"Thank you for your help, Senior Brothers." Chen Zong clasped his hands and thanked them sincerely.
"We're all disciples of the Real Sword Academy. That's what we should do, "Shi Changqing said. He was shocked." Junior Brother, you've broken through and reached the middle stage of the Fourth Cycle of the Qi Refining Realm. Unbelievable. "
"Not only have you reached the middle stage of the Fourth Cycle of the Qi Refining Realm, but you're also the strongest among your peers."
The three of them were strong, but so were their opponents. When they saw Chen Zong kill the six Fourth Cycle of the Qi Refining Realm martial artists, they all retreated.
According to Shi Changqing's introduction, the martial artist with the vigorous sword strike was called Xiang Zhan, and the one with the sharp and vicious sword strike was called Huang Lisong.
"Junior Brother, do you plan to go alone or with us?" Shi Changqing asked.
Going with Shi Changqing and the other two might be safer, but it wasn't absolute.
"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brothers, but I'm not as strong as you. I'll only be a burden." Chen Zong said.
His cultivation had reached the middle stage of the Fourth Cycle of the Qi Refining Realm. His strength was good, but compared to Shi Changqing and the others, there was still a gap.
Shi Changqing and the others could go deeper into the Western Wilderness, but he couldn't.
Teaming up was based on the fact that their strength was similar. Otherwise, it would be like charity.
"If that's the case, Junior Brother, be careful." Shi Changqing didn't force him.
"Goodbye, Junior Brother." Xiang Zhan and Huang Lisong said. The three of them left together while Chen Zong went in another direction.
It was the fifteenth day since Chen Zong entered the Western Wilderness.
More than a hundred monsters had died under his sword. The weakest was a Lower Level 3 monster, and the strongest was a Lower Level 4 monster.
In just half a month, he had killed more than ten thousand monsters. This was a huge number. Moreover, there was still half a month left.
Of course, at the same time that the Demonic Beasts were killed in large numbers, many warriors were killed as well. Some died under the claws of the Demonic Beasts, some died at the hands of other warriors, and some died at the hands of the Black Demon Sect warriors.
Only after repeated tempering can one see true talent.
Although the Western Wasteland looked like a barren land, there were many treasures in it. Some cultivators obtained these treasures by chance, and these treasures would help their cultivation and strength improve significantly.
For example, the small breakthrough fruit that Chen Zong had obtained.
"My cultivation has finally reached rank four peak stage." Bai Yuxiao smiled. His face was cold and murderous. "Chen Zong, if I ever see you again, you'll definitely die."
Bai Yuxiao's current goal was to kill Chen Zong.
Perhaps it was God's arrangement, Chen Zong met Bai Yuxiao again.
"Chen Zong, it seems that God wants you dead." Bai Yuxiao let out a long laugh. His voice was full of murderous intent. He directly used his body movement to quickly close in on Chen Zong and drew his sword.
The sword seemed to pierce through the clouds. Not only was it fast, but it was also extremely sharp and unstoppable.
The tyrannical Extreme Purple Sword Force emerged and covered the long sword with a purple luster. As the sword rubbed against the air, it seemed to emit a faint fiery red color due to the high temperature. When it met with the purple color, it was like a meteor falling from the sky.
Momentum Technique? A Sword Soaring to the Heavens!
The moment Bai Yuxiao attacked, he used his fastest and strongest sword. He wanted to kill Chen Zong directly, leaving no chance for him.
Bai Yuxiao's cultivation had reached rank four peak stage of the Training Realm, and his strength had increased significantly.
The terrifying murderous intent and sharpness pierced through the air and attacked first. The sword pressure almost suffocated Chen Zong and made him feel as if his body was going to be pierced through.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Zong was not afraid at all.
If he had not broken through his cultivation, he might not have been able to withstand this sword. But now …
His inner strength surged, and the Thunderous Sword Force rushed out at an alarming speed and into the long sword in his hand.
Once one reached the fourth cycle of the Qi Training realm, one would be able to manifest their inner strength without any special means. The only difference was that some people were able to do it faster, some were more difficult, some were able to manifest most of their inner strength in an instant, and some required repeated practice.
Chen Zong belonged to the category of people who were fast and efficient.
The Thunderous Sword Force emerged and covered the long sword, as if it had turned into arcs of electricity.
Flashing Thunder Slayer!
The sword turned into a bolt of lightning and tore through the sky. Its domineering, violent, and sharp power had reached its peak and could destroy everything.
"Middle rank four in the Training Realm!" Bai Yuxiao was shocked.
In such a short period of time, due to some fortuitous encounters, his cultivation rose from the late rank four to the peak rank four of the Training Realm. Chen Zong's cultivation rose from the late rank three to the middle rank four of the Training Realm. This speed was too terrifying.
One had to know that there was a huge gap between rank three and rank four. For geniuses, the breakthrough was not difficult, but it still required time. Chen Zong had broken through from the late rank three to the middle rank four of the Training Realm in such a short period of time. Moreover, his inner strength did not feel weak at all. This was too incredible.
The moment this thought came to his mind, the two swords had already collided.
Flashing Thunder Slayer!
Charging Force Technique? Soaring Sword!
Under the lightning, the purplish red sword light was destroyed. It was like a hot knife through butter, and nothing could stop it.
The Soaring Sword's momentum was also destroyed in an instant.
In terms of inner strength purity, Bai Yuxiao was not as good as Chen Zong.
Like a hot knife through butter, the sword pierced through and went straight for Bai Yuxiao.
This sword was too fast, too fierce, and too powerful. It was fast, accurate, steady, and ruthless. There was no way to dodge or block it.
Bai Yuxiao did not even have the time to make a final sound before his throat was pierced through and out of his neck.
His eyes widened and his mouth opened, but no sound came out. Bai Yuxiao's five fingers loosened, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground. His unnaturally curled fingers trembled as he pointed at Chen Zong. In the end, he was unwilling to give up and exhausted his last breath.
Chen Zong saw Bai Yuxiao fall to the ground and heaved a heartfelt sigh of relief.
Ever since Chen Zong knew that Bai Yuxiao was a member of the Bai Family, there had been a thorn in his heart. However, Bai Yuxiao did not intend to attack him at that time, and Chen Zong would not take the initiative to look for him. Since Bai Yuxiao disguised himself as a man in black to kill him, this grudge was destined.
Once, twice, thrice.
Nothing could be done more than thrice.
Finally, the grudge was over.
Suddenly, Chen Zong turned his head and looked to his right. A few hundred meters away, someone was looking at him. Chen Zong's heart sank.
He did not regret killing Bai Yuxiao. On the contrary, he was very clear about it. However, the problem was that he and Bai Yuxiao were both disciples of the Real Sword Academy. If word got out, it would not be a good thing for him.
The person who was a few hundred meters away reacted quickly. He immediately retreated as if he was afraid of being killed. His speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he was far away. That kind of speed was close to the Fifth Transformation of the Jin Training Realm. Even if Chen Zong wanted to chase after him, it would be difficult for him to do so.
"Now that things have come to this, I can only improvise." Exhaling, Chen Zong found more than twenty monster cores from Bai Yuxiao's bag. Most of them were level three, and there were two level four cores. They were very valuable. In addition, there were some Strength Recovery Pills and so on.
"This is …"
He also found a secret manual from Bai Yuxiao's hidden pocket. The words "Impulsive Force Technique" were written on it.
It was a secret technique of the Jin Training Realm. It was a forbidden technique like the Burning Blood Technique of the Qi and Blood Realm. However, the side effects were not as severe. At most, it would consume a lot of Inner Strength.
The minimum requirement to practice a secret technique of the Jin Training Realm was to reach the Fourth Transformation of the Jin Training Realm.
"With the Impulsive Force Technique, my strength can be further enhanced." Chen Zong was secretly delighted.
A secret technique like the Impulsive Force Technique was not very precious. He could practice it whenever he wanted when he returned to the Real Sword Academy. However, since he was in the Western Wilderness, it would be better if he could learn it as soon as possible.
After taking a Strength Recovery Pill to recover his Inner Strength, Chen Zong opened the secret manual of the Impulsive Force Technique and read it carefully.
"Compress your Inner Strength. When it is compressed to the limit, it will rebound and explode in an instant. Guide it and turn it into a force of impact …"
Chen Zong's extraordinary comprehension ability allowed him to understand the secret of the technique faster. Moreover, the Impulsive Force Technique itself was not very profound. Any normal martial artist could learn it. The difference was whether they could learn it in a short period of time or in a long period of time.
This was because the principle of the Impulsive Force Technique was to use one's willpower to control a part of the Inner Strength and compress it like a spring. Then, it would rebound and turn the rebound force into a force of impact.
It was easier said than done. To control a part of the Inner Strength and compress it required a solid cultivation base and a high degree of control over one's Inner Strength. Otherwise, one would need to practice again and again.
For example, Bai Yuxiao spent ten days to master the Impulsive Force Technique.
After his Inner Strength was fully recovered, Chen Zong tried the Impulsive Force Technique. The first attempt was very difficult. Part of the Inner Strength in his body had just gathered and was about to be compressed, but it collapsed on its own.
Chen Zong was not discouraged. He tried again. This time, the Inner Strength had begun to be compressed, but it collapsed on its own because it was not stable enough.
He tried for the third time. This time, combined with the previous two failures, Chen Zong finally succeeded in compressing part of the Inner Strength and completed the first step of the Impulsive Force Technique. However, he felt that it was a little difficult. He dispersed the Inner Strength and tried again.
It was not until the tenth time that Chen Zong was able to compress part of the Inner Strength skillfully. The process took one second. Then, he tried to turn the compressed Inner Strength into a force of impact.
He tried again and again.
"The Impulsive Force Technique!"
He stabbed out with his sword. The compressed Inner Strength exploded into a force of impact, which increased the speed of the sword by 30%.
"Not bad. The sword speed has increased significantly, and the power has also increased. However, it takes two seconds. It's too long," Chen Zong said to himself, pointing out the advantages and disadvantages.
For a martial artist in the Force Refining Realm, one second was enough for several attacks. Two seconds was too long.
Chen Zong was dissatisfied and continued to practice.
He had to practice the Impulsive Force Technique to the point where he could use it with his thoughts. Only then would it be effective in a life-and-death battle.
It took Bai Yuxiao more than a month to reach that point.
Again and again, he tried while moving forward. When he saw a monster, he would kill it with his sword. Over and over again, he would stop to recover when his Inner Strength was almost exhausted.
On the third day.
"Impulsive Force Technique!"
