High Martial Arts: I Awaken a Low-Tier Martial System-Chapter 725 - 377: Three Types of Mysteries? Earthshift Technique (Double - )
Splish splash!
In Jiang Ye’s hand, the spear swept across, invoking the endless Mystery of Water.
In an instant, a considerable amount of the Mystery of Water gathered, forming a bright spear beam akin to a galaxy, slashing directly towards the golden guardian.
This move, Jiang Ye did not unleash with full power.
Only at the Seventh Break level.
It was not that Jiang Ye deliberately held back, but because he had to be cautious upon seeing the replica.
"Boom!"
"Swoosh~"
The spear, condensed with the Mystery of Water, effortlessly tore through all defenses of the golden guardian, piercing through!
Boom~ Its body exploded instantly, disintegrating into countless light particles.
Golden guardian, extinguished!
"Water overcomes fire; it is the law of heaven and earth." Jiang Ye’s lips curled into a faint smile.
Even by exerting less than one percent of his power, merely relying on the ability to counteract the elements, he was able to suppress such a formidable enemy.
This is the benefit of understanding the five Basic Mysteries.
All things exist in cycles of creation and destruction, and Jiang Ye already stands at the top of the counteraction chain.
"Oh?"
"The opportunity reward for the Fifth Layer is actually an Enlightenment treasure?" Jiang Ye’s eyes lit up: "And it’s at the Seventh Break level."
An Enlightenment treasure at the Seventh Break level is of no use to Jiang Ye.
Yet even in Black Obsidian City, it would certainly be considered a rare item, capable of selling for a good price.
The key!
If such treasures are found at the Fifth Layer, what about the layers beyond?
"Let’s continue." Jiang Ye’s eyes sparkled, continuing to charge towards higher layers.
...
Black Obsidian City.
Inside the pavilion.
"The youngsters are advancing through the tower quickly."
"In our Black Obsidian City, Mo Xin and Zhao Zishuang have been the fastest, having reached the Seventh Layer."
"Many have reached the Fifth Layer as well, like Zhao Chen and Bai Wei." Numerous elders watched the projected screen.
But at this moment.
"How can this be?" An exclamation suddenly arose.
In an instant, dozens of eyes all turned towards an old man carrying two swords on his back.
"Zhao Tiangang, what’s wrong?"
"Why the outburst?" A few demigods were somewhat displeased.
With their level of perception, none of the talents challenging this tower in Black Obsidian City had exceeded their expectations.
"It’s nothing."
"Just this young fellow, he surprised me a little." Zhao Tiangang pointed to the screen showing Jiang Ye, speaking with a laugh.
"You mean Wang Ye?"
"The Fifth Layer is quite impressive already, worthy of comparison with Zhao Chen and the others."
"In my view, he will at most stop at the Seventh Layer."
"Is that worth being surprised about?" The elders discussed amongst themselves.
Their vision is sharp and precise, and they won’t be mistaken in judgement.
"You all underestimate Wang Ye." Zhao Tiangang shook his head: "In my opinion, he might be unexpected to all."
The elders exchanged glances, their eyes showing confusion.
They all knew Zhao Tiangang’s character and wouldn’t speak idly.
"If this boy can reach the Eighth Layer or above."
A bald elder said: "He would indeed be a valuable talent; I, Yan Song, lay claim first."
Once he spoke, the other elders fell silent.
For no other reason!
This bald elder named ’Yan Song’ was a Fourth Tier Demigod, holding a high status among the thirty-six elders.
But at this moment.
"Elder Yan Song, I fear it might not be up to you." Zhao Tiangang spoke with a hint of smile.
"Oh?"
"Do you also intend to take him as a disciple?" The bald elder Yan Song looked at Zhao Tiangang.
"Not at all." Zhao Tiangang shook his head.
Yan Song looked puzzled.
"Words are pointless." Zhao Tiangang smiled: "Elder Yan Song, you will soon understand why."
"So mysterious." Yan Song glanced at him, then sneered: "Fine, this old man will see for himself what’s so peculiar about this boy."
...
Meanwhile.
In the void above the Black Tower.
"This Wang Ye?"
"Has he actually comprehended the Mystery of Water?" A strange look flashed in the eyes of the Black Obsidian City Lord.
As the City Lord of Black Obsidian City, he was all-knowing about the city’s happenings.
The day Jiang Ye fought in the banquet hall was widely circulated.
The Black Obsidian City Lord naturally knew of this matter as well.
"This Jiang Ye."
"Previously, he had already demonstrated the Mystery of Earth and the Mystery of Water." The Black Obsidian City Lord thought to himself, "And now, is he using the Mystery of Water again?"
"Has he comprehended the three Mysteries of Heaven and Earth?"
"This?" The Black Obsidian City Lord was full of shock in his heart.
Even from the perspective of a God, he found this matter inconceivable.
How old is Jiang Ye? Only twenty.
At twenty, to comprehend three Basic Mysteries?
It’s too exaggerated!
"Even when I was young, it took me nearly fifty years to comprehend the third mystery." The Black Obsidian City Lord thought to himself, "Does this Jiang Ye truly have such talent?"
"Is he really from a low-level tribe?"
The Black Obsidian City Lord became increasingly shaken.
Just as he was filled with wonder at this matter.
"Look, Zi Yaozhi has already reached the 9th Layer and is about to break through the tenth."
"Bai Xi and Zi Feng are also fast, soon to challenge the 9th Layer."
"Their speed in striking the tower is faster than the last time; perhaps they truly have a chance to reach the 14th Layer."
"Hmm, the others are far behind."
"Like Mo Xin from Black Obsidian City, he is still on the 7th Layer." The city lords exchanged words with one another.
Among them, the City Lord in the purple robe did not forget to belittle Black Obsidian City.
"Hmph."
"Damn Purple Obsidian." The Black Obsidian City Lord coldly snorted but didn’t pay much attention.
He turned his gaze back to Jiang Ye.
"This kid Jiang Ye, can he bring about a miracle?" The Black Obsidian City Lord pondered.
Involuntarily, he felt a glimmer of hope in his heart.
As long as Jiang Ye can break through to the tenth layer, then the top position of Black Obsidian City’s ancient city still has a chance to be preserved.
...
Inside the Black Tower, after Jiang Ye reached the 6th Layer, the difficulty suddenly increased.
Three golden figures appeared simultaneously in the hall... three gatekeepers!
Each one precisely replicated the strength Jiang Ye displayed in the previous stage.
This time, Jiang Ye didn’t employ any new mysterious techniques.
"If every time a replica appears, I use a new mysterious technique to counter it?" Jiang Ye thought to himself, "Then, after a few stages, the difficulty might skyrocket to an extreme level."
"I must suppress my strength and release it gradually." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
It sounds easy.
But in intense combat, intentionally suppressing one’s strength is not so easy.
Unless there is an absolute overwhelming advantage.
Luckily, Jiang Ye belonged to the latter.
"Kill!" Jiang Ye suppressed the Mystery of Earth to the Mid-period of the Seventh Break level, gathering masses of earthy yellow light, engaging in fierce battle with the three gatekeepers.
"Hmm?"
"So, the Mystery of Earth can be used like this." Jiang Ye’s eyes sparkled slightly.
Amid the ferocious combat, he inadvertently comprehended another use of the Mystery of Earth... a method he had never detected before.
"Indeed."
"My Mysteries of Heaven and Earth advanced too rapidly." Jiang Ye thought to himself, "From the Seventh Break to the Peak of Seven Breaks, then to the Eight Breaks, all took almost no time."
"Such rapid advancement."
"Though the progress seems remarkable, it tends to have a shallow foundation." Jiang Ye realized in his heart, "This has caused me to overlook many basic aspects."
"Now, by deliberately suppressing the mysteries’ level, I’ve discovered this."
In the past.
Jiang Ye’s method of employing the Mystery of Earth was only simple attack or defense.
But now?
"Mystery of Earth—Earth Walk!" Jiang Ye silently chanted in his heart, his figure suddenly transforming into a swath of earthy yellow.
He vanished instantly from where he was, reappearing tens of miles away in less than a ten-thousandth of a second.
It resembled the effect of ’teleportation.’
This! Was the new Earth Method Jiang Ye had comprehended.
"Earth Walk technique can be used to avoid a fatal strike in moments of crisis." Jiang Ye’s eyes shone brightly, "With this technique’s aid, even facing a frightening assault from an Eight Break powerhouse, I might evade it."
A multitude of thoughts flashed through his mind.
Jiang Ye’s hands moved, not slowing in the least, a long spear stabbing continuously, piercing through the body of one gatekeeper in an instant.
Upon gaining a more refined understanding of the Mystery of Earth, Jiang Ye’s combat power transformed once again.
Even at the same Mid-period of the Seventh Break level of mysteries, the power exerted was entirely different.
"Pfft~ Pfft!"
"Pfft!!"
In just a few seconds, the three gatekeepers defending the sixth layer were all slain.
Jiang Ye, officially passed the sixth layer.
"You have entered the first echelon." A hoarse voice sounded, "Please check the ranking."
Whoosh~ A massive ranking board appeared before Jiang Ye.
