Chapter 88: Honing Skills

"Weapon Array!"

Except for Lin Qian, the other members of the group activated their weapon arrays as their essence cores and components transformed into various weapons.

"Lin Qian, aren't you going to arm yourself?" Ye Xin asked in surprise, seeing Lin Qian facing the battle unarmed.

Lin Qian turned his head and nodded, "That's right. If I arm myself, I won't be able to train effectively..."

If Lin Qian were to use his weapon array, he was confident that his strength would increase significantly. If that were the case, these undead would hardly pose a challenge.

In Lin Qian's eyes, these undead were the perfect opportunity to hone his skills. Why would he waste such an opportunity by using his full power right from the start?

"Showoff," Ye Xin teased with a pout. She gripped her fully armed essence sword and charged toward the undead.

As Ye Xin rushed forward, Lin Qian's eyes gleamed with admiration.

He noticed that Ye Xin's essence sword wasn't just any ordinary weapon—it had a dark blue hue, with faint starlight embedded within, glowing alongside her essence power, giving it a mystical aura.

"Ancestral-grade essence!" Lin Qian immediately recognized the extraordinary quality of her weapon. "Xin'er... she's truly remarkable."

He recalled what his master, Wei Wushuang, had told him about the profound mysteries of ancestral-grade essence weapons. It was evident that Ye Xin had awakened a powerful ancestral bloodline, possibly from a once-great family that had fallen from grace.

But now, with Ye Xin's awakening, she had tapped into that powerful bloodline, drawing upon the strength of her ancestors.

As Ye Xin swung her sword, its starlight-enhanced blade slashed through the tattered garments of an undead figure. The clash produced a sharp metallic sound, as though the sword had struck steel.

Ye Xin's eyes narrowed as she focused her strength, causing the starlight to burst forth, slicing through the undead's arm with ease.

Swish!

She swiftly turned and unleashed another strike, her sword's brilliant energy cutting through multiple undead with the force of a starlit river, leaving a trail of destruction.

Watching Ye Xin's graceful yet deadly movements, Lin Qian couldn't help but admire her. "My fiancée... she's truly captivating."

"Roar!" Just as Lin Qian was caught up in his admiration, an undead with glowing green eyes lunged at him, snarling viciously.

Bang!

Lin Qian's expression hardened as he threw a powerful punch, sending the undead flying. "Don't block my view!"

Ye Xin, surrounded by a glowing aura of starlight, seemed untouchable as no undead could get close to her.

Seeing this, Lin Qian felt reassured and shifted his focus to Lei Qian and the others.

Lei Qian and the rest were all elite disciples of the Wanshang Sect, standing at the pinnacle of the inner sect. After enduring Lin Qian's brutal training, each of them had successfully surpassed the limits of the Nirvana Stage, greatly increasing their strength. Handling the undead proved to be well within their capabilities.

Moreover, they were faring far better than Fu Heng had.

"Their weak point is in their dantian!" Lin Qian shouted to the others as he charged into the horde of undead.

Upon hearing Lin Qian's words, the eyes of Ye Xin and the others lit up.

Previously, even decapitating the undead or piercing their hearts had little effect. However, after following Lin Qian's advice and targeting the dantian, the undead collapsed as if deflated, rendering them immobile.

This discovery brought a sense of relief to everyone.

These relentless, difficult-to-kill undead had now been made significantly easier to deal with, thanks to the discovery of their weakness.

Lin Qian had deduced this weakness by observing Fu Heng's battle earlier. When Fu Heng had used his Slaughter the Four Corners technique, only the undead whose dantian had been destroyed had failed to rise again.

With this knowledge in hand, Lin Qian's confidence soared as he pushed his crimson-gold lightning essence to its limit, charging toward the horde of undead like a lightning-clad war god.

"Roar..." The undead, unaware of fear, met Lin Qian's charge with their own snarls, rushing toward him.

One of the undead, claws gleaming like blades, lunged at Lin Qian, aiming to tear him apart.

Without hesitation, Lin Qian met the attack head-on, his fist crashing into the undead's clawed hand.

Bang!

The impact resonated with a loud crash as the undead's claws shattered, and its arm, reinforced like steel, was reduced to splinters.

After landing the first blow, Lin Qian immediately followed up with another, smashing the undead's other shoulder with a bone-crunching force.

Crack!

The sound of breaking bones echoed as Lin Qian shattered the undead's shoulder. He then swiftly kicked, breaking both of its legs.

"Take this!" Lin Qian shouted, slapping the undead across the face.

The crisp sound of the slap echoed as the undead's head spun around three times before it collapsed to the ground.

Although the undead struggled to move, its body was too broken to continue the fight.

With just his fists and feet, Lin Qian methodically dismantled the undead around him, honing his combat skills in the process.

Throughout the fight, Lin Qian deliberately avoided targeting the undead's weak points, instead focusing on breaking their bones to immobilize them.

"Lin Qian... he's just too incredible, isn't he?" Ye Xin occasionally glanced over at Lin Qian, her face filled with awe at his abilities.

Fighting against the undead, Ye Xin could clearly feel the pressure they exerted. These numerous enemies were incredibly troublesome, possessing strong combat instincts.

Whenever she aimed for their weak points, the undead would sacrifice a limb to block her attacks, forcing their way closer to her.

Even when both arms were destroyed, the undead would still charge forward, willing to be cut down just to create an opening for others.

These undead fought solely for the sake of killing.

Yet Lin Qian, without relying on their weak points, was simply honing his skills while still finding ways to win.

Suddenly, Ye Xin seemed to understand something. She stopped fixating on the undead's weak points and focused solely on winning the fight.

The battle continued, and with her newfound clarity, Ye Xin fought with even greater ease.

But just then, a sharp whistle echoed through the air, and the attacking undead abruptly halted, retreating in unison.

The undead then parted, forming a clear path, as a mysterious figure stepped forward.
