Chapter 182: Divine Light Sword
Chapter 182: Divine Light Sword
Just as Zuo Zhicheng felt he was about to break through, he sensed a warm feeling suddenly spreading all over his body.
It felt like he was being bathed in sunlight, but it was even warmer and softer than that.
It was because his Night Sea Life Grove now fully covered his entire body.
Every inch of his skin was eagerly absorbing the sunlight shining from the sky.
The Light Energy continuously entered his body, giving him that especially warm feeling.
At this time, as the light shining on Zuo Zhicheng from the sky was constantly absorbed, the darkness on his body became more and more severe.
He almost completely sank into a patch of darkness.
The feeling was as if he himself had turned into a Black Hole, crazily devouring all the light around him.
This situation lasted for about another hour.
Zuo Zhicheng was almost entirely turned into darkness.
At this moment, he was not bringing darkness; he himself had become darkness.
Because after Night Sea reached the Leakless stage, it absorbed almost every ray of light that touched his body, turning him pitch black.
One could imagine that if it were nighttime when Zuo Zhicheng activated Night Sea to absorb light, he could perfectly hide himself.
Ordinary people’s eyes would basically be unable to detect him.
But after about an hour, Zuo Zhicheng faintly felt a full, bloated sensation coming from various parts inside his body, especially from his left eye.
Normally, people felt this kind of sensation in their stomach after eating.
But now, when his left eye felt this way, it meant the absorption of Light Energy had reached its limit.
In other words, the maximum amount of Light Energy his body could store was now reached.
The next moment, the darkness gradually faded away.
It changed from pure darkness to thick shadows.
Then it became a faint shadow.
Finally, Zuo Zhicheng’s complete form was revealed again.
“Leakless.”
Zuo Zhicheng extended his right hand.
With a thought in his mind, a beam of light shot out from his fingertip.
Like a light sword, it extended over two meters before slowly fading.
Reaching the Leakless realm not only meant he could absorb Light Energy from any part of his body’s surface, but also that he could release Light Energy from anywhere.
Though this beam looked like a light sword, its effect was actually just like a strong flashlight.
But Zuo Zhicheng frowned slightly.
The Light Energy stored in Night Sea continuously flowed to his hand.
At the same time, at the point on his fingertip where Light Energy was being released, it kept gathering and tightening.
The beam became thinner and thinner.
The photons inside gradually aligned, their movements becoming more and more synchronized.
This showed the particle nature of light during propagation.
In the end, this beam of light became almost as thin as a strand of hair.
But because the energy was highly concentrated, it gained strong penetrating power.
The light in Zuo Zhicheng’s hand had become a laser.
This laser’s light was almost brighter than the Sun.
Of course, this wasn’t because its energy was greater than the Sun, but simply because it was concentrated enough.
Its own heat wasn’t high, but because it was so concentrated, it had an extremely high temperature.
This kind of laser, produced through high concentration, left Plasma in the air it pierced through.
Combined with its melting ability from the high temperature, it could penetrate or cut through most materials in the world.
This Dao Arts, the Divine Light Sword, was the first Dao Arts gained after Night Sea reached the Leakless stage.
With the speed of light at 300,000 kilometers per second, plus its near-universal cutting ability, the Divine Light Sword’s attack power could almost rank in the top ten among all Dao Arts.
However, this Dao Arts also had weaknesses.
With only the Night Sea Life Grove, the human body could not store much Light Energy.
And the farther high-energy lasers traveled, the more energy they consumed.
The laser at Zuo Zhicheng’s fingertip lost its killing power just over a meter away.
Even so, after seven seconds, the laser at Zuo Zhicheng’s fingertip flickered and completely disappeared.
The Light Energy he had stored over the past hour was completely used up.
“One hour to fully absorb energy.”
“But at maximum attack power, it can only last seven seconds.”
“Before transplanting more Life Groves capable of storing more Light Energy, this move can only be used as a secret, final move for now.”
The Divine Light Sword, which could only last seven seconds, naturally couldn’t be used as a regular fighting method.
As for Life Groves that could help store more energy, Zuo Zhicheng had seen them in four Life Diagrams.
But he would have to wait until he found those Life Groves.
Zuo Zhicheng looked up and noticed the Underworld King Snake beside him had backed away a few meters.
It was looking at him with a fearful gaze, seemingly scared by the earlier Divine Light Sword.
The muscles in Zuo Zhicheng’s right hand twitched slightly for a moment.
As his muscles released varying amounts of heat, the Underworld King Snake, sensing this thermal information, was immediately soothed.
It lay down and continued guarding beside Zuo Zhicheng.
Zuo Zhicheng’s body was once again covered in Shadow.
He needed to replenish Light Energy again and then use the Divine Light Sword.
This kind of move, capable of securing victory or turning the tables, required more practice from him.
He especially needed to test its characteristics thoroughly, to avoid being flustered during a fight.
…
One day later, Zuo Zhicheng had returned alone to the martial arts school.
A Fei stood before him, reporting on the recent situation at the school.
“…That’s basically it. Recently, too many people have been signing up to learn martial arts or hiring guards and bodyguards.”
“So I invited masters from other martial arts schools to work here.”
“I was wondering if we should expand our space or open a branch school?”
“Not necessary.” Zuo Zhicheng shook his head.
“This hype will pass in a few months. Most people who come to learn martial arts won’t persist for long. There’s no need to expand for them.”
“The key is quality. I’ll be going to Haijing in a few days. Pick some clever, reliable disciples and have them practice Authentic Transmission Martial Arts.”
During this time, while helping Zuo Zhicheng manage the school, A Fei naturally learned about Authentic Transmission Martial Arts and Psychic Energy Fruit.
Hearing this, he looked up and asked, “Senior Brother, do you want to train a group of Authentic Transmission Martial Artists?”
“I can’t stay here forever. I’ll probably be leaving Xinlu frequently from now on.”
“I’ll need manpower in many places.” Zuo Zhicheng said calmly.
“Select those with Innate Primordial Breath, but the most important thing is that they are trustworthy, loyal, and obedient.”
“Don’t consider those who are disobedient, no matter how talented they are.”
“After you’ve chosen them, you all teach them first. When I return, I will personally instruct them.”
“I understand.”
Zuo Zhicheng now had a very big reputation in the Southern Xinlu martial world.
But to turn this reputation into influence and wealth, he needed more people.
After giving these instructions, A Fei reported further, “Senior Brother, several top Martial Artists have recently come to visit you. Should you meet them?”
“There are also many invitations to gatherings. How should we handle them?”
“Just reject the invitations directly. As for the top Martial Artists…” Zuo Zhicheng closed his eyes and thought for a moment.
Finally, his lips moved slightly. “Then let’s meet them. I can see what other top Martial Artists are around here.”
Xinlu Port was located in the southern part of Southern Bay.
Besides Xinlu, there were also several other cities here like A Cha, Mo Dan, and Gang He.
Though not as prosperous as Xinlu, there were many large families or tribes here, making them local powers.
Zuo Zhicheng wasn’t interested in them.
But those top Martial Artists who came because of his reputation did spark a little curiosity in him.
