After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 10 Overlapping Wave Sword Technique

"Wow! That's amazing! Qiqi wants to be that amazing when she grows up." Yang Qiqi clenched her fist.

"I believe you!" Shen Xu said sincerely; he truly believed her. With Yang Qiqi's talent, if she had been given more time, perhaps the fate of the Green Bamboo Sword Sect in her previous life wouldn't have been the same.

Hearing the sincerity in Shen Xu's words, Yang Qiqi smiled sweetly at him.

"Senior Brother Shen, is there any more?"

"Of course! But I should also start cultivating. Cultivation is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind. My talent for cultivation isn't very good, so if I don't work harder, how can I compete with those who have higher talent than me! I'll tell you a story again at this time tomorrow, Qiqi!"

"Then Qiqi will definitely wait for Senior Brother Shen here tomorrow," Yang Qiqi said with a smile.

"By the way, what brings Senior Brother Shen to the Hall of Affairs?"

"It's nothing, I just went to the main peak by myself today, but I found out that I need a group of people to go together before they will let me through. So I was wondering if anyone is going to the main peak recently."

“In that case, I will ask Uncle Zhang on behalf of Senior Brother Shen.”

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Qiqi!"

"It's just a small favor; I'll use it to thank Senior Brother Shen for telling me the story."

Shen Xu was in a great mood after leaving the outer hall of affairs. Although he hadn't managed to get anything from Elder Zhang, he had at least established a good relationship with Yang Qiqi, which would make it easier to ask her for help in the future.

However, some of the things Yang Qiqi said bothered him. She called Elder Zhang "Uncle Zhang," which suggests that her relationship with Elder Zhang was probably not simple.

Moreover, she has not yet started cultivating. Shen Xu guessed that Elder Zhang intended for her to start cultivating the advanced techniques of the Green Bamboo Sword Sect from the beginning, since geniuses always have privileges.

At Lianjian Cliff, the setting sun was like blood, its red afterglow spilling over the sea of ​​clouds and tinging the edge of the sky with a faint golden glow.

The young man sat upright on the cliff, facing the sea of ​​clouds, his eyes slightly closed, the stray hairs on his forehead swaying in the wind, his hands placed on his knees with palms facing the sky, and strands of vital energy were constantly being absorbed into his body from the outside world, and then flowing into the vital energy mist in his dantian through a special meridian route.

The newly absorbed vital energy in the dantian cannot be integrated with the original vital energy in the dantian. At this moment, it is clearly divided into two separate masses within the dantian.

This requires him to circulate his Qi through the body repeatedly, transforming the newly absorbed Qi into Qi that he can store in his Dantian through special meridian pathways.

What is not transformed will eventually dissipate from the dantian into the world. The higher the quality of the cultivation technique and the better one's own cultivation talent, the faster this process will be, and the faster one's cultivation level will improve.

According to Shen Xu's talent, the small ball of primordial energy he absorbed into his body would require him to spend dozens of cycles to completely transform it into his own primordial energy.

The meridians are fragile and can only withstand a limited amount of vital energy. Each circulation of vital energy requires a great deal of time and mental effort to carefully control the flow of vital energy in the meridians in order to prevent damage to the meridians and thus avoid spending more time and resources on repairing them.

When Shen Xu felt some swelling and pain in his meridians, he immediately stopped practicing the Azure Edge Technique.

He slowly raised his hands, which were resting on his knees, to his chest, and then gently lowered them. A faint, wisp of white mist, like smoke, escaped from his nostrils; it was the vital energy he had not yet had time to transform.

The number of cycles he can operate in a day is currently limited, which means that his daily strength improvement is also limited. However, after his rebirth, his soul has become much stronger, so naturally he can control more cycles of operation.

Shen Xu was satisfied with the result, because it was much faster than in his previous life, but still much slower than those monstrous geniuses, because the strength of his soul only tapped into his potential, while his cultivation talent ultimately determined his upper limit.

As evening approached, taking advantage of the remaining red afterglow on the horizon, Shen Xu took out the light blue book from his pocket and began to read it.

As Elder Huang said, the Overlapping Wave Sword Technique is easy to learn but difficult to master. The reason it is easy to learn is that the entry into this sword technique is very simple, with only three simple moves: the first move is to start the wave, the second move is to overlap the wave, and the third move is to kill with the wave.

The difficulty of this sword technique lies in the fact that if it is simply used, its destructive power is very small.

To truly unleash the power of this sword technique, one needs to repeatedly perform the Rising Wave and Stacking Wave techniques. Once the stacked waves reach a certain number, a powerful Wave Strike can be unleashed.

According to the book, this sword technique only requires stacking ten waves to achieve power comparable to a Heaven-rank sword technique.

But that's easier said than done. The battlefield is fraught with danger, and the enemy won't give you the time and opportunity to stack up the waves. Moreover, stacking waves is not easy either; the higher the number of layers, the higher the requirements for the user of the sword technique.

Without sufficient strength and a high level of control over this sword technique, the hard-won momentum will vanish in an instant, ultimately resulting in nothing.

Therefore, most people do not choose to stack too many layers. After all, the power of the Wave Killing Technique, which can be performed with just three layers, can surpass the power of some level-level sword techniques. Apart from those three sword techniques, most of the book contains the insights of predecessors on the techniques of stacking waves. Shen Xu also found it quite helpful after reading it.

Shen Xu closed the book, meditated, and the images of the Three Styles of Overlapping Waves flashed through his mind until they became incredibly clear. Then he opened his eyes.

Shen Xu rose and drew his sword. A melodious sword cry rang out. The sword moved with his body, flashing with light as he executed the three moves—Rising Wave, Overlapping Wave, and Wave Slash—in one fluid motion, without the slightest hesitation. However, the power was truly astonishing. Shen Xu even had a feeling that a casual thrust he made without using any sword techniques would be more powerful than the Wave Slash he had just unleashed.

This result was within his expectations. After practicing several times and confirming that there were no problems, Shen Xu began to perform the sword moves again and again, creating waves, layer upon layer of waves, creating waves, layer upon layer of waves...

Finally, during the fourth wave, he clearly felt that the sword in his hand was becoming uncontrollable. He immediately turned the sword around, and after his quick reaction, the longsword in his hand instantly left his palm. Then, the entire sword flew a distance and then disappeared into a cliff wall with a whoosh.

Looking at the sword embedded in the cliff face, Shen Xu couldn't help but feel a wave of fear. If he hadn't reacted quickly, the sword would probably have flown into the sea of ​​clouds, and in that case, his chances of finding it would have been extremely slim.

However, Shen Xu was quite excited to have stacked three layers on his first attempt, something he wouldn't have dared to even dream of in his previous life. Moreover, he clearly felt that three layers wasn't his limit; if he could stack five layers, he would even have a chance of defeating Mo Shan, who was at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation.
