19: Return to the sect! Sixfold sword intent!

Six days later, early morning.

Zhang Yang was practicing Saber Techniques in the courtyard.

During these six days, Senior Jiang Dao had been giving Zhang Yang pointers.

Zhang Yang had gained a lot, and now he had finally created a new Saber Technique.

There were six moves in total; the first three were already perfect, but the latter three were only half-finished.

Zhang Yang needed more Saber Technique Martial Skills to truly finish deducing them.

According to Jiang Dao's estimation, the power of the first three moves had already reached the level of a Low Grade Earth Rank Martial Skill.

If the latter three moves were completed, the power of this Saber Technique might even reach Intermediate Earth Rank!

However, Jiang Dao wasn't too sure.

The gap between Intermediate Earth Rank and Low Grade Earth Rank was not as easily bridged as it was for Human Grade or Profound Rank.

Jiang Dao estimated that the final Saber Technique would be the best among Low Grade Earth Rank ones, but there would still be some gap compared to Intermediate Earth Rank.

During these six days, although Zhang Yang had been fusing and creating Martial Skills, he hadn't neglected his Saber Intent Cultivation.

Rather, in the process of fusing and creating Martial Skills, his Saber Intent Realm was also rising rapidly!

In six days, his Saber Intent had already reached the sixth level!

Part of the reason was also Senior Jiang Dao demonstrating his Saber Intent.

As for his cultivation, Zhang Yang had completely consumed the Purple Sun Pills, and his cultivation had now reached the third layer of the Spirit Aperture Realm.

Being able to progress so quickly was inseparable from Zhang Yang's unparalleled refining speed of the Purple Sun Pills.

Even Senior Jiang Dao marveled that Zhang Yang's current speed of refining Purple Sun Pills was no less than that of an ordinary Profound Core Realm expert.

"I wonder what level my combat power has reached now?" Zhang Yang sheathed his saber and stood still.

Zhang Yang was too lazy to name the new Saber Technique Martial Skill, so he simply called it Sovereign Extreme Heaven Severing.

Anyway, it was fused with this Saber Technique as the core.

The first three moves: Thunder Universe Void Breaker, Sovereign Hegemony of a Thousand Years, and Heaven-Severing Divine Perish.

Zhang Yang had currently reached Perfection in these three moves.

The latter three moves: Divine Thunder Sky-Supporting Slash, Sovereign Extreme Divine Blast, and Divine Universe Sky-Supporting Slash.

For these three moves, Zhang Yang still lacked some Saber Technique Martial Skills to fuse into them before they could reach Perfection.

Zhang Yang closed his eyes and continued to visualize the precious saber in his mind, comprehending Saber Intent.

As noon approached, Zhang Yang suddenly opened his eyes!

Smoke began to rise from his body, and it felt as if his entire internal being was on fire! It was incredibly scorching!

His skin turned even redder, and his body hair was directly incinerated into ash by a mysterious power, scattering with the wind.

His entire Physical Body seemed to be undergoing smelting, with all Impurities being removed.

In the next instant, the heat within his body dissipated, and the power of vitality appeared! Black hair grew wildly, cascading down like a waterfall.

His Physical Body became spotless, and his internal state underwent an earth-shaking transformation!

Looking inward, every muscle seemed newborn, radiating brilliance!

Even his blood emitted a strange fragrance; if a Mortal consumed it, it would be enough to grant them a life of a hundred years!

Zhang Yang opened his eyes, a sharp light flashing through them, and a divine glow wandered over the surface of his skin.

"The Great Sun True Fire Body Tempering Art has reached Perfection?" Zhang Yang felt the changes in his body, a wave of surprise washing over him.

His current body felt like it was newborn, possessing infinite strength; the power of a single punch was enough to split mountains!

His physical vitality was greater than ever before, making his spirit more active and clear.

He hadn't expected that reaching Perfection in the Great Sun True Fire Body Tempering Art would have such benefits!

"Is this the Physical Body capable of clashing head-on with a Xuandan expert?"

Zhang Yang clenched his fist, feeling the infinite power within this body, and couldn't help but feel full of confidence.

Just with this Physical Body alone, it would probably be enough to take first place in the Inner Sect, wouldn't it?

Zhang Yang fetched a set of clothes and put them on.

Now that the Great Sun True Fire Body Tempering Art had reached Major Achievement, there was naturally no need for him to be bare-chested anymore.

"Brother Zhang Yang!"

Jiang Haochuan and Ji Zhipeng walked over from a distance and were slightly stunned to see Zhang Yang not bare-chested.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, just came to tell you that we'll be returning to the Sect tomorrow morning," Jiang Haochuan said with a wave of his hand.

"Mhm, I understand," Zhang Yang nodded.

In the last few days, he had been so engrossed that he had almost forgotten the time.

Jiang Haochuan and the others left after they finished speaking.

Zhang Yang remained in the courtyard.

As for his current Saber Technique, he just needed more Saber Technique Martial Skills to push the latter three forms to Perfection.

This couldn't be done for now; he would have to wait until he returned to the Clear Wind Sect.

The Purple Sun Pills were gone, and the Great Sun True Fire Body Tempering Art had already reached Perfection.

Zhang Yang thought for a moment and took out a Martial Skill, "Overlord Fist," from his room.

This fist technique was obtained back when he wiped out the Evil Path Martial Artists' stronghold.

Although its rank was Low Grade Profound Rank, it was still decent.

"Mhm! I also need to Cultivate some close-combat methods."

"Otherwise, just relying on physical strength to throw wild punches won't do."

After thinking it over, Zhang Yang flipped through the "Overlord Fist" in his hand.

"System, simplify it for me!"

[Ding! Overlord Fist simplification in progress... Simplification successful!]

[Ding! Simplification result: Throw a straight punch!]

"Throwing punches?"

Seeing the simplification result, Zhang Yang nodded; it was just throwing a straight punch.

In the next instant, Zhang Yang struck out with both fists repeatedly, the wind from his punches whistling.

Since throwing one punch could increase proficiency, then with Zhang Yang's current physical strength,

ten punches a second! Even a hundred punches a second was not impossible!

This was also a method of accelerated cultivation that Zhang Yang had discovered.

Although the System's simplification function was powerful enough and the cultivation speed was fast enough,

Zhang Yang wanted to be even faster, so he thought of this method.

Before, he could throw three to five punches a second, but now he could throw thirty to fifty, causing his cultivation speed to rise by another ten times!

Unfortunately, things like the Great Sun True Fire Body Tempering Art and comprehending Saber Intent, which grew passively, couldn't be accelerated this way.

But Zhang Yang was already satisfied!

Punch!

Endless punching!

From noon until night, and from night until morning.

In the morning, Zhang Yang's body was extremely exhausted, his clothes were already soaked, and sweat gathered into a puddle beneath his feet.

This sweat even emitted a clear fragrance; to put it bluntly, Zhang Yang's Physical Body had already become a precious medicine.

A single drop of blood or sweat could benefit a Mortal greatly!

Zhang Yang's gaze became even firmer; although his punches had slowed down, they were more powerful!

Boom!

As the final punch was thrown, Zhang Yang let out a long sigh of relief.

"Overlord Fist" has reached Perfection!

"In one day, a Low Grade Profound Rank Martial Skill reached Perfection. Who would believe it?"

The corners of Zhang Yang's mouth curled up into a smile.

With the support of his powerful Physical Body, the cultivation speed of Overlord Fist had increased by far more than ten times.

Before, he needed to rest halfway, but now, punching with full force for a day, he didn't even need a break—it was just a bit tiring.

"It seems I need to continue improving my physical strength in the future!"

Zhang Yang mused that after returning, he should ask around in the Clear Wind Sect to see if there were any other Body Refining Cultivation Techniques.

Ideally, something even stronger than the Great Sun True Fire Body Tempering Art!

With a thought from Zhang Yang, the True Essence within his body circulated, and his entire person immediately became incredibly clean, even his clothes were dried.

"Looking at the time, it's about time to return to the Clear Wind Sect!" Zhang Yang looked up at the sky.

At this moment, Jiang Haochuan and the others appeared from nearby, carrying two large bundles in their hands.

"Here, Zhang Yang, these are the one thousand Purple Sun Pills we promised you."

While speaking, Jiang Haochuan handed one of the bundles to Zhang Yang.

He then pulled a book from his robe and gave it to Zhang Yang.

"My father told me to give this to you; I don't know what's written inside."

"Thank you!"

Zhang Yang took the bundle and the book, opened the book to take a look, and it turned out to be all sorts of insights into Saber Intent from Jiang Dao!

Zhang Yang was slightly shocked; this was actually so precious!

Compared to this book of Saber Intent insights, a thousand Purple Sun Pills were not even worth mentioning!

Seeing Zhang Yang accept the two items, Jiang Haochuan nodded and said:

"Let's go, it's time to head back to the Sect!"
