Chaotic World of Martial Arts: I Have a Spirit Pearl of Desire

[Information 1: The women you rescued, fearing retaliation and distrusting the government, all chose to secretly return home, and all have returned safely.]

[Information 2: The Fang family discovered the deaths of Liu Yan and others and secretly investigated, but unfortunately, they made little progress.]

At the entrance of Yanyang Martial Arts School.

Chen You glanced at the message, then stepped inside.

"Senior Brother Chen, you're back!!"

When Zhang Huo saw Chen You, he quickly came over to greet him.

"Yes, I'm back. Where's Master?"

"She's in the backyard; my senior sister is there too."

Chen You patted Zhang Huo on the shoulder: "Okay, I'll go say hello first, you can practice slowly."

Upon arriving at the backyard, they immediately saw Master Yang Yan standing with Senior Sister Yang Zhenzhen, chatting quietly about something.

Even now, in front of outsiders, Yang Yan still pretends to be seriously injured and not yet recovered.

After all, the martial arts school was still secretly investigating traitors, and in order not to alert the enemy, they had to use this to lull the enemy lurking in the shadows.

"Hey, Junior Brother Chen, you're back." Yang Zhenzhen was the first to notice Chen You as he entered the courtyard, and greeted him with a smile.

Chen You stepped forward, cupped her hands in greeting, and said with a smile, "Senior Sister, I just passed by the market and bought you some pastries."

As he spoke, he took out several boxes of crispy pastries, carefully wrapped in oil paper, from his pocket and handed them over.

Then, he took out a heavy package from behind him and said to Yang Yan, "Master, this is a pair of soft-soled cotton shoes that I brought for you in Sanhewan Town."

The cotton shoes were very well made, using the finest thick navy blue fabric.

The inside is filled with fine cotton wool for warmth, and the soles are tightly stitched, making them both breathable and warm. It's clear that a lot of thought went into selecting them.

Yang Yan took the cotton shoes, glanced at them, and deliberately put on a stern face, saying, "Why waste money? You're not exactly rolling in dough, so don't buy them next time."

Chen You just grinned and didn't reply.

At this moment, Yang Zhenzhen seemed to suddenly remember something, her expression turned serious, and her tone carried a hint of surprise: "By the way, Junior Brother Chen, Luo Yan came by yesterday... She said that your current strength... has really broken through to the third rank??"

"Not bad, a lucky breakthrough." Chen You nodded calmly.

"hiss!!!!"

Although they were somewhat prepared, Yang Zhenzhen and her apprentice Yang Yan still couldn't help but gasp when Chen You admitted it to them!

Such a young rank three martial artist, the speed of his improvement is simply unheard of!

"Chen You... your talent for cultivation is truly the best I've ever seen in my life, without exception." Yang Yan looked at his proud disciple and couldn't help but sigh, his eyes filled with satisfaction and emotion.

He hadn't been very optimistic about it before.

But Chen You surprised him.

He is very pleased now.

With such skill, there's a worthy successor.

Yang Zhenzhen added from the side, "Junior brother, Luo Yan recounted everything that happened to you yesterday in detail. Dad and I have discussed it, and if you take any further action, the entire martial arts school will fully cooperate with you!"

Upon hearing this, Chen You was overjoyed and cupped her hands, saying, "Thank you, Master, thank you, Senior Sister! With the support of the martial arts school, things will be much easier."

"Alright!" Yang Yan patted Chen You on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Chen You, now that you've crossed the threshold of the third rank, some rules can be changed. I've said before that one shouldn't blindly cultivate weapons before reaching the second rank, lest one bite off more than one can chew and neglect one's foundation of qi and blood. Now that you've established your foundation, I can formally pass on weapon techniques to you! I see you usually use a knife, so I'll teach you a set of knife techniques, how about that?"

He came here specifically to ask for a sword technique.

The Yan Yang Martial Arts School has a variety of sword techniques, some graceful and agile, others swift as the wind.

However, the most powerful and famous of them all is Yang Yan's signature technique, the "Overlord Blade Technique"!

Among the martial arts school disciples, a saying about this sword technique has always circulated: "When the Overlord Blade is drawn, who can contend with it! One strike cuts through water, two strikes cleave the air, three strikes subdue a dragon brimming with blood!!"

It emphasizes a domineering and unstoppable momentum.

When Yang Yan first arrived here, he inadvertently offended a powerful local gang.

Facing an attack by dozens of gangsters, Yang Yan, wielding a broken knife, fought his way from one end of the street to the other, killing dozens of skilled men in the process.

At that moment, he was using the formidable Overlord Blade Technique!

Without further hesitation, Chen You clasped his hands in a fist salute and declared loudly, "Master, I wish to learn the Overlord Blade Technique!"

"Hahaha! I knew you wanted to learn this!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Yan threw his head back and laughed, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes. He patted Chen You on the shoulder and said, "However, you're strong and have abundant blood and energy, so you're going for a fierce and powerful style. The aura and techniques of the Overlord Blade Technique are indeed most suitable for you!!!"

As he spoke, Yang Yan turned to Yang Zhenzhen beside him and called out, "Zhenzhen, go and get that wooden sword you use for practice."

"Okay!!" Yang Zhenzhen responded and quickly brought over a practice wooden knife made of driftwood from the side room and handed it over.

Yang Yan took the wooden knife and held it in his hand. His body, which had been hunched over from pretending to be injured, straightened up instantly.

Although he restrained his explosive power to guard against traitors, the chilling sword intent accumulated from his rampage through the streets still suddenly emanated.

"Chen You, watch!"

Yang Yan let out a low shout, stood with his sword held horizontally, and his eyes instantly became incredibly sharp: "The core of this Overlord Blade Technique lies in the word 'overlord'! The strike must be ruthless, and the momentum must be overwhelming! The power originates from the ground, starting with the feet stomping on the ground and generating force from the waist and hips, channeling all the blood and energy in the body along the spine to the blade in one go, unleashing a strike that surpasses the limits!"

Having said that, Yang Yan slowed down his movements, breaking down each move of the Overlord Blade Technique, demonstrating and explaining in detail as he went: "First move, Sky-Splitting! The blade strikes like thunder, unstoppable, never looking back!"

The wooden sword cleaved through the air, producing a dull whistling sound.

"The second move, Water Severance! Sweeping across the vast world, overwhelming with sheer force! As long as the blood and qi continue, this horizontal slash will shatter even the strongest iron wall in its path!"

Yang Yan turned his foot and swung his wooden sword horizontally, his move extremely wide and domineering.

"The third move, Blood Dragon Subjugation! This is the killing move of the Overlord Blade Technique, which emphasizes continuous, uninterrupted strikes, fusing the burst of blood energy and sword intent throughout the body into one..."

As Yang Yan gestured, he spoke rapidly, meticulously explaining to Chen You the core three stances of the Overlord Blade Technique, along with its nine variations, breathing rhythms, and the routes of blood circulation.

Chen You stared intently, mentally comparing Yang Yan's movements with his own already mastered martial arts skills.

The previously somewhat obscure sword techniques and energy flow became exceptionally clear and transparent in his eyes.

Half an hour later, Yang Yan sheathed his sword, wiped the slight sweat from his brow, and smiled as he handed the wooden sword to Chen You: "This Overlord Blade Technique emphasizes intent over form. The moves aren't complicated; the difficulty lies in the ruthless burst of energy from your qi and blood. How's it going? How much have you memorized?"

"Reporting to Master, this disciple has basically memorized everything." Chen You took the wooden sword and smiled slightly.

The moment he grasped the wooden sword, Chen You focused his mind and looked inward. He saw light flowing across the Desire Beads in his mind, and a new line of text appeared: [Overlord Blade Technique: Not Yet Entered]

Upon seeing this, Chen You was overjoyed!

With the record of the rosary of desire, the subsequent improvement was simply a natural progression.

Next, under Yang Yan's guidance, Chen You began to familiarize himself with the moves of the Overlord Blade Technique.

Just then, two disciples dressed in Luo family attire walked in.

"Master Yang, something terrible has happened! My Miss Luo Yan has gone missing!!"
