"Grandmaster's combat power..."
Fang Han whispered to himself, tapping his fingertips twice on the back of the chair.
That night's brief confrontation with the Dark Abyss master killer gave him a personal understanding of the master's strength.
Although his combat power has far surpassed that of Break Three Passes and he has gone a long way on this road, there is still a long way to go before he can truly reach that level.
Judging from the confrontation with the master-level killer, if you want to have the power of a master, you must either let <Great Void Wind God Sword> break through from Beginner stage to Minor Accomplishment.
Either let the cultivation level cross two small realms in a row, breaking through from Early First Grade to First Grade Late Stage.
Or let <Black Tortoise True Art> break through from Minor Accomplishment to the Proficiency Realm.
"<Great Void Wind God Sword> Beginner stage has just happened, but there is still a long way to go before Minor Accomplishment. It will be difficult to make another breakthrough in a short period of time."
Fang Han weighed it quickly in his mind.
"In terms of cultivation, even if you have the internal strength of <Greenwood Poison-Avoidance Scripture> and Middle-Grade Artistic Conception, it will take half a year to cross two small realms, and it cannot be achieved in an instant."
He paused and his eyes fell on his open palms, which were glowing with light gold.
"Only <Black Tortoise True Art>..."
More than half a year has passed since he broke through Minor Accomplishment. After this period of practice, he can clearly feel that this master-level Horizontal Training technique is not far from the next level.
It only takes two months at most, maybe even less, to break through to the Proficiency Realm.
"And the improvements will be huge!"
Fang Han recalls the secret content of <Black Tortoise True Art>.
According to the description in the general outline of the exercise, <Black Tortoise True Art> is pushed from Minor Accomplishment to the Proficiency Realm, and the physical defense will skyrocket to a level that is difficult to be injured by a grandmaster. Even if it is attacked by a grandmaster, it will only be injured at most but not seriously injured.
The physical strength will skyrocket, from 300,000 kilograms to one million kilograms.
Because all the muscles in the body have been strengthened, and the muscles that can be mobilized in battle are not just the arms, the destructive power that can be unleashed is not increased several times, but dozens or even hundreds of times.
Moreover, if his cultivation has reached First Grade Late Stage, he will directly break the "Jing" level among the three levels of Jing, Qi and Shen, and become a warrior who can break the physical level.
If your cultivation level has not reached First Grade Late Stage, when your cultivation level reaches First Grade Late Stage, you will naturally break through the "Jing" level among the three levels of Jing, Qi and Shen.
It can be said that as long as <Black Tortoise True Art> has been trained to the Proficiency Realm, for First Grade warriors, one of the three levels of Jingqi and Shen, which are extremely difficult for First Grade warriors, will immediately open the door to him.
"With strong defense and soaring physical strength, even a grandmaster is not unable to fight."
Fang Han has made a decision in his heart, and the next focus of his cultivation will be on <Black Tortoise True Art>.
However, he did not intend to put aside the cultivation of internal strength and Sword Technique because of this.
Due to the special nature of the Horizontal Training practice method, the daily practice time should not be too long, otherwise it will easily damage the muscles and bones, and the gain will outweigh the loss.
He planned to increase the daily training time of <Black Tortoise True Art> from one hour to three hours, shortening the training time of Internal Qi and Sword Technique, but not stopping the training of Internal Qi and Sword Technique.
My mind is set, Fang Han will not delay any longer.
He got up and walked out of the main room, went to the center of the practice field in the third courtyard, slowly assumed the training posture of <Black Tortoise True Art>, and took a pill of Vajra Pill.
"Boom--!"
Danyao enters the abdomen, and a hot medicinal power explodes in the body, pouring into the muscles and bones along the route of the exercise.
The muscles began to tremble slightly, and there was a faint sheen of Dark Gold flowing under the skin.
A fine buzzing sound came from deep within the bones, like countless invisible hammers repeatedly hammering every inch of the bones.
The difference from when Qingyang Prefecture was practicing was that Fang Han clearly felt that the training effect on the body was a bit faster than before.
It is as if some kind of precious medicinal materials have been added to assist Vajra Pill, making the Vajra Pill medicinal effect stronger.
Moisturized by stronger "drug power", the skin membranes of muscles and bones will transform faster, and every tremor of muscle fibers will be more powerful and faster than at Qingyang Prefecture.
"Heaven and Earth Origin Energy..."
Fang Han This thought flashed through his mind.
If there is any difference between White Cloud Prefecture and Qingyang Prefecture, it is only Heaven and Earth Origin Energy.
Heaven and Earth Origin Energy was born between heaven and earth. Only the master can absorb and refine the essence of heaven and earth.
He has not yet broken through to the master level, so he cannot actively absorb Heaven and Earth Origin Energy.
But in a more abundant Heaven and Earth Origin Energy environment, plants will be nourished by Heaven and Earth Origin Energy and grow more vibrant, and people will naturally benefit from Heaven and Earth Origin Energy nourishment.
Even if it is just passive moisturizing and cannot be actively absorbed, the benefits it can bring are huge.
Because of this, the effect of horizontal training will become better.
This is not only true in terms of Horizontal Training, but also in terms of cultivation.
Previously, when I was at Imperial Capital, my cultivation level improved much faster than when I was at Qingyang Prefecture.
"Central Thirty-Six Prefectures, what a treasure!"
Fang Han whispered to himself, then gathered his mind and focused all his attention on the cultivation of <Black Tortoise True Art>.
An hour passed.
Two hours passed.
The sun gradually sets, shifting westward from the top of the locust tree crown, and the sunlight casts longer and longer shadows on the ground.
Fine beads of sweat had already appeared on Fang Han's forehead, dripping down the chin and onto the bluestone floor. They were evaporated in an instant, leaving only a shallow circle of water stains.
Under the skin all over the body, the luster of the layer of Dark Gold becomes brighter and brighter, and becomes more and more concentrated, like fine iron that has been tempered and is shedding the last impurities.
At the end of the third hour, Fang Han slowly finished his work.
The tremors of the muscles gradually subsided, the luster of the layer of Dark Gold under the skin became restrained, and the humming deep in the bones also fell silent.
He exhaled a long breath of turbid air. The breath was condensed and not dissipated. It shot out several feet like an arrow, drawing a pale white trajectory in the air before slowly dissipating.
"Not a small improvement!"
Fang Han opened his eyes and looked down at his hands.
Under the skin, although the luster of Dark Gold has faded, the heavy and heavy feeling remains deep in the flesh.
Obviously these three hours of practice have made him improve a lot.
"At this speed..."
Fang Han compared the changes brought about by this day's practice with his previous practice speed.
The improvement is not small, and it is conservatively estimated to be 20 to 30%.
This means that what originally took two months to achieve a breakthrough may now only take more than one month.
"Central Thirty-Six Prefectures, it is indeed a treasure."
Fang Han said to himself, then shook his head, put aside these distracting thoughts, turned around and walked towards the main room.
In the days that followed, Fang Han lived in seclusion, occasionally going out to buy daily necessities and dining in restaurants. The rest of the time, he stayed in this courtyard and devoted himself to cultivation day after day.
Practice <Greenwood Poison-Avoidance Scripture> early in the morning to improve your cultivation.
In the morning, I practiced <Great Void Wind God Sword> to consolidate the realm of Sword Technique and at the same time improve the realm of Sword Technique.
The practice of <Black Tortoise True Art> started in the afternoon and was extended from the original one hour to three hours, filling up the entire afternoon.
Life is boring and regular, but Fang Han doesn't find it difficult.
The huge progress he felt every time after completing his exercises clearly told him that he was rapidly moving towards the level of a grandmaster's combat power.
The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the streets in the north of the city into a warm golden color. Fang Han locked the courtyard door and walked along the alleys towards the main street.
His face was still covered with that Human Skin Mask, his gray cloth robe was fluttering slightly in the evening breeze, and his waist was hung with Silver-Gray Longsword. He looked like an ordinary warrior.
He walked through the nearby streets for a while, and finally turned onto the main street where the restaurant was located.
This restaurant is called "River-Gazing Tower". It is a three-story wooden building with raised eaves. People are walking in and out in front of the door, making it very lively.
Fang Han stepped into the door and went straight to the second floor without stopping on the first floor.
There are a total of more than a dozen square tables on the second floor, and several of them are already occupied. The sound of changing cups and cups is mixed with the sound of conversation, and they go back and forth between the beams and pillars several times before they disperse.
He picked an empty table next to him and sat down, leaning his sword against the table leg. He asked the waiter to order two dishes and a pot of tea, then leaned against the back of the chair and waited quietly.
Sitting at the next table were four men dressed as warriors.
The four people were of different ages, some were middle-aged, some were old, and their faces were dark, like people who had been walking outside all year round.
Fang Han picked up the tea cup and listened to the man speaking in a low voice to the three people traveling with him:
"Have you heard? A top force named 'Tiger Roar Hall' was wiped out a few days ago."
A slightly younger and thin man at the same table put down his wine glass, the shock on his face had not completely faded:
"Tiger Roar Hall? Isn't that a well-established force in the north? It is said that Supreme Elder is already Grandmaster Mid-Stage, and he is also considered a figure among the masters. How can he be destroyed immediately?"
The muscular man picked up the wine glass, took a sip, wiped his mouth and said:
"I heard that I got into trouble with a top force called Star-Pattern Sect. Although they are both top forces, Star-Pattern Sect is obviously stronger. Not only does he have several masters, he also has a Top Grandmaster."
An older man in gray clothes next to him took over and said:
"In just a few days, Tiger Roar Hall was uprooted. Even Grandmaster Mid-Stage's Supreme Elder couldn't escape."
The thin man shook his head repeatedly and sighed in a low voice:
"This Central Thirty-Six Prefectures battle is really dangerous. In our county, the top forces are already the top ones, but here, they are just larger forces and there is a risk of being destroyed at any time."
"Central Thirty-Six Prefectures Although Heaven and Earth Origin Energy is abundant and there are many natural and earthly treasures, correspondingly, the fists of the strong are also harder."
The muscular man poured himself another glass and said with a wry smile.
"In an ordinary county, the top force with a grandmaster at its command is already considered the strongest force, and can guarantee that a force will be strong for hundreds of years."
"But when it comes to Central Thirty-Six Prefectures, the top forces are just slightly larger forces. Once they provoke forces that they cannot afford to offend, they will be destroyed overnight."
The old man in gray clothes nodded and said no more.
The muscular man took another sip of wine, as if he wanted to swallow those emotions together.
Fang Han listened to the conversation of several people, with a calm expression on his face, but he couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart.
In Qingyang Prefecture, Seven Sects were already considered to be the top-level existences, but here, the top forces are just slightly larger than ordinary forces.
Thinking that a force like Tiger Roar Hall, with Grandmaster Mid-Stage as a powerful man in charge, and possibly a force stronger than Azure Profound Sect, could be wiped out like this, he felt a chill in his heart.
Central Thirty-Six Prefectures is indeed rich in resources, but the competition is obviously more intense, and even the top forces are often destroyed.
The waiter carried the tray upstairs, placed the dishes ordered by Fang Han in front of Fang Han, and poured him a glass attentively.
Fang Han picked up the chopsticks and ate slowly.
The muscular man and the others drank a few more drinks, and the conversation gradually turned to another matter.
This time it was the thin man who spoke first. He suppressed his voice, but his tone was a bit eager to try:
"Have you heard? Someone found Mid-Grade Heavenly Treasure inside Misty Forest."
