The fist technique Ye Yun had comprehended fell within the scope of a mid-tier martial art. Since he had comprehended it himself, there was no need to mention its compatibility with him; its martial arts realm had directly reached perfection.

The Ninefold Waves fist technique did not have many moves. Its strength lay in its method of exerting force—when a punch was thrown, nine layers of force followed in its wake.

This fist technique emphasized using momentum to overwhelm one's opponent. Before the fist arrived, its force arrived first. If one could not withstand the pressure of the fist force, then one was not even qualified to fight Ye Yun.

Moreover, as Ye Yun's understanding of fist force deepened, the fist force of Ninefold Waves would grow ever more powerful.

The progress he had made during this period left even Ye Yun feeling it was inconceivable. He secretly guessed that the reason he had experienced successive moments of enlightenment was most likely due to his special ability, but for now, he had no way to verify that guess.

With Ye Yun's current strength, if he faced the Blackwater Four Fiends again, he could easily wipe them out.

"Soon. You had better live well until the day I come to take revenge on you." At the thought of the Blackwater Four Fiends, a flash of Killing Intent passed through Ye Yun's eyes.

After finishing his fist practice, Ye Yun headed toward Cold Spring, following his daily routine to observe the wondrous natural spectacle of water and fire merging.

Although he could not see any effects in the short term, as the days and months accumulated, once he reached that critical point, transformation would naturally occur.

After another moment of enlightenment, Ye Yun had already gained some clues regarding the Entry-Level Fist Force Realm. However, when it came to the martial art known as the Selfless Realm, even after being tempered by two moments of enlightenment, he still felt as though he were lost amid clouds and mist when trying to comprehend it.

It was rather strange. Setting aside the fact that he had experienced two consecutive moments of enlightenment, after each one, Ye Yun felt that his comprehension of martial arts realms had become a little faster than before. Yet he had never heard that enlightenment could increase one's aptitude for comprehension.

Ye Yun had already grown indifferent toward such matters. No matter what, it benefited him, so there was no need to dwell on the reason. When the time came for him to understand, he would naturally understand.

Over the next half month, besides cultivating martial arts and observing the spectacle each day, Ye Yun added another task: going to the Cultivation Manual Pavilion to read low-tier martial arts and strengthen his martial arts foundation.

After becoming an inner disciple, the sect's control over low-tier martial arts was no longer so strict. Inner disciples only needed to spend some silver to freely browse them in the Cultivation Manual Pavilion. As for high-tier martial arts, one could only learn them by rendering great service to the sect or breaking through to the True Essence Realm.

Ye Yun also tried to merge the icy force of Ice Profound Force into the Ninefold Waves fist technique. If he succeeded, then the fist force of Ninefold Waves would become even more difficult to deal with.

Half a month passed just like that, amid peaceful days.

Today, Ye Yun woke early. After washing up and making preparations, he left his residence and headed toward the Mission Hall.

Because of his successive breakthroughs, Ye Yun's cultivation had entered a period of consolidation. It would be difficult for him to break through again in a short time unless he encountered some fortuitous opportunity.

Thus, during this half month, he had not only consolidated his cultivation, but also sorted through everything he had learned and transformed his former fighting style into his current one.

Ye Yun's current fighting style was simple: if one punch did not kill the enemy, throw a few more. If he found that he could not win, he would immediately flee.

After arriving at the Mission Hall and entering it, Ye Yun began examining the mission information displayed on the Image-Recording Jade Bi.

"Level One Mission: A low-grade second-level demonic beast has appeared in Big Ox Village. Go and kill the demonic beast. Information on the demonic beast is currently unknown. Mission reward: three thousand taels of gold. Time limit: complete within half a month."

"Level Two Mission: Go to White Mountain Town and kill the imperial wanted criminal, Ghost Blade Wang Meng. Target cultivation: Qi Refining Realm Fifth Layer. Mission reward: eight thousand taels of gold, two Qi-Enhancing Pills. Time limit: complete within seven days."

"Level Three Mission: Exterminate the bandits of Clearwind Stronghold. The leader of Clearwind Stronghold is at the Qi Refining Realm Sixth Layer. Under him are eight Qi Refining Realm martial artists; all the rest are Body Tempering Realm martial artists. Those below the Seventh Level of the Qi Refining Realm may not accept this mission. Mission reward: fifty thousand taels of gold, one mid-tier martial art. Time limit: complete within three months."

After reading through all the mission information on the Image-Recording Jade Bi, Ye Yun discovered that most were Level One or Level Two missions, while Level Three missions were few and far between.

After some helpless consideration, Ye Yun chose the mission to exterminate Clearwind Stronghold, which he had seen the last time he came. This mission was quite challenging for him.

However, Clearwind Stronghold was rather far from the Purple Extreme Sect, located over three hundred li away. It was not far from Blackwater Commandery City, though.

The Great Chu Dynasty divided its territory into three provinces and fourteen commanderies. The Purple Extreme Sect was located in Blackwater Commandery, under the jurisdiction of Mysterious Continent.

The entirety of Blackwater Commandery spanned roughly over three thousand li. On the surface, this area belonged to the Great Chu Dynasty, but in truth, it was all under the Purple Extreme Sect's jurisdiction.

Ye Yun turned and walked to the counter where mission registrations were handled. He handed over his identity token to the senior brother in charge. "Senior Brother, I wish to accept the mission to exterminate Clearwind Stronghold. Please help me register it."

Gu Feng took the identity token. Yet when he heard the mission this junior brother before him wished to accept, he could not help giving him another look. "Junior Brother, the mission to exterminate Clearwind Stronghold is extremely dangerous. Two inner disciples have already fallen on this mission. Have you thought it through? Would you like to choose another one?"

Seeing the senior brother handling registration advise him to give up this mission, Ye Yun smiled and thanked him. "Thank you for your kind intentions, Senior Brother. I have already considered it carefully. This is the mission I want; there is no need to change to another one."

Gu Feng looked at this unfamiliar junior brother, who had rejected his suggestion, and could not help feeling curious. "Since Junior Brother has made his decision, I shall not say more. You look unfamiliar to me. I am Gu Feng. May I know Junior Brother's name?"

"Senior Brother Gu, there is no need to be so polite. I entered the inner sect only a little over half a year ago, so it is only natural that I look unfamiliar to you. I am Ye Yun. Greetings, Senior Brother Gu." Ye Yun answered each of Gu Feng's questions.

"You are Ye Yun? Junior Brother Ye, the Junior Brother Ye who entered the sect only half a year ago and climbed onto the Hundred Strong Ranking?" Gu Feng looked at Ye Yun in surprise.

"Uh, if there is not a second Ye Yun in the inner sect, then that would be me." Under Gu Feng's fixed stare, Ye Yun felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"So it is Junior Brother Ye. In accepting this mission, I have made a fool of myself before you. Since Junior Brother Ye is going to exterminate Clearwind Stronghold this time, it seems Clearwind Stronghold is doomed beyond salvation." After confirming that the person before him truly was Ye Yun, Gu Feng felt that this mission was as good as secured.

"You flatter me, Senior Brother. I do not have much confidence in whether I can complete this mission either. I can only do my utmost," Ye Yun said to Gu Feng.

"Junior Brother Ye, I have registered all your information. Be careful yourself. Senior Brother wishes you success the moment you set out!" Gu Feng returned the identity token to Ye Yun.

"Thank you, Junior Brother accepts Senior Brother Gu's auspicious words. Then I shall take my leave first." Ye Yun bade Gu Feng farewell.

After leaving the Mission Hall, Ye Yun headed straight for the mountain gate.
