Li Mu held a scroll made of tanned human skin, covered in small writing and drawings done in tattoo style.
This was the energy technique passed down within the Soul Sect, the White Bone Hidden Energy.
He compared the differences between the White Bone Hidden Energy and the White Steel Broken Stream energy. He found that the fundamental difference between the two techniques lay in the direction of the psychic energy.
The White Steel Broken Stream energy advocates the use of psychic energy along the muscles.
The triceps, quadriceps, adductor group of the thigh, internal and external obliques of the abdomen, the contralateral erector spinae, the deltoid and anterior deltoid, and the triceps brachii muscle.
Psychic energy flows along the muscles used to throw a punch, not only doubling the strength to twenty times, but also increasing the speed of muscle contraction. A sudden burst of strength results in a punch like thunder, and the enemy cannot react before the force hits them.
Li Mu was able to kill Chewba with one strike before he could even react, thanks to the extreme explosive power of the White Steel Broken Stream energy.
The White Bone Hidden Energy, on the other hand, advocates using psychic energy along the bones.
The bones of the toes, ankles, fibula, patella, pelvic girdle, vertebral column, upper limb bone, humerus, and forearm bones.
Psychic energy flows through the bones, and while it doesn’t enhance strength as much as the muscles, it greatly increases the destructive power of psychic energy itself. As long as it hits the enemy, the destructive psychic energy can rush into their body along the point of contact, severing their muscles and destroying their internal organs.
Unfortunately, Chewba was defeated in their battle without even touching Li Mu, so he didn’t have a chance to unleash the full power of the White Bone Hidden Energy.
Two different techniques, one focusing on physical body with psychic energy as a supplement, the other focusing on psychic energy with physical body as a supplement. Each has its own emphasis.
The other holy relics were of the Pale Soul Fire of the Shaper System and the Insect Control Techniques of the Manipulation System.
“Can these two techniques be practiced together?”
Li Mu asked.
“Is psychic energy such a cumbersome thing? energy technique is only a way of manipulating psychic energy. Does it mean that if psychic energy flows along the muscles, it can’t flow along the bones anymore?”
Shen Luoyan said.
“As long as your talent is strong enough, practicing five or six techniques at once is easy. But if you’re a mediocre talent, mastering one technique is already like climbing a mountain, let alone practicing other techniques.”
“Among the energy techniques, there are also those that focus on the skin, using psychic energy to stir up the muscles around the body, providing diamond-like defense. Even the direct fire of a heavy machine gun is like child’s play. There are also those that focus on blood vessels, flowing along the blood vessels around the body, providing endless stamina and astonishing recovery. Legend has it that some geniuses in East Xia can practice multiple energy techniques and switch between them freely during battle, or even practice them together.”
Shen Luoyan said.
In contrast to Xingdu’s disdainful attitude towards awakened enhancers, East Xia highly values them.
East Xia’s famous Dragon Roar Iron Cloth is the top-tier energy technique that all awakened enhancers dream of.
“I see.”
Li Mu put away these psychic scrolls. Compared to White Steel Broken Stream energy, the Bone Hidden Energy that focuses on the skeleton is simpler to cultivate. He only took a few glances, but had already gained some insights.
After looting the secret vault, he packed up and took away everything from the library, the material warehouse, and the weapon warehouse of the monastery. He even took the generator and cables in the power room.
The entire monastery was emptied by him, leaving only the empty rock walls.
Arriving at the cave with the key to the door, Li Mu poured a bucket of water over the cultist.
Osmond shuddered and woke up immediately. He looked at Li Mu with a pale face, realizing what had happened.
He had been fooled like a fool and had let the invaders infiltrate the monastery.
“Now you want to escape, it’s too late. The Blood Snake cultists won’t let you go!”
“Are you talking about Goss? He’s dead, everyone in the monastery is dead, except for you.”
Li Mu said.
“No… this can’t be… how could the Blood Snake cultists be defeated by you!”
Osmond said hysterically.
“If you don’t believe it, then shout. Even if you shout until your voice is hoarse, no one will come.”
Li Mu’s fearless attitude made Osmond feel cold.
“Haha, it seems like you want to sacrifice yourself for the Soul Cult, but in the eyes of the Soul Cult, you, the cultist who let us in, are the real traitor.”
Li Mu grabbed his hair and lifted him up.
“You think the Soul Cult will handle you? You are a rare material. The Soul Cult will implant a soul worm in you, and you should be familiar with the process. The soul worm will burrow into your brain, devouring your soul. Then your self-awareness will change, your will completely extinguished, turning into a blood beast that only knows to fight for the Soul Cult.”
Osmond was trembling violently. As a cultist, he certainly knew that what Li Mu said was not a lie.
Even when he was still a reserve cultist, he assisted the Blood Snake cultists in conducting such experiments. The tragic state of those experimental subjects almost naturally appeared in his mind without the need for a meeting.
“So, now we are on the same side. Let us out, friend, and we can attract most of the Soul Cult’s attention for you. As long as you escape from the Avonigarda Province, the Soul Cult will never find you.”
Osmond hesitated for a moment, then nodded painfully.
“Good, I like smart people like you.”
Li Mu patted his shoulder hard, then waved towards the cavern, and the bodies of several armed cultists and reserve cultists appeared on the ground.
Osmond swallowed hard. From so many bodies, he knew that the monastery had suffered heavy losses, and these four people were still walking around here, the result was predictable.
Li Mu hid blocks of high-energy explosives under the bodies, installed detonators, and tied them together with thin threads.
As long as someone touches these bodies later, all the high-energy explosives will be detonated.
“Let’s go.”
Li Mu put his hand on Osmond’s neck.
“O-okay.”
Osmond nodded painfully and used psychic power to activate the key of the door. Everyone present felt dizzy and suddenly appeared on the edge of the giant rock.
Before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, there was a cracking sound, and Li Mu directly snapped Osmond’s neck.
Laji, holding the baby, was startled, swaying back and forth. He thought Li Mu was going to kill him right away.
“Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. You can go.”
Li Mu said.
Laji carefully handed the baby to Li Mu, and left with one step and three glances, fearing that Li Mu would shoot him from behind.
