126: Section 126
The Earth Roar's spirit seed shattered, and its life source essence crossed a distance of a hundred meters to flow into Jing Yuan.
Jing Yuan absorbed the life source essence of the Phage Beast on the ground while simultaneously absorbing that of the Earth Roar.
This Phage Beast likely provided the most essence Jing Yuan had absorbed to date.
The distant Earth Roar was completely drained, yet the process here hadn't even finished.
Jing Yuan could feel his Psychokinesis gradually strengthening, eventually breaking through a critical threshold.
A long-awaited subtitle appeared before Jing Yuan's eyes.
[Psychokinesis upgraded to Tier 3!]
[Reward: Matching physical fitness upgraded to Tier 3!]
[Reward: Nine Rivers Blade Technique!]
Jing Yuan glanced at the subtitles, then scanned the surroundings with his Mental Power. After confirming there were no Phage Beasts nearby, a surge of power appeared out of thin air and began to spread throughout his body.
Jing Yuan could clearly feel his bones and muscles becoming stronger.
The entire process lasted for a few minutes, and the surroundings remained quiet throughout.
After the physical fitness upgrade was complete, Jing Yuan picked up the plasma war blade beside him to test it.
Originally a war blade for a gravity body, it was already quite massive for a normal human's size.
With his Tier 2 body, Jing Yuan could use it with ease.
Now that his body had been upgraded to Tier 3, the war blade felt even lighter in his hands.
As Jing Yuan watched himself swing the war blade effortlessly, he suddenly realized something.
Every time his strength increased, it was his Psychokinesis that upgraded first.
Absorbing life source essence primarily boosted Psychokinesis.
Physical strength would also increase, but only slightly.
It was always after Psychokinesis advanced that his body would also advance as a reward.
This resulted in a leap-like increase in Jing Yuan's physical strength every time.
It made it difficult for him to get used to it for a while.
Since there were no Phage Beasts around for the moment, Jing Yuan took the opportunity to review the newly appeared Nine Rivers Blade Technique in his mind.
This Nine Rivers was a weapon mentioned in the previous Psychokinesis Object Manipulation Method; it was a combination of a melee weapon and a Psychokinesis weapon.
It consisted of one main blade and nine auxiliary blades. It could be used for melee combat or long-range attacks, and they could even be combined for joint strikes.
In the Psychokinesis Object Manipulation Method, it only described the use of the Nine Rivers as a Psychokinesis weapon and how to coordinate it while using a war blade.
However, this Nine Rivers Blade Technique focused primarily on melee blade techniques.
Jing Yuan recalled the information from his mind while beginning to practice in reality.
Although Jing Yuan didn't have the Nine Rivers weapon, the principles of blade techniques were similar; he could still perform the set using the plasma war blade.
Jing Yuan began to practice the first form.
The first form of the blade technique was named: Rushing Flow!
When this series of moves was executed, it was like a river opening its gates, with water surging out to form a powerful explosive force and impact.
Although the moves were easy to master, Jing Yuan always felt like something was missing.
Jing Yuan turned around, and several Small Devouring Extremity Beasts suddenly appeared.
"Perfect, I'll use them to test the blade technique."
Holding the war blade, Jing Yuan charged directly at them. The moment he landed, he executed the Rushing Flow combo.
As the combo landed on a Phage Beast, it had no ability to fight back.
For his final strike, Jing Yuan built up momentum and, after locking onto the location of the spirit seed, slashed outward.
The Small Devouring Extremity Beast was instantly split in two.
Jing Yuan's sudden attack caught the Phage Beasts off guard.
The distant Phage Beasts couldn't provide support in time. Only after Jing Yuan had slain that beast did the other five Phage Beasts charge toward him.
Jing Yuan referred to the moves in the blade technique while combining them with his past combat methods.
He moved with ease between two or three Phage Beasts.
Every time Jing Yuan struck, he was sure to wound a Phage Beast.
After Jing Yuan killed another Phage Beast and absorbed its life source essence...
In the distance, where the Earth Vine soared into the sky, a massive figure suddenly emerged.
It had a colossal body and a pair of wings that blotted out the sun.
Chapter 130: Killing the Twin-Jawed Beast
Despite the strange occurrence in the distance, Jing Yuan still needed to deal with the Phage Beasts in front of him.
Facing the Phage Beasts' attacks, he dodged repeatedly and used a Flying Cone to kill another Small Devouring Extremity Beast.
After his Psychokinesis upgraded, the power of the Flying Cone had also increased by a level.
After a few rounds, Jing Yuan easily took down four Phage Beasts.
He used the war blade in his hand to slay the remaining two.
One Phage Beast was killed by decapitation, and Jing Yuan stepped forward to pierce its spirit seed.
After slaying the Phage Beasts, Jing Yuan stood with his war blade and looked into the distance.
That massive figure was so huge that it appeared colossal even from such a distance; he wondered just how big it actually was.
When its wings spread, it reminded Jing Yuan of a saying:
"Its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky!"
Jing Yuan was standing very far away.
Suddenly, he felt that the massive figure in the distance was watching him.
It seemed to have discovered his presence!
At that moment, one word appeared in Jing Yuan's mind: Run!
Whether it was truly looking at him or just his imagination...
Staying here any longer was too dangerous.
Jing Yuan quickly ran back and drove his motorcycle to flee the Ecology Zone.
Halfway there, a giant arm suddenly reached out and blocked Jing Yuan's path.
Jing Yuan reacted quickly, but the motorcycle couldn't. Jing Yuan had no choice but to abandon the vehicle and flee.
The motorcycle was then grabbed by the giant hand.
As the body behind the giant hand slowly emerged, Jing Yuan finally saw clearly that it was a Twin-Jawed Beast.
The human-like face on the tip of the Twin-Jawed Beast's nose looked terrifying, even causing physical discomfort.
It wasn't the first time Jing Yuan had encountered a Twin-Jawed Beast, but it was the first time he was at such close range.
At such a distance, escaping was likely impossible.
Although the Twin-Jawed Beast's body was massive, its speed was not slow.
Back at the spaceship ruins, that Twin-Jawed Beast should have been controlled by Bai Yuekui's subordinates.
Otherwise, it would have been truly difficult for Mark and the others to escape.
The Twin-Jawed Beast smashed the motorcycle onto the ground, and Jing Yuan's mode of transport instantly turned into a pile of scrap metal.
Jing Yuan was furious. He used Psychokinesis to make the motorcycle fly up, spin 360 degrees, and smash heavily into the Twin-Jawed Beast's face.
However, a mere motorcycle had no effect on the Twin-Jawed Beast.
After throwing the motorcycle, Jing Yuan quickly grabbed his war blade and rushed toward the Twin-Jawed Beast's hind limbs.
Phage Beasts usually have six legs, but the Twin-Jawed Beast's hind legs are curled up against its abdomen and are basically unused; it uses its middle limbs as hind legs.
Jing Yuan held the plasma war blade.
He was fast and small. Moving under the Twin-Jawed Beast's belly, the beast couldn't attack him at all.
Jing Yuan swung his blade and sliced off the Twin-Jawed Beast's hind limbs.
As the Twin-Jawed Beast began to teeter, Jing Yuan rushed to the other side and slashed another leg.
Consequently, the Twin-Jawed Beast instantly collapsed to the ground.
Jing Yuan quickly ran out from under the Twin-Jawed Beast's body.
He controlled the scale disk to fly under his feet.
Now that his Psychokinesis had upgraded to Tier 3, his ability to manipulate objects had become even stronger.
