(I need to practice a more powerful sword art!)
The clan hall was divided into two courtyards.
The Heaven courtyard and the Earth courtyard.
The Heaven courtyard belonged to the main clan, while the Earth courtyard belonged to the branch clan. They were clearly separated and competed with each other.
Chen Zong came from the branch clan in Little Lake Town, so he naturally belonged to the Earth courtyard.
According to Chen Zong's understanding, there were more than two hundred martial artists in the clan hall. Sixty percent of them were from the Heaven courtyard and the other forty percent were from the Earth courtyard. Outside the Heaven and Earth courtyard was the elite area. There were a total of ten independent courtyards, which was where Chen Zong had been before. It was one of Chen Chu Yun's former residences.
Only the top ten martial artists in the clan hall were qualified to stay in the elite area and enjoy better treatment.
The Earth Courtyard was a huge courtyard with rows upon rows of houses. Each house had one person living in it. Compared to the houses that Martial Disciples lived in, it was twice as big. The decorations were also better. The windows were bright and clean, and it looked very comfortable.
Outside the houses was the martial arts field. It was very big, and there were also four arenas in four different directions.
According to the distribution, excluding the Martial Disciple's outer courtyard, the entire clan hall was made up of the Heaven and Earth courtyard, the elite area, and the main area.
There were three floors in the main area's Martial Arts Tower.
Chen Zong was standing on the first floor. In front of him was a bookshelf with many books. Chen Zong's eyes quickly scanned through the books, and he picked one out.
The cover of the book was grey and white, and there was a drawing of a blood red tiger. The lines looked simple, but the drawing made the blood red tiger look very lifelike, as if it was going to pounce on him.
Beside the blood red tiger, there were three bold and powerful words written in blood red — Fierce Tiger Art!
It was said that the ancestor of the Chen family worshipped the fearless spirit of the tiger and the imposing manner of the king of beasts. When he founded the Chen family, he also passed down this spirit of the tiger. From the Tiger Roar Technique to the Fierce Tiger Technique that cultivated the power of blood and Qi, as well as the subsequent Tiger Techniques, they were all proof of this.
The Tiger Fist Art was a foundation building martial art. The Tiger Roar Technique was a foundation building martial art.
The Fierce Tiger Art was a graded martial art.
After becoming a martial artist, Chen Zong learned more from the clan hall. He knew that the so-called rudimentary martial arts were also called human-level martial arts. They were divided into low-level, middle-level, high-level, and supreme-level.
The Fierce Tiger Skill of the Chen Zong's family was a cultivation method of the middle class of the Human Realm. It was divided into three levels. The book in Chen Zong's hand recorded the first level of the Fierce Tiger Skill.
"A tiger has a form … must have the momentum of a tiger, the strength of a tiger … Qi and blood like a tiger, the body like a mountain forest …"
Flipping open the Fierce Tiger Skill, there were the cultivation method chants, annotations, as well as things to take note of when cultivating and so on.
Chen Zong completely memorized the content after reading it once. After reading it three times, he directly understood it.
Only now did he realize that with the Perfect Realm of the Tiger Strength Fist Technique as a foundation, regardless of whether it was comprehending the Tiger Roar Technique or cultivating the Fierce Tiger Technique, there was a certain advantage.
After memorizing the first stage of the Fierce Tiger Skill, Chen Zong put it back and took out the second book.
This was a book with a dark red cover. There were only two large black words on it — Martial Artist!
The silver hook and iron painting were unstoppable!
After opening it, Chen Zong began to read it carefully. This book was neither a cultivation method nor a martial art. It was about some general knowledge about martial arts cultivation.
"The first to third levels of the Blood Qi realm strengthen the Blood Qi, strengthen the body, and refine the Blood Qi to lay the foundation for becoming a martial artist.
"The fourth level of the Blood Qi realm ignites the Blood Qi and transforms it into Blood Qi. From then on, one mainly focuses on cultivating the Blood Qi. Thus, the Blood Qi is first stirred. Using the cultivation method to activate the Blood Qi can increase one's strength by a thousand catties.
"The fifth level of the Blood Qi realm breaks through the limit of the Blood Qi and becomes even more powerful, filling every part of the body. Thus, the Blood Qi is abundant. Using the cultivation method to activate the Blood Qi can increase one's strength by a thousand catties.
"The sixth level of the Blood Qi realm is abundant. The Blood Qi can surge throughout the body like the waves of the ocean. Thus, the Blood Qi is like a tide. Using the cultivation method to activate the Blood Qi can increase one's strength by a thousand catties.
"The seventh level of the Blood Qi realm is when the Blood Qi circulates throughout the body. It has a stronger impact and allows for faster recovery. Thus, the Blood Qi is small. Using the cultivation method to activate the Blood Qi can increase one's strength by a thousand catties.
"The eighth level of the Blood Qi realm is small. The Blood Qi becomes large. The Blood Qi can circulate throughout the body, becoming stronger and faster. Using the cultivation method to activate the Blood Qi can increase one's strength by a thousand catties.
"The ninth level of the Blood Qi realm is when the Blood Qi is highly condensed and turns into a Blood Qi furnace. It becomes the source of the body's strength. Using the cultivation method to activate the Blood Qi can increase one's strength by a thousand catties."
After becoming a martial artist, the changes in each level from the fourth level of the Blood Qi realm to the ninth level of the Blood Qi realm were closely related to the Blood Qi.
As for the strength of the body, a thousand catties was the limit. If one wanted to exceed that limit, one either had to be born with great strength or find another way.
After officially becoming a disciple of the Clan Hall, one could enjoy the corresponding benefits. They could cultivate the first grade of the Fierce Tiger Technique, choose an inferior-class Human-class martial art to cultivate, and freely enter the first floor of the Martial Library to read non-cultivation method martial art books.
Putting back the 《Fighter》 book, Chen Zong scanned through it once more.
"The cultivation method of the Blood Qi is the Fierce Tiger Technique. There are a total of thirteen inferior-class Human-class martial arts."
Compared to the Foundation Establishment martial arts, there were very few inferior-class Human-class martial arts.
"Of the thirteen inferior-class Human-class martial arts, four are fist techniques, three are palm techniques, two are leg techniques, one is finger technique, one is saber technique, one is sword technique, and one is footwork. It seems that I have no choice." Chen Zong thought to himself.
This was the first floor of the Martial Library. The second floor contained Middle-class Human-class martial arts and the second grade of the Fierce Tiger Technique.
The third floor contained superior-class Human-class martial arts and the third grade of the Fierce Tiger Technique.
However, it was not that easy to enter the second or third floor. There were some conditions, such as enough contribution points, and so on.
Chen Zong scanned the thirteen inferior-class Human-class martial arts one by one.
"Tiger Aura Fist Technique"
"Five Spirits Fist Technique"
…
"Great Monument Smashing Hand"
…
"Whirlwind Kick Technique"
…
"One Word Iron Finger Technique"
…
"Water Splitting Saber Technique"
"Light-splitting Sword Technique"
"Wind Stepping Steps"
Chen Zong glanced back and forth between Light-splitting Sword Technique and the Wind Stepping Steps.
Footwork martial arts were relatively rare. In terms of value, they were more valuable than other martial arts. However, Chen Zong practiced swordsmanship, so he made his choice without hesitation.
Light-splitting Sword Technique!
"I can earn contribution points and buy the right to practice the Wind Stepping Steps." Chen Zong said to himself as he took out Light-splitting Sword Technique.
Recently, among the disciples who had become warriors, he was the only one who practiced swordsmanship. No one competed with him.
"Remember, you must return it within ten days." The deacon in charge of the Martial Library in the clan hall said seriously after finishing the registration.
If he did not return it on time, it would leave a stain on his record. It was unknown whether he would be able to borrow it in the future.
"I will." Chen Zong took the Light-splitting Sword Technique book and nodded.
In fact, he could have memorized all the contents of the book without taking it away. However, the feeling of reading from time to time was wonderful. It could help him better understand the mystery of this sword technique.
He walked to the underground yard with Light-splitting Sword Technique.
"Chen Zong, I want to fight with you again after I master the first level of the Mountain Fist Technique." Chen Guzhan said directly when he met Chen Zong.
"Sure." Chen Zong agreed immediately. He seemed to welcome Chen Zong.
After entering the room and closing the door, Chen Zong sat down comfortably on the dark red wooden chair. He opened the Light-splitting Sword Technique book and read it carefully.
There were many differences between Human Level martial arts and Foundation Establishment martial arts.
The Foundation Establishment Martial Arts were used to strengthen the Blood Qi and strengthen the body, so there were different moves. However, the Human Level Martial Arts were unable to strengthen the Blood Qi and strengthen the body. It required the activation of the Blood Qi in order to release its true power. Furthermore, there were no different moves, only different levels and realms.
Light-splitting Sword Technique was divided into two levels.
The first level: Light-splitting Shadow!
The second level: Light-splitting Without Shadow!
On the book, there was a mnemonic chant as well as a picture. The picture was very clear. It was a person wielding a sword and dancing. It was the cultivation movement for the first and second level of the Diffraction Sword Art.
Chen Zong read through the Diffraction Swordsmanship and thought to himself, "Only after mastering the first stage, Diffraction Shadow, can one cultivate the second stage, Shadowless Diffraction. It is indeed very different from a Foundation Establishment martial art."
Chen Zong did not start practicing right away. Although the room was not small, it was not suitable for practicing sword techniques.
"Sword techniques are not easy to practice, but Fierce Tiger Art is."
Chen Zong said to himself. He took out a wooden box from the bedside and opened it. Inside the box were three dark red balls the size of lotus seeds. They emitted a fishy smell.
Beast Blood Pill!
This was a pill made from the blood essence of a ferocious beast mixed with the essence of several kinds of ten-year-old herbs. It took dozens of hours for it to be brewed. It was similar to the Energy Pill, but its effect was much better than the Energy Pill.
The Energy Pill was only effective for Martial Disciples. For martial artists, it wasn't even qualified to be used as food to replenish their physical strength. However, the Beast Blood Pill could promote the cultivation of Qi and blood to a certain extent. After absorbing the energy contained in one Beast Blood Pill, it was almost equivalent to the harvest of a normal fourth stage Qi and blood realm martial artist who practiced a low-grade Human-level technique for a day.
Disciples of the Clan Hall who had just become martial artists could get three Beast Blood Pills as a reward. After that, they could get one Beast Blood Pill every month for free. If they wanted more, they had to rely on their own efforts and abilities.
After comprehending the first level of the Fierce Tiger Art, Chen Zong took out a Beast Blood Pill and put it in his mouth. He cleared his mind and focused on his Qi and blood. Like a ferocious tiger, he used his mind to drive the Qi and blood power.
Compared to the Qi and blood, the Qi and blood power were purer and heavier. It was more difficult to drive them. However, for Chen Zong who had refined his Qi and blood seven times before breaking through, it only took a little effort for the Qi and blood power to flow faster under his mind.
As the blood flowed faster, it was consumed little by little. The Qi was strengthened little by little and fed back to the blood, increasing the Qi and blood simultaneously.
The Beast Blood Pill had completely melted in his mouth. He swallowed it and it went down his esophagus into his stomach. It immediately spread and seeped into his blood vessels, flowing with his Qi and blood for absorption.
