Zhou Heng stopped practicing the Flame Sword Art. He had already grasped the essence of this sword technique and could amplify his power fortyfold, but its ultimate limit should have been around a forty-fivefold increase in strength.
The reason he could not reach that level was not due to insufficient comprehension, but because a single move alone could not achieve such an effect!
Several moves had to be unleashed in succession, using one force to build upon the next, before the ultimate forty-fivefold enhancement could be attained!

"Furnace, no need to keep burning!"
At once, the Fire God Furnace withdrew its flames. The page of flame paper immediately returned to its original state, as though it had never been scorched at all. From that alone, the paper itself was clearly a treasure!
Zhou Heng picked up another technique manual and began studying the Carefree Steps.
This was merely an ordinary seven-star technique. Movement techniques were difficult to rank as precisely as offensive techniques, but when the same person cultivated different techniques, there would always be a difference in speed.

If one could not catch an opponent's position, then
