Xiao Chen remained calm and composed. Amid the sharp attacks of the Inferior Grade Martial Monarchs, he strolled leisurely. As he swung his scabbard, he scattered the incoming attacks.
After Xiao Chen found an opening, he quickly swung his scabbard with the momentum of a thunderbolt. Saber intent and Quintessence exploded out. Many figures were knocked back. After they fell to the ground, they could no longer get up.
Xiao Chen did not go easy on them. Those who got hit had at least a few broken ribs. They would not recover without a month of rest.
The others were even more startled. Furthermore, Xiao Chen had not drawn his saber yet. If he had drawn his saber, the people on the ground would have been dead.
The battle did not last long. Xiao Chen's strong Quintessence held a suppressive advantage over these people.
Xiao Chen was clearly only an early-stage Inferior Grade Martial Monarch. However, when he clashed with them, he easily broke their Martial Techniques. Several people felt confused.
"Dang!"
The tip of the Lunar Shadow Saber struck the ground heavily, giving off a melodious sound. When the black-clad swordsman's companions looked around, none of them could stand up.
Strands of saber intent lingered in the air, still buzzing like a powerful treasure saber humming.
When Xiao Chen saw this scene, he frowned slightly. He still could not control his sixty-percent-comprehended saber intent as he pleased. However, it was already much better than before.
"Xiao Chen, don't be too cocky. When Young Master Gui returns from his mission, just you wait," the black-clad swordsman cursed viciously as he fell to the ground.
Xiao Chen smiled gently and said calmly, "In that case, tell Gui Wu that I, Xiao Chen, will be waiting for him. Even if he does not come, I will go and look for him.
"As for you? Scram now!"
Before the surrounding people's astonished gazes, Xiao Chen raised his leg and kicked the black-clad swordsman into the air. The force was so great that the crowd could not keep up with the speed of the black-clad swordsman flying back.
With anger in one's chest and a person's heart in a bad mood, a real man would take revenge. Since this person dared to snatch Xiao Chen's Spirit Gathering Pearls, he had to be prepared to pay the price. Even until the end of time, he would make him spit it out.
Xiao Chen would have to face Gui Wu sooner or later. How could he fear the black-clad swordsman's threat?
In the eastern part of the city, there was a courtyard for the inner sect disciples. There were quiet cultivation rooms and all sorts of training grounds. The environment was elegant, clean, and simple.
The Rank 1 Spirit Vein in the cultivation rooms was for the owner alone. It was at least ten times better than that of the residential area.
However, the price was also unimaginably expensive. A month's rent would cost a whole 200,000 Upper Grade Spirit Stones.
Although Xiao Chen felt a heartache, he could tell that using just one Spirit Vein's origin was worth this price. Moreover, he needed a spacious and quiet place to comprehend Saber Intent.
"Xiao Chen" Mu "Spirit Spirit Spirit Spirit Lake". and., "He, and and, and, and" Spirit, and, Xiao, King. and, Chen, and and and..
Several hundred meters apart, several similar courtyards could be seen on both sides of the lake. Actually, this was where the inner sect disciples with deep experience lived.
Only those senior disciples who had been in the inner sect for a few years or even a decade could afford the expensive rent. Ordinary people could not afford it.
"Senior Brother Xiao, this is your new residence. There are already maids and servants in the courtyard. If you prefer peace and quiet, you can ask them to leave."
That manservant looked at Xiao Chen respectfully as he pointed to the courtyard.
Xiao Chen looked around and felt very satisfied with his surroundings. He said, "You can leave now. Bring those unrelated people away as well. Just send them food once a week."
After everyone left, Xiao Chen stood under a large tree in the courtyard. He replayed the fight between Feng Xingsheng and Ren Hua in his mind.
After a while, Xiao Chen closed his eyes and stopped thinking about anything. He started to comprehend the inspiration that he had gained.
The large tree was a hundred meters tall, and its leaves fluttered and fell. When the wind blew, the colorful leaves danced in the wind, circling around Xiao Chen.
The white-robed Xiao Chen held the Lunar Shadow Saber in his left hand, his long hair fluttering in the wind. Xiao Chen's delicate face had his eyes tightly shut, looking like he was in a deep sleep.
Four days. Xiao Chen stood under this tree for four days, not doing anything. He did not do anything at all. It was like he was in a meditative state.
Some yellowed leaves stuck to Xiao Chen's head and shoulders. It was like he did not notice them. He did not brush them away, just standing there.
In the quiet courtyard, Xiao Chen was like a decoration. If an outsider came in, they would not discover a living person standing in the courtyard at first glance.
At some point in time, the quiet, decoration-like Xiao Chen suddenly moved. He placed his right hand on the saber hilt and casually swung his saber.
Xiao Chen did not care about the angle, target, or purpose. This saber strike was completely random, following what he had comprehended in the past few days.
Xiu!
A strand of dazzling saber Qi tore through the air. A strong wind blew, and fallen leaves flew everywhere.
The Saber Qi was like a precise scalpel, gently cutting through the fallen leaves that filled the sky, splitting the leaves in front of it in half.
Then, with a flash, they turned into motes of colorful light and disappeared into the air.
The wind was still blowing, and the leaves were still flying. It was like that strand of saber Qi had never appeared at all. After a long time, the wind stopped and the withered leaves fell to the ground in a sparse manner.
Xiao Chen opened his eyes and looked at his surroundings. Everything was the same as before. If it weren't for the many leaves on the ground that had been neatly split in half, Xiao Chen wouldn't have been able to see them.
No one would have discovered that Xiao Chen had just sent out a strand of saber Qi. Furthermore, it was a strand of saber Qi containing a sixty-percent-comprehended saber intent and fifty-percent-comprehended Quintessence.
Just like that, a strand of strong saber Qi appeared silently and disappeared without a trace. None of its aura leaked out.
When Xiao Chen sheathed his saber, he did it cleanly and smoothly. Xiao Chen revealed a faint smile. He said, "I finally managed to execute a perfect sixty-percent-comprehended saber intent.
"However, I have prepared for this saber strike for four days. My opponents on the battlefield would not even give me a second to prepare."
After thinking for a while, Xiao Chen took out a small jade bottle from the Universe Ring. Then, he poured out a Medicinal Pill.
This Medicinal Pill was called the Spiritual Heart Pill. Like the Quintessence Gathering Pill, it was a Rank 8 Medicinal Pill. It could temporarily increase a cultivator's comprehension ability without any side effects.
This was something that Xiao Chen had obtained from the Rising Sky Pavilion disciple, Liu Feihu. He could use it at this moment.
After consuming the Spiritual Heart Pill, and the Medicinal Energy spread out, Xiao Chen felt refreshed. His thoughts expanded infinitely, and he gained a new understanding of the perfect sixty-percent-comprehended saber intent.
Xiao Chen's comprehension ability was very high in the first place. Otherwise, he would not have been able to create the Four Season Saber Technique. With such a foundation, the effects of the Spiritual Heart Pill were much greater than that of a regular person.
The Spiritual Heart Pill only lasted for ten minutes. However, in these ten minutes, Xiao Chen gained a lot. His understanding of the perfect saber intent deepened. "Xiu! Xiu!
Xiu! "
Xiao Chen felt like he was suddenly enlightened. He swung his saber three times. Each saber strike perfectly merged saber intent and saber Qi; none of them leaked out.
After another three days, Xiao Chen consumed the remaining three Spiritual Heart Pills. As he swung his saber light, the sixty-percent-comprehended saber intent was perfectly contained in the saber Qi.
He could break it as he pleased. There was no need to prepare or think too much. With a casual swing, he perfectly merged the saber intent into the saber Qi.
Inside the courtyard, Xiao Chen practiced the Four Season Saber Technique. After perfectly controlling the sixty-percent-comprehended saber intent, he executed the Four Season Saber Technique again. With each saber strike, Xiao Chen actually gained a new comprehension.
The might of the Spring Thunder Chop, Burning to Desolation, Fated Person in Autumn Waters, and Grieving Frost all increased significantly, giving Xiao Chen a pleasant surprise.
After practicing Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, Xiao Chen felt refreshed. Then, he executed the final move of the Four Season Saber Technique, Cycle of Seasons, in one breath.
In that instant, the four seasons — Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter — appeared in the courtyard. All sorts of scenes — April's peach blossoms, July's flowing fire, October's autumn wind, and winter's snow — appeared, intertwining with each other.
Xiao Chen swung his saber. With the support of the perfect sixty-percent-comprehended saber intent, the energy of the Cycle of Seasons turned into a beam of rainbow light, flying towards the lake in front of the courtyard.
"Boom!"
A huge energy burst out, and a shocking pillar of water appeared on the lake. It was a hundred meters wide and three kilometers tall. With one glance, the water rippled, looking majestic and majestic.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and sheathed his saber. The energy supporting the pillar of water instantly vanished, and the huge wave fell cleanly.
Several of the inner sect disciples who also lived here felt that energy. They quickly leaped out of their courtyards and stopped to take a look.
The lake water surged endlessly. However, they could no longer feel the strong and powerless aura a moment ago. This was very strange.
"Strange, I wonder which Senior Brother was trying out a new Martial Technique earlier?"
The many inner sect disciples who leaped out all shook their heads gently. Then, they returned to their courtyards with suspicious expressions.
Xiao Chen muttered to himself, "The might of a perfect sixty-percent-comprehended saber intent is indeed extraordinary. No wonder Feng Xingsheng could defeat Ren Hua in one move back then."
If this tenth-ranked genius of the battle realm had not made any improvements, given Xiao Chen's current strength, he would have a seventy percent chance of defeating him.
"Xiao Chen, get out here!"
Just as Xiao Chen was thinking and preparing to go out, a shout suddenly came from the other side of the lake. Eighteen pillars of water immediately burst out of the calm lake; the sound was startling.
Xiao Chen looked into the distance and raised his eyebrows. He saw the person who had arrived. It was Gui Wu, who had rushed back from his mission.
Behind Gui Wu was a group of companions. All of them had terrifying auras and even released killing intent. On the road on the other side of the lake, the inner sect disciples from the residential area all ran over.
If Xiao Chen guessed right, Gui Wu had purposely spread the news. He wanted to defeat Xiao Chen in front of everyone and reestablish his prestige as a giant of the inner sect.
One week ago, Xiao Chen had injured all the subordinates Gui Wu sent to collect the Spirit Gathering Pearls. If Gui Wu could not get back at him, he would lose his status as a giant of the inner sect. In the future, no one would obey him.
"You're finally here? I've been waiting for you for a long time. "
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and pushed off with his feet. Then, he flew towards the center of the lake.
