(The protagonist has entered the Clan Hall and is about to show off his skills. Are your swords ready?)
"Chen Wu, Chen Zuifeng, Chen Yan, Chen Che, Chen Shuiqing, Chen Shaoze, Chen Zong."
"Here," the seven of them replied in unison.
"I'm Chen Chu Yun." She wore a tight white martial attire that perfectly accentuated her graceful figure. Her black hair was tied into a ponytail at the back of her head. She looked valiant and valiant. Her face was fair and rosy. Her voice was cold, and her eyes were clear and bright like autumn water. "From today onwards, I will be your sword instructor."
Chen Zong looked at the beautiful girl in front of him. He estimated that she was about seventeen or eighteen years old, but her aura was obscure and powerful. He wondered how much more powerful she was compared to them.
This was the Clan Hall of the Chen Clan.
Including the branch family and the main family, there were a total of sixty Martial Disciples. They were divided into five groups according to the type of Foundation Establishment Martial Techniques they practiced.
Chen Zong's Tiger Strength Fist Technique had reached perfection. He should have been assigned to the fist technique group, but he strongly requested to be assigned to the sword technique group.
Including him, there were seven people in the sword technique group. There were five males and two females. Two of them were from the branch family, and the rest were from the main family.
"Now, I will teach you the Tiger Roar Technique." Chen Chu Yun did not even bother with pleasantries and went straight to the point.
"The Tiger Roar Technique is our Chen Clan's secret technique for refining blood Qi. It cannot be taught to outsiders."
"The Tiger Roar Technique is divided into movement and stillness …" Chen Chu Yun used simple and straightforward words and actions to teach the Tiger Roar Technique to everyone, repeating it three times.
"Chen Zong, your cultivation has not reached the peak of the third level of the Qi and Blood Realm, so you cannot practice the Tiger Roar Technique." Chen Chu Yun's gaze fell on Chen Zong.
"Yes." Chen Zong nodded.
Chen Zuifeng's eyes flashed with pride. A few months ago, he had already started practicing the Tiger Roar Technique.
The cultivation of Martial Disciples was divided into two parts. First, they would practice Foundation Establishment Martial Techniques to the peak of the third level of the Qi and Blood Realm. Then, they would refine their blood Qi in preparation for breaking through to the fourth level of the Qi and Blood Realm.
If they practiced the Tiger Roar Technique before reaching the peak of the third level of the Blood Realm, they would only harm their blood Qi.
"I'll continue to explain the Tiger Roar Technique. If there's anything you don't understand, ask me later."
Clearly, the content of this lesson was the Tiger Roar Incantation.
Two hours later, the class ended. Chen Chu Yun answered a few questions and left. The next class was in ten days.
The five disciples ignored Chen Zong and Chen Yan and left. Chen Yan and Chen Zong nodded and left as well.
The clan hall was divided into an inner and outer section, separated by a door.
The outer hall was not big. There was a living area, a cafeteria, a martial arts room, a weapons room, and so on. New disciples like them had to raise their cultivation to the fourth stage of the Qi and Blood realm within a year to become martial artists. Otherwise, they would be expelled.
"I need to raise my cultivation base to the peak of Qi and Blood realm level three before cultivating the Tiger Roar Formula to temper my Blood Qi."
Chen Zong's biggest wish was to find a precious medicine for his father to heal his injuries and restore his cultivation. However, that required sufficient strength. Therefore, Chen Zong's short-term goal for himself was to increase his cultivation and enter the clan hall. Now that he had achieved that, he should set a second short-term goal for himself.
"The two Energy Pills from the branch family and the three Energy Pills from the clan hall can increase my cultivation base slightly, but it's not enough to reach the peak of Qi and Blood realm level three.
"Maybe I can practice more Foundation Establishment martial arts," Ye Futian said to himself.
Every breakthrough in Foundation Establishment martial arts would stimulate one's potential to a certain extent and strengthen one's Blood Qi. This would then feed back to the body and achieve a synchronized improvement.
However, it was not easy to break through Foundation Establishment martial arts.
Normal people would take three months to reach the entry level, one year to achieve small success, and three years to achieve phenomenal success. The more powerful ones would take at least two years to achieve phenomenal success. Even if they were to achieve phenomenal success in a year, it would still be unrealistic to use it as the main method to increase their cultivation base.
Chen Zong was different. He had been transformed by the mysterious sword tip and received help from the mysterious sword tip when cultivating Foundation Establishment martial arts. He could achieve phenomenal success in a shorter time. This was an advantage that he had to make use of.
The Outer Hall martial arts room was several times larger than the Little Lake Town branch family's room. There was a table by the door and a middle-aged man sitting behind it. He was the manager of the martial arts room.
There were bookshelves on three sides of the room. Each bookshelf contained more than a hundred books that were clearly categorized. The bookshelf on the left was filled with Foundation Establishment martial arts and related cultivation experiences.
There were six wooden tables and some wooden chairs neatly placed in the middle of the room for the ordinary disciples of the Outer Hall to read. The books in the martial arts room could not be taken away.
Chen Zong scanned the room. The three Foundation Establishment martial arts of the Little Lake Town branch family were among them. Other than that, there were other Foundation Establishment martial arts that he had never heard of before.
"Snake Hand"
"Python Leg Technique"
"Heavy Fist"
"Stele Shattering Palm"
"Chain Saber Technique"
"Heavy Strike Saber Technique"
"Afterimage Sword Technique"
"Willow Sword Technique"
"Eagle Strike Sword Technique"
Wait.
At a glance, there were at least three books of cultivation experiences for each Foundation Establishment martial art. Some had more than ten books.
"There are thirty-two Foundation Establishment martial arts in total. That's a lot." This was a huge shock to Chen Zong. He also found that among the thirty-two Foundation Establishment martial arts, there were only five weapon-type Foundation Establishment martial arts. Three were sword techniques and two were saber techniques. It was obvious that weapon-type Foundation Establishment martial arts were rare and precious. They were also notoriously difficult to cultivate.
He took out three sword techniques and related cultivation experiences, walked to a wooden table, sat down, and started reading.
Afterimage Sword Technique was a sword technique that required great skill. It was weak in attack and defense, but it could create afterimages to interfere with one's vision. There were six moves in total. If one could master it, sixty percent of one's body could be trained.
The tip of the sword between his eyebrows trembled slightly, and a silver dragon danced. Chen Zong's mind was very clear. Not only did he memorize all the contents of Afterimage Sword Technique, but he also quickly understood and mastered it.
After reading 《Afterimage Sword Art》, he picked up 《Simple Analysis of Afterimage Sword Art》, 《I Practice Afterimage Sword Art》, 《Afterimage Sword Art Conjecture》, and other cultivation notes. He read through them one by one, absorbing the wisdom of the predecessors and gathering their wisdom to deepen his understanding of Afterimage Sword Art.
Willow Sword Technique was a sword technique that required the sword to be like willow branches. It was flexible and tough, like a willow swinging in the wind. It had six moves in total. If one could master it, sixty percent of one's body could be trained.
After reading everything about Willow Sword Technique, he went on to read Eagle Strike Sword Technique.
Eagle Strike Sword Technique was completely different from Willow Sword Technique. It mainly used the tip of the sword as the point of attack, imitating the sharp beak, claws and wings of an eagle. It was an offensive sword technique. If one could master it, sixty percent of one's body could be trained.
After reading Eagle Strike Sword Technique, Chen Zong read a few other cultivation experiences. After memorizing all of them, he put the books back on the shelf.
"Young man, is it useful for you to read like this?" The manager asked casually.
"Yes." Chen Zong replied and walked out of the martial arts room. The manager shook his head and took it as a joke.
He found a secluded place in the martial arts field and pulled out his sword. After thinking for a while, he made the starting gesture of Shadow Sword Technique and stabbed out.
Soon, he practiced it once.
"I'm not very good at it, but it's only the first time."
The second time, there was obvious improvement.
The third time, he was even more proficient.
Chen Zong could feel his improvement with each practice. On the tenth practice, Chen Zong felt his Qi and blood vibrate slightly, and it grew a little bit stronger.
After consolidating his strength, Chen Zong made the starting gesture of Willow Sword Technique, standing tall like a weeping willow by the water.
After ten practice, he learned Willow Sword Technique, and his Qi and blood grew a little bit stronger.
Then, Chen Zong practiced Eagle Strike Sword Technique.
He was like an eagle that was about to spread its wings and soar. His sword was like the wings of an eagle that was about to spread its wings and soar.
After ten more practice, he learned Eagle Strike Sword Technique, and his Qi and blood grew a little bit stronger.
After three consecutive rounds of Qi and blood growth, Chen Zong's body would be nourished and his strength would increase.
"This guy is too stupid."
"Practicing three Foundation Building Sword Techniques. He's cutting off his own path."
"I know him. His name is Chen Zong. He used to practice fist techniques. It's said that he reached the Perfection Realm and was favored by Instructor Chen He. However, he refused to join the fist technique group and joined the sword technique group."
"So it's him. Then he must be practicing four Foundation Building Martial Arts."
"He's so stupid."
Not far away, a few people were whispering. They didn't practice sword techniques and their eyesight was limited. They couldn't tell that Chen Zong had learned all three Foundation Building Sword Techniques. Chen Zong heard their conversation clearly. Of course, he knew what they were thinking.
Under normal circumstances, the more Foundation Building Martial Arts one practiced, the more obvious the drawbacks would be. This was because practicing each Foundation Building Martial Arts required a lot of time and energy, and each person's time and energy were limited. The more Foundation Building Martial Arts one practiced, the more scattered they would be. In the end, they would drag each other down and it would be difficult to improve.
Usually, one would practice at most two Foundation Building Martial Arts. One would be practiced before entering the clan hall, and the other would be practiced after entering the clan hall.
After entering the clan hall, everyone knew that Martial Disciple cultivation was divided into two levels. One was before the peak of Qi and Blood Realm Stage Level Three, where the focus was on Foundation Building Martial Arts. The other was after the peak of Qi and Blood Realm Stage Level Three, where the focus was on Qi and blood refinement.
Cultivation was the foundation. Once one's cultivation reached Qi and Blood Realm Stage Level Four and became a martial artist, one could practice Foundation Building Martial Arts. Its power was many times stronger than Foundation Building Martial Arts.
They felt that Chen Zong was putting the cart before the horse.
When this matter reached Chen He's ears, he sneered, "Do you think that by practicing Tiger Strength Fist Technique to the Perfection Realm, you can also practice Sword Technique to the Perfection Realm?"
"Chen Zong, you're wasting your time." Chen Yuyao went to Chen Zong in exasperation. "You've practiced Tiger Strength Fist Technique to the Perfection Realm, which proves that you have extraordinary talent in Fist Techniques. Why do you want to practice Sword Techniques? Fine, you can practice Sword Techniques, but why do you have to practice three Sword Techniques at the same time?"
"I know what I'm doing." Chen Zong knew that Chen Yuyao was concerned about him, but he couldn't say that he had a fortuitous encounter that gave him an advantage in Sword Techniques.
"You … How can you face your official uncle, who has such high hopes for you?" Chen Yuyao was furious. She didn't know why she was so anxious and angry.
"I know what I'm doing," Chen Zong said again, his tone calm. Chen Yuyao stomped away angrily in her deerskin shoes.
Shaking his head and looking away, Chen Zong continued to practice Sword Techniques.
All three Sword Techniques had reached the Entry Level, which strengthened his Blood Qi and improved his cultivation. It proved that his idea was feasible, so he had to continue.
The next night, Chen Zong continued to practice Sword Techniques. A figure walked briskly from afar. His footsteps were very light. He stood dozens of meters away and watched without disturbing Chen Zong.
After practicing each of the three Sword Techniques ten times, Chen Zong caught a glimpse of the figure and bowed. "Instructor."
"Well, I heard that you're practicing three Foundation Sword Techniques at the same time, so I came to check it out." Chen Chuyun's voice was as cold as the night wind. "Did you learn all three Sword Techniques yesterday morning?"
"Yes." Chen Zong nodded. It was no secret.
"In only two days, you've reached the Entry Level in three Sword Techniques." Chen Chuyun's eyes were blazing, as if they could melt the night. "So, you're a genius in Sword Techniques."
"Instructor, you flatter me," Chen Zong said modestly.
"Don't be so modest. Can you practice all three Sword Techniques to the Basic Level in ten days?" Chen Chuyun's eyes were clear.
