Chapter 3, Experience

The old man with a white beard cleared his throat twice to signal that all four had arrived

Only by entering the state of transformation can one learn some basic close-combat killing techniques

If one masters the combat techniques of this world, combined with the Sword Classic of Breaking the Heavens from a previous life, they will undoubtedly sweep away all experts of the same realm and may even challenge those of higher levels.

Zhou Huan was very pleased; he no longer had to endure the torment of the old man Feng. However, his poor senior brother and two senior sisters were still suffering under the old man's cruelty

All four expressed their willingness; they have learned some combat skills, but have never applied them in actual combat. It is still necessary to gain some experience.

On the Tian Gang Continent, there are primarily two major cultivation paths: the combat system and the magic system

Zhou Huan and three others immediately gathered and came before the old man with the white beard

If I were to simultaneously master the swordsmanship of two worlds, both my physical body and soul would become equally powerful, possessing lethal capabilities in both close and ranged combat, able to attack and defend, with no obvious weaknesses

Early the next morning, Zhou Huan arrived at the so-called "classroom," located beneath a powerful waterfall.

Thus, the four of them trained continuously for an entire day under the immense gravity

The Breaking Sky Sword Classic is the foundational cultivation method practiced by Zhou Huan in his previous life. It is the sect's sacred scripture of the Breaking Sky Sword Sect on the Xuanhuang Continent, and requires at least the strength of the Transformation Realm to begin cultivation.

Zhou Huan practiced in his residence for an entire night; for a practitioner, sleep is often considered optional

From that day on, Zhou Huan went to the library every day, practicing the Breaking Sky Sword Manual while also training in various close-combat techniques, and occasionally studying some formations that piqued his interest

The magician was astonished, and even Old Man Wind was taken aback. To effortlessly withstand a hundred times the gravity at the True Qi realm, this is no longer a mere genius; this is simply a prodigy.

However, Old Man Feng secretly rejoiced, as he had truly stumbled upon a treasure. With Zhou Huan's extraordinary talent, it was not impossible for him to win the championship in the academy competition three years later.

Time passed day by day, and Zhou Huan trained day after day

The academy indeed places great importance on geniuses; with such significant investment, my cultivation here will surely progress much faster than in the Tianxing Mountain Range

In addition to the white-bearded old man who brought him, there were only four people, including him.

Cultivation! I must quickly break into the Transformation Realm, and then I will be able to cultivate the Breaking Heaven Sword Classic

Among practitioners of magic, their status is far superior to that of their counterparts in the warrior class at the same level. A magician is highly sought after wherever they go. Every high-level magician on the continent is immensely wealthy, even rivaling the fortunes of entire nations

In fact, it is nothing more than running and similar activities, which seem to pose no difficulty for those who practice cultivation. However, the key lies in the fact that the old man Feng has invited two magicians to assist in the training.

The second day was still the same as the first day

Zhou Huan compared the swordsmanship of his past life with that of this world. In his past life, the swordsmanship he practiced was all related to celestial arts, focusing on the soul. Most of it involved using powerful spiritual energy to control his sword, casting celestial techniques from a distance to defeat enemies.

The boy's name is Wei Wu. He bears the same weight as those two girls, which is not overly strenuous, but it certainly is not pleasant either; it is just a bit better than what Zhou Huan and the others are experiencing

Let me introduce myself first. I am the Wind Sword Master among the four great sword masters of the academy. From now on, I will be your instructor for the classes. You may call me Teacher Feng

Zhou Huan has grown from a reckless child into a robust young man, and he has now reached the pinnacle of the Transformation Realm

Once war breaks out between the two countries, the terrifying power of a wizard is unmatched by that of a warrior. A great wizard at the Transformation Realm can easily annihilate tens of thousands of troops with a single high-level spell. Although warriors of the same rank are invincible among the army, they can only kill one by one, making their impact on the war significantly less than that of wizards. This is also the reason why the little wizard brought by the old black man looked down on Zhou Huan yesterday.

Zhou Huan was very satisfied; not only would his cultivation progress significantly, but also, given that he had many secrets, living alone was the best option.

However, the status of warriors is significantly lower, not because the combat system is weaker than the magic system, but because the area of attack for the combat system is too small

In the mainland, those who reach the Transformation Realm before the age of eighteen are considered to possess exceptional talent for cultivation, and if they achieve this before the age of sixteen, they are undoubtedly regarded as geniuses

However, he conceals his true abilities in public, as a tall tree attracts the wind; after all, it is quite extraordinary for someone so young to be at the Transformation Realm.

The college competition is about to begin soon. Would you like to form a team to practice?

The academy provides a three-year grace period for newly admitted students, which is also the reason why Zhou Huan was able to break through to the Transformation Realm at the age of thirteen. However, now that the three years have passed, he will face the harsh competition of the academy

The three individuals who came to the Sword Academy with Zhou Huan have also made breakthroughs, and all three are now at the Transcendence Realm, which has delighted Old Feng for quite some time

Experience is primarily about enhancing practical combat skills. If one possesses great cultivation but has never engaged in battle, it will be difficult to achieve victory against an opponent of equal level.

Cough, cough...

Among the four, two are seventeen years old, one is sixteen, and then there is Zhou Huan, this fifteen-year-old prodigy, which naturally makes the old man Feng laugh heartily.

The four of them spoke in unison. Harmony - Diagram - Book

A year later, Zhou Huan's body had become perfect, and he could no longer improve through physical training, so he once again sought to break through to the next realm.

First and foremost is the college competition, which every new student who has been enrolled for three years must participate in. It serves as an important indicator for the college to assess a student's potential

Although Zhou Huan possesses abundant combat experience from his previous life, the methods of fighting in this world differ significantly from those in his past, and he still requires further training

However, Zhou Huan has always been very low-key, spending every day either training or training.

One of the wizards directly cast a gravity spell on the entire venue. The two girls were momentarily caught off guard and nearly collapsed to the ground under the immense gravitational force. Gradually, they adapted, and the wizard slowly increased the intensity of the gravity spell until the two girls appeared to struggle a bit, at which point he ceased to further enhance it

Zhou Huan suddenly thought this way and quickly made a decision; he must complete all his studies

Firstly, it is because the number of students in the combat system departments is far fewer than that in the magic system. Furthermore, below the Nirvana realm, the magic system inherently possesses a significant advantage over the combat system

However, Zhou Huan possesses the experience from his previous life. He understands that this is indeed the case at lower realms, but as one's realm increases, the advantages of a warrior will become increasingly apparent

Alright, it is settled then. Tomorrow morning at the entrance of the academy, I will help you find a good team

On this day, Zhou Huan and the other three experienced the legendary devil training, leaving each of them utterly exhausted and in a disheveled state, with even the two girls not spared from the ordeal

The day quickly came to an end, and Zhou Huan was almost exhausted, collapsing onto the bed upon returning, not wanting to move again

The legendary Sanctuary Warriors, who were the transcendent experts of the previous world, could effortlessly annihilate an empire with a single sword qi. Their full power was enough to make the entire continent tremble, truly invincible

With the experience of the previous failure, combined with the powerful reserve of spiritual energy within, this time the breakthrough to the Transcendence Realm was very smooth and successful

Even someone as strong as Zhou Huan is utterly exhausted; it is likely that another male would fare better.

This bears similarities to Zhou Huan's cultivation in his previous life, as his Breaking Heaven Sword Classic also requires reaching the transformation realm in order to be practiced

In this world, however, the focus of cultivation leans towards the physical body, and nearly all sword techniques are methods of close combat, requiring a powerful physical body for support

It is evident that many people are going out today for training, all preparing for the college competition in two months, aiming to enhance their skills

According to Old Man Feng, before breaking into the transformation realm, they are all novice swordsmen, and the entirety of a novice swordsman's training consists of continuous physical training to strengthen their physique

The man appeared to be two or three years older than him, possessing the cultivation of the Qi Refining stage. Despite his young age, he was quite handsome, with a small sword mark between his brows. Those with extensive knowledge could immediately tell that he came from a family of swordsmanship.

The various divisions of the entire combat system have not won a championship for nearly a hundred years, and have almost all been monopolized by the magic system

The Sword System is a major branch of the Combat System training framework. It is said that over one hundred new students registered yesterday, yet only ten chose the Combat System, and among these ten, four selected the Sword Academy

In the words of Old Man Feng, the four of them are all novice swordsmen, focusing their training on enhancing physical strength, and thus various exercises to improve their physical fitness have been arranged

Well, very good, let's start the class now

Today, the entrance of the academy is very lively, with a number of people that is hardly less than when Zhou Huan registered at that time

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, three years have passed

Transcendence refers to the process of shedding the ordinary physical form. Once this state is achieved, one is no longer an ordinary mortal; they can officially cultivate certain special techniques and possess formidable powers that ordinary people can only admire.

Zhou Huan began to feel somewhat puzzled, but upon a moment's reflection, he quickly understood.

Zhou Huan could only confirm that one of them was at the Qi Refining stage, while the other was quite peculiar, with fluctuating strength, sometimes at the Qi Refining stage and at other times at the True Qi stage

Hello, Teacher Feng

Zhou Huan carefully observed his three classmates, making a total of two boys and two girls including himself

Two months before the start of the college competition, Old Wind summoned Zhou Huan and the other three together

Zhou Huan's breakthrough caused quite a stir in the academy. A thirteen-year-old who has reached the Transformation Realm is a rarity, with very few recorded instances since the beginning of the continent's history. The higher-ups of the academy also attach great importance to this matter

The other wizard was certainly not there to spectate; he was specifically invited by the old man of the wind to provide "special care" for Zhou Huan

This damned old man of the wind should actually be called the mad old man. With my powerful physique, I am actually this exhausted

Early the next morning, Zhou Huan arrived at the entrance of the academy

He also employed a gravity technique, but it was directed solely at Zhou Huan, and it continuously intensified until it approached one hundred times the normal gravity, at which point Zhou Huan began to show signs of strain

However, such training can indeed further enhance physical strength, which is also beneficial

As for the two girls, they are both slightly older than Zhou Huan, and they have been chatting and laughing as if they were sisters who had not seen each other for many years

One day, the old man Feng finally brought Zhou Huan to the academy's library, which housed various cultivation techniques, formations, as well as methods for alchemy and artifact forging. It also contained many insights from senior experts, all of which were things Zhou Huan urgently needed
