"How is this possible?"
The skinny old man's eyes were full of surprise. He couldn't believe what he saw. As far as he knew, Wang Yan, who only knew the first three moves of Blood Sword Finger, could never reach this level. Thinking of this, the skinny old man's eyes narrowed, and then he used the first move of Blood Sword Finger to attack Wang Yan's face.
This move was sudden. Fortunately, the speed of the skinny old man's sword finger was not fast. When Wang Yan came back to his senses, he raised his wrist and dodged the skinny old man's finger. Then he pointed his sword finger down and attacked the skinny old man's wrist. This move was the second variation of the second move of Blood Sword Finger.
"Good!"
The skinny old man shouted. Before his voice died away, his sword finger changed as he twisted his wrist. He avoided Wang Yan's wrist and attacked Wang Yan's elbow. The skinny old man's change of moves was exquisite, but it was still not fast. Wang Yan naturally understood the skinny old man's intention to test him. He immediately calmed his mind and countered the moves. His sword finger went back and forth among the nine variations of the first three moves of Blood Sword Finger. He was not at a disadvantage at all.
After a long time, the skinny old man withdrew his right hand and looked at Wang Yan with burning eyes. He said, "Genius, genius!"
Wang Yan was a little scared by the skinny old man's fiery eyes. He only felt that his Blood Sword Finger had a breakthrough, but he didn't know what it was. As for the changes of the Blood Sword Finger in the martial arts information, he also noticed it, but he didn't understand it either.
"With just the first three moves, you were able to cultivate the [Blood Sword Finger] to such a level. Such comprehension is really amazing. Since you are so talented, I will not be stingy and give you some pointers today."
The skinny old man's eyes were wrinkled. After saying this, he took out a secret book and said, "What I told you before was not false. The five moves of Blood Sword Finger have fifteen variations. You can only be considered to be at the beginner level if you understand all of them. After that, there are three more realms of Blood Sword Finger.
The first realm is the same as before. You need to practice the changes of the moves to the point where you can change them at will. At this level, you can be considered to have a basic understanding of it.
As for the second realm … "
The skinny old man's voice became softer as he spoke, and it was soon inaudible. However, in the blink of an eye, the skinny old man's whisper rang in Wang Yan's ears again. He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart as he thought of the legendary Secret Sound Transmission.
However, the skinny old man didn't seem to have any intention of explaining. He continued to explain the mysteries of the Blood Sword Finger to Wang Yan. Wang Yan didn't dare to think too much about it. He quickly focused his mind and listened to the skinny old man's explanation. He gradually verified it with his own cultivation.
Just like that, the skinny old man stopped after the time it took for a stick of incense to burn. Finally, he handed the manual to Wang Yan and said, "These are some of my insights into martial arts. I hope it will be of help to you."
The skinny old man spoke with such sincerity that Wang Yan couldn't help but say, "Wang Yan will not disappoint senior's expectations."
The the skinny old man's said it.'s that Wang. Wang Wang Wang Yan didn't.
"Senior?"
Wang Yan looked at the skinny old man blankly. The old man grinned, revealing his yellow teeth, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, two hundred taels."
Two hundred taels?
Wang Yan was dumbfounded. At this time, Zhang Xiaobao came out from behind the bookshelf with a secret manual in his hand. He looked at the skinny old man and scolded, "Old man, are you trying to trick me again? What kind of stupid secret book costs two hundred taels of silver? "
Before the voice died away, Zhang Xiaobao walked to Wang Yan's side. He looked at the secret book that was in each of their hands. There were four words written on the cover of the secret book. Reality and Illusion Coexist.
The skinny old man ignored Zhang Xiaobao. He just looked at Wang Yan with a playful smile. Wang Yan thought for a moment. Finally, he clenched his teeth and said, "Fine."
After Wang Yan said this, he took out a cloth bag from his pocket. He didn't look at it carefully and threw it to the skinny old man. This was because Wang Yan knew that the bag contained the remuneration that Gu Xiaoyue had given him. There were a total of twenty golden beans, no more and no less. As for Wang Yan's expenses in the Martial Arts Practice Field and the Spirit Pills he bought for his cultivation, he used the silver he earned from selling his spoils of war. However, there wasn't much silver left, so after Wang Yan's extravagance, it could be said that he was back to square one.
"Brother Yan, are you crazy? This old man is good at bluffing people. Don't fall for it. "
Zhang Xiaobao was extremely anxious. Of course, he knew that these two hundred taels of silver were the majority of Wang Yan's savings. Being cheated away by the skinny old man just like that, Zhang Xiaobao's heart ached. However, Wang Yan had already made up his mind. After paying the money, he looked at Zhang Xiaobao and said, "Master Po, this secret book is worth two hundred taels of silver. I know it. If you choose the secret book, let's go."
"You … Ai!"
Zhang Xiaobao let out a long sigh. His face was filled with helplessness. Finally, he fiercely glared at the skinny old man. He pulled Wang Yan and hurriedly left the Library of Sword. It seemed that if he stayed any longer, the skinny old man would swindle all his clothes and pants.
As soon as the two left, the Sword Scripture Pavilion became deserted again. The skinny old man lay back on the rattan chair. He squinted his eyes and looked in the direction where Wang Yan left. He murmured, "If you want to take, you must first give. If you can't even understand such a simple truth, no matter how talented you are, you won't be able to practice the Peerless Martial Arts."
.....
Zhang Xiaobao pulled Wang Yan and ran for hundreds of meters in one breath before stopping. The Master Po's round face seemed to be squeezed together. It seemed that he wanted to say something to Wang Yan. In the end, he just said, "Brother Yan, even if we don't lack money, we should be careful in the future. That old thief is really not a good person."
Wang Yan didn't refute. He just nodded and said, "There won't be a next time."
"Well, then I'll go back. I'm going to practice the swordsmanship I just chose. Since you have to take the quiz tomorrow, I won't go. But don't worry, I'll go to talk to Gu Xiaoyue at seven in the morning."
Zhang Xiaobao said and took out the secret manual he had just chosen from the Sword Scripture Pavilion. Wang Yan glanced at it and saw the words "Origin-Restoring Sword" written on the cover of the secret manual. Wang Yan had heard of this swordsmanship. It was said that this swordsmanship was good at defense. It was related to the "Essence Condensation Sword Technique". There were some unique and ingenious ways of using the Sword Qi.
Zhang Xiaobao held the secret manual in his hand and shook it. Then, with a flash of white light, the secret manual disappeared into thin air. Zhang Xiaobao's eyes flashed with a strange light. Such a scene could only be described as strange. However, Wang Yan did not find it strange at all. After half a month under Gu Xiaoyue's tutelage, Wang Yan had come to understand many things. For example, Zhang Xiaobao's current behavior was merely a player's method of learning Secret Manuals. Hence, Wang Yan had never studied Secret Manuals in front of others. Occasionally, he would flip through them casually.
"Okay, I'm leaving. Be careful."
Zhang Xiaobao came back to his senses and waved at Wang Yan. Then, he turned around and used his Qinggong to fly into the distance. His figure quickly disappeared into the night. Seeing this, Wang Yan didn't stay any longer. He used his Power Walking Technique and flew towards the back of the mountain.
The outer sect was especially quiet at night. In addition, during this period of time, there were heavy casualties among the outer sect disciples. Therefore, during this period of time, the outer sect's defense was especially weak. If someone sneaked up the mountain and took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, the consequences would be unthinkable. However, for some unknown reason, after nightfall and before dawn, there had never been a situation where the loose practitioners of the pugilistic world attacked in large numbers. Even if someone sneaked in occasionally, it would only be two or three thieves.
Because of this, Wang Yan walked very fast. After half an hour, he passed through the peach forest at the foot of the mountain and arrived at the Ice Moon Wintry Pond.
For the past half a month, other than helping Gu Xiaoyue kill people every day, Wang Yan spent the rest of his time either in the training field or in the Ice Moon Wintry Pond. Of course, because of the Precious Warm Sun, he almost always came in the middle of the night, so no one noticed him.
With the help of the Precious Warm Sun and the Ice Wall, even though Wang Yan could only train for four to six hours a day, he still managed to accumulate nearly 4000 points in half a month. However, tonight, Wang Yan didn't come here just to train.
'Sword Origin Heart Sutra, Yellow Level Upper Grade Inner Force, Current Progress – Fourth Stage (3867/32000)'
The 《Detailed Explanation of Sword Origin Heart Sutra》 was still effective in training the fourth stage of the Sword Origin Heart Sutra. The original 40,000 points required were reduced to 32,000 points. Even so, if Wang Yan wanted to break through the fourth stage of the Sword Origin Heart Sutra, it would take at least a few more months with his current training speed. If it was in the past, Wang Yan would naturally have to train slowly. However, for the past half a month, Wang Yan had been fighting between life and death every day.
Wang Yan took a deep breath and sat cross-legged on the Frost Jade Ice Wall. After calming his mind and emotions, he looked at the Experience Points section of the Cultivation Status Panel.
"Current Experience Points: 52680"
These experience points were Wang Yan's biggest gain from following Gu Xiaoyue for more than half a month. They were exchanged for hundreds of people dying under his sword. Wang Yan hadn't made any rash moves, but now that a storm was brewing and tomorrow was the quiz, Wang Yan couldn't afford any accidents. Therefore, he decided to break through the Sword Origin Heart Sutra tonight.
Whoosh!
Following Wang Yan's thoughts, his experience points began to decrease rapidly, while the progress of the Sword Origin Heart Sutra increased rapidly. After a few breaths, his experience points stopped decreasing and stopped at 24548, while the proficiency of the Sword Origin Heart Sutra increased to 31999.
Just one step away, Wang Yan didn't waste any time. He immediately closed his eyes and calmed his mind, activating the Inner Force in his body. Half an hour later, white steam rose from the top of Wang Yan's head. Following which, crackling sounds could be heard from within his body. After a while, he gradually opened his eyes. His eyes were filled with joy.
