This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 436 - 2 Ghostly Shadow Appears, Heading to Daluo_2

The room was very cramped, filled with various obstacles.

Li Fei continuously changed directions in the confined space, moving quickly, with his speed increasing so much that he eventually left a trail of afterimages!

At a certain moment, the afterimages he left behind became clearer and clearer until they were indistinguishable from the real person, even down to the detail of the sleeves and hair being tousled by the wind.

This was not something that could be caused by speed alone.

When Li Fei suddenly stopped moving, there was a total of seven 'Li Feis' in the room!

These seven Li Feis turned around and looked at each other with smiles on their faces.

In the end, six 'Li Feis' dissolved into wisps of ghostly light and disappeared.

These six 'Li Feis' were not illusions but Li Fei's core-level extraordinary ability—Ghostly Shadow!

In the process of using 'Divine Movement', Li Fei could release Earth Element Evil Qi through 'Ghostly Foot' and consume a certain amount of Qi-Blood and Mind Power. Finally, combined with 'Earth Qi' to form 'Shadow Clones', this was 'Ghostly Shadow'.

The 'Shadow Clones' formed by Ghostly Shadow looked just like the real person, and Li Fei could control these clones to move and even attack enemies.

The speed and strength of these 'Shadow Clones' depended on the intensity of Li Fei's own Qi-Blood and Mind Power and were also related to the concentration of 'Earth Qi' in the environment.

Besides, 'Shadow Clones' possessed a strong corrosive characteristic.

Li Fei took a step and used 'Ghostly Shadow' again.

Another 'Shadow Clone' identical to him was left in the original spot. freeweɓnøvel.com

He commanded this 'Shadow Clone' to throw a punch at himself.

Bang!

The fist hit Li Fei's chest, emitting a muffled sound.

Li Fei gauged the strength of the punch; it was roughly a third of his own body's strength.

This was without the boost of Force and without using 'Blood Rage'.

Li Fei then controlled the 'Shadow Clone' to move at full speed.

Swish—

The clone left a trail of afterimages in its original place.

Li Fei nodded.

This speed was quite good, almost equivalent to seventy percent of his body's speed when using Force and 'Divine Movement'!

Plus, with the corrosive characteristic, the 'Shadow Clone' was still rather impressive on the offensive.

And there was no limit to the number of 'Shadow Clones'; as long as Li Fei's Innate Qi, Qi-Blood, and Mind Power were sufficient, he could keep creating clones.

Li Fei carefully perceived this 'Shadow Clone', which contained his Qi-Blood, Mind Power, and Innate Qi.

If an opponent didn't have a perception-type core-level extraordinary ability or high-level Force that could enhance perception, like Green Jade Bright Moon Force, it would be hard to distinguish between real and fake.

Altogether, as long as it was used well, 'Ghostly Shadow' could indeed raise Li Fei's combat power by at least half a grade!

And 'Ghostly Shadow' wasn't just for combat.

Now, Li Fei had trained his 'Danger Perception' to the same level as 'Heart's Eye', meaning he could sense everything around him with Mind Power alone.

The 'Shadow Clones' created by 'Ghostly Shadow' also concentrated Li Fei's Mind Power, meaning if Li Fei could perfectly combine 'Danger Perception' with 'Ghostly Shadow', he could use Shadow Clones as his 'Scouts'.

"If I combine this with 'Blood Rage', 'Blood Slaughter', and other methods..."

The more Li Fei thought about it, the more he felt that 'Ghostly Shadow' was an ability well-suited to him, and there were many areas yet to explore!

After completing the deep activation of 'Ghostly Foot', Li Fei could begin considering integrating a third Implant.

The third Implant was Fire Attribute, because fire generates earth.

It was only after integrating a Fire Attribute Implant that Li Fei could truly master the 'Heaven and Earth One Strike' left to him by Hao Yi.

The third Implant required for 'Mixed Element Heavenly Gold' was called 'Flame Core', top-grade third-class, and it also came from the body of a very rare Exotic Beast, which Feng Province did not have.

Fortunately, Wuda had its support, and Shi Caiming had already ordered a 'Flame Core' from another province, which could arrive in Li Fei's hands in at most one month.

And for Li Fei to integrate the 'Flame Core', he first needed to unify 'Ghostly Foot'.

With his experience from the last time, he was fully confident that if he retreated to cultivate, he might not even need ten days to achieve 'Unity'!

"After I finish this task and complete the 'Unity' of 'Ghostly Foot', the 'Flame Core' should be almost in my hands."

Li Fei thought this way.

...

On August 18th, a group of people left Wuda and headed to the train station.

In this group were the executive director of Wuda's Zhi Ge Department of Academic Affairs, two Wuda professors, two teams of Wu'an guards, and one student.

The leader of this group was the student—Li Fei.

This group represented Wuda in talks with Daluo Sect for the second Martial Arts Exchange Competition.

"I've booked an entire train compartment, everyone can board without worry of being disturbed."

A scholarly-looking man wearing black-framed glasses spoke to Li Fei and the others.

His name was Ke Yan, the Executive Director of the Zhi Ge Department's Academic Affairs at Wuda.

Martial Arts experts could become high-ranking officials, but not all high-ranking officials were Martial Arts experts, because there always needed to be someone to handle various affairs.

Ke Yan was such a person.

At just thirty years old, to become the Executive Director of the Zhi Ge Department's Academic Affairs at Wuda at this age was to have a limitless future!

Most of the Imperial Officials in Datong Prefecture didn't have power and connections like his.

"Director Ke has worked hard."

Li Fei said to Ke Yan.

For this operation, although he was the leader on the surface, in reality, he needed Ke Yan's assistance for many matters; after all, he really wasn't familiar with them, and he didn't want to waste time dealing with trivial matters.

"It's my duty," Ke Yan said with a smile.

Facing a young man a decade younger than himself, he had managed his attitude from their first meeting up to now perfectly, neither groveling nor failing to give Li Fei face.

Out of habit for caution, before setting off, Li Fei made detailed inquiries about who he would be going with on this operation.

So, he had a certain understanding of everyone in the team.

Besides his existing identity, Ke Yan had another background as a distant nephew of the Garrison Commander, Bian Jingru.

The fact that Ke Yan could reach this position at such a young age certainly had something to do with Bian Jingru.

Wuda including Ke Yan in this team might also hint at Bian Jingru's influence.

"Probably wants Ke Yan to be on good terms with me."

This was Li Fei's speculation.

As for the other two professors, one was teaching Li Fei the "Integration of Five Elements Innate Qi", and the other was teaching "The Use of High-Order Gold Attribute Force".

Including these two was Li Fei's suggestion; he didn't want to interrupt his class time.

Moreover, after spending a month with these two professors, Li Fei was sure they were not the sort of people who cared much about fame and wealth; they probably wouldn't mind a student like himself being their team leader.

This way, he wouldn't offend anyone.

The group boarded the train to Ming Province and entered the compartment Ke Yan had reserved in advance.

The next part of their journey would take more than three days by train to reach Yidu Prefecture in Ming Province, swap trains, then another day or so to reach the area where the Daluo Sect was located.

While he was the leader, Li Fei continued acting as a student throughout the journey, seeking Ke Yan's and the two professors' opinions before making any decisions.

This approach made Ke Yan and the professors feel valued, and any initial reservations they had were let go, giving them an increasingly favorable view of Li Fei.

In such a harmonious atmosphere, on the morning of August 23rd, the group arrived at Daluo Town.

The town was at the base of the Daluo Sect's mountain.

Though it was called a town, it was actually more bustling than a city like Xing City.

Many of the Daluo Sect's supplies were purchased in Daluo Town because of its presence, the court had specially constructed a railway line leading directly to Daluo Town.

After Li Fei and the others left the train station, across the street, they saw a young Taoist priest wearing a blue Taoist robe and a hairpin, holding a wooden plaque and standing there.

The wooden plaque read:

"Wu'an University delegation, please look here."

Li Fei smiled slightly; the scene felt familiar.

"Let's go, let's head over."

Li Fei called out and walked across the street to the young Taoist priest:

"Hello, we are the delegation from Wu'an University."

The young Taoist priest looked at Li Fei and was taken aback.

Li Fei looked even younger than him!

"Welcome, everyone. Please follow me to the hotel in town to settle in. Once all delegations from the thirteen universities have arrived, we'll go together to the Daluo Sect."

The young Taoist priest said.

"Thirteen universities?"

Li Fei was a bit surprised upon hearing that.

So, that meant Hongyi University would also be sending people this time.
