Fourth-Tier Martial Skill, Blood Fiend Saber Qi

"The second floor has the most Tier 3 martial arts, with a few Tier 4 ones as well. Go left from the entrance and head inside. Hurry up!"

Ye Wuchen said quietly as he watched Lin Changkong head up to the second floor.

"Don't worry, Elder Ye."

Lin Changkong quickly went upstairs. He knew that while Ye Wuchen could give him special treatment, it couldn't be too blatant.

That's why he told him the location of the Tier 4 martial arts in advance, wanting him to save time.

Watching Lin Changkong's retreating figure disappear upstairs, Ye Wuchen rubbed his forehead and muttered to himself, "I deliberately told him where the Tier 4 martial arts are. I want to see how long it takes him to learn one."

Ye Wuchen did this for two reasons: firstly, he appreciated Lin Changkong, and secondly, he wanted to see just how strong his talent was.

Lin Changkong's cultivation of the Crimson Flame Blood Fiend Technique in half a day yesterday, advancing him to the Qi Gathering Realm, had truly surprised him.

However, the Crimson Flame Blood Fiend Technique was Tier 3. Today, he deliberately dangled a Tier 4 martial art in front of him, wanting to see if Lin Changkong still had the ability to master it so quickly.

If he could, then without a doubt, he had discovered an incredible treasure!

Of course, even if he couldn't, Lin Changkong's talent already earned his admiration.

Lin Changkong went up to the second floor and, upon entering, immediately walked to the left. Not far away, he indeed saw a bookshelf labeled Tier 4.

He walked over and saw that there were only four books on the shelf, clearly indicating that Tier 4 martial arts were also very rare in the Outer Sect.

"Giant Wave Palm, Overlord Spear, Blazing Fist, Blood Fiend Saber Qi."

Lin Changkong quickly scanned the four martial arts and soon had a basic understanding.

In terms of power, all four were similar, but he ultimately decided to choose Blood Fiend Saber Qi.

Blood Fiend Saber Qi had its peculiarities compared to the other three martial arts. This technique wasn't about cultivating moves, but about cultivating saber qi.

It allowed one to condense saber qi within the body and unleash it, capable of killing from a distance and causing widespread destruction with its overbearing power.

More importantly, Blood Fiend Saber Qi had the same attribute as his Crimson Flame Blood Fiend Technique, providing an amplification effect. Coupled with his Wind Breaking Saber, which had reached the Transcendence realm, the combined power unleashed would definitely be much stronger than cultivating the other three.

With his decision made, Lin Changkong immediately began to read.

Based on his previous experiences, Lin Changkong knew that once he finished reading, the system panel would automatically add the martial art. Therefore, he didn't need to understand it himself; he just needed to read through it.

His speed increased significantly compared to before, and it didn't take long for him to finish reading the Blood Fiend Saber Qi.

[Martial Arts: Eight Extremes Collapse Fist (Tier 1, Transcendence); Wind Breaking Saber (Tier 2, Transcendence); Blood Fiend Saber Qi (Tier 4, Not Yet Mastered)]

As expected, the Blood Fiend Saber Qi was now on the panel. He just needed to wait until tomorrow to collect the cultivation.

"Tier 4 martial arts are much more difficult than the Tier 2 Wind Breaking Saber, and the higher the realm, the greater the difficulty of improvement. We'll see how it goes tomorrow."

Lin Changkong thought this to himself, put Blood Fiend Saber Qi back, and went downstairs.

Ye Wuchen stared at him with wide eyes. "How so fast?"

Lin Changkong said with a serious face, "I'm a genius."

Ye Wuchen's lips twitched.

I think you're thick-skinned.

"Tell me, which one did you choose?"

"Blood Fiend Saber Qi."

"Blood Fiend Saber Qi is considered the most difficult to cultivate among those four. However, once mastered, its power is immense. You have quite the ambition. I'd like to see how long it takes you to master Blood Fiend Saber Qi."

Ye Wuchen's eyes lit up. He was genuinely looking forward to it.

Lin Changkong smiled, "Probably tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? Are you kidding me! This is a Tier 4 martial art, not cabbage. You want to master it in a day?"

Ye Wuchen wasn't disbelieving, he just couldn't believe it.

If Lin Changkong could truly master it in a day, it would be too terrifying.

Lin Changkong said, "No, no, Elder Ye misunderstood. I don't mean I'll master it in a day."

Ye Wuchen breathed a sigh of relief. "I knew you were bragging."

"I mean, I'm going to rest today and won't practice. I'll get up and practice tomorrow morning, so I won't need a full day to master it."

But before Ye Wuchen could fully exhale, Lin Changkong's next sentence left him speechless.

"Damn it, I really want to punch you to death!"

"Can you not show off?"

"I won't die if I don't show off, but as a genius, if I don't show off, what's the point of being a genius?"

Lin Changkong strode away, leaving behind a boastful quote and a twitching Ye Wuchen.

Outer Sect, Elder's Courtyard.

Luo Qingyi sat on a chair, looking at the two young people, a man and a woman, standing before her, both around eighteen or nineteen years old. Her eyes held much admiration.

"Luo Ling, Luo Xiu, I've called you here today mainly so you can deal with someone for your aunt at tomorrow's New Disciple Martial Competition.

This person's name is Lin Changkong. He was promoted from the Servant Courtyard. In the two days since he joined the Outer Sect, he's defied me multiple times. Do you understand what I mean?"

The man named Luo Xiu said, "Aunt, don't worry. This is a trivial matter. I'm already at Qi Gathering Second Level, and my sister has even broken through to Qi Gathering Third Level.

With my sister and me teaming up among all the new disciples this time, we are absolutely invincible.

Dealing with a mere nobody from the Servant Courtyard will be as easy as picking something up."

Luo Ling also said, "Exactly! I've heard about this Lin Changkong. He actually defied you, an Elder, in public. He's so arrogant and detestable.

It's just that Luo Xiu and I weren't at the new disciple meet-and-greet today. Otherwise, I would have broken his legs today, and there would be no need to wait until tomorrow."

Luo Qingyi nodded, a smile appearing on her stern face.

"With the two of you handling this, I am quite at ease. This Lin Changkong is somewhat surprising. He hasn't reached the Qi Gathering Realm, but he has trained his physical body to a level comparable to Qi Gathering Second Level.

I'm just being cautious, which is why I've called you both here."

Luo Ling said, "Body cultivation is ultimately a fringe path; spiritual cultivation is the true way. No matter how he hid his strength before, in front of me, he's still just trash. Tomorrow, I'll let him know that there's always someone stronger.

By then, I'll break both his legs. Consider it his apology to Aunt."

The smile on Luo Qingyi's face widened. Thinking of the miserable fate Lin Changkong would face tomorrow, she felt a surge of satisfaction.

In another disciple's courtyard, Liu Zhen stood before Zhang Qingfeng.

"Is everything arranged?"

Zhang Qingfeng glanced at Liu Zhen and asked with a cold expression.

Liu Zhen replied, "It's arranged. Among the disciples who joined this time, there are three at Qi Gathering Third Level. Besides Elder Luo's niece, Luo Ling, the other two are Zhong Li and Zhao Zheng.

I've secretly bribed both of them. Furthermore, I heard that Lin Changkong also defied Elder Luo at the new disciple meet-and-greet today and beat up two disciples who stepped forward.

Given Elder Luo's personality, she will definitely have Luo Ling deal with Lin Changkong. This way, the three strongest disciples are already on our side.

At tomorrow's New Disciple Martial Competition, Lin Changkong will either die or be permanently crippled!"

Zhang Qingfeng sneered, very pleased.

"Well done. A nobody from the Servant Courtyard deserves a fate of permanent disability. Lin Changkong, tomorrow, you'll realize that in the face of true strength, you're nothing!"
