After stretching his aching muscles, Fang Han pushed Quiet Room's door open.
Outside, the sun shines through the branches and leaves of the bamboo forest, casting mottled light and shadow on the ground.
The mess in the courtyard has almost been cleared up, the broken bamboos have been cleaned up, and most of the cracks on the ground have been filled.
Only the deep scratches on the courtyard wall are left, still telling the story of the Sword Intent outbreak in the morning.
Several Servant were busy, and when they saw Fang Han coming out, they quickly bowed and saluted.
Fang Han nodded slightly, walked through the courtyard, and came to the open space where he usually practiced.
Cloudsplitter Sword was hanging on his waist. He did not draw the sword, but stood with his hands behind his back.
"Next, it's time to practice <Windcloud Escape>."
<Windcloud Escape>, this top Body Movement, he has cultivated to the Mastery Realm, and the next step is the last realm - Perfection Realm.
If he can break through the Perfection Realm, and with the current cultivation level of Third Grade Early Stage, even if he encounters a strong person like Yin Wugou again, he will be sure to escape with Body Movement.
He closed his eyes, and the mental formula <Windcloud Escape> appeared in his mind.
Those words that have long been familiar to my heart are slowly flowing through my heart at this moment.
After a moment, he opened his eyes and moved.
"Whoosh--!"
In the courtyard, a green shadow flashed like a ghost.
The body shape is erratic, sometimes left and now right, looking forward and suddenly behind.
There were afterimages in the courtyard, as if there were several figures moving at the same time.
"Huh?"
A strange feeling came to Fang Han's heart.
Different from the past practice days, today's Body Movement is running exceptionally smoothly.
That kind of smoothness is not simply an improvement in proficiency, but a deeper, indescribable sense of fluency.
It was like the originally stagnant river channel was suddenly dredged and the water flowed freely.
As I continue to use Body Movement, the smooth feeling becomes more and more obvious.
He can even feel that his understanding of Body Movement is deepening at a faster speed than before.
Some profound things that had to be figured out over and over in the past are now naturally understood.
"How could this happen?"
Fang Han felt a little doubt in his heart.
He stopped and stood in the courtyard, frowning slightly.
The feeling just now was definitely not an illusion.
His Body Movement practice was indeed much smoother than before.
But what's the reason?
He closed his eyes and took in the changes in his body.
After a moment, he opened his eyes, a glint of thought flashing in his eyes.
"Is it... because of Sword Intent?"
Fang Han I think of Wind Sword Intent that I just realized this morning.
<Windcloud Escape> This Body Movement contains Wind Momentum, "potential" and "Artistic Conception", although they are two levels, they have the same origin.
Momentum can only exist in martial arts and cannot exist apart from martial arts.
Because of this, even if he has cultivated <Void-Sundering Nine Swords> to the Perfection Realm and comprehended 10% of Wind Momentum, it has not significantly promoted the cultivation of <Windcloud Escape>, which also contains Wind Momentum.
But Sword Intent is different.
Artistic Conception, can already exist independently of martial arts to a certain extent.
Although the power will be greatly reduced when it is separated from the martial arts, it is a higher level of power after all.
Using Wind Sword Intent, or Wind Concept, which is a higher level than Wind Momentum, to assist the understanding of <Windcloud Escape> is like mastering esoteric martial arts. Using the martial arts truths of esoteric martial arts to understand superficial martial arts will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.
"That's it."
Fang Han whispered to himself, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
After understanding Wind Sword Intent, the cultivation of <Windcloud Escape> could actually have a beneficial effect, which he had never thought of before.
But it's a good thing.
He stopped thinking about it and moved again.
This time, he was more focused on experiencing that smooth feeling.
Wind Concept actuates and penetrates into every detail of Body Movement.
The steps under my feet became lighter.
The body shape changes and becomes more fluid.
Even the speed is three points faster than before.
Sometimes he was as fast as the wind, passing across the opposite corner of the courtyard in an instant.
Sometimes it floats like clouds, leaving a trail of afterimages in a small area.
Sometimes it stops suddenly and suddenly starts, without any warning during the turning point, as if it is not bound by inertia at all.
The feeling of being one with the wind and one with the clouds is stronger than ever.
It was as if he was no longer the person who performed Body Movement, but Body Movement itself, a free wind and an impermanent cloud between heaven and earth.
Time passes quietly during practice.
The sun is setting in the west, and the sunlight is gradually turning into a warm golden color.
Fang Han never stopped.
He performed <Windcloud Escape> over and over again. Every time he performed it, he gained a little more understanding and appreciation of this Body Movement.
Those changes that originally required deliberate control can now be achieved at will and at your fingertips.
He was immersed in the unprecedented joy of practice and forgot about the passage of time.
It wasn't until the setting sun dyed the horizon a magnificent orange that he finally stopped and stood in the courtyard, breathing slightly.
Fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and his green robe was soaked with sweat and clung tightly to his body.
But his eyes were surprisingly bright.
"Huh--"
Standing in the courtyard, he felt the Qi and blood in his body churning slightly due to the long-term use of Body Movement, and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
Using Wind Concept to assist him in training, the effect was more significant than he expected.
The deeper resonance with the power of "wind" between heaven and earth makes the originally difficult points become transparent and the originally stagnant transitions become as smooth as water.
He closed his eyes and recalled the insights he had just gained during practice, and had a rough estimate in his mind.
"At most one month."
At this speed, his <Windcloud Escape> will be able to reach Perfection Realm in at least one month.
This is naturally a good thing.
Once Body Movement breaks through the Perfection Realm, the speed and flexibility will reach a new level.
Coupled with Third Grade Early Stage's cultivation and the master level Sword Technique<Void-Sundering Sword Manual> that has reached Beginner stage, his overall strength will usher in a big jump.
"It's just..."
A faint worry appeared in Fang Han's heart.
After <Windcloud Escape>Perfection Realm, there is no way to enter.
At that time, if you want to continue to improve your Body Movement attainments, you will need to redeem the master level Body Movement.
To redeem the master-level Body Movement, one Major Merit is required, which is three workers.
But after redeeming the master-level internal energy <Azure Profound Art>, he now doesn't even have a Minor Merit in his hand.
"Three Minor Merit..."
Fang Han frowned slightly, standing in the courtyard with his hands behind his hands, watching the last ray of sunset on the horizon gradually being swallowed up by the night.
Credit is hard to come by, this is the consensus of the sect disciples.
It is rare for ordinary tasks to be able to give contribution points, and the tasks that can be given credit are all extremely important or extremely dangerous tasks.
Cloud Mist Mountain Range was so dangerous, but in the end it was given to two Minor Merit.
After chasing Black Crow Bandits, I tracked down East Foothills Prefecture, and killed three Fourth Grade Late Stage extreme warriors, but in the end I only got one Minor Merit.
After killing the sixth You Xin, Prodigy Ranking, the sect also only rewarded one Minor Merit.
It can be said that contribution value is easy to obtain but credit is hard to come by.
"But..."
Fang Han's eyes moved slightly and his thoughts turned.
Nowadays, the conflict between the Azure Profound Sect and Nether Pavilion has intensified, and the two sides are constantly fighting overtly and covertly.
Under this situation, the sect will inevitably have many tasks related to the Nether Pavilion distributed.
Among them, there must be tasks that require merit as reward, and it may not be impossible to accumulate merit quickly.
"As for the danger..."
Fang Han pondered for a moment, and his expression gradually relaxed.
With his current Third Grade Early Stage cultivation, and combined with Wind Sword Intent, ordinary Third Grade warriors would definitely not be his match, and he still has this confidence.
After the conflict with the Azure Profound Sect intensified, Nether Pavilion and most of Elder were restrained on various battlefields. There should not be many who could spare their hands to deal with him specifically.
As long as you don't risk taking on difficult missions that go deep behind enemy lines and narrowly escape death, the risk should be controllable.
"Go and see Mission Hall tomorrow."
With the decision made in his heart, Fang Han's expression became calm.
He turned around and walked towards the lit dining area.
Behind you, the night is getting darker, and a crescent moon climbs up the branches, casting a cool glow.
At night.
Azure Profound Sect mountain top, Sect Master's Hall.
The hall was brightly lit, and Chen Tianyuan was sitting behind the desk, flipping through the files that had not been processed during the day.
There was a gentle knock on the palace door.
"Come in."
Chen Tianyuan didn't even raise his head, and his voice was calm.
A middle-aged man wearing Deacon clothes pushed open the door and walked quickly to the desk, bowing and saluting.
This man has a good face, about forty years old, with a strong build and a pair of steady eyes. He is the one who has dealt with Fang Han, Sect Master's Hall Deacon Zhao Mu.
"Sect Master, there is an urgent message from Sky Swallow City."
Zhao Mu held a letter in both hands and presented it to the desk.
Chen Tianyuan raised his eyes, took the letter, and opened it.
The letter paper was unfolded, and there was a familiar handwriting on it - Wu Zheng Elder, who was stationed at Sky Swallow City industry.
Looking over, Chen Tianyuan's brows frowned slightly.
The content of the letter is very brief:
"The sect master personally announced: Nether Pavilion Elder Yuan Zhan raided Sky Swallow City's property. His subordinates fought with him and were seriously injured."
"Although the property is temporarily protected, my subordinates are no longer able to protect it. I am afraid that Yuan Zhan will come back. I sincerely ask the sect to send help quickly to prevent any loss. Wu Zheng pays my respects."
Chen Tianyuan put down the letter, leaned back in his chair, looked at the beams on the top of the hall, and fell into deep thought.
Yuan Zhan, Nether Pavilion Elder, Third Grade Late Stage cultivation level, among the Third Grade warriors, they are difficult characters to deal with.
He also acts ruthlessly and can be called a ruthless character.
Who is the most appropriate person to send?
Among Elder, most of the Third Grade Late Stage members have their own responsibilities, either guarding important places or performing tasks outside, and it is difficult to get away for a while.
And if Elder, who is of average strength, is sent over, he will not be able to intimidate Yuan Zhan.
Chen Tianyuan's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest, making a subtle clicking sound.
Suddenly, his eyes paused slightly.
A name comes to mind.
"Fang Han."
Fang Han Third Grade Early Stage's cultivation level is two small realms lower than Yuan Zhan, but he has comprehended Sword Intent that few warriors among Upper Third Grade have comprehended.
The power of Sword Intent is enough to make up for the gap in cultivation, and should be enough to compete with Yuan Zhan.
"As for the danger..."
Chen Tianyuan stood up and walked to the window with his hands behind his back.
Outside the window, the night was dark, and the lights under the mountain were dotted like scattered stars.
If jade is not polished, it will not become a useful tool.
Blind care cannot cultivate truly strong people.
