint directly.
The disappearance of the figure can last for about three to five seconds, without precise timing...
At the same time, the Shadow Cloak can only conceal one's physical form, but cannot conceal scent, sound, or other information.
The advantage is that during the duration of the invisibility, interactions with the outside world, including attacking and being attacked, will not cause the invisibility to end.
Well, diving into the "dark sea" is barely enough, but it adds a life-saving skill! Chen Jing thought about it from an optimistic perspective.
Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Jing bid farewell to his master.
"You've learned how to use a shadow puppet?" The expert glanced at Chen Jing, his expression unchanged.
He remained seated, as if he would not change no matter how the outside world changed.
"Hmm," Chen Jing said, "I want to learn the Deceptive Blade technique later, and I also want to learn throwing knife skills!"
The expert glanced at him and said:
"Why do you suddenly want to learn how to throw knives? You're not a combat cultivator; you don't have the talent to learn combat skills."
"Of course, it's to use the improved version of the Demon Blade, and to use the ranged attack mode of the 'Dark Sword.'" Chen Jing muttered to himself, but replied, "This disciple thinks he might use daggers a lot in the future, so he wants to learn."
Carrying light, short weapons would make entering the "Dark Sea" faster and easier—this was Chen Jing's experience.
“Come and spar with me once every afternoon. I won’t use any martial arts other than ‘point-time’ techniques. I will suppress your strength, speed, and perception to your level. If you beat me once, I will teach you how to use throwing knives,” the expert replied indifferently.
Chen Jing was taken aback for a moment before replying, "Okay!"
As expected, Master is definitely not a prodigy in the Body Realm; he is probably in the Blood Realm or the Core Realm.
He doesn't seem like someone at the Dan Realm. In descriptions of Dan Realm warriors, they're more like learned scholars than warriors...
No, it should be the style of a scholar-warrior! So handsome... just the kind I want... Chen Jing thought to himself.
Riding a horse, reciting poetry, carrying a sword, killing one person every ten steps, leaving no trace for a thousand miles—how dashing and carefree that would be!
Hmm, I need to summarize the experience from the previous battles and find a way to defeat my master.
We need to allocate more time to absorbing spiritual energy and reach the Blood Realm as soon as possible.
But I still don't know what mental cultivation method I should use to temper my character after reaching the Blood Realm... Next time I encounter someone from the Black Flag Mercenary Group, I'll see if I can subtly ask them for the answer.
He closed the door with great interest and went home.
The expert glanced at the closed door, looked at the martial arts manual that had been returned to him, and began to doubt himself.
Soon, the expert suppressed his unnecessary emotions and decided that after Chen Jing finished learning these martial arts, he would give him a manual that was incompatible with his spiritual energy attribute, so that he would know how difficult it was to learn martial arts, how absurd and terrifying it was to learn one a day, and so that he wouldn't be so arrogant...
Chen Jing is still in the Body Realm! And the worst martial arts are designed for the Blood Realm!
But will that really work? Won't it just make him even more arrogant?
After a moment's thought, the experts decided that beating him up during sparring was a better idea.
...
Most people tell me to learn to see things from a worldly perspective.
"I studied worldly perspectives diligently until dawn~" (Note 1)
Chen Jing walked alone on the street, silently humming a song in his heart that didn't belong to this world, in a language that didn't belong to this world, without humming it out loud.
He suddenly felt a strong urge to dive into the dark sea, sing this song loudly, and express the ease and joy in his heart.
But after thinking about it, Chen Jing decided against it, since he didn't know if singing loudly like that would cause the "invisibility" to disappear.
Not only because he had learned "Shadow Cloak" and, when combined with "Diving into the Dark Sea," had a quick way to escape danger, but also because the assassin who saw his face had escaped and wasn't caught on the spot, reducing the risk of him being exposed, Chen Jing felt a little lighter. The gloom in his heart dissipated further, and he suddenly felt much more relaxed.
Suddenly, Chen Jing had a thought and entered a meditative state, drifting in the mist. Strands of black spiritual energy gathered around him poured into him.
Those hardships, the spiritual energy flowing through the meridians, suddenly expanded into rivers, suddenly turned into small fish.
They flow and move.
Chen Jing, taking advantage of his relaxed mindset and previous accumulation, was about to step into the Blood Realm at this moment.
He knew the most sensible thing to do was to break through in front of his master, but now he felt that the opportunity had arrived and he didn't want to wait at all.
Drops converge into streams, streams into tributaries, and tributaries into rivers and oceans.
Among them, the spiritual energy controlled by Chen Jing transformed into fish, swimming in the rivers.
Qi and blood flow like a fish!
Chen Jing looked up and saw the source of darkness, and beneath that source, a Frankenstein's monster-like self.
