(Third Update)
Fifth floor of the Scripture Tower.
"Long Flow Sword Style. After mastering it, the sword will be like a surging river …"
"Iron Breaking Finger. After mastering it, the fingers will be hard. Under the stimulation of Qi and blood, the fingers will be able to shatter steel …"
"Great Iron Breaking Hand …"
"Heavy Mountain Fist …"
"Wild Gale Chop …"
"Deadly Chain Claw …"
"Gale Kick …"
"Raging Waves Spear …"
Chen Zong realized that there were not many Ultimate Mortal Rank martial arts recorded on the fifth floor. There were only one fist, leg, finger, claw, sword, and spear. There were no extra choices. Moreover, if one did not cultivate these eight martial arts, they would not be able to find a suitable Ultimate Mortal Rank martial art to cultivate.
For example, a martial artist like Yi Qianren who cultivated dual truncheons.
There were only three cultivation arts.
There were two movement arts.
There were also two footwork arts.
This did not surprise Chen Zong. After all, there were relatively few Ultimate Mortal Rank martial arts. For example, none of the families in the entire Wind Martial City had a single Ultimate Mortal Rank martial art or art. But the Seven Lights Martial Academy had more than a dozen of them, which was already very good.
"The Lone Star Shining World is equivalent to the top rank Mortal Realm, which is only half a step away from the Tittle Realm. I have confidence that I can make a breakthrough within a month. But, the Truth Realm is way too hard. I can choose the Long Flow Sword Art."
"Other than sword style, maybe cultivating a hand martial art is also a good choice."
Chen Zong could not help but recall the battle with Bai Qiuming. Other than Long Flow Sword Style, Bai Qiuming had also cultivated Iron Breaking Finger. When used, its power was undoubtedly very strong.
Chen Zong was a little tempted by Iron Breaking Finger. But after looking at Great Iron Breaking Hand, it was a palm martial art. It was the kind of palm martial art that was fierce and tough. But it was not limited to the front of the palm, it could also be used to attack the back of the hand. It was more flexible than normal palm martial arts, just like a sanshou.
In the description, Great Iron Breaking Hand was also very powerful. One palm strike could break steel and iron. Its power was very terrifying. Chen Zong was also tempted.
Great Iron Breaking Hand and Iron Breaking Finger were both hand martial arts. Time and energy were limited. Cultivating one was enough.
In the end, Chen Zong decided to cultivate the Iron Hand.
Then, he looked at the Wild Wind Leg Art. Once his legs were kicked out, they would roll up a wild wind and roar. It was different from the reserved power of the Great Iron Shattering Hand. Not only was the momentum astonishing, but the power was also extraordinary.
Chen Zong imagined himself mastering the sword art, the palm art, and the leg art. He should be very flexible in battle. However, it was more difficult to cultivate the Superior Class of the Human Rank. He had already chosen a sword art and a palm art, and now he chose a leg art. Undoubtedly, it would be a serious waste of time and energy.
Walking down from the fifth floor to the first floor, Chen Zong looked for some books that he had not seen before.
"What is this?" At a glance, Chen Zong saw a book in the corner of the highest floor. It looked very old, but the pages were very straight. It seemed like it had not been opened for a long time.
"Qi and Blood Realm Level Ten …" Chen Zong could not help but be shocked.
"That's fake," the deacon in charge of the Martial Arts Depository reminded him with a smile when he saw the book Chen Zong was holding.
"It's okay, I'm just looking around," Chen Zong replied with a smile, but he was very curious.
For a long time, the first major realm for a martial artist was the Qi and Blood Realm. There were nine levels in total, and the peak of the ninth level was the limit. After that, one would have to break through to the Strength Refining Realm.
It was the first time he had heard of the Qi and Blood Realm Level Ten. No, it should be said that he had seen it before.
Opening the book, Chen Zong read it carefully. He did not know who wrote this book, but the description was very detailed.
The Qi and Blood Realm Level Ten was also known as the Great Perfection of Blood or the Pure Yang Qi and Blood. As the name implied, it was to refine and purify one's Qi and Blood over and over again until it was as pure and heavy as mercury. Every drop of Qi and Blood contained vigorous power, and it was extremely Yang without any impurities.
When one reached the Great Perfection of Blood and Blood, one would be able to cultivate a Leakless Body. In other words, one would be able to lock all the natural exhaustion of one's body and automatically form an internal cycle without any leakage. This meant that one's body could be maintained at its peak state. Moreover, one's Qi and Blood were extremely Yang and could resist evil.
After reading it, Chen Zong was very shocked and moved.
Although the deacon said that it was fake, it still left a deep impression in Chen Zong's heart.
Unfortunately, there was only a description in the book. There was no cultivation method for Great Perfection of Blood and Blood. It was no wonder that it was fake.
Putting the book back, Chen Zong took the handwritten copies of the Long Stream Sword Technique and the Iron Shattering Hand and left the Martial Arts Depository.
After cultivating as usual, he began to read the Long Stream Sword Technique and carefully studied it.
The Long Stream Sword Technique was not divided into the first, second, or third level. Instead, it had two moves. The first move was called Long Stream Rush, and the second move was called Long Stream Endless.
Long Stream Endless was the enhanced version of Long Stream Rush. It was more powerful. The two moves were also in a progressive relationship and could be used together.
After all, the Long Stream Sword Technique was a Superior Grade Mortal Rank sword technique. It was even more difficult to cultivate than the Lone Star Sword Technique. However, Chen Zong was no longer the same as before. He had improved in all aspects, so he gradually mastered it.
On the eighth day, under the guidance of Chen Zong's Qi and blood, he unleashed his Qi and blood with a unique technique and route. With a swing of his sword, the sword light rushed forward like a rushing river, directly hitting the fine iron pile. Wherever the sword light passed, the fine iron pile was immediately cut in half. That half of the sword mark was as big as the mouth of a bowl, and its power was amazing.
"Not bad. I've mastered the Long Stream Rush." Chen Zong nodded to himself.
He had mastered a Superior Grade Mortal Rank sword technique to the Beginner Level in eight days. If others knew about it, they would be shocked.
The Long Stream Sword Technique was different from the Diffraction Sword Technique. The second move was based on the first move. However, as long as the first move reached the Beginner Level, he could continue to cultivate it.
On the tenth day, after Chen Zong used the Rushing Stream, the sword light paused for a moment, and then the second sword strike was unleashed. This sword strike was faster and more urgent, and it even had a feeling that it was endless.
Endless Stream Rush!
"Not good enough." Looking at the dense and scattered cuts on the fine iron pile, Chen Zong frowned slightly. This move could only be regarded as half of the beginner level. It would take a few more days for him to reach the Beginner Level.
At this time, someone came to Chen Zong. It was someone from the Elixir Building. Gao Jincai, the pharmacist, asked him to inform Chen Zong to go there.
"Could it be that the Tiger Leopard Tendon Strengthening Pill has been successfully refined?" Chen Zong guessed secretly.
Sure enough, after Gao Jincai got the detailed refining steps, he finally refined the first batch after a few days of experiments. There were three pills in total. According to the agreement, Chen Zong could get two pills in each batch, regardless of whether he succeeded or failed.
He took two Tiger Leopard Tendon Strengthening Pills back to the building and began to practice the fourth to sixth moves of the Body Forging Art. Chen Zong had already mastered the nine moves of the Body Forging Art. After taking the Tiger Leopard Tendon Strengthening Pill, he felt that his tendons and veins were constantly being pulled and bounced. There was an indescribable strange feeling. It was painful and numb at the same time.
Two pills in two days. Chen Zong waved his sword and carefully felt his tendons and veins. They seemed to have become more flexible and powerful. However, the effect was not obvious because he had not practiced for long.
"Two moves of the Long Stream Sword Technique have reached the Beginner Level. Let's practice the Iron Shattering Hand."
The Iron Shattering Hand was only one move, but it could be performed with the palm, the back of the palm, or the edge of the palm. It was quite flexible.
Another eight days passed. Chen Zong activated his Qi and blood. In an instant, his left palm was filled with blood and turned red. He slammed his palm heavily on the refined iron pillar.
With a bang, the refined iron pillar shook violently and was dented by more than three inches. However, Chen Zong also felt his left palm go numb and painful.
If this palm hit a person's body, his left hand would not feel pain. After all, the body of flesh and blood could not be compared to precious iron. The effect of strength was also mutual.
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty days had passed since Chen Zong entered Tianyao Hall. After ranking fourth, he took a Blood Essence Pill every day. With the help of the Blood Agglomerating Jade Essence, his cultivation improved rapidly. He had reached the mid-stage of the ninth level of the Qi and Blood realm and was approaching the late-stage. At this speed, he would definitely reach the peak of the ninth level of the Qi and Blood realm within two months.
One had to know that Chen Zong's Qi and blood were much purer than ordinary Qi and Blood realm cultivators. While there were many benefits, it also meant that it was more difficult to improve his cultivation.
Ever since the first batch of Tiger Leopard Tendon Strengthening Pills was successfully refined, Gao Jincai would successfully refine a batch every three days. Because of the detailed refining steps, the initial success rate was eighty percent. It kept increasing until it reached a hundred percent success rate. Chen Zong also continuously received Tiger Leopard Tendon Strengthening Pills and took one a day. As time passed, Chen Zong could feel that his tendons and veins were constantly being tempered and strengthened. Even his muscles were being strengthened.
It was the thirtieth day since he entered Tianyao Hall, which was exactly one month old.
He performed the Long Stream Sword Technique, performing the Long Stream Rushing and Long Stream Endless. The sword light surged forward like a torrent and became continuous. In an instant, it was as if it had broken through some kind of restraint. It became faster, faster, and stronger. It directly broke a refined iron pillar that was as thick as a thigh. Countless sword marks crisscrossed at the fracture.
Minor Accomplishment!
To be able to break a refined iron pillar that was as thick as a thigh so easily, the Long Stream Sword Technique itself was powerful. Secondly, it was the sharpness of the Fake Frost Sword. After all, it was a top-notch precious iron sword. Even a precious iron block would be left with sword marks, let alone a refined iron pillar that was obviously not as tough and tough as precious iron blocks.
On the fortieth day, Chen Zong's left hand quickly struck the refined iron pillar. His palm was red and his strength was restrained. With a bang, the refined iron pillar immediately bent and sank in a few inches. The Great Iron Shattering Hand had also reached the Minor Accomplishment realm.
The effect of striking empty-handed and using a sword were completely different.
Logically speaking, Chen Zong should have felt pain and numbness in his palm at this time. However, there was no pain, only numbness. It seemed that the effects of consuming the Tiger Leopard Tendon Strengthening Pills to cultivate the second layer of the Body Forging Technique were very significant. His tendons and veins had been tempered and strengthened, and even his skin and muscles had been strengthened.
On the fiftieth day, Chen Zong's cultivation had reached the late stage of the ninth level of the Qi and Blood Realm. His Qi and Blood Force had become even purer.
On the seventieth day, he performed the two moves of the Long Stream Sword Technique and easily destroyed the refined iron pillar. The continuous sword light pierced through the air and left dense sword marks on the second refined iron pillar that was a few meters away. The sword marks crisscrossed and penetrated more than three inches into the iron.
Great Accomplishment realm!
On the eightieth day, Chen Zong struck again with his left hand. With a bang, the refined iron pillar was violently shaken and bent. It was even uprooted and flew backward.
