Grasping Martial Arts

Lu Jun returned to his room and sat cross-legged, holding the martial arts manuals he had just acquired.

" 'Fierce Tiger Blade Art', 'Cloud Treading Steps', let's see how they work."

Text once again appeared before Lu Jun's eyes.

[Demon Essence: 7300]

[Through Demon Essence, you can comprehend Cultivation Methods and Martial Arts, and improve their realms.]

[Fierce Tiger Blade Art (Uninitiated)]

[Cloud Treading Steps (Uninitiated)]

The two sets of martial arts, one focusing on blade techniques and the other on movement, complemented each other well.

Currently, to improve the 'River Lord Subdues the Flood Dragon Art', he still needed ten thousand Demon Essence. Lu Jun estimated he would have to kill twenty-three ordinary demons to gather enough.

Instead of waiting, it was better to improve what he could first and maximize his combat power as much as possible.

With that thought, Lu Jun no longer hesitated and began to gradually input Demon Essence into the 'Fierce Tiger Blade Art' before him.

Suddenly, Lu Jun's consciousness became hazy, and he found himself in an unfamiliar place.

[As a Law Seeker who has cultivated the 'River Lord Subdues the Flood Dragon Art', your comprehension is incredibly heaven-defying compared to ordinary martial artists. Ordinary martial arts are quite simple for you.]

[In just over a month, you have cultivated this 'Fierce Tiger Blade Art' to the Minor Accomplishment stage. When channeling True Qi to concentrate it on the blade's edge, a fierce tiger's roaring phantom image is often unleashed.]

[In half a year, due to your diligent efforts rewarded by the Heavenly Dao and your astonishing innate talent, your 'Fierce Tiger Blade Art' has reached the Major Accomplishment level, equivalent to seven or eight years of arduous training for an ordinary martial artist. Your blade energy is fierce and robust, and each casual slash carries the desperate will of a fierce tiger's final struggle.]

[In two years, you have finally cultivated the blade technique to Perfection. This blade art has been completely mastered by you. However, you vaguely feel that Perfection is not the end of this blade art; rather, it is more like a beginning. In the depths of your being, you have touched upon a trace of the 'Dao'.]

"Hoo..."

Lu Jun suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze blazing, as if a ferocious tiger was hidden within them.

"This is martial arts comprehension... it's like a fleeting dream..."

Lu Jun felt as if he had dreamt. In the dream, he had swung his blade day after day, practicing the 'Fierce Tiger Blade Art', and finally, in a year and a half, he had completely cultivated this martial art to the Perfection realm.

Text reappeared before his eyes.

[Demon Essence: 5000]

[Fierce Tiger Blade Art (Perfection)]

[Cloud Treading Steps (Uninitiated)]

"A single comprehension session cost nearly two thousand three hundred Demon Essence..." Lu Jun couldn't help but sigh, "As expected, wealth fuels martial arts. Training really is a money pit!"

However, Lu Jun also felt that he had become more than a little stronger, especially in his blade techniques.

Lu Jun glanced lightly at the 'Zhaoming' saber, a gift from Old Man Yun, which was always placed beside him.

After a gentle rub, Lu Jun's eyes grew even hotter, and he even felt the urge to pick it up and unleash a slash right now.

But he suppressed this thought.

Next, Lu Jun, now familiar with the process, invested Demon Essence into the second movement technique, 'Cloud Treading Steps'.

[As a Law Seeker, you possess the Spiritual Power of Soaring Wind. Wind-based Spiritual Powers inherently reduce the difficulty of cultivating this 'Cloud Treading Steps' for you.]

[In just half a month, you have cultivated this movement technique to the Minor Accomplishment stage. Your steps are swift as the wind, several times faster than simply moving with the wind, and consume less True Qi.]

[In the blink of an eye, a year has passed, and you have successfully cultivated this movement technique to Major Accomplishment. You can now freely walk on air, your movements like an illusion.]

[Another year has passed, and your 'Cloud Treading Steps' has been cultivated to Perfection, becoming your life's instinct. Every swift movement and stationary pose displays an ethereal grace.]

"This time, it only cost one thousand five hundred Demon Essence," Lu Jun raised an eyebrow.

Cannot find the book title, you can try searching for the author, perhaps the name has changed!

Time flew by, and it was finally time for the Demon Slaying Division to recruit members and conduct official rank assessments.

On a spacious assessment ground behind the Demon Slaying Division's mountain.

Dozens of youths stood ready, all of them young talents from numerous demon-slaying families or Law Seeker families.

The assessment ground buzzed with activity.

The chief examiner this time was Mo Jinyi, and the proctor was Mo Jinyi's son, Mo Lou.

Mo Jinyi greatly enjoyed being the chief examiner for the Demon Slaying Division's official rank assessments. The reason was simple: it allowed him to amass wealth and enrich his personal coffers.

Therefore, he was almost always the one conducting the annual official rank assessments.

Mo Jinyi stood on a high platform, looking at the list of participants for today's test, and grinned as he scanned the names of the many contestants.

"Li Baoyu, contributed five taels of gold."

"Fang Yiming, contributed the Glazed Lamp treasure."

"Zhong Xiuming, contributed the Falling Blossom Stone treasure."

"..."

Mo Jinyi was beaming. Muttering to himself, he instructed his son beside him, "Later, you need to take good care of Fang Yiming and Zhong Xiuming. These two fine lads, if necessary, you can step in to help them pass the test."

Mo Lou was speechless and nodded listlessly.

When he saw the last line.

Mo Jinyi raised an eyebrow.

"Lu Jun didn't offer any treasure..."

Mo Jinyi, not quite believing it, even asked Mo Lou, "Lu Jun didn't give anything at all?"

Mo Lou nodded, "He didn't give a cent. It seems he was the only one who didn't give anything..."

Mo Jinyi scratched his head, a little displeased.

"Lu Jun really doesn't know any better. Don't help him later, let him test on his own!"

Mo Lou's eyes darted around, coming up with a bad idea. "Should we increase the difficulty for him? I heard Senior Yun say he seems very powerful."

Mo Jinyi flicked Mo Lou's forehead, angrily saying, "Increase the difficulty for what? Others give money, and we just help them a bit. This person didn't give money, so we just ignore him. If someone doesn't bribe you, you still go after them? You haven't learned a bit of your old man's upright and noble demeanor."

Mo Lou repeatedly shook his head, "No, Dad, I heard Senior Yun say he's very powerful, and I wanted to see his strength."

"What's so great about that? Come help your old man count money!"

"Got it."

At this moment, Lu Jun, led by Li Tuo, successfully arrived at the back mountain's martial arts arena. The arena was very large, about the size of seven or eight football fields.

"You can do it! There's definitely no problem."

"You're so capable, maybe you'll get promoted in this assessment and become a Bronze Robe Envoy directly..." Li Tuo cheered Lu Jun on, making a fist.

Lu Jun nodded and walked into the arena.

There weren't many people on the field, basically only about twenty.

Most of them were Law Seekers, with a small number of martial artists.

When everyone saw Lu Jun enter, they cast sideways glances. Upon realizing they didn't recognize him, they didn't pay much attention.
