The sight of the large bluestone shattered by a single sword strike instantly filled my face with delight.
"It worked! This Daoist did it..."
I shouted excitedly, looking at the Evil-Slaying Flowing Cloud Sword in my hand with particular excitement.
After the brief surge of joy, I began reviewing what had happened, trying to grasp the state I had entered when I used the Thunder-Slashing Technique.
Then I swung the Evil-Slaying Flowing Cloud Sword several more times, attempting to activate the Thunder-Slashing Technique.
However, it did not succeed every time. I tried five times in a row and succeeded only twice, and the power of each strike was rather small.
This was directly related to the consumption of my own qi.
Including the first time I had used the Thunder-Slashing Technique, I had succeeded three times out of six consecutive attempts. That was already an extremely high success rate.
Starting tonight, I had completely learned the Thunder-Slashing Technique.
Next, I only needed to keep practicing it, enter that state each time, and master it.
At the same time, I discovered that using the Thunder-Slashing Technique consumed an astonishing amount of my own qi.
Even though the Thunder-Slashing Technique borrowed the qi of heaven and earth,
the expenditure required to activate and unleash it with my own power was still terrifying.
For now, I could only use it as a trump card or as an opening move...
I took a deep breath before putting away the Evil-Slaying Flowing Cloud Sword.
"I've finally got one foot in the door."
Filled with joy, I left the place.
After returning to the shop, I offered three incense sticks to Chuyang, then went back to the second floor.
Today was already the nineteenth. There were only three days left before we headed to Purple Serenity
