Chapter 6

"Aiyaya, this rain is drenching this old man's body."

Just as Zhan Chen was still kneeling motionlessly in front of his mother's grave, a voice that did not fit the atmosphere rang out from behind him.

Zhan Chen was startled. Although he had already lost his cultivation base, he had not lost his perception as a martial artist. He did not expect that the other party would appear behind him and he would not be able to sense it at all. This person was definitely not simple.

Thinking of this, he turned around and saw a dirty old man with half black and half white hair standing behind him. He was dressed in tattered clothes and looked just like an old beggar. He held a wine gourd in his hand and kept pouring wine into his mouth. His eyes were half closed as if he would be drunk at any time.

Seeing Zhan Chen turn around, the old man swayed and poured another mouthful of wine into his mouth. He smiled and said, "Life should be enjoyed to the fullest. Don't let the golden goblet face the moon emptily. Little brother, why don't you take a sip and forget about this troublesome matter?"

In the past, Zhan Chen would never pay attention to this kind of drunkard. But today, he did not know why, but he especially wanted to find someone to talk to. He sighed and said, "Old sir, how can I be drunk? I have too much unwillingness in my heart. I want to practice martial arts, I want to take revenge! "

When it came to practicing martial arts and taking revenge, his lonely eyes became radiant. He was like an eagle that had broken its wings but was still yearning for the heavens.

"Young man, you are too focused. You should let go of what you should let go. Only in this way can you go further." As the old drunkard spoke, he stretched out his dirty hand and heavily patted Zhan Chen's shoulder. Zhan Chen subconsciously wanted to dodge but found that it was futile.

"Pa!" Zhan Chen's shoulder was heavily hit and a fishy smell rose from his chest. He could not help but spit out a large mouthful of black blood.

However, after spitting out this mouthful of black blood, he felt a lot more relaxed. It was as if there was a warm current wandering around his body and there was a raging flame in his dantian.

At this time, although it was raining heavily outside, his body did not feel cold at all. Instead, it was abnormally warm.

"Come, come, come. Drink some wine and get drunk." As the old man spoke, he inserted the wine gourd in his hand into Zhan Chen's mouth and poured a mouthful of wine down his throat.

Zhan Chen felt a burst of dizziness and fell unconscious on the ground. After an unknown amount of time, he faintly woke up. He realized that the rain had stopped and the sky had darkened. Looking around, the old man was nowhere to be seen.

He cried out in his heart, "Not good, what time is it now? Don't let father wait too long!"

Zhan Chen abruptly stood up, but he felt his body become light, as if his cultivation had returned. He hurriedly used his divine sense to probe his body, and couldn't help but be ecstatic. All the meridians in his body had been completely restored! The blood clot blocking his meridians had also disappeared. Only now did he realize that he had met with the help.

He immediately knelt down on the ground and solemnly bowed in the direction of the old drunkard. He loudly shouted, "Thank you, Senior, for your help. Your great kindness, Zhan Chen will never forget it!"

At this time, he heard a "pa" sound. Something was thrown out from his bosom. He quickly picked it up and almost jumped up from the ground. It turned out to be a cultivation technique!

The black cover was printed with three gold-plated characters "Burst Thunder Sword". This was something that Zhan Chen did not even dare to think about in the past. He had stayed in Black Plum Town Martial Arts School for so long, but he had never seen a secret cultivation technique. He had only heard of it.

He hastily opened the first page of the book and saw a line of description: "Burst Thunder Sword". Middle-grade Profound Level Sword Art.

"It turned out to be a Middle-grade Profound Level Cultivation Technique!" For a moment, he felt a little breathless. His hands were trembling with excitement.

In the Ten Thousand Laws Continent, cultivation techniques were generally divided into four ranks: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow. Each rank was further divided into four ranks: Low, Middle, High, and Best.

However, even the lowest Low Yellow Level Cultivation Technique was mainly in the hands of a few big families. Ordinary people could only study some martial arts to strengthen their bodies. Using such martial arts, they could at most reach the peak of the Martial Disciple realm. They would not be able to go one step further and reach the Martial Master realm.

In other words, in order to break through the Martial Master realm, one would need to study at least one Low Yellow Level Cultivation Technique. Therefore, if an ordinary family was lucky enough to obtain a Low Yellow Level Cultivation Technique, it would be regarded as a family heirloom. It would be an unspeakable secret that would be passed down from generation to generation.

This was because once one became a Martial Master, their status would be very different. They might even be recruited into a big family and come into contact with more profound martial arts.

Moreover, a Middle-grade Profound Level Cultivation Technique could only be created by someone who was at least a Revered Martial Artist.

As for a higher level Earth Level Cultivation Technique, it could only be found in some big sects. As for Heaven Level Cultivation Technique, it was even more illusory and untraceable.

Zhan Chen took a long time to calm down. He thought, "Now is not the time to study a cultivation technique. I will go home first. This matter needs to be considered at length."

Therefore, he hurriedly stuffed the cultivation technique back into his robes and hurried home. When he got home, his father saw that he had returned so late and couldn't help but ask a few questions. However, these questions were all brushed off by Zhan Chen's excuses.

After eating, he locked himself in his room tightly. Only then did he dare to take out the cultivation technique to look at it. It wasn't that Zhan Chen didn't trust his father. It was just that this cultivation technique was too shocking in a place like theirs. If he wasn't careful and leaked it out, he was afraid that it would bring about a fatal disaster.

Zhan Chen was very smart. He had a photographic memory since he was young. He quickly imprinted the entire cultivation technique into his heart.

As the name suggested, the Thunder Burst Sword was a thunder attribute cultivation technique. After mastering it, one could gather all the Qi in one's body and shoot out a lightning strike. It could kill someone within a hundred meters! This was a sure-kill attack. It was either you die or I die!

One had to at least reach the Martial Master realm to be able to unleash its true power. However, for Zhan Chen, who was only at the seventh layer of the Martial Disciple realm, it didn't seem very possible.

This was because in the Martial Disciple realm, one had to lay a solid foundation for the body and focus on increasing one's strength. At this time, there was very little Qi in one's body. It was basically unable to leave the body to attack. However, in the Martial Master realm, the main growth was the Qi in one's body. At this time, a powerful cultivation technique could truly display its ferocity.

However, since he had obtained such a domineering sword technique, was he going to not cultivate it because he couldn't unleash its power? This was clearly not Zhan Chen's style. He decided to immediately start cultivating the Thunder Burst Sword the next day.

The next morning, Zhan Chen left home early. He went to a secluded area in the back of the mountain to cultivate the Thunder Burst Sword. Before cultivating, he practiced a few sets of martial arts that he had learned in the dojo. He made an even more surprising discovery!

Originally, he thought that since his meridians had been destroyed, there would definitely be some sequelae left behind. However, the truth was the exact opposite. Not only did his meridians recover to their original state, but the Qi in them also flowed much more smoothly.

Originally, it was already very good for Zhan Chen to unleash the power of 70% of his potential in battle. However, he could now unleash 90% of his potential! Originally, his aptitude could only be considered above average. Now, he could be considered a genius!

"To change a martial artist's aptitude, what kind of profound cultivation would that require?!" The more Zhan Chen thought about it, the more he felt that the old man he had met yesterday was unfathomable. At the very least, he didn't know anyone who could do this.
