Chapter 83: Pursuing the Limits of Casting Techniques

  The blue sky and the yellow spring.

  Up to the azure sky and down to the yellow spring!

  Su Dong's display of martial skills left Huan Yu in astonishment, as this was the first time he had seen Su Dong use this set of skills in its entirety; previously, he had only glimpsed a small part of Bi Luo Huang Quan.

  To say that Su Dong has now completed all the primary cultivation of Bi Luo Huang Quan, and his level is broken through three! It's completely different from before!

  "This set of martial skills is so fierce!" After Su Dong finished his move, Huan Yu said in surprise, and also exaggeratedly used the two words "fierce" and "cruel".

  Su Dong nodded and said, "At first in the martial arts hall, I found that those martial skills were not suitable for me. This set of Bi Luo Huang Quan was obtained from the Ling Shou tribe, and it happened to be very much to my taste."

  "You think it's fine, but others find it strange. After all, this set of martial arts is based on offense against offense, with an extremely fierce and powerful approach that is very different from what people on the mainland learn."

  Xuan Yu shook his head and said, "That's because they don't understand. In my time, all sorts of martial arts emerged one after another. It's not like now, where everyone goes to learn the Xingling lineage's techniques. Think about it, if all warriors use the same spiritual power and the same techniques, what's the point?"

  "Martial arts is about being different from the crowd!" Huan Yu's face turned red as he exclaimed, "Only by being different can you create miracles! What you're learning now, casting, is a unique path! Other casters use fire casting, but Ice God uses ice casting!"

  "It's precisely because the Ice God used rare ice casting that he is the strongest caster! Of course, you're still learning the basics now, but when you can truly start casting, you'll understand just how powerful this ice casting technique is."

  Su Dong laughed and curiously said, "You're always saying that everything is inferior except for casting, I thought you didn't care about martial skills, it turns out it was just lip service."

  Exposed...

  Huan Yu rolled her eyes and said: "The Casting Master is a natural talent inheritance, most of the Ice God tribe are also martial arts practitioners, I am no exception."

  After a pause, Huan Yu changed the subject and said: "By the way, the Blue Fall Yellow Spring technique is absolutely not a legacy of the Spiritual Beast clan, but comes from the Demon, it's the orthodox Demon Dao."

  "Orthodox Demon Dao?" Su Dong was taken aback and asked in confusion.

  "Absolutely no mistake, all the martial arts in the world, all the inheritances, come from the gods and demons' bestowal. For example, our Ice God left behind the ice casting technique, this unique casting technique, and your Bi Luo Huang Quan is also from a demon, but which demon, I'm not clear either."

  Su Dong said curiously, "I feel like you don't seem to be disgusted by the demonic path at all? When I first learned that I was practicing demonic path techniques, several friends from the spiritual beast clans advised me against it."

  One sentence left Huan Yu silent for a long time.

  He raised his head, and Huan Yu seemed a bit depressed. His gaze swept across the Ice God's castle, and he said in a low voice: "In those days, although the Ice God was not a demon path, he tended towards the demon path. He often said that the number of people killed by the divine path and the demon path are actually the same, so what is absolute justice and evil in this world?"

  It was precisely because of this attitude that when the gods were divided, the Ice God was assigned to the remote northern wilderness, and among the gods, he was ostracized.

  Su Dong nodded, it seems that this Ice God is a very open-minded person. This world was originally about winning and losing, the gods won, so they became the righteous side, the reason is just that simple.

  "In fact, the stronger you are, the more beneficial it is for me." Huan Yu gritted her teeth and said: "What I have been seeking in this life is the truth. I want to know who threatened Lord Bing Sheng's life back then, so much that he had to make a ruthless decision to disperse his clan thoroughly."

  "If you can find and kill that enemy, I won't care whether you're studying the Way of Gods or the Way of Devils!"

  ……

  Huan Yu is a good teacher, but he's a bit strict and forces Su Dong to study the Ice Sculpture Technique every day.

  However, since witnessing Su Dong's martial skills, Huan Yu specially shortened his learning time and left the rest of the time for Su Dong to practice.

  Su Dong's studies spanned the Divine Realm, the Devil Realm, and the world of his past life, a total of three realms!

  Azure Falls and Yellow Springs, Icebound Foundry, Qimen Formation, three completely different inheritances, all of which are the best in their respective fields!

  As the old saying goes, how high you start will determine to a large extent how far you'll go.

  The key is that Su Dong fundamentally doesn't know where the end point is! Because his starting point was simply too high!

  With infinite yearning for the future, Su Dong devoted himself to learning and self-cultivation with all his might, every day was very tiring, but also very fulfilling.

  Su Dong's brain had always been quite useful, and about a week later, he had already grasped the basics of ice system casting. He could identify six-tenths of the raw materials and memorize four-tenths of the ratio table.

  Huan Yu nodded in satisfaction and said to Su Dong, "Alright, from today on, the first phase of your study can be considered concluded. Next, I will let you personally operate the Ice God Platform, and experience what it's like to become a true Casting Master."

  "Your learning progress is quite good, being able to complete the first stage of study within ten days while cultivating combat skills at the same time is already quite rare. I estimate that it won't be long before you can receive the second part of the inheritance from Lord Ice God."

  Su Dong furrowed his brow and said: "The second part of the legacy? Aren't all the emotions given to me at once?"

  Hanyu Bai looked at Su Dong with a glance, and said: "What are you thinking? The inheritance of the Ice God can't be given to you directly. First, you have to prove that you have the ability."

  A faint smile, Huan Yu said: "I'll tell you a secret, the Ice God left behind not only legacy, but also wealth! Unimaginable wealth! The current Casting Ice God's Fortress, these piled up like mountains of raw materials, these countless experimental notes, and this Casting Ice Sky Platform, are just the first legacy."

  Su Dong's mouth was wide open, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva with great effort. He exclaimed in surprise: "These are just the first inheritance! Won't the second inheritance be even more incredible than this?!"

  In Su Dong's eyes, all of this was already exaggerated to the point of being abnormal, and this was only the first inheritance of the Ice God?

  Huan Yu shook his head and said, "The second inheritance won't be the same as now, but many, many times more! Don't forget, Bing Shen is a Casting Master, the one and only Ice System Casting Master!"

  Su Dong said with a smile: "And yet, these casting masters are all incredibly wealthy, rivaling the wealth of entire nations!"

  Xuan Yu smiled and said: "You're right, besides, there are also good things passed down from the Ice God's ancestors, but I haven't seen those either, so I can't describe them to you."

  Su Dong felt a bit dizzy, the wealth of the Ice God was already enormous, and now add to that the wealth passed down from the ancestors of the Ice God? Su Dong felt his imagination wasn't quite up to par, he couldn't quite grasp just how exaggerated this concept was.

  ……

  Su Dong went to wash his face, keeping himself in a state of alertness.

  The wealth of Bing Shen is exaggerated, but it also sets a threshold, Su Dong must work twice as hard to achieve it.

  Workshop, Su Dong began to build an embryo independently.

  Casting is a kind of spiritual power that makes ordinary things have spiritual power, so Su Dong first needs to start with the creation of the embryo.

  Su Dong took out his own few pieces of equipment to show Huan Yu, all of which were ruthlessly labeled as "trash" by this guy. Even that piece called Can Bing Duan Hong was only evaluated by Huan Yu as "makes do".

  "This set of spiritual armor is not bad, with a rare full-system spiritual defense. Unfortunately, when this spiritual armor was made, you were not the casting master, but rather had another casting master infuse your own spiritual power into it. As a result, there's still quite a difference compared to if you had crafted it yourself."

  Su Dong said: "So, none of these spiritual soldiers and armor can be used?"

  Xuan Yu smiled and said, "It's not that it can't be used, but I think you're already the successor of the Ice System Casting Technique, so you shouldn't be careless on the path of Ling Jia Ling Bing. You should use something even stronger!"

  Su Dong nodded heavily in agreement with Huan Yu's point of view, a warrior's armor and weapons absolutely cannot be sloppy, after all this is a matter of life and death.

  "Fantasy Rain Path: The difference between the Ice System's casting method and others lies in its ability to repeatedly infuse spiritual energy into a single piece of equipment until it reaches its limit. For example, this suit of armor you're wearing, Purple Night, is made from Turtle Shell Steel, which is quite good material. I estimate that Purple Night can still undergo at least two more infusions, but if there are too many, the Turtle Shell Steel may not be able to withstand the backlash of your spiritual energy, causing the spirit armor to crack."

  Su Dong asked curiously: "According to this theory, if I find the best materials in the world, can't I keep strengthening the Ling Jia and make it the best Ling Jia in the world?"

  This theory of repeatedly strengthening the armor and war axe is really astonishing, as the saying goes, a hundred refinements make steel! The ice system casting master actually used a technique of thousand hammers and hundred refinements!

  "Technically, it's feasible, but those top-tier materials, such as meteorite blue, dragon steel, and phoenix steel, are extremely hard to find, even more precious than heavenly treasures. Moreover, ice-element casting has the ability to repeatedly strengthen itself, but it also tests the caster's innate talent; if not applied well, it can easily ruin a spiritual weapon."

  "You mentioned last time that when you used the ordinary casting master's star wheel, it inadvertently caused the star wheel to run automatically. Do you know why?"

  Su Dong shook his head, indicating he didn't understand.

  "That's because their Casting Platform was originally designed with the limited abilities of the casting masters in mind, so a special sensor was added to prevent the creation of defective products."

  "And our ice sculpture requires full manual operation!"

  "Fully manual?"

  "Yes! Every detail requires your hands to achieve it, and you must be meticulous. Any mistake can lead to a complete failure."

  After hearing Huan Yu's words, Su Dong couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder, indeed there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

  Ice forging can repeatedly strengthen a piece of equipment or armor, allowing it to reach its strongest state. Correspondingly, the difficulty of ice forging is also very abnormal.

  It is indeed true of the old saying, the strongest are often the most difficult.

  "You understand now, when you mentioned that surname Ye's casting master earlier, I didn't take him seriously at all. The reason is that he only pursued grades and didn't consider techniques, so he was destined to use that rough, lowest-level casting platform for his entire life, creating goods without any special features."

  "When you master the ice-type casting, you'll find that except for Ice God's Heavenly Platform, all the Casting Platforms under the sky, and all the Casting Arts under the sky, are just child's play! Not worth mentioning at all!"

  Meng Yu became more and more excited as he spoke, his voice even began to tremble with emotion! His tone also started to become hoarse!

  "This is Ice-type casting! It's pursuing the ultimate of the ultimate! The peak of the peak!"
