Perfection Realm Thunderous Saber Art!

He thought about his performance just now.

He could take Chen Hu's True Qi attack without falling behind, and flick away poison needles with a backhand.

"Eighteen years old, fifth level of True Qi Realm."

"Ordinary martial artists at your age are still stuck in the Body Tempering Realm. Your martial arts talent, tsk tsk, is truly excellent."

When the people around heard Su Fei speak.

They exploded even more. The surrounding Imperial Guards were like a lake into which a boulder had been thrown, instantly boiling.

"Did I hear that right? Fifth level of True Qi Realm? He's only eighteen."

It should be known that the Imperial Guard's Chief Banner usually had peak True Qi Realm cultivation.

Eighteen years old and fifth level of True Qi Realm, this was considered very good among the younger generation in Qingzhou Prefecture.

"No wonder he could lift the thousand-jin stone lock, no wonder he could easily cripple Chen Hu. So this person is actually a true martial arts genius."

"So it's possible that Su Fei's visits to the brothels are true. He's a martial arts genius, it's normal to have hobbies when tired from training."

Someone suddenly realized, and their gaze towards Su Fei completely changed, turning into reverence and envy.

"Chen Hu broke through to the True Qi Realm at twenty-two. Compared to Su Fei, he's nothing. Eighteenth level of True Qi Realm, breaking through to Xiantian is a sure thing."

"Even Mortal Transformation Realm is a possibility. Hiss, Su Fei's talent is actually this terrifying."

"I knew Su Fei was so powerful, it turns out he was hiding it so deeply. Those who called him trash before, do you know how powerful Su Fei is now?"

"I think Su Fei was being low-key before, not wanting others to know his strength. When Chen Hu provoked him repeatedly on the stage, he couldn't help but unleash his power and cripple Chen Hu."

"I stand with Brother Su in this match."

Those martial artists who had been mocking Su Fei with Chen Hu were now shrinking their necks, not daring to speak, for fear that Su Fei would hold a grudge.

They never imagined that this dissolute young master they had mocked was actually a martial arts genius who had been hiding his strength.

Hearing the discussions from below, Captain Li was even more satisfied with Su Fei.

Standing on the stage, he directly announced.

"From today onwards, Su Fei joins the Imperial Guard. Due to his exceptional talent, this captain bestows upon him the position of Imperial Guard Squad Leader, under my command."

A burst of applause immediately erupted from below.

"Congratulations to Captain Li for gaining a talented subordinate."

"Congratulations to Squad Leader Su."

Su Fei cupped his hands and bowed to Captain Li.

"Your subordinate Su Fei thanks Captain Li for the promotion."

He knew that from this moment on, he had officially joined the Imperial Guard and become a Squad Leader.

The monthly salary was ten taels of silver.

Captain Chen's threat still existed, but with the system in hand, a mere Captain of Xiantian Realm.

There was nothing to fear.

He would soon surpass him.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission 'Imperial Guard Entry Test', reward obtained: Martial Art Thunderous Saber Art, thirty years of cultivation. Do you wish to extract now?]

The system's prompt sounded in his mind, and Su Fei's lips curved slightly.

With the Thunderous Saber Art and thirty years of cultivation, his strength would surge again.

Captain Li continued to speak.

"Su Fei, I'll be hosting tonight. We'll go to Ronghua Tower for drinks to celebrate your joining the Imperial Guard."

"I'll also introduce you to other Squad Leaders."

Su Fei, having lived two lives, immediately reacted.

"How dare I trouble you, sir. This treat should be on me."

As night fell, the entrance to the main city district was bustling with traffic, and the interior was brightly lit.

In the private room on the second floor, two round tables were filled with various delicacies. Braised pork knuckles glistened with oil, and steamed perch exuded a fragrant aroma.

There were also various hot and cold dishes, a mix of meat and vegetables.

Pots of Daughter Red were brought to the table by servants, and wine was poured into cups.

Captain Ling sat at the head of the table, with Su Fei to his left and several more senior Squad Leaders to his right.

About ten Imperial Guard Squad Leaders were seated at the two tables.

Captain Ling picked up his wine glass, stood up, and looked around.

"Come, everyone, raise your glasses."

"Today, I'm introducing a new brother to our ranks, Su Fei, a young genius with excellent martial arts talent. He just passed the entry test and has been appointed Squad Leader."

Everyone raised their glasses, their gazes falling squarely on Su Fei.

The events of the training grounds earlier that day had already spread throughout the Imperial Guard. No one dared to underestimate this eighteen-year-old prodigy who had reached the True Qi Realm with five vital organs.

He was now the youngest Squad Leader in the Qingzhou Prefecture's Imperial Guard Thousand Households Office.

"Greetings, Squad Leader Su."

"Young Brother Su is talented and promising. I hope you'll guide me more in the future."

"General Su Zhan was kind to me back then. Now that Su Fei has joined, we're all family."

"If you encounter any difficulties, please don't hesitate to speak up, Little Brother Su."

Su Fei raised his cup and stood, a humble expression on his face.

"Everyone, I'm new to the Imperial Guard and don't understand many of the rules. I'll need your guidance in the future."

Captain Ling chuckled.

"Su Fei, you don't need to be so reserved. We in the Imperial Guard don't stand on ceremony; we only care about ability."

"I saw your performance in the training grounds today. You've got guts. Chen Zhenyu always acts so arrogantly because he's from the Chen Family and has powerful backing. It's about time someone put him in his place."

As he spoke, a buzz of discussion erupted at the table.

Clearly, many harbored grievances against Captain Chen.

The drinking continued until past midnight before they finally dispersed.

As the night deepened, the streets of Qingzhou Prefecture shed their daytime hustle and bustle, with only scattered lights remaining.

Su Fei declined the invitations from several Squad Leaders to visit entertainment houses and returned home alone under the moonlight.

As soon as he stepped into his small courtyard, Su Fei couldn't wait and mentally recited to the system.

"Extract Thunderous Saber Art and thirty years of cultivation!"

[Extracting rewards, obtained martial art Thunderous Saber Art (Beginner Level), thirty years of cultivation]

In an instant, countless saber move diagrams flooded Su Fei's mind.

They transformed into a small figure practicing the Thunderous Saber Art.

At times, it was like a sudden clap of thunder, the saber techniques swift and domineering.

At times, it was like a fierce wind sweeping the ground, saber energy crisscrossing.

He happened to be in need of a saber art to practice.

As a member of the Imperial Guard, he should know how to wield a saber art.

"System, upgrade Thunderous Saber Art!"

[Year 1: You diligently studied the Thunderous Saber Art day and night, swinging your saber a thousand times daily, thoroughly mastering the basic moves of the Thunderous Saber Art!]
[Year 5: You practiced your saber in a torrential downpour, comprehending the essence of the Thunderous Saber Art. Your saber speed increased by 30%, and the Thunderous Saber Art broke through to Minor Accomplishment!]
[Year 13: You achieved enlightenment on a stormy night, integrating a trace of heavenly thunder power into your saber techniques. The Thunderous Saber Art broke through to Major Accomplishment!]
[Year 30: You achieved complete mastery, your saber moving with your will, your intent merging with the thunder. The Thunderous Saber Art broke through to the Perfected Realm!]
[Calculating cultivation results...]

Su Fei subconsciously struck a saber-holding pose, his fingers seemingly gripping an invisible long saber.

He could clearly feel that the Thunderous Saber Art had merged with his being. As long as he had a saber in hand, he could unleash the Perfected Realm Thunderous Saber Art at any time.
