Gu Qi came here mainly to teach Xiao Chen martial skills. During the Two Sects' Grand Meet, Gu Qi had taught Xiao Chen the Tiger Stampede. Xiao Chen had no problems with movement martial skills, but in terms of attacking methods, Gu Qi felt that Xiao Chen paled in comparison.
Although Xiao Chen had mastered quite a few martial skills, they were basically all Earth Class martial skills. He only had the Ganjiang Finger Sword as a Heaven Class martial skill. Moreover, the Ganjiang Finger Sword could only be used as a sure-kill move because it consumed too much of the body's spiritual energy.
Although Earth Class martial skills were not bad, at Xiao Chen's level, the effects of Earth Class martial skills were not that obvious.
They were all geniuses, and without a Heaven Class martial skill, it would be difficult to gain an advantage in battle. Therefore, Gu Qi taught Xiao Chen the Heaven Class low-grade martial skill, Square Heaven Sword Shadow.
The Square Heaven Sword Shadow was not a martial skill of the Celestial Equal Sect, but Gu Qi's personal collection. He gave it to Xiao Chen without hesitation, which showed how much Gu Qi valued Xiao Chen.
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Qi left without waiting for Xiao Chen's reply. Holding the Technique Relaying Jade in his hand, Xiao Chen did not know what to say. This cheap father-in-law was not that bad, at least he treated him well.
Without hesitation, Xiao Chen went back to his room and used the Technique Relaying Jade that recorded the Square Heaven Sword Shadow. A huge amount of information flowed into Xiao Chen's mind. This was the cultivation method of the Square Heaven Sword Shadow.
It had to be said that as a Heaven Class martial skill, even if it was only a low-grade one, the power of the Square Heaven Sword Shadow was far from what an Earth Class martial skill could compare to.
Moreover, the Square Heaven Sword Shadow and the Ganjiang Finger Sword could be said to complement each other. The Ganjiang Finger Sword focused on a sure-kill move, so when the finger was used, the spiritual energy in the body would be consumed by more than half. However, the Square Heaven Sword Shadow was different. In a fight, the Square Heaven Sword Shadow was obviously stronger than the Ganjiang Finger Sword.
With both the Square Heaven Sword Shadow and the Ganjiang Finger Sword, Xiao Chen could use the Square Heaven Sword Shadow to fight with his enemies in the future, then find an opportunity to use the Ganjiang Finger Sword to kill him in one blow.
It was very suitable for Xiao Chen's current situation. It was not hard to guess that this Sky Sword Shadow was probably a Heaven Grade martial art technique that Gu Qi had specially chosen for Xiao Chen. It was also the type of Heaven Grade martial art technique that Xiao Chen needed the most at the moment.
After obtaining the Square Heaven Sword Shadow from Gu Qi, his father-in-law, there was still half a month before the opening of the Hundred Refinements Valley. According to Xiao Chen's understanding, the Hundred Refinements Valley would open for about a month, and then it would be the Sage Sect's selection. Therefore, in the half a month before the opening of the Hundred Refinements Valley, Xiao Chen planned to put all his attention on the Square Heaven Sword Shadow and strive to successfully cultivate it.
Time passed slowly as he concentrated on cultivating in Gu Lingyao's residence. In this half a month, Gu Lingyao also mysteriously disappeared and did not show up. Xiao Chen was not worried about this, and he was even happy to be free. After all, the matter between him and Gu Lingyao was very awkward. Now, facing Gu Lingyao, Xiao Chen did not know what to say.
He was not worried that Gu Lingyao would be in any danger. He guessed that Gu Lingyao must have been taken away by Gu Qi. In order to prepare for the Hundred Refinements Valley and the Sage Sect's selection, Gu Qi would naturally train Gu Lingyao personally. After all, she was his only daughter, and Gu Lingyao's talent was not bad.
The two of them cultivated separately. At the same time, Gu Qi also sent over many elixirs for cultivation. Every other day, Gu Qi would even personally prepare a medicinal bath for Xiao Chen to make Xiao Chen's body stronger.
Gu Qi valued Xiao Chen no less than his own daughter, Gu Lingyao. And it was with Gu Qi's help that Xiao Chen's cultivation was still rising steadily even though he put all his attention on cultivating the Square Heaven Sword Shadow.
After ten whole days, Xiao Chen had already grasped the basics of the Square Heaven Sword Shadow. He was only one step away from reaching the Entry Realm.
The Entry Realm should not be underestimated. Although it was only the first realm of the martial technique, Xiao Chen was able to reach this step in ten days. This was already embarrassing. Even Gu Qi could not help but be surprised at Xiao Chen's talent.
This was because even when Gu Qi cultivated the Square Heaven Sword Shadow, he took two whole months to reach the Entry Realm. Xiao Chen, on the other hand, probably needed two or three days at most to break through to the Entry Realm. The difference between them was obvious.
Xiao Chen's cultivation speed shocked Gu Qi. Of course, the better Xiao Chen performed, the more gratified Gu Qi would be. This was because only when Xiao Chen was strong enough, he could help in the future and protect Gu Lingyao. This was also Gu Qi's original intention for forcing the two of them to be engaged.
As Gu Qi expected, after two days, Xiao Chen really succeeded in cultivating the Square Heaven Sword Shadow to the Entry Realm.
The Square Heaven Sword Shadow was all about speed. There were no fancy moves. Every thrust of the sword was about speed.
As the saying goes, speed is invincible in the world of martial arts. When one's speed reached the extreme, one thrust of the sword could transform into a sky full of sword shadows. It was impossible for the opponent to react in time and be injured.
In the courtyard, Xiao Chen was constantly practicing the moves of the Square Heaven Sword Shadow. The Scarlet Heaven Sword in his hand was constantly thrusting out. Countless sword shadows enveloped Xiao Chen's surroundings, as if it was a space of its own. One could imagine that if the opponent was trapped in this space, it would definitely be difficult for them to resist.
Of course, these sword shadows were illusory because the speed had reached a certain limit. They were real and illusory, so people did not know how to guard against them.
After a round of practice, Xiao Chen stopped his movements. His forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat. Xiao Chen let out a sigh and shook his head helplessly with a bitter smile.
"It seems like it's impossible to break through the Square Heaven Sword Shadow to the Entry Realm in a short period of time. Forget it, I'll see if there's a chance to break through in the Hundred Refinements Valley. But this Scarlet Heaven Sword is a little useless to me now …"
It would be difficult to break through the Square Heaven Sword Shadow in a short period of time. Besides, this Scarlet Heaven Sword was not of much help to Xiao Chen now.
As Xiao Chen's first treasured sword, the Scarlet Heaven Sword had accompanied Xiao Chen through many trials and tribulations. As Xiao Chen improved, the Scarlet Heaven Sword also gradually showed signs of fatigue. Besides, the Scarlet Heaven Sword was obviously not the best choice in Xiao Chen's hands. The high-grade treasured sword, Ink Dragon, was now the most suitable sword for Xiao Chen.
It was no longer difficult for Xiao Chen to display the power of the Ink Dragon Sword like before. As his cultivation base continued to break through, Xiao Chen could now completely control the Ink Dragon Sword. Compared to the Scarlet Heaven Sword, the Ink Dragon Sword was obviously more powerful. The two were simply incomparable.
Xiao Chen looked at the Scarlet Heaven Sword in his hand with a gentle expression. Since the Scarlet Heaven Sword was already useless to him, he could totally let the Heaven's Path Sword Embryo devour it. However, Xiao Chen was reluctant to do so. After some thought, Xiao Chen finally gave up on the idea of letting the Heaven's Path Sword Embryo devour the Scarlet Heaven Sword.
"Forget it. Although you can't help me much now, it's better for you to stay by my side."
