Guidance!

Guidance!

The stone outside the Training Ground weighed several thousand jin, yet Jun Changxiao shattered it with a single sword strike, making everyone gasp sharply.

The martial artists from the various sects present either possessed Pulse Opening Eighth or Ninth Stage cultivation, or had reached the level of Martial Apprentice. Breaking a large stone was something they could do as well.

But they had seen clearly that when Jun Changxiao drew his sword, the Martial Dao aura he gave off was only at Pulse Opening Five Stages. Shattering a massive stone weighing several thousand jin was simply unbelievable!

Each time one opened a pulse at the Pulse Opening level, one's strength increased by a hundred jin.

Even if someone had been born with divine strength, at Pulse Opening Five Stages, they could at most unleash around a thousand jin of force. It was absolutely impossible to shake a stone weighing over two thousand jin!

Unless...

Whoosh!

Jun Changxiao drifted down gracefully and said with a smile, "Patriarch Li, this is the ninth form of the Nine Wave Sword Style. I have already evolved it."

The martial artists from every sect looked over, their eyes fixed on the sword in his hand, only to find nothing special about it.

A weapon of high quality could grant a martial artist greater strength. Jun Changxiao's sword was utterly ordinary, which meant...

"My heavens!"

"Could that sword strike really have been the ninth form?!"

"I heard that if one comprehends the Nine Wave Sword Style to its ninth form, its power is in no way inferior to an ordinary-grade Martial Technique!"

As everyone discussed it, they found their answer.

With Pulse Opening Five Stages cultivation and an ordinary weapon, shattering a giant stone weighing several thousand jin with one stroke could only have been accomplished by the ninth form, which rivaled an ordinary-grade Martial Technique!

At this thought.

The expressions on everyone's faces became wonderfully varied.

The ninth form, rumored to have been comprehended only by the City Lord, had actually been evolved today by the leader of a Ninth-rate Iron Bone Sect!

A heavy blow, a merciless slap across the face!

Patriarch Li said in disbelief, "How could this be..."

The Cangshan Sect Elder's gaze was full of mixed emotions. After a moment, he cupped his hands and said, "For Sect Leader Jun to evolve the ninth form in such a short time, Ma admires you beyond measure!"

This was heartfelt admiration.

"You flatter me."

Jun Changxiao returned the sword to Lu Qianqian, clasped his hands behind his back, and assumed the bearing of a grandmaster.

Patriarch Li's heart was a tangled mess. He had thought he could use the Nine Wave Sword Style to stump him, yet Jun Changxiao had truly displayed the ninth form that no one had comprehended for a hundred years!

"Patriarch Li."

Jun Changxiao said, "Now that I have evolved the ninth form, can your son remain in my Iron Bone Sect?"

Patriarch Li remained silent.

The display of the ninth form of the Nine Wave Sword Style had shocked and surprised him, but it was still only a low-grade sword art. He still did not believe his son would have any future following Jun Changxiao!

"Patriarch Li."

Jun Changxiao said, "You should be a man who keeps his word."

Patriarch Li's face darkened.

Just then, the Cangshan Sect Elder cupped his hands and said, "Sect Leader Jun's understanding of Martial Dao is extraordinary. Ma has a difficult problem here and hopes you can clear away his confusion."

"Please, speak."

Jun Changxiao said.

It had taken only two minutes to comprehend the Nine Wave Sword Style, and there was still plenty of time left on its duration. If he continued showing off, he could establish prestige for both himself and his sect.

The Cangshan Sect Elder said, "For many years, Ma has cultivated a Cultivation Method, but after comprehending it to the fourth layer, he has found it difficult to progress further. I hope Sect Leader Jun can offer guidance."

The martial artists of every sect were stunned.

An elder of the Fifth-rate Cangshan Sect, a genuine Martial Master expert, was seeking advice from the leader of a Ninth-rate sect!

Had they not witnessed it with their own eyes, it would have been hard to believe!

Jun Changxiao said, "If Elder Ma is willing to recite the mnemonic formula of the Cultivation Method, I can give it a try."

The Cangshan Sect Elder smiled and stood motionless where he was.

A martial artist lowered his voice and said, "Elder Ma is using the Sect Sound Transmission Technique to communicate with that guy."

"This is a high-level martial art. I truly hope that one day I can join the Cangshan Sect and cultivate martial arts to such a level!"

Hearing this, everyone was filled with envy.

On the Starfall Continent, Martial Dao Realms were important, but martial arts and Cultivation Methods were equally important. A Martial Technique that could be used for sound transmission at the Martial Master level was exceptionally good.

After a moment.

Having learned the mnemonic formula and Cultivation Method, Jun Changxiao said, "It's not a big problem."

The Cangshan Sect Elder nearly collapsed.

The Cultivation Method he had recited was of ordinary grade. He had painstakingly comprehended it for over a decade and only cultivated it to the fourth layer, yet Jun Changxiao answered with, 'It's not a big problem'!

Jun Changxiao stood still and closed his eyes. The Cultivation Method he had memorized began to whirl madly through his Sea of Consciousness as it was analyzed.

"Elder Ma."

After a moment, Jun Changxiao leaned close and spoke with him.

The martial artists from the various sects could not make out the conversation, but they clearly saw the Cangshan Sect Elder's expression first freeze, then become wooden as a chicken, followed by sudden enlightenment, and finally wild ecstasy!

Jun Changxiao drew back and said, "Follow the advice I gave you. After returning and cultivating for a month or two, you should be able to break through to a higher level."

Whoosh!

The Cangshan Sect Elder cupped his hands excitedly and said, "This Cultivation Method has troubled Ma for years. Today, after hearing Sect Leader Jun's words, it is as though divine nectar has poured over his head!"

Patriarch Li was dumbfounded.

That guy had really solved Elder Ma's Martial Dao problem?

Jun Changxiao said modestly, "Elder Ma was too close to the matter to see clearly. If it had been someone else, they could likewise have cleared away his confusion."

The Cangshan Sect Elder shook his head and said, "Without Sect Leader Jun's profound understanding of Martial Dao, it would be absolutely impossible to clear away Ma's confusion."

For Elder Ma to praise him so highly, that guy must truly have some ability!

Could it be?

Did people truly exist in this world whose cultivation was unimpressive, yet whose understanding of Martial Dao had reached an extraordinarily high level?

The martial artists of every sect muttered to themselves.

"Sect Leader Jun."

The Cangshan Sect Elder cupped his hands and said, "Ma has matters to return to the sect to handle. If fate allows us to meet again, he will certainly seek further instruction on Martial Dao!"

Having received guidance, he was surely impatient to return and enter seclusion, striving to break his Cultivation Method through to the fifth layer and leap from Martial Master to Martial Grandmaster in one stroke!

Jun Changxiao cupped his hands and said, "Until we meet again."

The Cangshan Sect Elder did not hesitate further. He left with his disciples, wishing he could return to the sect at once to enter seclusion and comprehend it.

As they watched Elder Ma leave, a middle-aged man approached with a trembling smile and said, "Sect Leader Jun, Chen also has a Martial Dao problem. I hope you can offer some guidance."

"I can."

Jun Changxiao said, "But pay one hundred taels first."

The Cangshan Sect was a Fifth-rate sect after all, so he had given Elder Ma face and offered guidance free of charge. But these Eighth- and Ninth-rate sects had to pay.

"Of course, of course!"

The middle-aged man hurriedly presented a banknote worth one hundred taels of silver. In his eyes, if Jun Changxiao could even resolve Elder Ma's Martial Dao problem, then spending one hundred taels was well worth it!

Jun Changxiao accepted the banknote and said, "Speak."

Afraid others would hear him, the middle-aged man hurriedly moved closer and quietly explained the confusion he had encountered in Martial Dao.

Using his Insight Ability, Jun Changxiao quickly analyzed the Martial Technique the man described and quietly gave him the correct advice.

"That's right!"

The middle-aged man slapped his forehead and said, "How did I not think to adapt a little!"

"Many thanks to Sect Leader Jun for your guidance. Chen will take his leave first!"

Seeing the fellow scamper away in delight, the martial artists from every sect could tell, no matter how foolish they were, that the Iron Bone Sect's leader possessed real ability!

"Sect Leader Jun, Chang has a difficult problem, and I hope you..."

"One hundred taels."

"Of course, of course!"

The martial artist surnamed Chang hurriedly paid. After receiving guidance, he left with his heart blooming in joy.

After that, many martial artists who had encountered problems in Martial Dao crowded around, including quite a few who had once mocked Jun Changxiao.

No problem, no problem.

He remembered every last one of them.

Want guidance? Fine, hand over two hundred taels.

Although the martial artists who had mocked Jun Changxiao were on the verge of collapse, they still paid painfully and received satisfactory answers one after another.
