Chapter 265: Unlocking the Mountain Splitting Axe in a Different Way
Chapter 265: Unlocking the Mountain Splitting Axe in a Different Way
September 25, 2017
Lu Hai Kong had witnessed the two traits of Pan Feng before, both 'Army-Awesome Presence' and 'Unmatched General'. However, he had only seen them from a distance and never experienced their true power. Naturally, he was unaware of the strength these traits held.
At this moment, Lu Hai Kong deeply felt the power of Pan Feng's 'Unmatched General' trait.
In reality, Pan Feng's 'Unmatched General' is an extremely overpowered warrior trait. If there were a ranking of warrior traits in the Three Kingdoms, it would undoubtedly secure a spot in the top twenty.
The effect of this trait is incredibly powerful, as it gathers the strength of allied soldiers within a certain range and focuses it onto a single person. This concentrated force can also be used to suppress enemies as an intangible power.
The last time Pan Feng used this trait, he chose the second option because he clearly understood that even with the strength of thousands of Yellow Turban rebels, he couldn't defeat Dian Wei. The reason is that the borrowed strength doesn't significantly enhance the user's power but primarily boosts their stamina.
When the 'Unmatched General' trait is activated, and the gathered strength is channeled into Pan Feng, his strength value can reach 85, and his stamina can be infinitely increased, akin to a perpetual motion machine.
One can imagine the tremendous boost this gives to Pan Feng's combat power. If the Tomb Guardian warrior wasn't a system-created monster, during the activation of 'Unmatched General', Pan Feng could even challenge him in a one-on-one fight.
However, after Pan Feng activated 'Unmatched General' this time, he noticed something amiss. Although he had borrowed strength from the Elite Guard, he didn't seem to gain any enhancement in power.
Of course, Pan Feng hadn't activated 'Unmatched General' near Lu Hai Kong before, so he was unaware that when he did so, Lu Hai Kong could choose whether to bestow this power upon himself.
Lu Hai Kong was also unaware of this situation, so when the system prompted him, he instinctively agreed. Instantly, a force surged into his body, and Lu Hai Kong felt his strength surge, as if a perpetual motion machine had been installed within him, continuously generating power.
"Great opportunity! Pan Feng, cover me!"
As Pan Feng was puzzled, Lu Hai Kong spoke up. Simultaneously, he raised his Wilderness Axe high, assuming the stance of the Mountain Splitting Axe.
When Lu Hai Kong positioned himself for the Mountain Splitting Axe, a gap appeared in front of him. The Tomb Guardians charged forward, intending to tear Lu Hai Kong apart. Pan Feng immediately intercepted them, blocking their path.
Feeling the continuous force within Lu Hai Kong, Pan Feng instantly understood. The power gathered from his 'Unmatched General' was now channeled into Lu Hai Kong.
Although Pan Feng didn't know why Lu Hai Kong suddenly assumed this stance, he remained loyal and protected Lu Hai Kong. However, after blocking the attack on Lu Hai Kong, a domineering and rugged force, accompanied by a wild aura, surged forward, startling Pan Feng.
"Move aside!" Lu Hai Kong's eyes widened, and before he could finish speaking, Pan Feng hastily jumped away, as if fearing Lu Hai Kong's axe would strike them both.
As Pan Feng moved aside, Lu Hai Kong's Wilderness Axe descended. To maximize the output of this strike, Lu Hai Kong transformed his downward attack into a horizontal slash. Although the posture was slightly distorted, the Mountain Splitting Axe, which emphasizes mental unity, still delivered a powerful blow.
During the 'Unparalleled General' state, Lu Haikong's Mountain Splitting Axe Technique gained a significant boost. With just one swing, he took down three Tomb Guardian Soldiers.
"Continue!"
Lu Haikong hadn't used the Mountain Splitting Axe in almost three months, and with this swing, he felt a sense of liberation. It was an invincible feeling.
This was a rare opportunity, and Lu Haikong didn't plan to stop at just one swing. He continued with the Mountain Splitting Axe, and upon seeing this, Pan Feng, following the flow, continued his defensive work, allowing Lu Haikong to focus on preparing for the next axe swing.
The following battle became relatively monotonous, or rather, for Lu Haikong, after Pan Feng initiated the 'Unmatched General' state, it was no longer a battle but a rare opportunity to train in the Mountain Splitting Axe.
As Lu Haikong swung his axe repeatedly, the Tomb Guardian Soldiers rapidly diminished, and Lu Haikong himself became immersed in the Mountain Splitting Axe, unable to break free.
The more he used the Mountain Splitting Axe, the more Lu Haikong discovered its profoundness. Initially, he aimed to enhance the power of the axe, but as he continued swinging, he gradually uncovered another layer of the technique.
The essence of the Mountain Splitting Axe lay in the unity of mind and body. Only by merging with the spiritual state of the axe could he unleash its most powerful strike.
Lu Haikong had always sought to delve deeper into the spiritual state of the Mountain Splitting Axe, but during this continuous practice, he realized he might need to reverse his approach.
Perhaps by reducing the integration with that spiritual state, he could lower the power of the axe but also decrease its consumption.
In this version, there's no mistake!
Of course, if it's just about reducing power and consumption, Lu Haikong wouldn't be so concerned. By lowering consumption and power, he could also decrease preparation time. If he became proficient, he might even reach a state where he could use the Mountain Splitting Axe at any time.
If he could achieve this, it would be incredibly overpowered, and his combat strength would undoubtedly be qualitatively enhanced.
Lu Haikong's idea was good, seemingly feasible, but he soon had to halt this aspect of his research. The reason was simple: the Tomb Guardian Soldiers had been almost completely wiped out.
There were less than eighty Tomb Guardian Soldiers left, and initially, Lu Haikong could take down several with each swing. But as their numbers dwindled, they dispersed, and he had to target them one by one with each axe swing. However, it was just a matter of a few more swings, and Lu Haikong, who was researching the Mountain Splitting Axe, didn't mind this level of consumption. But the Bandit Guard couldn't endure it.
The Mountain Splitting Axe required immense stamina and internal energy. Each swing consumed the stamina of at least ten Bandit Guards. Lu Haikong swung the axe fifty or sixty times, exhausting them all, and Pan Feng's 'Unmatched General' state also disappeared...
