Guidance!

Chapter 15: Guidance!

The stone outside the Training Ground weighed several thousand catties, yet it was shattered by a single sword strike from Jun Changxiao, causing everyone present to gasp in shock.

Among the martial artists from various sects present, some possessed the eighth or ninth stage of Pulse Opening, while others had reached the level of Martial Apprentice; they could certainly manage to break a large stone.

However, they saw very clearly that when Jun Changxiao swung his sword, the Martial Dao aura he emitted was only at the fifth stage of Pulse Opening, making it truly incredible that he could shatter a multi-thousand-catty boulder!

At the Pulse Opening level, every opened pulse increases strength by one hundred catties.

Even with innate divine strength, a cultivation of the fifth stage of Pulse Opening would at most erupt with about a thousand catties of force; shaking a stone weighing over two thousand catties should be absolutely impossible!

Unless...

"Swish!"

Jun Changxiao landed gracefully and smiled, "Patriarch Li, this is the ninth form of the Nine Wave Sword Style. This Seat has already demonstrated it."

The martial artists from various sects looked over, locking their eyes on the sword he held, only to find nothing special about it.

High-quality weapons can provide a martial artist with more strength amplification, but the sword Jun Changxiao held was completely ordinary, which meant...

"My god!"

"Could that sword strike really be the ninth form?!"

"I heard that if one comprehends the Nine Wave Sword Style to the ninth form, the power generated is absolutely no weaker than a Mortal-grade Martial Technique!"

As the crowd discussed, they found the answer in their hearts.

With a cultivation of the fifth stage of Pulse Opening and an ordinary weapon, shattering a multi-thousand-catty boulder with one strike could only be achieved by the ninth form, which was comparable to a Mortal-grade Martial Technique!

Thinking of this.

The expressions on everyone's faces became fascinating.

The ninth form, which was rumored to be comprehended only by the City Lord, had actually been demonstrated today by the Sect Leader of a ninth-rate Iron Bone Sect!

A heavy blow, a ruthless slap to the face!

Patriarch Li said in disbelief, "How is this possible..."

The Cangshan Sect Elder's gaze was filled with complexity. After a moment, he cupped his hands and said, "Sect Leader Jun being able to demonstrate the ninth form in such a short time makes Ma admire you greatly!"

This was heartfelt admiration.

"You flatter me."

Jun Changxiao returned the sword to Lu Qianqian and stood with his hands behind his back, projecting the demeanor of a grandmaster.

Patriarch Li felt a mix of emotions. He had thought he could stump him with the Nine Wave Sword Style, but he never expected him to actually execute the ninth form that no one had comprehended in a hundred years!

"Patriarch Li."

Jun Changxiao said, "This Seat has demonstrated the ninth form; can your son stay in my Iron Bone Sect now?"

Patriarch Li remained silent.

Executing the ninth form of the Nine Wave Sword Style shocked and surprised him, but it was still a low-grade sword technique after all. He still didn't believe his son would have a future following him!

"Patriarch Li."

Jun Changxiao said, "You should be a man of your word."

Patriarch Li's face turned ugly.

Just at this moment, the Cangshan Sect Elder cupped his hands and said, "Sect Leader Jun has an extraordinary understanding of the Martial Dao. Ma has a difficult problem here and hopes you can provide some guidance."

"Please, go ahead."

Jun Changxiao said.

It had only taken him two minutes to comprehend the Nine Wave Sword Style, and there was still plenty of time left on the effect. If he continued to perform, it would certainly help establish prestige for himself and his sect.

The Cangshan Sect Elder said, "Ma has been practicing a certain Cultivation Method for years, but it becomes difficult to progress once I reach the fourth level. I hope Sect Leader Jun can offer some pointers."

The martial artists from various sects were shocked.

An elder of the fifth-rate Cangshan Sect, a genuine Martial Master expert, was asking for advice from a ninth-rate Sect Leader!

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would find it hard to believe!

Jun Changxiao said, "If Elder Ma is willing to recite the mantra of the Cultivation Method, this Seat can give it a try."

The Cangshan Sect Elder smiled and stood motionless on the spot.

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 really hope that one day I can join the Cangshan Sect and practice such a level of martial arts!"

Hearing this, everyone was filled with envy.

On the Starfall Continent, the Martial Dao Realm is important, but martial arts and Cultivation Methods are also vital. A martial technique that can be used for sound transmission at the Martial Master stage is truly excellent.

A moment later.

After learning the mantra and the Cultivation Method, Jun Changxiao said, "It's not a big problem."

The Cangshan Sect Elder was on the verge of a breakdown.

The Cultivation Method he spoke of was only at the Mortal-grade, yet after struggling to comprehend it for over ten years, he had only reached the fourth level. And yet, this guy actually replied that it was "not much of a problem"!

Jun Changxiao stood where he was, closed his eyes, and let the memorized Cultivation Method run and analyze frantically within his Sea of Consciousness.

"Elder Ma."

A moment later, Jun Changxiao leaned in to whisper in his ear.

The martial artists from the various sects could not hear the content clearly, but they could clearly see the expression on the face of the Cangshan Sect Elder: first stunned, then dumbfounded, then suddenly enlightened, and finally, ecstatic!

Jun Changxiao straightened up and said, "Following the advice I gave, if you go back and practice for a month or two, you should be able to break through to a higher level."

"Whoosh!"

The Cangshan Sect Elder cupped his hands in great excitement and said, "This Cultivation Method has troubled me for years. Today, hearing Sect Leader Jun's words is like a sudden awakening!"

Patriarch Li was dumbfounded.

Did that guy really solve a martial arts problem for Elder Ma?

Jun Changxiao said modestly, "Elder Ma was just too close to the problem to see it clearly. If it were someone else, they could have solved it just the same."

The Cangshan Sect Elder shook his head and said, "Without Sect Leader Jun's profound understanding of martial arts, it would have been absolutely impossible to solve my confusion."

To receive such high praise from Elder Ma, that guy must have some real ability!

Could it be...

Does there really exist someone in this world whose cultivation is mediocre, yet possesses an extremely high level of attainment in the understanding of martial arts?

The martial artists from the various sects secretly grumbled to themselves.

"Sect Leader Jun."

The Cangshan Sect Elder cupped his hands and said, "I have matters to attend to back at my sect. If we meet again in the future, I will certainly seek your guidance on martial arts!"

Having received pointers, he was surely impatient to return and go into seclusion, striving to break through the fifth level of his Cultivation Method and leap from Martial Master to Martial Grandmaster in one go!

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

The Cangshan Sect Elder did not hesitate further and left with his disciples, wishing he could return to his sect immediately to go into seclusion and contemplate.

Watching Elder Ma leave, a middle-aged man walked over with a beaming face and said, "Sect Leader Jun, I, Chen, also have a problem regarding martial arts. I hope you can provide some guidance."

"That is possible."

Jun Changxiao said, "However, you must pay one hundred taels first."

After all, the Cangshan Sect was a Fifth-rate sect; he gave Elder Ma face and provided guidance for free, but these Ninth-rate sects had to pay up.

"Of course, of course!"

The middle-aged man hurriedly handed over a silver note worth one hundred taels. In his view, if even Elder Ma's martial arts problem could be solved, spending one hundred taels was worth it!

Jun Changxiao took the silver note and said, "Please, speak."

Fearing that others might hear, the middle-aged man hurriedly leaned in and whispered the confusion he had regarding his martial arts.

Jun Changxiao used his Insight Ability to quickly analyze the Martial Technique the other party mentioned and whispered the correct advice.

"That's it!"

The middle-aged man slapped his forehead and said, "Why didn't I think of being flexible!"

"Many thanks for the guidance, Sect Leader Jun. I, Chen, will take my leave now!"

Seeing that guy leave in high spirits, even if the martial artists from the various sects were fools, they could see that the Iron Bone Sect leader had real talent and learning!

"Sect Leader Jun, I, Chang, have a problem, please..."

"One hundred taels."

"Of course, of course!"

The martial artist surnamed Chang hurriedly paid the money, and after receiving guidance, he left in high spirits.

Because of this, many martial artists who had encountered problems in their martial arts flocked over, including quite a few who had previously mocked Jun Changxiao.

No problem, no problem.

He remembered it all in his heart.

Want guidance? Sure, pay two hundred taels.

Although the martial artists who had mocked Jun Changxiao were devastated, they still paid up with aching hearts and each received a satisfactory answer.
