"You have the power of words, senior brother, I will give you some guidance today, so as not to suffer losses in the future!"
Chu Chong's face turned cold. He also knew that as a disciple, he was indeed not qualified to evaluate the ranking system within the sect.
Stomping the ground with his feet, he quickly rushed towards Fang Han like a tiger, and swept towards Fang Han with a short spear in his hand.
"Now!"
Seeing Chu Chong coming across with a single shot, Fang Han's eyes flashed.
The light cyan Internal Qi in his body surged at an unprecedented speed, and the <Startling Swan Step> Perfection Realm level of "Wind Momentum" suddenly erupted.
"Whoosh--!"
His figure seemed to blur for an instant, and his speed suddenly increased several times.
It was no longer the dexterous dodge before, but like a ghost, it easily bypassed the powerful and heavy sweep at an angle and speed far beyond Chu Chong's expectations, and cut into Chu Chong's middle door.
"What?!"
The pride on Chu Chong's face instantly solidified and turned into horror. He didn't expect Fang Han's speed to be so fast.
A ray of light cyan sword light, like the breeze blowing by, lightly scratched his ribs.
"Tsk!"
The skirt of the clothes was torn, and a shallow blood mark appeared, with blood beads oozing out.
The wound was not deep and did not even affect movement, but the burning pain and the instant cold feeling made Chu Chong shocked and angry.
"You... you hide your strength?!"
Chu Chong was shocked and angry.
These days, he has never seen Fang Han perform such a swift Body Movement. If he saw it, he would never provoke recklessly.
"I just realized something under the pressure of my senior brother."
Fang Han's voice is calm, but his figure never stops.
Once he succeeded with the sword, he no longer held back.
The Perfection Realm-level <Startling Swan Step> exerted its full force, and combined with the fierceness of Minor Accomplishment<Wind Splitting Sword Technique>, his figure turned into afterimages that were difficult to capture in the field.
No longer fighting head-on with Chu Chong, but taking advantage of the absolute speed advantage to keep wandering around Chu Chong.
Azure Edge Sword is like a poisonous snake spitting messages, attacking from all unexpected angles.
"Whoosh! Chi!"
"Dang! Poof!"
Chu Chong was frightened and angry, and danced the short spear tightly, but it always felt like it was half a beat too slow.
Fang Han's Body Movement is too fast, Sword Technique is too tricky!
Every confrontation would leave a wound on his body. There were burning wounds on his arms, shoulders, back, etc.
These wounds are not deep, they just scratch the flesh and bleed a little, but their number is constantly increasing.
His cyan disciple uniform quickly became tattered and stained with blood, making him look miserable.
He had a strong Internal Qi, but he couldn't touch the corners of Fang Han's clothes. Instead, he was like a clumsy bear being played, waving his claws in vain.
"Asshole!"
Chu Chong was so angry that his face was distorted, his eyes were red, and he was roaring again and again. His marksmanship gradually lost its order and had more flaws.
The expressions of the disciples who were watching had already changed from the initial wait-and-see attitude to surprise, and then to a faint contempt for Chu Chong.
"This Fang Han... so fast!"
"To be able to cultivate Body Movement to this level at such a young age is worthy of being Zi Courtyard's seventh!"
"I didn't expect that Chu Chong Grade Eight's mid-term cultivation would be suppressed to the point where he was unable to fight back..."
"It's really... an embarrassment to us senior brothers and sisters. Our cultivation level is two levels higher, but we are being teased like this."
Although the discussion was low, it reached Chu Chong's ears clearly, making him even more embarrassed and angry.
He wanted to tear Fang Han into pieces, but the more impatient he was, the more flaws he had, and the faster the wounds on his body increased.
"Puff, puff, puff--"
Fang Han looked calmly and struck again and again, leaving wounds on Chu Chong's body again and again.
If he had wanted to, he would have seriously injured Chu Chong, but he did not do so.
He knew that if he made a serious move, Lei Lie would definitely stop him immediately, and he would lose the opportunity to teach Chu Chong a lesson.
"Pfft--"
He passed by with his sword again, adding a new wound on the outside of Chu Chong's thigh.
Chu Chong cried out in pain and staggered.
"The discussion ends here!"
At this moment, Lei Lie, who had been silently watching the battle, finally spoke, his voice carrying unquestionable majesty.
When Fang Han heard the sound, he immediately sheathed his sword and retreated. His figure floated down more than ten meters away. Azure Edge Sword pointed diagonally at the ground, breathing calmly, as if the high-speed battle just now did not consume too much of his energy.
Chu Chong was holding a short gun, panting, and his body was in ragged clothes and covered in blood. Although they were all skin injuries, he looked extremely miserable.
He stared at Fang Han, his eyes full of resentment and humiliation, but he did not dare to do anything again.
"Chu Chong, although your injury is not serious, if you continue, it may affect the mission. Let's take care of the wound first."
Lei Lie walked forward, his eyes first fell on Chu Chong, and said in a deep voice.
Chu Chong gritted his teeth and whispered, "Yes, Senior Brother Lei."
He gave Fang Han a hard look, and then left in disgrace under the complex looks of several familiar disciples.
Then, Lei Lie turned to Fang Han, and his deep eyes stayed on him for a moment.
This usually unsmiling captain had a rare glimpse of appreciation and dignity in his eyes.
"Junior brother Fang Han, good Sword Technique, good Body Movement."
Lei Lie said slowly.
"With Ninth-rank late stage's cultivation level, he can suppress the mid-term disciples of Grade Eight. No wonder he can stand out among Zi Courtyard."
He paused and said in approval.
"Practice well. With your talent and character, the future...True Disciple is promising."
As soon as he said this, several disciples around him looked at Fang Han with more solemn eyes.
Lei Lie, as a Seventh Rank warrior, is not far from the position of True Disciple, and his evaluation carries great weight.
The four words "True Disciple can be expected" are undoubtedly a great affirmation of the potential of Fang Han.
"Senior Brother Lei has been praised too much. I will continue to cultivate diligently."
Fang Han's heart moved slightly, but his face remained humble and he cupped his hands.
Lei Lie nodded, said no more, and waved everyone away.
Fang Han put his sword into its sheath, feeling the admiring, fearful, or curious eyes around him, without much emotion in his heart.
After this battle, Chu Chong must not dare to cause trouble again in a short period of time, and he can finally practice with peace of mind.
He looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was just right.
Ignoring the comments behind him, he immediately continued practicing in the open space <Wind Splitting Sword Technique>.
After that day of discussion, Chu Chong never appeared in front of Fang Han again.
Even when they met on patrol, Chu Chong immediately turned away with a sullen face, his eyes averted, and he did not dare to look at Fang Han.
But in the peripheral vision that occasionally swept by, the deep resentment and hatred did not dissipate. Instead, it was like a volcano that was forcibly suppressed, adding a bit of sinisterness.
Fang Han felt a murderous intention in his heart, but he forcibly suppressed it.
If it is not necessary, you can no longer do things like Zhao Qianjun. If discovered by the sect, the consequences will be extremely serious.
Now that he recalled the sect's investigation into the disappearance of Zhao Qianjun, it still made him faintly afraid.
Life in the mine has returned to peace, patrolling, practicing, and resting, all three points and one line, simple and fulfilling.
Without external interference, Fang Han immersed all his mind in cultivation.
In addition to completing necessary patrol tasks every day, he would stay in that secluded open space with Azure Edge Sword in his hand.
The battle with Chu Chong, indeed, as Chu Chong said, gave him a great tempering effect and gave him a deeper understanding of <Wind Splitting Sword Technique>.
Those subtle stagnations that are difficult to detect when practicing alone are magnified under the pressure of actual combat, and become clear one by one during meditation and review.
He is no longer eager for success, but slows down, dismantling and pondering one sword at a time.
My mind is completely immersed in the world of Sword Technique, feeling the trajectory of Internal Qi flowing through specific meridians, and experiencing the subtle changes in the airflow being pulled and torn when the sword edge cuts through the air.
One evening a few days later, the setting sun dyed the clouds on the horizon into a magnificent orange-red.
Fang Han is practicing to Sword Technique named "Wind Whirl Splitting Sky" in <Wind Splitting Sword Technique>.
This move requires the sword to move with you and your body to move with the sword, bursting out multiple tearing Sword Qi in rapid rotation. It requires extremely high Internal Qi control and Body Movement coordination.
His body rotated, Azure Edge Sword drew sharp arcs, the sword wind roared, and the fallen leaves on the ground flew up.
At first, the sword moves still had a trace of deliberateness, but as he became clear-minded and continued to adjust the rhythm of his breathing and exertion, the sword moves gradually became smooth and smooth.
At a certain moment, when he perfectly combined the power of rotation with sharp power--
"Buzz!"
More wind than before wrapped around the sword, and Azure Edge Sword let out a pleasant sound.
When the sword blade passed by, the air no longer just made a sharp sound, but was torn open with a tiny trace of vacuum, emitting a low but more penetrating roar.
Fang Han His heart moved, his wrist shook slightly, and Azure Edge Sword cut towards a bluestone beside him that was used to practice strength.
"Tsk!"
There was no violent collision sound, Azure Edge Sword easily cut the bluestone in half like a hot knife cutting butter, and the fracture was as smooth as a mirror.
"<Wind Splitting Sword Technique>, Proficiency Realm!"
Fang Han slowly sheathed his sword, his eyes bursting with uncontrollable joy.
<Wind Splitting Sword Technique> The power has improved again, reaching the level of the Proficiency Realm.
He carefully understood the feeling of the sword strike just now.
Compared with the previous time <Wind Splitting Sword Technique>Minor Accomplishment, now his control over "Wind Momentum" has made a qualitative leap.
If we roughly quantify the understanding of the wind force, at the time of Minor Accomplishment, we have only touched the threshold and can grasp the essence of the wind force.
So when <Wind Splitting Sword Technique> reaches Proficiency Realm, his understanding and use of wind power has reached three points!
This improvement is directly reflected in the power of Sword Technique.
The sword wind is more concentrated, has stronger penetrating power, and is faster.
"If we fight Chu Chong again now..."
Fang Han looked in the direction of Chu Chong's residence.
If he were to fight against Chu Chong now, even if he did not rely on the absolute speed advantage of the Perfection Realm<Startling Swan Step>, he would be confident that he could defeat Chu Chong easily just by relying on <Wind Splitting Sword Technique> who had reached the level of the Proficiency Realm.
The improvement of strength brings inner peace and stronger self-confidence.
Fang Han stood with the sword in hand, feeling the endless flow of Internal Qi and Sword Technique in his body after the breakthrough, and felt that the road to martial arts in front of him became increasingly clear.
He looked in the direction of the Azure Profound Sect, his eyes calm and firm.
There is still a period of time left in the mine guard duty, and he has enough time to further consolidate and master the Proficiency Realm level <Wind Splitting Sword Technique>.
After returning to the sect after the mission, it's time to make another move on Zi Courtyard's ranking.
