Three months passed by quickly.
Outside the cliff, the sea of clouds was still tumbling. On top of the cliff, the young man was wearing a uniform, holding a great steel sword.
Maybe it was an illusion, or maybe it was because of the environment, but the young man's sword aura gave off the feeling that he was at the top of the world. He was obviously standing in front of you, but it felt like he was standing on a lonely mountain far away. That kind of distance made people want to vomit blood.
After twelve consecutive sword strikes, the young man's eyes were like lightning, piercing through the void. His figure suddenly leaped up, as if he was pouncing down from the peak of a mountain. With a flash of sword light, a terrifying sword mark of three inches deep and three feet long was left on the opposite boulder. It was clean, efficient, and merciless.
Putting the sword back into the scabbard, the young man mumbled to himself, "No wonder the pavilion master wanted me to choose another sword art. This Lone Peak of Thirteen Swords is not just a simple Mid Rank Mortal Realm Martial Skill. It contains such a profound artistic conception that it is way beyond the original scope."
The young man was Ye Chen. In the past three months, he had completed the training of the Lone Peak of Thirteen Swords with his super comprehension ability. But recently, he realized that the Lone Peak of Thirteen Swords was not as simple as it seemed. It seemed like it was still missing something. In other words, the Lone Peak of Thirteen Swords was just an incomplete manual. The real manual had probably been lost, which was why it had dropped to Mid Rank Mortal Realm.
Fortunately, the person who was training it was Ye Chen. After a lot of hard work, he not only learned the artistic conception that the Lone Peak of Thirteen Swords did not originally have, but also improved his Qi circulation. He believed that he would be able to train his own Lone Peak of Thirteen Swords in no time.
Also, because of the three months of training, Ye Chen's Qi had reached the Early Mortal Realm Stage 6. His progress was really fast.
"It's time to return the manual." Thinking of the Sky Cloud Martial School's rules, Ye Chen did not dare to delay.
On the way back, Ye Chen's ears twitched. He heard a feminine voice coming from afar. It was at least a mile away, but it was still very clear. It was as if the entire voice had been condensed together and exploded in an instant.
"Such powerful Qi! How strong must one's body be to be able to release it? It sounds like a girl." Unable to contain his curiosity, Ye Chen carefully approached.
After crossing a few thorny meadows, Ye Chen arrived behind a boulder.
Poking his head out, he saw a small forest. Beside the small forest was a wooden hut, and in front of the wooden hut was a small pond. A few lotus leaves floated on the surface of the pond, giving off an artistic feeling.
At the edge of the small forest, a young girl of about 16 years of age, dressed in snow-white attire, was practicing her fist technique while letting out a soul-stirring shout.
Her figure was thin and frail, but each of her punches and kicks were domineering and had a sharp penetrative power.
"It's Senior Sister Xu Jing. Is this a forbidden area?"
Seeing the other party, Ye Chen finally understood.
In the Sky Cloud Martial School, except for the leader and the inner elders who had their own mountains, the rest of the people who wanted to practice martial arts had to find a suitable place. However, although the Windy Mountain was big, the best places to practice martial arts were also limited. Normally, the outer elders and core disciples would take the initiative to occupy a good place and make it a forbidden place. If a normal person tried to break in, they would be scolded, and if it was light, they would be scolded, and if it was heavy, they would be severely punished.
In Ye Chen's eyes, Senior Sister Xu was one of the Core Disciples of the Sky Cloud Martial School, ranked 23rd. She was at the Mid Condensing Reality Realm and was extremely talented.
Xu Jing was using her footwork. Between her punches and kicks, she pressed her tongue against her teeth and channeled her Qi into her abdomen. She kept yelling to increase the power of her fist technique.
After throwing out a few punches, Xu Jing's Qi had reached its peak. She jumped into the air and attacked like lightning, like a tiger pouncing on its prey. Her fist landed on a huge tree that was as thick as a bucket.
Bang! Bang!
An astonishing scene occurred. Dazzling golden light burst forth from Xu Jing's fist and palm, which then converged into a solid substance. She easily broke three trees that were connected in a row. Her momentum was terrifying.
It was Zhen Qi release! Ye Chen squinted his eyes.
When a Mortal Realm warrior transforms his Qi into Zhen Qi, it means that he has officially stepped into the Condensing Reality Realm. Not only would a Condensing Reality Realm warrior's combat power increase, their Zhen Qi would also be able to leave their body and attack people from a distance.
"Come out." Xu Jing had already noticed Ye Chen's arrival. She stared at Ye Chen's position with sharp eyes.
Ye Chen swallowed his saliva and obediently showed himself.
"You are an outer disciple."
"Yes."
"Why are you peeking at me?"
"Your voice traveled too far. I was curious, so I came to have a look."
Xu Jing looked at Ye Chen carefully. His attitude was neither servile nor overbearing, which made her a little curious. If it were any other outer disciple, they would usually stammer in front of her, but Ye Chen's way of speaking was very logical and well-mannered, which made it hard for people to dislike him.
Not planning to cause any trouble for Ye Chen, Xu Jing said lightly: "You can leave now. Don't come here again. "
"Yes."
Leaving the place, Ye Chen let out a breath.
Although Xu Jing's attitude was calm, she gave off an intimidating vibe. He was willing to bet that even if he ran into a core disciple who was ranked higher than her, he would not feel so pressured. It seemed like the core disciple ranking was going to change this year.
Suddenly, Ye Chen smiled.
If it was before, he probably would not be able to say a word in front of Xu Jing. But now, he was able to answer calmly. It must be because of his strong soul.
But what caught Ye Chen's attention the most was Xu Jing's personality. She was indeed cold and unsociable. Normal people would not be able to get close to her. Plus her powerful martial arts, she left a deep impression on people.
Arriving at the Pavilion of Martial Arts.
The pavilion master looked up and recognized Ye Chen immediately. He said meaningfully: "How is it? You haven't mastered the Lone Peak of Thirteen Swords yet, right? It's still not too late to choose another sword art. "
Ye Chen smiled lightly, "No need, I am here to return the manual."
"Okay, please register here."
After signing his name, Ye Chen turned around and was about to leave.
Seeing this, the pavilion master asked curiously: "There are only two months left before the Mu Ren Gang, aren't you going to try harder?"
The Mu Ren Gang was a traditional trial in the Sky Cloud Martial School. It was open once every half a year. Most of the participants were outer disciples. If one could pass the trial, it meant that one's fighting ability was high. If not, then one would have to keep trying. Half a year ago, Ye Chen was beaten to the point of vomiting blood in three breaths and became a laughing stock.
"I think the Lone Peak of Thirteen Swords should be enough for the trial." Ye Chen thought that he would be able to increase his Qi to the Late Mortal Realm Stage 6 in two months. Even if he could not make it into the top ten, he would not be too far behind. Of course, he had not experienced the trial yet, so he was not sure how strong he was.
The pavilion master nodded subconsciously. Then he was shocked, "You mean, you have mastered the Lone Peak of Thirteen Swords? How is that possible?"
"More or less!"
If the pavilion master knew that he had not only mastered the Lone Peak of Thirteen Swords, but also understood the artistic conception and a deeper level of Qi cultivation, what would he think?
Not wanting to reveal too much, Ye Chen walked out.
Even after Ye Chen had left, the pavilion master still could not believe it. He knew that the Lone Peak of Thirteen Swords was incomplete. This sword art was created by the third headmaster of the Sky Cloud Martial School, and was a top rank Mortal Realm. But for some unknown reason, the original copy had been lost, and all that was left was an incomplete copy.
Even so, the Lone Peak of Thirteen Swords was still very hard to learn. After all, the foundation of the Lone Peak of Thirteen Swords was already at the Top Rank Mortal Realm.
"The outer disciples nowadays are too full of themselves." The pavilion master shook his head, obviously not believing what Ye Chen had said.
