So it is.

Lu Changfeng's cultivation has changed again.

While practicing the Heavenly Body Tempering Blade Technique daily, he interspersed it with practicing the Swift Sword and Gale Sword Technique.

With Lu Changfeng's incredible talent, in just a few days, both sword techniques had reached minor completion.

A few more days passed, and they both reached major completion.

In less than a month, both sword techniques were perfected.

Even Zhao Xingtian was stunned by Lu Changfeng. He believed that in the Blood Tempering Realm, he couldn't have cultivated two sword techniques to perfection simultaneously in just over twenty days.

Could this Lu Ren's sword talent be even greater than his?

The Swift Sword and Gale Sword Technique were both collected by the Wang Family.

They were even more outstanding than the Gale Sword Technique Liu Jinwen had given Lu Changfeng previously.

After cultivating both sword techniques to perfection, Lu Changfeng gained some insights but still lacked some elements for fusion.

Thus, Lu Changfeng once again asked Zhao Xingtian to be his sparring partner.

Lu Changfeng attempted, during his spar with Zhao Xingtian, to extract the essence of the three sword techniques and create his own sword technique and sword intent.

This move proved to be very effective.

As Lu Changfeng sparred with Zhao Xingtian, his three sword talent attributes came into play simultaneously.

Swordsman allowed Lu Changfeng to understand the principles of sword techniques.

Sword Heart allowed Lu Changfeng to face his own sword dao heart directly.

Sword Vein made the channels of sword techniques and sword intent appear incredibly clear in Lu Changfeng's mind.

Thus, with Zhao Xingtian's assistance, he was surprised to discover that in just three days, Lu Changfeng had already formed the prototype of a new sword technique by merging the three sword techniques.

Another five days passed.

Lu Changfeng could now switch moves with ease using his new sword technique. Lu Changfeng named it the Storm Sword Technique.

Upon its execution, the terrifying sword speed and power of the Storm Sword Technique left Zhao Xingtian in awe.

This was definitely one of the strongest Blood Tempering Realm sword techniques he had ever seen!

Another ten days passed.

One day, as Lu Changfeng furiously attacked Zhao Xingtian with the Storm Sword Technique, the three sword talent attributes on his body finally resonated.

Slight traces of pale green energy slowly enveloped Lu Changfeng's body.

A brand new Storm Sword Intent was naturally unleashed!

"Storm Sword Intent, Blade Storm!"

Lu Changfeng's Autumn Water Longsword suddenly unleashed eighteen strikes within a single breath!

To Black Ox, who was watching from the side, it looked as if Lu Changfeng had unleashed a blade storm, with overlapping sword shadows forming a tempest that attacked Zhao Xingtian!

"Impressive!"

Zhao Xingtian didn't dare to be careless and slightly circulated his internal energy.

"Starlight Sword Shield!"

A pale blue sword shield formed in front of Zhao Xingtian, just managing to block Lu Changfeng's terrifying blade storm.

Facing a Blood Tempering Realm swordsman, he, Zhao Xingtian, was forced to use his internal energy and a secret sword technique move.

This made Zhao Xingtian extremely ashamed, and at the same time, he was shocked by Lu Changfeng, having to admit that this guy's sword talent surpassed his own.

"Heh heh."

Lu Changfeng panted slightly.

That move, Blade Storm, had consumed a lot of his stamina.

Ten strikes per breath versus eighteen strikes per breath. It seemed like only a difference of eight strikes.

In reality, each additional strike represented a qualitative change.

It was like a 100-meter sprint; a tiny difference could mean an eternal gap.

Eighteen strikes not only increased the quantity but also greatly enhanced the power of each strike due to the increased speed.

Without the assistance of the newly promoted Storm Sword Intent, Lu Changfeng wouldn't have been able to achieve this, even if he had advanced to the Muscle Tendon Realm.

Now, Lu Changfeng's Blade Storm could pose a fatal threat to Muscle Tendon Realm martial artists.

Lu Changfeng looked at his own body.

When fully channeling the Storm Sword Intent, a faint cyan light would surround his body.

This was solidified Sword Intent!

Lu Changfeng's mind stirred, and his Sword Intent receded, the cyan light vanishing.

Lu Changfeng opened the interface.

Name: Lu Changfeng

Bone Structure: Grade A Upper, Grade A Mid x3

Talent: High-grade Talent [Swordsman], High-grade Talent [Sword Heart], High-grade Talent [Sword Vein], High-grade Talent [Flying Swallow], High-grade Talent [Fist Martial], High-grade Talent [Blade Supremacy], Low-grade Talent [Palm Technique].

Martial Arts Experience: Storm Sword Intent (Intermediate Sword Intent) (Sword technique power increased by 150%), Falling Leaf Saber Intent (Beginner Saber Intent) (Saber technique power increased by 55%).

Replication Cooldown: 3 days.

Seeing the Storm Sword Intent on the interface change to Intermediate Sword Intent.

Lu Changfeng finally couldn't help but laugh heartily.

"I succeeded, haha!"

This was the first time Lu Changfeng had improved his strength through his own actions!

This joy far surpassed the thrill of unearned gains when replicating Bone Structure talents.

Lu Changfeng's hard work over these past few days had yielded rich rewards.

"Sword Intent that is self-comprehended is indeed much stronger than comprehending the Sword Intent of predecessors," Zhao Xingtian sighed from the side.

"However, to go further, more effort is also required," Zhao Xingtian added.

He had sect inheritance, and Starlight Sword Intent was just the beginning. With his talent and the cultivation techniques prepared by the sect, he would eventually forge stronger Sword Intent.

As for Lu Changfeng, to advance further, he would have to create his own Sword Intent again.

In the near future, after Lu Changfeng advanced to the Muscle Tendon Realm, his body would gain internal energy, and his sword techniques would inevitably need significant changes.

Sword techniques with and without internal energy were completely different.

However, Zhao Xingtian felt that with Lu Changfeng's talent, this should not have a significant impact on him.

The difficult part was the breakthrough in Sword Intent again.

Zhao Xingtian's advice gradually calmed Lu Changfeng's excited mood.

"One step at a time, there's always a way." Lu Changfeng said with a resolute expression.

In reality, he thought, I just need one more High-grade Sword technique talent to fuse into a Super-grade talent.

With a stronger Super-grade Sword technique talent, elevating the Storm Sword Intent to the Advanced Sword Intent level should not be difficult.

"As expected of Master's sworn friend," Zhao Xingtian said.

Lu Changfeng: "..."

"Let's go out for a drink." Having just condensed Intermediate Sword Intent, Lu Changfeng felt drained, very relaxed, but also inexplicably empty.

He needed to accumulate some worldly experiences in his heart again.

It was said that Sword Intent was the materialization of a person's inner spiritual power, and Lu Changfeng now firmly believed it.

"Drinking?" Zhao Xingtian frowned.

"Yes, are you scared?"

"It's not fear. If you want to go, then let's go."

"Alright, Black Ox, stop practicing your fists. Let's go out for a good meal, Master's treating!"

Black Ox's eyes lit up. He quickly changed his clothes, and the three of them left the Wang Manor.

Not long after.

In a private room on the top floor of Fragrant Tower, Lu Changfeng and Zhao Xingtian sat opposite each other, with Black Ox on the side.

The three of them looked out at the scenery of Fengcheng outside the window, with a table full of fine wine and delicacies.

"Cheers!"

Lu Changfeng drank it all in one go.

Zhao Xingtian frowned, but still followed Lu Changfeng's example and drank it all in one go.

Afterward, Lu Changfeng saw Zhao Xingtian's neck turn red, gradually spreading upwards, his entire face becoming like a monkey's red backside!

"No internal energy to sober up!" Lu Changfeng quickly added.

Zhao Xingtian opened his mouth, then slumped onto the table with a thud, his snores sounding evenly.

Lu Changfeng and Black Ox exchanged glances. This guy, with such great strength, turned out to be a lightweight!

Rest assured, the manuscript already has fifty chapters. If it's released on June 1st, I'll release a hundred chapters in one go~
