Chapter 3088 The Basic Abilities of a Saint-Level Rune Master! Wood-type Movement Technique! Withered Wood Pointing Finger!

Wang Teng analyzed the situation of the [Wood Flame Spear], trying to find a solution.

He actually quite liked wood-based combat techniques.

Wood can counter earth-based techniques.

When facing powerful earth-based martial artists, it’s inevitable to use wood-based methods.

As a martial artist dedicated to all-round development, how could Wang Teng let go of improving his wood-based techniques?

“Right, actually, from a microscopic perspective, a wooden spear is also formed by the condensation of energy.”

“So, if I directly change the form of wood-based energy at the microscopic level, can I make the wooden spear stronger and harder?”

A thought suddenly popped into Wang Teng’s mind, making his eyes light up.

This method seemed feasible.

Wang Teng’s thoughts flashed quickly, and soon he figured out some key points.

Runes!

He still had to rely on runes!

And this was precisely what Wang Teng found difficult.

In fact, the condensation of the [Wood Flame Spear] itself also required runes.

Those were primordial law runes.

A peak World Lord-level combat technique must have already involved primordial law runes.

Those were the means to make the combat technique more powerful.

However, Wang Teng now wanted to re-inscribe some runes on this foundation.

These were ancient runes!

Only in this way could the wooden spear become even more sturdy.

Wang Teng immediately began his experiment, and in conjunction with the insights in his mind, he stretched out his hand.

Green light flashed in his hand, and a wooden spear quickly condensed,

as if a tree had grown in a short instant.

Then, golden light flashed from between his brows, spreading out and wrapping around the wooden spear.

Soon, runes appeared out of thin air on the surface of the wooden spear, as if an invisible hand was inscribing them.

At the same time, Wang Teng was also changing the energy structure inside the wooden spear.

He had already used the [Spirit Wood Sacred Body] and the [Five Elements Divine Treasury].

The former was formed by the fusion of the [Yi Wood Spirit Body] and the [Wood Spirit Body], making it even more powerful.

The latter was formed by the fusion of the five physiques of the Five Burials Clan, which also possessed wood attributes, and its realm had been sublimated, equivalent to a god-level physique.

The wooden spear formed from these two physiques already had an extraordinary energy structure.

Now, Wang Teng needed to make some minor adjustments to synchronize this energy with the ancient wood runes.

In short, he needed to make the energy and runes work in synergy.

This was a fundamental ability of a Saint-level rune master.

If one couldn’t even do this, they were truly a complete fraud.

Time passed quickly, and the spear in Wang Teng’s hand seemed to undergo some kind of transformation, its color becoming darker, yet occasionally flashing with a metallic luster.

He tapped it with his fingers.

Thump! Thump!

A dull sound followed.

He squeezed it again, using most of his strength, but only managed to leave a shallow mark.

“It’s become much harder!”

Wang Teng weighed the wooden spear in his hand, smiled slightly, and a ball of flame erupted.

Boom!

The wooden spear was enveloped in cyan flames, burning entirely.

More runes appeared—the runes of the primordial laws.

Wood! Fire!

The two primordial law runes intertwined and cooperated; this was the rune inherent in the [Wood Flame Spear].

The appearance of these two primordial law runes did not interfere with the ancient wood runes that Wang Teng had just condensed.

Wang Teng was already extremely familiar with the [Wood Flame Spear], having previously mastered it to a minor level, so he naturally knew how to avoid the original rune positions.

“It’s done!”

At this moment, he could feel that the stability of the wooden spear had greatly improved, and it would not easily collapse.

The same method of casting, only with the addition of some runes and a slight change in the energy structure, had greatly improved the power of this combat skill.

Wang Teng couldn’t help but give himself a thumbs up for his ingenuity.

He chuckled and wiped away the runes on the wooden spear, and instantly, the azure jade flames enveloped the wooden spear, burning it to ashes.

Not even ashes remained.

At the same time, Wang Teng had finished absorbing the insights in his mind, and he looked at the attribute panel.

“Mastery level!”

He couldn’t help but be stunned, and was overjoyed.

This combat skill had actually reached the mastery level directly!

It’s really… amazing!

No wonder he felt so smooth when he improved the [Wood Flame Spear] just now; it turned out that his level of mastery had already subtly changed.

“Speaking of which, the attribute values of this combat skill are really quite high. A mastery level requires 20,000 attribute points.”

Wang Teng’s eyes flashed, and he noticed the attribute value cap for the mastery level of the [Wood Flame Spear], somewhat surprised.

This was comparable to some Immortal-level combat skills.

However, he quickly understood.

Since this combat skill could alter its power using fire and wood energy, it was inherently quite formidable.

This was similar to the previous [Dragon Elephant Golden Bell Shield].

The [Dragon Elephant Golden Bell Shield] had the added innate runes of the Dragon Elephant race, hence the higher attribute value requirement.

The [Wood Flame Spear], on the other hand, required specific fire and wood energy, so its higher attribute values were normal.

Of course, if it only used ordinary fire and wood energy, this combat skill could still be used.

However, in that case, the power of the [Wood Flame Spear] would only maintain the normal peak power of a World Lord level, making a breakthrough much more difficult.

“This Treant warrior is quite something; he’s actually managed to master this combat technique.”

Wang Teng thought to himself with admiration. The opponent seemed to be only at the World Lord level, yet he had cultivated a peak World Lord-level combat technique to perfection—this was rare.

This alone demonstrated his exceptional talent.

Even without a triple-attribute talent like Borett’s, these Treant warriors shouldn’t be underestimated.

In fact, sometimes having more attribute talents isn’t necessarily a good thing.

For ordinary martial artists, more attribute talents often mean more time to cultivate.

Wang Teng stopped thinking about it; it wasn’t his problem anyway.

The second combat skill was also extremely familiar, from his senior from Starry Sky Academy, Fu Xiuyuan.

Her illusory image appeared in Wang Teng’s mind, practicing swordsmanship.

Her graceful figure, accompanied by countless petals, was like a fairy among flowers. Surrounded by sword light, she possessed a sharp and dangerous edge. The fusion of these two qualities made her charm soar.

Wang Teng secretly admired her, absorbing the insights and integrating them into his own memory.

“Double sword light! Truly remarkable!”

Unfortunately, with his current level of mastery, it seemed insufficient for him to continue developing other sword techniques and integrate the double sword light into them.

This time, the [Hundred Flowers Green Edge Sword Technique] only increased his attribute values by a little over three thousand points, which wasn’t much at all.

Wang Teng vaguely understood, but it wasn’t enough.

“If Fu Xiuyuan can improve a little more, even if she doesn’t reach the pinnacle, just breaking through 10,000 attribute points might be enough.”

This sudden premonition filled him with anticipation.

Senior Fu Xiuyuan’s talent was undeniable. Last time, Wang Teng clearly felt she had reached the limit of her mastery of this combat technique, but now she had improved again, indicating a breakthrough in battle.

This was precisely why many martial artists participated—both for merit and for breakthroughs.

Danger often accompanies opportunity; this was an age-old truth.

Next, another image appeared in Wang Teng’s mind. His attack was unpredictable; amidst the green light, numerous cyan vines rapidly grew, transforming into a hand that reached for the dark creature in front of him. The

dark creature, once grasped, instantly emitted sounds of bones cracking or shifting.

This was incredible.

Dark creatures not only possessed powerful physical bodies, but their skeletons were also extraordinary and extremely sturdy.

They were not something ordinary martial artists could easily break.

In the past, some martial artists tried to target the Dark Race’s bones to find their weaknesses, but the results were not ideal.

Now, this combat technique can actually target the Dark Race’s bones, which is unbelievable.

“I didn’t expect a wood-type combat technique to unleash such power.”

Wang Teng’s eyes flashed. He knew that this combat technique mainly relied on brute force to shake the Dark Race’s bones, and he had some information about this in his understanding.

“No, it’s not just brute force, but also a kind of subtle and skillful force.”

He absorbed the understanding and gradually realized.

Green Vine Bone-Entwining Hand!

It is indeed a combat technique specifically targeting bones.

And it’s not just effective against the bones of Dark Races, but also against the bones of other living beings.

As long as there are bones, this combat technique can have a considerable effect.

“Seems pretty good!”

Wang Teng stroked his chin, quite fond of this combat technique.

He likes close-quarters combat, and this combat technique can play a significant role in this, and it is also very suitable for ambushing opponents.

From his insights, he knew that the [Azure Vine Bone-Entwining Hand] could not only be used with vines, but also attacked directly with the palm, suitable for both ranged and melee combat.

Such a combat technique was rare, somewhat similar to the [Blood Bone Poison Scale Demon Hair Vine] technique from the Dark race.

However, the [Blood Bone Poison Scale Demon Hair Vine] was a fusion of multiple combat techniques, possessing more characteristics than the [Azure Vine Bone-Entwining Hand].

Unless it could continue to develop,

it would require more similar combat techniques to fuse together.

This was no easy task.

Wang Teng had waited so long to obtain this light-element control-type combat technique; what more could he want? Dream on.

He couldn’t help but smile bitterly, but quickly adjusted his mood and became happy.

“Anyway, I’ve gained another old silver coin combat technique!”

Wang Teng chuckled, like a fox who had stolen a chicken.

“This combat skill belongs to the peak of the World Lord level, and it has now reached the minor completion level, very good!”

He was extremely satisfied with this and was about to absorb the insights of the next combat skill when he found that the light and shadow in his mind had not disappeared.

The light and shadow moved in the void, its figure having a kind of graceful and free feeling, and in an instant, it turned into many afterimages.

“This is… movement technique!!!”

Wang Teng’s eyes lit up. He did not expect that the same martial artist would have two powerful and remarkable combat skills.

First, there was the [Green Vine Bone-Entwining Hand], and now there is a movement technique. This martial artist is quite something.

He quickly absorbed the insights, and his body seemed to change accordingly, as if it had undergone countless trainings, with an instinctive reaction.

Whoosh!

Wang Teng moved and actually moved around the room.

Fleeting!

Free!

Elusive!

Afterimages appeared one after another, exactly the same as the images of insights in his mind.

At this moment, Wang Teng was like a leaf dancing in the wind, his figure extremely elusive and dazzling.

“Hahaha… Not bad! Not bad! I’ll gladly accept this movement technique.”

He was overjoyed and looked at the attribute panel.

Minor Completion!

This peak Realm Lord level combat technique had also reached the Minor Completion level!

Wang Teng was even more delighted. The wood-type martial artists he encountered this time were indeed very talented. See? He told him they weren’t weak.

If they were weak martial artists, how could they have cultivated their combat techniques to the Minor Completion level?

“Simultaneously mastering two peak Realm Lord level combat techniques, I wonder what this martial artist’s identity is? It seems to be at the Realm Lord level as well.”

Wang Teng didn’t underestimate the other party just because they were only at the Realm Lord level. The surprise this Realm Lord level martial artist brought him was no less than that of other immortal-level beings of other attributes.

Next, the light and shadow finally dissipated, and another new light and shadow appeared.

Wang Teng saw this light and shadow point towards the void in front of him. There wasn’t much of a great momentum, only a slightly pale gray-green light emanating from the fingertip.

But when this pale gray-green light landed on a dark creature, a strange scene appeared.

“Roar!”

The dark creature let out a roar, then its entire body uncontrollably decayed and withered, its flesh and blood seemingly devoid of life.

“Hiss~”

Wang Teng couldn’t help but gasp, his heart trembling.

It was so powerful!

Moreover…

this method was very similar to that of the dark creature, but it seemed to be different.

The dark creature’s methods could corrode the flesh and blood of living beings, turning them into a dark state, causing them to fall into depravity, or causing them to decay.

But this method directly caused the flesh and blood to decay and wither, unlike the corruption of darkness.

In short, it lacked a trace of dark evil, but it was still extremely strange.

“What kind of method is this?”

Wang Teng absorbed all his insights with deep doubt.

Fortunately, the insights he had gained were basically complete, and his mastery of them was not low, with no incomplete parts.

So he quickly understood the reason.

This [Withered Wood Pointing Finger] technique takes its meaning from the opposite of the ever-renewing nature of wood, namely, withering and decay.

A single finger strike can drain life force, causing living beings to perish in a short time.

This is actually a manifestation of the power of the fundamental law of wood.

Wang Teng understood this from his insights, but his mastery of the fundamental law of wood was insufficient to utilize this power.

“What a powerful meaning of decay and withering!”

he couldn’t help but exclaim inwardly. After absorbing his insights, he also understood his own shortcomings.

If he wanted to unleash this combat technique now, he probably wouldn’t be able to unleash its essence at all.

At most, he could only borrow a trace of its power.

“This is only because this combat technique has reached the mastery level,”

Wang Teng muttered to himself, realizing for the first time how troublesome a combat technique could be. (End of Chapter)
