Chapter 2200: I am a Genius

As soon as he heard Wei Tiande, the cultivator immediately said, Elder can be rest a.s.sured, my lips are sealed. The cultivator knew that Wei Tiande wasnt a kind-hearted person. If his orders werent followed, he would certainly kill you. With his status, killing a younger cultivator wouldnt be an issue.

Whats on the cultivators mind right now was how to develop a good relations.h.i.+p with Zhao Hai. He just heard from Wei Tiande that he was pa.s.sing his legacy to Zhao Hai. If this was true, then Zhao Hai has a huge potential of becoming a powerhouse in the Battle Corpse Sect. If the cultivator leaned on Zhao Hai early on, he would certainly benefit a lot.

Wei Tiande looked at the cultivator and waved his hand. The cultivator cupped his fist towards Wei Tiande before turning around and leaving.

The Battle Corpse Sect continued on in the following days. People began to slowly lose interest in Zhao Hai. Naturally, this was because the news about Wei Tiande wanting to pa.s.s his legacy to Zhao Hai didnt spread out. If it did, Zhao Hai would certainly become more famous.

In the underground world, the way a legacy was pa.s.sed down was the same as in the True Spirit Realm. An elder like Wei Tiande could register a true disciple and an inheritance disciple. Needless to say, and elder can accept many true disciples. And these true disciples would hold the same status as an inner disciple. But it was impossible for a true disciple to accept an elders inheritance.

As for inheritance disciples, they are the disciple that the elder intends to pa.s.s their inheritance to. The position of these disciples in the sect tend to be very high.

However, inheritance disciples were also cla.s.sified into two types. The first type was the common inheritance disciple. These disciples would still learn the core techniques of the elder, but they wouldnt receive everything. At most, common inheritance disciples would receive 60% of an elders techniques.

The other type of inheritance disciples was the legacy disciples. Legacy disciples would receive the entire inheritance of the elder. When the elder dies, everything they owned, even their position, would be given to their legacy disciple. Legacy disciples were the true successors to the elders.

Wei Tiande mentioned to the cultivator that he would take Zhao Hai as his legacy disciple. Wei Tiandes status in the Battle Corpse Sect wasnt low. If he said this, it was enough evidence to see how much importance he attached to Zhao Hai.

If the people of the Battle Corpse Sect knew of this information, Zhao Hai would certainly become a famed cultivator in the sect. Unfortunately, n.o.body was aware of this information.

After seven days of seclusion, Zhao Hai finally came out. He has completely fused the Ghost Shadow Claw to the Heavenly Demon Claw. The reason he could do this was because he was very proficient with the Heavenly Demon Claw. His soul was aware of every change that happens to the Heavenly Demon Claw. He also used this method during the fusion of the two techniques.

When Zhao Hai exited his seclusion, he looked at the time and found that a week had pa.s.sed. He quickly left his residence and went to Wei Tiandes room. Then he reported, Disciple Zhao Ling is here to meet Master.

Wei Tiandes voice was immediately heard, Come in. Zhao Hai nodded and then walked in.

Upon entering Wei Tiandes room, Zhao Hai saw Wei Tiandes sunken expression as he sat in his chair. Zhao Hai hastily bowed and said, I have seen Master.

Wei Tiande coldly snorted and said, So you still know that you have a master. Tell me, what were you doing?

Zhao Hai quickly replied, Replying to master. This disciple spent the last week in seclusion. I didnt go out. The technique that master gave me is too good, I unconsciously went into seclusion to learn it.

Amazement pa.s.sed through Wei Tiandes eyes. But he still coldly snorted and said, Since you think its good, how far have you practiced it?

Zhao Hai replied, I basically learned it. Moreover, I was able to integrate it to the Heavenly Demon Claw. If master wants, I can demonstrate it to you.

Hearing Zhao Hai, Wei Tiande couldnt help but nod, Good, show me.

Seeing Zhao Hai looking around, Wei Tiande coldly snorted and said, Do it here. The Ghost Shadow Clone is famous for its accompanying movement technique. If you didnt practice the movement technique, what Ghost Shadow Claw have you been practicing?

Hearing Wei Tiande, Zhao Hai nodded and said, Yes, master. Then his body moved according to the movement technique of the Ghost Shadow Claw. Zhao Hai moved randomly around the room. The Ghost Shadow Claw was famous for this movement technique. Zhao Hai has truly become a ghostly shadow.

When Zhao Hai showed the entirety of the Ghost Shadow Claw, the room turned into a ghost domain and the sound of ghastly wailing could be heard in the room. And because Zhao Hais Ghost Shadow Claw has been fused with the Heavenly Demon Claw, there was a trace of demonic aura in the room. When the ghastly aura was mixed with the demonic aura, the two merged and increased the intensity of the Ghost Shadow Claw.

After showing the Ghost Shadow Claw, Zhao Hai stopped in front of Wei Tiande. Meanwhile, Wei Tiande was looking at Zhao Hai in surprise. He didnt expect Zhao Hai to train the Ghost Shadow Claw to this level. He had seen Zhao Hai perform a perfect-level Ghost Shadow Claw.

Wei Tiande looked at Zhao Hai, his expression was gloomy as he said, Zhao Ling, tell me the truth, did you study the Ghost Shadow Claw before?

Hearing this, Zhao Hai stared, he looked at Wei Tiande with confusion as he answered, Master, what do you mean? I truly havent learned the Ghost Shadow Claw before.

Wei Tiande looked at Zhao Hai, then with a cold voice he said, You already reached this level despite learning the Ghost Shadow Claw for the first time? Do you think that youre a genius?

Zhao Hai blankly stared at Wei Tiande, Master, I am a genius. Isnt this the reason why you accepted me as a disciple?

You? As soon as he heard Zhao Hai, Wei Tiande couldnt help but be mad. He didnt expect Zhao Hai to give such a strange answer. It was truly unexpected.

Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Wei Tiande looked at Zhao Hai and said, Alright, youre a genius. Lets see how much of a genius you are. Then he waved his hand and took out a jade slip. He threw the jade slip to Zhao Hai and said, This is the Battle Corpse Sects Corpse Fist. Its one of our foundational techniques. There are only a few people who could practice this. Although it is very powerful, its difficult to practice. If you mess up, you will go mad and become a true corpse boxer. Didnt you say that youre a genius? Then learn this fist technique for me.

Zhao Hai received the jade slip. Upon hearing Wei Tiande, he couldnt help but smile and said, Master, do you want me to practice here, or should I go back to my residence?

Hearing this, Wei Tiande stared, then he said, It seems like youre really confident. Practice it here now. Ill give you a room and food. Focus on practicing the technique.

Zhao Hai didnt hesitate and nodded. Then he cupped his fist to Wei Tiande and said, Master, this disciple will impose on you. Wei Tiande didnt care and waved his hand. Zhao Hai sat in Wei Tiandes living room and searched the jade slip with his spiritual force. He carefully went through the Battle Corpse Sects Corpse Fist.

Seeing the cultivation method, Zhao Hai couldnt help but be shocked. This cultivation method was quite special. It was a technique that bordered life and death.

The person who practiced the technique was obviously a living person, but practicing the technique would need a high concentration of death qi. The cultivator would inhale death qi into their body and transform it into life qi. Then they would transform the life qi once more into death qi. This cycle would create purer and more concentrated death qi. The purer the death qi, the stronger the fist would be.

Just like Wei Tiande said, the difficulty of the technique lay in the conversion between life qi and death qi. If the inhaled death qi wasnt transformed properly, the cultivators body would be affected, and they would slowly turn into a corpse. If the cultivator suffers this mishap during battle, not only would they be weaker, they will also hurt themselves. And in both outcomes, they would be turned into a corpse.

However, one couldnt deny the power of the fist technique. The cycle of conversion between life qi and death qi was ingenious. Moreover, death qi would cause heavy damage to ones enemy. Death qi was fatal to any lifeform. Even if they manage to escape, the death qi would linger and poison their bodies. Their skin would peel, and their body would rot.

As Zhao Hai was going through the technique, he was suddenly enlightened. The changing between life qi and death qi reminded him of his spirit roots. Although Zhao Hai had a multi-attribute spirit root, unifying his various techniques perplexed him. The spiritual qi produced by his spiritual roots have their own attributes. However, these spiritual qi were very hard to fuse together. This was especially true for opposed spiritual qi like water qi and fire qi. Through some methods, Zhao Hai could form a balance between the two, but he couldnt use them at the same time.

The Corpse Fists method to cycle life qi and death qi gave Zhao Hai an idea. If life qi and death qi could transform into each other, then could the other attributes do the same? Thinking of this, Zhao Hai couldnt help but be more motivated.
