As the System's voice faded, a wealth of information about the “Three Feet Sword Enclosure” and the “Dripping Water Pierces the Sky Sword” appeared in Li Xuanfeng’s mind.
This information included how to Cultivate the two Martial Skills, their advantages, and their disadvantages.
It also detailed how to unleash their maximum power while minimizing consumption!
It was as if Li Xuanfeng had studied the two Martial Skills countless times, memorizing them perfectly, able to recite them backward!
And he even developed many of his own insights!
“This experience return is simply too valuable!”
Li Xuanfeng’s eyes sparkled with pleasant surprise.
“The return multiplier is thirty times, so it seems my involvement in this matter reached thirty percent.”
Li Xuanfeng mused to himself.
This level of involvement exceeded his expectations.
After all, he had only explained to Wei Qingyan and handed the two Martial Skills to her.
During this time, he didn't incur any costs at all!
It seemed the System’s judgment of involvement had some “premium.”
Soon after, the System’s prompt sounded again.
“Ding! Wei Qingyan practiced the “Three Feet Sword Enclosure” once, gaining some experience and insights. With a thirty-fold return, you have gained a large amount of experience and insights. Your “Three Feet Sword Enclosure” has successfully reached Elementary!”
The familiar sensation descended once more.
Scene after scene flashed through Li Xuanfeng’s mind.
In a trance, he felt as if he had practiced the “Three Feet Sword Enclosure” dozens of times himself.
Each practice brought him some experience and insights!
His proficiency with the “Three Feet Sword Enclosure” rapidly increased!
Until it reached Elementary!
Cultivating a Martial Skill, based on proficiency, is divided into Elementary, Minor Achievement, Major Achievement, and Perfection.
The higher the proficiency, the greater the power unleashed, and the more precise the control over consumption!
After a while longer, the System’s pleasant prompt sounded again.
“Ding! Wei Qingyan practiced the “Dripping Water Pierces the Sky Sword” once, gaining some experience and insights. With a thirty-fold return, you have gained a large amount of experience and insights. Your “Dripping Water Pierces the Sky Sword” has successfully reached Elementary!”
A large amount of experience and insights surged into his mind.
Li Xuanfeng had learned the “Dripping Water Pierces the Sky Sword.”
He picked up his longsword and went to a large rock, gathering the power within his body.
The next moment, he thrust straight into the rock.
Bang!
With a crisp sound, a clear hole was pierced through the nearly two-meter-thick stone!
“What powerful might!”
Li Xuanfeng couldn’t help but exclaim.
This was only at Elementary; once proficiency reached Minor Achievement, Major Achievement, and Perfection, the power would increase even further.
For the next five days, Wei Qingyan continued her secluded Cultivation.
However, this time it wasn’t to improve her Realm, but specifically to Cultivate Martial Skills.
Li Xuanfeng, meanwhile, reaped the benefits, as the proficiency of both Martial Skills steadily climbed!
“Ding! Wei Qingyan Cultivated the “Three Feet Sword Enclosure,” gaining a large amount of experience and insights, reaching the Major Achievement Realm. With a thirty-fold return, your “Three Feet Sword Enclosure” has reached Perfection!”
“Ding! Wei Qingyan Cultivated the “Dripping Water Pierces the Sky Sword,” gaining a large amount of experience and insights, reaching the Major Achievement Realm. With a thirty-fold return, your “Dripping Water Pierces the Sky Sword” has reached Perfection!”
In five days, Li Xuanfeng, without lifting a finger, had Cultivated two Human Rank Medium Grade Martial Skills, said to be the most difficult, to the Perfection Realm!
Although his Realm was temporarily stagnant, his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds!
“Having high talent is truly good!”
Li Xuanfeng couldn't help but sigh.
Compared to him, Wei Qingyan’s talent was like heaven and earth!
However, no matter how strong her talent, it couldn’t surpass his cheating!
“With both Martial Skills at Perfection, it’s time to go to the Hunting Garden for some actual combat and see what level my current strength has reached!”
Li Xuanfeng picked up his longsword and walked towards the Hunting Garden.
As one of the top Sects in the Great Yan Dynasty, Hundred Sword Mountain’s Outer Sect was also extremely vast.
To facilitate the Disciples’ Cultivation and hone their combat abilities, the Sect specifically designated a continuous mountain range to raise Yao Beasts.
This mountain range was called the Hunting Garden.
Outer Sect Disciples could enter it to hunt Yao Beasts.
Firstly, it could hone their combat abilities.
Secondly, the corpses of the slain Yao Beasts could be exchanged for corresponding Cultivation resources.
The Hunting Garden was roughly divided into an Outer Zone and an Inner Zone.
The Outer Zone was entirely populated by First Rank Yao Beasts, equivalent to a Cultivator’s Body Tempering Realm.
The Inner Zone, on the other hand, was populated by Second Rank Yao Beasts, equivalent to a Cultivator’s Spirit Aperture Realm.
In the past, Li Xuanfeng only dared to hunt in the relatively safe areas of the Outer Zone.
Today, he went directly to the Inner Zone.
......
At the same time, at Wei Qingyan’s residence.
“Now that both Martial Skills have reached the Major Achievement Realm, I can go to the Hunting Garden for actual combat!”
“Then exchange for resources and make a single Breakthrough to the Spirit Aperture Realm!”
When both of Wei Qingyan’s Martial Skills reached Major Achievement, the Sword Spirit’s ethereal voice once again echoed in her mind.
“With my current strength, killing a Second Rank Yao Beast by fighting above my Rank shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
Wei Qingyan said.
“Killing a Second Rank Elementary Yao Beast is definitely not a problem!”
The Sword Spirit said.
“Then let’s go directly to the Inner Zone!”
Wei Qingyan held the broken sword in one hand and the longsword issued by the Sect in the other.
The broken sword was the Sword Spirit’s vessel; she would not use it in combat unless under special circumstances.
The longsword issued by the Sect was a First Rank Spiritual Artifact, which was sufficient for her current use.
In the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, Wei Qingyan arrived at the Hunting Garden.
Amidst the repeated admonitions from the guarding Disciple not to rashly enter the Inner Zone, Wei Qingyan stepped into the dense mountain forest.
......
Boom!
A massive figure flew backward, snapping several large trees, and fell to the ground, struggling a few times before becoming motionless.
“This fellow is truly thick-skinned and tough-fleshed!”
Li Xuanfeng, holding his blood-stained longsword, walked up to the massive corpse.
This was a large black-furred bear, named Black Wind Bear.
It was a Second Rank Intermediate Yao Beast.
Equivalent to a human Cultivator at Spirit Aperture Realm Fourth Rank.
Li Xuanfeng initially didn’t use Martial Skills and fought very strenuously, even nearly getting injured.
He finally used the “Dripping Water Pierces the Sky Sword” to pierce its chest, then followed up with a kick, successfully killing it.
“My combat experience is sorely lacking. Facing an opponent whose Rank is higher than mine, I can only rely on the powerful might of the “Dripping Water Pierces the Sky Sword” to win!”
“To rely on rich combat experience for skirmishes, I’m still quite far off!”
Wiping the blood from his sword on the Black Wind Bear’s fur, Li Xuanfeng analyzed to himself.
Indeed, with powerful Martial Skills, one could fight above their Rank.
But if one encountered enemies with extremely rich combat experience, this method might not yield very good results.
In combat, grasping the timing of Moves, predicting the enemy’s Moves before they are made, and correctly responding to techniques are all very important.
Details and experience often determine success or failure!
Of course, pure overwhelming force was an exception.
“Ding! Wei Qingyan experienced a battle, gaining one battle experience and battle insights. With a ten-fold return, you have gained ten battle experiences and insights!”
The System’s prompt suddenly sounded in his mind.
Scene after scene of combat flashed by.
Li Xuanfeng felt as if he had personally experienced ten battles.
Each battle brought him experience and insights!
Regarding combat, he gained many new understandings and Experience!
“Wei Qingyan experienced a battle?”
“Could it be that she also entered the Hunting Garden?”
Li Xuanfeng felt a slight surprise.
