Chapter 005: Swordsmanship

In front of the gate of the Starry Pavilion, there sits an old man casually, his gaze languid.

Lin Feng, who had made good gains, took two martial arts manuals to register with the old man at the guard pavilion

"Barbarian Bull Decision, a high-grade yellow-level cultivation method, suitable for those possessing beast-type martial souls to practice"

Sword Drawing Technique, drawing the sword like thunder, a single strike guarantees a kill, suitable for those who possess sword-type martial souls to cultivate

"You are truly fortunate; you have survived this." The youth was none other than Lin Heng, who had previously sought Lin Feng's life, and the eldest son of Lin Haoran

The Clear Wind Sword Technique, with a sword as light as the breeze, is agile and ethereal, penetrating every gap, making it suitable for those who possess a sword martial soul to cultivate.

In the Yunhai Sect, most boys aged fifteen or sixteen are at the sixth or seventh level of the Qi Martial Realm, which is considered average talent. Those at the eighth level of the Qi Martial Realm are regarded as excellent, while those at the ninth level can be called geniuses and receive special attention from the sect. As for martial artists who can reach the Spiritual Martial Realm at the age of fifteen or sixteen, they are considered top-tier geniuses throughout the entire Xueyue Kingdom

The Cloud Sea Sect is located on the main peak of the Cloud Sea Mountain Range, known as Cloud Sea Peak. Although Cloud Sea Peak is not the highest peak in the range, it occupies a vast area. From above, it appears like a city within the mountains, surrounded by the eight tallest peaks of the Tongtian Mountain. The feng shui is exceptionally good; in the Nine Heavens Continent, feng shui refers to fortune.

He smiled and nodded at the elderly man, and then Lin Feng left.

Lin Feng touched his head, harboring gratitude in his heart. The swordsmanship, if paired with a soft sword that can be hung at the waist, would allow for unexpected strikes, ensuring a lethal blow, significantly increasing the chances of success.

Lin Feng's gaze paused slightly; he yearned for the chivalrous life of wielding a sword and traversing the rivers and lakes, thus he harbored an indescribable sentiment towards swords. However, this set of Qingfeng Swordsmanship did not seem to be what he desired.

It turns out it is still due to status and strength, Lin Feng smiled. The mountain-guarding disciples of the Yunhai Sect are merely a formality, just like him, they are all outer disciples. If guests arrive, they simply go to notify the sect; they have no authority to stop anyone, they are merely doing menial tasks, let alone stopping the sect's disciples on horseback.

In contrast to those geniuses, if one is still at the fifth level of the Qi Martial Realm at the age of fifteen, it can only be said that their aptitude is lacking, making them the least gifted in the Yunhai Sect. As a result, Lin Feng earned the reputation of being a waste and was ridiculed by others

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow and pointed to the figure riding a horse into the mountains ahead, saying, "Why haven't you stopped him?"

Sword Drawing Technique. Lin Feng's footsteps came to a halt; this Sword Drawing Technique seemed different from other sword styles. What a swordsman least desires is the moment of drawing the sword, as it wastes time and affects the strike. However, the Sword Drawing Technique emphasizes that drawing the sword must result in a kill, and the sword must draw blood. At the instant of drawing the sword, its power is at its peak; a single failure to strike means defeat

Lin Feng does not need the martial arts techniques for the time being, so he mainly searches on the bookshelf where the martial skills are placed

"If there is a next time, I will strip you of your cultivation." Lin Feng galloped past, realizing that only by demonstrating strength could one have a say. The two mountain-guarding disciples got up, staring in shock at Lin Feng's departing figure, then revealed a bitter smile, acknowledging that even a waste was stronger than them, no wonder they were merely mountain-guarding disciples

Lin Feng cast a glance at Lin Heng, a cold smile forming in his heart. The latter was merely at the eighth level of the Qi Martial Realm. With his own cultivation at the seventh level of the Qi Martial Realm, combined with the ninth level of the Wave Technique, he was not at all inferior to the other. As long as he practiced one or two more martial techniques, he was confident he could defeat Lin Heng

I understand. Lin Feng knew that the other party was kindly reminding him that if he drew his sword inadequately, the swordsmanship would not only fail to achieve the goal of drawing blood, but would instead backfire, putting him in a precarious situation

The martial arts and techniques on the first floor of the Star Pavilion are all of the Yellow level, but there is a vast quantity. Here, one can find the most suitable martial arts and techniques for their cultivation. This is the foundation of the sect, which cannot be compared to the Lin family.

"The weak are meant to be bullied." Lin Feng let out a cold laugh, not only refusing to dismount, but instead flicking the reins, causing Qianli Xue to charge forward with a roar.

The old man's lazy gaze slightly sharpened as he looked at Lin Feng in surprise, then nodded at him: "In the Seventh Layer of the Qi Martial Realm, one can only select martial arts techniques on the first floor of the Star Pavilion, with a maximum of two sets."

The news of Lin Feng's return spread among the outer disciples of the Yunhai Sect. This 'waste material' had gained a certain level of notoriety within the Yunhai Sect. As he walked through the sect, Lin Feng observed the various expressions of the surrounding crowd, but he remained oblivious to them, heading straight towards the Star Pavilion of the Yunhai Sect.

The Starry Pavilion is the place where the Cloud Sea Sect stores its martial arts and techniques. Every day, many disciples of the sect visit the Starry Pavilion, and today is no exception

Seven Kill Fist, One Punch Seven Kills, suitable for practitioners who possess a system martial soul

It is good that you understand; if you are not confident, it is best not to use it recklessly. This fleeting technique is indeed a remarkable martial skill. The old man did not say much, helping Lin Feng with the registration. After all, the martial arts techniques selected from the Star Pavilion must be returned within one month, so as not to affect other disciples of the sect who wish to cultivate.

"Lin Feng." A voice called out, and Lin Feng halted his steps, turning his gaze. He soon saw a young man with a cold expression.

However, in these ten days, Lin Feng did not waste any time. He traversed the vast territories on horseback. In his previous life, Lin Feng had never experienced such a passionate feeling. Unbeknownst to him, his state of mind achieved a breakthrough, and he smoothly entered the seventh level of the Qi Martial Realm. Everything fell into place, and additionally, he cultivated the ninth level of the Martial Technique to its final stage, reaching the pinnacle of the nine waves!

Therefore, Lin Feng ignored Lin Heng and directly entered the Star Pavilion, intending to enhance his own strength before seeking revenge

Hurricane Slash, utilizing the power of the wind, transforms into wind blades for attack, suitable for cultivation by those who possess a wind martial soul

Hmph. One of them sneered, "What right do you have to compare yourself with the inner disciples of others, you worthless fool who almost got beaten to death"

"No need to thank me, old man can't handle it, go and cultivate instead." The old man smiled and waved his hand at Lin Feng, who was about to express his gratitude again.

"Senior." Lin Feng slightly bowed to the old man. Although the other party was merely a caretaker of the Star Pavilion and appeared quite unremarkable, the significance of the Star Pavilion was immense, and he was the sole guardian. This indicated that the old man was far from simple, much like the enigmatic sweeper monk in a certain television drama from Lin Feng's previous life, who was deeply unfathomable. With two lifetimes of experience, Lin Feng was certainly able to see through this.

Lin Feng flipped through the martial techniques in his hands, then set them down. His martial soul was a Dark Martial Soul, which could enhance all qualities of martial cultivation, including comprehension ability. Therefore, there were no limitations for him; he could cultivate any martial technique. This was precisely the perverse nature of the Dark Martial Soul, which is why he hoped to find powerful martial techniques.

"Waste, how dare you!" The two shouted in unison, attempting to intervene, but they saw Lin Feng strike with both fists, and in an instant, a surge of overwhelming power violently surged forth, directly sending them flying away.

Hmm. The old man nodded with a smile: "This soft sword can be used as a belt on ordinary days; it is of no use to me here, so take it and have fun with it."

The Yunhai Sect is located ten thousand miles away from Yangzhou City. Even though the Thousand-Mile Snow can travel a thousand miles in a day, Lin Feng still took ten days to arrive.

"Sword Drawing Technique." The old man exclaimed, saying: "Young man, this sword drawing technique is the first time it has been selected by someone. You must understand that if your opponent has already drawn their sword and you are still in the process of drawing yours, your speed will be difficult to surpass theirs. If your speed is insufficient, the outcome is already determined. It can be said that this martial skill is indeed powerful when mastered, but the requirements are exceedingly high. You must achieve perfection, surpassing any opponent, in order to strike with lethal precision"

Thank you for your guidance, esteemed elder. Lin Feng accepted the martial arts technique and then respectfully expressed his gratitude to the old man

This is it. Lin Feng sheathed his sword technique and then prepared to select a lightness skill. After all, while he could ensure a one-hit kill every time, if he were to fail, possessing good agility and martial arts would allow him to escape instantly, gaining precious time to recover. Moreover, techniques like Lingbo Weibu and flying over rooftops are the dreams of every person on Earth

Currently, Lin Feng possesses an immense strength of nearly 8,500 pounds, which is quite impressive

It has been a long time since I have seen such an interesting young person. The old man murmured, then returned to his languid demeanor. Nowadays, young people are solely focused on cultivating their strength, becoming increasingly restless, and have long forgotten the basic etiquette.

Understood. Lin Feng replied. The Starry Pavilion is divided into three levels, and disciples at the Qi Martial Realm do not possess inner sect tokens, so they can only select martial arts and techniques from the first floor

Moreover, the sword-drawing technique is not categorized into several levels like other martial arts; it consists of only one level, one action: drawing the sword and killing. Those who achieve perfection in this art will draw the sword and drink blood.

Lin Feng subsequently chose a set of martial arts techniques named "Flickering Light and Shadow." When mastered to the highest level, one can move as if they are but a flicker of light, appearing only as a shadow, with no visible form.

"Halt, dismount and proceed on foot." At the foot of the mountain, two disciples guarding the mountain blocked Lin Feng's path and said coldly

"Next time, I will ensure that you die beyond any possibility of revival." Lin Heng met Lin Feng's gaze, and a chilling murderous intent flashed in his eyes
