Chapter 833: The Terror of Ten Times Perception

“Haha, I shall try then. They say that the Mystic Deep Sword Saint is the no.1 mid-level saint. I, Zhu Nanshan, don’t believe it.” Zhu Nanshan laughed heartily and was surging with battle intent.
There were several strength levels among mid-level saints.
Mid-level saints that didn’t comprehend apex martial arts were the weakest and weren’t worth mentioning.
Next up were mid-level saints with unrated, 3rd rate, and 2nd rate apex martial arts.
The former two were rather powerful, but the latter could be described as invincible. Both Zhu Nanshan and the Mystic Deep Sword Saint already comprehended 2nd rate apex sword arts.
As for mid-level saints that comprehended 1st rate apex martial arts, none had appeared in the history of the Saint Spirit Continent, not even on the entire Deep Blue Plane.
But in the Zhu Clan’s records, there was a mid-level saint that comprehended a 1st rate apex martial art, but that mid-level saint wasn’t from the Deep Blue Plane.
“The Green Flame Saint is going against the Mystic Deep Sword Saint.”
“I wonder who is superior?”
“It is hard to say. The Green Flame Saint’s Green Flame Sword Art is extremely tyrannical and once turned a mid-level saint into ashes in a single sword move. The Mystic Deep Sword Saint’s Mystic Deep Sword Art is able to freeze everything. One flame and one ice, they are truly on two extreme ends.”
The Thunder Beast caused a massive commotion when evolving and attracted most of the saints in the Wind Cloud City.
“I too want to experience the strength of the Zhu Clan’s prodigious saint.” The Mystic Deep Sword Saint’s eyes turned stern. The mystic deep sword field spread out and the void froze.
People who were weak would be immediately frozen and immobilized by the Mystic Deep Sword Saint’s mystic deep sword field. However, Zhu Nanshan was obviously an exception. His green flame sword field was expanding and the void was bursting with green flames. It didn’t allow the mystic deep sword field to progress any further.
Clang!
Zhu Nanshan and the Mystic Deep Sword Saint clashed.
The two swords made contact and there was an explosion of green flames and ice fragments.
One hour later…
Boom!
Green sparks were bursting everywhere and Zhu Nanshan was sent flying.
In terms of sword arts, the Mystic Deep Sword Saint was still superior. Of course, this was only a contest of sword art, if it was a contest of overall strength, there wouldn’t be any opponent for Zhu Nanshan among the mid-level saints. It was said that Zhu Nanshan possessed a 1st rate apex cardinal artifact and once he used it, even a high-level saint wouldn’t be a match.
But Zhu Nanshan didn’t want to be embarrassed. If he borrowed strength from external power, he would be admitting that he was inferior to the Mystic Deep Sword Saint.
“It seems like the Mystic Deep Sword Saint is stronger, no wonder he is the no.1 mid-level saint of the Saint Spirit Continent.”
“If it is purely in terms of martial art proficiency, only a few high-level saints would be able to compare with the Mystic Deep Sword Saint.”
The saints that were hidden in the vicinity were having heated discussions.
“Mystic Deep Sword Saint, I admit that your sword art is stronger than me by a little, but so what?”
Zhu Nanshan revealed an awl that was filled with ancient fire patterns. With a wave of his hand, countless awl-shaped flames were shot at the Mystic Deep Sword Saint.
Bang Bang Bang Bang…
Ice fragments burst out frenziedly and the Mystic Deep Sword Saint constantly stepped back.
The power of a 1st rate apex cardinal artifact was too powerful. Even Zhu Nanshan wasn’t able to utilize its full strength, but it was already more than what the Mystic Deep Sword Saint could withstand.
Just as the Mystic Deep Sword Saint was going to be defeated and injured, a sword qi dispersed all the awl-shaped flames.
“Zhu Nanshan, this place isn’t a playground for your Zhu Clan, get out.” From the void, the Phenomenon Sword Saint walked out.
The moment the Phenomenon Sword Saint appeared, all the hidden saints were gasping. Unless the Zhu Clan’s no.1 ancestor was here, otherwise, no one would be a match against the Phenomenon Sword Saint alone.
“The mountain might not turn, but the roads turn. Phenomenon Sword Saint, I shall give you face.”
Zhu Nanshan was extremely gloomy. To be truthful, if he risked his life, he might not lose to the Phenomenon Sword Saint, but he wasn’t confident to fight against the Phenomenon Sword Saint and the Mystic Deep Sword Saint at the same time.
There was a burst of green flame and Zhu Nanshan vanished.
“This Zhu Nanshan isn’t easy to deal with.” The Phenomenon Sword Saint lamented.
The Mystic Deep Sword Saint nodded, “The Zhu Clan’s foundation is deep and strong. No one knows of the true trump card of the Zhu Clan’s saints until the last moment.”
In terms of revealed strength, the Zhu Clan wouldn’t even rank top three in the Saint Spirit Continent. Be it the Swordsmen Guild or the Sacred Saber Sect, they were both superior to the Zhu Clan. But the Zhu Clan’s foundation could make anyone change their expressions. The Zhu Clan’s base, the Fire God Mountain was known to be impregnable. The Zhu Clan once offended a saint, but even after withstanding the attacks of the saint for a month, the Zhu Clan’s array didn’t break. The saint had no choice but to leave with anger.
“Elder Li is too good at inviting troubles. Even the Zhu Clan is targeting him. What a headache!” The Phenomenon Sword Saint patted on his forehead.
The Mystic Deep Sword Saint said, “No matter what, Elder Li is our Swordsmen Guild’s main elder. I hope that Zhu Clan will not go overboard.”
“They wouldn’t dare to do things openly, but they would not be so nice in the dark. For the next few years, make sure Elder Li and his friends remain in the Wind Cloud City.”
The Phenomenon Sword Saint wasn’t always in the Wind Cloud City as he would visit other high-class continents and would also fly out of the Deep Blue Plane to explore the vicinity. Therefore, he wouldn’t be able to protect Li Fuchen at all times.
“I understand.” The Mystic Deep Sword Saint nodded.
With the commotion over, the hidden saints left one after the other.
“It seems like I have to increase my strength as quickly as possible.”
Li Fuchen might be in seclusion, but the commotion of the Thunder Beast’s evolution was too prominent. It wasn’t possible for Li Fuchen not to know. He had hid his qi presence and followed over secretly.
Earlier on, Li Fuchen was already prepared to make his move.
After letting out a breath of relief, Li Fuchen returned to the Wind Cloud City.
…
As time elapsed, it was already half a month since the Thunder Beast evolved to a beast overlord.
“7th rank of Primary Extreme Sword Technique.”
On this day, Li Fuchen finally created the 7th rank of the Primary Extreme Sword Technique.”
Li Fuchen had simplified the old Primary Extreme Sword Technique. Every six ranks had been simplified to one rank, simplifying 42 ranks would make 7 ranks.
Just as Li Fuchen’s planned, the 7th rank of the Primary Extreme Sword Technique contained two more human body mysteries. In total, 7 ranks of the Primary Extreme Sword Technique contained eight human body mysteries and was two more than the Skyless Sword Tiger Technique.
“Next up is the 8th rank.”
The 7th rank of the Primary Extreme Sword Technique was already limitlessly close to apex. Due to the involvement of eight human body mysteries, the sword energy cultivated was several times stronger than the 42nd rank of the old Primary Extreme Sword Technique. According to Li Fuchen’s plan, the 8th rank would be the apex state. He hoped to cover all the human body mysteries into this rank.
“I will need at least a few months to create the 8th rank of the Primary Extreme Sword Technique if I rely on myself. But with the Black Whirlpool Fruit, it should be much faster!”
Inside the secret room, Li Fuchen turned his hand and a whirlpool-shaped black fruit appeared on his hand.
This was the authentic Black Whirlpool Fruit and it could increase the perception by ten times.
Without any hesitation, Li Fuchen consumed the entire Black Whirlpool Fruit.
The Black Whirlpool Fruit melted once consumed and turned into a black illusory current that rushed to the mind. Immediately after, a black whirlpool was formed in his mind.
The black whirlpool was like the starry river in the universe. It was filled with dreamy colors and gradually took shape. Li Fuchen felt his thoughts were getting faster and was increasing with rapid speed.
Two times, three times…
In just a short moment, Li Fuchen’s thoughts were thinking five times faster than before.
It meant that if he was pondering a question, he would only need to use 20% of the time that was originally required.
“My deductions in the past were correct. Perception is a kind of thought process, but it is a non-linear thought process and isn’t limited.”
Li Fuchen was in contemplation.
Eight times…
Ten times.
When the thought process was hastened ten times, the black whirlpool was formed completely.
Without wasting any time, Li Fuchen immediately started to create the 8th rank of the Primary Extreme Sword Technique.
“So fast!”
Li Fuchen might be mentally prepared, but creation speed was so fast that Li Fuchen still gasped for cold air.
Ten times the speed of the thought process might seem to only increase the efficiency by ten times, but the most crucial thing was the non-linear thought process increasing by ten times the speed too. It meant that a single non-linear thought process’s efficiency could be increased by several times. Therefore, when all combined together, the increase in efficiency was simply immeasurable.
