After chatting for a while, Zhang Haoran took out four bottles of liquor. Of course, the outer packaging didn't reveal anything, but there were the words 'Personal Delivery' on them, which meant that the contents might not actually be liquor. He asked his Fourth Uncle to re-package them and deliver them.
Fourth Uncle didn't ask what exactly was inside; Zhang Haoran would tell him what he needed to know. If he didn't say, then it meant he didn't need to know.
After seeing Fourth Uncle off, he practiced his sword for a while, always feeling that Li Changsheng's set of swordplay lacked something.
He opened the System Mall and searched for Basic Sword Technique. The result surprised him; there was only one Basic Sword Technique.
Zhang Haoran thought that with so many worlds, there should be at least ten or twenty Basic Sword Techniques.
However, only one Basic Sword Technique was found, and its price was incredibly high: 470 Value Points.
One should know that a Low-level Martial Arts School is only 50 Value Points, an Intermediate Martial Arts School is 200 Value Points, and an Advanced Martial Arts School is 500 Value Points.
This Basic Sword Technique was almost as expensive as an Advanced Martial Arts School. Suddenly, Zhang Haoran had an idea: could it be that all Basic Sword Techniques had been consolidated into one?
Whether it was or not, he would know by trying. He chose to sell the Basic Sword Technique he possessed. The System's acquisition price was 300 Value Points.
Zhang Haoran immediately chose to sell it. Then, looking at the Basic Sword Technique in the System Mall, its price had already risen to 500 Value Points.
It was the same price as an Advanced Martial Arts School. It was just as he had expected.
However, what surprised him most was that his own Basic Sword Technique could sell for 300 Value Points.
One must know that the reason Zhang Haoran had never sold these Basic Martial Arts Schools before was because he thought they might sell too cheaply, and the total wouldn't amount to much money, so he didn't bother.
He immediately contacted the System and sold all the Basic Martial Arts Schools he had, including the Stake Cultivation Technique and Tempering Method.
Including the Basic Sword Technique, he sold them for a total of 3600 Value Points.
Zhang Haoran now possessed 12600 Value Points.
The money spent on the badge earlier was completely recovered.
He then spent 500 Value Points to buy a Basic Sword Technique.
Cultivation Techniques purchased in the System Mall are directly transmitted into one's mind.
After the transmission, he rubbed his temples. The knowledge transmitted this time was truly extensive.
Fortunately, with the badge, the assistance for reading and understanding was immense.
Zhang Haoran closed his eyes and carefully organized the information transmitted into his mind.
He tried his best to understand and fully grasp it. When he felt he had understood most of it, the rest was practice.
This time, Zhang Haoran remembered Lü Fengrou's instructions.
First, he practiced Chang Sheng Swordplay in the Martial Arts Arena for a while, consuming a portion of his Qi and blood.
Then, he restored his Qi and blood to 270 points, took his sword, and walked out.
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Haoran walked directly towards the New Student Training Ground.
Sometimes, the more you try to hide something, the more curious others become.
When he arrived at the New Student Training Ground, there weren't many people yet.
Zhang Haoran drew his chang sheng sword and practiced the Basic Sword Technique. Although the Basic Sword Technique he was practicing now was different from the one he had previously achieved Major Achievement in, if you only looked at the posture, the difference wasn't very significant.
Therefore, Zhang Haoran dared to practice openly in front of his classmates.
Although the newly learned Basic Sword Technique was much stronger than the original Basic Sword Technique, Zhang Haoran had, after all, already practiced the Basic Sword Technique to Major Achievement before. Now, he was slowly familiarizing himself and adapting.
Gradually, the new Basic Sword Technique also approached Minor Achievement.
The more he practiced, the more he felt his swordplay foundation becoming more solid. His understanding of swordplay also deepened, making it easier to practice other swordplay techniques.
At this time, some classmates watched him practice, finding it somewhat familiar yet different.
They came to him to spar in swordplay. Zhang Haoran put his precious sword into his waist, picked up a wooden sword specifically for the training ground, and sparred with this classmate.
The result disappointed him. He had tried his best to hold back, but this classmate still couldn't last ten moves against him.
Basic Martial Arts School is not a combat technique. Don't they practice properly?
However, no sooner had he defeated this classmate than other classmates came up to spar.
This made Zhang Haoran overjoyed. One should know that finding someone to spar with in the Martial Arts Arena costs money.
During each sparring session, he tried his best to control himself so that the opponent wouldn't be defeated too quickly.
At this moment, a few third-year seniors arrived. Their Basic Cultivation Techniques had all reached Major Achievement. Now, sparring became interesting.
Zhang Haoran used the newly learned Basic Sword Technique to spar with them, but he tried his best to control himself.
When exchanging blows with the opponent, he was basically evenly matched, slightly at a disadvantage.
This allowed them to fight for a longer time. This senior also noticed that the Basic Sword Technique Zhang Haoran was using was somewhat different from what was taught at the university.
But this was not surprising; the Sect World still existed, and it was normal for the Basic Martial Arts School of various sects to differ.
Both of them used the Basic Sword Technique, and the fight was inextricable. Zhang Haoran enjoyed his practice very much.
This senior also enjoyed the fight very much. Neither of them mobilized much Qi and blood. It was purely a competition of foundation and understanding of swordplay.
It must be said that this senior was truly formidable. Even if Zhang Haoran didn't suppress himself and fully unleashed his Basic Sword Technique, he wouldn't necessarily gain much advantage.
However, he still needed to suppress himself a bit, allowing the opponent to gain some upper hand. After all, he didn't know the opponent's personality. What if they fought to a draw, and the opponent felt embarrassed and refused to practice with him anymore?
The two of them practiced for over an hour. Although they only occasionally used Qi and blood, their Qi and blood were not abundant to begin with. The opponent was only a second-rank Martial Artist, and his Qi and blood might not be much more than Zhang Haoran's.
By this point, both of them looked a little pale. Their Qi and blood were visibly dropping below 100, so they stopped.
He saluted the opponent with a Martial Dao bow: "My name is Zhang Haoran. Thank you for your guidance, Senior."
The third-year senior waved his hand and said, "My surname is He. You can just call me Senior He. I'm not in good form today. Let's spar again when we have time."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Haoran understood that the opponent hadn't been able to defeat him and felt a bit embarrassed as a senior.
It seemed his strategy was correct, but today's session would end here.
This made Zhang Haoran feel a great pity. His Basic Sword Technique had just reached Minor Achievement and hadn't been thoroughly stabilized yet.
He returned to his dormitory. He entered the Martial Arts Arena again and reviewed all the Martial Arts School he had learned.
Today, there was an important task: to combine Chuō Jiǎo and Shadowless Kick.
Now, both Martial Arts Schools had reached Major Achievement. If they could be combined, with the speed of Shadowless Kick and the attack power of Chuō Jiǎo, then his Chuō Jiǎo attack would rise to a new level.
This was the most basic combination of speed and power.
He practiced until late into the night. Although he was able to combine them, the combination was very crude, merely stitched together.
The next morning, Zhang Haoran called Lü Fengrou, saying he had questions to ask.
Lü Fengrou set the location by the sea in the Magic Martial Arts University South District, a sparsely populated area.
As soon as Zhang Haoran arrived, he saw Lü Fengrou practicing Seven Stars Steps.
After saluting, he watched Lu Fengrou practice while reciting the incantation for the Seven Star Step's force application and Qi movement.
