"Although Beginner stage alone takes several months, overall, practicing the master-level skills directly is undoubtedly the most efficient."
When he first practiced Horizontal Training Kung Fu, Fang Han once considered whether to practice the Grandmaster-level Horizontal Training Kung Fu directly, or choose to practice the low-level Horizontal Training Kung Fu first, then gradually transition to the Grandmaster-level Horizontal Training Kung Fu.
He chose the former, believing that the former was more efficient. Now it seems that this choice is undoubtedly correct.
In just a few months, he already has a physical defense that is invulnerable to ordinary Fourth Grade Late Stage warriors.
And if you choose the latter, first use the low-level horizontal exercises as a base and slowly transition, the time spent may not be a few months, but dozens of months.
This point can be deduced by analogy from the time it took for his Sword Technique to go from low-grade to Medium Grade, from Medium Grade to High Grade, from High Grade to top-notch, and to the present day.
"It seems that the most efficient way to use your talents is to practice high-level skills!"
Fang Han A realization arises in his heart.
If you want to maximize the use of his exaggerated talent after Talent Amplification, the best way is to directly practice high-level skills, instead of lowering the difficulty like ordinary disciples, first practicing low-level skills, and then gradually converting to high-level skills.
Although the latter practice is much less difficult, it takes longer and is suitable for disciples with average qualifications, but not for "talented" disciples like him.
On the last day of the month, the sky above Azure Profound Sect is clear and the late winter wind is still chilly, but you can already smell a hint of spring.
Many disciples had gathered early in the square where General Ranking Martial Dao Stele was located.
They chatted in small groups, waiting for tests, or watching others test.
The last day of every month is a day for sect disciples to test their strength and refresh their rankings. This day is especially important for those disciples who are eager to obtain more resource quotas in the following month.
"I heard that many people have improved their skills this month and are preparing to hit a higher ranking."
"After all, because of the Chinese New Year, there was a gap of two months. It is normal for the strength to improve greatly."
"Tell me, will Senior Brother Fang Han come to test this month?"
"I bet that senior brother Fang Han will definitely come!"
"So sure? Senior brother Fang Han has been testing General Ranking Martial Dao Stele for several months."
"That's natural. Senior Brother Fang Han's ranking on Prodigy Ranking has improved again this month and has surpassed Fifth Senior Sister. However, his ranking on General Ranking is still below Fifth Senior Sister. He will definitely come to improve General Ranking's ranking!"
When Fang Han was mentioned, several disciples looked towards the entrance of the square unconsciously, with a bit of admiration and expectation in their eyes.
In the Prodigy Ranking update at the beginning of this month, Fang Han jumped from the 68th to the 55th, a one-time increase of thirteen points, and has surpassed the fifth senior sister Su Yuwei, who is at the 63rd.
But above General Ranking in the door, Fang Han's ranking is still behind the fifth senior sister, so Fang Han will definitely come to General Ranking Martial Dao Stele to test.
At this moment, there was a slight commotion at the entrance to the square.
"Senior brother Fang Han is here!"
Someone shouted in a low voice, and everyone's eyes turned in that direction.
A figure in green robe walked calmly, with a long sword hanging on his waist and a calm face.
It is Fang Han.
He is still wearing the silver patterned green robe exclusive to True Disciple disciples, his long hair is tied up with a wooden hairpin, and his eyes are as calm as water.
When he walked by, those disciples who looked at him felt an invisible pressure inexplicably.
It was as if he was not facing a peer, but a sharp sword that had lost its edge but was still frightening.
The test team, which was originally lined up in a long line, spontaneously moved aside when they saw Fang Han, revealing a passage leading directly to Martial Dao Stele.
Fang Han paused slightly and glanced at the disciples who gave way.
There was no reluctance in their eyes, but an almost instinctive awe and expectation--
It seemed like it was a matter of course to let him test first.
He did not delay, nodded slightly, and said in a calm voice:
"Thank you."
He didn't mind waiting a little longer, but he understood that if he refused this "preferential treatment" now, it would make these disciples uneasy and think that they had done something wrong.
After all, this is different from the previous life. It is not a world where everyone is equal, but a world where the weak and the strong are overt and the strong is respected.
"Senior Brother Fang, you're welcome, you should be right!"
When the disciples heard this, they immediately showed flattered expressions on their faces and waved their hands repeatedly.
Fang Han steps towards Martial Dao Stele.
The square fell silent instantly, and all eyes were focused on him.
No one spoke, no one even dared to breathe loudly, there was only the subtle whistling of the wind across the square.
Fang Han stood a few feet in front of the monument and looked up at the monument.
The body of the white jade-like stele has a warm luster, and at the top, each name shines brightly.
Tenth: Yang Zhe.
Ninth: Wang Miao.
Eighth: Liu Ruyan.
Seventh: Mo Chen.
Sixth: Fang Han.
Fifth: Su Yuwei.
Fourth: Chen Wuhen.
Third: Mad Butcher.
Second: Yun Muyao.
First: Luo Yuntian.
His eyes stayed on his sixth position for a moment.
This ranking is the result of testing at the end of October last year.
At that time, his cultivation was still in the early stages of Fourth Grade.
Now, three months later, his cultivation level has been improved to Fourth Grade Late Stage, and his strength has naturally increased significantly.
Originally, he wanted to hide part of his strength as a trump card, but in the battle with Duan Wuya, he had fully revealed this part of his hidden strength.
In this case, there is no need to hide your clumsiness anymore.
Except for the huge strength of 100,000 kilograms that has not yet been exposed, all other aspects of strength can be fully revealed.
Fang Han slowly raised his hand and pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist.
"Keng--"
There was a clear sword cry, and Cloudsplitter Sword was unsheathed.
Dark Cyan's sword body was shining with restrained brilliance in the early morning sunlight. The air seemed to be slightly stagnant where the sword pointed.
He did not draw his sword immediately, but stood still for a moment, and the aura around his body slowly rose.
Fourth Grade Late Stage's Internal Qi, like a sleeping river, awakened and surged in his body.
The aura was not violent, it could even be said to be restrained, but the majesty and fierceness contained within that restraint made all the disciples in the square feel a suffocating sense of oppression.
Obviously he was just standing there, obviously he was just holding a sword, but he seemed to be integrated with the world, and seemed to be able to tear the world apart at any time.
"So... such a strong breath..."
Someone swallowed hard, his voice so low that it was almost inaudible.
More people stared at that figure with their eyes wide open, for fear of missing any moment.
Fang Han moved.
Simply thrust out with a sword.
Cloudsplitter Sword turned into an extremely condensed cyan rainbow. Wherever the sword tip passed, the air made a subtle but extremely sharp tearing sound.
The sound was not loud, but it seemed to penetrate directly into the depths of everyone's soul, making people's scalp numb and causing goosebumps.
"Chi--boom!!"
The moment the sword tip touched the monument, the highly condensed Sword Intent and the majestic Internal Qi exploded.
After the sharp abnormal sound, there was a dull thunderous explosion.
General Ranking Martial Dao Stele's whole body shines brightly, the monument's surface shakes violently, and ripple-like energy ripples spread crazily.
The light was so powerful that people couldn't even look directly at it, so they could only squint their eyes and barely look at the monument.
Fang Han's name suddenly lights up!
The number that represented the ranking in front of it began to beat crazily!
Six!
The numbers blur and jump instantly!
Five!
The light was stable for a moment, then blurred again!
Four!
This time, without even a moment's pause, the numbers broke through!
Three!
The brilliance finally settled, and the number stayed firmly at the "three" position.
General Ranking Third!
The name Fang Han has surpassed Su Yuwei, Chen Wuhen, and Mad Butcher, and is second only to Luo Yuntian and Yun Muyao!
There was dead silence in the square.
Everyone was looking at the name shining brightly on the white Jade Stele, looking at the word "three", speechless for a long time.
After a moment, the dead silence was broken by an irrepressible exclamation.
"Third... third?!"
"Senior brother Fang Han actually rushed to third place?!"
"Not only did he surpass senior sister Su Yuwei, but he also surpassed senior brothers Chen Wuhen and Mad Butcher!"
Shouts of exclamation, admiration, and various discussions were like a flood that opened and swept the entire square in an instant.
According to their expectations, Fang Han General Ranking will surpass Su Yuwei in the ranking and be promoted to fifth place.
But they didn't expect that Fang Han was stronger than they expected, not only surpassing Su Yuwei, but also surpassing Chen Wuhen and Mad Butcher, directly rising to third place.
Above him, only senior brother Luo Yuntian and second senior sister Yun Muyao are left.
Looking at Fang Han, they felt as if they were witnessing a legend.
"Tell me... how senior brother Fang Han's current Prodigy Ranking ranking can be?"
Someone suddenly asked a key question.
As soon as this question came up, the discussion in the square became even more heated.
"Senior brother Mad Butcher is the thirty-eighth on Prodigy Ranking! Senior brother Fang Han, since General Ranking's ranking has surpassed senior brother Mad Butcher, doesn't it mean that his Prodigy Ranking ranking is at least thirty-eighth?"
"Prodigy Ranking Thirty-eighth? Fang Han How old is senior brother? Twenty years old. To have such a ranking at the age of twenty is... this is too..."
Everyone's eyes were shining with excitement and anticipation.
"General Ranking third."
Fang Han slowly sheathed the sword, and Cloudsplitter Sword made a soft "clang" sound when sheathing it, which was particularly clear in the silent square.
He looked up and glanced at his name on the tablet.
Third.
This result was not only beyond the expectations of the disciples in the square, but also somewhat beyond his expectations.
After all, with that sword strike just now, he did not use the 100,000 kilograms of physical strength that <Black Tortoise True Art> possessed after reaching Beginner stage.
Still had reservations and did not go all out.
Even under such circumstances, the ranking was still able to reach third place.
"If we attack with all our strength..."
Fang Han This thought flashed through his mind.
If you go all out without any reservations, how high can your General Ranking ranking be improved?
