After they finished their porridge and had lunch, Liu Suifeng pulled Xiao Chen to the side, "If I am not wrong, your little Spirit Fox should have the bloodline of a Six-Tailed Spirit Fox."
Xiao Chen nodded, "Is there a problem?"
Liu Suifeng said seriously, "If there is no need, do not bring this little fellow out of Qingyun Peak. As the saying goes, do not reveal your wealth. Ye Chen, you should understand this!"
Xiao Chen felt it was strange, "Could it be that there are no rules in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion?"
Liu Suifeng shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Naturally, this Qingyun Peak is a pure land. However, the Heavenly Saber Pavilion is filled with all sorts of people. It is not the pure land that you think it is. The strong preys on the weak; this happens every day."
Xiao Chen frowned slightly and could not help but think about Liu Chen and the other outer disciples. If the Heavenly Saber Pavilion is filled with such people, then Liu Suifeng's words are really thought-provoking.
After lunch, Bai left the dueling grounds with Xiao Meng without any conscience. Xiao Chen knew it did not like to stay in the Spirit Blood Jade. Since there was no danger in Qingyun Peak, he did not bother with it.
"Ye Chen, I have something to do in the afternoon. I cannot accompany you. Sorry!" Liu Suifeng said apologetically to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen nodded. Liu Suifeng did not impatiently guide him for the entire morning. He was already very grateful. There was no need to force him to continue guiding him in the afternoon. Furthermore, the eight basic movements of the saber did not require any guidance.
When Liu Suifeng saw Xiao Chen nod, he smiled and said, "You are a good friend. I will take my leave first. Remember not to remove the metal bars on your body. If my sister sees it, I will be in trouble."
Seeing Liu Suifeng leave, Xiao Chen smiled faintly. He was not in a rush to practice the Basic Saber Techniques. He warmed up his body and waited for the food in his body to be completely digested.
Xiao Chen started to run along the dueling grounds. He relied on the strength of his physical body to slowly run. After jogging in the morning, Xiao Chen had already felt the benefits of cultivating after his body reached its limit. The effect was several times better than usual.
After a while, Xiao Chen slowly ran five or six laps. This time, he could clearly feel that the rocks on the ground seemed to have a mysterious suction force. With every step he took, he would expend a lot of energy.
This feeling was a little familiar. After thinking for a long time, Xiao Chen finally remembered where he had encountered this feeling before. Back in the Sage Remnant in Savage Forest, Xiao Chen had exhausted a lot of Essence with every step he took toward the stone platform that towered into the sky.
There was a huge difference between the two. One absorbed physical strength, while the other absorbed vitality. However, they both achieved the same result through different means. With every step he took, he would immediately consume a bit of energy. It was just that he did not know if the two were related.
Sweat slowly covered his forehead. Xiao Chen wiped it away. He could feel his stamina being depleted. Gritting his teeth, Xiao Chen continued to run forward.
Round after round, Xiao Chen ran tirelessly step by step. Relying on his tenacious willpower, he endured the boundless loneliness. In the vast dueling grounds, he ran forward courageously.
Run, run, run. I have not reached my limit yet. I have to continue persevering. After running thirty laps, Xiao Chen felt slightly dizzy. However, he knew that this was not his limit.
Just like that, Xiao Chen ran fifty laps before he slowly stopped. He resisted the urge to lie down immediately.
He slowly sat down cross-legged and entered a state of cultivation. He slowly circulated the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation. Essence slowly flowed through the various meridians in his body.
It was unknown when, but Liu Ruyue was already standing there quietly, watching Xiao Chen silently. When she saw Xiao Chen's desperate appearance, it was like she saw her younger self in his eyes.
Because the older generation had left, the originally bustling dueling grounds became very quiet. However, she still dragged her young body and ran continuously, step by step, just like Xiao Chen was doing today.
Enduring the boundless loneliness and relying on his tenacious willpower, he finally made it to this stage step by step.
The Essence passed through the meridians and entered Xiao Chen's flesh and bones. That numbing feeling came again. The sweat on his body evaporated continuously, giving off white smoke.
The cells in his bones, skin, and flesh started to undergo this intense activity. Under this extreme state, his physical body was continuously tempered by the Essence, becoming stronger.
After a while, Xiao Chen opened his eyes and got up to stretch himself. A series of crackling sounds came from all the bones in his body. Every crisp sound made him feel energized.
"Elder Sister Ruyue, why are you here?" Xiao Chen heard footsteps and turned his head to take a look. He discovered Liu Ruyue, who was still wearing her tight-fitting long robes, slowly walking towards him.
Liu Ruyue smiled faintly, revealing a gentle smile. She perfectly displayed the charm of a mature woman, "That brat Suifeng always goes to Jade Maiden Peak in the afternoon. I was worried, so I came to take a look."
"You should have learned the eight basic movements of the saber, right? Show me now."
Xiao Chen nodded and drew the Lunar Shadow Saber with a 'huang dang' sound. He focused and calmed himself down. Xiao Chen took a step forward with his right foot, and the saber created a strong wind as it swept through the air. This was the first move of the Basic Saber Technique, Sweep.
The saber paused in the air for a moment. Xiao Chen stepped forward with his left foot and brought his legs together. He shouted and chopped down with the saber. This was the second move, Chop!
The instant the saber descended, when it reached the bottom, Xiao Chen did not take a step back. Instead, he pulled the saber up. This was the third move of the Basic Saber Technique, Draw!
Chop, Sweep, Hold, Chop, and Pierce. Xiao Chen executed the remaining five moves together with his footwork without stopping. Although it was somewhat shaky, he managed to do it in one breath.
Liu Ruyue nodded gently at the side. She smiled and said, "Not bad. At least your basic movements and footwork are correct. However, you still lack some momentum and consistency. However, you just have to take it slow.
"You can use the eight basic movements of the saber to exchange moves with me. I will slowly guide you, and you will understand in the future. This Basic Saber Technique was refined by our ancestors after tens of thousands of years. It is very important to a bladesman. "
When Xiao Chen heard that Liu Ruyue wanted to use the Basic Saber Technique to exchange moves with him, he was overwhelmed by the favor. A Medial Grade Martial Saint was willing to exchange moves with him and teach him the Basic Saber Technique step by step. No one had ever received such treatment before.
"Elder Sister Ruyue, this is not appropriate. It is just a Basic Saber Technique. I can practice it myself. There is no need to waste your time," Xiao Chen rejected.
An impatient expression flashed on Liu Ruyue's pretty face. She said, "Stop wasting time. As a man, can you be more direct? Being so wishy-washy is even more annoying than a woman."
Xiao Chen did not dare to disobey. He sheathed his saber and stood opposite of Liu Ruyue. Only then did Liu Ruyue reveal a smile, "That's more like it. I will make the first move."
Right after Liu Ruyue spoke, a cold light flashed. The small saber in Liu Ruyue's hand moved forward and pierced towards Xiao Chen's chest. This was the Basic Saber Technique's Pierce Formula.
It was a simple stab, but Liu Ruyue's aura was like a rainbow. No one dared to underestimate it. Xiao Chen remembered their agreement. He could only use the eight basic saber techniques to break this move. He quickly executed the Pull Formula and swung his saber upwards, blocking Liu Ruyue's move.
This was not a true battle; they were just exchanging moves. Thus, there was no killing intent. During the exchange, Liu Ruyue would occasionally give Xiao Chen pointers, telling him of his mistakes.
Then, she would make her own move and demonstrate the correct Saber Technique to him. Her expression was extremely serious. Xiao Chen's talent was high in the first place. After exchanging moves, he improved very quickly. Slowly, he found the feeling.
The days of Qingyun Peak passed peacefully like this. Liu Ruyue insisted on coming every afternoon to exchange moves with Xiao Chen. Aside from practicing the Basic Saber Techniques, Xiao Chen would take time out during the day to run a few laps around the dueling grounds.
Every day, he would push his body to its limits. Then, he would immediately start cultivating, tempering his body at his limits. Now, Xiao Chen could easily run a hundred laps around the dueling grounds.
In the middle of the night, Xiao Chen would lie on his bed and read the Flowing Cloud Scripture that Lu Chen gave him. He would sort out the meridians in his body that were in a mess due to cultivating the Battle Sage Origins.
This was one of the rare peaceful days he had since he left Mohe City. He could systematically sort out the Martial Techniques and knowledge that he had learned. Normally, if he had any questions regarding Martial Techniques, he could ask Liu Ruyue for guidance. She would always give him a satisfactory answer.
Although his cultivation realm did not increase by much in the past few days, his combat prowess had reached an unprecedented peak.
In the blink of an eye, two months passed just like that. Xiao Chen's Basic Saber Techniques had made great progress. He had already reached the peak of Small Perfection.
After practicing the Basic Saber Techniques to this level, Xiao Chen could clearly feel that when he used the Rushing Thunder Saber Technique again, its might was much stronger than before.
Furthermore, he was able to integrate it better. He was just one step away from the fusion that he had not completed in the past, and he would be able to reach a perfect state.
In the end, there were still some unfortunate matters. Even when he tried to ask her about learning Listening to the Sword and Communicating With It, he was rejected by Liu Ruyue. She said that it was not the right time yet.
Since he had a favor to ask, Xiao Chen could not be too forceful. The most important thing was that Liu Ruyue had treated him very well in the past two months.
On this particular day, Xiao Chen woke up very early as usual, preparing to rush to the dueling grounds. The instant he opened the door, he discovered Liu Ruyue, Shao Yang, and Xiao Meng standing outside with smiles on their faces.
Xiao Chen asked with some doubts, "What day is it today? Don't we have to go to the dueling grounds? Why are you all here? "
Liu Suifeng giggled, "You are right. There is no need to go to the dueling grounds today. I was afraid that you would not be able to meet anyone and miss us. So I came to tell you this news in advance."
Liu Ruyue smiled warmly and continued the topic, "Today is the day the Supreme Elder of the Divine Saber Camp is giving a lecture at the Heaven Ascending Platform. That is a true Supreme Elder; he is a Martial Monarch. So I decided to go with all of us."
A Martial Monarch Supreme Elder. A fervent light flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes. His calm heart actually started to fluctuate. However, this was not surprising. Martial Monarchs were already the strongest cultivators in the Great Qin Nation.
