"However, because it is incomplete, it can only be compared to the Cloud Stepping Skill, but it is not as good as it."
"Moreover, it is extremely difficult to practice it. Only Asura Wu Zun can practice it to a high level. Even Asura Wu Zun can't practice it to a high level without a high level of comprehension," Elder Zhuge reminded him.
After receiving Elder Zhuge's inheritance, Xing Jue wanted to go back to his cave as soon as possible to study the Phantom Thunder Swift Skill.
However, who would have thought that Elder Zhuge had the intention to let Xing Jue stay and arrange a place for Xing Jue to stay. He also told Xing Jue to ask him if there was anything he didn't understand.
How could Xing Jue refuse Elder Zhuge's kindness? He knew that even though Elder Zhuge said that he couldn't practice it successfully, he still hoped that Xing Jue could. That was why he asked Xing Jue to stay here.
Moreover, the cave that Elder Zhuge lived in was very big. The place that he arranged for Xing Jue was also very comfortable. The pavilion was so high that one could see the moon, and the water was so clear that one could see the bottom. It was indeed a good place to rest.
Xing Jue stood in the middle of the bamboo forest. Occasionally, he could see a few cranes flying past. These cranes were very beautiful and were not ordinary. They were spirit beasts. They should have been reared by Elder Zhuge.
Although Elder Zhuge's cave was very beautiful, Xing Jue didn't have the time to enjoy it. Because at that moment, he was wholeheartedly practicing the Phantom Thunder Swift Skill.
In the bamboo forest, Xing Jue's figure flashed. However, Xing Jue's speed was not as fast as his Imperial Wind Skill. Compared to his normal speed, it was also slower.
But what was different was that Xing Jue's running pace was very special. It seemed like he was walking and running at the same time. It seemed like he was moving like the clouds and flowing like water. It was very mysterious. It was impossible to predict where his next step would be, forward or backward, forward or backward.
Xing Jue practiced day after day. In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed. The huge bamboo forest was covered with his footprints. However, apart from the fact that his steps were more mysterious, his speed didn't seem to have improved much.
During these ten days, besides eating and sleeping, Xing Jue practiced this skill non-stop. He didn't even gather the Shura Power or soak himself in the fourth-rank Body Refining Essence. He spent all his time practicing the Phantom Thunder Swift Skill.
"I didn't expect him to master the Phantom Thunder Swift Skill so quickly. The Phantom Thunder Swift Skill is really good. His comprehension is not low." Elder Zhuge was secretly watching Xing Jue practice in the air above the bamboo forest.
"But it's a pity that he only has the form but not the power. This won't do. After all, the Phantom Thunder Swift Skill relies on the lightning power to increase his speed."
"As expected, his body can't turn into lightning power before he reaches Shura Wu Zun. Sigh, this stubborn child. Isn't he delaying himself by being so stubborn?" Elder Zhuge shook his head helplessly. Then, he let out a long sigh and disappeared with a slight shake of his body.
"Is he gone?"
Just at this moment, Xing Jue, who was running wildly in the bamboo forest, suddenly stopped. He raised his head and looked in the direction where Elder Zhuge was previously. After which, he gave a strange smile and once again stepped forward.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh ~ ~ ~"
However, this time, Xing Jue's speed was more than twice as fast as before. He was much faster than when he used the Imperial Wind Skill.
Moreover, looking closely, with every step Xing Jue took, there would be a dazzling lightning. He had actually gradually grasped the mystery of the Phantom Thunder Swift Skill.
The Phantom Thunder Swift Skill was originally a Middle Royal Level Battle Skill. According to Elder Zhuge, it was an improved version because the complete Phantom Thunder Swift Skill was a High Royal Level Battle Skill.
It was an ultimate movement battle skill that could turn into lightning and run in the sky. Even the current strongest movement battle skill in the world, the Cloud-stepping Technique of the Heaven's Way Peak, was far inferior to it.
Although the Phantom Thunder Swift Skill was an incomplete version and could not be compared to the complete version that dominated the world, it could only be classified as a Middle Royal Level Battle Skill. However, it was still extremely difficult for him to cultivate.
Logically speaking, only the Asura Martial God could cultivate it to completion. At least, only Shura Wu Zun could cultivate it to completion. Otherwise, his body would not be able to adapt to the rhythm.
However, Xing Jue was a freak because his Soul Power made him different from others. Originally, Xing Jue had followed the cultivation method of ordinary people, but his progress was very slow. If he continued like this, he might not be able to succeed.
However, later on, Xing Jue thought of using his Soul Power and combining it with the Soul Devouring Technique. He used it together with the Phantom Thunder Swift Skill. This special method had unexpectedly achieved an unexpected result.
Now, Xing Jue's cultivation speed could be said to have increased by leaps and bounds. According to Xing Jue's estimation, he would be able to cultivate the Phantom Thunder Swift Skill to completion in another 20 days. At that time, even experts like Shura Wu Zun would not be able to catch up with his speed.
However, this kind of cultivation speed was too abnormal. It was so abnormal that Xing Jue did not know how to tell others. Hence, he decided to hide it from Elder Zhuge for the time being. After a period of time, when the old man could bear it, he would then show it to him.
In the blink of an eye, it had been a month since Xing Jue came to the Zhuge Cave. At that moment, Xing Jue was still running at full speed in the bamboo forest. However, at that moment, he was no longer cultivating. He was testing the results of his cultivation.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
As Xing Jue ran in the bamboo forest, his figure could no longer be seen clearly. All that could be seen was a flash of lightning flashing past and disappearing.
The reason why there was such an illusion was not that Xing Jue had turned into lightning. It was because his entire body was wrapped in lightning. In addition, his speed was too fast. When he ran, it was just like lightning, which was shocking.
Swoosh!
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Suddenly, Xing Jue stopped in his tracks. The lightning tail that was following behind him also flowed into his body, setting off a series of ear-piercing thunder sounds.
"It's time to leave this place."
Dispelling the lightning on his body, the corner of Xing Jue's mouth curled up into a smile of anticipation. He had already mastered the Illusory Lightning Dashing. With such an agility battle skill, coupled with the Limitless Palm Technique and the 8th stage of the Heavenly Note Technique, he would definitely be able to defeat Xing Jue.
Even if he encountered a high-level Asura Martial Master, Xing Jue was confident that he could fight against him. With such combat strength, Xing Jue could already accept more difficult sect missions. Only then could he accumulate enough merit faster and qualify to participate in the test to become a true disciple.
"Xing Jue, are you leaving?"
"Thank you, Master, for taking care of me these days. However, I still need to accumulate merit. I can't stay any longer."
"Yes. Accumulating merit is a big thing for me. Although I have a large amount of merit here for you to use, if I give it to you without permission. It will go against the wishes of the first Sect Master. "
"After all, he set up this merit system so that the disciples of the Hermit Peak can benefit the common people. It is for the sake of the common people." Elder Zhuge stood in front of the cottage and said to Xing Jue with guilt.
"I understand!"
Xing Jue knew that Elder Zhuge must have a large amount of merit in his hands. However, the Hermit Peak had a rule that forbade the elders from passing the merit to the disciples. If it was discovered, the consequences would be unimaginable. It might even be more serious than killing a fellow disciple.
The reason why the first Sect Master set up such a strict rule was out of good intentions. The mission of the Hermit Peak was to eliminate evil for the common people and protect the peace of the world. Compared to the methods of the other forces, the Hermit Peak was more righteous.
Furthermore, Xing Jue could sense that Elder Zhuge really wanted to help him. After all, if he passed the merit to Xing Jue, Xing Jue would be able to save a lot of time and focus on cultivation.
However, Xing Jue could understand Elder Zhuge's difficulties. That was why he hadn't planned on getting merit from Elder Zhuge. From the start, he had planned on relying on himself to gather 100,000 merit points.
"Sigh, as your master, I haven't taught you any self-defense techniques. I won't be at ease if you go out on a trip.
"How about this. I will make an exception today and teach you another battle technique. With your talent, it shouldn't be difficult for you to cultivate it."
Elder Zhuge didn't know that Xing Jue had already mastered the Illusion Thunder Dash. He had thought that Xing Jue had failed and wanted to leave because he was discouraged. That was why he felt so guilty and wanted to break his own rule to teach Xing Jue another battle technique.
"Master, I …"
* Pow *
Xing Jue originally wanted to refuse Elder Zhuge's good intentions. However, before he could finish speaking, Elder Zhuge's index finger had already touched Xing Jue's forehead again.
At this moment, Xing Jue could clearly feel that an Advanced King Tier battle technique called the Vajra Cover had already entered his mind.
The Golden Bell Cover was a defensive battle technique. If it was mastered, it would be comparable to a Primary King Tier battle technique. Its defensive power was extremely shocking and it was the best battle technique to protect one's life.
Moreover, in order to help Xing Jue master the Vajra Cover faster, Elder Zhuge had also passed on his cultivation experience when he passed on the cultivation method.
"Thank you for your gift, Master." Xing Jue couldn't say anything to repay this kindness, so he could only give a big gift again.
At this moment, Xing Jue's heart was filled with warmth. Although he had only spent a short month with Elder Zhuge, and it was Elder Zhuge who secretly observed him every day without saying anything, Xing Jue could feel that Elder Zhuge was definitely an excellent master.
However, Xing Jue could feel that Elder Zhuge was definitely an excellent teacher. There was absolutely nothing wrong with his disciple. This also made Xing Jue feel that it was very worth it to go through the test and assessment and become Zhuge's disciple.
In the vast square in front of the heavy stone door of Zhuge Cave, a large number of new disciples gathered as usual. Some of these people had just accumulated 1000 merit points and wanted to become Zhuge Cave's disciple.
* Squeak * Some had failed the test, but they didn't give up. They once again accumulated enough merit points and came here again, wanting to give it a try. This was the charm of Zhuge Cave.
* Creak *
With a muffled sound, the heavy stone door began to open. At this moment, the hundreds of disciples in the square began to stir. They all thought that Zhuge Cave's test was finally about to begin.
"Who … Who is this?"
However, when the stone door was completely opened and a skinny figure walked out, the disciples could not help but be stunned. This was because they realized that the person in front of them was not only wearing the uniform of a new disciple, but also had the strength of a Beginner Asura Martial Master. He was far weaker than them and was obviously not a true disciple who was testing them.
"This is Xing Jue, the genius who successfully became Elder Zhuge's disciple a month ago!!!"
At this moment, there was a sudden shout from the crowd. When they heard the two words Xing Jue, the crowd looked at Xing Jue and their gazes instantly changed from despise to admiration and admiration.
"Heh …"
Faced with the crowd's ignorant behavior, Xing Jue smiled faintly. He had long been used to this kind of situation. After all, in this world, strength was respected.
* Swoosh *
However, just as Xing Jue was about to leave, his expression changed. This was because a figure dashed out from the crowd like a ghost and appeared in front of Xing Jue in an instant, blocking his way and emitting intense anger.
"You're finally willing to come out. I thought you were going to hide for the rest of your life!"
