Chapter 8: Super Killing Techniques

Yes, the son knows.

Chu Yun smiled and said, "Did you not see? The five stars shining above, naturally represent the Five-Star Soul Martial Arts"

So, your son is truly an unadulterated genius? Haha!" Chuxiong chuckled, somewhat pleased, "In a moment, I will draw up the luck pathways and each move of this set of killing techniques and hand it over to you.

After a full ten minutes, Chu Xiong finally completed the set of sword techniques. Indeed, this is the "Dragon Soul Profound Blade" that made him famous in his previous life! Based on the conversion of power intensity between his past and present lives, Chu Xiong sensed that only a strength of over ten thousand star soul power could activate the first layer of the heart method of the "Dragon Soul Profound Blade"

In his three past lives, it seems that the human cultivation was much weaker than that of the people in the current Soul Martial Realm. However, the martial techniques were significantly more exquisite than those of the present. Perhaps the weaker humanity becomes, the more it relies on skills and external forces. Yet, in this world, those martial techniques are referred to as "killing techniques".

According to the lore of this Soul Martial World, only those who have reached the level of a Four-Ring Beast Demon have the potential to form a Demon Crystal within their skull. This means that the creature known as Zhuo Qian is at least a Four-Ring Beast Demon level monster. Yet, such a ferocious demon is utterly defenseless before Chu Yun, akin to a child in its vulnerability

What kind of killing technique is this? No, it is absolutely impossible for a fourteen-year-old boy to have created it

Correspondingly, after the martial artist breaks through the nine ranks and enters the realm of Soul Martial Arts, it is also divided into nine levels—from One Star Soul Martial to Nine Star Soul Martial. Nine Star Soul Martial can be referred to as "Heavenly Martial"

Father, what level of cultivation have you truly reached?" Chuxiong was astonished

Chuxiong was panting heavily, propping himself up with his knife. Meanwhile, the great demon Zhuo Qian had completely ceased to move, its massive body lying sideways on the disordered stones, devoid of the fierce demeanor it had just moments ago

What is a Four-Ring Beast Demon

I don't know, Chuxiong replied earnestly

That is good! Chu Yun looked at his son, who possessed such extraordinary talent, and said with satisfaction: "Xiong, do you know why your father has not taught you the Star Soul Technique over the past fourteen years?"

"Xiong! It is absolutely imperative that no one learns of this set of lethal techniques. You must understand the principle that a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure can lead to guilt. Unless it is absolutely necessary, no, even if it is absolutely necessary, do not easily resort to using this set of lethal techniques!" Chu Yun said solemnly

The astonishing thing for Chuxiong was not this legendary object, but rather Chuyun's cultivation level

Chuxiong scratched his head and smiled, saying: "I am by your side all day. As long as it is not taught by you, it must be my own, right? Hehe. Father, what do you think of the knife technique I just demonstrated? How would you rate it in terms of killing skills?"

In a state of shock, Chu Yun could hardly contain his joy and said, "In this Soul Martial Realm, the nine-tier killing techniques have already been lost. The highest existing level of killing technique is the legendary eight-tier killing technique, the 'Dragon's Hate Blade.' I was fortunate enough to witness someone perform the Dragon's Hate Blade before, and it was not necessarily much superior to your set of sword techniques."

Regardless of whether it is a beast demon or a soul warrior, each major realm is further divided into three levels: upper, middle, and lower

However, when Chuxiong's figure danced gracefully under the moonlight, Chuyun's mind short-circuited

For instance, the so-called strongest of Dawang Mountain, Ling Meng, is merely at the one-star Soul Martial realm. Moreover, it is highly likely that he is at the lower tier of the one-star Soul Martial.

Generally speaking, the strength of each star-level soul weapon is roughly comparable to that of a beast or demon of the same ring number. For instance, the strength of a beast or demon of the first ring is approximately similar to that of a one-star soul weapon.

Shh! Why didn't you say so earlier? Chuxiong smiled mysteriously in his heart, but spoke calmly on the surface: "A few days ago, I developed a set of killing techniques, but I have been unable to execute them myself. I have analyzed it and estimate that only by reaching 10,000 points of Star Soul Power can one activate the execution of those techniques. Since you, Father, already meet this condition, why not give it a try?"

Tomorrow marks your fourteenth birthday. In the Soul Martial World, this is considered the official transition to adulthood. Therefore, there are certain things I must tell you. " Chu Yun sighed, "As a man, there are some matters that you ultimately need to confront.

Is this truly your own creation?" Chu Yun looked at her son, utterly unable to believe it

Well done! Rather than saying that your knife skills have improved again, it is more accurate to say that your footwork has become even more exquisite! Chu Yun praised.

Because your constitution is different from that of ordinary people! Chu Yun said slowly, "Ordinary people have eight star veins, which can accommodate eight star souls. When the eight star veins merge into one, it achieves the realm of nine stars. However, you, on the other hand, have a natural severance from the root of star souls. This means that you are fundamentally unable to practice star soul techniques... I know this may be a blow to you. Don't be anxious about *Tu* *Shu*, as nothing is absolute. Your father is also helping you find a solution."

"Impressive! However, this also indicates that you can at least mobilize 10,000 points of Star Soul Power?" Chu Xiong inquired

First Ring Beast Demon, Second Ring Beast Demon, up to Ninth Ring Beast Demon! The Ninth Ring Beast Demon can be referred to as "Celestial Demon"

10,000 points? The standard for a low-grade one-star soul weapon is 1,000 points of soul power, while the standard for a low-grade four-star soul weapon is 10,000 points of soul power. I am a five-star soul weapon; do you think it can be activated? Chu Yun smiled calmly.

Although that particular killing technique did not unleash a powerful force, how keen was Chu Yun's insight? He immediately discerned that as long as star soul power was infused into the blade's momentum, the violent power that this set of killing techniques could unleash would undoubtedly reach a level that could shake the heavens and the earth

Chuxiong chuckled softly and walked over to his father's side. Meanwhile, Chuyun extended his hand and said, "Here, this is the demon crystal."

The Five-Star Soul Weapon is almost half a legend, isn't it? Because it is said that in the entire Soul Weapon realm, those who have reached the Four-Star level or above are exceedingly rare. As for the Eight-Star Soul Weapons and even the Nine-Star Heavenly Weapons, they are merely figures of legend.

Upon hearing these words, Chuxiong was immediately shocked, followed by a profound sense of loss. If he could not practice the Star Soul Technique, did that not mean he would be permanently stuck at the ninth rank of martial artists? Then, even if his killing techniques were powerful, what use would they be?

According to the classification of levels in the Soul Martial Realm, when a fierce beast advances to the stage of "Yao," it is further divided into nine realms

It turns out that when one's cultivation reaches a certain star level, the power of the star soul will manifest several star glimmers above the head. In this way, it becomes easier to distinguish the realms of those soul weapons

Oh? Chu Yundun suddenly became somewhat interested. A killing technique that requires ten thousand points of star soul power to activate is indeed very rare. Generally speaking, the more stringent the conditions for executing a killing technique, the more exquisite and higher in rank the technique tends to be.

If the aforementioned creatures are at least four-ring beast demons, it implies that Chu Yun's cultivation level is at least at the five-star soul martial realm

However, although he knew that his son had a talent for assassination techniques, Chu Yun still did not hold out much hope. After all, he was just a fourteen-year-old boy! If he was unable to execute it, it might not necessarily require ten thousand points of star soul power to activate; it could very well be that this assassination technique simply did not work at all

In a daze, Chuxiong felt a sharp pain in his heart. After a long while, he finally asked: "Father, what exactly are the eight star veins you mentioned? Where are they located?"
