My front door leads to a comic strip

Chapter 109, 108: Mastering the Ultimate Skill, the Quadrilateral Warrior

In the dim forest, Gu Yuan, expressionless, used a water-summoning spell to carefully wash away the blood and flesh residue remaining between his fingers. Having lived in this world for a year, life-and-death battles had become the norm.

Without realizing it, he had become accustomed to crushing any trouble he encountered with the most direct and violent means.

Although subconsciously I felt this wasn't a long-term solution, I had to admit it was indeed a straightforward and effective method.

"The scum should be cleaned up now; no one has ever seen my face."

Gu Yuan murmured to himself, his voice calm and even.

He carefully examined his surroundings to make sure no traces were left. "Battle aura is different from magic power. Its source cannot be traced through its aura. At most, one can only roughly judge my level by its degree of solidification."

"And my cultivation speed far exceeds that of ordinary people."

He smiled slightly. "Now, no one should know that those three martial arts manuals ended up in my hands."

Gu Yuan was unsure whether those schools still had disciples, so concealing his identity was necessary to avoid being hunted down by other schools in the future.

This world is a complex place; caution is always the best policy.

The forest light was dim. After thoroughly washing his hands, Gu Yuan sat down on the large rock next to him and took out the three scrolls from his bosom. As he stroked the surface of the scrolls and looked at the three words "Dimensional Slash," a hint of eagerness flashed in his eyes.

Whether or not he was deceived by the name, he was eager to see just how powerful this technique really was.

As it turned out, he was not disappointed.

The scroll begins by stating that this is a martial art that pursues the ultimate in cutting, from cutting water and iron rocks, all the way to cutting wind and thunder, and light and shadow, with the ultimate goal of cutting through the void.

Gu Yuan's gaze lingered on the two characters "断空" (Duan Kong), his pupils slightly contracting.

He immediately understood where the translation came from.

In Japan, "danku" means to sever space or cut off nothingness.

All things are slain.

It's not surprising that such a profound artistic conception would be used directly as the name of a martial arts technique to attract practitioners.

"The key to this martial art lies in providing a conceptual framework for severing space and a method for circulating battle qi."

"Next, I will verify these concepts to supplement my understanding of the 'cutting' magic in reverse."

"Ultimately, the concepts of 'severing the elements' and 'severing space' will be transformed from 'belief' into 'reality.'"

Gu Yuan nodded slightly. Thanks to his special background, his understanding of magic far surpassed that of ordinary magicians.

Cutting through space involves influencing space itself through magic.

This is not matter that can be cut by "touching". When he makes a slash in front of him, he is only cutting through the air.

It requires repeated "brainwashing" to "materialize" the space and make oneself believe it without a doubt.

This is not something that can be achieved overnight.

Fortunately, there are two other martial arts manuals that can immediately improve my strength.

Earth Shatter - Wave Slash

Tenchō - Instant Flash Strike

I quickly flipped through it.

Ok.

These are much easier to learn than Dimension Slash.

One is to distort the fluctuations of fighting spirit, thereby creating a high-frequency cutting effect that can even tear the earth apart.

One method is to compress battle qi, concentrating the power into a single point and releasing it instantly, thus creating an ultimate penetrating effect.

Both were ranged attacks, which reminded Gu Yuan of a certain famous move.

"These are all good things; once cut open, the magic cannot leave the body."

"If I encounter a demon with a strong physique that cannot even be breached by a sealed mine, these two martial arts techniques can make up for my lack of ranged attacks."

The divine sword offered extreme weight and close-range destructive power, and now the ultimate ranged attack method has also been acquired.

What's still lacking is ultimate defense.

"Time is of the essence; we can't afford to delay any longer."

Gu Yuan composed himself. "If we deal with Solitaire, there's no guarantee that other demons won't track us down. We must improve our strength as soon as possible."

He focused intently on reading the text on the scroll, and his internal fighting spirit began to adjust accordingly.

He casually picked up a withered leaf at his feet, and tried to condense a wisp of fighting spirit that vibrated in a specific way at his fingertips, giving it a gentle tremor.

Swing it out!

Swoosh! The withered leaves were instantly torn to shreds by an invisible force.

Almost simultaneously, a soft sound came from a tree trunk not far ahead, revealing a deep, serrated cut about an inch deep.

"interesting."

Although he couldn't fully control the power, he was able to simulate the effect of high-frequency cutting on his first attempt, which shows that the operating philosophy of this martial art is quite compatible with him.

Gu Yuan calmed down and tried again and again, constantly fine-tuning the frequency and output of his battle qi, carefully experiencing the subtle fluctuations and changes.

As the sun set, Gu Yuan picked up a whole leaf again, held his breath, and flicked it lightly with his fingertips.

!

An invisible wave swept across, snapping more than ten trees in front of them! The wood fibers at the break points showed clear traces of high-frequency vibrations.

Gu Yuan's lips curled up slightly: "Hmm, not bad. Getting started isn't difficult, but to reach the level of tearing the earth apart, you need a massive amount of practice and a more refined control over your battle qi."

"Next comes the meticulous work of refining the process, continuously increasing the intensity, distance, and frequency of the cuts."

He loosened his grip and was about to pick up another scroll when he suddenly looked at the sky.

After a moment's thought and confirming that there was nothing else amiss, he disappeared into the depths of the dense forest in a few leaps and bounds, heading swiftly towards the capital.

Crows cawed as Gu Yuan returned to his residence. He had moved out of the palace and bought a two-story villa in the center of the capital.

The moment he pushed open the door, the warm light and familiar surroundings relaxed his tense nerves. Then he saw a kitten doing somersaults in mid-air in the living room.

"?"

blinked.

You must have misread it.

Take a step back.

close the door.

After a three-second pause, it was pushed away again.

The scene remains unchanged.

"you--·

Millie Alder turned her head at the sound, and her fingers stopped.

The kitten immediately meowed and fell from mid-air, which she caught and gently placed back on the ground.

Seemingly aware of what Gu Yuan wanted to ask, Milie Alde explained:

"You're back. This is a trick that uses wind power to temporarily levitate small creatures."

"Miss Celia is stuck on the construction of the gravity magic spell and can't figure it out for the time being."

"So I'll demonstrate another application of wind magic, hoping to give her some inspiration."

Gu Yuan stepped into the house and nodded: "Oh, I see."

Weird.

In my memory, wind magic that can make objects float usually shapes them into forms like wings.

Although it is uncommon, it is at least intuitive.

This kind of intangible and formless direct lifting is more inclined towards the power of thought itself.

Thinking about this...

"...Do you need me to give you some pointers?" he asked casually.

Celia immediately turned her face away: "I don't want you meddling in my business."

Gu Yuan chuckled lightly, not pressuring him.

Perhaps he'll "accidentally" reveal some of his thoughts when he's in a better mood.

But now, it's good to let this stubborn "little girl" run into some more obstacles.

He turned and walked towards the cultivation room. He had gained a lot today and it was worth digesting it properly.
