I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 98 Cultivation Technique Breakthrough
The so-called Gang Skill, as the name implies, is the magic skill for condensing Gang Qi.
Martial Artists, upon reaching the Xuan Gang Realm, naturally are able to condense Gang Qi, transforming the Inner Strength True Qi cultivated previously into a denser, more profound, and powerful True Yuan.
At that point, once released from the body, it is no longer True Qi, but a more distant and variable Gang Qi.
However, this common Gang Qi is generally not very strong, and the speed of transformation from True Yuan to Gang Qi is also very slow.
Thus, most Martial Artists, upon stepping into the Xuan Gang Realm, would specifically cultivate a Gang Skill for condensing Gang Qi, not only to increase their speed of condensing Gang Qi but also to add some attributes to their own Gang Qi with some special Gang Skills.
Most Great Sects and families pass down a Martial Arts technique that includes a Gang Skill for Martial Artists to cultivate upon reaching the Xuan Gang Realm, which then naturally leads to the direct cultivation of the Gang Skill.
Of course, it's also possible not to cultivate a Gang Skill, since reaching the Xuan Gang Realm one can condense Gang Qi regardless.
However, during regular cultivation or combat, they would be a step behind others, so whether they are from a Sect or are Loose Cultivators, those in the Xuan Gang Realm always seek to obtain a Gang Skill.
Han Zheng's skills were all breakthroughs using the Taotie Furnace, which of course wouldn't be so considerate as to include a complimentary Gang Skill during the breakthrough.
Thus, Han Zheng truly needs a Gang Skill in the future to enhance his combat power.
"Thank you for the reminder, Peach Sister, I'll exchange for an Innate Realm cultivation technique this time, it won't cost too many Merit Points."
Currently, Han Zheng had not resolved his issue of lacking pain sensation, not to mention reaching the Peak of Innate Transcendence or even thinking about the Xuan Gang Realm.
Han Zheng was confident that after advancing to the Xuan Gang Realm, he would accumulate enough Merit Points to exchange for a Gang Skill.
This time Han Zheng wanted to exchange for a movement technique that specialized in speed.
Han Zheng reviewed all the cultivation techniques he mastered; he was not lacking in Inner Strength. Although the Black Blood Demon Evil Skill was a Demon Skill, it was a legitimate top-tier technique from a Great Sect and cultivated Demonic Qi was fierce and tyrannical.
In terms of Qi Blood Power, he had the Dragon Elephant Prison, and for body strength, he had the True Martial Refinement, while his Martial Skills were equally formidable.
So, what Han Zheng actually lacked was a speed-oriented movement technique.
Han Zheng's speed was actually not slow.
His powerful physical strength allowed him to leap and pounce explosively, covering dozens of feet almost in the blink of an eye.
Even saying Han Zheng's speed was faster than most Martial Artists of the same level, he had not made any mistakes in combat due to speed.
However, Han Zheng still planned to cultivate a speed-specific movement technique to cover his only shortcoming.
The book contained hundreds of techniques, encompassing Inner Strength, Body Refinement, Martial Skills, and more.
Even those from Taoist, Buddhist, and Demon Paths were all available.
The philosophy of the Demon Cleansing Bureau was different from that of ordinary people in the Martial World; the type of Martial Arts you cultivated had nothing to do with your allegiance.
You could cultivate Buddhist techniques, just don't become a monk.
You could cultivate Demon Path techniques, just don't go on killing sprees.
Thus, an interesting phenomenon within the Demon Cleansing Bureau was that the most numerous were those who cultivated Buddhist and Demon Path techniques.
The former had a strong restraint effect on Demons, which was frequently needed in the Bureau's eradication missions.
The latter offered rapid progress and powerful capabilities, suitable for the Bureau's frequent need for combat missions.
Aside from these, there were even bizarre things such as Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Mechanical Arrays, Poison Making, Gu Worms, and even the more sinister Summoning Gods and Divination.
There were also some speed-oriented movement techniques, and they were not very expensive; the most expensive was only three hundred Merit Points.
For most people in the Martial World, the most expensive would definitely be the cultivation techniques, followed by Martial Skills.
Other items were always considered last.
It was the same within the Demon Cleansing Bureau, where cultivation techniques and Martial Skills were the most expensive.
Han Zheng carefully went through the cultivation techniques and eventually chose the priciest speed-oriented movement technique, "Wind and Thunder Technique," which cost three hundred Merit Points.
Returning to his room, Han Zheng first opened the Taotie Furnace to check his Hunger Level.
After slaying the Mountain God Tree Demon, Han Zheng's Hunger Level had reached an astonishing forty-five thousand eight hundred and forty points, enough for him to splurge on.
Thus, Han Zheng planned to advance all his Innate Realm cultivation techniques to the Xuan Gang Realm, except for the True Martial Refinement.
It was worth noting that, aside from those top-tier Great Sects, not every Xuan Gang Realm Demon Sweeping Colonel in the Demon Cleansing Bureau had all Xuan Gang Realm cultivation techniques and Martial Skills.
Han Zheng, who was currently in the Innate Realm and already possessed so many Xuan Gang Realm cultivation techniques, was considered extravagant.
He did not advance the True Martial Refinement because the Body Refinement techniques were too time-consuming, and the required Hunger Level far exceeded other techniques.
Normally, the Great Sects needed external support from Elixirs to cultivate such Body Refinement techniques.
Han Zheng needed to save some Hunger Level for emergencies, so he had to temporarily give up on the True Martial Refinement.
First to cultivate was the Wind and Thunder Technique that Han Zheng had just received.
This technique could transform the True Qi in the body into Wind and Thunder Power, increasing speed, although the consumption of True Qi would greatly increase.
Upon entering the Taotie Furnace, Han Zheng had only spent a thousand Hunger Points to cultivate it to perfection.
This type of speed and movement cultivation technique was relatively easier to cultivate.
After exiting the Taotie Furnace, Han Zheng checked the cultivation techniques he had perfected.
[Current cultivation techniques that can be breached:
Innate Realm "True Martial Refinement" requires 20,000 Hunger Points for breakthrough
Innate Realm "Black Blood Demon Evil Skill" requires 8,000 Hunger Points for breakthrough.
Innate Realm "Blood Slaughter Shura Blade" requires 5,000 Hunger Points for breakthrough, with an additional 10,000 Hunger Points to merge the Heavenly Blade True Intent
Innate Realm "Wind and Thunder Technique" requires 5,000 Hunger Points for breakthrough.]
Among the cultivation techniques ready to be breached, both the Black Blood Demon Evil Skill and Wind and Thunder Technique were quickly mastered through the Taotie Furnace.
Only the Blood Slaughter Shura Blade had been perfected by Han Zheng through relentless bloody battles over time, gaining a hint of understanding of the Sword Intent, and he was finally able to merge it with Heavenly Blade True Intent for a breakthrough.
The Sword Intent Han Zheng comprehended was simple: "Kill!"
The path of blade inherently follows the extreme route of slaughter, a weapon for battling and killing.
With resolute Killing Intent, the essence of these lies within the blade itself.
However, to think that the merging of Heavenly Blade True Intent in the breakthrough of Blood Slaughter Shura Blade would require 15,000 Hunger Points, even more expensive than transforming the White Ape Extended Arm Fist into Ape Demon Nine Transformations—this was unreasonable.
Han Zheng voiced his confusion.
[The lower Hunger Point requirement for "Ape Demon Nine Transformations" is due to having the essence of the "Nine Heavens Ape Demon Star Picking Map."
As you only comprehended the Heavenly Blade's intent and not its essence, naturally the required Hunger Points for the breakthrough will increase.
If you find the required Hunger Points too excessive, consider attacking the Song Family and seizing the Heavenly Blade Record left by their ancestor, which also contains the essence of the Heavenly Blade, reducing the Hunger Points needed for your breakthrough.]
Han Zheng: "..."
Had he been rebuked by the Taotie Furnace?
Was this entity an emotionless system or a sentient being?
Taking a deep breath, Han Zheng said solemnly, "Proceed with the breakthrough for all except for the True Martial Refinement."
Even if Han Zheng felt it was pricey, the cultivation techniques that needed to be breached still had to be breached.
Besides, he had accumulated over forty thousand Hunger Points and could afford the cost.
The Taotie Furnace's gaping mouth began frantically absorbing the Hunger Points, and after its chewing, three light orbs were expelled, entering Han Zheng's body.
[Innate Realm "Black Blood Demon Evil Skill" has been breached to Xuan Gang Realm "Great Black Heaven Demon Technique," with an initial skill level of 10%]
[Innate Realm "Wind and Thunder Technique" has been breached to Xuan Gang Realm "Wind and Thunder Nine Transitions," with an initial skill level of 10%]
[Innate Realm "Blood Slaughter Shura Blade" after merging with Heavenly Blade True Intent, breached to Xuan Gang Realm "Avici Path Shura Slash," with an initial skill level of 10%]
Carefully sensing the three new cultivation techniques in his mind, a trace of joy appeared on Han Zheng's face.
The Xuan Gang Realm cultivation techniques indeed differed vastly from those of the Innate Realm.
The Great Black Heaven Demon Technique of the Xuan Gang Realm had even eliminated the weaknesses associated with the rapid mastery of demonic techniques and their effects on mental state.
It consolidated the Great Black Heaven Demon Power, the strength of the cultivated demonic techniques was robust and profound, comparable to the Taoist and Buddhist techniques.
Upon reaching the peak, it could even condense the Great Black Heaven Demon Form, passively defending against mental attacks.
In contrast to the Wind and Thunder Technique that only enhanced speed, the Wind and Thunder Nine Transitions, after gathering Wind and Thunder Power, increased the strength at every turn, enhancing one's burst strength.
After nine transformations, it possessed not only the ultimate speed but also a powerful augmentation of Wind and Thunder Power.
Among these three, the most powerful was the Avici Path Shura Slash.
This blade technique condensed extreme Killing Intent; a single slash seemed to cleave open the depths of the Avici Hell, tremendously powerful.
However, the concentration of Killing Intent in this slash was too terrifying and even for Han Zheng's current strength, there was the possibility of losing control and succumbing to it.
Han Zheng could control the other Xuan Gang Realm techniques while still in the Innate Realm.

That included the Moving Mountain from the Ape Demon Nine Transformations, just at a higher consumption of Inner Strength.
However, the Avici Path Shura Slash was particularly special; the backlash was so intense that even with Han Zheng's current strength, it was extremely challenging to handle and had to be used with caution.
