My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 298 News
The number of first-tier spells within the sect is almost as vast as the ocean.

It's practically impossible to complete all the training in a short period of time.

For the past three months,
Repeated practice
Master each first-tier spell to perfection.

There wasn't much passion.
Like workers on an assembly line, they tirelessly tighten screws day and night.

I'm quite exhausted, both mentally and physically.

"I wonder how much experience will be gained from the perfection attribute after mastering a second-tier spell to perfection?"

"The improvement I might get is much greater than the effort I put into mastering a first-tier spell."

"Let's try it first."

"If it works well, then we'll practice a few more second-tier spells first."

"By then, with enough accumulated cultivation experience, perhaps a few more glances will be enough to perfect a first-tier spell."

An idea formed in my mind.

Shen Changchuan also took action quickly.

After some selection

In the end, Shen Changchuan selected three second-tier spells.

The Green Lotus Soul-Severing Sword moves with lightning speed, and the thick earth acts as a mountain to defend.

The directions they represent are offense, movement, and defense.

This can increase Shen Changchuan's ability to fight enemies.

After some thought.
Shen Changchuan ultimately decided to first cultivate Thunder Shadow Swift Movement.

Because of the attack aspect,

There's not much difference between having one more Qingping Soul-Severing Sword and having one less.

Anyway, I have my innate supernatural power.

When they're fighting tooth and nail, they'll never be short of trump cards.

As for defense...
He possessed a precious bronze bell.
The defensive capabilities of a magical artifact are significantly stronger than those of a simple magical defense.

For the time being, defensive measures are not the most urgent need.

in contrast,

Only in terms of movement techniques is Shen Changchuan's "weak point".

He had already benefited from the advantages of movement techniques and magic when he fought against Wu Zhen's little disciple.

Furthermore, if you encounter an enemy you can't defeat, mastering movement techniques and spells will at least allow you to escape.

As a result,
What reason would Shen Changchuan have not to cultivate Thunder Shadow Swift Movement first?

So not long after,
Shen Changchuan plunged headlong into the Thunder Shadow Swiftness, a second-tier movement technique.

"It's a pity. I have accumulated the most experience in wood and sword techniques. Although I have also accumulated some experience in lightning and movement techniques, it is still not as much as the former. Otherwise, it would be much easier."

Three days later,
He successfully mastered the Thunder Shadow Swift Movement technique.
But looking at the progress bar panel, which showed 7% progress after the line for the second-tier spell Thunder Shadow Swiftness,...

Shen Changchuan couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Only after he actually began to cultivate second-tier spells did Shen Changchuan realize how difficult these spells were to master!

Unlike first-tier spells, which simply convert mana into elemental attacks,
Second-tier spells already involve the use of divine sense and a fundamental change in the nature of certain powers!

Just like the nature transformation mentioned in Naruto, one of the three major shonen manga I watched in my previous life.

Second-tier spells exhibit similar changes in the nature of mana!

It is precisely because of the change and enhancement in the nature of the force that
It just now brought great destructive power to the second-tier spells, which even cultivators at the same Nascent Soul stage could not easily ignore.

just,

Mastering second-tier spells is too difficult!

Even with the experience gained from accumulating progress bars,
Shen Changchuan also spent a lot of effort to master it.

The perfect characteristics of many previously perfected first-order spells.
They only increased the progress bar to 7%.

"No wonder the battles of cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage tend to resemble those of fantasy martial artists, rather than turn-based battles where each person stands still and uses spells to exchange blows."

“Cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage are extremely fast, and their spells are not very effective in battle if they are not fully perfected.”

"If the initial learning of second-tier spells is already so difficult, then to cultivate them to perfection and achieve instantaneous casting is even more extremely difficult."

"In the end, physical attacks are still more cost-effective. Only after mana and energy have been depleted to a certain extent will second-tier spells be used for attack." At this moment...

Compared to what was previously known,
A look of understanding flashed through Shen Changchuan's mind.

When masters clash,

The outcome hinges on a single point.

When fighting the enemy
Given the speed of cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, they probably wouldn't even have time to cast their spells before the enemy's attack arrives.

Using second-tier spells indiscriminately during battle is practically giving the opponent an opportunity.

Thus, the battle at the Out-of-Body Realm...
It's not surprising that the fighting style, which is basically all about punches and kicks, is gradually shifting towards a fantasy martial arts style.

Perhaps in a place where cultivation is more prevalent and prosperity is greater,

The battle art style might be different.

After all, places where cultivation is more prosperous would not lack treasures and the like.

Perhaps the cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage in those places mainly rely on exchanging blows with practical magical artifacts.

but now,
The area near the Dragon Cloud Sect is a barren land in the cultivation world.

Therefore, we naturally couldn't witness the clash of those magical artifacts.

Shen Changchuan's thoughts were scattered.

However, he did not stop diligently practicing the second-tier spell, Thunder Shadow Swiftness.

Through repeated rigorous training and real combat,
The progress bar on the Thunder Shadow Swift Movement panel was gradually increasing.

only,
As a second-tier spell, Thunder Shadow Swiftness consumes a significant amount of resources.

After a cultivator reaches the Out-of-Body realm, both the quality and the sheer amount of magical power within their body undergo a qualitative leap.

This also means,

After Shen Changchuan exhausted all his magical power, it would take at least half a day to fully restore it.

If spirit stones are used to assist in cultivation, this time can be greatly reduced.

However, this also requires a huge amount of spirit stones!

To save time,

Shen Changchuan was not stingy with the consumption of spirit stones.

But in this way,
He watched helplessly as all his spirit stones vanished at a visible rate.

This made him feel a pang of heartache.

Fortunately, a month later,
He eventually succeeded in mastering the second-tier spell, Thunder Shadow Swiftness, to perfection.

of course,

The price he paid was that he had almost no spirit stones left in his pocket.

Fortunately,

It's all worth it.

Second-tier spells:
Thunder Shadow Swiftness: 100% (Perfect Trait: Slight increase in spell speed, slight experience in lightning-based movement techniques)

The description is not much different from that of a first-order spell after it has been perfected.

The only difference is that the terms for power and cultivation experience have changed from "slightly" and "negligible" to "somewhat".

I don't know how much this 'little bit' is.

It should be a little better than the previous ones that were 'slightly' or 'negligible'.

Shen Changchuan pondered in his heart.

At the same time, he also began to try to master the perfected Raikage Swift Movement.

Unsurprisingly,
This perfected movement technique is still instantaneous.

And it follows one's heart.

It allows Shen Changchuan to use it anytime, anywhere.

at this point,
This undoubtedly gives Shen Changchuan a huge advantage in battle!

Meanwhile, while Shen Changchuan was pondering the Thunder Shadow Swift Movement...
The arrival of a message talisman,
His ascetic practice was interrupted.
