Chapter 87

n

n

nIn just a blink of an eye, it had already been 2 years since Li Fuchen entered the Cang Lan Sect.

n

nIn the outer sect, huge quantities of geniuses arrived at the Cang Lan Sect everyday to participate in the outer secr trials.

n

nThinking about it, Yunwu City's genius contest was about to start soon.

n

nBut Li Fuchen couldn't be bother to know which genius from Yunwu City would enter the Cang Lan Sect, nor was he interested which of the 4 major clans these geniuses would come from. He was engrossed in his own world.

n

nOn one of the Cang Lan mountain ranges, a group of horsemen were galloping on it.

n

nOn the horsebacks, except for a blue robed elder and the groups of youths, there were 3 other youths.

n

nOne of them was a pretty lass who wore red clothing and was looking about, filled with curiosity and excitement.

n

nThis red clothed young lass was actually Guan Mei.

n

nShe who was of the same age as Li Fuchen, had 1 star bone frame. Normally a 1 star bone frame had no chance of achieving top 5 in the genius contest.

n

nBut for every city, there would be times when it was filled with geniuses and times when it was not.

n

nThe genius contest which had Li Fuchen, was known as the cream of the crop for the past decade in Yunwu City.

n

nThere was Li Fuchen the unprecedented normal bone frame who broke all logic.

n

nThere were two, 3 star bone frames, Zhu Hongxiu and Yang Kai. Before their appearance, there was basically no other 3 star bone frames in the past contests.

nWhat's more, there was also Guan Xue who didn't even participate in the genius contest, but was a prodigy who had a 4 star extraordinary bone frame.

n

nFor this year's genius contest, there were only 3 qualifiers. The Guan Clan took 1st, Yang Clan took the other spot, and the last spot went to a young man named Zhu Xiaoming.

n

nZhu Xiaoming was Zhu Hongxiu's cousin and was also this year's only 2 star bone frame from Yunwu City.

n

nThe blue robed elder turned back to look at the three. He shook his head, as he knew that out of the three, only Zhu Xiaoming had slight chances to become an outer sect disciple, the others could only become odd job disciples.

n

nOdd job disciples belonged to the lowest status tier in the Cang Lan Sect.

n

nOn average, out of every 100 odd job disciples, only 1 would have the hope to become an outer sect disciple.

n

nThe rest would have to slowly progress and wait until they breaking through to the Origin Realm and converted to inner sect odd job disciples.

n

nOnce inner sect odd job disciples raised their cultivation to a certain level, they could enter the Cang Lan army.

n

nWhat the Cang Lan army is, is really just the Cang Lan Sect's military forces. If there were any sect wars, the Cang Lan army would be the sect's frontline.

n

nEven though it is dangerous, but during life and death situations, martial artists would normally experience breakthroughs. There were cases of odd job disciples, where after joining the Cang Lan army, their cultivation constantly broke through and were promoted to an officer rank in the Cang Lan army.

n

nIn short, the road of an odd job disciple was long and tedious. Without any eventful encounter, your life would be spent as a nobody.

n

nMost of the disciples couldn't accept this kind of life and opted out to return to their clans.

n……

n

nAll the commotion that happened in the outer sect, didn't affect a single thing in the inner sect.

n

nAs time flew by…

n

nAmidst a forest in the middle portion of the mountain.

n

nAn afterimage, just like a spirit was transversing among the trees. When ever the shadow was about to fall, it would deftly jump off the finger width branch with the tip of its toes.

n

nSwish!

n

nThere was a sudden burst of speed and Li Fuchen appeared on the ground surface instantaneously.

n

n

"Worthy to be called a light body technique. It took me four months just to cultivate Wind Shadow Steps to the third rank.

"

n

nWind Shadow Steps had a total of six ranks.

nFirst rank: Novice stage

nSecond rank: Sub-completion stage

nThird rank: Completion stage

nFourth rank: Sub-perfection stage

nFifth rank: Perfection stage

nSixth rank: Trance stage

nAs a mystic class, low-tier light body technique, Wind Shadow Steps was harder to master by a few folds when compared to mystic class, low-tier martial arts. Not only did one need to have the perception and also be able to grasp the essence of the technique, one also needed to open up the relative meridians.

n

nLi Fuchen who reached the third rank of Wind Shadow Steps in just four months, was actually an astounding progress.

nOn average, inner sect disciples required at least 1 or 2 years before reaching the second rank of any mystic class, low-tier light body technique.

n

nIn order to attain the third rank, an inner sect disciples would at least take 5 years.

n

nWith Wind Shadow Steps withdrawn and the Scarlet Mystic Flame Technique revolving, Li Fuchen's right hand was as though coated with a layer of flammable liquid, providing fuel for the blazing scarlet fire qi.

n

nCrush!

n

nWith a palm strike on the thick tree…

nHitting it squarely in the middle of the tree, it bursted into flames.

nIn these four months, Li Fuchen naturally didn't just improved Wind Shadow Steps.

nHis main cultivation technique, the Scarlet Mystic Flame Technique surprisingly went up to the tenth rank.

n

nIf the Scarlet Mystic Flame Technique had maintained the pace of progress like during the Qi Realm, Li Fuchen would have required at least one year before reaching the tenth rank.

n

nBut the now cannot be compared with the before.

n

nDuring the Qi Realm, it was much more difficult to cultivate the mystic class, mid-tier Scarlet Mystic Flame Technique, due to the restrictions on Li Fuchen's perception.

n

nBut once at the Origin Realm, Li Fuchen's foundation had met the minimum requirement to cultivate the Scarlet Mystic Flame Technique.

n

nAs the level of one's cultivation realm increased, it would help to boost the efficiency of the cultivation.

n

nBut of course, during the later stages of the Scarlet Mystic Flame Technique, it would get much tougher to cultivate too. Both factors would advance concurrently.

n

nLosing all sense of time, Li Fuchen was deeply engrossed in his state of cultivation. He couldn't be bothered with anything else.

n

nHe wasn't intending to go earn contribution points just yet.

nEarning contribution points would definitely waste some of his stamina and time. The constant struggle would deteriorate his cultivation condition too.

n

nHe had already decided that before the first sect mission, he would do nothing but cultivate.

n

n***

nDay by day…

n

nLi Fuchen's overall ability increased bit by bit.

n

n

"Such a terrifying sword art.

"

n

nThree steps aways was a penetrated piece of giant raw iron ore, Li Fuchen couldn't help but raise his brows.

n

nHe didn't even use an ounce of his physical strength but just purely coated qi onto the black iron sword.

n

nThis mystic class, low-tier Meteor Sword Style was much harder to cultivate and also much stronger than he imagined.

n

nThere was only one sword move for this sword art and it was called, Meteor Fall.

n

nAs the sword was brandished, not only was its speed blinding, it had this uncomparable ability to penetrate.

n

nEven though the raw iron ore is only a yellow class, low-tier ore, its toughness was at least twice that of any ordinary stones and rocks.

n

nAn Origin Realm martial artist is able to smash raw iron ore, and is also able to use a sword to open up a pit. But to penetrate such a thick piece raw iron ore isn't such an easy feat.

n

nThis sword art is made to deal with body refinement techniques. With the execution of the sword move, no matter how strong your physical defenses were, it would still pierce through it.

n

nLi Fuchen estimated that even his own Interception Form wasn't able to block Meteor Fall.

n

nOf course, this sword move, Meteor Fall wasn't able to kill him in one blow, it would at most injure him.

n

nShoo!

n

nShoo!

n

nShoo!

n

nThe black iron sword in the hands of Li Fuchen was just like a radiant shooting star, piercing through the raw iron ore.

nA day later, the 2 meter tall raw iron ore collapsed into hundreds of pieces after getting punctured like a honeycomb.

n

nFrom the corner of his courtyard, Li Fuchen shifted to yet another 2 meter tall raw iron ore.

n

nRaw iron ores were worth 1 point per kilogram. This 2 meter tall iron ore was around 10,000 kg, and that would mean it was 10,000 points.

n

nAs a 1st class inner sect disciple, Li Fuchen is able to borrow raw iron ores from the resource hall and was only required to return it afterwards.

n

nIt wasn't important whether was it still intact, as long as the overall weight remained the same.

n

nAs the raw iron ores would ultimately have to enter the furnace.

n

nOther 1st class inner sect disciples like Li Fuchen would also borrow raw iron ores for practicing, as normal granites were too fragile for them.

n

nSome of the higher leveled 1st class inner sect disciples would even borrow yellow class, high-tier ores for training.

n

nThis was the privilege of a 1st class inner sect disciple, that 2nd class inner sect disciples would never get to have.

n
