393: Hidden Word Technique, achieved through cultivation

Actually, Shen Bei still had two Cultivation Techniques that he hadn't finished Cultivating.

One was the final move of the dual-blade Martial Skill: Void Lunar Array - Damaged Blade Art.

The other was the Magnetic Pole Cyclone Yuan Skill.

The Magnetic Pole Cyclone Yuan Skill, naturally, goes without saying; the electrical environment of Jian Tong's family alone was simply unable to meet Shen Bei's electricity demands.

He was afraid it would bankrupt his father-in-law.

As for the Blade Art… Shen Bei had never tried the final move.

He couldn't Cultivate it before, possibly because its grade was too low, but it should be about right now. However, Shen Bei planned to finish Cultivating the "Hidden" Word Skill first.

After thoroughly understanding the Cultivation content of the "Hidden" Word Skill,

He closed his eyes, his expression serene, fully immersed in the Cultivation of the "Hidden" Word Skill.

This Glyph, even Wu Bi'an regarded as a miraculous skill, a Heaven-Defying transformation, based on injury, locked by time. Its Cultivation process would undoubtedly encounter unknown challenges.

After entering a state of meditation and calm,

Shen Bei prepared to Cultivate the first step: Comprehending Injury.

His consciousness sank into his Dantian, where there seemed to be a transparent mirror, reflecting every scar he had sustained in past battles.

Coincidentally, if he hadn't suffered a lot of damage recently, Shen Bei would have had to go through the same process as when he Cultivated the Rage Blood Overlord Body...

Self-mutilation.

At that time, his self-mutilation almost scared several soldiers in the military to pee their pants, and Bai Wei even got a toothache.

But now, Shen Bei was just right. After the battle in North Mansion, what he lacked least were wounds.

Moreover, these injuries were almost a superposition of damages that touched death.

Being at the peak of injury, yet still lively and kicking, this critical point was incredibly difficult to master.

With this foundation, the first step of Comprehending Injury Cultivation was simply effortless!

Shen Bei began to review these pains one by one, not to lick his wounds, but to deeply understand the essence of pain.

Every drop of blood, every crack, transformed into fine lines in his heart, converging into a strange energy flow.

This was "Comprehending Injury," transforming pain into the starting point of Cultivation.

This Cultivation process lasted a full three hours.

On the other side, Jian Tong had already prepared a table full of dishes, intending to welcome Shen Bei.

Jian Shan returned from the backyard, shaking his head: "No need to wait. That kid is Cultivating a Martial Skill. I don't think he'll stop anytime soon."

Jian Tong was a bit annoyed, pouting her pink lips: "How can he be like this? Not even eating? I'll go call him!"

"Don't."

Jian Shan waved his hand: "Don't interrupt his work. This Cultivation requires a single burst of effort. You need to be tolerant and broad-minded. For someone like Shen Bei, who is obsessed with the Martial Dao, what we need to do is support him."

Jian Tong rolled her eyes.

...

Backyard.

As Shen Bei's Cultivation deepened,

He had already reached the second step of the "Hidden" Word Skill: Time Lock Construction.

As Shen Bei took a deep breath, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, and time flowed slowly in his perception.

He guided the energy flow transformed from his injuries, weaving it into an invisible net. This net gradually formed a closed loop, firmly locking the energy.

This was "locking with time," delaying the injuries that should have taken effect immediately, turning them into a potential power reserve.

Around Shen Bei, the blue light grew denser, as if the river of time had solidified at this moment.

This was the most crucial node of the "Hidden" Word Skill.

Temporarily storing the sustained damage, even fatal injuries inflicted on him would be like falling into the sea. From the enemy's perspective, it would have no effect whatsoever.

But Shen Bei knew that this was merely temporarily storing the damage, not digesting it.

Energy is conserved, after all.

This physical characteristic applies in any world.

Time slowly passed.

Shen Bei made slightly difficult progress in the second step of Cultivation.

He only completed it by early the next morning.

It took nearly ten hours.

Of course, Shen Bei felt it was slow.

But if Wu Bi'an were here watching, he would surely exclaim: You are a Prodigy!

This Cultivation speed was nothing short of a miracle!

One must know that when Wu Bi'an Cultivated the "Hidden" Word Skill,

Just for the first step, Comprehending Injury, in order to find the maximum damage that would not result in death, Wu Bi'an experimented for a whole month!

And it took him three months to even begin to comprehend Comprehending Injury!

Although Wu Bi'an was a Cultivator of the Divine Power Realm, his previous Cultivation talent was not low, but compared to Shen Bei...

He could only eat dust behind him.

...

"The second step of Cultivation is complete!"

Shen Bei slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi.

He looked down at the scars on his body, which had all disappeared.

No wounds or scars were visible at all.

This was the result of the "Hidden" Word Skill storing all of Shen Bei's injuries.

"It truly is miraculous!"

Shen Bei exclaimed.

According to the current progress, the stored damage would likely be uncontrollably released again and backfire on him after about ten minutes.

Shen Bei waited quietly.

But he miscalculated.

In less than ten minutes, just five minutes, the damage backfired and was released. He almost re-experienced the severe battle damage from North Mansion.

Wounds and knife scars reappeared all over his body.

Shen Bei gritted his teeth and endured for a while, taking a sharp breath: "This won't do. This amount of time is completely insufficient."

For a battle, if it's a crushing victory, then naturally there's no need to mention it.

If it's a drawn-out battle, and the battle time lengthens, the damage stored by the "Hidden" Word Skill being released during the battle would render it largely ineffective.

"The Cultivation isn't over yet, no rush."

Shen Bei began to Cultivate the next step of the "Hidden" Word Skill.

The third step: Hiding the Edge in the Void Realm.

Shen Bei once again entered a Cultivation state.

Following the description in the book, he slowly spread his arms, flicked his fingers, and streaks of red light flew out like silk threads, coiling around his body, then disappearing into the Void Realm.

These lights represented the damage he had sustained, cleverly hidden and transformed into an invisible blood pool.

"So I can also control the blood pool!"

Shen Bei was overjoyed.

At this moment, Shen Bei seemed to blend into the surrounding scenery, his edge restrained, almost imperceptible.

"Hiding the enemy's edge," he had already transformed his weaknesses into stripped-away damage.

Marvelous!

Five hours later.

Shen Bei completely mastered controlling the blood pool of stored damage.

Without stopping.

Shen Bei began to Cultivate the final step: Backlash!

This was the most contradictory and dangerous essence of the "Hidden" Word Skill — Backlash.

As the Cultivation progressed, Shen Bei began to simulate the moment the battle ended, those injuries confined by the time lock surging back into his body like a tide.

Shen Bei closed his eyes and concentrated, his mind as firm as a rock, imagining the sealed pain and trauma transforming into dark currents, surging upwards, penetrating skin, invading bones, and directly striking his Soul.

This force was both painful and transformative. Each backlash felt like tempering the resilience of his will and refining the strength of his Soul, allowing him to walk the edge of pain without being swallowed.

At this critical moment, a faint silver light appeared on Shen Bei's body. King Kong Indestructible activated!

After this Martial Skill was activated, the backlash damage was indeed greatly reduced, not enough to immediately destroy him.

Then, Shen Bei deactivated King Kong Indestructible, and the silver light on his body receded.

He then activated the Rage Blood Overlord Body.

The pain of the backlash began to nourish Shen Bei's Rage Blood Overlord Body, causing all his attributes to steadily climb.

By this point, Shen Bei's "Hidden" Word Skill, requiring nearly 40 hours of consumption, was considered to have reached Major Achievement in Cultivation.

It was now late afternoon on the third day.

Shen Bei still sat motionless on the large stone, repeatedly switching between King Kong Indestructible and Rage Blood Overlord Body during the final backlash step.

He allowed the three Martial Skills to integrate, achieving a speed where instinctive reactions surpassed neural reflexes.

After the integration was nearly complete,

Shen Bei slowly stood up, his bones cracking loudly.

The "Hidden" Word Skill activated!

The Rage Blood Overlord Body activated!

Shen Bei twisted his body, wanting to test the power of his fist.

He originally wanted to strike the large stone in front of him, but then thought better of it. No matter how awesome he was, it would be troublesome if his father-in-law wasn't happy.

Then, Shen Bei aimed his fist directly at the sky where white clouds drifted.

Martial Skill: Heart-Piercing Cannon Hammer!

Boom!

With a single punch, the sky shattered...
