Becoming a Saint From the Iron Armor Skill

Chapter 480: Chapter 239: Ice and Fire Shared Furnace

「Linji City Inner City.」

The Shen Family residence.

Within the Ice Castle, it was a world of ice and snow, as always.

Chen Cheng, longsword in hand, practiced the Frost Snow Sword Technique in the snow, one move at a time.

Perhaps because he was used to the nimble and elegant Wind Chasing Saber Technique, Chen Cheng’s execution of the Frost Snow Sword Technique was stiff and clumsy.

"Sigh..." Shen Qingyao shook her head, unable to stop a soft sigh from escaping. "It’s been nearly an hour, and Junior Brother Chen still hasn’t cultivated the Frost Snow Sword Technique to Great Success.

It seems he just isn’t suited for this Sword Technique!"

Nearby, Shen Qingshuang remained silent, but a rare flicker of disappointment also appeared in her beautiful eyes.

The two sisters had led Chen Cheng to the Ice Castle filled with anticipation, assuming he would propose marriage to the Shen Family’s Ancestor, Shen Zhaoyi.

But they never imagined that upon arriving at the Ice Castle, Chen Cheng would instead ask to learn the Frost Snow Sword Technique from Shen Zhaoyi, and even request to see the Shen Family’s prized Fundamental Diagram for the Frost Snow Sword Technique.

Naturally, Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang were baffled.

Although they hadn’t yet fully cultivated the Frost Snow Realm, they could already forcibly manifest it, and their skill with the Frost Snow Sword Technique was considered profound.

If Chen Cheng wanted to cultivate the Frost Snow Sword Technique, he only had to ask. The two of them would have gladly taught him, and letting him see the Fundamental Diagram for the Frost Snow Sword Technique wouldn’t have been an issue either.

’Why did he need to seek out the Shen Family Ancestor? Wasn’t that just making things more complicated than they needed to be?’

Despite their confusion, Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang were still very happy.

Chen Cheng’s willingness to cultivate the Frost Snow Sword Technique, and the fact that he had personally sought out their Ancestor, proved he didn’t consider the Shen Family outsiders.

Given the monstrous comprehension he had shown while cultivating the Flame Sun Sword Skill and the Green Wave Sword Technique, he should be able to bring the Frost Snow Sword Technique to the Perfect Level quickly. When that happened, he would surely propose to their Ancestor.

As for the Shen Family Ancestor, Shen Zhaoyi, he too had been delighted to learn that Chen Cheng wanted to study the Frost Snow Sword Technique under him. He had personally explained the Heart Method Mantra and taught him the forms, move by move.

Just as Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang were unhappy with Chen Cheng’s Cultivation Progress, so too was Shen Zhaoyi at first!

He had heard the sisters praise Chen Cheng’s comprehension countless times.

Yet Chen Cheng had been cultivating for nearly an hour and still hadn’t brought the Frost Snow Sword Technique to Great Success.

Shen Zhaoyi couldn’t help but suspect that their praise was merely the exaggerated boasts of two young women in love.

However, this suspicion didn’t last long. Shen Zhaoyi suddenly fell into deep thought, his gaze fixed on Chen Cheng as he practiced, lost in contemplation.

A short while later, Chen Cheng’s execution of the Frost Snow Sword Technique finally became methodical and competent, approaching the level of Great Success.

It was approaching, but not quite at Great Success, because while Chen Cheng’s movements were now fluid and skillful, they were subtly different from the Frost Snow Sword Technique at a conventional Great Success Level.

In both its Body Technique and Power Generation Techniques, Chen Cheng’s version of the Great Success Level Frost Snow Sword Technique had an unorthodox feel to it.

If it was like this at the Great Success Level, then the Perfect Level he cultivated would likely be even more unconventional.

It was hard to say if he would even be able to cultivate the Frost Snow Sword Stance.

Or, even if he did, it would likely take a completely different form.

A look of surprise suddenly crossed Shen Qingshuang’s beautiful face. "It seems Junior Brother Chen isn’t cultivating the Frost Snow Sword Technique according to the Heart Method Mantra taught by our Ancestor. He’s trying to create his own Heart Method to coordinate with the sword forms."

Shen Qingyao also grew pensive and murmured, "It seems the way Junior Brother Chen is performing the Frost Snow Sword Technique has abandoned all combat effectiveness. He’s aiming directly for the Frost Snow Sword Stance and the Frost Snow Realm!

Cultivating like this might be a shortcut, but it’s putting the cart before the horse!

The Shen Family’s Frost Snow Sword Technique comes from the Great Dao Sect. It’s a Cultivation Technique that the sages of old created after countless trials.

Its inherent Heart Method Mantra is the most compatible with the Frost Snow Sword Stance and the Frost Snow Realm.

How can Junior Brother Chen possibly master this Sword Technique if he’s so focused on immediate results?"

Chen Cheng, focused on his cultivation, had no time to worry about what Shen Qingyao and her sister were thinking.

And indeed, the Frost Snow Sword Technique he was cultivating was different from the one passed down by the Great Dao Sect.

When it came to the Heart Method Mantra, Chen Cheng had discarded all combat-oriented Dharma Gates, focusing solely on how to manifest the Frost Snow Sword Stance and the Frost Snow Realm.

Thus, the complete Superior Technique taught by Shen Zhaoyi became an Incomplete Technique in Chen Cheng’s hands.

Cultivating with an Incomplete Technique should naturally have been impossible.

But Chen Cheng had a panel that could automatically correct the Cultivation Technique.

After nearly an hour of cultivation, this new Frost Snow Sword Technique had been completely corrected.

Once the corrections were complete, Chen Cheng’s Cultivation Progress naturally began to skyrocket.

[Cultivation Progress for Frost Snow Sword Technique has increased.]

...

[Cultivation Progress for Frost Snow Sword Technique has increased.]

...

Prompts from the system panel appeared one after another.

After nearly another hour, Chen Cheng suddenly stopped cultivating. He stood, longsword in hand, looking contemplative.

Meanwhile, Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang were both completely stunned!

They could vaguely sense that Chen Cheng’s Frost Snow Sword Technique had seemingly reached the Perfect Level.

But his Perfect Level Frost Snow Sword Technique was utterly transformed. Even the most subtle details of the stances were completely different from the Perfect Level version passed down by the Great Dao Sect.

They were practically polar opposites!

The Great Dao Sect’s version of the Frost Snow Sword Technique was balanced for both offense and defense, while also allowing one to further cultivate the Frost Snow Sword Stance and Frost Snow Realm.

Chen Cheng’s version, however, had neither offense nor defense. Yet, it seemed it could also be used to cultivate the Frost Snow Sword Stance and the Frost Snow Realm.
