Today was the third day of cultivating Wandering Steps.
Huff! Jiang Liu let out a long breath, then stood up and walked towards the room.
Looking at the clean and tidy room, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the handyman disciples of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall. They were very responsible in their work.
This shows that the Fallen Blossom Gang's treatment of disciples with cultivation talent is indeed good. They only need to cultivate diligently.
There's no need to worry about anything else. Those with outstanding talent will also receive additional rewards.
The only strict requirement for new apprentices is that they are not allowed to wander around casually when they have nothing to do. Other than that, there are no mandatory requirements.
Besides! Even if the apprentices wanted to wander around, they wouldn't have the time. They would rather practice a few more rounds of fist techniques. After all, if you don't improve, you will be overtaken by others. If you don't pass the assessment, you will be eliminated.
If you are eliminated, you will have to sell yourself to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall as a handyman. The Fallen Blossom Hall will let you experience what it means to be worlds apart.
Jiang Liu routinely meditated twice a day, circulating the Blood Essence moving technique.
The next day, morning.
Jiang Liu slowly woke up. After washing up, he called Wang Zhuang to the apprentice square.
Some people were already practicing Wandering Steps and fist techniques on the square.
Everyone is working so hard! Jiang Liu thought.
Jiang Liu and Wang Zhuang each began to cultivate.
Jiang Liu started warming up with Wandering Steps, using Wang Zhuang as an imaginary enemy, moving back and forth according to the footwork of Wandering Steps.
When he had run through Wandering Steps twice, the Auxiliary System responded.
Auxiliary System: Name: Jiang Liu Realm: Body Refinement (Bone Forging 3.2/206) Medicine Refinement (Entry Level 37/100) Five Elements Fist (Minor Accomplishment 163/300) Wandering Steps (Entry Level 0/300)
Hiss! Jiang Liu gasped when he saw it! This is a bit outrageous! The entry-level proficiency requirement for Wandering Steps is the same as the minor accomplishment of Five Elements Fist. Wouldn't it be even more difficult to reach great accomplishment?
It seems I can only cultivate even harder. Fortunately, I have now reached the entry level, so it should be enough for now.
Then, looking at those practicing Wandering Steps on the square, not even one had reached the entry level. It seems my talent is still the best, Jiang Liu couldn't help but feel secretly pleased.
Bah! Don't even think about it! If it weren't for the Auxiliary System, would you have entered so quickly? Others practice once and at most become familiar with some footwork and positioning, but you are directly pulling the progress bar. How dare you boast about having talent? It's just that the Auxiliary System won't speak up to retort Jiang Liu, otherwise it would definitely make him wake up.
Jiang Liu composed himself and continued to cultivate Wandering Steps.
Sure enough, running Wandering Steps was much smoother than before, and the changes were more natural. There was basically no sense of stagnation, and the movement became more ethereal and unpredictable.
As expected, when sparring with Wang Zhuang, he completely crushed him.
This made Wang Zhuang feel depressed. He immediately knew that Jiang Liu's Wandering Steps must have reached the entry level.
Wang Zhuang didn't say much, but just cultivated even harder. It seemed that he wouldn't stop until he fainted.
Jiang Liu didn't know what to say. Should he tell Wang Zhuang, "Don't compare yourself to me, because I'm cheating. If you want to compare, find a normal person?"
"Alright! Stop practicing! Let's go eat. Cultivation should be gradual, not something that can be achieved in one step," Jiang Liu said to Wang Zhuang.
Jiang Liu was really afraid that this kid would faint from practicing.
Jiang Liu and Wang Zhuang arrived at the dining hall. Now that the apprentices' strength had improved, the meals provided were also much larger, after all, as their strength increased, their appetites would also increase.
Looking at everyone eating with large food trays, Jiang Liu felt that it was just like a group of pigs eating in modern times?
Bah! Isn't this scolding himself too? Jiang Liu felt that his head was really caught in a door, how could he scold himself?
After finishing their meal, resting for a while, and drinking the Five Elements Fist medicinal soup, Jiang Liu and Wang Zhuang slowly walked back to their residence.
Now Jiang Liu and Wang Zhuang almost always sparred in their residence in the afternoon, or cultivated alone. They rarely went to the square, usually only going in the morning.
Jiang Liu returned to his residence and cultivated according to his established plan.
Wang Zhuang now sparred with Jiang Liu, usually after dinner. Before, they sparred with fist techniques, but now they sparred with Wandering Steps.
At first, Jiang Liu's Five Elements Fist and Wandering Steps could not be used in coordination. Later, after stumbling around, they could finally practice together.
Jiang Liu practiced continuously for two days and finally became proficient.
Now that Jiang Liu's Wandering Steps had reached the entry level, Wang Zhuang couldn't catch up again.
Wang Zhuang always felt like he was being abused to death by Jiang Liu, so he went to practice extra hard.
This made Jiang Liu a little depressed, as he had lost such a good sparring partner.
You should know that cultivating alone is not as fast as improving through sparring. And he hadn't had much contact with other apprentices, so there was no one to spar with for the time being.
Jiang Liu couldn't help but think: "Should I find a few more cultivation tools?"
Then he shook his head again. It's not easy to find someone with a good temper and who gets along with you like Wang Zhuang.
Besides, his progress is so much faster. Others won't help you keep secrets.
Forget it, I'll just practice on my own! It shouldn't take long for Wang Zhuang's Wandering Steps to reach the entry level.
Jiang Liu began to cultivate alone again. After all, cultivation is lonely, so it's best to get used to it.
