Innate Sword Skill!

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

Li Yun seemed to have vanished off the face of the earth, never appearing once.

Zhang Chu searched all over Rank 95 Academy but could not find Li Yun. He even went to the little grove Li Yun often visited, yet found no trace of him there either. He immediately panicked.

He found Martial Arts Deacon Xu Qing and told him that Li Yun had gone missing and might have run into trouble.

He also asked Xu Qing to help search for Li Yun's whereabouts.

Xu Qing also knew that Li Yun was someone Elder Zhang Cong had his eye on. His sudden disappearance could not possibly be a good thing, so he hurriedly arranged for the Rank 95 Academy disciples to search for him.

Gu Yunzheng, whose conscience was guilty, was so frightened that his face turned pale.

Fortunately, neither Xu Qing nor Zhang Chu noticed him. After arranging for the Rank 95 Academy disciples to search, the two of them rushed off in a fluster to see Zhang Cong.

But the result was—

"Li Yun has gone missing? Bullshit!"

"Stop talking nonsense. Li Yun merely went somewhere special. He might return in a few days. Don't make a mountain out of a molehill!"

Xu Qing and Zhang Chu were instantly dumbfounded.

So they had made a huge Wulong and worried for nothing.

"Xu Qing, hurry back and tell the Rank 95 Academy disciples to stop searching. Making such a fuss over such a small matter is ridiculous. But after you return, don't go spreading this around either."

"Especially you, Zhang Chu... keep that mouth of yours shut tight. Li Yun left with your sister. Your sister needs his help with something. Don't go shooting your mouth off and cause trouble for Li Yun, understand?"

Upon hearing that, Zhang Chu's thoughts immediately went astray.

"Good lord, my sister took Li Yun away without a word, yet she didn't tell me?"

"So sneaky... could they possibly...?"

At that thought, he shuddered violently.

He secretly gritted his teeth.

"Li Yun, you bastard! I treat you as a brother, acknowledge you as my boss, yet you want to become my brother-in-law?"

"Damn it!"

"When you get back, just see how I deal with you!"

Though he said that—

The two still hurried back to Rank 95 Academy and called back the disciples who had been preparing to search everywhere.

"Uh... it was a misunderstanding."

"Li Yun had something to take care of and went back home recently. There's no need for everyone to worry. Do whatever you should be doing and focus on cultivating..."

Went back home?

Who was he trying to fool?

Gu Yunzheng did not believe a single word of Xu Qing's excuse.

Once someone entered the Celestial Martial Sect, how could they simply leave whenever they wanted?

Unless one was an Inner Sect Disciple, there was no freedom to come and go, all right?

In Gu Yunzheng's view, Xu Qing had most likely discovered that Li Yun had already met with a violent end. He had merely fabricated such an excuse to avoid causing panic among the Rank 95 Academy disciples.

Once enough time had passed, they could say Li Yun had gone back home, suddenly no longer wished to practice martial arts, and would not be returning.

Who would then suspect that Li Yun was already dead?

Thinking of that, Gu Yunzheng felt utterly at ease.

But then he suddenly became somewhat worried. Since Li Yun was already finished, why had his cousin still not sent any news?

Could it be that, in order to avoid being noticed, his cousin was deliberately keeping it under wraps?

Mm, that had to be it.

After all, they had killed an Outer Sect Disciple. Given his cousin He Tingfeng's usual style, he would probably wait until things calmed down and make sure no one suspected them before saying anything.

With that thought, Gu Yunzheng stopped dwelling on the matter.

He decided to wait another two days. If his cousin still did not come, he would find an excuse to visit Rank 77 Courtyard and look for him.

Inside the valley.

Li Yun sat motionless, though inwardly he was filled with helplessness.

His judgment of the loading speed of the Unnamed Sword Art had been wrong.

A full two days had passed. Taking advantage of the time, he had already completed the seventh stance of his Basic Stance Cultivation's sublimation, yet the Unnamed Sword Art had only loaded to 97%. It was slow as a tortoise crawling.

Fortunately, it was finally nearly complete.

Moreover, taking advantage of this opportunity, he continuously observed the Wind of the Valley Mouth for twelve hours every day, spending the rest of his time resting, eating, and sleeping. He gained 10 Cognition Points every second.

Over two days, even grains of sand piled up into a tower, and he had gained more than 860,000 Cognition Points.

Added to the original 600,000, then subtracting the 200,000 points spent sublimating four more stances, his total Martial Cognition Points had once again exceeded one million, reaching 1,264,000 points.

It felt absolutely incredible.

If the timing had not been inappropriate, he would have wanted to sublimate all five remaining Zhuang Gong stances in one breath, then thoroughly sublimate his other martial arts and the Reverse Fate Art.

In particular, Li Yun was placing more and more importance on the Reverse Fate Art, which could raise his aptitude.

Because he had had enough of suffering from having aptitude that was too low.

In this valley, if his aptitude had been even a little higher, the Unnamed Sword Art would not have loaded so slowly, and he would not have gained only 10 Cognition Points per second.

By comparison—

Zhang Ruohan was much calmer.

Because she knew how difficult it was to comprehend an Innate Sword Skill from this valley mouth. Let alone two days, she would consider it remarkable if it could be comprehended within two months.

So she was not anxious in the slightest.

Instead, she took the initiative to hunt, bringing back animals such as roe deer and wild rabbits to roast. Occasionally, she also gathered sweet and delicious fruits.

This satisfied the two of them's food needs within the valley.

Time gradually reached the afternoon.

Zhang Ruohan had just roasted a wild rabbit. It smelled delicious, its golden skin glistening with dripping oil. One look was enough to tell how tempting it would be, and she was about to call Li Yun over to eat.

Suddenly, she noticed a hint of joy appear on Li Yun's face.

Zhang Ruohan immediately closed her small mouth, which had just opened.

Her heart pounded wildly.

"No way, only two days... has he really comprehended it?"

Whether he had or not, she did not dare make a sound. She merely waited quietly at the side.

And her judgment truly was excellent.

Just then, the Unnamed Sword Art on the System Panel had loaded to 100%, displaying the words "Not Entered."

That meant he could raise it through Cognition Points.

Li Yun did not hesitate in the least and immediately chose to upgrade it!

The next second!

A full 1,264,000 Cognition Points instantly evaporated by 200,000!

The shock made Li Yun tremble violently.

What a joke. The Reverse Fate Art, which could raise aptitude and was so absurdly powerful, had only cost him 10,000 Cognition Points to go from Not Entered to the Entry Realm.

Yet this Unnamed Sword Art cost twenty times as much right from the start?

Why?

What rank of martial art was this? Could it really be so outrageous?

At this rate of consumption, raising this sword art to the Perfection Realm would require several million Cognition Points. Damn it, where was he supposed to get that many Cognition Points?

This was really barking mad!

Still, expensive things had their reasons for being expensive. As the saying went, you got what you paid for; that had been true since ancient times.

About half an hour later.

After Li Yun had fully digested the information in his mind and formally entered the Entry Realm of this Unnamed Sword Art, a brilliant smile appeared on his face.

Only then did he learn that this sword art had actually reached the Innate level.

It was a genuinely formidable martial art that required Innate True Qi to wield. At his current level, he simply could not cultivate a martial art of that rank.

He had relied entirely on the system to force his way into the Entry Realm!

But in just over two days, he had learned an Innate Martial Art and casually gained more than 860,000 Cognition Points. This trip had not been wasted at all!
