Hua Tianxiong was acutely aware of the importance of mental energy for Artifact Refiners, Alchemists, and even for high-level Martial Practitioners looking to elevate their cultivation or master advanced martial arts.
Having cultivated the Earth Tier Low-level Vajra Fist to the Great Perfection stage, he knew that even its most formidable ninth move, "Looking Back at the Moon," could only create a crater ten meters in diameter and five meters deep. Furthermore, the spiritual energy consumed from his Dantian was negligible. Hua Tianxiong could easily execute this ninth move over a hundred times in succession; the spiritual energy within his four Dantians was more than enough to support the unrestrained use of the Vajra Fist.
The energy cost was essentially the same as when Hua Tianxiong performed the standard sword or saber techniques of the Great Qin Empire. This made it clear that the primary reason there were so few Martial General-level practitioners in the Great Qin Empire was the inadequacy of their internal cultivation methods and martial arts. This was a tremendous loss for the warriors of the Great Qin Empire, and it explained why the overall level of martial arts in the Eastern Continent was far below that of the Central Continent.
