BAB 10 : Optimized Swords Skills

Lu Chen changed his outfit that's drenched by his sweat into a dry one, then went out into the courtyard. The morning light came down from the sky watering his robe.

"Let me test the power of that swordsmanship."

Holding the Water Breaking Sword, Lu Chen stood in front of a life-sized rock in the courtyard. He took a breath before trying.

"Whoosh!"

The sword shadows danced swiftly but gracefully. with one slash, a sword scratch appeared on the hard rock.

Seeing that sword scratch, Lu Chen sighed softly. The hard rock was like a piece of soft tofu against his Water Breaking Sword.

"No wonder all cultivators put so much effort into cultivating martial skills. The attack power of martial skills is just too effective. Not to mention that it's a basic martial skill.

"I can barely imagine how powerful a intermediate level martial skill, or even advanced martial skills, or even super martial skills. However, the Lu family doesn't seem to have any super martial skills. The skills developed by my grandfather are only advanced martial skills." Lu Chen felt the power and rarity of martial skills.

He suddenly felt a difference in his sea of ​​consciousness. That Qiankun Soul Seal seemed to move.

Lu Chen quickly calmed down and looked at his own sea of ​​consciousness.

"What's this?"

When Lu Chen saw the soul seal in his sea of ​​consciousness, he was shocked. Because, he saw a black figure emerging from that soul seal. After the figure of the black body appeared, he danced.

Upon closer inspection, Lu Chen discovered that the black figure was actually practicing a martial skill, holding a long sword.

"What? This, that martial skill practice is Wind Breaking swordsmanship!" Lu Chen was deeply shocked in his mind.

Lu Chen had mastered the first move of Wind Breaking Swordsmanship. Now when he saw the martial skill practiced by that black body figure, he naturally could recognize it.

"Something is different! This black body figure seems to have only practiced one move. However, this move seems to cover the seven moves of the first move."

"Gosh, that sword skill is so powerful!"

After watching it for a while, Lu Chen felt the terrifying power of the martial skill practiced by the black body figure. Although only one move, the power of this one move is far more terrifying than all of the moves he mastered.

"Is it this black figure who integrated all the first moves of Wind-Breaking Swordsmanship, taking the essence and throwing away the unnecessary movement?" His eyes rolled. After thinking about it in his mind, he suddenly understood.

When Lu Chen learned of this, he immediately started training with the black figure.

These moves look easy, but are actually hard to do.

It only took just over three hours for Lu Chen to cultivate the seven moves of the first move of Wind Breaking Swordsmanship. However, it took him three days to learn this move from the black body figure inside the soul seal.

Three days later, Lu Chen has completely mastered this trick.

However, Lu Chen is not discouraged because this optimized sword move is too powerful. He discovered that the power of this move was at least twice as strong as the original.

Wind Breaking Swordsmanship is a common basic martial skill. Not to mention all over Wind City, even within the Lu family, there must be many children who have practiced this swordsmanship. However, among these cultivators, no one could practice better than Lu Chen.

In front of that rock, he only performed a simple action. The sword didn't touch the rock, but instead left a finger-deep mark due to the intense energy.

Seven days later, the second move of Wind Breaking Swordsmanship optimized to form the second move.

A month later, the third move was optimized to form the third move.

It took more than three months for Lu Chen to fully master the entire Windbreaker Swordsmanship. This swordsmanship was optimized by the soul seals and formed into seven moves. These seven moves come together as one move.

"Today, I finally fully mastered Wind Breaking Swordsmanship."

"How powerful is a complete swordsmanship?" Lu Chen was curious.

Lu Chen stood for a while in front of the rock in the courtyard, then his eyes turned sharp.

Suddenly, Lu Chen begin to moved. a powerful energy exploded from the Water Splitting Sword. A terrifying light radiated. The energy shot into the rock, then there was no more sound.

However, he looked at the stone, not a single trace remained on it.

"What?!" Lu Chen looked at the rock again, but there really weren't any traces left on its surface.

"What's going on? When I just cultivated the first move, I could easily scratch the stone a finger deep. Why does it seem like there's nothing now?"

Lu Chen felt a bit nervous.

Just as Lu Chen is wondering if something is wrong, a crisp sound suddenly sounded from the stone.

Then, Lu Chen saw that the boulder was split from the middle.

"Bang!"

The rock that was divided into two halves fell to the ground, making a loud sound. A fine incision was revealed before Lu Chen's eyes.

"It's an extremely terrifying power." Lu Chen himself was stunned by this sight. He absolutely did not expect that the optimized Wind-Breaking Swordsmanship could explode with such terrifying power.

"Using this kind of swordsmanship, can I compete with cultivators in the Body Refining Realm?" Lu Chen started to daydream uncontrollably.

Most cultivators in the Body Refining Realm practiced ultimate martial skills. Most of them are unable to fully comprehend ultimate martial skills. Lu Chen had never fought a Body Refinement Realm cultivators before. However, he had seen Body Refinement Realm cultivators practice their martial skills. He thought that with just this move, he should be able to kill most of the Body Refinement Realm cultivators.

And he was only at the final stage of the Bone Refinement Realm.

After mastering the martial skills, Lu Chen didn't allow himself to relax.

He is already sixteen years old. In two months, there will be a Family Coming Up Ceremony.

In terms of age, Lu Chen's cultivation base is already a bit late.

The other people might have started cultivating earlier. So, he couldn't waste any time.

Even after several months of high intensity training in martial skills, he is exhausted. However, he could not allow himself to relax.

Thus, he started to refine Body Refining Pills.

Lu Jie, his ancestor, had taught Lu Chen how to make Body Refining Pill. After preparing the materials and equipment, Lu Chen started making them. This is his first time making a Body Refining Pill after becoming a cultivator. What's more this material is worth ninety gold coins. He must be careful.

Even though those ninety gold coins meant nothing to Lu Chen now, Lu Chen didn't want to waste these herbs.

Luckily, Lu Chen had a lot of experience in making Body Refining Pills before. This experience is still very helpful.

Four hours later.

"I did it."

Lu Chen carefully collected those Body Refining Pills.

"Finally, I succeeded. Now, I am an Intermediate Alchemist." Lu Chen's expression is ecstatic. To become an Intermediate Alchemist, Lu Chen wasted too much energy and materials. Waiting for this day, Lu Chen spent eight years. Today, he finally succeeded.

"Ordinary grade!"

"No problem. I have the method my ancestors taught me. I'm sure I'll be able to make a excellent grade Body Refinement Pill soon. Now then, there are ten ingredients left, let's continue refining!"

Lu Chen continued to fully refine the Body Refining Pill passionately

the second refining significantly faster than the first. It saves a lot of time. It only took a little over an hour, and the second bottle was made. This bottle is still of ordinary grade.

After the fifth bottle, that Body Refinement Pill reached excellent grade.

The next six through eleventh bottles were all excellent grade Body Refinement Pills. However, Lu Chen was unable to concoct a perfect grade Body Refinement Pill.

"Mr. Lu!"

After Lu Chen refined all the ingredients into Body Refining Pill, Lu Jie appeared in front of Lu Chen.

"I'm here." Lu Jie nodded slightly to Lu Chen.

"Maybe my talent for making pill is lacking. There are eleven pills. There is no perfect grade." Lu Chen shook his head.

"That still meets the qualifications. Don't be discouraged. After you often make Body Refining Pill of perfect grade, you can try making Marrow Refining Pill." Lu Jie glanced at the Pill and said otherwise.

Hearing Master Lu's comment, Lu Chen couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. Who is Mr. Lu? Master Lu is Lu Jie, the number one strongest person on the continent 10,000 years ago. He knows a lot. Since Master Lu said that Lu Chen barely qualified, then he shouldn't be bad.

In fact, although Lu Jie saying that Lu Chen barely qualified, he was very satisfied with Lu Chen in his heart. That said, Lu Jie never expected that Lu Chen's talent for refining pill was so high.

Before Lu Chen became a cultivator, he could make Bone Refining Pills. His talent for refining pill wasn't bad. And now it seems that his talent seems to be even higher than Lu Jie imagined.

Lu Chen had never successfully refined a Body Refining Pill before. This time however, when he made the fifth bottle, he was able to make Body Refining Pill with excellent grade. It could already be considered genius.

"Work hard and refined a perfect grade Body Refining Pill as soon as possible. You can try breaking through to the Body Refining Realm. Young man, you are too weak. Huh? Someone is coming!"

As soon as Lu Jie finished speaking, he disappeared from Lu Chen's sight.

Lu Chen guessed that Master Lu was usually hiding somewhere. He must be hiding in the soul seal in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Anyone coming?" Lu Chen looked outside the door. He hadn't heard any footsteps, but after one breath, he heard footsteps coming from outside the pavilion. After becoming a cultivator, Lu Chen's hearing had also improved a lot.
