C282 The Modified Silky Hair Soft Finger!(1)

From standing still to taking action, it all happened in the blink of an eye.

The onlookers hadn't yet grasped the situation when they saw Woo Zhengyang point at the sword of Heaven and Earth Vital Energy. He said he'd use finger techniques, and he did, no matter how powerful Helian Bozhong's sword skills were. This earned him immense admiration and left many wide-eyed in disbelief.

Could such a grand sword strike really be countered with just a finger? Was Woo Zhengyang out of his mind?

Meanwhile, Helian Bozhong was deep in thought. Woo Zhengyang's sudden move seemed unhindered by any constraints, leaving Helian stunned, his smile frozen. But as he realized what Woo Zhengyang was doing, his tense smile relaxed.

With just a finger, could Woo Zhengyang really break through his Heaven and Earth barrier? Not even a master at the Shape Gathering Stage could easily achieve that, right?

Yet, shortly after, Helian's relaxed smile stiffened once more and then vanished. Woo Zhengyang's fingertip finally collided with the edge of the Heaven and Earth Vital Energy.

There was no grand sound, but every gaze was fixed. The immense sword of Heaven and Earth Vital Energy, under Woo Zhengyang's single finger, suddenly teetered on the brink of collapse.

Even more astonishing, after the sword's dissolution, the gathered Heaven and Earth Vital Energy didn't dissipate into the air. Instead, it began to swirl, following some kind of rule.

Following that, the vital energy of heaven and earth seemed to be at Woo Zhengyang's command. It spiraled back through Helian Bozhong's sword, striking him with full force.

Seeing this, Helian Bozhong's face turned ashen. Before he could react, he was enveloped by the energy and sent flying.

"What kind of technique is this?" someone exclaimed in shock.

The same question echoed in the minds of many. They couldn't fathom how the vital energy Helian Bozhong had gathered suddenly became a tool for Woo Zhengyang, turning against its master.

Woo Zhengyang was known for one technique: the "Silky Hair Soft Finger." What he had just demonstrated was indeed this technique, yet it seemed different.

Originally, the "Silky Hair Soft Finger" was a mid-tier Yellow Rank martial skill, but what Woo Zhengyang displayed far exceeded that level. This version of the technique had been modified, and it was all connected to the golden vortex.

During the time he was resisting the possession attempt by the No Life Patriarch, the golden vortex was in constant rapid motion. Besides defending himself, Woo Zhengyang would occasionally study martial skills. By chance, he discovered that when he performed the "Silky Hair Soft Finger," the golden vortex reacted in an unusual way.

Anything related to the golden vortex was bound to be extraordinary.

Woo Zhengyang understood this well and began diligently practicing the "Silky Hair Soft Finger." Gradually, he entered a state of clarity and realized that his technique was incomplete, yet he felt he could restore it to its full form.

This was naturally due to the power of the golden vortex. Though Woo Zhengyang didn't fully understand it, he knew it was a rare opportunity he had to seize. Unable to control the golden vortex directly, he had to train repeatedly, identifying and correcting its shortcomings bit by bit.

After more than two months, Woo Zhengyang finally transformed the "Silky Hair Soft Finger" completely. Originally, the technique relied on his inner energy to create a spiraling force to overcome opponents. The revamped version, however, allowed him to infuse soul energy into this force, harnessing various powers, including the vital energy of the world.

During this transformation process, Woo Zhengyang's understanding of the technique accelerated. Despite the increased difficulty after the transformation, he managed to cultivate it to the Great Completion Stage, not far from its peak.

When Helian Bozhong attempted to condense the world's vital energy into a sword, Woo Zhengyang couldn't help but find it amusing. Helian Bozhong was truly unfortunate; his control over the energy sword was tenuous at best, making it all too easy for Woo Zhengyang to turn it to his advantage.

Indeed, this was the case. With a single gesture, Woo Zhengyang infused his energy, enhanced by Soul Energy, into the Vital Energy of Heaven and Earth. The spiraling force instantly dispersed the power of the sword formed by this energy, sending it crashing back.

Through the perception granted by Soul Energy, Woo Zhengyang was fully aware of the power behind this gesture. The spiraling force severely damaged Helian Bozhong's meridians in multiple places. Unless Helian Hanhai had several spirit pills, Helian Bozhong's recovery seemed unlikely.

Before today, Woo Zhengyang only knew that his modified "Silky Hair Soft Finger" technique had surpassed its previous level, but he didn't have a strong concept of its true power. Now, with the force of a single gesture, Woo Zhengyang gained a new understanding of the technique's rank. It was undoubtedly above the "Heavenly Sword Technique."

Beyond the pinnacle of the Yellow Rank lies the profound Xuan Rank! The martial skill he had casually chosen had unexpectedly evolved into a Xuan Rank technique, which was beyond Woo Zhengyang's expectations.

However, just like the "Tyrannical Mountain Shattering Fist" reaching the Perfection Stage, the emergence of this Xuan Rank finger technique was closely linked to the golden vortex. This deepened Woo Zhengyang's desire to uncover the secrets of the golden vortex even more.
