Chapter 161 Surpassing the God of War, Taking on a Disciple, Flying Star Moon-Severing Blade (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)
“Recently, someone in our unit has been inquiring about you. He’s a new guy, and I heard he has some connections in the military.”

Although the kid hid it well, I could still tell he was deliberately asking questions.

From your physical strength to your mental fortitude, and even the strength you had back in the shantytowns.

Xu Feng raised an eyebrow, a chill running down his spine, but he smiled and said, "Why are you asking about me? I'm already married."

Huang Sen nudged him with his elbow: "Stop fooling around, let's get down to business."

I think that person might be problematic; you should be careful lately.

I'll keep an eye on things for you too.

Hey, while he was asking me questions, I was also trying to get information out of him.

If there is any sensitive information, I will tell you as soon as possible.

Keep an eye on things yourself, don't be so careless all the time.

Maybe some troublemakers are trying to harm you.

After all, you're quite famous now.

A decorated warrior, wow, the news has spread throughout our unit.

Don't underestimate human nature, there are a lot of weirdos in this world.

Many people just can't stand seeing others do well.

Some people just eat too many red beans and have a death wish.

Xu Feng shook his head and chuckled: "Alright, alright, don't worry, you know me too well?"
When have I ever been taken advantage of? I'm the one who schemes against others; have you ever seen anyone scheme against me?

Huang Sen then grinned and said, "That's true."

Although Xu Feng spoke to Huang Sen in a very relaxed manner, he actually kept the matter on his mind.

Is someone investigating me?
why?
Are you trying to target me?
Or is he plotting something against himself?

Xu Feng quickly scanned through the list of people who might have a grudge against him, and then eliminated them one by one.

In the end, only a few remained, and these people were unlikely to dare target him.

Could it be a stray from Outpost No. 3?

Or are they from the black market?

That's impossible. They were all killed, and no one was left alive.

Unable to figure it out, Xu Feng stopped thinking about it.

You can only commit a thief in a thousand days, but there is no way to prevent a thief in a thousand days.

So, come on then.

He wanted to see who could successfully ambush him even after he had mastered mental power.

there is always a solution to a problem.

He's not some greenhorn anymore.

After returning home.

Xu Feng explained the matter to Lu Fei and then to Xiao Dan.

After confirming that both mother and daughter were aware of the precautions.

Only then did he enter the martial arts room to begin his training.

The next morning.

Xu Feng walked toward his workplace as usual.

But when he arrived at work, he saw Li Tianlang sitting in his seat waiting for him.

"Hey, you're here? Anything planned for this weekend?"

Upon meeting, Li Tianlang asked with a smile.

Xu Feng curiously put down his things and pulled out a chair next to him: "Nothing to do this weekend? What's up?"

"Hey, I have a few friends I'd like you to meet," Li Tianlang said with a smile.

"friend?"

Xu Feng raised an eyebrow.

Li Tianlang wouldn't introduce his friends to himself for no reason; there must be another purpose behind this move.

He smiled and agreed, "Okay, call me when the time comes."

Li Tianlang then stood up and said, "Okay, see you then."

Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Xu Feng quickly asked, "What kind of friends are they?"

Li Tianlang smiled mysteriously: "Hey, they're all some of my friends who are quite capable among the generals. You'll see when you meet them."

Xu Feng was slightly surprised.

What? After making such a great contribution, you've expanded your social circle?

I didn't introduce myself before because I didn't have enough reputation, right?
He understands.

Some circles can't be entered just because you have enough ability.

Just like in a game, you need to accumulate enough reputation before you can trigger new social interactions and quests.

Xu Feng also found this rather novel.

I wonder what kind of people Li Tianlang's so-called friends are.

Mid-level or high-level warrior?
That's definitely worth getting to know.

After seeing Li Tianlang off, Xu Feng began a boring day of sitting idly.

But he wasn't idle either; instead, he sat in his office meditating on spiritual techniques and made some progress.

After getting off work, Xu Feng picked up his coat and hummed a little tune as he walked home.

All the way there, he kept thinking about when he would have the chance to go to the Eagle Alliance again and get rid of the remaining stolen goods.

I was walking down the street, lost in thought.

At the same time, he was constantly scanning the surrounding pedestrians with his mental energy, on guard against any sneak attacks.

He didn't take Huang Sen's words lightly at all.

For the next few days, he planned to maintain the same itinerary every day, giving the person secretly watching him a chance to see if they would make a move.

Constantly guarding against things like this isn't a solution.

However, to Xu Feng's surprise, before he even reached the entrance of the residential area, someone actually stopped him halfway.

The other person was a tall, strong, middle-aged man with a slightly dark complexion. His face showed no hostility, but rather a hint of curiosity.

"Are you Xu Feng? Good evening."

He heard the other person call out his name directly.

Xu Feng immediately became alert and stopped in his tracks.

It stopped three meters away from the other party.

At the same time, he took out a throwing knife from behind his back: "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

The middle-aged man was wearing a gray casual outfit, with his hands behind his back.

Just standing there, he naturally exuded a faint sense of oppression.

However, Xu Feng did not sense anything else.

The opponent was very strong, but just how strong? He couldn't really sense it.

however.

The middle-aged man's opening remark stunned Xu Feng: "Are you interested in learning swordsmanship from me?"

"Huh?" Xu Feng scratched his head and looked at the other person in surprise.

He'd seen people selling online courses and insurance, but he'd never seen anyone trying to sell a mentor.

Moreover.

This sounds exactly like what personal trainers say.
Xu Feng immediately waved his hand: "Sorry, I'm not in class. I apologize."

After saying that, he walked around to leave.

Even when he was trying to avoid them, Xu Feng was still on guard against them to prevent a sneak attack.

What if all those previous words were just tactics the other person used to lower my guard?
He plays this game all the time.

However, as soon as he took a step, Xu Feng felt a sudden blur before his eyes.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the middle-aged man's figure was blocking his way again.

Xu Feng felt a chill run down his spine, took two steps back, and pretended to reach for his waist.

But the other party didn't make any move, seemingly without any hostility, and just smiled at him:
"Don't worry, I'm not selling courses, I don't have any tricks up my sleeve, and I'm not trying to cause you any trouble."

I simply admire your potential, which is why I want to take you on as my apprentice.

Xu Feng was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then chuckled and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, but I really have no intention of becoming your apprentice. I'm sorry."

Besides, I don't even know you, so how did you come to know about my potential?

The middle-aged man raised an eyebrow, not expecting Xu Feng to be so wary. He shook his head and chuckled, "I've heard about you from others and know some of your deeds."

Our temperaments are quite compatible.

I have practiced swordsmanship since I was a child, and I have always wanted to pass on my swordsmanship skills to others.

Unfortunately, no one has ever caught my eye.

I know about your story; you're a pretty good kid.

Trust me, you will never regret learning knife skills from me.

"In just ten years, you will surely reach the realm of a War God."

Xu Feng's expression was quite serious when he heard the first part of the sentence, but he laughed when he heard the last part.

ten years?

With his cultivation speed, I could do it myself.

Besides, this person's origins and motives are unknown, and he suddenly wants to take on disciples for no apparent reason.

Ask any sane person, who would agree to that?
This isn't some kind of online novel where you encounter a reclusive master who takes you as a disciple.

He prefers to believe in himself.

However, Xu Feng still respectfully clasped his hands in a salute, not wanting to offend the other party.

"Thank you for your kind words, senior, but really, it's not necessary. I'm sorry."

A look of speechlessness flashed across the middle-aged man's face. After a moment of silence, he said, "Alright, I know you don't believe me. Today was indeed a bit abrupt, and it was my fault for acting on a whim."

"I won't waste any more words. Let's find a place to spar, and I'll show you my skills so you'll know whether I'm lying or not."

Xu Feng: "."

So you're going to fight if you disagree? Looks like things aren't going to end well today.

Whatever.

He hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the Qingfeng Martial Arts Hall outside the community gate: "That works too. That's a martial arts hall I frequent. How about we open a martial arts room there and spar a bit?"

“Okay!” the middle-aged man readily agreed.

Seeing that the other party nodded in agreement, Xu Feng raised his hand to invite the other party to go first, while he followed the middle-aged man into the martial arts hall.

Noticing Xu Feng's subtle actions, the middle-aged man shook his head and chuckled, not caring at all.

Upon entering Qingfeng Martial Arts School, Xu Feng greeted the owner with a smile and opened a martial arts room.

He then walked inside with the middle-aged man.

After each of them chose a training sword, they stood still in the martial arts room.

Xu Feng clasped his hands in greeting first, his expression solemn as he said, "I recently made some breakthroughs, and I didn't know my own strength. Please forgive me."

Let's stop here and try not to get hurt, okay?

The middle-aged man chuckled lightly: "Okay, whatever you say."

Xu Feng nodded slightly, which piqued his interest somewhat.

Since the other party claims to know my potential, they have most likely investigated my abilities.

Even so, the fact that they still wanted to take me as their disciple shows that they were quite confident in their own abilities.

Is this a high-ranking general?
What is the purpose of taking on apprentices?
Did he really teach his swordsmanship as he claimed?

Xu Feng didn't believe it.

There is no such thing as good without a reason in this world.

Free lunches don't just fall from the sky.

"Then come on, let me see your strength, senior."

Xu Feng smiled slightly, but his expression gradually turned cold.

The middle-aged man had one hand behind his back and the other holding a knife: "You can use whatever you want, attack to your heart's content."

You can also use your mental energy on me at will.

I'll stand here and wait for you to attack.

What a loud tone.

Xu Feng raised an eyebrow: "Since it's a swordsmanship sparring match, let's just use swordsmanship alone."

"The senior is ready; I'm about to make my move."

Although Xu Feng addressed him as "senior," what he was really thinking was:
Calling you "senior" is just to give you face; I want to see what you're really made of.

In the next instant, he flashed and, amidst shifting light and shadow, instantly closed in on the middle-aged man.

A silent, swift slash came hurtling towards his face.

But the next moment.

Xu Feng froze on the spot, his body breaking out in a cold sweat.

The training knife in the other person's hand seemed to be raised simply, and it easily pierced through his blade wind, touching Xu Feng's neck.

"Gudu."

Xu Feng swallowed hard and slowly stepped back.

The middle-aged man maintained his calm expression and easily sheathed his sword: "Not bad speed, not bad footwork, but your intentions are too obvious."

Xu Feng narrowed his eyes and grinned. This guy really has some skills.

"Come again!"

Swish!
next moment.

He raised his hand and unleashed a slash.

An invisible wind blade was flicked out from the tip of his blade.

It is Xu Feng's latest mastery of the Wind Slash!
Then, Xu Feng burst into the air, his battle blade transforming into a gust of wind that swept towards the middle-aged man.

however.

The middle-aged man simply shifted his body slightly to the side, thus dodging Xu Feng's Wind Slash.

Then, with a gentle tap of his long sword, he shattered the entire gentle breeze.

Xu Feng, in pain, threw his sword to the ground.

He stared at the other person in astonishment, then glanced at his own swollen wrist, and his expression finally turned serious.

This person is very strong!
However, Xu Feng was not discouraged.

He then launched about ten more attacks.

He displayed almost all the knowledge he had acquired in his life.

However, they still couldn't get within two steps of each other.

Every move he makes is bound to be easily and effortlessly countered by his opponent.

Finally, Xu Feng gave up his attack, clasped his hands in a salute, and said, "Impressive. I am no match for you. You are far from being my equal."

The middle-aged man smiled slightly, raised his hand and flicked the training knife, accurately inserting it into the knife rack ten meters away.

This one move alone made Xu Feng's eyelids twitch.

The other party has no mental power.

Such a feat can be achieved simply through precise control of power.

Just as Xu Feng was pondering this, the middle-aged man laughed in a deep voice and said, "Your knife has a solid foundation and a strong base, but it lacks flexibility and adaptability."

The basic sword technique you practiced is the Wind Blade Three Strikes, right?

"That's right, senior has a discerning eye."

Xu Feng was startled and quickly praised him.

The middle-aged man nodded slightly: "Yes, switching to the Xunfeng Blade Technique after the Wind Blade Technique is indeed a wise choice."

But with your blade, I saw no movement of the wind.

He walked slowly around the martial arts room: "Wind, what is wind? Wind is everywhere and can penetrate into every nook and cranny."

Does your wind feel all-pervasive? Does it possess an extremely strong aggressive quality?

Xu Feng shook his head thoughtfully: "What you say is absolutely right, senior."

Seeing that Xu Feng seemed to have taken it to heart, the middle-aged man continued, "There's one more thing. Actually, whether it's the Three Wind Blades or the Xun Wind Slash..."

The core of it all lies in the technique of exerting force, which is what Chen Ping calls "wind force" or "strong wind".

Unfortunately, both of these sword techniques are quite crude in terms of moves.

If that swordsmanship were even more refined, the Xunfeng Blade technique alone would definitely be considered S-rank.

Xu Feng was also taken aback upon hearing this.

Why does an A-grade secret technique sound so trashy in this person's mouth?
However, Xu Feng dared not criticize the middle-aged man's comments too much; he was nothing special.

So he could only nod and say, "What you say is absolutely right, senior."

Hearing Xu Feng's words, the middle-aged man smiled and asked Xu Feng, "So, you're convinced?"

"I give up." Xu Feng nodded with a wry smile.

"Would you like to become my apprentice?" the middle-aged man asked again.

However, Xu Feng shook his head and refused again: "I'm really sorry, but I have no intention of becoming your disciple."

Although I am of low strength, I still have quite a bit of experience in cultivation.

Especially in the cultivation of secret techniques, I believe I can reach perfection without needing to formally become a disciple.

He was well aware of the shortcomings in his current swordsmanship.

After all, he had only practiced the Xunfeng Blade Technique for a short time after acquiring it, and was currently only at the proficient level.

But if you wait until your swordsmanship reaches the master or grandmaster level...

This will naturally break through the person's defenses.

Therefore, he had no need to find a master; the panel itself was his best teacher.

Actually.

Hsu Feng's refusal stemmed more from an unconscious feeling:

Such a good thing will never happen to you.

His experiences from childhood taught him a valuable lesson.

No one is kind to you for no reason.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Therefore, he felt that he had nothing that made him worthy of such attention from the other party.

Taking a master signifies cause and effect.

Xu Feng felt that he was not capable enough to seize such a great opportunity.

Moreover, his skills largely stem from his "panel".

He was also afraid that the other party would notice something amiss.

Hearing Xu Feng's continued refusal, the middle-aged man was speechless.

But instead of being speechless, they were even more excited.

You're not going to worship, are you?
I'm going to take you in anyway!

The middle-aged man snorted and snorted, "You're really too arrogant, kid. Do you know my strength? I've seen more martial artists than you've eaten rice."

Xu Feng smiled slightly upon hearing this.

Judging from this familiar argument, this senior is not young.

However, Xu Feng was genuinely curious about the other party's strength: "May I ask, senior, what realm are you in?"

The middle-aged man smiled faintly, finally hearing Xu Feng ask this question.

So he casually remarked, "In layman's terms, he's surpassed the God of War."

what?
Xu Feng was immediately stunned.

But then he laughed: "Hahaha, senior is really amazing, very good."

This is the first time I've ever seen a living being surpassing the level of a war god.

Do not make jokes.

According to Lu Fei, there are very few experts in the world who surpass the level of the God of War.

Back then, there was only one senior in the entire Wumeng Mountain region, Wei Dongyi, who came from Tsinghua University, Peking University, and Wuhan University.

As a result, he was later transferred due to a mission.

Now, this person in front of me claims to have surpassed the God of War?
When did such a powerful expert become so refined and approachable, taking on disciples everywhere?

Middle-aged man: “.”

Most afraid of the air suddenly quiet.

Seeing that the other person wasn't laughing, Xu Feng stopped smiling, and his expression gradually turned horrified.

It can't be true, right?
Xu Feng, his mouth dry, asked, "Senior, you're not joking?"

The middle-aged man chuckled upon hearing this: "Why would I joke about something like this?"

An existence surpassing even the God of War!?

What kind of character is that?
Why would someone suddenly appear in front of him and want to take him as a disciple?

Even though Xu Feng possessed the panel, he never thought he would have such incredible luck.

This is all too bizarre.

immediately.

Xu Feng uttered something he couldn't believe had come out of his own mouth: "Uh, senior, it's not that I don't believe you."

This incident was a huge shock to the younger generation.

The younger generation needs to think about this carefully.

After saying this, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.

Am I being too arrogant?
If what the other party is saying is true.
The middle-aged man looked at Xu Feng for a while, somewhat speechless, and even felt a little admiration for the young man.

Cow.

They dare to refuse existences that surpass the level of a war god.

This kid's got some skills. The middle-aged man smiled, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Alright, may I ask what your reasons are?"
If an ordinary person heard that I possessed such strength and wanted to take on a disciple, they would undoubtedly rush to agree.

After a moment's thought, Xu Feng revealed his true thoughts.

When he heard Hsu Feng's fear that he was "unworthy of his position,"

The middle-aged man suddenly threw his head back and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha! Good, good, good! In that case, let's try a different approach."

At this point, he reached into his pocket, pulled something out, and tossed it to Xu Feng.

Xu Feng caught it, then asked in surprise, "USB flash drive? May I ask what this is, senior—"

"A sword technique manual? Didn't you say you were very confident in your mastery of secret techniques? How about we make a bet?"

The middle-aged man said with a smile.

Xu Feng raised an eyebrow and asked, "What are we betting on?"

The middle-aged man smiled faintly: "If you can master the basics within 10 days, I will give you the complete set of this sword technique."

If you can't grasp the basics within 10 days, you'll have to become my apprentice. How about that?

Xu Feng touched his chin.

Is this for real? Could it be a trap?
But thinking about it, it seems like I haven't really lost anything.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Feng slapped his thigh and said, "Alright! But I have something to say beforehand."

Senior, you voluntarily gifted me this sword technique. If there is any copyright dispute, I will tell you the truth.

Moreover, I've been recording this on video since just now.

Xu Feng raised his tactical watch.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Okay, no problem."

"Ten days from now, whether it succeeds or not, I will wait here for you, senior!"

Xu Feng bowed respectfully with clasped hands, without the slightest perfunctoriness.

"OK, I'm leaving." The middle-aged man nodded in satisfaction, turned around, and left the martial arts room.

Watching the middle-aged man stride away, Xu Feng stood there holding the USB drive, lost in thought for a while, feeling as if it were a dream.

Suddenly realizing that he didn't know this senior's name, he quickly chased after him.

In the blink of an eye, the middle-aged man had vanished from the street.

Xu Feng shook his head with a slight regret before heading home.

It wasn't until she was taking a shower and getting ready for bed that Lu Fei noticed Xu Feng's unusual behavior: "What happened? You've been restless all night."

Xu Feng recounted his experiences from the afternoon.

Lu Fei indeed showed the same expression as Xu Feng: "A powerhouse surpassing the God of War wants to take on disciples? Why does that sound like a scam?"

Xu Feng was both amused and exasperated: "Right? I think so too, but that senior's strength is really impressive."

Lu Fei scoffed, "There are plenty of skilled fraudsters out there!"

In recent years, there have even been cases of high-ranking generals impersonating war gods to commit fraud and being caught!

These days, there are all kinds of people; who knows what the other person is thinking?
Did you ask him about his specific background?

Xu Feng shook his head: "No, I really didn't. I was so shocked at the time that I forgot about it."

Lu Fei touched her smooth chin and smiled mischievously: "Wait a minute, I'll go ask the teacher."

The base now boasts a number of top-tier experts.

If he truly is a being surpassing even the God of War, there must be records of him in the base.

A person skilled in swordsmanship and surpassing even the God of War—such a figure would definitely be very famous!

But five minutes later.

Lu Fei hung up the phone with a thoughtful expression: "The teacher said he didn't know."

"You don't know?" Xu Feng asked in surprise.

Lu Fei nodded and smiled wryly, "That's right, the teacher said that people who are stronger than the God of War level don't need to register when they come and go."

Furthermore, it is possible for someone to enter a city without being known by anyone.

As for those experts who surpassed the God of War level and were skilled in swordsmanship, the teacher said he didn't recognize a single one.

At this point, Lu Fei changed the subject: "But he also said that every being who surpasses the God of War has a heavy responsibility, and no one is so idle as to be bored."

If the other party really says that, it's highly likely to be true.

Because if this kind of thing is reported and it is discovered that he was impersonating someone else, the consequences will be very serious.

The Martial Arts Alliance will absolutely not let this kind of person get away with it, because it seriously damages the image of top-tier human martial artists.

Xu Feng nodded slightly.

He then flipped his hand and took out the old-fashioned USB drive: "Then let me see what's so special about his swordsmanship."

"come on."

Lu Fei smiled and encouraged her.

Xu Feng smiled slightly, took the USB drive, and went into the martial arts room.

buzz-

Martial Arts Indoor.

A mosquito flew by silently, only to be shattered by a palm strike from Xu Feng.

He withdrew his hand, looked at the tablet in front of him, and flipped through the knife techniques recorded on the USB drive.

"Flying Star and Moon-Slaying Blade? What an artistic name."

Xu Feng muttered to himself.

After carefully reading through the entire document, Xu Feng discovered that this sword technique was completely different from the Xunfeng Sword.

Although it also follows the fast-paced approach, it is more comprehensive.

That is to say:
He wields his sword with his inner energy, and pursues his life with the sword.

A shooting star shatters the moon, a soul-chasing, spirit-locking abyss.

The attacks were relentless, the sword strikes continuous.

Still and flawless, yet surging like a raging torrent.

Therefore, this sword technique emphasizes three key points: speed, explosiveness, and endurance.

These three points represent the three things that most combat techniques strive for.

However, most secret techniques take one point as the core and supplement it with two other points.

Or you could simply take a different approach and focus on making one aspect stand out the most.

However, this sword technique has a similar feel to the "bucket sword technique".

It encompasses all three essential elements required for all martial arts, and all of them must be "mastered".

But sometimes, this isn't a good thing.

"Strong in everything" is the same as "strong in nothing".

Unless, this "strong" is truly very strong.

"So confident in this swordsmanship? I'd like to see just how high the amplitude can reach after mastering it."

Xu Feng went through all the data on the USB drive and finally found a description of its power.

"Upon perfect refinement, it can achieve an amplitude of 9 times?!?"

Xu Feng jumped up from his spot, his face full of shock.

What does a force amplitude of 9 times mean?
Even if the A-level combat technique "Sun Wind Blade Technique" is cultivated to perfection, the maximum power amplitude is only 6 times.

9 times?
What level is this secret technique?
It's definitely higher than Grade A.

Above A-rank secret techniques are S-rank, SS-rank, and the top-tier SSS-rank secret techniques.

Judging from the difficulty of increasing the amplitude of force vibration.

Xu Feng estimated that this sword technique could even reach SS or SSS level!
This means that

This sword technique is very likely one of the most advanced combat techniques in the world!

Xu Feng gasped.

An S-level secret technique starts at 30 billion Xia coins.

SS-class starts at 500 billion.

And SSS-level secret techniques can reach hundreds of billions!

This is basically the most advanced secret technique in human martial arts civilization!

"Could what's written here be fake?" Xu Feng instinctively felt it was impossible.

But what if the opponent is truly a being beyond the God of War?

That swordsmanship might actually be quite advanced.

"There's no harm in practicing, so let's give it a try!"

Xu Feng immediately raised his hand and pressed it against his abdomen, bending his legs slightly.

Begin adjusting your breathing rhythm by adopting a stance similar to a horse stance.

That's right, this sword technique doesn't start with practicing any specific moves, but rather with a breathing method.

Use breathing to regulate qi and blood, and use qi and blood to temper the five internal organs, muscles, bones, and flesh.

When one finally reaches the state of "breathing like a rainbow, with ten cycles in one breath," one can be considered to have entered the gate.

The so-called "ten cycles in one breath" refers to the completion of ten cycles of blood and qi circulation within the time of one breath.

This places extremely high demands on the control of Qi and blood and lung capacity.

For an ordinary person to have their blood and qi flow from the heart, circulate throughout the body, and return to the heart, this process takes about 30 to 40 seconds.

Even though the physical abilities of a warrior are far superior to those of an ordinary person, it still takes at least four or five seconds.

A single breath takes at most two or three seconds.

Let's calculate it as three seconds.

It is almost impossible to complete ten cycles of blood and qi circulation within three seconds.

And this is only the basic requirement for this sword technique.

"So, this so-called breathing technique can actually be considered a cultivation method?"

Xu Feng raised an eyebrow.

Whether it seems impossible or not, just try it and you'll know.

"Whoosh—hiss—"

soon.

The only sound in the martial arts room was Xu Feng's intermittent, rhythmic breathing.

Before we knew it, three hours had passed.

When Xu Feng came to his senses, he realized that he was still covered in sweat.

He was about to grab a towel to wipe himself when he suddenly realized that all the muscles in his body were trembling violently.

Before he could react, his legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground.

"That's so physically demanding?"

He rubbed his body in astonishment, feeling as if he had been running at full speed all day.

Even the deepest parts of my body felt exhausted.

It took Xu Feng about five or six minutes to come to his senses after sitting on the ground.

He struggled to his feet, supporting himself on his legs, and sat down against the wall of the martial arts room.

He couldn't wait to pick up the large three-liter water glass next to him and gulp it down.

In addition to glucose and salt water, this water also contains a lot of energy.

It is the best supplement for warriors at the general level to quickly restore their physical strength during training.

Just one serving of this supplement in the water costs nearly a thousand dollars.

Xu Feng drinks almost two packets every day when he cultivates.

Xu Feng only put down the glass of water after drinking half of it, wiped his mouth, and leaned against the wall to ponder.

"This breathing technique is really something. Just adjusting my breathing like this can make me this tired."

If one practices for a long time, it will inevitably have a strong benefit to the body, especially to the internal organs.

It is important to know that strengthening the internal organs will greatly improve a martial artist's survival ability, digestion ability, absorption ability, and other abilities.

This kind of enhancement is not visible on the surface, but it is extremely useful in the subtle way.

However, in reality, there are very few exercises that can train the internal organs, and they are almost impossible to find.

Xu Feng excitedly shook his clothes, only to find that his training uniform was sticking to his body, feeling sticky and uncomfortable.

When it was on the rise.

He simply took off all his clothes, leaving only his underwear.

He then got up again and began practicing the breathing technique.

Another three hours passed.

a moment.

Xu Feng's breath suddenly stopped, and he collapsed to the ground, sprawling out and panting heavily.

"Huchi - Huchi -"

so tired!

He felt his muscles trembling all over, as if he had been exercising intensely for several days without getting a proper rest.

So much so that after lying on the ground for a while, Xu Feng fell asleep immediately.

When he woke up from his sleep, it was already noon the next day.

Xu Feng sat bolt upright, immediately letting out a scream: "Damn it!"

He rubbed his aching muscles and struggled to his feet.

He hadn't felt this way in a long time since he reached the Warrior level.

"Damn, what is that?"

Subconsciously touching his body, Xu Feng rubbed his palm and found a layer of dirt on it.

Xu Feng immediately looked down and saw that his skin was covered with a layer of grease and dirt.

It's like not having showered for over a month and then getting all sweaty.

The filth plastered on his body made him feel uncomfortable all over, and even gave off a slight sour smell.

Xu Feng quickly rushed into the bathroom to take a shower, and then came to the living room feeling refreshed and changed into clean clothes.

"Wow, I slept until noon."

Xu Feng glanced at his watch and sighed.

He then called Liu Charlie directly and rearranged his entire vacation for the second half of the month, taking ten days off in a row.

They heard that Xu Feng was taking leave because of his cultivation practice.

Liu Chali agreed without hesitation, and told him to stay home and focus on his cultivation.

Of course, as the chief engineer, Xu Feng himself had nearly half a month of rest time.

However, they are not used all at once during regular work schedules, but rather distributed across various work cycles.

It's just a matter of switching roles with my colleagues.

We'll figure out a way to make up for it later.

It's called taking time off in lieu of leave, everyone understands.

After stretching, Xu Feng didn't rush to start cultivating.

Instead, he simply cooked himself a stew.

The total weight was ten jin (5 kg), including meat and vegetables.

Two nutritional supplements were also mixed in.

After eating and drinking his fill, he sat on the sofa with half a watermelon in his arms and turned on the TV.

The news was reporting on some trivial matters concerning Base Nine recently.

It wasn't until they heard that the base was going to grant tax exemptions to all martial artists below the mid-level warrior rank, quasi-martial artists, and even ordinary people.

Xu Feng unexpectedly amplified his voice.

"Effective immediately, all martial artists and ordinary residents with strength below the mid-level warrior level within the entire territory of Base Nine will be exempt from paying personal income tax."

At the same time, a certain amount of consumption tax is reduced or exempted when making large purchases.
Warriors of intermediate level and above will have their tax amounts recalculated based on actual standards.

The base's tax system aims to raise the income level of lower-income residents, while also increasing tax rates for mid- to high-level martial artists.

"Oh?" Xu Feng raised an eyebrow. "Is it because of the evolution of the dimensional world?"

This is great news for grassroots martial artists and ordinary people.

However, this is not a good thing for martial artists of intermediate or higher ranks.

However, Hsu Feng could understand.

As the dimensional world begins to quietly evolve.

The area centered around Base No. 9 will attract a large number of martial artists for a long time to come.

Environmental changes mean that the living conditions for ordinary people are becoming increasingly harsh.

Therefore, whether it's tax cuts or tax increases, the goal is to improve everyone's lives.

He didn't know much about the tax system.

But I always felt that this was a good thing for people at the bottom of society.

I took a short break and checked the news to learn about the various strange and unusual things that had happened at the base recently.

Xu Feng quickly turned off the TV and went into the martial arts room to continue his training.

For the next ten days, his life became completely regular.

No matter how hard Xu Feng tried, he just couldn't get the hang of that breathing technique.

On the sixth day...

He can only complete five cycles of blood and qi circulation in one breath.

And this was already his limit.

Even Lu Fei and Xiao Dan felt the increasing pressure on Xu Feng.

Therefore, the two of them carefully avoided Xu Feng every day, giving him more time alone.

Time quickly passed to the ninth day.

"Whoosh—hiss—"

"call----"

"laugh----"

Xu Feng's chest heaved, his breathing sometimes rapid, sometimes slow.

He opened his eyes quickly, his face showing a thoughtful expression.

"At most seven times, stable at six times, but ten times is absolutely impossible."

Even if I had nine more days, I still couldn't do that.

It looks like the bet is going to be lost.

But Xu Feng did not give up; instead, he pondered how to break the deadlock.

Finally, he flipped his hand and took out a potion.

This was a "blood-burning agent" that he asked Liu Qingfeng, Lu Fei's senior, to buy from his colleagues at the hospital at a high price.

This thing sounds scary, but it's actually just a booster potion used to improve your condition during battle.

Its effect is to improve the heart's pumping ability, thereby increasing blood flow and enhancing the combat power of martial artists in a short period of time.

However, a side effect is that after using this drug, there will be a period of fatigue lasting almost a day.

Both will cause the user to feel weak all over.

Moreover, this medicine can only be taken once a month at most.

However, repeated occurrences can cause permanent damage to the heart.

"However, it should be fine if it's only used once."

Thinking of this, Xu Feng hesitated for a moment, then uncorked the potion, tilted his head back, and poured it into his mouth.

"Gudu."

A slightly bitter taste spread through my mouth.

Xu Feng, expressionless, began to readjust his breathing.

soon.

He felt a burning sensation all over his body, his heart was racing, and his blood was boiling.

Within a few breaths, he felt as if he was filled with inexhaustible energy.

The raging blood and qi flowed rapidly along Xu Feng's meridians and blood vessels, like a raging flood in a river!
"Hiss—" Xu Feng took a deep breath.

Then he slowly exhaled.

During this process, his blood and qi circulated rapidly.

once!
twice!

three times!

Until the tenth time!!

hum-

In an instant, Xu Feng seemed to hear the roar of raging waves resounding within his body.

A tingling sensation jolted him awake, and he threw a punch with a "bang".

call--

He could almost hear the sound of his blood flowing and his vital energy surging.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

His heart was pounding like a drum, but he no longer felt any discomfort or tightness.

It's like suddenly skipping over that bottleneck and entering a new, smooth road!
Become!

Xu Feng suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the panel.

Flying Star Crescent Blade - Beginner (1/200)

He grinned, then suddenly cried out in surprise and quickly sat down on the ground.

In just a moment, a wealth of knowledge and experience about this sword technique flooded his mind.

It was as if he had spent many years cultivating this sword technique, which contained many methods, to the point of mastering the basics.

From breathing techniques to sword skills, it even includes some basic body movement techniques!
It truly is a case of "once you understand one thing, you understand everything"!
