Tai Chi Swordplay was the earliest swordplay that Chen Feng used for fitness.

However, that was just a health-preserving sword technique and had little practical value in combat.

Therefore, Chen Feng quickly abandoned it.

Later, after obtaining his First Soul Skill, the Heavy Sword, he began practicing the technique of changing the weight of the sword under the Grandmaster's advice. As his practice time increased, Chen Feng gradually felt that the changes in weight of the Tai Chi Bagua Sword seemed to have a similar effect to the balance of softness and hardness in Tai Chi.

A light sword is a soft sword, Heavy Sword is a hard sword. If both are incorporated into the framework of Tai Chi, then Chen Feng will create a Tai Chi Swordplay of his own.

However, a problem arose at this point: Chen Feng had not learned the authentic Tai Chi Swordplay and only had a Monkey Version he had learned online. This made it very difficult for him to integrate light and Heavy Sword.

Chen Feng wasn't a martial arts genius like Zhang Sanfeng or Yang Guo. For him, figuring out a practical sword technique from a set of health-preserving sword techniques was still a bit beyond his capabilities.

But there was no other way; the work still had to be done, so Chen Feng had no choice but to bite the bullet and give it a try, and he did manage to get a rough idea of what it was all about.

Originally, Chen Feng planned to retrieve the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Condensing Jade and then use a small amount of money to save his life to achieve this goal. However, he unexpectedly entered a state of deep concentration during Zhao Wuji's class today.

As the Feather of Wind continued to shoot towards him, Chen Feng's gaze became increasingly peaceful.

The movements of the Tai Chi Bagua Sword in his hand began to have a certain rhythm, seemingly slow but actually fast, sometimes slow and sometimes fast. All the flying Feather of Wind were easily deflected by him, unable to harm him in the slightest.

No matter how many feathers Bai Chenxiang released, he could handle them with ease.

At the same time, the flow of his Soul Power was also undergoing subtle changes, becoming more in line with his current movements.

As he watched, Zhao Wuji's expression gradually changed, and he muttered to himself in disbelief:

"Sword Intent? My goodness, what kind of monster is that?"

As Bai Chenxiang continued her attacks, Chen Feng's sword danced more and more smoothly. He had entered a Enlightenment State. On the contrary, Bai Chenxiang's Soul Power began to gradually weaken, and the Frequency of her attacks began to slow down.

Zhao Wuji quickly realized this and became somewhat anxious. He knew how rare this Enlightenment State was, and that if he missed it this time, he might never have another chance.

However, Bai Chenxiang was such a suitable archer that Xiao Wu and Ma Hongjun could hardly replace her. Zhao Wuji was unsure whether replacing her with someone else would interrupt Chen Feng's enlightenment, and he hesitated for a moment.

He dared not even make the slightest change to the Gravity Field he maintained, for fear that even the slightest change would shatter Chen Feng's enlightenment.

The people running laps on the sidelines were still marveling at this scene, amazed that Chen Feng could wield the sword so beautifully.

They were unaware that Bai Chenxiang was in a predicament, nor did they know that Chen Feng's rare Enlightenment State would be interrupted as Bai Chenxiang's Soul Power dwindled.

Only Tang San noticed something was wrong. Without hesitation, he quickly came to Bai Chenxiang's side and immediately shot several Willow Leaf Blade at Chen Feng.

At the same time, he said to Bai Chenxiang:

"Go and rest over there. There's no time to explain now. Just do as I say."

After saying that, Tang San wiped his hand across the ring, and several more Hidden Weapon flew towards Chen Feng. Moreover, the force with which these Hidden Weapon struck Chen Feng Sword was almost the same as that of the Feather of Wind.

Bai Chenxiang retreated to the side, somewhat bewildered. Zhao Wuji, seeing this, could not ask any questions and could only keep a close eye on Chen Feng's condition.

Fortunately, because Tang San adjusted his strength, his Hidden Weapon Feather of Wind were seamlessly connected, so Chen Feng's Enlightenment State was not interrupted.

Seeing this, Tang San secretly breathed a sigh of relief and began to unleash his Hidden Weapon.

Willow Leaf Blade, Flying Locust Stone, Money Dart, Bone-Piercing Nail —all sorts of Hidden Weapon bloomed in Tang San's hands, shooting towards Chen Feng, only to be deflected around by his sword dance.

Chen Feng's sword dance became increasingly skillful, and the Hidden Weapon that Tang San shot out also began to become more elaborate.

Some flew straight, some flew diagonally, and some even circled around behind, but none of them could break through Chen Feng's sword encirclement.

This was partly because Tang San held back some of his strength and didn't go all out, and partly because Chen Feng's swordsmanship had become increasingly refined, which is why this effect was achieved.

As the incense stick burned out, Chen Feng's movements began to slow down, and Tang San's attack also slowed down.

As the incense in Zhao Wuji's hand burned out completely, the sword in Chen Feng's hand also quietly disappeared, and he staggered and fell to the ground.

Zhao Wuji strode forward to help him up, carefully checked his condition, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's alright, I'm just exhausted."

He beckoned to Tang San, "Take him to his dormitory."

"Yes, Teacher Zhao." Tang San ran over, picked up Chen Feng, and headed towards the dormitory.

Zhao Wuji stood up and, seeing everyone else had stopped and were looking in their direction, glared at them. "What are you looking at! Did I tell you to stop? Keep running!"

When Chen Feng woke up again, it was already evening.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he realized something was wrong.

"I'm Level 30?"

Chen Feng sensed the Soul Power within his body and muttered to himself with some uncertainty.

He took out a white crystal from the Blood Sky Vault, poured his Soul Power into it, and the crystal exploded with a bang the next second.

The Soul Power Testing Crystal vary in color depending on their level. This white crystal is used to test Soul Power below Level 30. If the Soul Power exceeds Level 30, the crystal will burst, just like it is now.

In other words, after his enlightenment during the day, Chen Feng not only perfected his swordsmanship but also successfully broke through to Level 30 and is about to obtain his Third Soul Ring.

Just as Chen Feng was feeling overjoyed, the door was pushed open, and Tang San walked in carrying several steamed buns.

Seeing that Chen Feng was awake, Tang San placed the plate he was carrying on his bedside table and said:

"I was thinking of waking you up if you weren't awake yet. This is the food I left for you. How are you feeling now?"

"Very good, and I've broken through to Level 30." Chen Feng said as he picked up a steamed bun and started eating.

"Oh? Then we need to inform the teachers and ask them to arrange for you to Soul Hunting," Tang San said.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow morning, there's no rush."

"Alright, we'll do it your way." Tang San glanced at Chen Feng, who was eating a steamed bun, and couldn't help but ask:

Did you enter Enlightenment State during the day?

Chen Feng was taken aback upon hearing this. "So that's Enlightenment State?"

"Hmm, this state is very rare. Have you gained anything?" Tang San asked curiously.

"Indeed, there are. Swordsmanship goes without saying; you should be able to see that. The main difference lies in the changes to the Mysterious Heaven Skill."

"Changes in the Mysterious Heaven Skill?" Tang San raised his eyebrows.

"That's right." Chen Feng stuffed the steamed bun into his mouth, took out paper and pen from his ring, and began to write and draw.

"After I entered that state, the flow of my Soul Power changed to some extent. Here's what happened."

He wrote down the changes he had experienced during the day on a piece of paper and then handed the paper to Tang San.

Tang San took it and read it carefully, then practiced the Mysterious Heaven Skill according to the instructions written on it, and said:

"This is a variant of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, incorporating hard energy into the original and combining it well with soft energy, but it doesn't improve the cultivation speed."

"Will it be useful to you?" Chen Feng asked.

Tang San thought for a moment, then nodded and said:

"If we disregard that, the new cultivation technique isn't as effective for me as the Mysterious Heaven Skill, but if we include that, the new technique is indeed more suitable for me."

As he spoke, he made a hammer-swinging motion.

Chen Feng suddenly realized, "That makes sense. The characteristics of the Mysterious Heaven Skill are its continuous vitality and balanced nature, but it is slightly inferior in terms of explosive power, which makes it somewhat unsuitable for that. In that case, wouldn't you say that I have innovated upon the Mysterious Heaven Skill?"

"Of course it counts, it's a remarkable achievement," Tang San said with some emotion.

In his previous life, Chen Feng's achievements would have at least secured him a direct entry into the inner sect, and he might even have been accepted as the sect leader's successor and groomed as the next sect leader.

And no one can object.

"In that case, you can practice this new technique. By the way, should I give it a name? Or should we just call it the Mysterious Heaven Skill?" Chen Feng pondered.

Tang San taught him several of the Tang Sect's unique skills, including the Mysterious Heaven Skill, back then. Now, he has innovated and returned the Mysterious Heaven Skill to him. I wonder if this counts as an export that is then re-imported.

"Let's choose a new name, Mysterious Heaven Skill. This name sounds weird," Tang San said.

"Then let's call it Tai Chi Skill Fu." Chen Feng was too lazy to do anything fancy, just wanted something simple and clear.

The next morning.

Chen Feng and Tang San arrived at the Cafeteria, intending to have some breakfast to fill their stomachs, but they saw a tall man with heterochromatic eyes sitting in the Cafeteria.

Chen Feng was taken aback at first, then smiled and said:

"Big Brother Dai, when did you get back?"

"I came back last night, but it was too late to come find you guys," Dai Mubai said with a smile as he stood up. "You've been at the Academy for a few days now, how have you been?"

"That's pretty good. I even broke through Level 30 yesterday." Chen Feng went to get some breakfast and came to the table to eat while saying, "I was just about to talk to my teachers today and ask them to take me to get Soul Ring."

"You've broken through to Level 30?" Dai Mubai's eyes widened. "Your cultivation speed is terrifying! You can still grow this fast even without the Foundation Ring."

"It was also a coincidence," Chen Feng said with a smile. "Speaking of which, what was your Fourth Soul Ring this time?"

He knew about the effects of Dai Mubai's second Third Soul Ring from their previous correspondence.

The Second Soul Ring is Dai Mubai's Foundation Ring, named White Tiger Ripping Wave Claw. Its effect is that it allows Dai Mubai to absorb wind energy through the Flow of air and to attach Wind Attribute energy to his claws.

When the White Tiger Ripping Wave Claw is activated, Dai Mubai's claw attacks will inflict terrifying tearing damage, which will greatly enhance his melee killing ability.

Furthermore, this Soul Skill allows him to unleash claw waves over a certain distance during attacks. While the distance isn't very far, it can serve as a mid-to-close-range attack method.

Dai Mubai's Third Soul Ring ring is called White Tiger Gale Transformation, which can greatly enhance his attack power and speed, and is very simple and unpretentious.

Just as Dai Mubai was about to answer Chen Feng's questions and explain the effects of his Fourth Soul Skill, Oscar's distinctive soft voice suddenly rang out from outside, interrupting Dai Mubai's explanation.

"I broke through! I reached Level 30! Hahahaha!"

As the sound came, Oscar rushed in like a gust of wind.

Then he saw Dai Mubai and the other two, and after a moment of surprise, he beamed with joy and said:

"Boss Dai, Bro Feng, Tang San, I have good news for you, I've broken through to Level 30!"

"Congratulations! Our Academy will have two more Soul Elder now." Dai Mubai's eyes showed some amazement, and Chen Feng and Tang San also congratulated Oscar.

"Two Soul Elder?" Oscar's gaze instinctively fell on Chen Feng. "Bro Feng, you broke through too?"

"Yes," Chen Feng said with a slight smile.

"My goodness, you're amazing!" Oscar exclaimed sincerely. "You've truly succeeded in both academics and professional development!"

Dai Mubai raised an eyebrow. "You know his identity?"

"That's right." Oscar rubbed his nose with his thumb and said smugly:

"I figured it out myself, wasn't that amazing? That fat guy thought Bro Feng was the dean's illegitimate son. If I hadn't reminded him, he probably would never have guessed it in his entire life."

"It's amazing he even came up with this idea," Dai Mubai said speechlessly. "But you and Fatty should keep it to yourselves; don't go around telling everyone."

"Absolutely right, I already told Fatty that." Oscar gave a thumbs up.

As the group chatted, the others arrived at the Cafeteria one after another, introduced themselves to Dai Mubai, and got to know each other for the first time.

After everyone arrived, Chen Feng brought up the topic of names again. Dai Mubai didn't care much about it, so the nine of them officially adopted the name Nine-Headed Serpent.

And so, in a simple little Cafeteria, the now infamous Nine-Headed Serpent Organization was founded.

After breakfast, everyone went to the large playground for class.

The person who taught them this time was Flender, who had just returned. The lesson consisted of eating the food summoned by Oscar, which Flender called Adaptability Training.

Everyone found this bizarre training method somewhat difficult. Apart from Chen Feng, who ate with relish, the others forced themselves to swallow it while holding their noses.

After Flender tasted Oscar's Tofu, he immediately sensed the change in the Tofu and learned that Oscar had broken through to Level 30.

With Chen Feng also breaking through to Level 30, Flender immediately decided that Zhao Wuji would lead the nine of them to the Star Dou Great Forest to Soul Hunting a day later.
