Infinite Fighting

Chapter 78: Chapter 69: Perfecting the Five Forms in Just 10 Days

The [Wind God Kick], also called the [Fudoli Kick].

It was a fighting skill from the [Divine Wind Sect].

This school primarily focused on harnessing air currents.

Within a planet’s atmosphere, they essentially had a home-field advantage almost everywhere.

As long as the altitude wasn’t too high and the air wasn’t too thin, it could produce considerable effects.

The [Wind God Kick] was a fighting skill that involved gathering and compressing a massive amount of air around the leg, then unleashing it in an explosive kick.

If one could master it, shattering a building with a single kick would be a simple matter.

’Yes, shattering a building.’

It could directly pulverize a large building into dust.

It could even obliterate a small mountain.

Although it was only rated at (Excellent Seven Stars), with its home-field advantage on a planet, it could be used as an (Excellent Nine Stars) skill.

A fighting skill that only required (Excellent Seven Stars) experience to learn but could unleash the power of (Excellent Nine Stars) and had a home-field advantage in most areas was, one could say, quite practical.

In addition to the information about the fighting skill, Zhang Ji also received some other details.

It was information about the Treasure Pearl of Wind before him.

This giant Treasure Pearl of Wind was the ultimate treasure that housed this fragment of the Ruins Realm.

It existed simultaneously in the Ruins Realm and on Origin Star.

Taking it away was equivalent to taking the entire Ruins Realm with him.

This was the so-called portable Ruins Realm.

However, in the game, after obtaining the pearl, one could place it in their inventory and take it out at will.

But now, Zhang Ji found that he couldn’t quite do that.

’How am I supposed to carry around a pearl with a one-meter diameter?’

It could only be placed in a fixed location.

Still, taking such a pearl with him wouldn’t be difficult.

After a moment of thought, Zhang Ji wrapped his arms around the Treasure Pearl of Wind and applied a bit of force.

POP~!

As if pulling something off a suction cup, the Treasure Pearl of Wind was plucked from the center of the platform by Zhang Ji.

Then, the air currents throughout the entire Tower of Divine Wind suddenly vanished.

The pearl was surprisingly light—it didn’t even feel like ten kilograms—but its size was a bit large.

Zhang Ji held the pearl, assumed the Spirit Crane Stance, and began to leap rapidly downward.

He covered dozens of meters with each jump, and soon appeared before Zoeyna and the others.

With a final leap, Zhang Ji landed lightly on the balls of his feet without making a sound, coming to a perfect standstill.

"Matriarch Zoeyna, I believe this is the treasure you spoke of." Zhang Ji offered the cyan Treasure Pearl of Wind, placing it on the ground.

"This orb?" Zoeyna asked uncertainly.

"You can try touching it," Zhang Ji said.

"I’ll do it," Weston said, stepping forward.

Zhang Ji didn’t stop him.

Zoeyna nodded, and Weston immediately reached out to touch the Treasure Pearl of Wind.

Instantly, the Treasure Pearl of Wind burst with light, imparting the same information it had just given Zhang Ji.

Before long, it had finished transmitting the information, and the pearl’s glow dimmed slightly.

However, this didn’t mean it had a limited number of uses.

As long as it was returned to the top of the Tower of Divine Wind, it could reabsorb sunlight and continuously store energy.

This function also seemed inextricably linked to Dela.

After receiving the information, Weston stood with his eyes closed for a moment. His expression turned much more solemn. He looked at Zoeyna, unsure how to explain.

"Weston, what happened?" Zoeyna asked.

"Matriarch, you’ll understand once you touch it," Weston said.

Hearing this, Zoeyna no longer hesitated and placed her hand on the Treasure Pearl of Wind.

The same cyan light bloomed, and soon, Zoeyna had also received the information.

When she removed her hand from the pearl, her expression was incredibly complicated.

She remembered her words about giving half of the treasure to Zhang Ji.

’According to the current situation, doesn’t that mean I have to give half of our home directly to Zhang Ji?’

Of course, Zhang Ji wouldn’t be so tactless as to demand half of the Ruins Realm.

At least, not at this moment.

After Zhang Ji had taken the pearl down for Zoeyna and Weston to touch, they also had Hudson touch it. Zoeyna expressed her gratitude to Zhang Ji, and finally, Weston personally returned it to the top of the Tower of Divine Wind.

...

In a quiet room, Zhang Ji told Zoeyna and the others about the situation outside.

"The outside world is changing rapidly now. If you were to go out rashly, I’m afraid it would be very difficult to integrate into society. Staying isolated isn’t the best strategy either. Ultimately, you need to develop, or you will sooner or later be submerged by history or found by others. I’m not just being an alarmist. When that time comes, with your current strength, you’ll find it very difficult to protect what you have." Zhang Ji presented his proposal, saying, "If you’re amenable, perhaps we can cooperate. I am backed by a faction that is quite powerful and is currently in a phase of vigorous growth. We are in dire need of talented people. If Matriarch Zoeyna is willing to lend us some people and allow us to use your precious land for production, cultivation, and resource gathering, we can in turn help you build a better city, help your people integrate into modern society, increase your strength, and protect your home..."

The faction Zhang Ji spoke of was, of course, the Five Elements Sect.

’Although the Five Elements Sect has been decimated, with members dead or fled, I’m still growing. Isn’t that vigorous development?’

’With so many people dead, of course we’re short on personnel.’

Their side lacked strength; Zhang Ji’s side lacked people.

A partnership between the two would be perfect.

Given some time, developing this place into a major rear base for the Five Elements Sect would align with Zhang Ji’s interests, as well as those of Zoeyna and her people.

Of course, they could also insist on remaining independent.

Zhang Ji wouldn’t force them.

Ruins Realms could be found everywhere, but he was determined to have these people.

Every child here who possessed the blood of Dela and the Divine Wind bloodline could be considered an excellent fighter.

With a bit of training, they could at least reach the seventh or eighth professional rank.

For those with even better talent, becoming a Grandmaster was not just a dream.

Someone as naturally gifted as Hudson, who had reached this level with little training, could potentially become a Terrestrial Immortal—a B-rank—if properly nurtured.

This training process might take a long time, of course, but Zhang Ji was planning for the distant future.

Even if he became invincible, he couldn’t do everything himself. He would need a steady stream of experts to work for him.

Besides, he could use them right now.

Just by relying on their bloodline, they could reach the level of professional fighters upon reaching adulthood. The people here could immediately become the foundational strength of a Sect.

Zoeyna was half-convinced and half-skeptical of what Zhang Ji described.

After all, Zhang Ji hadn’t even shown her a video. Why would she believe him?

"Zhang Ji, could you allow me some time to consider this matter?" Zoeyna said.

"Of course. This is a major decision concerning your entire tribe. It’s right for you to consider it carefully, Matriarch Zoeyna." Zhang Ji smiled and added, "I’ll be staying here for a while longer. I hope you will give it some serious thought."

"I will," Zoeyna said.

After that, Zhang Ji left.

Zoeyna, a few of the tribal elders, and Weston then began a second round of debate.

...

Zhang Ji wasn’t worried about Zoeyna and her people’s final decision.

’This world is nice, but it’s ultimately too small,’ he thought.

’And sooner or later, they will be found.’

’So, external cooperation is a certainty.’

Right now, they needed a bridge to connect with the outside world.

Zhang Ji was willing to be that bridge, and he would also further display his strength to show his value as a partner.

Next, Zhang Ji planned to stay in this Ruins Realm for about a month to raise his strength to B-rank.

His original plan was to cultivate two more Horizontal Training Crystals to supplement his physical strength.

But now, while using the Five Elements Combination, Zhang Ji worried that adding other types of fighting crystals would create a messy hybrid, causing him to lose the special effect of the combination.

The Five Elements Combination was comprehensive and useful: it boosted strength, speed, attack, and recovery, and even came with a super move.

Zhang Ji didn’t want to give up any of it.

After weighing his options, he made a different choice.

He would cultivate five more fighting crystals for the Five Elements Fist.

He would recultivate the Five Elements Fist.

Then, with two crystals for each of the Snake, Crane, Leopard, Tiger, and Dragon forms, he could fuse them into one (Excellent) fighting crystal.

That way, there wouldn’t be any issue of it becoming a messy hybrid.

Most importantly, the Five Elements could be cultivated simultaneously.

And cultivating them together was even faster than cultivating them one by one.

In the time it took to cultivate one essence of the [Iron Body Skill], he could cultivate nearly five essences for the Five Elements Fist.

’Even by a generous estimate, it would take a month at most to recultivate these five crystals.’

...

「On the third day of Zhang Ji’s arrival in the Divine Wind Ruins Realm...」

After Zoeyna and the others learned the secret of the Tower of Divine Wind, they no longer allowed children to play there.

From now on, it would be the place where they trained their tribe’s members.

Of course, Zhang Ji could still go up whenever he wanted.

At this very moment, on the platform at the top of the Tower of Divine Wind, he was cultivating his skills, sharing the sunlight that shone upon the Treasure Pearl of Wind.

The place had been designed so that a large amount of the sunlight within the Divine Wind Ruins Realm was focused here.

This happened to be beneficial for Zhang Ji’s Dela bloodline as well.

Zhang Ji stored all of his fighting crystals, except for the one for his [True Qi Nourishing Spirit Skill], into his Limited Space.

Then, he began to recultivate the Five Elements Fist.

Under his powerful spiritual control, the recultivation process went very smoothly. He linked the Five Elements Fist styles together, practicing them as a single, unified whole.

His aptitude had been enhanced multiple times, and now, with the boost from his Dela blood, it was no longer appropriate to describe his fighting talent as a "water bottle."

Zhang Ji felt he was now more like a large bucket.

For these Grandmaster Level martial arts, the speed at which he could practice them was the speed at which he could convert their power into his body.

What limited him was no longer the size of the bucket, but the speed at which water was poured in.

It was his body’s own conversion efficiency.

Back in the jungle, Zhang Ji had used his mastered Dragon and Snake forms to drive the practice of the other three fist styles, managing to create three essences in a single day.

Now, as he recultivated them, starting all five from scratch and aided by the sunlight absorbed by his Dela blood and the moon essence from the Moonlight Cup, his speed had not decreased but instead increased.

After practicing under the sun for just one day, Zhang Ji had already obtained five essences for the Five Elements Fist.

This was much faster than he had anticipated.

’Cultivating all five elements simultaneously, with the help of the Limited Space... I could actually master them all in ten days at the fastest?’ he thought in disbelief.

’If Li Long knew about this, he’d probably feel like he’d wasted the first twenty-plus years of his life.’

SIGH!

The thought of Li Long made Zhang Ji sigh again involuntarily.

But he immediately refocused and began to practice diligently once more.

’I won’t let something like that happen again.’

’Once I’m strong enough, I’ll definitely go back and slaughter all those filthy things to avenge Li Long and the others.’
