Before daylight, Fang Han woke up.
Sit cross-legged on the bed, abandon distracting thoughts, and start working <Wind-Following Art>.
Eighth-rank early stage and Internal Qi are flowing endlessly in the meridians, circulating back and forth, and each operation brings growth visible to the naked eye.
He concentrated on guiding Internal Qi carefully, feeling the solid feeling of the meridians being filled.
More than an hour later, he slowly finished the exercise, a light green light appeared in his eyes, and he felt refreshed and full of energy.
After simply washing up and having breakfast, he picked up his sword and came to Forest Clearing.
The morning is the time to practice <Wind Splitting Sword Technique>.
"Shuashuashua--"
Azure Edge Sword was unsheathed, the sword flashed with a sharp sound that ripped Void Sundering's anger.
He unfolded the Sword Technique at the Proficiency Realm level one by one, carefully understood the coordination of Internal Qi and sword moves, and looked for the opportunity to lead to the "Greater Accomplishment" realm.
The sword wind roared and rolled up the fallen leaves on the ground.
He could feel that his control of "Wind Momentum" was becoming more and more proficient, and the power of his sword moves was steadily increasing, but Mastery Realm would not be achieved in a short time.
After all, Wind Splitting Sword Technique is not only Medium Grade Sword Technique, but also the type of Medium Grade Sword Technique that is extremely difficult to practice.
In the afternoon, the sun slanted slightly, and Fang Han began to practice <Wind Shadow Step>.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh--"
The figure flashed rapidly in the field, and the pace was unpredictable. Sometimes it was like Breeze Brushing Willow, elusive, and sometimes it was like a flash of lightning, appearing and disappearing suddenly.
Internal Qi rushes through the specific meridians of both feet, amplifying the perception to the extreme, capturing every subtle change in the airflow around the body.
In the evening, Fang Han finished Wind Shadow Step's practice.
"Strange..."
After carefully recalling today's cultivation experience, Fang Han's brows gradually furrowed, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
It stands to reason that <Wind Splitting Sword Technique> advanced earlier and should be closer to the next level than <Wind Shadow Step> who practiced later.
But after practicing today, he vaguely felt that <Wind Shadow Step> was closer to the next level.
The next level is not far away, and it may become the earlier breakthrough among the two martial arts.
"Is it because of the difficulty difference? The reason why <Wind Splitting Sword Technique> breaks through from the Proficiency Realm to Greater Accomplishment is more difficult than <Wind Shadow Step> breaks through from Minor Accomplishment to the Proficiency Realm?"
"No, I'm afraid it's more than that."
Fang Han's mind raced, and he quickly thought of the key point.
The last mission to eliminate Ferocious Tiger Stronghold took ten days!
In the past ten days, he was either on the road or searching for traces of thieves' dens in the vast mountains and forests, running long distances in the dense Lin Shan mountains, shuttling back and forth, and spending most of the time using <Wind Shadow Step>.
That kind of high-intensity, undistracted use is equivalent to abandoning other aspects of practice and focusing on practicing Body Movement for ten days!
With an increase of sixteen times Footwork Talent, the effect of these ten days of practice is huge.
It is not surprising that there is such a huge improvement.
"Speaking of which, I was able to escape from the Nether Pavilion disciple with Seventh Rank cultivation level before, thanks to <Wind Shadow Step>..."
In Fang Han's mind, the thrilling scene of being chased by the Nether Pavilion's Seventh Rank disciple Shen You could not help but emerge.
Had it not been for the speed and dexterity of Minor Accomplishment<Wind Shadow Step>, as well as the decisive decision to escape into the dense forest to take advantage of the terrain, the situation would have been in danger.
The oppressive feeling on the line between life and death still makes him frightened when he thinks about it.
"Speed... many times, it is more important to determine life and death than absolute attack power."
Fang Han looked thoughtful in his eyes.
The previous thrilling escape made him deeply realize that a sophisticated Body Movement is not only the key to defeating the enemy, but also the foundation for saving life in critical moments.
Thinking of this, he made a decision in his mind.
In the next period of time, we must appropriately adjust the focus of cultivation, devote more energy to the cultivation of <Wind Shadow Step>, and strive to make <Wind Shadow Step> break through to the realm of the Proficiency Realm as soon as possible.
After all, there are infinite possibilities when you are alive.
In the days that followed, Fang Han's training arrangements quietly changed.
The time to practice <Wind Splitting Sword Technique> in the morning is slightly shortened, and the time to practice <Wind Shadow Step> in the afternoon is correspondingly extended.
He devoted more of his insights and energy into this life-saving and highly maneuverable footwork.
With sixteen times the blessing of Footwork Talent, his understanding of <Wind Shadow Step> deepened day by day.
The improvements are visible to the naked eye every day.
He seemed to be able to "hear" the sound of the wind and "see" the flow of Qi, and his body shape was becoming more and more consistent with the environment.
Time flies, and more than ten days fly by.
This afternoon, the setting sun dyed the sky into a magnificent orange color, which complemented the golden leaves covering the ground.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Fang Han is practicing <Wind Shadow Step> in the open space. His figure has turned into blurry afterimages at such a speed, his footsteps are silent on the ground, and there is a unique rhythm in his movements.
Suddenly, Internal Qi seemed to have some strange resonance in his body.
Under the feet, the airflow suddenly became extremely tame and sharp, and a more majestic "wind" emerged than when Minor Accomplishment!
"Whoosh--!"
His figure became blurry in an instant, leaving a solid afterimage on the spot, but the main body appeared nearly ten feet away as if teleporting, without even a trace of surprise.
As he moved, his legs seemed to be entangled with invisible wind belts, pushing his speed to surge, and the air around him made a low whimpering sound.
"<Wind Shadow Step>, Proficiency Realm!"
Fang Han slowly withdrew, feeling the unprecedented lightness and strength of his legs, as well as the intimate connection between his arms and the surrounding airflow, like an arm, and an unstoppable light of joy burst out in his eyes.
He carefully understood the current situation.
The "wind force" that the legs can arouse has reached the same "three-point" level as Proficiency Realm level <Wind Splitting Sword Technique>!
The movement speed is fully doubled compared to Minor Accomplishment!
"If we encounter Shen You again now..."
Fang Han is confident, if we encounter Seventh Rank's Nether Pavilion disciple Shen You again now.
Even without the help of complex terrain such as dense forests, this Proficiency Realm level <Wind Shadow Step> is enough to easily get rid of it.
This undoubtedly gave his life-saving ability a qualitative leap.
Just as he was immersed in the joy of his footwork breakthrough, a handyman trotted to the edge of the open space and bowed respectfully.
"Senior Brother Fang, Elder, please come over."
Fang Han's mind was slightly calm, the joy on his face faded, and he returned to his usual calmness. He looked at the handyman and nodded.
"Please lead the way."
There was a flash of thought in his eyes.
Chen Xuan Elder's summoning at this time is probably related to the "good fortune" mentioned in Quiet Room half a month ago.
He couldn't help but feel a bit of expectation in his heart.
After tidying up the robes that were slightly messy due to practice, he picked up Azure Edge Sword and followed the handyman.
Fang Han accompanied the handyman and was silent all the way.
The handyman led him to Quiet Room, a reception room next to the Instruction Hall.
After knocking on the door and receiving permission, I pushed open the reception room, and the indoor scene came into view.
I saw Chen Xuan Elder sitting at the top, and four people were already seated on the seats on both sides below.
Astonishingly, it was Yun Qianyue, Li Feng, Huang Ling'er and Shi Meng, plus himself, Zi Courtyard, the top five, were gathered here!
Fang Han became more and more sure of his guess.
Chen Xuan Elder This call must be related to the "good fortune" mentioned before.
"Elder."
Fang Han stepped into the room and bowed.
"Well, sit down."
Chen Xuan Elder nodded slightly, his eyes calm.
Fang Han followed the instructions and sat down in the empty seat under Shi Meng, observing the people present.
Huang Ling'er blinked, with a bit of curiosity about this call.
Yun Qianyue's eyes were slightly drooped, and the expression on the face under the purple gauze could not be seen clearly.
Li Feng was sitting with a knife in his hand, his eyes were cold, as if everything in the outside world had nothing to do with him.
Shi Meng scratched his head, probably very confused at this moment.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Chen Xuan Elder glanced at the five people slowly, pondered for a moment, and then spoke, his voice low and clear:
"I called you here today because there is an important matter related to the sect and your own future."
There was silence in the room, you could hear a needle drop, and all five people listened attentively.
"Have you five heard of 'Earth Heart Stone Milk'?"
Chen Xuan Elder asked.
When Fang Han and Shi Meng heard this, their faces showed confusion and they shook their heads.
The expressions of Yun Qianyue, Li Feng, and Huang Ling'er have changed significantly.
Yun Qianyue raised his eyes and a cold voice sounded:
"My disciple once heard from my sister that it is an extremely rare treasure of heaven and earth. It has the effect of the I Ching cleansing the marrow and transforming the roots and bones."
She spoke slowly, but there was an imperceptible fluctuation in the depths of her eyes.
Li Feng's arm holding the knife tightened slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "The elders in the family have also mentioned that it is extremely precious and can be regarded as precious among the treasures of heaven and earth."
Huang Ling'er's eyes lit up and he rushed to say, "I heard from my ancestors that it is a treasure that can improve your cultivation qualifications!"
There was obvious yearning in her tone.
Chen Xuan Elder was not surprised by the three people's answers. He turned his attention to Fang Han and Shi Meng and explained:
"The three of them come from aristocratic families and are more knowledgeable. It's normal for you two not to know. This Earth Heart Stone Milk is a spiritual liquid bred from the essence of the earth. Its efficacy, as Qian Yue said, is that the I Ching cleanses the marrow and changes the root bones!"
"Change the root bone?!"
Fang Han and Shi Meng lost their voices almost at the same time, and their faces were filled with incredible shock.
Fang Han's heart skipped a beat, as if being hit by a heavy hammer.
Root Bone Talent, common sense generally believes that it is destiny, which determines the starting point and upper limit of a warrior's cultivation path.
He relied on the mysterious Amplification System to be able to change his destiny against the will of heaven. Who would have thought that there would be a treasure in the world that could directly change his bones!
He caught a glimpse of Shi Meng from the corner of his eye, and saw that the sturdy young man's breathing suddenly became a little heavier, and his fists were clenched subconsciously. He was obviously deeply shocked by the news.
Chen Xuan Elder continued.
"There happens to be a natural cave inside Qingyang Prefecture, which can breed a small amount of Earth Heart Stone Milk every year."
"These treasures cannot be monopolized by one sect or one sect, so they are jointly managed by me, Azure Profound Sect, Lingyun Sword Sect, Tyrant Blade Sect, Vajra Temple, Nether Pavilion, Hundred Flower Valley, and Rain Listening Tower Seven Sects."
His tone turned solemn.
"There will inevitably be disputes over distribution. Seven Sects has agreed that new Beginner stage disciples will compete every year, and each sect's share of the income for that year will be determined based on the competition rankings. This year, the five of you will represent me, Azure Profound Sect."
His eyes were as bright as a torch, and he looked at five people one after another.
"The competition is scheduled for November 1st, which is the first day of next month, and the location is Prefecture City Martial Arts Arena."
This battle is related to the interests of the sect, as well as your own future. If you can achieve good results and win more shares for the sect, the sect will be rewarded with generous contribution value."
He paused deliberately and his voice was encouraging.
"Not only will there be generous contribution value rewards, there may even be Earth Heart Stone Milk as a reward!"
