The sudden Epiphany startled Qin Fang, but he quickly immersed his mind, focusing on comprehending it...

As for where this Epiphany came from?

That could wait!

This brand-new Epiphany allowed him to grasp many details he had noticed before but never paid much mind to, making his eyes light up!

He had no intention of stopping his practice. Instead, as he continued his Fist Technique, he began to constantly verify and refine it...

’Here, I can actually exert force like this...’

’Exerting force this way is faster, and the explosive power is even greater?’

’And here...’

His Fist Technique grew faster and faster. Throughout this process, Qin Fang grasped more force-exertion techniques, causing his movements to accelerate as well.

By the end, he moved like a phantom, appearing and disappearing unpredictably. His every punch and kick seemed without form, but in reality, they all carried the resonance of a ’Mental Realm’!

...His Fist Technique had truly achieved a Mental Realm of Perfection!

Xile, who had been lying nearby the whole time, stared wide-eyed at the practicing Qin Fang, its eyes filled with confusion.

Before he knew it, an hour had passed.

Qin Fang finally stopped.

He exhaled a long breath. A plume of white mist shot out more than ten feet, the arrow of air blasting away the loose snow on the ground!

He opened his eyes, which were filled with excitement...

’It’s done!’

’It’s definitely done!’

’This Fist Technique can almost perfectly conceal my offensive intentions!’

He clenched his fists.

...This was a Fist Technique born from his own Epiphany!

He could feel it. If the current him were to face the him of a month ago... he could toy with his past self like a dog on a leash!

His excitement was palpable. This sense of accomplishment was even more intense than when he first broke through to Huajin!

After a long while, he took a deep breath and calmed himself.

’Right, that sudden Epiphany was...’

The Epiphany came from the panel, so he subconsciously looked at it.

Then, he saw the text that had suddenly appeared.

His eyes lit up when he saw it.

’...I actually comprehended a brand-new ’Leaf Skill’?’

’And it appeared at the Perfection realm?!’

His eyes shone brightly.

He immediately understood where the Epiphany had come from...

It must have been the Epiphany granted when this Leaf Skill reached ’Perfection’!

And this Epiphany was indeed significant, allowing him to further perfect his concepts and Techniques.

...No, at the Huajin level, Techniques were no longer important.

Because any Technique that couldn’t conceal one’s offensive intent was completely transparent to a Huajin Powerhouse.

’Is this...’

’Formlessness overcoming form?’

He murmured.

After a moment, he looked at the first words on the panel.

’I can name it?... This Fist Technique... calling it Ox Demon Cleaves the Mountain is clearly no longer appropriate.’

’In fact, this isn’t even a Fist Technique anymore... It’s the culmination of all my insights into Huajin. There are no specific Techniques, only force-exertion skills and offensive concepts...’

’That’s why the description isn’t ’Unknown Fist Technique,’ but ’Unknown Leaf Skill’...’

’In other words, it can be used with fists and feet, but also with blades, spears, staves, and other weapons... it’s all the same!’

’Truly a case of mastering one thing to understand everything!’

The thought that he had personally created such a ’Leaf Skill’ filled Qin Fang with an overwhelming sense of accomplishment!

’In that case, I’ll name it a ’Canon’!’

’A canon created at the Peak of Mortal Martial Arts, at the Huajin realm... encompassing all the offensive and force-exertion techniques of the Lower Three Realms...’

’Calling it ’Martial Canon’ feels a bit too grand. The Martial Arts of this World are extraordinary, and I’m just getting started... I’ll call it... the ’Mortal Martial Canon’!’

The thought formed in Qin Fang’s mind.

The next moment, the text on the panel naturally changed.

’Mortal Martial Canon (High Grade Leaf Skill) (Perfection) 1/∞’

Seeing the words ’Mortal Martial Canon,’ a genuine smile spread across Qin Fang’s face.

...This ’Canon’ was a complete testament to his journey from an ordinary youth to the Peak of Mortal Martial Arts.

It recorded the path he had walked and all the gains he had made along the way!

To put it bluntly, if this ’Mortal Martial Canon’ were to spread, it would surely become the new benchmark for the ’Mortal Martial Third Realm’!

Because it wasn’t limited to any specific fists, feet, palms, or legs, nor was it restricted to any particular saber, spear, sword, or halberd... It pointed directly to the very root of all Leaf Skills within the Mortal Martial Third Realm!

Its concept alone likely surpassed many other High Grade Leaf Skills that were still confined to individual Techniques!

Qin Fang was deeply satisfied.

And yet, he was itching for a fight!

...He felt that his ’Mortal Martial Canon’ was very strong.

But whether it was truly strong or weak... that could only be verified through actual combat!

...Chen Shanhe, the Huajin Grandmaster who had been immersed in the realm for many years, the one who had toyed with him like a dog last time, was the perfect Gold Stone to test the strength of the Mortal Martial Canon!

At this thought, Qin Fang no longer hesitated. He rose and left immediately.

This time, he didn’t even bring his saber.

This was a confidence that belonged only to a Grandmaster!

He mounted Xile, gave the command, and headed straight for the valley where Chen Shanhe resided...

...

The atmosphere in the valley was oppressive. Though there were many people, few spoke.

A month had passed since Qin Fang’s last assault, but the dark cloud still lingered.

None of the disciples could forget what their master had said when Qin Fang had slammed two of their fellow disciples to their deaths...

’I don’t care if you kill them all’!

Their master’s words had struck all the disciples’ hearts like a heavy hammer.

Only then did they realize that to their master... they were nothing at all.

But leaving was impossible. For one, their master would never let them go, and for another... they knew all too well that without him, they would struggle to even survive.
