Wind-Riding Sword Control Art!

Qi Da's words took Chu Yuan by surprise.

He had assumed that given how Qi Da handled the situation, he was the type to smooth things over, yet he never expected such a conclusion from him.

Qi Da seemed to perceive his confusion, smiling as he said, "We martial artists have always relied on strength to speak. Otherwise, why would everyone work so hard to cultivate?

That bastard Li Chen has a good background. If not for that, this incident alone would have been enough for me to kick him out... That is the strength of his Li Family.

Unfortunately, the Li Family's strength is still not strong enough."

Chu Yuan also smiled. "In that case, my strength is even less sufficient."

"The deterrent of a Super-Tier Support Quota is enough."

Chu Yuan nodded. "I need two martial arts techniques and a set of Energy Gathering Array."

"Martial arts are fine, but the Energy Gathering Array is not."

"Fine."

On his way back to class, Chu Yuan passed by Class One and glanced inside through the window.

A somewhat unfamiliar figure was leaning against the window, cultivating.

Seeming to sense his gaze, the person looked up.

Graceful, arrogant, and completely out of place.

The look he gave Chu Yuan was as if he were staring at something filthy, filled with contempt and disdain.

The moment he saw Li Chen, Chu Yuan understood why Li Chen had sent Zhou Zhe to cause him trouble.

Perhaps he had heard that Chu Yuan had completed Marrow Cleansing as soon as he began practicing the Essence Tempering Technique and felt that such martial talent shouldn't exist in a commoner like him.

Or perhaps, he simply enjoyed the thrill of humiliating a commoner genius... After all, there would be no price to pay, right?

It was a sickness—the sickness of those born into wealth.

Those afflicted with this disease saw only social classes in their eyes, never their own kind.

They believed they were born superior, forgetting that the martial arts masters who founded their families had also risen from humble beginnings.

Chu Yuan only had a passing understanding of this mindset, but he had no intention of dwelling on it.

He remained silent for a moment, meeting Li Chen's gaze, his lips moving slightly:

"Trash."

Li Chen's expression turned gloomy instantly, his eyes practically spitting fire...

That night, Chu Yuan carefully studied a martial arts technique on his Martial Artist Terminal, occasionally picking up his long sword to practice a few moves.

Even without the incident with Li Chen, he had wanted to start practicing techniques as soon as possible.

It was just that because of this matter, Qi Da had been easier to talk to.

One sword technique, one movement technique.

The former was for offense, the latter for defense.

The sword technique was called Gale Sword, swift and violent, with astonishing lethality!

The entire manual consisted of nine forms, with increasing difficulty. The first sword form, Wind and Fire Scorching the Plains, was already several times harder to master than the Essence Tempering Technique.

Even with the greatly increased comprehension Chu Yuan gained after embarking on the path of immortality, it still took him a full hour to get started.

Fortunately, he didn't need to learn the entire manual; once he mastered the first form, the system provided a response.

[Detected that the host has learned the technique Gale Sword;
System conversion in progress...
Converted to Wind-Riding Sword Control Art!
Daily conversion limit: 0!]

A stream of information, far more complex than the Evergreen Foundation Establishment Method, appeared out of thin air in Chu Yuan's mind.

Struck by this torrent of data, his head throbbed with pain, and the veins on his temples began to pulse.

However, painful as it was, it was worth it!

A moment later, Chu Yuan's eyes gleamed with joy and eagerness.

With a flick of his finger and a flow of mana, the steel long sword he had spent several hundred on earlier that day seemed to come to life, hovering steadily before him.

Yet, feeling the drain of mana within his body, Chu Yuan felt a touch of regret.

Flying on a sword would still take some time.

It had nothing to do with the technique; it was purely because his realm was insufficient, and the sword itself was not up to the task.

The Wind-Riding Sword Control Art didn't have nine forms like the Gale Sword; it was simple, consisting of only three levels.

Level One: Control! This was what Chu Yuan could do now—manipulating a Flying Sword to engage an enemy.

Second level: Swift! It allows the Flying Sword to gain explosive speed and lethality!

Third level: Wind Chant!

Compared to the unremarkable performance of the first two levels, this level possessed a touch of the demeanor of a true cultivator.

According to the description in the technique, once this move is unleashed, the Sword Qi is like the wind, gathering and dispersing without form! It can attack and kill enemies from inconceivable angles, and its power is enough to slice through metal and jade!

However, it still requires practice...

After calming his excitement slightly, Chu Yuan turned his attention back to the movement technique manual.

Although he had no more conversion attempts left for today, he could learn it now so he could convert it directly tomorrow.

After reading it a few times, Chu Yuan had already grasped some of the essential points, but the bedroom was too cramped for dodging and maneuvering.

After a moment of thought, he stepped out on tiptoe and went downstairs...

In a corner of the park, Chu Yuan looked around.

It was dark and deserted, and the nearest surveillance camera was hundreds of meters away, not even pointed in this direction.

It was truly a good place for doing secret things.

He did not rush to practice the movement technique, but instead began to familiarize himself with his Wind-Riding Sword Control Art again.

His mana controlled the long sword to rotate around him, like a big boy who had just received a favorite toy.

Suddenly, a cold light pierced toward the treetop, and as the branches and leaves swayed, a large patch of leaves was sliced down, fluttering through the air...

Chu Yuan tested it; his current maximum control range for the long sword was three hundred meters.

Beyond this distance, the speed of the long sword would drop drastically!

Furthermore, his mana would become sluggish, making it nearly impossible to recall...

But it was enough.

In a battle against a martial artist, let alone three hundred meters, even thirty meters would be an insurmountable chasm!

No matter how skilled you are, I shall break it with raw power, break it with speed!

Even if you can block what is in front of you, can you also block what is behind you?

What's more, as his realm improved and his mastery of the Wind-Riding Sword Control Art deepened, this distance would continue to increase.

Perhaps one day, taking a head from a thousand miles away with a flying sword would be nothing more than a common occurrence...

After a brief thought, the sword he had was definitely not good enough; he needed to replace it.

The one he had bought casually was just a common industrial product—plainly speaking, a strip of steel—and had no value for conversion.

Since he was going to convert it, he naturally needed to buy a useful one, a weapon exclusive to martial artists.

However, such weapons were generally very expensive, and Chu Yuan had no money...

If he could sell the resources rewarded by the school, the problem would naturally be solved.

But the resources rewarded by the school all bore official marks left by unique methods, and no one dared to accept them.

This was also a form of protection for martial arts seeds from the authorities.

They were just common, low-level Martial Arts Pills, so no one in that business would touch such a hot potato...

Wait...

The Martial Arts Pills in his possession were sponsored by the Li Family behind Li Chen! They did not have the official exclusive marks...
