Five Elements Skin Refining Method, Hurricane Saber Technique

Inside the Martial Arts Room.

Lu Chuan carefully read through the contents of the two emails, diligently studying the Five Elements Skin Refining Method and the Hurricane Saber Technique.

An hour passed like this.

Only then did Lu Chuan log out of the Virtual Network and begin cultivating the Five Elements Skin Refining Method.

As an advanced method derived from the Five Elements Stance Training, the Five Elements Skin Refining Method and the Five Elements Stance Training came from the same root, sharing many similarities.

It was simply far more complex than the Five Elements Stance Training.

There were eighty-one forms in total. Calm and composed, Lu Chuan brought the Cultivation Methods of the Five Elements Skin Refining Method to mind.

His body followed his thoughts. Form after form, he actually began to enter a better state.

[Five Elements Skin Refining Method +1]

[Five Elements Skin Refining Method +3]

[Five Elements Skin Refining Method +5]

Inside the Martial Arts Room, Lu Chuan practiced the Five Elements Skin Refining Method over and over, every move precise and methodical.

At the beginning, he could not successfully perform all eighty-one forms.

He could only practice the first seventy-two forms.

But as he repeated the practice again and again, his progress grew faster, and everything became increasingly Proficient.

At the same time, the Attribute Panel recorded the Five Elements Skin Refining Method, and its proficiency rose at breakneck speed.

Just like that, Lu Chuan cultivated in the Martial Arts Room for more than half a day.

He even forgot to eat lunch.

It was not until night fell that he finally stopped.

"Phew..."

After slowly breathing out a mouthful of stale air, With a movement of his mind, Lu Chuan turned his attention to the Attribute Panel.

[Name: Lu Chuan]

[Martial Dao: Ninth Rank Skin Refining Realm (Peak)]

[Mental Strength: Mortal Grade High Rank]

[Martial Arts: Five Elements Skin Refining Method (Beginner, 398/2000), Hurricane Saber Technique (Beginner, 0/2000), Savage Elephant Skin Refining Method (Limit Break—Savage Elephant Giant Strength), Five Elements Stance Training (Limit Break—Fierce Tiger Intent), Basic Archery (Limit Break—Rapid Speed)]

With a sweep of his gaze, a rich smile immediately appeared on Lu Chuan's face.

After one day of cultivation, his proficiency had increased by nearly four hundred points. At this rate, he would be able to reach Perfection in the Five Elements Skin Refining Method within a month at most.

"No, I can shorten that time. I still have two White Jade Dragon Rock Fruits on me. I naturally can't take those out to sell; it's better to consume them myself."

Lu Chuan muttered, "It's getting late. I should head back for today, or Mother and Younger Sister will probably be worried sick waiting."

With that thought in mind, Lu Chuan immediately left the Martial Arts Room.

He had originally planned to find He Mingkong and Ning Yang to let them know, but upon second thought, he decided against it.

He Mingkong was not one to fuss over trivial formalities, so he might not appreciate such empty courtesies. As for Ning Yang, he should still be handling matters at the moment, so there was no need to disturb him.

Lu Chuan then left Kunlun Martial Arts School on his own.

At the same time!

Within Kunlun Martial Arts School, in the study of the courtyard where He Mingkong lived.

"Are you certain this is true?"

He Mingkong was looking solemnly at Ning Yang as he asked in a deep voice, "This matter must be investigated thoroughly. Otherwise, if anything goes wrong, the consequences will be unthinkable."

"There's no mistake. I know how serious this is, so after receiving the information, I did not come to find you immediately. Instead, I went to verify it in person. Everything I just told you was something I saw with my own eyes. There can be no mistake."

Ning Yang immediately shook his head. "In fact, I was stunned at the time too. How could the Liang Family dare do something like this?"

"Yes! How could they dare?"

He Mingkong nodded slightly, his gaze sharp as a blade. "Sacrificing to an Evil God and colluding with Demon Ghosts—those are grave crimes. Either one alone would be enough to condemn them to eternal damnation and wipe out their entire family.

Yet they knew full well the risks involved and still did it.

And they did it so brazenly. Who exactly gave them the courage? Or rather, where did they get such confidence?"

"Master, what should we do now? Should we notify the authorities?" Ning Yang asked in a deep voice.

"No need to interfere!"

He Mingkong shook his head, then sneered. "Do you think the authorities are useless? Even you have learned of this news—would the Demon Suppressing Division possibly not know? Since they have not acted, there are only two possibilities.

Either they fear striking the rat and breaking the vase, or they want to cast a long line to catch a big fish.

No matter which it is, it is not something you and I can involve ourselves in..."

"But among those being sacrificed are the family members of our martial arts school's disciples." Ning Yang said in a deep voice, "If we do not step forward, I fear it will chill everyone's hearts."

"We naturally need to make our stance clear. Do this... take some people and file a report. Don't mention the Liang Family; simply report it as a missing-person case."

He Mingkong said in a deep voice, "As for what comes next, let it proceed according to the normal process. We do not need to push things too hard. Just let matters develop naturally.

As for those disciples, find a way to reassure them.

And keep an eye on them. Do not let them do anything foolish. The Liang Family is now a mad dog that bites whoever it catches. They will not be easy to deal with."

"Understood!"

Ning Yang nodded and turned, preparing to leave.

At that moment, He Mingkong asked in a deep voice, "How is your junior brother doing today? Have all the arrangements been made?"

"Everything has been arranged. I gave him No. 007 Martial Arts Room."

Ning Yang smiled faintly. "Junior Brother is very hardworking. He has been cultivating in the Martial Arts Room the entire time."

"Good!"

He Mingkong nodded. "Keep a closer eye on him during this period, and help him out more. Your junior brother has limitless potential; his future is beyond measure.

If you build a good relationship with him in advance, he will be of great help to you in the future..."

"Master seems to think very highly of him."

Ning Yang raised his brows and asked with a smile, "Yesterday, you went to see Junior Brother. Did you discover something else?"

"Don't ask about that. In any case, just show him more concern."

He Mingkong waved a hand and did not reveal too much about Lu Chuan. It was not that he did not trust Ning Yang, but because even he himself could not see through Lu Chuan.

He knew that this bargain disciple he had taken in was far from ordinary. Lu Chuan most likely possessed some tremendous fortuitous opportunity.

There were many things that even He Mingkong could not see through, like trying to view flowers through the mist.

It was precisely because of this that He Mingkong became even more convinced that Lu Chuan was destined for a bright future.

After all, a poor commoner disciple who had never enjoyed any Cultivation Resources and did not even possess a decent cultivation technique had, after Martial Arts Reaching Rank, in such a short time Raised to the point where he could kill a Demonic Martial Artist.

Even the weakest Demonic Martial Artist was still comparable to an Eighth Rank Bone Quenching Realm expert.

Yet Lu Chuan had only been Ninth Rank at the time, but he could kill an Eighth Rank opponent in return.

This was no longer something that could be described by talent alone.

In fact, it was precisely for this reason that He Mingkong had gone with the flow and accepted Lu Chuan as his disciple. He had even gifted Lu Chuan a Tier 3 Divine Weapon, the Blood Shadow Battle Saber, without batting an eye.

Did they really think he had too much money to spend?

As the Hall Master of Kunlun Martial Arts School, he indeed possessed quite a few resources, but not so many that he could scatter money around as he pleased.
