This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 392 - 97: No Longer the Same as Before this Month (Extended - )_3

Chapter 392 -97: No Longer the Same as Before this Month (Extended Chapter)_3

So even though Hao Yi successfully broke through to the Martial Arts Master realm today, he did not gain any extension to his lifespan.

The three years of life that were returned to him from his blade were spent, leaving him, theoretically, three years left to live, actually a little more.

But even that lifespan was consumed in that last strike.

Without doing so, he could not have defeated Xu Jing, who possessed three Divine Skills and was only a step away from becoming a Grandmaster.

“At that time, Xu Jing was constantly attacking me with the Water Control Divine Power. If I had to strike with all my might, I would surely have been killed by the Water Control Divine Power first.”

Hao Yi explained to the two of them, “So I exchanged the last bit of my lifespan for Life Essence.”

Put simply, he converted his lifespan into an ‘HP bar’. At that moment, like Li Fei, his ‘HP bar’ was very thick, so he wasn’t killed by Xu Jing’s Water Control Divine Power.

But after such an operation, just as Hao Yi said,

his time was running out.

He had preserved his hope of making a breakthrough for 40 years, and in the end, he had indeed succeeded.

However, time played a cruel ‘joke’ on him.

After listening to his story, both Li Fei and Shangguan Xiao sank into profound sadness.

“Actually, you should be happy for me.” (Note 1)

Hao Yi said with a smile.

“I didn’t have many years to live anyway, rather than wasting away slowly in Xing City and ultimately dying in a sickbed, better to go out with a bang!”

“Now that I’ve successfully broken through the realm, my last battle in this life was also a victory over a Martial Arts Master who was just one step away from Grandmaster. Most importantly, I managed to save you.”

Hao Yi took Shangguan Xiao’s hand with a smile.

This was the first time he had taken the initiative to do so.

In normal times, Shangguan Xiao might have felt a bit shy.

But now, only sadness and reluctance remained in her heart.

“Senior brother…. it’s all my fault…”

“Don’t say that. Even without you, they would have found other ways to force me into Datong Prefecture City. And besides, I wanted to return on my own.”

Hao Yi shook his head.

Then, he picked up the Ghost Slash that he had taken from Li Tianyu, and at the same time, his own blade also floated up.

“I originally intended to leave my own sword to you.”

He said to Li Fei, “But this sword carries my past, my Tao. You should have your own Tao, so I’ve decided to leave it to you in another way.”

His own sword was a Sixth-level Mutant Weapon.

For Exotic Beasts of Mid Third Grade, the highest is Seventh Grade.

A top-quality Seventh Grade Exotic Beast possesses combat power equivalent to the peak of the Tao Foundation Stage.

Above that are the Top Three Grades of Exotic Beasts, which are supremely rare; ordinary martial artists might not see one in their entire lifetime.

Moreover, Exotic Beasts of the Top Three Grades are almost impossible to domesticate, living in great mountains and rivers, deep seas, or ice plains.

They are very hard to find, and even the weakest Seventh Grade Exotic Beast possesses the combat power of a Martial Arts Master.

So a Sixth-level Mutant Weapon is practically the best weapon one can find on the market!

Above that, every weapon is a Divine Weapon!

Hao Yi wasn’t planning on giving this Sixth-level Mutant Weapon directly to Li Fei.

Without any visible action from him, the floating blade suddenly became enveloped in flames.

Then, the Sixth-level Mutant Weapon visibly melted at a rate discernible to the naked eye.

Li Fei sensed a great power within this seemingly insignificant flame; it encompassed everything, filled with endless change!

“Is this the power of Divine Skills?”

Li Fei pondered.

Quickly, under the control of the Refining Objects Divine Power, Hao Yi’s sword was refined into a ball of glowing molten metal.

Hao Yi then slowly integrated this molten metal into Li Fei’s Ghost Slash Blade.

This process was quick, taking only a dozen seconds to complete.

A person with the Refining Objects Divine Power is indeed the greatest Forging Master in the world!

After the integration, Li Fei’s Ghost Slash Blade appeared largely unchanged, save for an additional symbol resembling a flame on the blade.

“Take it.”

Hao Yi handed the reforged Ghost Slash Blade back to Li Fei.

Li Fei accepted the blade with both hands.

“The blade’s original ability to transform remains, and the amplification for the Fire Attribute Innate Qi and Force has increased by about double; the amplification for the Gold Attribute Innate Qi and Force has also significantly improved.

Moreover, I’ve refined the understanding of my final Heaven and Earth One Strike into it. You can constantly contemplate the essence of my last strike and infuse your Mind Power, Essence Blood and Fire Attribute Force into the mark on the blade. If you don’t have Fire Attribute Force, you can use a natural treasure of the Fire Attribute to replace it.

As long as enough power is stored in this mark, it can convert those forces into Tao Power, replicating my Heaven and Earth One Strike.”

Hao Yi explained to Li Fei.

He had completely refined his Sixth-level Mutant Weapon, giving the Ghost Slash Blade two additional functions:

First, it allowed Li Fei to always contemplate his Heaven and Earth One Strike.

Second, it gave Li Fei the ability to reproduce this strike.

“Thank you, Teacher!”

Li Fei held back his grief and bowed deeply to Hao Yi.

Hao Yi’s remaining time had started its countdown; every second from now on was incredibly precious.

But at the end of his life, his first thought was still to do something more for his student.

Hao Yi smiled and nodded, then turned and once again took the initiative to take Shangguan Xiao’s hand:

“I want to spend some time alone with your aunt for what’s left of my time.”

Over thirty years ago, on the night when he failed to break through, he hadn’t thought of leaving time for Shangguan Xiao.

Now, he wanted to give Shangguan Xiao all of his last moments in life.

“Yes.”

Li Fei had no choice but to agree.

Even though he also wanted to spend more time with Hao Yi, talk a little more, he willingly gave his time to Shangguan Xiao.
