Fierce Wind Sword Intent, Urging Marriage

"Sorry, Senior Brother Lu, for making you wait!"

Li Youtian jogged out from inside the escort agency.

Lu Changfeng reached out and gently patted Li Youtian's shoulder.

Lu Changfeng, who was now nearly one meter ninety-eight tall, made the gesture as if an adult were patting a child's shoulder.

Copy complete.

Lu Changfeng withdrew his hand: "How is it? Any news recently?"

Lu Changfeng had a legitimate reason for finding Li Youtian.

It was because escort agencies were well-informed.

The world was chaotic now, and helping Li Youtian gather information would provide him with certain benefits.

Li Youtian was naturally very willing.

"Any news lately?" Lu Changfeng asked.

The act had to be complete.

Unexpectedly, Li Youtian provided an explosive piece of news.

Li Youtian spoke in a low voice: "Senior Brother Lu, I heard that the Xuanming Cult is going to make a move on Fengcheng!"

Xuanming Cult?

Lu Changfeng pondered for a moment and asked: "Is it the Xuanming Cult from Qingshan Prefecture?"

"Exactly!"

"The Xuanming Cult occupies nine cities in Qingshan Prefecture, and all the areas bordering Yunyang Prefecture are occupied by the Xuanming Cult."

"Now, we escorts are not allowed to enter Qingshan Prefecture's territory. There's no way around it, even if we try to detour. The Xuanming Cult sends troops to patrol! If they catch anyone, they'll hang them up and slaughter them like pigs!"

"Our Chief Escort speculates that the Xuanming Cult wants to make a move on our Yunyang Prefecture. To avoid leaks and expose their troop movements, they've blocked the routes!"

"Fengcheng is right on the border with Qingshan Prefecture. If the Xuanming Cult really makes a move, we'll definitely be the first to suffer!"

Lu Changfeng nodded slightly. What Li Youtian said was not impossible.

It seemed he really needed to make plans in advance.

Thinking from their perspective, with the three sects in Qingshan Prefecture restraining each other, if Lu Changfeng were one of the three sects, he might indeed choose to find an opportunity to expand outwards and break the stalemate.

"Thank you for the news."

Lu Changfeng tossed a piece of loose silver to Li Youtian.

Li Youtian took the silver and happily returned to the escort agency, thinking that listening to and remembering the words of powerful people like the Chief Escort was indeed useful and could even earn him money!

Lu Changfeng returned to the martial arts school.

Back in his bedroom within the martial arts school, Lu Changfeng began fusing his [Swordsmanship] talents.

"Fuse for me!"

As Lu Changfeng silently chanted.

Four [Swordsmanship] talents quickly disappeared, replaced by a new talent.

High-grade talent [Sword Master].

As soon as this talent formed.

Lu Changfeng's mind naturally flashed through all the intricacies of the Gale Sword Technique.

A moment later.

A sharp, wind-like aura suddenly shot out from Lu Changfeng's body.

"This is... Sword Intent!"

"I've comprehended Fierce Wind Sword Intent!"

Lu Changfeng brought up his status panel to check.

As expected, it had changed!

Name: Lu Changfeng

Bone Structure: Grade A Upper

Talents: High-grade talent [Sword Master], Mid-grade talent [Light Body Technique]

Realm: Blood Tempering Fourth Level

Blood Tempering Cultivation Technique: [Mount Le's Wrathful Vajra] Minor Accomplishment

Martial Arts: [Gale Sword Technique] Perfection, [Blood Burst Steps] Great Accomplishment, [Antelope Dodge Method] Great Accomplishment

Martial Arts Insight: Fierce Wind Sword Intent (Primary Sword Intent) (Sword technique power increased by 50%)

Replication Interval: 49 days.

Because the [Gale Sword Technique] itself was not a particularly profound martial art, the sword intent condensed was only at the most basic level.

This also proves from the side how high Lu Changfeng's sword dao talent is, to be able to condense sword intent with such a common sword technique!

Although Fierce Wind Sword Intent is a beginner-level sword intent, it is also Martial Arts Insight!

The combat power increase is also extremely terrifying, and most importantly, the 50% increase in sword technique power consumes nothing.

This is different from activating the ultimate moves of [Gale Sword Technique], Fierce Wind Storm, or Changle Divine Palm, which require a large amount of stamina to activate.

Sword intent is equivalent to a permanent passive BUFF with no consumption.

"It was worth it to use so many replication opportunities to fuse the High-grade Swordplay Talent this time."

Feeling the Fierce Wind Sword Intent that could be mobilized at any time within his body, Lu Changfeng finally had a trump card of his own.

He wanted to test the power of his trump card.

Lu Changfeng, holding the Treasure Grade Longsword 'Autumn Water', darted out of the city to a secluded wilderness.

"Fierce Wind Storm!"

Lu Changfeng's Treasure Grade Longsword stabbed out four swords like lightning within a breath.

Bang!

A half-man-tall boulder in front of Lu Changfeng, having received four swords in rapid succession, suddenly shattered.

"Next, I'll use sword intent."

Taking a slight breath, Lu Changfeng activated Fierce Wind Storm again!

With the enhancement of Fierce Wind Sword Intent, Lu Changfeng stabbed out eight swords within a single breath!

Boom!

Another half-man-tall boulder actually exploded after a short burst of eight swords!

"Amazing."

Lu Changfeng thought to himself.

Then he channeled his sword intent and performed his usual Sword Move.

He found that both his speed and power had greatly increased.

It was equivalent to each ordinary move and stance being three points stronger than a full-power strike without activating sword intent.

"With sword intent, I should be able to defeat an ordinary Blood Tempering Fifth Level opponent."

Lu Changfeng concluded.

Lu Changfeng destroyed the traces at the scene and returned to the martial arts school with satisfaction.

Inside Changle Martial Arts School.

More than ten registered disciples were practicing the Mount Le's Wrathful Vajra.

The remaining registered disciples had all entered the Blood Tempering Realm and naturally transitioned from the Changle Palm Technique to the Mount Le's Wrathful Vajra.

All of them were personally taught by Master Zhang Desheng.

Chun Zhu, wearing a training outfit, was also practicing among them. Her tall stature added more feminine charm.

The Mount Le's Wrathful Vajra was still too difficult for some disciples with poor aptitude. From time to time, someone would run out of strength halfway through and collapse on the ground to rest.

Lu Changfeng watched the registered disciples practice from the side, occasionally offering a few words of guidance and encouragement.

Zhang Desheng appeared on the training ground at some point, brought a chair, and watched his disciples cultivate.

"Cough, cough, cough."

Zhang Desheng let out a violent dry cough. Lu Changfeng walked over and gently patted Zhang Desheng's back.

Zhang Desheng had lost a lot of weight, and even the muscles on his back had atrophied.

His breath was extremely weak, and he could fall from the Martial Master Realm at any moment.

Lu Changfeng knew that his Master probably didn't have much time left to live.

What would happen to the martial arts school after Master left? Lu Changfeng was making plans in his heart.

"Changfeng, when are you and Chun Zhu getting married?" Zhang Desheng suddenly asked out of the blue.

Lu Changfeng scratched his head: "There's no rush for that, is there? I think things are good as they are now."

Chun Zhu, who was practicing in the distance, trembled upon hearing this. Disappointment showed on her face, which was turned away from Lu Changfeng.

"No rush? Wouldn't it be great to have a child early?" Zhang Desheng said.

Lu Changfeng replied: "A child? I haven't thought about having children. I don't even have a stable foundation for myself. Bringing a child into this world isn't a good thing. Moreover, a child is also a weakness. I don't want to create a vulnerability for myself."

Zhang Desheng's persuasion was fruitless. He shook his head: "I don't understand the thoughts of you young people nowadays!"

Zhang Desheng got up and staggered towards his small courtyard.

"Master, shall I help you?"

"No need, I can still walk!" Zhang Desheng shouted with full of vigor.
