Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Chu Yunfan employed the Earth Splitting Saber Technique but he did not increase his speed. He was not using all of his strength. Otherwise, he surely would have been much faster. However, this made his moves more complete.

This was also the core of the Earth Splitting Saber Technique. It seemed like every move was about splitting a mountain and winning with strength. However, this was only what it looked like on the surface. What was truly terrifying was the endless series of killing moves that followed. One after another,

each move was better than the last. This was the most terrifying part of this technique.

Many people who practiced the Earth Splitting Saber Technique would only realize this after practicing it for several years. Unless a mentor was guiding the person, or the person had watched online martial arts tutorial videos of a master, would the practitioner possibly pick out all the finer points of this

technique.

However, Chu Yunfan was different. The moment he started practicing the Earth Splitting Saber Technique, he had already understood the crux of this technique. What was talent? This was.

He could understand with just a single glance and draw inferences from it!

shnng!

shnng!

shnng!

Chu Yunfan continued to perform the Earth Splitting Saber Technique. The speed of each strike was not fast, but the power behind each of them became increasingly more and more terrifying.

Chu Yunfan practiced continuously in this way for some time. He entered a state of hyperfocus and completely ignored the people around him who were also practicing their martial skills. The others were also immersed in practicing their own weapons and martial skills. They were completely focused

and did not pay much attention to Chu Yunfan.

Just like that, Chu Yunfan continued to practice. After some time, he got tired and hungry. After downing a vitality potion to replenish his strength, he continued to practice. He practiced continuously from morning until afternoon.

shnng!

As Chu Yunfan delivered the final strike, not only did a terrifying aura cut through the air, the blade of the saber trembled slightly as well.

“It’s done. I’ve reached the Competent Stage!”

A smile appeared on his face. After practicing for more than half a day, he had finally reached the Competent Stage of the Earth Splitting Saber Technique. He was only one step away from reaching the Impeccable Stage and had directly skipped over the Elementary Stage.

In fact, among the four martial skill stages—Elementary Stage, Competent Stage, Impeccable Stage, and Perfection Stage—the Elementary Stage was the easiest. As long as one set of martial skills could be employed continuously, in theory, the person would have already achieved the Competent Stage. action

‘When the entire set of martial skills could be employed smoothly, one would have reached the Impeccable Stage. This stage was nothing more than practice. No matter what martial skill was practiced, as long as they were to practice it thousands of times over, one would definitely reach the Impeccable

Stage.

Reaching the Perfection Stage depended on one’s comprehension of the martial skills. The linking of various moves without any pauses in between was considered the Perfection Stage. At this point, there were already very few flaws in this set of martial skills.

‘The real difficulty was reaching perfection. To be able to comprehend the core essence of this set of martial skills, one had to pay attention to the intent before the move. It was just like when Chu Yunfan had used the Devilish Tiger Punches. Even if he had his eyes closed, he would still feel like a ferocious

tiger.

At this moment, a shrill sound pierced through the air, accompanied by the sound of vibrating metal. A spear covered in sparks suddenly appeared in front of Chu Yunfan. Almost instinctively, Chu Yunfan raised his arm and slashed out with his saber.

Clang!

The clear, thrilling sound of metal clashing rang out.

The momentum of this long spear was interrupted. At this moment, Chu Yunfan had time to raise his head to look at the owner of the spear. His attacker was none other than Gao Hongzhi who was looking at him with a cheeking smile on his face.

After being repelled by Chu Yunfan, Gao Hongzhi took a step back and felt the body of the spear trembling. He was secretly shocked. In a crisis, instinctive reaction was no joke.

At this moment, he got a small taste of his good friend’s strength. Gao Hongzhi had not poured his full strength in this spear attack. After all, he was not trying to kill Chu Yunfan. However, Chu Yunfan, who had hurriedly slashed out his saber, also had not used his full strength.

However, after the exchange, Gao Hongzhi had to take a step back to dissipate the force of the blow. Meanwhile, Chu Yunfan’s body only swayed slightly and he had already dissipated the force of the blow. In an instant, just through a glance, the difference in their physiques was obvious.

However, this stirred Gao Hongzhi’s competitive spirit. He looked at Chu Yunfan and said, “Yunfan, come. We’ve yet to exchange blows since we received our weapon!”

“Come on then. Don’t cry when you lose to me!” Chu Yunfan also said, unwilling to be outdone.

“The one who’ll cry is you. What I learned is not the cheap stuff popularized by the Federal Government. The spear technique I’ve learned is called the Firestorm Spear Technique. No other technique rivals it!” Gao Hongzhi said with a chuckle.

‘The duel between the two immediately attracted the attention of many students. At this time, most people were still familiarizing themselves with their weapons and these two were already about to duel.

Especially since both of them were elites in the class who had already stepped into the Qi Sea Stage. Although they were not the strongest ones in the class, these two were evenly matched.

Many people regarded the two as opponents. Only by knowing oneself and the enemy could one win a hundred battles. It was a good opportunity to assess the strength of these two.

“Then let’s give it a go!” Chu Yunfan was also eager to duel.

“Here I come! Eat my spear!” Gao Hongzhi called out.

His 12-meter-long spear made a beautiful arc and instantly shot out like a lightning bolt. This set of Firestorm Spear Techniques emphasized speed, so it was very fast.

The long spear hurtled directly toward Chu Yunfan’s face. From the earlier attack, Gao Hongzhi also knew that this good friend of his was no ordinary person. He could attack with all his strength without having to hold back.

Chu Yunfan was not willing to be outdone. He slashed out with the saber in his hand. The force from his saber was thick and heavy. In that instant, it felt like a mountain crashing down.

It was ominous and incomparably powerful!

Clang!

The loud sound of metal clashing rang out. This time, the two sides were different from before. Neither one held back. Immediately, the intensity of the surrounding atmosphere increased.

‘The long spear in Gao Hongzhi’s hand retreated. During the exchange with Chu Yunfan just now, he knew that Chu Yunfan’s strength was incomparable. He himself already belonged to the group of people who had incomparable strength. Who knew that Chu Yunfan was even stronger than him?

He immediately changed his strategy. He did not strike Chu Yunfan head-on. Instead, when he was about to touch Chu Yunfan, he pulled back, employing his speed advantage to the extreme.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

The two sides engaged in an intense battle. At this moment, the expressions on the faces of the spectating students became solemn. Both of them had extraordinary strength.

‘Two types of martial skills. One was as fast as lightning while the other was heavy and powerful. However, in the hands of two different people, both techniques displayed astonishing power.

To the students who were only in the Qi Nourishment Stage, they felt that these two were too much for their eyes to take in. They could feel that both of these people were extremely strong.
