(A new volume, a new day, a new year. Please support me.)
In the small courtyard, the sword light was dazzling, the shadow of the sword flashed, the sound of fighting was melodious, and sparks were flying.
Two figures leaped and moved, wielding their swords as if they were their arms. One was unpredictable and unpredictable, while the other was simple, direct, and sharp.
After fighting for a while, they both put away their swords.
They were Chen Zong and Chen Chuyun.
"Brother, your swordsmanship is profound, not inferior to mine at all," Chen Chuyun said seriously, with a hint of joy in his eyes.
When they fought just now, they didn't use any martial arts of the same rank. They just split up the swordsmanship of the Foundation Building and used it as they pleased. They didn't stick to any moves and changed according to the actual situation.
Chen Zong's swordsmanship was flexible and changeable. He could control any style, like an all-rounder. Chen Chuyun's swordsmanship abandoned some of its fanciful moves and became concise and direct. Every move was sharp, as if it existed only for killing.
"I have nothing to teach you about swordsmanship." Chen Chuyun said, "Now that your internal injuries have healed, you have to focus on improving your cultivation."
The strength of a martial artist was composed of two aspects: cultivation and martial arts. Neither of them could be lacking.
If one's cultivation was high but his martial arts attainment was low, he wouldn't be able to exert his strength and wouldn't be strong enough. On the other hand, if one's cultivation was low but his martial arts attainment was high, his basic strength would be limited even if he could exceed his limit.
Chen Zong's swordsmanship had already surpassed many of his peers. What he lacked was his cultivation.
"I have a Big Red Blood Pill. It lasts for a long time, and the effect of cultivating Qi and blood is twice as good as usual." Chen Chuyun took out a red pill and handed it to Chen Zong.
The Big Red Blood Pill was more effective than the Small Red Blood Pill. One pill could cultivate for ten days, which was equivalent to thirty days of work.
Chen Chuyun left. She also had to cultivate, so she couldn't stay with Chen Zong forever.
After cultivating for a while, Chen Zong left the courtyard and went to the cafeteria.
The Bright Sword Hall's dining hall was very big, and the dishes were also very rich. You could eat as much as you wanted for free. However, the food was relatively ordinary. For example, the bones and meat of ferocious beasts, vegetables, rice, steamed buns, and so on. If you wanted to eat better food, such as demon beasts' flesh, soup made from aged herbs, or carefully cultivated Tiger Tooth Rice, and so on, you would have to pay.
The better the food, the more obvious the nourishment effect on a martial artist's body.
However, Chen Zong took some free food. After all, there were many ways to spend money, so he had to be careful with his spending.
"He doesn't even dare to compete and directly forfeits. I feel humiliated to be sharing a table with such a person."
As soon as Chen Zong sat down, the person at the same table snorted angrily and got up to leave.
"I heard that he got first place in the Martial Wind City's Battle of Heroes. I didn't expect him to be such trash."
"A piece of trash."
It was as if a stone had stirred up a thousand waves. The gazes that fell on Chen Zong were full of contempt and mockery.
Chen Zong didn't pay any attention to them and continued to eat.
A few days ago, Chen Zong had also gone to the Octagonal Circle Martial Field to watch the competition. It was very exciting, and there were a few powerful ones. Even if he recovered from his internal injuries and went all out, he still wouldn't have the confidence to defeat them.
In the end, the first place went to Nangong Ao from the Nangong Family of the Ultimate Martial Main City, the second place went to Lei Jiu from the Thunder Martial City, and the third place went to Jin Zhongyue from the Jinwu City.
In the past few years, the disciples of the Glorious Sword Clan would definitely take one of the top three places. It was very impressive. However, it wasn't this year, and it wasn't because they lost, but because they forfeited.
In many people's eyes, forfeiting before the battle was equivalent to a deserter, like a dog that had lost its home. This caused the disciples of the Glorious Sword Clan to be mocked by the disciples of the other clans. They were very dissatisfied with Chen Zong.
Chen Zong wouldn't explain, and there was no need for him to explain.
"If I were his father, I would have killed him with one slap." Suddenly, someone said angrily, which attracted a sharp gaze that seemed to want to pierce through him.
Unknowingly, Chen Zong had stood up. His eyes were cold, like an unsheathed sword.
"What is it? Did I say something wrong? You are a piece of trash who fled because of fear." The person glared at him, unwilling to be outdone.
"You can say whatever you want about me, but do not insult my family. Either you apologize or draw your sword." Chen Zong's tone was cold and harsh.
"Do you think I'm afraid of you …" That person stood up abruptly. Someone beside him hurriedly pulled him back to his seat and quickly whispered something into his ear, causing that person's expression to change drastically. Soon after, he smiled at Chen Zong and said, "Sorry, sorry, his mouth is a bit harsh, but he doesn't mean any harm. Don't take it to heart.
"Sorry, I didn't mean it." The person said casually, his apology was very insincere.
Chen Zong vaguely knew that the reason the person apologized was probably due to the deterrence of Sister Yun's name. Suddenly, he lost interest in eating and stood up to leave.
"I still haven't reached the level where I am not disturbed by external things." Walking out of the cafeteria, Chen Zong smiled and walked toward the Hundred Medicine Tower. He planned to buy some herbs and a cauldron to brew the Frost Fire Poison Membrane Ointment.
Although there was no discount, it was cheaper than the Dingtian Pavilion. It cost 8,000 White Jade Coins per serving. Chen Zong bought three servings first. He still had more than 10,000 White Jade Coins left.
With his experience, he returned to the small courtyard and placed the bronze cauldron in the kitchen. He began to brew the first serving of Frost Fire Poison Membrane Ointment.
Each serving of Frost Fire Poison Membrane Ointment took three days and three nights to brew. During this time, Chen Zong did not need to pay attention to it at all times. He could cultivate and rest.
After consuming the Great Scarlet Blood Pill and cultivating the True Sword Heaven Supreme Skill, Chen Zong could clearly feel his Qi and blood increasing at an alarming rate.
"At this speed, I can definitely break through to the sixth level of the Qi and blood realm within a month." Chen Zong thought to himself.
To him, every time his cultivation increased, the increase in his strength was also very obvious.
The disciples of the Seven Lights Martial Academy could receive a small Scarlet Blood Pill for free every month. They also had a chance to choose a middle-grade Mortal Rank martial art or art for free. Chen Zong thought for a moment and decided not to choose for now.
In terms of martial arts, he had the True Sword Heaven Supreme Skill, which was much better than middle-grade Mortal Rank martial arts. In terms of sword arts, the higher the grade, the more Qi and blood it would consume. With his cultivation of the fifth level of the Qi and blood realm, if he were to use a middle-grade Mortal Rank sword art, he would probably run out of Qi and blood in less than two uses. He did not need to use it for now.
Besides, the Spectral Sword Art had been cultivated to perfection and its power was extraordinary. There was also the True Secret Sky Light and Cloud Shadow Sword Art that was even more powerful.
Chen Zong planned to save this opportunity for now and strive to break through his cultivation first.
Every disciple of the Seven Lights Martial Academy was very hardworking. They were either racing against time to cultivate or accepting missions to go out and train. They were trying their best to use the time to improve themselves, whether it was cultivation or martial arts.
After the first day, Bai Yulou did not come looking for trouble again. Perhaps due to the deterrence of Sister Yun's name, Chen Zong was also happy to be free and cultivated with all his might.
He smeared the brewed Frost Fire Poison Membrane Ointment on every part of his body and cultivated the Body Tempering Art. Cold and hot alternated nine times in a row. When the ointment powder was sprinkled, the skin membrane on his body became much tighter.
After cultivating the Body Tempering Art, he began to cultivate sword arts, and then the True Sword Heaven Supreme Skill. Because of the Great Scarlet Blood Pill, Chen Zong spent more time on the True Sword Heaven Supreme Skill.
Time flew. In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed since Chen Zong entered the Seven Lights Martial Academy.
When the Spectral Sword Art was executed, the sword beams flashed. The beams seemed scattered, but in reality, they were all under Chen Zong's control. He could control them freely and instantly converge them. Every sword beam was very powerful, and the changes between them were even more unpredictable.
"Good, the Spectral Sword Art has finally reached the Realm of Refinement." Chen Zong wiped the sweat off his forehead and revealed a smile.
The Realm of Refinement referred to the Realm of Refinement when the Spectral Strike and Shadowless Spectral Strike had both reached the Realm of Refinement. The two seemed to have become one, and could be separated or combined at will. There was no difference between the first and second stage.
The reason he could reach the Realm of Refinement was because of his improvement in sword arts, and also because of the many times he sparred with Chen Zong during this period of time. Chen Zong had also cultivated the Spectral Sword Art before, and he had reached the Realm of Refinement earlier than Chen Zong.
Once he reached the Realm of Refinement, he understood the various essences of the Spectral Sword Art better. Vaguely, Chen Zong felt that the Spectral Sword Art of Refinement and the Sky Light Cloud Shadow Sword of Truth seemed to have something in common. He could not help but carefully study them.
However, his understanding of the Realm of Truth was still too little, and he could not find any clues.
He began cultivating the True Sword Heavenly Supreme Skill. Now that his cultivation had reached the peak of Qi and Blood Realm Level Five, the next step was to break through.
The Vitality Force was like a sword, circulating in his body over and over again. Suddenly, Chen Zong felt the Vitality Force in his body fluctuating. Just as he thought that his cultivation had broken through, he realized that the True Sword Heavenly Supreme Skill had broken through and reached the third stage.
The third stage of the True Sword Heavenly Supreme Skill had an even faster cultivation speed and recovery speed.
Thanks to the cultivation of the Bodybuilding Technique, his tolerance for strength had greatly increased. The Vitality Force of the third stage of the True Sword Heavenly Supreme Skill did not cause any burden to his body at all.
After another round of True Sword Heavenly Supreme Skill circulation, the Vitality Force vibrated again. This time, it was a real breakthrough.
Qi and Blood Realm Level Six!
The Qi and Blood Realm Level Six was also known as the Vitality Tidal Wave. It was like a tidal wave crashing through the body.
Traces of Vitality were produced and diffused from the body, increasing continuously. Finally, it was like a surging tidal wave.
As his Vitality circulated, Chen Zong immediately felt that his entire body was filled with an even more powerful force.
His arm strength could reach as high as four thousand catties.
'With this cultivation, my strength is even stronger. Even if I don't use the Heaven Light and Cloud Shadow Sword, I can still fight an ordinary Qi and Blood Realm Level Seven,' Chen Zong thought to himself.
In the past, when he did not use the Heaven Light and Cloud Shadow Sword, his strength could defeat most Qi and Blood Realm Level Six, but he was still no match for Qi and Blood Realm Level Seven.
'The gap between Qi and Blood Realm Level Six and Blood Realm Level Seven is even greater. It's not something that can be bridged in a short period of time.
'However, if I can cultivate in the Boiling Blood Pool, I might be able to break through to Qi and Blood Realm Level Seven in a short period of time.'
Previously, one of the rewards for the top three in each Martial City's Battle of the Heroes was the opportunity to cultivate in the Boiling Blood Pool. Last year, Chen Chuyun had used this opportunity to advance from the peak of Qi and Blood Realm Level Six to Blood Realm Level Seven. Since then, he had improved by leaps and bounds with his superb swordsmanship. Today, he was at Qi and Blood Realm Level Eight.
Earlier, Chen Zong had already applied for the right to cultivate in the Boiling Blood Pool at the Hundred Affair Pavilion. He had to pay ten thousand White Jade Coins in advance. According to the batch of twelve, he was in the 130th batch. In other words, he would have to wait 129 days for his turn. If he wanted to advance, he would have to challenge someone at the front of the batch and replace them.
'I'll cultivate to the peak of Qi and Blood Realm Level Six while accepting some missions that don't require much time to earn Jade Coins. However, since my cultivation has broken through to Qi and Blood Realm Level Six and my Spectral Swordsmanship has also reached the Intricate Realm, I can make a trip to the Sword Martial Tower and find a Middle-grade Human-class martial art to cultivate.'
