Chapter 5 [Sword Practitioner]In the room, Su Chen continued to comprehend the "Xuantian Dao Xin Jue". The ninth level of body refining is only the threshold to embark on the path of cultivation. After his body was re-tempered, Su Chen felt the benefits of practicing more clearly. Su Chen’s experience in the Yunyang Sect also made him understand the importance of cultivation strength. Some core disciples of the sect often only appear after they have successfully surrounded and ambushed the monsters. Then take action to kill these monsters. If we talk about stealing credit, they are the ones who are really stealing the credit. But did the sect say anything about them? Do other disciples dare to say anything about them? If you don’t have enough strength, all kinds of dirty and wrong things will be thrown at you. If one does not show his or her own talents and potential, even if he or she tries his best to protect the sect and the people behind him or her, he or she will only be labeled as "grabbing credit".
After this lesson, Su Chen will never slack off in his own cultivation again. At present, he can easily withstand the ninth level of training in "Xuan Tian Dao Xin Jue". His own strength had already reached the ninth level of physical refinement. The next step is to strive for the eighth level of essence refining realm. The ninth level of body refining is just the beginning. Starting from the eighth level, one can be considered to have truly entered the realm of martial arts practice. Monsters are ferocious and usually have great brute strength. People at the ninth level of the body refining realm usually find it difficult to deal with large monsters that can walk upright. In the past, when Su Chen faced big monsters, he mainly tried to restrain and dodge them. But after entering the eighth level, the strength of the body will be further greatly improved. Physical strength, power, and blood spirit all leap forward. At the eighth level of refining essence, one’s own strength will be far superior to that of ordinary people. Without hesitation, Su Chen began to practice his skills. According to what is said in "Xuantian Dao Xin Jue", he began to practice and gain experience. Suddenly, the severe pain in the body came again. When practicing at the ninth level, the body is also facing hammer blows. But at this moment, the challenges faced by those who want to break into the eighth level are several times more difficult. The fingertips felt like they were being hit by an invisible hammer. My hands and feet were twisted like a knot by a huge force. Severe pain burst out from all parts of the body almost simultaneously. In an instant, Su Chen's face turned red, and beads of sweat appeared on his back due to the pain.
Without much hesitation, Su Chen immediately activated the destiny of [Unyielding]. The pain finally began to ease, to the point where I couldn't even think. After gradually adapting to the training of "Xuantian Dao Xin Jue", Su Chen continued to practice. The eighth level realm is the gap between mortals and warriors. Although the Yunyang Sect is the number one sect in the Great Zhou Dynasty and its disciple selection process is strict enough, there are still many disciples who find it difficult to break into the eighth rank for decades. Of course, certain precious elixirs can also help people reach the eighth level. But how can ordinary people get these pills? Su Chen did not hesitate and continued to practice according to the "Xuantian Dao Xin Jue". At this moment, in addition to the severe pain just now, there was a lot of stinging pain. It felt like sharp thorns were stabbing my body back and forth. The severe pain lasted for nearly two hours. I don’t know if the pain has subsided or I’ve gotten used to it. The sheets on the bed were already soaked with sweat. Coming back to his senses, Su Chen slowly moved his body. There were no injuries left on the hammered body. Not only was there no pain in moving my body, but I felt more flexible than before. The eighth level of essence refining is where one’s body is truly refined into essence. It allows the practitioner's body to enter a state most suitable for fighting, and the whole person seems to have undergone a transformation. I have already entered the eighth level of Essence Refining Realm! No wonder those experts would spend a lot of time searching for this secret book in the back mountain. Thinking back now, those years of practicing in Yunyang Sect were simply a waste of time. The sect never thought about cultivating itself. In the eyes of the elders, I am not worthy of their training. If I think about it carefully, maybe the reputation of "stealing credit" was made up by the sect's top leaders. Su Chen came back to his senses and stopped thinking about it. I have already left the Yunyang Sect, and I should look forward. When I came out of the house, there were some baked steamed buns on the table. This is the food left for Su Chen. I ate five in one go, and my stomach seemed to feel a little better.
This appetite seems a little too obvious. There are many weaving workshops in the city, and A Niang and Xiao Mei often go there to work. While improving yourself through spiritual practice, you should also think about the road ahead and what you should do next. After eating something, Su Chen chopped some more firewood. After entering the eighth level of Essence Refining, the axe seemed to become even lighter. With a single wave of his hand, he could easily split the wooden stake. Su Chen judged in his mind that with his current strength, he should be able to fight against the big monster. It's not like before, when we could only escape and hide from the big monsters. After chopping the firewood, Su Chen sat for a while. He looked at the long sword he brought back and picked it up. In the small courtyard, Su Chen began to swing his long sword. Although he could use a sword, he did not learn it in depth and only learned some basic sword techniques from the sect. However, after his strength entered the eighth level of refining essence, his physique really became much stronger. He swung the knife out with such force that it was like a tiger pouncing on its prey. Keep practicing in the yard. When I was in Yunyang Sect, I would feel extremely exhausted after just one hour. But today, after an hour of study, it seems that I have just started to get my body moving. And suddenly, a line of small words appeared before his eyes again. [The blade is as sharp as frost, and it swallows up mountains and rivers. With a righteous heart, control the sharp blade and obtain destiny: the sword practitioner] Seeing these small words, Su Chen immediately retreated his mind into his sea of consciousness. [Sword Practitioner: Slightly improve the compatibility of sword and weapon, slightly improve the efficiency of sword skills, slightly improve the strength of sword skills] White destiny, a more ordinary destiny. No wonder the introductions therein all represent small improvements. After hesitating for a moment, Su Chen activated this destiny. At the same time, Su Chen discovered some changes. Before this, I could only activate one destiny. But at this moment, the two destinies, [Tenacity] and [Swordsman], were actually activated at the same time. It seems that as my own strength level improves, my mysterious ability is also improving.
If I reach the seventh level, can I activate three destinies at the same time? Su Chen had some guesses in his mind, but he couldn't get the answer immediately. [Swordsman] Now that your destiny has been activated, it is better to practice swordsmanship first. He tightened his grip on the long sword in his hand, as if it would be easier to use at this moment. The effect of improving the compatibility of the sword with the weapon is obviously small, but it can still be felt. He calmed his mind and his eyes became more sharp. He began to swing the long sword in his hand. Just now, the knife in his hand was more powerful, and could split the mountain with great force. At this moment, the tiger-like sword seemed to have a more agile momentum. The moves are obviously more fierce and easier to hurt the enemy. (End of this chapter)
