"Indeed, this Low-Level Profound Technique is just a common item. Its power is too mediocre; it seems that only those who have no hope of breaking through to the Warrior Realm would choose to cultivate such a technique." Ren Pingsheng put down the manual in his hand, curled his lips, and completely lost interest in looking at it further.
This also reflects his different perspective and aspirations; otherwise, if such a technique were put out there, who knows how many Loose Practitioners and Warrior Realm fighters would scramble for it. Not everyone has access to Profound-Level Cultivation Methods.
"Fortunately, I have the Ancient Lan Divine Art, so I don't need to waste time earning points." He took out a Jade Tablet and pressed it against his forehead to read. This was precisely the Jade Tablet he obtained in the inheritance space.
"It truly deserves to be a technique created by a Divine-Level Expert. Each corresponding stage is among the top-tier techniques." The Profound Level Top-tier Cultivation Method is indeed the limit of what he can learn right now.
Ren Pingsheng nodded in satisfaction, then put away the Jade Tablet and began to cultivate according to the Ancient Lan Divine Art Warrior Realm technique, focusing intently on his practice. The Warrior Realm was not his ultimate goal; he wanted to reach a higher realm as soon as possible.
For him, the minimum target was also to become a King-Level Expert. He was still thinking about his missing Father. Only by becoming a King-Level Expert could he see him and find out what had really happened.
A night quickly passed, and Ren Pingsheng did gain something. The amount of True Qi within him increased slightly. For his body, which already had twice the density of others' True Qi, this was quite an achievement.
In the morning, after practicing Sword Technique for a while, Ren Pingsheng saw Feng Yi, Fei Hou, and Kong Zhan, and invited them into the room.
"Ren Shidi, you arrived much later than I expected," Feng Yi said with a light laugh.
"There was a bit of an accident, but it's not too late now. I just didn't expect that Brother Feng has progressed so quickly; you've already become a High-Level Warrior!" Ren Pingsheng observed him closely and said with some surprise.
"It’s just luck. After all, there are more opportunities here; as long as you have strength, you can obtain anything. By the way, you didn’t cultivate the Low-Level Profound Technique you got yesterday, did you?"
"Kong Shixiong has already told me about it, so naturally I didn’t cultivate it. I just wonder how many points are needed for this technique exchange?" This was something he was quite concerned about; he didn't lack techniques but could consider some other items.
"Oh, for Profound Level Intermediate, it requires five hundred points. If you want to be safe about it, you can gather enough in three months. High-Level Martial Arts requires one thousand points. I learned High-Level Martial Arts, and it took me half a year to gather that amount. As for the Top-tier Cultivation Method, it requires five thousand points, and only a very small number of people have the ability to obtain it."
Feng Yi said with some envy. He had also considered this before, but if High-Level Martial Arts took half a year, then the Top-tier Cultivation Method would take one or two years. He simply couldn't afford that time; by then, others might have already broken through and become Martial Master Realm Martial Artists, making it meaningless.
"Hehe, Brother Feng shouldn't be envious. High-Level Martial Arts is already quite good; I'm still learning Intermediate Technique!" Kong Zhan interjected with some frustration.
"Who told you to be so impatient? If you were willing to spend another two or three months, you could exchange for High-Level Martial Arts," Fei Hou criticized with a laugh from the side.
"Sigh, I regret it so much now. It seems I can only hurry up and break through Warrior Realm, and then find a good technique to learn."
"There's no need for that; just switch techniques. Although it's a bit troublesome, one or two months should be more than enough," Feng Yi reminded.
"Come on, when switching techniques, you can't use True Qi at all. I can't stand being an ordinary person for such a long time," Kong Zhan immediately shook his head in refusal.
"Hey, why is it so noisy outside? Is something happening again?" Fei Hou turned his head and said uncertainly.
"Let's go out and take a look." Feng Yi immediately stood up, and the four of them walked outside.
"The scum from Tiger Howl Sect! They actually dare to come looking for trouble with our Azure Wind Sword Sect; we can settle yesterday's matter as well." A disciple from Azure Wind Sword Sect was ready to take action.
"Step aside; I'm not here to look for you! Wasn't there a guy named Ren Pingsheng who came yesterday? Where is he? I've been waiting for him here for a long time." Wu Yang stepped forward and said arrogantly.
The disciples of Azure Wind Sword Sect exchanged glances. Only a few had seen Ren Pingsheng yesterday; most of them didn't even know that a new disciple had arrived.
"Ren Pingsheng, come out quickly! An old friend has arrived; are you planning to keep being a turtle?"
"Oh, Wu Yang, it seems that you have made quite a bit of progress during this time apart," Ren Pingsheng said with a light laugh as he approached with Feng Yi.
"Ren Pingsheng, you finally decided to come out. I thought you were afraid."
"Afraid of you? No matter how much you've improved, you're still my defeated opponent."
"You..." Wu Yang's expression darkened, clearly displeased. This was a wound in his heart that had never healed. He had always wanted revenge, but unfortunately, Ren Pingsheng was too formidable. Now, the opportunity was finally right in front of him.
He then chuckled sinisterly, "Good, very good. Ren Pingsheng, aren't you quite impressive? But your cultivation seems lacking now; it looks like you've completely wasted the past year and a half. If you have the guts, let's compete again. Of course, if you're scared and want to beg for mercy, I can let you go."
"Damn it, this Tiger Howl Sect scum is so arrogant," shouted a disciple from the Canglan Sword Sect. The gap between Mid-Level Warriors and low-level warriors was clear; this was obviously bullying.
"Heh heh, it seems your skin has thickened quite a bit. Although it's disheartening, you're really not my opponent right now," Ren Pingsheng said disdainfully as he stroked the longsword in his hand.
"Huh? What did you say?" Wu Yang exclaimed in surprise. "I'm not your opponent? Ha ha... I see you're hopeless. Since that's the case, how about we have a match?"
"Sure, but I don't want to engage in a pointless duel. If you really want to compete, there should be some stakes involved."
"Oh, it seems you're quite confident in your abilities. What do you want to bet?"
"I just arrived at the Academy and I'm in need of points. How about betting one thousand points? Of course, if you're too scared and want to beg for mercy, I can let you go," Ren Pingsheng said, his words sounding familiar—exactly what Wu Yang had said before.
"Heh heh... You've got guts. Let's bet one thousand points. I know you don't have that much. But that's fine; if you lose, just kneel and knock your head three times," Wu Yang said with a vicious smile.
"Deal. Let me see how much you've improved during this time," Ren Pingsheng said as he stopped Feng Yi and the others from persuading him with a reassuring glance and stepped onto the Dueling Platform in the courtyard.
"Ha ha, Ren Pingsheng, I will make you regret this. After falling behind for more than a year, you are no longer my opponent. All the pain I have suffered, I will return it to you today."
"Let's duel; you talk too much!"
"I'll let you experience the Mystic Level Sword Technique. You probably don't even know how powerful the Mystic Level Sword Technique is!" Wu Yang seemed to be showing off as he slashed down with his sword, the fiery red sword energy raining down like raindrops, enveloping Ren Pingsheng.
Ren Pingsheng drew his sword and lightly slashed, completely unfazed. All the sword energy that approached him shattered like fireworks, causing him no trouble at all.
"The Mystic Level Sword Technique isn't that impressive! To be honest, I overestimated you."
"Don't get cocky; this is just the beginning." His eyes flashed as he immediately set aside his previous disdain. The scene of his earlier defeat reappeared in his mind.
"Kill!" Wu Yang gritted his teeth and moved like lightning. He thrust his sword at Ren Pingsheng using the Profound Level Movement Technique. Ren Pingsheng lightly sidestepped and avoided it. Wu Yang followed up with another slash, but unfortunately, he only cut through empty air. Ren Pingsheng had already appeared behind him and thrust his sword forward.
Wu Yang dodged to the side but was about to attack when Ren Pingsheng's second thrust came at him, one sword following another, forcing him into a passive defense.
"This kid's strength is still as formidable as ever. Indeed, one cannot judge solely by cultivation level," Feng Yi murmured to himself. The other disciples of Azure Wind Sword Sect also looked surprised; they hadn't expected this newcomer junior brother to be quite powerful.
"Break!" Wu Yang shouted loudly as he swept his sword horizontally, causing Ren Pingsheng to retreat far away. The countless illusions on the stage also vanished completely.
"Your strength deserves my serious attention. However, you are still not my opponent today. Fire Dance in the Sky!" His expression turned serious as the longsword traced mysterious patterns in the air. As True Qi surged, fiery red light continuously gathered and compressed.
"Slash!" He swung his longsword fiercely, and a fiery red sphere appeared before Ren Pingsheng like a flash. It seemed filled with unstable explosives, and its explosive power was absolutely terrifying.
"Boom..." The sky was filled with fiery red sword energy rampaging across the Dueling Platform. Each strand carried a sharp edge, leaving deep scratches on the Dueling Platform.
"That's it, this is the Mid-Level Xuan Class Sword Technique. There's no way a low-level warrior can withstand it," a knowledgeable disciple exclaimed unwillingly.
"Take your time, no one knows the outcome until the end," Feng Yi said calmly, despite the cold sweat on his palms.
"Quite impressive power, but unfortunately, you just learned it. Otherwise, you might have been able to injure me," Ren Pingsheng's voice came from the center of the explosion as the smoke cleared. Aside from a few small holes in his clothes, he was completely unharmed.
"What? This is an Intermediate Sword Technique; how could you possibly..." Wu Yang exclaimed in shock.
"So what if it's an Intermediate Sword Technique? Try my Raging Wind Thirteen Kills!" Ren Pingsheng replied with a light laugh, and then twelve phantoms and twelve sword energies slashed out from Wu Yang's surroundings, closing in in an instant.
"Damn it!" Wu Yang fumbled to defend against the attacks from his surroundings, unaware that danger had already arrived.
"Slash!" Ren Pingsheng shouted. A blue sword energy seized the opportunity and struck Wu Yang directly.
"Poof..." Wu Yang fell to the ground, his face turning pale as he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. If it weren't for Ren Pingsheng holding back at the last moment, he would have likely fainted on the spot.
"I told you that you weren't my opponent; transfer your points over," Ren Pingsheng said with a grin as he looked at the awkwardly positioned Wu Yang below.
"You'll regret offending us at Tiger Howl Sect," Wu Yang said through gritted teeth as he took out his Identity Jade Token and transferred a thousand points before hurriedly fleeing.
