Now, Ding Ling's prowess with the axe is probably enough to contend with many top second-class generals!
Some third-class generals might be felled by a single axe strike from Ding Ling.
His axe technique is astonishingly in the Transformation Realm at the foundational stage!
Not a flaw to be found!
It's simply too perfect!
A while later.
Ding Ling sheathed his axe and stood upright.
Zhang Hex and the others snapped out of their daze and quickly applauded him!
Pan Feng also looked at Ding Ling with a face full of astonishment and admiration:
"Your talent in axe techniques surpasses my imagination! Back when I was comprehending the high-tier axe techniques, I didn't reach the Perfection Stage as quickly as you did!"
His expression was peculiar, and a ripple rose in his heart:
"I think I now understand how Zhang Hex and the others must feel. Encountering someone more talented than oneself is indeed both shocking and surprising, and also a bit disheartening!"
The reasons for the shock and surprise are obvious.
The disheartenment comes naturally from feeling overshadowed, as he is no longer the unrivaled pioneer in this field!
"However, the more talent you show in axe technique, the happier I am."
Pan Feng changed the topic and laughed:
"I'm now more and more looking forward to your performance."
He walked to the side, took an ancient bamboo scroll from a bookshelf, and handed it to Ding Ling:
"This is an ancient bamboo scroll I acquired by chance from a mysterious realm. This bamboo scroll is impervious to water and fire, truly a Divine Object!"
Seeing Ding Ling receive the bamboo scroll, he started to flip through it.
Pan Feng didn't mind and continued smiling as he explained:
"I don't know the origin of this bamboo scroll, nor who forged it.
However, besides the Thirty-Six Celestial Spirit Axe Techniques, this bamboo scroll also contains a complementary Breathing Technique."
"But..."
Ding Ling suddenly looked up at Pan Feng:
"I didn't see the Breathing Technique in this bamboo scroll."
Zhang Hex and the others also glanced at Pan Feng. The Breathing Technique is extremely rare. Some families regard it as a treasure that will never be shared outside!
In the eyes of Zhang Hex and the others, techniques might be static, but the Breathing Technique is dynamic; in terms of rarity, the Breathing Technique far surpasses the techniques, and is seen as the foundation of a family.
Pan Feng being able to find a matching Breathing Technique for the Thirty-Six Celestial Spirit Axe Techniques is truly incredible luck!
"There is a reason for that."
Pan Feng showed a peculiar expression:
"Strangely, after I learned the Breathing Technique, it suddenly disappeared from the bamboo scroll, and no matter how I recalled it afterward, I couldn't remember it. So, I'm very sorry."
He said with regret:
"I cannot pass on the complementary Breathing Technique to you."
He sighed:
"Without the complementary Breathing Technique, the difficulty of learning the Thirty-Six Celestial Spirit Axe Techniques is beyond imagination!"
He pointed at himself:
"Even I, without the complementary Breathing Technique, would never master all the Celestial Spirit Axe Techniques. I might learn the first dozen axe techniques at most. For, as it progresses, the Celestial Spirit Axe Techniques become more fierce and aggressive, harming the body excessively. Without the Breathing Technique to balance it, forcing oneself might injure one's organs, causing harm to oneself while defeating the enemy, which is too unprofitable."
Pan Feng continued to explain various details and origins of the Thirty-Six Celestial Spirit Axe Techniques.
Ding Ling listened while slightly closing his eyes.
He had already finished examining the ancient bamboo scroll.
After closing his eyes.
In just a moment.
A new book appeared in the library, with flamboyant inscriptions on top: "Thirty-Six Celestial Spirit Axe Techniques"!
Bang!
All sorts of incredible contents, essences, mysteries, roared into Ding Ling's Sea of Consciousness, organs, and marrow, transforming into his instinct.
[Thirty-Six Celestial Spirit Axe Techniques Full Level]
[Strength +2.4]
[Agility +1.6]
[Physique +2.4]
Crack!
The bones were crackling!
The organs were trembling!
Ding Ling's physique was changing, his height increasing slightly with each cracking sound.
A mysterious force field began to change invisibly around him! As if there were fierce whirlwinds swirling around him!
At this moment.
Ding Ling seemed like a Mountain God, an incredible aura surged from his body, even beginning to affect the outside void!
"This?!"
Pan Feng shut his mouth, looking at Ding Ling in utter disbelief, his eyes almost popping out:
"How, how, how is this possible?!"
"Can't be?!"
Zhang Hex, Gao Lan, Cheng Huan were also bewildered:
"Impossible! It hasn't even been a quarter of an hour! How could he have mastered it already?! This is absolutely impossible! It must be that Ding Ling, after accumulating so much, experienced some subtle changes in his body, there's no way he mastered the Thirty-Six Celestial Spirit Axe Techniques in such a short time. It's just too brief!"
Zhang Hex, Gao Lan, and Cheng Huan, who admired Pan Feng's strength, had seen the first dozen moves of the Thirty-Six Celestial Spirit Axe Techniques.
I have to admit.
It's too difficult.
They tried and ended up giving up one by one, it's simply not humanly possible to learn!
Besides, without the complementary Breathing Technique to restore the organs, even if learned, it's hard to fully unleash the power of the Celestial Spirit Axe Techniques! So why bother learning then?
But Ding Ling?
Without the Breathing Technique.
He actually mastered the Celestial Spirit Axe Techniques?!
Zhang Hex and the others stared intently at Ding Ling, their eyes full of amazement, perplexity, expectation, confusion, and incomprehension, experiencing a kaleidoscope of emotions!
Clang!
Ding Ling opened his eyes, and without a word, wielded the sharp axe, starting to demonstrate the Thirty-Six Celestial Spirit Axe Techniques.
This time, he had gained several hundred pounds of strength, his physique stronger, endurance more lasting, breathing steady!
His agility, needless to say, was high.
This made the sixty-pound sharp axe feel like a toy in his hands, light as if it had no weight!
While performing the Thirty-Six Celestial Spirit Axe Techniques, it was like he was performing magic, perfect to the point of astonishment!
All sorts of incredible moves were displayed by him one after another!
Each move seemed like thunderstrikes, like an antelope's horns hanging, with no trace or pattern to follow!
Yet they all seemed crafted by gods, extraordinarily ingenious, leaving viewers bewildered, marveling at a Celestial Being!
Bang!
As the last axe technique struck the ground, with a reverberating sound, it directly cleaved a slender fissure four to five meters long into the earth!
Ding Ling exhaled deeply, sheathed the axe, and stood still.
Zhang Hex and the others suddenly woke up, either applauding, or in shock, or simply shouting praises and admiration:
"Absolutely incredible! Is this the Thirty-Six Celestial Spirit Axe Techniques?! I wouldn't have thought they'd look so different in Ding Ling's hands!"
"So strong. Ding Ling can definitely be compared to a first-class general now! How long has it been? He's grown to this extent, it's defying fate! Practically a War God descended to earth!"
...
Zhang Hex, Gao Lan, Cheng Huan were awed, looking at Ding Ling as if looking at a freak or monster!
How could a normal person progress so much?
