Opening with Three Axe Slashes!

The Feiyun Sect Outer Court Martial Pavilion is where Outer Court disciples obtain martial skills.

According to Sect regulations, Outer Court disciples whose cultivation reaches Body Refining Seventh Level or above can receive three Human-grade High-tier Martial Skills for free to cultivate.

The original owner's cultivation was too low before, so he could only cultivate Human-grade Low-tier and Mid-tier skills. He didn't even dare to think about Human-grade High-tier.

However, Ye Feng now is already at Body Refining Tenth Level, so he naturally has the qualification to receive them.

At the entrance of the Martial Pavilion sat a white-haired old man, who was the Pavilion Guard Elder responsible for guarding the Martial Pavilion.

This elder appeared ordinary, but Ye Feng could feel an unfathomable power hidden within his body. He was at least a master of the Qi Gathering Realm or above.

"Disciple Ye Feng, cultivation Body Refining Tenth Level, here to receive Human-grade High-tier Martial Skills." Ye Feng respectfully bowed.

The Pavilion Guard Elder raised his eyelids, his cloudy gaze swept over Ye Feng, and he said faintly, "Body Refining Tenth Level? How come I can't tell? Among Outer Court disciples, Body Refining Tenth Level is rarely seen. Extend your hand, let this old man test it."

The cultivation of the Body Refining Realm cannot release its aura like the Qi Gathering Realm, making it difficult to judge its depth. It is usually verified by testing strength.

Ye Feng said nothing further. As instructed, he extended his right hand, channeled the power of Body Refining Tenth Level, and threw a light punch at the air in front of the elder.

"Bang!"

The seemingly casual punch carried a strong gust of wind, and the air let out a muffled sound, displaying considerable strength.

However, the Pavilion Guard Elder casually raised his left hand, pinched it with two fingers, and accurately caught Ye Feng's fist.

He felt a gentle yet incredibly tenacious force, and his punch was instantly neutralized into nothingness, unable to advance an inch further. The elder, throughout this, sat as steady as a mountain, not moving an inch.

"Hmm, not bad, indeed Body Refining Tenth Level Peak." The Pavilion Guard Elder released his fingers, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, then he nodded, his tone softening slightly.

"To have such cultivation at such a young age, you seem to be a cultivator who is willing to put in hard work. Go ahead, the second floor is the Human-grade High-tier Martial Skill area. Choose three yourself and register them."

"Thank you, Elder!" Ye Feng was inwardly horrified. This Pavilion Guard Elder's strength was unfathomable. With just two fingers, he easily blocked his full-power punch at Body Refining Tenth Level! At the same time, he felt a bit awkward about the "hard worker" evaluation.

How could this be from hard training? It was clearly modified by the system.

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Ye Feng walked into the Martial Pavilion.

On the first floor of the Martial Pavilion were placed a large number of Martial Skill Manuals, all of Human-grade Low-tier and Mid-tier.

Glancing at them, Ye Feng felt a bit tempted.

If he could modify all these basic martial skills with the system, his martial foundation would definitely be extremely solid.

But he saw that each manual had the Sect's seal on it, and next to it was a notice prohibiting private dismantling, with severe penalties for violators.

"Forget it, you can't chew more than you can swallow, and rules cannot be broken." Ye Feng restrained his impulse and turned towards the stairs leading to the second floor.

The space on the second floor was much smaller than the first, and there were fewer Martial Skill Manuals, but each one exuded a stronger aura than those on the first floor. This was precisely the area for Human-grade High-tier Martial Skills.

Ye Feng walked up to the bookshelves and began to choose carefully. He didn't choose blindly but selected based on his needs and combat style.

"First, my main focus is sword techniques. I must get another powerful sword skill as a trump card besides the Cloud Soaring Sword Art, or rather, as my primary offensive method." Ye Feng's gaze swept across the sword technique area, and he quickly locked onto a martial skill called Gale Sword.

Gale Sword, Human-grade High-tier, known for its speed, ferocity, and ruthlessness. Its sword strikes are like the wind, with formidable power, perfectly compensating for the Cloud Soaring Sword Art's tendency towards agility and slightly insufficient power.

"This is the one!"

"Secondly, movement techniques are also very important. In the cultivation world, not only must you be able to fight, but you must also be able to escape." Ye Feng went to the movement technique area and began to choose.

He needed a movement technique that was fast and excelled at dodging and surprise attacks.

Finally, Ye Feng chose Ghostly Step.

Ghostly Step, Human-grade High-tier movement technique, excels at short to medium-range burst acceleration and directional changes. Its footwork is bizarre, like a phantom, making it very suitable for pursuit or escape.

"With offense and movement, I need a defensive or close-quarters combat martial skill, in case my long sword unexpectedly breaks or is dropped, significantly reducing my combat power." Ye Feng pondered for a moment and walked towards the fist technique area.

Fist techniques are fierce and possess immense power at close range, making them perfect as an aid. He chose a martial skill called Vajra Fist.

Vajra Fist, Human-grade High-tier Fist Technique. When cultivated to its depths, the fists become as hard as vajra, indestructible, and possess extremely strong defense.

"Sword techniques as primary, movement techniques as secondary, and fist techniques as backup." Ye Feng nodded with satisfaction. Gale Sword, Ghostly Step, and Vajra Fist – these three martial skills, when combined, formed a comprehensive set that was integrated for offense and defense, suitable for both close and long-range combat.

He took the three martial skill manuals to the registration desk and registered his name and the chosen martial skills.

The Pavilion Guard Elder glanced at the martial skills he had chosen and nodded, "You have good taste. Remember, sect martial skills cannot be privately taught to others and must be returned after one month. If there is any damage or loss, you will be dealt with according to sect rules."

"Disciple understands!" Ye Feng respectfully replied and, holding the three martial skill manuals, hurriedly left the Martial Pavilion.

Returning to his small wooden hut, Ye Feng immediately closed the door and excitedly rubbed his hands.

"Finally got them! Human-grade High-tier martial skills!" He impatiently flipped open Gale Sword and quickly scanned through it. With an understanding far surpassing ordinary people and his previous experience modifying the Cloud Soaring Sword Art, he quickly memorized the contents of Gale Sword into his mind.

Next were Ghostly Step and Vajra Fist. He memorized them just as quickly.

"Alright, now it's time to witness a miracle!" Ye Feng took a deep breath and communicated with the system.

"System, change the cultivation time for Vajra Fist to ten years later!"

[Command received! Modifying cultivation time for Vajra Fist...]

[Modification successful! Time set to ten years later.]

A torrent of information flooded into his mind, and Ye Feng instantly grasped all the essence of Vajra Fist. His fist technique realm directly reached Perfection! He felt his fists filled with explosive power, as if he could shatter giant rocks with a single punch.

"Awesome! Again!"

"System, change the cultivation time for Ghostly Step to ten years later!"

[Received command! Modifying Ghostly Step cultivation time...]

[Modification successful! Time set for ten years later.]

Another stream of information flowed into Ye Feng's mind, bringing with it countless insights and experiences regarding the footwork of Ghostly Step. He tried moving a few steps within the cramped wooden hut. His figure indeed became elusive and his speed greatly increased, leaving behind faint afterimages. The Ghostly Step at the Perfection Realm was truly well-deserved its reputation!

"Finally, it's you! Gale Sword!" Ye Feng's eyes burned with fervor.

"System, modify the cultivation time for Gale Sword, change it to ten years later!"

[Received command! Modifying Gale Sword cultivation time...]

[Modification successful! Time set for ten years later.]

Boom!
