Chu Li opened his eyes and looked at him.
"Good! Good! "Lu Zhengjun looked at him in disbelief." I didn't expect you to be a genius, I wasn't mistaken! "
Chu Li looked at him coldly. "It's a pity that I didn't cultivate to the sixth level!"
"It's already extremely fast." Lu Zhengjun waved his hand. "Fillip Swift Thunder is too powerful, and the backlash is too strong. You mustn't force it. If you feel like it's too much, you should stop to prevent yourself from going astray."
Chu Li nodded. "If I cultivate Fillip Swift Thunder, can I enter the inner cliff?"
"You're almost there." Lu Zhengjun pondered. "From what I know, Zhao Tianxing cultivated the Dancing Crane Ninth Heaven Technique, and his swordsmanship is exquisite too. Your Fillip Swift Thunder can catch him off guard, but you'll need other martial arts to conceal it."
"Swordsmanship?" Chu Li frowned.
Swordsmanship was the easiest way to conceal Fillip Swift Thunder. When one's opponent attacked with a sword, one would usually guess how one's sword would react and would neglect how one's hand should move. If one suddenly flicked the sword, one would easily be hit.
"Swordsmanship is fine too." Lu Zhengjun pondered. "But swordsmanship is hard to learn and mastery. Blade techniques are faster."
"Swordsmanship," Chu Li replied.
"Alright, what swordsmanship do you want to cultivate?"
"It's best if it's fast and can kill in one hit."
"In my opinion, it's the opposite. You should cultivate something complicated and exquisite … I'll choose a set of swordsmanship for you." Lu Zhengjun pondered. "Cultivate Fillip Swift Thunder to the sixth level first, then cultivate swordsmanship."
Chu Li nodded.
For the next two days, Chu Li cultivated Fillip Swift Thunder diligently. Lu Zhengjun did not disturb him, so he successfully reached the sixth level. Fillip Swift Thunder was extremely powerful. One hit was enough to numb one's body and cause one to lose control for a moment.
Chu Li sighed to himself. The power of Fillip Swift Thunder was similar to that of Heaven's Thunder Palm, but the paths taken by Heaven's Thunder Palm and Fillip Swift Thunder did not overlap in any way. He was secretly surprised as he initially thought that Fillip Swift Thunder and Heaven's Thunder Palm should be somewhat similar, but in the end, there was nothing in common between the two.
Chu Li would leave the wooden house at night and appear at the High Duke's Public House. He would hug his beauty, Xiao Qi, and then return to the wooden house in the morning to cultivate and meditate. Even so, his progress was extremely fast.
If Ou Yangming was not afraid of arousing Lu Zhengjun's suspicion, he would have mastered Fillip Swift Thunder.
Early in the morning, Lu Zhengjun gave Ou Yangming a secret manual. It was the Great Heaven-deriving Sword Technique.
This set of sword techniques was meticulous and detailed. The sword strikes were like an inescapable net that covered every inch of space, and all directions were taken into consideration. Every sword strike required great effort, and one sword was connected to the other in a continuous and continuous manner, just like a game of chess.
Chu Li was very interested in this sword manual. He felt that it had opened a new window for him. It was particularly novel and interesting. He had seen this kind of sword technique before, but none of them were as detailed as this one.
If he could fuse the Great Heaven-deriving Sword with his current sword technique, the power of his sword momentum would be even stronger.
The Great Heaven-deriving Sword Technique and the formation were slightly compatible with his Manifestation of Nature Restoration as if they contained the mysteries of Heaven and Earth.
"I think you're suited to this type of sword technique. Very few people cultivate the Great Heaven-deriving Sword Technique because it's too complicated. Moreover, you can't use it even if you've mastered it. You need a unique talent. Try it," Lu Zhengjun said. "If you can't, change to another sword technique."
"This sword technique is really good." Chu Li nodded. "There's no need to change, I can cultivate it."
"That's good." Lu Zhengjun shook his head. "It's a pity that I've never cultivated this sword technique before, so you'll have to figure it out yourself. However, I can spar with you to help you understand this sword technique."
"Alright." Chu Li nodded.
After practicing for two days, he was able to perform it when he sparred with Lu Zhengjun.
The Great Heaven-deriving Sword Technique was similar to the layout in a game of Go, where every move would force one's opponent to follow one's own path. By the time one's opponent could react, one would already be in a desperate situation and would not be able to escape. The Great Heaven-deriving Sword Technique was similar as well. Usually, one strike after another would predict one's opponent's response, forcing one to follow a certain path and eventually lose.
Chu Li had experienced the mystery of this sword technique and found a way to break it. He had to destroy with all his might, and every move was meant to perish together with his opponent. This was the only way to prevent himself from being led by the nose and to avoid falling into a hopeless situation step by step.
When Lu Zhengjun exchanged blows with Chu Li, he had an illusion that he had turned into a flying insect that fell into a spider's web. He was entangled tighter and tighter until he could no longer move and was bitten.
Therefore, if Lu Zhengjun did not want to end up in a situation where he could not struggle, he had to risk his life in the beginning and must not take the normal path.
In the evening, after the two of them exchanged blows, Lu Zhengjun sheathed his sword and sighed. "Alright, you can try challenging Zhao Tianxing now!"
"I'll do it tomorrow!" Chu Li smiled.
For a period of time, Chu Li had been diligently cultivating his martial arts. In the eyes of outsiders, he had returned to the High Duke's Public House to avoid the limelight of the Crown Prince's Residence. The Secret Guardians Hall was still hot on his trail, and it was said that someone had reported Chu Li for colluding with the Holy Church of Light.
Everyone knew that Chu Li and the Holy Church of Light were like fire and water. However, the Secret Guardians Hall used this to interrogate Chu Li and wanted him to explain clearly. The people from the Secret Guardians Hall had already followed them to the Yi Public House, but they were stopped outside the Public House.
Apart from the High Duke's Public House, Chu Li's other identity, Zhao Dahe, was also idling around in Gale City. He would occasionally show his face and continue his Isolated Cultivation. Fortunately, he was lucky that the Holy Church of Light did not have any missions, so he could still be carefree.
At this time, he felt that he could not split himself into two. It seemed like the Heavenly Demonic Power was not omnipotent. After all, one person could not be used as many as several people. Time was limited.
He Shu and the other two had been watching the martial arts field. When they saw the improvement in Chu Li's swordsmanship and the fight with Lu Zhengjun, they were dumbfounded and felt inferior. Without even fighting, they knew that they were far from being Chu Li's match.
The next morning, a tall and handsome young man slowly walked to the martial arts field. He glanced at everyone and said, "I'm Zhao Tianxing, an inner cliff disciple. I heard that outer cliff disciple Lu Guangdi wants to challenge you?"
Chu Li came out of the house and gave a fist salute. "I'm Lu Guangdi, and I want to enter the inner cliff."
"Alright!" Zhao Tianxing said, "Let's have a fight then."
Chu Li asked, "If I defeat you, I can enter the inner cliff?"
"Yes." Zhao Tianxing looked at him lazily and nodded. "Junior Brother Lu, your inner energy cultivation level is quite high. I wonder how your martial arts are."
Chu Li scoffed. "You'll know once you try."
Then, he thrust his sword at Zhao Tianxing, forcing him to draw his sword.
Chu Li performed the Great Heaven-deriving Sword Technique one move after another, leaving Zhao Tianxing with no choice but to counter each move. Gradually, he was at a disadvantage.
Zhao Tianxing was surprised. He did not expect an outer cliff disciple to have such an exquisite sword technique. He gradually felt that he was no match for Chu Li. If this went on, he would be defeated, and his reputation would be ruined.
With this thought in mind, he began to change his technique. His body suddenly became as light as a feather and moved with the wind. Whenever the tip of Chu Li's sword approached, there would be a gust of wind, and his body would retreat along with the tip of Chu Li's sword.
