Chapter 394: Leaving a Name on the Monument
Liu Yu moved his palm and accurately caught the half-damaged, yellowed ancient book, examining it closely in his hands.
On the cover of the ancient book, four large characters were inscribed in a flamboyant style, clearly showing the passage of time and the long history it carried.
"Could this be the evasion technique the woman used earlier?"
Liu Yu's heart stirred. The evasion technique used by Zhuo Mengzhen in their earlier duel had left a deep impression on him.
This technique could instantly unleash a rapid movement, allowing the user to cover a large distance and evade impending danger, making it exceedingly practical.
In a moment of crisis, it might just save one’s life and transform peril into safety.
Thinking of this, he felt tempted, yet he maintained a calm expression as he quietly flipped through the ancient book.
Zhuo Mengzhen stood with her arms crossed, not urging him, clearly confident in her technique.
Liu Yu read with incredible speed, flipping through the pages of the "Flash Spirit Secret Technique."
Before long, he finished scanning the first few pages and had a general understanding of its efficacy.
Unlike most secret techniques, this one operated on the physical body.
It primarily consumed physical vitality and stamina, requiring only a minimal amount of magical power to guide and restrain the effect.
The "Flash Spirit Secret Technique" compressed the body in a special way, allowing it to operate under extreme overload, enabling speeds multiple times greater than usual.
"This secret technique demands a high level of physical strength and vitality."
"It doesn't resemble an orthodox law cultivation technique; instead, it resembles a mundane martial skill, yet it is countless times more refined."
"It seems particularly well-suited for cultivators with strong physical bodies, especially body cultivators."
"This 'Flash Spirit Secret Technique' appears to align well with me!"
As he scanned through, Liu Yu gradually entertained some strange thoughts, and his heart filled with joy.
Having consumed the "Dragon Blood Fruit" for many years, although his physical strength was still inferior to body cultivators, he believed that in terms of vitality, he was likely not much worse than a second-tier body cultivator.
After all, who could consume the "Dragon Blood Fruit" as frequently as he did?
These decades of consumption meant that although he appeared similar to ordinary cultivators on the surface, beneath his seemingly ordinary physique lay a surging vitality.
He had already laid a solid foundation for future dual cultivation of law and body.
Liu Yu hid this well, always using the concealment technique to suppress his vitality fluctuations, preventing other cultivators from discovering anything amiss.
However, those who had engaged in "intimate exchanges" with him, like Jiang Qiushui and Ji Ruyan, had begun to sense something.
The "Flash Spirit Secret Technique," which emphasized physical vitality, was indeed very compatible with him.
With the robust and vigorous vitality within him, it could yield remarkable results at critical moments, serving as a trump card.
With such thoughts, Liu Yu made a decision and developed a strong desire to acquire it.
But on the surface, he maintained an indifferent demeanor to prevent the other party from raising the price, stating:
"As law cultivators, we focus primarily on magical power and primordial spirit, which is why we are historically referred to as 'Qi Refiners.' We have always been at a disadvantage in physical strength."
"This technique consumes vitality to activate, and the burden on the body is too great; its flaws make it somewhat redundant."
"In comparison to the value of the purple copper mine, it truly pales in comparison!"
With his vast knowledge, he could naturally discern the practicality of this technique; it should not be false.
However, regarding the details, he was unsure if there had been any omissions.
Zhuo Mengzhen frowned slightly upon hearing this, her ruby lips curling into a cold smile:
