The armor, known as Xunuo, mimicked the style of an earlier piece. The only difference was that the chest and back plates were forged separately and then merged into a single unit, rather than being made as separate pieces. This design made the Armor Artifact smoother and more seamless, allowing it to naturally deflect most attacks and significantly enhancing its defensive capabilities.
Xunuo looked at the Armor Artifact on his body, nodding repeatedly. It was no wonder that the Black Faced Refiner had developed ulterior motives.
Suddenly, Xunuo raised a hand, and a Heavenly Shadow Spike appeared in the air, instantly shooting towards him. With a sharp sound, the Heavenly Shadow Spike grazed the Armor Artifact, leaving only a piercing noise behind. This outcome surprised Xunuo; it was unexpected that it could deflect an attack from a physical artifact.
Xunuo raised his hand again, sending Six Heavenly Shadow Darts flying in six different directions simultaneously. Amidst several sharp sounds, only two distinct clinks were heard as they struck the Armor Artifact. Looking down, Xunuo saw that only two white marks remained on the Armor Artifact, which vanished with a swipe—remarkably, it showed no signs of damage.
Xunuo silently chanted a spell, and soon over ten large Thunder Balls came crashing down. However, before they could touch the Armor Artifact, they all bounced off with diminished power.
With a flick of his wrist, the Armor Artifact vanished with a whoosh and transformed into a bracelet that fitted snugly around Xunuo's wrist. He glanced at it and smiled with satisfaction, giving this magical item a resounding name: Thunderproof Armored Shell.
In the following days, Xunuo focused on deepening his Spell cultivation in preparation for the Red Flower Path Arena Tournament. He first took out two new Spells he had acquired—one from Ni Bingmo and another from an elder of a Cultivation Family at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
The Spell obtained from Ni Bingmo was naturally the Divine Sense attack Spell that had brought him fame. This Divine Sense attack Spell was also an unexpected find for Ni Bingmo, written on an unknown Beast Skin. Additionally, there was a jade slip recording Ni Bingmo's research insights on this Spell.
Xunuo spent an entire day studying the Beast Skin and jade slip. After finishing, he couldn't help but shed tears.
The Beast Skin measured two feet long and over one foot wide and had existed for countless years. Although it was undamaged, the writing on it had become blurred and difficult to read. Most of the text had faded away; less than thirty percent of the entire Beast Skin still bore legible writing. What frustrated Xunuo even more was that even in the areas where he could make out some text, he could decipher less than half of it.
The Spell recorded on this Beast Skin held no value for Xunuo because he lacked the ability to restore it.
However, Ni Bingmo clearly put a lot of effort into this. As for Xunuo, even with all his hard work, it was nothing compared to this.
The entire Beast Skin was filled with countless records made by Ni Bingmo. Some unclear texts were attempted to be connected by Ni Bingmo. In some places, there were even faint dashed lines, and Ni Bingmo recorded various speculations in the jade slip.
One particular record brought Xunuo to tears. Based on an almost invisible dot, Ni Bingmo connected several lines of broken text and noted: This character might be... followed by nearly a hundred words of speculation.
Xunuo read through the entire Beast Skin and jade slip word for word several times. In the end, he only managed to glean the name of this Spell: Stunning Spirit. Yet, Ni Bingmo was able to cultivate this Spell successfully based on just this fragment of text, gaining immense fame from it.
Although Xunuo hated the likes of Black Wind Old Monster and Ni Bingmo to the core—especially Black Wind Old Monster—he felt more admiration for their extraordinary talents.
Take Black Wind Old Monster, for instance; it could be said that he had never relied on pills for cultivation. He consistently suppressed the coveted opportunities for advancement that everyone else desired. Black Wind Old Monster's ascension was merely an inevitable outcome of his inability to hold back any longer. Because of this, Black Wind Old Monster's magical power surpassed that of any Foundation Stage Practitioner. Even Foundation Stage Cultivators would think twice before offending him.
Xunuo felt an impulse to dig up Ni Bingmo's corpse and worship it.
In the end, Xunuo put away the Stunning Spirit Spell. Although this Spell was excellent and extremely suitable for him, with Xunuo's current insight and experience, he still couldn't fully comprehend it. Even though Ni Bingmo had done extensive preliminary work and had already cultivated it successfully, it didn't matter. This was the gap between them.
Xunuo's greatest strength lay in his ability to recognize himself clearly and make accurate judgments. This allowed him to frequently analyze pros and cons and summarize gains and losses, benefiting from this good habit.
Next, Xunuo opened the Spell obtained from that elder of the Cultivation Family at the Foundation Establishment Stage. This Spell was called Bloodstorm Gale. It was the signature technique of this Cultivation Family. In fact, the Insect Manipulation Cultivator who shattered Ni Bingmo's Flying Artifact used Bloodstorm Gale.
This Spell could be considered an upgraded or improved version of Wind Blade Spell. For most Cultivators, Wind Blade Spell is a basic Spell with limited power. When cast, wind blades fill the sky, serving as a means for area attacks or disrupting battle situations.
However, this does not mean that Wind Blade Spell is ineffective; rather, it is the user who lacks capability. Wind Blade Spell was created specifically for wind Spiritual Root Cultivators. Its power in the hands of a wind Spiritual Root Cultivator is an entirely different phenomenon.
It was just like the Thunder Law; most cultivators simply could not master it. There was no hope of fully unleashing its power. The reason Xunuo was able to cultivate the Yimu Qinglei Method and achieve some success was mainly due to his Wood attribute.
Yimu Qinglei was primarily based on the Lightning Attribute, with the Wood attribute as a supplementary element. Without a Wood Spirit Root, even if Xunuo could cultivate the Yimu Qinglei Method, its power would be significantly diminished. The current Bloodstorm Gale shared a similar essence with the Yimu Qinglei Method, and it was even more advantageous for Xunuo.
The Wind Blade Spell excelled in speed, arriving in an instant. However, its destructive power was somewhat lacking, and it had extremely high requirements for the Spiritual Root.
Bloodstorm Gale, on the other hand, built upon the rapidity of the Wind Blade Spell by incorporating a metallic sharpness. This meant that a Golden Spiritual Root Cultivator practicing Bloodstorm Gale could also unleash the spell's power. In fact, in terms of sharpness, they would surpass Wind Spiritual Root Cultivators while maintaining a similar speed.
After reading the introduction to this spell, Xunuo immediately decided to first cultivate it to a minor success so that it could serve as a trump card. Afterward, he would delve deeper into the three spells he had already begun to master. This way, he could showcase a certain level of prowess at the Crimson Flower Sect's Arena Tournament. With that resolved, Xunuo entered into a period of monotonous cultivation.
Two months later, Xunuo emerged from his seclusion but did not leave immediately. Instead, he wandered around the Market in Yuzhou Celestial City. Indeed, he intended to leave Yuzhou Celestial City to participate in the entry-level Arena Tournament at Crimson Flower Sect. However, before departing, Xunuo wanted to gain some experience in the Market of Yuzhou Celestial City.
