After reading through the detailed description of the Heavenly Will Hundred Battles Diagram, Yang Ling clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Judging from the attribute boosts alone, this internal technique seems slightly more powerful than the Vajra Bright King Technique."

"However... the Heart of Ferocity skill gained at Flawless Proficiency is clearly not as impressive as the Vajra Indestructible Body."

"Looking at it from a comprehensive standpoint, the Vajra Bright King Technique probably isn't inferior to the Heavenly Will Hundred Battles Diagram."

"I can't see the details of the Vajra Bright King Technique's fourth layer, but I'd estimate its effects are roughly on par with the Heavenly Will Hundred Battles Diagram's fourth layer."

But... Yang Ling still remembered that when he first obtained the Vajra Bright King Technique, the details clearly stated there were only four layers.

"Was a portion missing? Or does the fifth layer of the Vajra Bright King Technique require some other method to unlock?"

Yang Ling couldn't figure it out for now, so he could only wait for another opportunity to investigate further.

If worse came to worst, he could pay a visit to the Bitter Awareness Temple and see if there were any relevant clues there.

The Vermilion Iron Falcon had already soared into the sky, flying toward the Devour Heaven Palace.

The flurries of snow hadn't even gotten close before they melted away under the Vital Qi radiating from Yun Tianqing's body.

This layer of Vital Qi didn't just envelop her alone, it also shrouded Yang Ling, keeping him warm.

"Yang Ling, once we return to the Devour Heaven Palace this time, you can begin your closed-door cultivation and prepare to break through to Lower Fifth-Rank."

"With two Devour Heaven Great Rejuvenation Pills and one Nurturing Vitality Essence Pill, that should be more than enough to advance your Devour Heaven Heart Classic further and forge Perfect Vital Qi."

Yun Tianqing's gaze settled on Yang Ling, her eyes noticeably softer than before, and her tone unconsciously gentler as well.

"All thanks to Master for giving this disciple the opportunity, only then could this disciple reap such rewards!"

Yang Ling was filled with gratitude.

He was genuinely grateful.

A single Heavenly Will Hundred Battles Diagram was worth more than everything he'd gained from his previous two dungeon runs combined.

Forget about whether he could advance to Fourth-Rank in the future.

As long as he raised the Heavenly Will Hundred Battles Diagram to Flawless Proficiency...

He'd gain a total of 50 free attribute points!

And he'd also obtain an exclusive skill: Heart of Ferocity!

Fist and kick martial technique power increased by two times!

If he used that in conjunction with the Two-Times Critical Hit from the Wind God Vajra Legs, just how terrifying would the power be?

And if he could try simultaneously circulating three internal techniques: the Vajra Bright King Technique, the Great-Grade Azure Dragon Force, and the Heavenly Will Hundred Battles Diagram...

Then his attribute boosts would undergo a Qualitative Transformation!

"If I add in the attribute bonuses from various equipment and the advantages of my skills, my combat power will reach an entirely new realm!"

"No need to thank me, this time you obtained these benefits through your own strength."

"You also helped me vent a massive amount of pent-up frustration. Xie Huichen may seem perfectly calm on the surface, but with her personality, I'd bet she's already torn you to shreds in her mind."

Yun Tianqing couldn't help but let out a chuckle as she finished speaking.

Yang Ling felt a slight shiver run down his spine. Oh no, it seemed he had offended a Fourth-Rank Grandmaster. He'd need to be more careful when entering that dungeon in the future.

"Master, were you and that Grandmaster Xie fellow disciples in the past?"

Yang Ling asked curiously.

Yun Tianqing seemed reluctant to answer that question, but after thinking for a moment, she still gave a slight nod:

"Mhm, when I was young, I was a disciple of the Heavenly Will Sect, just like Xie Huichen, both of us studied under the same master."

"Unfortunately, that master was a fool who listened to Xie Huichen's instigations and expelled me from the sect."

"From that day on, I swore that whether it was me or the disciples under my command, we would all suppress Xie Huichen!"

"Master, have you already fought Grandmaster Xie before?"

Yang Ling asked again.

Yun Tianqing paused for a moment, then gently shook her head:

"No, I never had the chance to cross blows with her. The Heavenly Will Sect has a Third-Rank Grandmaster Supreme who made it clear that if I dared to make a move against Xie Huichen, their Third-Rank expert would come pay the Devour Heaven Palace a visit."

"..."

Yang Ling suddenly understood. No wonder his Palace Master master had brought him to the Heavenly Will Sect to settle the grudge.

That Xie Huichen was clearly weaker than his master, yet because she had backing and protection, she didn't need to worry about such grudges at all.

"A Second-Rate sect will always remain a Second-Rate sect. Compared to the heritage of a First-Rate sect, the gap isn't just a little..."

With that thought in mind, Yang Ling casually asked:

"Master, there are quite a few experts in the martial world who can simultaneously circulate two internal techniques. Are there any experts who can circulate three? Or even four?"

Yun Tianqing shot him a glance and frowned:

"That path doesn't suit you. With your talent and the Devour Heaven Palace behind you, you only need to focus on cultivating a single internal technique and raise it to Transcendent."

"It's only those rogue martial artists with insufficient foundations and naturally weak innate abilities who need multiple internal techniques to bolster their combat power.

But that's not a long-term solution. Instead, it will hold back their cultivation progress, and over time, the flaws will surface."

"In short, the martial path cannot be rushed. Steady and solid progress is what allows you to go further."

Yang Ling agreed with that sentiment wholeheartedly. However, he had already come to understand that when it came to learning, he wanted everything. All of it.

He wanted the long-term path, and he wanted the quick path too!

He wanted cultivation level, and he wanted combat power even more!

"As for what you mentioned about circulating three internal techniques simultaneously, that really tests one's control over power."

"Generally speaking, when a martial artist reaches the Lesser Master realm, they have a chance to comprehend 'Micro-Management.' At that point, their control over power far exceeds ordinary people, allowing them to circulate three internal techniques at once."

"But those who genuinely comprehend Micro-Management basically never take this kind of shortcut."

"The Rong State is vast, and there are countless martial artists, but I've only ever seen a few eccentric individuals who could circulate three internal techniques simultaneously."

"But without exception, they've all lost the qualification to advance to Fourth-Rank. They can only unleash extremely powerful combat strength at the Upper Fifth-Rank level, enough that even ordinary Fourth-Rank Grandmasters will treat them with some respect."

After finishing, Yun Tianqing gave Yang Ling a few more words of advice, telling him not to reach for what was beyond his grasp, to steadily and honestly build his foundation, and not to waste the talent he possessed.

Yang Ling, however, was absolutely thrilled. He had already mastered Micro-Management, which meant he could circulate three internal techniques simultaneously!

A few days later, Yang Ling returned to the Devour Heaven Palace and went straight to the Meditation Room.

Meanwhile, at the Heavenly Will Sect on Phoenix Dance Mountain.

Zhang Daochu slowly regained consciousness. A senior sister who had been taking care of him saw this and was overjoyed, immediately rushing off to notify Xie Huichen.

Zhang Daochu opened his status panel the very first moment.

When he saw that the Heavenly Will Hundred Battles Diagram was nowhere to be found, a hint of despair surged into his eyes:

"My internal technique was really robbed!?"

He recalled the scene from that time, and the image of that guy surfaced in his mind.

Zhang Daochu clenched his teeth:

"Yang Ling, I won't rest until you're destroyed!"
