Everywhere Xiao Chen passed, he left behind afterimages. After a long time, the afterimages slowly disappeared.
"I really reached the speed of sound!"
Xiao Chen stopped walking and revealed a joyful smile. After reaching the speed of sound, his body had already started to merge with the air. The friction created would naturally disappear into the wind, and there would not be any intense sonic booms.
Xiao Chen withdrew his smile and said, "Most cultivators can only reach the speed of sound after they advance to Martial King. These Windwalk Shoes allow me to reach the speed of sound when I am a Medial Grade Martial Saint. The two hundred thousand Spirit Stones were not spent in vain.
"If Murong Chong's state of wind did not improve further, then my speed would have already surpassed his. At the very least, I would not be at a disadvantage against him in terms of speed."
Without wasting any time, Xiao Chen continued to test how long his Essence could last if he used the Windwalk Shoes at full power.
After two hours, Xiao Chen looked at the remaining half of his Essence. He said, "It looks like there should be no problem using it for four hours. However, when I fight, I will exhaust more Essence.
"I will only be able to use it for about three hours. However, that is already pretty good."
Xiao Chen took out two Inferior Grade Spirit Stones and held one in each hand. Then, he sat cross-legged on the ground and started to recover his Essence.
After one hour, the Spirit Stones lost their luster and Xiao Chen's Essence was replenished. Only then did he slowly stand up.
When Xiao Chen looked at the courtyard gates, he was surprised to discover that Yun Kexin had arrived at some point in time. He quickly got up and went over, "Senior Sister Yun, are you looking for me?"
A strange look flashed in Yun Kexin's calm eyes. She said, "Ye Chen, you broke through again?"
Xiao Chen nodded and smiled, "En, this is all thanks to the Quintessence Gathering Pill. It probably saved me two months of time."
Even without the Quintessence Gathering Pill, with Xiao Chen's talent and the cultivation speed of the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation, Xiao Chen would not be stuck at peak Inferior Grade Martial Saint for long.
However, being able to save two months was also a great help to Xiao Chen. What he lacked the most now was time.
Yun Kexin's expression turned calm once more. She revealed a smile on her delicate face and said, "Congratulations, I was just passing by to see you. Since you are cultivating, I will not disturb you anymore. Goodbye!"
"Wait a moment!" Xiao Chen stopped Yun Kexin.
Yun Kexin turned around and found it strange. She asked, "Is something the matter?"
Xiao Chen nodded, "Good, I want you to help me test the defensive strength of my artifact. Use your strongest move to attack me."
That jade pendant was not like the Windwalk Boots, it was a defensive Secret Treasure. Xiao Chen would definitely not be able to test it himself, so he would have to find someone to help him.
Yun Kexin teased, "So, you are looking for me to do hard labor. I was wondering what it was. You are looking for me to do hard labor for free."
Xiao Chen could not help but laugh hoarsely. He discovered that after he got to know Yun Kexin, she was not as indifferent as she appeared. She had a cute and mischievous side to her.
However, this Yun Kexin was more genuine. Xiao Chen was easier to get along with. He said, "How about one Quintessence Gathering Pill?!"
Yun Kexin burst out laughing. Her delicate face looked like an orchid. She said, "I was just teasing you. Prepare yourself. I heard that it can block the strike of a peak Medial Grade Martial King. I can only do my best."
Xiao Chen took out the jade pendant and placed it on his chest. He immediately felt a cooling sensation. Like the Windwalk Boots, the formation markings in it instantly connected to Xiao Chen's mind.
It was very convenient to operate. After he got used to it, Xiao Chen had a cautious expression as he said, "Come on, I'm ready!"
Yun Kexin had a calm expression. Soon, she entered a state of mind as calm as still water. She slowly drew the Heaven Ranked Roaming Dragon Saber. The dazzling saber gave off a bright light under the sunlight.
Her aura started to gather quickly. Her calm gaze became as sharp as a saber light. The saber in her hand started to tremble slowly.
The sound of the saber trembling grew louder and louder. It reverberated endlessly in the surroundings. Formless ripples spread out in the air, creating a strong wind.
"Boom!"
The unending sound suddenly merged together and turned into a loud sound rushing to the nine heavens.
The sound dispersed a large patch of clouds in the sky. Without the clouds blocking the sunlight, it was so dazzling that it made one's eyes hurt.
Yun Kexin's aura finally reached its peak. It turned into a sharp saber and shot at Xiao Chen. Her figure followed this aura in the air and headed for Xiao Chen.
She actually did not show any mercy, Xiao Chen thought to himself as he watched Yun Kexin unleash her peak attack. With a thought, a transparent barrier enveloped Xiao Chen.
"Bang!"
When the Heaven Ranked Spirit Weapon struck the barrier, it gave off a loud sound. The surface of the barrier rippled like water.
Xiao Chen, who was within the barrier, felt a huge force. He took two steps back, but he did not suffer any injuries.
On the contrary, Yun Kexin was knocked back by the rebound force. Her complexion was very pale, without any color of blood.
Xiao Chen quickly retracted the barrier and walked over quickly. He asked worriedly, "Are you alright? It is just a test, there is no need to go all out. "
Yun Kexin did not answer Xiao Chen's question immediately. She was stabilizing the chaotic Essence and surging Qi and blood in her body.
After a while, Yun Kexin's complexion slowly recovered. She revealed a smile on her delicate face and said, "It's fine. Since it is a test, I have to do my best. That way, you won't have to worry too much when you fight with others in the future."
Yun Kexin paused for a while before she said, "I have a Heaven Ranked Spirit Weapon. When I execute the Heavenly Melody Saber Technique, my full-power strike is equal to an Inferior Grade Martial King. This barrier did not show any signs of shattering under my full-power strike. It should be able to block the full-power strike of a Medial Grade Martial King."
A Heaven Ranked Spirit Weapon could raise Yun Kexin's attack power by fifty percent. Furthermore, she had a Saber Technique that could raise her attack power. Yun Kexin's attack power was indeed equal to an Inferior Grade Martial King's.
Xiao Chen took out a Quintessence Gathering Pill and tossed it to Yun Kexin, "Many thanks!"
Yun Kexin stretched out her hand and caught the Quintessence Gathering Pill. She smiled faintly and said, "I only found out today that my full-power strike is so valuable. It can be exchanged for a Quintessence Gathering Pill worth close to thirty thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones.
"It looks like when I have time, I have to come here more often. In a few days, I will be rich."
Xiao Chen blushed with shame in his heart. He smiled gently and said, "In that case, I would become a pauper."
The two of them smiled at each other and chatted for a while. Finally, because someone from the Yun Clan came to summon Yun Kexin, they ended their conversation.
After Yun Kexin left, Xiao Chen tried to use the jade pendant on his chest. However, there was no reaction. He could not make contact with it. It looked like it was as Linlang Pavilion said, it could only be used once a day.
After resting for a while, Xiao Chen took out some dry rations from the Universe Ring to eat. After a while, he took out the lightning-attributed high ranked Martial Technique, Wukui Saber Technique.
The Wukui Saber Technique had a total of nine moves. It was a typical lightning-attributed Martial Technique. Its original form was an incomplete Heaven Ranked Martial Technique from the Ancient Era. Later, it was patched up and its might was much weaker than the original.
Many of the martial techniques in the Sky Martial Continent were actually derived from the ancient martial techniques. Only a small portion were created by the later generations.
Patching up an ancient Martial Technique and adding in one's own insights and viewpoints was also a type of Martial Technique. However, it was much rarer than the previous two types.
The reason was none other than the incomplete Martial Technique. It was because the Martial Technique that was patched up would definitely be incomplete. Comprehending an incomplete ancient Martial Technique was much more difficult than deriving or creating one's own insights.
Furthermore, adding in one's own viewpoint and merging it with the viewpoints of an old friend was even more difficult. These two reasons caused this type of Martial Technique to be very rare.
Under the blazing sun, Xiao Chen carefully looked at the Wukui Saber Technique. With just one glance, he was deeply immersed in it. He only managed to finish reading it when it was dusk.
Closing the book, Xiao Chen felt many emotions in his heart. He muttered, "The person who edited this book is truly a genius. Not only did he completely comprehend the thoughts of the ancients, he even corrected a few mistakes. He merged his own comprehension with the wisdom of the ancients, forming a new fusion.
"If this person had not obtained an incomplete copy, the might of this new Wukui Saber Technique would not be any weaker than the ancients'."
The instant he closed the book, Xiao Chen's gaze inadvertently landed on a line of blurry words on the last page of the book. That line of words was written in the Ancient Era, which was the traditional Chinese characters of Earth.
Because the words were blurry and it was traditional Chinese characters, most people would not notice it.
Xiao Chen read it out softly, "The original work was not detailed. Sang Mu revised it in the Year 689 of the Great Qin Era. If there are any inadequacies, please correct me."
Thunder King Sang Mu!
After reading to the end, Xiao Chen was completely stunned. The person who edited this secret manual was actually the Thunder King Sang Mu. If he remembered correctly, the Thunder King was only twenty years old in the Year 689 of the Great Qin Era.
He already had such a horrifying talent at the age of twenty, accomplishing something that others could not do in a hundred years. What kind of person was the Thunder King of a thousand years ago?
Xiao Chen's thoughts wandered. He thought about the time he met this person. Back then, when the Thunder King taught him the Battle Sage Origins' Changing Character Formula, he only said one sentence: One move to break ten thousand techniques, one Qi to shake the world.
Unfortunately, Xiao Chen's talent was insufficient. Even now, he was still confused about this sentence. He did not understand it at all. As a result, when he used the Battle Sage Origins to imitate a Martial Technique, there were too many flaws.
Thinking about the Thunder King, Xiao Chen remembered that promise again. Don't let her cry. Xiao Chen's gaze fell on the Lunar Shadow Saber. He nodded his head solemnly in his heart.
Recollecting his thoughts, Xiao Chen placed the Wukui Saber Technique into the Universe Ring and prepared to practice the Wukui Saber Technique.
The Wukui Saber Technique had a total of nine moves. The first three moves were the foundational Saber Techniques, the foundation of the Wukui Saber Technique. If he wanted to practice the last six moves, he had to completely comprehend the first few foundational Saber Techniques.
The fourth to sixth moves were the sure-kill moves. After executing them, every move could force the opponent into a desperate situation. The seventh to ninth moves were the sure-kill moves. As the name implied, sure-kill meant that the moment the move was executed, it could kill the opponent for sure.
Of course, this was just a saying. The so-called sure-kill did not mean that the opponent would definitely die when the move was executed. It was just a concept.
Xiao Chen placed his right hand on the saber hilt and closed his eyes. His mind was at peace as he entered into a state of meditation.
After an unknown amount of time, night fell quietly. There was no moonlight tonight. The courtyard was pitch-black; one could not even see their fingers if they stretched out their hands. The courtyard was completely silent.
