I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 439 Xia Yuan's Gains and Rewards
early morning.

As everyone was cultivating as usual, a sudden piece of news spread to everyone in an instant!

"Ji Xuan has appeared?"

"And he even challenged Nangong Hong?"

Sikong Yang was shaken.

"Could it be that Ji Xuan has made a major breakthrough?"

"Or perhaps, he deliberately concealed his strength before?"

But he quickly dismissed the idea.

Ji Xuan's previous fist technique level was only at the mid-stage of Ming Jin. Even if he could break through to the late stage, there would still be a huge gap between him and Nangong Hong.

After all, there's a huge difference between knowing how to use weapons and not!
Not to mention that Nangong Hong's current level may have already reached the peak of the fifth level of Body Tempering.

Since Ji Xuan hasn't cultivated for so long, his cultivation level is probably still at the second or third level of the fifth stage of Body Tempering.

In this situation.

Even if Ji Xuan concealed his strength and secretly raised his swordsmanship to the late stage of Ming Jin, he would still be no match for Nangong Hong.

"So, what gives Ji Xuan the confidence to challenge Nangong Hong?"

Sikong Yang's eyes flickered, and he muttered to himself in a low voice.

He didn't think Ji Xuan was the kind of person who sought attention.

Since the other party dared to challenge Nangong Hong, they must have a certain degree of confidence!
Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.

"Could it be the concept of wind mentioned in his cultivation insights?"

To be honest, Sikong Yang thought this was unlikely.

He had read Ji Xuan's cultivation insights.

The concept of wind within it is merely a hypothetical idea.

He also tried to understand it, but he had absolutely no clue.

However, it seems that this is the only explanation at present.

Otherwise, how could Ji Xuan possibly have the confidence to fight Nangong Hong?

But even if one comprehends the essence of wind, does it really have such a significant impact on improving one's strength?
He knew Nangong Hong's strength better than anyone else.

Previously, after breaking through to the fifth level of Body Tempering, he had challenged Nangong Hong.

But in the end, he was defeated in just over ten moves!
This was before Nangong Hong's marksmanship had improved.

Now that Nangong Hong's spear technique has reached the late stage of Ming Jin, I'm afraid I'll be defeated in three moves.

Although he was unwilling to admit it, that was the truth.

Not to mention that Nangong Hong's cultivation level was already higher than his.

Previously, Ji Xuan couldn't even beat himself.

"Perhaps he just wanted to test his strength after his breakthrough!"

A moment later, Sikong Yang stood up and walked outside.

He wanted to see if Ji Xuan's mastery of the Wind Intent was truly that powerful!
……

And at this time.

Nangong Hong, who had just finished his training, also received a message from the academy.

"Ji Xuan wants to challenge me?"

He raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

The other party hasn't shown up for months, and now that they've reappeared, it's to challenge me?
But he understood Ji Xuan.

They know that the other party won't challenge them if they're not confident.

It seems there has been a major breakthrough!

Nangong Hong's lips curled up slightly.

His fingertips gently traced the communication screen, and a fighting spirit began to rise in his eyes.

Since the academy competition ended six months ago, no one has been able to face him head-on for a long time.

"interesting!"

As he spoke, he sent a reply message.

See you at the training grounds tomorrow!

Put away the screen in your hand.

Ji Xuan looked into the distance.

"I hope your skills can truly surprise me!"

……

"Oh, Ji Xuan actually comprehended the essence of wind?"

Hanzhou, Jiangcheng.

Xia Yuan, who was instructing the brother and sister in their cultivation, suddenly received a message from Li Qingxuan.

A look of astonishment flashed across his face.

It should be noted that only eight months had passed since the other party proposed the path of comprehending the nature of heaven and earth.

In such a short time, one can truly grasp the essence of the wind.

It was indeed a bit beyond his expectations.

"Brother Xia Yuan, what's making you so happy?"

Seeing the sudden smile on Xia Yuan's face, Qin Xue couldn't help but ask curiously.

Xia Yuan smiled and shook his head.

"It's nothing, you guys continue your cultivation, I have something to do and need to go out for a bit."

"You don't need to wait for me for dinner tonight!"

talking.

He vanished in a flash, disappearing from the siblings' sight.

Seeing this, Qin Xue became even more puzzled.

What could possibly be causing Brother Xia Yuan such a hurry?
But she didn't think much about it.

"I'll be heading to Kyoto in a few days, so I need to speed up my progress in deducing the cultivation technique."

Half an hour later.

Xia Yuan had already appeared at the Origin Academy.

His purpose in coming here was twofold: firstly, to gain a detailed understanding of Ji Xuan's process of enlightenment.

On the other hand, Li Qingxuan also couldn't determine exactly how many contribution points to reward Ji Xuan.

After all, Li Qingxuan didn't know much about this field either.

Therefore, Xia Yuan himself had to make this decision.

Meanwhile, inside the training field...

After Ji Xuan submitted his understanding of the essence of wind, he didn't pay much attention to it.

He is currently working hard to adapt to the power he has gained after comprehending the essence of wind.

In preparation for tomorrow's challenges.

From other people, Ji Xuan also learned that Nangong Hong's spear technique had broken through to the late stage of Ming Jin.

Having reached the late stage of the Ming Jin realm in spear technique, he dared not be careless in the slightest.

However, it was at this moment.

Hua Changfeng suddenly found him.

"What? The Primordial Ancestor wants to see me?"

Ji Xuan originally thought that Hua Changfeng was coming to tell him about the contribution point reward.

Unexpectedly, this brought such a bombshell.

"That's right, the Ancestor is waiting for you, let's go quickly!"

"it is good."

Ji Xuan nodded, then followed Hua Changfeng outside.

In fact, he could probably guess why the Origin Ancestor wanted to see him.

He probably wanted to confirm whether he had truly grasped the essence of wind.

So he wasn't too worried.

but.

He was somewhat nervous about being suddenly summoned by the ancestor.

"Don't be nervous, the Origin Ancestor is quite peaceful, and the fact that he's looking for you this time is definitely for good news!"

Seeing Ji Xuan's tense expression, Hua Changfeng couldn't help but smile and offer a word of comfort.

Ji Xuan nodded with a wry smile.

He couldn't possibly be unaware of that.

But every time I see the Origin Ancestor, I still feel an invisible pressure enveloping me.

Not to mention that this time he was summoned alone!

They arrived at Xia Yuan's residence while they were talking.

"Alright, go in by yourself. The Origin Ancestor is inside."

Ji Xuan took a deep breath and strode forward.

Walk through the long corridor.

Soon, he saw two figures in the hall.

at the same time.

Yuanzu's gaze also turned towards them.

Just that one glance.

Ji Xuan suddenly felt the pressure increase.

After a while.

He managed to calm the pounding in his heart and bowed to the two of them.

"Yuanzu, Dean!"

Xia Yuan smiled and waved his hand.

"Sit down, don't be shy."

Seeing that Ji Xuan's body was still tense, Xia Yuan couldn't help but laugh and tease him:
"I heard you're going to challenge Nangong Hong tomorrow. Hope that hasn't affected your cultivation!"

"No no."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xuan quickly shook his head in denial.

Seeing his expression, Xia Yuan's smile deepened, and he deliberately drawled out his words:
"Oh—it seems you're quite confident?"

"..."

Ji Xuan looked embarrassed.

That's not what he meant.

But right now, he didn't know how to answer Yuanzu's question!
To say that he was completely confident would be an overstatement.

Finally, he coughed lightly.

Try to make your tone sound calm.

"Nangong Hong's strength is extraordinary. I'm just taking this opportunity to test my own strength. The outcome is not important."

This is indeed his true thought.

He would be better off defeating Nangong Hong, but he wouldn't care too much if he lost.

The path to extraordinary achievement is not about winning or losing in the short term.

Now that he has grasped the essence of wind, Ji Xuan is confident that he can go even further.

"Not bad!" Xia Yuan nodded with a smile.

Ji Xuan's mindset is indeed good.

It is excellent in every aspect.

Such a person undoubtedly has great potential for development.

But now is not the time to talk about these things.

"I called you over here to understand your process of comprehending the essence of wind."

Although he had already read Ji Xuan's summary of his insights, he still wanted to hear Ji Xuan elaborate.

At the same time, it is also necessary to determine how many contribution points to reward Ji Xuan based on his understanding of the situation.

Ji Xuan nodded.

He knew that the test of the Origin Ancestor had arrived!

After gathering his thoughts, Ji Xuan slowly spoke:
"I divided the entire process of comprehending the essence of wind into four stages."

"The first step is to perceive the shape of the wind, and the second step is to imitate the trajectory of the wind."

He spoke very quickly about his initial insights.

Because he started imitating the wind very early on!

Similarly, this second step was a bottleneck that had been troubling him for a long time.

It wasn't until a little over a month ago that his understanding of the wind made a qualitative leap.

This is the third step.

Understand the nature of wind.

But when he began to incorporate his understanding of wind into martial arts.

Until last night.

Only then did he truly break through that bottleneck and achieve resonance with the wind.
Throughout the entire process, Xia Yuan listened quietly.

Compared to the insights recorded by Ji Xuan.

Hearing the other person tell the story in person at this moment would undoubtedly provide a much more detailed account.

Xia Yuan did indeed benefit from this process.

He felt that his understanding of elemental control had reached a new level.

The bottleneck that had been troubling him gradually loosened up as Ji Xuan recounted the story.

If the two of them hadn't been there, he would have immediately wanted to immerse himself in cultivation.

"This haul has been quite substantial!"

Xia Yuan sighed inwardly.

After a while.

Ji Xuan finished explaining his insights.

Xia Yuan then spoke:
"Show us your mastery of the Wind!"

"Yes."

Ji Xuan nodded.

Then, the blood and qi in his body began to surge wildly.

He did not suppress his strength.

Before the Origin Ancestor, my methods were nothing more than showing off my limited skills, and there was absolutely no need to suppress them.

As his blood and qi surged, the surrounding airflow continuously converged towards his right hand.

next moment.

The force of the punch, carrying the airflow, shot forward with overwhelming force.

However, the force of the punch had not yet reached the wall.

In an instant, it was reduced to nothing by an invisible force.

The surrounding air returned to calm once again.

Ji Xuan wanted to provoke it again.

But he discovered that the wind was completely out of his control!

"That's it!"

Just then, Xia Yuan's voice came from beside him.

It's obvious that he was the one who made the move.

There's no way around it, Ji Xuan's strength is really quite formidable.

If he hits the wall in front of you, it might crack.

As for Ji Xuan's methods of controlling the wind, they are completely insignificant in front of Xia Yuan.

The two are on completely different levels!

"The power of the wind element is actually this strong?"

Li Qingxuan couldn't help but speak up as well.

The level of power that Ji Xuan just displayed can be said to have reached the Innate Realm.

Of course, not the kind of innate martial arts with a very high level of skill.

That's roughly equivalent to the strength displayed at the beginner level of Ming Jin!

Even so, it's already quite outrageous!

Under normal circumstances, you should know this.

A master at the Innate Realm is enough to defeat four or five masters at the fifth level of Body Tempering.

Li Qingxuan was surprised that Ji Xuan, who was only at the second stage of the fifth level of Body Tempering, could display such strength.

"Heh, he's much stronger now than we were back then!"

Xia Yuan smiled.

Looking back on myself, I didn't even know anything about the natural realm of artistic conception, let alone martial arts.

They are not even in the same league as Ji Xuan now.

The gap between the two is like a chasm.

"Yes, if I, the old Taoist, progress slowly, I'm afraid these little guys will surpass me very soon!"

Li Qingxuan nodded with a wry smile.

Listening to the discussion between the two big shots in front of me.

Ji Xuan kept his eyes on his nose, and his nose on his heart.

He wouldn't dare to respond to such a question carelessly.

Moreover, the dean's statement has credibility.

But judging from the level of understanding of the wind that the Origin Ancestor just demonstrated, it was far superior to his own.

It's absolutely impossible for someone like that to claim they're weaker than you when you're at the same level.

After a while.

Ji Xuan left the residence of the Origin Ancestor.

However, his expression was momentarily dazed.

"200 contribution points?"

Even now, Ji Xuan still finds it hard to believe.

To be honest, he thought that getting 100 contribution points this time was the limit!
But I didn't expect there to be so many.

Two hundred contribution points are needed, and even exploration missions require completing four or five.

"Is it because of my behavior just now?"

Ji Xuan could not hide his excitement.

This gain is truly enormous.

It can be said that before he reached the Innate Realm, he no longer needed to worry about resources.

"After challenging Nangong Hong, I will start to break through to the Innate Realm with all my might!"

After a moment, I calmed down from my excitement.

Ji Xuan glanced back, then strode towards the training ground.

……

"Master Li, I'll be taking my leave now!"

After meeting Ji Xuan, Xia Yuan did not intend to stay at the academy any longer.

"Fellow Daoist, won't you take a look at tomorrow's competition?"

Xia Yuan shook his head.

"No need."

His main purpose in coming here was simply to see Ji Xuan.

As for the fight between the two, it was like child's play to him.

Nothing fancy.

Of course, the main reason was that he couldn't wait to start cultivating.

It just so happens that after returning this time, Qin Xue will also be heading to Zhongzhou to prepare for the final assessment.

Before leaving, Xia Yuan wanted to tell Li Qingxuan about Qin Xue.

But after thinking about it, he ultimately didn't say anything.

Since Qin Xue wanted to pass the assessment on her own.

Then I don't need to worry about it anymore.

However, Xia Yuan did mention that Qin Xue had created a Body Tempering Realm cultivation technique.

"what?"

Hear the news.

Li Qingxuan was immediately taken aback.

How could a little girl who hasn't even embarked on the path of cultivation have already created a cultivation technique?
How can this be?

As someone who had already created the technique, he knew very well that it wasn't based on theory.

Instead, it requires continuous verification by oneself.

How could Qin Xue, whom Xia Yuan mentioned, have been perfected without any experiments?
But seeing Xia Yuan's smiling face...

Li Qingxuan immediately understood the reason.

With Xia Yuan around, why worry about these things?
"Alright, Master Li, if she passes the test, give her the contribution points."

Xia Yuan did not want to overstep his bounds and do the same for Qin Xue, who had created her own cultivation method.

Besides, there's no rush to develop the cultivation method.

The students from the previous sessions will definitely still need to practice the Awakening Method.

After all, there was no way to awaken Qin Xue's cultivation technique.

It's not appropriate to spread this right now!
After saying that, Xia Yuan didn't linger and turned to leave Origin Academy.

"What an incredibly talented little girl!"

After Xia Yuan left, Li Qingxuan couldn't help but sigh.

Despite having Xia Daoyou's help, he can still be considered a genius for being able to establish the theory!

As one genius after another gradually emerged, Li Qingxuan felt a greater sense of urgency.

First it was Nangong Hong, and now Ji Xuan and Qin Xue have appeared.

These individuals were all exceptionally talented and brilliant.

"I need to hurry up and finish tempering the first meridian, otherwise these little guys will really surpass me!"

He shook his head and walked towards the training room.
