Extreme Spirit Chaos Technique

After tossing out those words, Mo Qing quickly shut her window. Then came the sound of her curtains being drawn. Utterly baffled, Mu Chen had no idea what had just happened. Shaking his head, Mu Chen closed his window as well and headed into his private bathroom to undress and wash up.

Meanwhile, after entering her room, Mo Qing pressed a hand to her cheek and chided herself, ’Mo Qing, oh, Mo Qing, how could you lose your composure in front of him?’ After muttering to herself, she also walked into her bathroom...

In the bathroom, Mu Chen had already put the earlier incident out of his mind. He was happily playing with the Snow Qilin, and it wasn’t until the bathwater had turned cold that he finally lifted the reluctant creature out of the tub.

"WHIMPER... WHIMPER!"

The Snow Qilin cried out in protest, but when Mu Chen unceremoniously tossed it onto the bed like a ball, the little fellow instantly fell in love with the large bed covered in Snow Floss. The sheets and quilts on this bed were all made of top-grade Snow Floss. What is Snow Floss? It’s a material exclusively used by the Royal Family! You’re probably wondering why such a thick, fluffy quilt would be on a bed during the scorching summer.

That’s because you’ve never seen a material like Snow Floss. Its full name is Red Flame Snow Mink fur. This type of Red Flame Snow Mink lives year-round in harsh environments like frozen, snowy lands or Underground Flame Caves. Its adaptability is incredible, but that doesn’t mean its strength matches its fame. On the contrary, they are mostly harmless second or third-level Magical Beasts.

However, catching them is extremely difficult for the average person. The scorching heat and extreme cold of their habitats are enough to deter a great number of low-level Martial Artists. Even high-level Martial Artists find them incredibly hard to track. One moment you might spot one in a frost-covered snowfield, and the next, it could have already burrowed deep into the magma underground.

How do they survive these extreme shifts in temperature? It’s all thanks to their pure white fur! This fur has a wondrous property: when the ambient temperature is high, it automatically absorbs Ice Attribute Elemental Power from the air to cool itself to a comfortable, ideal temperature. Conversely, when the environment is cold, the fur absorbs Fire Attribute Primordial Qi from the air to warm itself to that same ideal temperature.

This special effect doesn’t disappear when the Red Flame Snow Mink dies. The property remains within the fur, which is what makes it so incredibly valuable.

’I can’t believe the Imperial Academy went to such lengths, using such a precious material for student bedding.’

Mu Chen sighed in admiration and lay down on the bed. The moment his back touched the sheets, a cool sensation spread through him, and a feeling of complete comfort washed over his entire body.

’The effect is just as the rumors described.’

Glancing at the Snow Qilin, which had already fallen asleep in comfort beside him, Mu Chen smiled faintly and sat up. With a flick of his wrist, a dark red scroll appeared in his hand. Two furious, crimson words were written on the scroll: "Blast Fist."

This Blast Fist was the very same red Combat Skill scroll Mufeng had taken from the Cave of Ten Thousand Bones. Mufeng had forced it on Mu Chen the night before he left. If Mu Chen hadn’t repeatedly refused and finally brought out Broken Star, Mufeng would have even given him the cicada-wing-thin sword, Broken Water. Initially, Mu Chen didn’t want the Blast Fist scroll either, but he finally accepted it after Mufeng told him that the family had already made several copies.

He gently unrolled the Blast Fist scroll. A script with a ferocious and wild aura appeared before him. This Blast Fist was a High-grade Profound Rank Combat Skill created by a person named Falling Flame. From its description, it was clear that this was a technique focused on follow-up attacks.

So-called follow-up attacks are Combat Skills where the special effects generated after the initial strike are more powerful. Examples include Dark Force, power-stacking, and paralysis—all are types of follow-up attack techniques.

Blast Fist was no exception. Once mastered, a single punch would carry a massive amount of Blazing Elemental Power. When this Primordial Power collided with an opponent’s body or something close to them, it would leave behind a condensed mass of Blazing Elemental Power. The moment this mass was separated from the Blast Fist user, it would immediately explode with astonishingly lethal force!

However, this immense destructive power was a double-edged sword. If used carelessly, the violent explosion wouldn’t care if you were its master; it would engulf you in the blast as well. Therefore, the scroll mentioned several important restrictions: "Use with caution if you do not possess great strength. Use with caution if you are not a Fire Attribute Martial Artist. Use with caution if you do not have a robust physique."

Sufficient strength would allow you to send your opponent flying the moment you used Blast Fist, ensuring the resulting explosion wouldn’t affect you. A Fire Attribute Martial Artist wouldn’t be seriously injured even if they were caught in the blast, provided their Fire Attribute was stronger than the opponent’s; otherwise, Blast Fist wouldn’t be very effective. A robust physique meant that even if you lacked strength and weren’t a Fire Attribute Martial Artist, you could choose to withstand the explosion head-on, like a practitioner of the Seven Injuries Fist, as long as you believed the damage to your opponent would be greater than the damage to yourself.

After reading these requirements, the first person Mu Chen thought of who could use it was, of course, himself. Great strength? He wouldn’t call his strength ’great’, but it should be enough to meet the requirement. (Ruo Yu Suifeng: Can you not be so modest?) A Fire Attribute Martial Artist? He was a Nine-Attribute Martial Artist and could cultivate any Combat Skill he wished, so this point was also met. Of course, when it came to the strength of his Fire Attribute, Mu Chen felt a little ashamed. Other than his Ice Attribute, he rarely used any of his other attributes. The reason was simple: any attribute without Ultimate Power was considered the lowest grade. Even if he used them, he wouldn’t necessarily be any stronger than a Martial Artist who specialized in that attribute. So, Mu Chen simply chose to hide them, waiting until he had collected their respective Extreme Attributes before integrating and using them.

’However...’ Mu Chen rolled up the Blast Fist scroll and said thoughtfully, ’if Little Tiger were to use this Combat Skill, his combat power probably wouldn’t be much less than my own.’

Little Tiger also met two of the three conditions. First, strength. Given Little Tiger’s Innate Divine Power, his future achievements in strength would be no less than his own. Moreover, his was the freakish kind of talent that grew stronger with his Martial Artist Realm without requiring much effort. Second, physical toughness. As an Earth Attribute Martial Artist, known for their resilience, Little Tiger’s physical durability was definitely greater than his own. Therefore, this Combat Skill was also perfectly suited for Little Tiger.

With that thought, Mu Chen had already made up his mind...

With a thought, Mu Chen took a blank scroll out of his ring. These were daily necessities, so of course he carried a few with him. Unfurling the scroll, he extended his index finger, and Primordial Power quickly enveloped its tip. His finger descended swiftly, dancing across the scroll with the fluid grace of a master calligrapher. Writing with his left hand was a special skill Mu Chen had practiced for eleven years. Now, he could use his left hand just as well as his right. The only lamentable fact was that Mu Chen wasn’t left-handed; the strength and dexterity of his left hand were far inferior to his right. If he had his right arm, Mu Chen’s strength would absolutely increase by at least thirty percent.

Writing with Primordial Power was a skill that every Martial Artist on the Extreme Martial Continent could use. The lengthy Combat Skill was quickly copied under Mu Chen’s fingertip. He let out a light breath and chuckled, "Haven’t written in three years. Looks like I haven’t gotten too rusty."

He looked down. The script on the scroll was nothing short of a masterpiece. It wasn’t flamboyant, but it had its own distinct, complete style. When a calligrapher develops their own system, their skill can be considered to have reached the pinnacle of perfection. It was hard to imagine that such masterful calligraphy could come from a boy of only fourteen, and written with his left hand at that. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

With a faint smile, Mu Chen put away both scrolls and lay on his side. He began to mentally simulate the attack patterns and Primordial Power circulation of Blast Fist. Soon, a figure materialized deep within his mind. The appearance of this figure startled Mu Chen for a moment. It was a white silhouette, and at its heart was the very same Extreme Spirit Pearl that had been residing in his mind all this time!

This figure had manifested based on Mu Chen’s own mental simulation. It first performed a set of Blast Fist moves exactly as Mu Chen had envisioned, producing considerable power. Just as Mu Chen was watching, captivated, the Extreme Spirit Pearl suddenly spun once. The white figure instantly returned to its starting point. Its posture had changed slightly from Mu Chen’s simulation, and even the way its Primordial Power circulated was noticeably different.

’What’s it doing?’

Mu Chen wondered in his mind, but his focus didn’t waver in the slightest as he intently watched the figure’s every move. When the figure executed this new version of Blast Fist, Mu Chen was stunned. The power of this punch was much weaker than his version. But what truly shocked him was that when the punch landed, the resulting explosion didn’t radiate outward from the point of impact. Instead, it erupted outward from the fist like a scattered blast.

This method of attack undoubtedly reduced the raw destructive power, but it solved Blast Fist’s greatest flaw—the risk of the user being injured by the blast—and it also expanded the area of attack. Mu Chen was overjoyed to have gained this technique. He never imagined the Extreme Spirit Pearl had such an ability, to be able to extrapolate and improve upon a concept like this. It seemed the title of Chaos Supreme Treasure was well-earned.

He quickly withdrew his consciousness from his mind, threw on his clothes, and opened the door to the training room. The key for the bedroom also opened the training room, so every student had their own private space for practice. Mu Chen opened the door and stepped inside, only to find it strange that, aside from being a huge, empty space, there was nothing else in the room.

However, he could feel powerful Elemental Power Light Screen Barriers on the surrounding walls. The energy these barriers emanated definitely surpassed that of a Martial Arts Master. They were clearly meant for students to test the power of their Combat Skills. It seemed the academy really had put a great deal of thought into nurturing talent.

When he closed the door, the room suddenly flashed with light. White brilliance completely enveloped the four walls, looking just like a barrier. Only then did Mu Chen realize his initial assessment was wrong. Because the door had been open, the barrier had been incomplete. Now that the barrier had formed a complete seal, Mu Chen could feel its true capacity—it could withstand a Martial Emperor! It could absolutely take a full-powered strike from a Martial Emperor.
