140: Improved Shadow Sword Technique

Li Fei then said, "I can give you this Vajra Barrier, but how to obtain a large amount of Qi and blood is not something I can solve."

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly: "I didn't plan to learn Senior Brother Li Fei's trump card all at once. It's good enough to have the Vajra Barrier. As for the Qi and blood, I'll figure it out slowly, no rush."

Li Fei took out a scroll from his Storage Ring and handed it to Lu Xingchen.

Lu Xingchen took the scroll, and in an instant, all the information about the "Vajra Barrier" appeared in his mind.

Lu Xingchen instantly learned this High-Grade Earth Rank Martial Skill.

Lu Xingchen cupped his hands to Li Fei and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Li Fei. I will study it diligently when I return."

Li Fei waved his hand: "It's just mutual help, no need for thanks."

After walking out of Li Fei's Immortal Cave, Lu Xingchen began to ponder the Vajra Barrier.

So-called Qi and blood is actually health points.

Trading health points for defense, after using the Vajra Barrier, is quite a good deal.

It can even turn the tide of battle at critical moments.

The invincible potion has a one-day cooldown, and during this gap, the "Vajra Barrier" becomes especially important.

However, he didn't have Li Fei's massive Qi and blood, so the "Vajra Barrier" couldn't be used continuously; it could only be a trump card.

After understanding this, Lu Xingchen went to Long Chen's Immortal Cave.

After some polite exchanges, the two entered the Immortal Cave to discuss swordsmanship.

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice: "Senior Brother Long Chen, that sword you used to deal with the first Thousand Zhang Water Beast was truly too powerful. At the Realm of a One-star Martial King, you nearly killed a fifth tier five-star water beast. Can you teach me your swordsmanship?"

Long Chen nodded lightly: "I'll give you two choices. First, my Blazing Flame Sword Art is a high-grade Earth-Rank Martial Skill; I can teach it to you. Second, I'll teach you how to improve your own swordsmanship. The former is simpler, the latter requires a lot of time and dedication."

Lu Xingchen didn't hesitate at all and immediately replied: "Of course it's the latter! Compared to obtaining a high-grade Earth-Rank Martial Skill, I'd rather improve my fundamental swordsmanship."

Long Chen nodded slightly: "To be able to resist the temptation of an Earth-Rank Martial Skill, Junior Brother Lu, you are indeed no ordinary person. Then let me tell you about the principles behind my swordsmanship research."

"I was born with a clear sword heart, able to easily understand and learn swordsmanship. After studying dozens of Earth Rank sword arts, I combined their strengths with my own practical situation to create the Blazing Flame Sword Art."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen was greatly astonished.

Holy cow!

A Cangxuan Sect Disciple under 30 years old could actually create a Martial Skill, and a earth rank high grade one at that!

That's truly incredible, like the mother of awesome opening the door to awesome, awesome to the extreme!

Indeed, the Tianyuan Continent is never lacking in Genius.

He had already met Jiang E, Li Fei, and Long Chen, three peerless Geniuses, just in the Cangxuan Sect. So, how many young prodigies would there be in Central Qingzhou, or even the Central Continent?

Lu Xingchen gave Long Chen a thumbs up: "You're amazing! As expected of the number one on the Earth Ranking!"

Long Chen smiled: "The Earth Ranking is a thing of the past. Now we should compete for the Heaven Ranking."

"Junior Brother Lu, you also use a sword. How did you obtain your sword art? What grade is it?"

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice: "My sword art is called the Shadow Sword Art. It's a Legacy from a Senior, earth rank low grade."

Long Chen nodded slightly: "I can replicate the path I've taken on you, teach you how to deconstruct Earth Rank sword arts and optimize your swordsmanship. We'll strive to raise your Shadow Sword Art to earth rank mid grade."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen was overjoyed.

"If it can really succeed, the benefits I gain will be far more than just an earth rank mid grade Martial Skill; it will be an all-around improvement in my understanding of swordsmanship. Senior Brother Long Chen, I want to learn!"

Long Chen said in a deep voice: "However, my success relied on my clear sword heart. If Junior Brother Lu doesn't have my talent, improving the Shadow Sword Art will be extremely difficult."

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice: "No matter how hard or difficult, I must learn! This is a business with huge profits!"

Long Chen nodded slightly: "Since Junior Brother Lu has this determination, I will teach you everything I know. However, I also need to Cultivate in the Spirit Gathering Pagoda, so Junior Brother Lu can come to me every other day to discuss swordsmanship. I promise that as long as Junior Brother Lu doesn't give up, I will teach you until you learn it, and I will never abandon you halfway!"

Lu Xingchen felt a little moved and cupped his hands to Long Chen in a salute.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Long Chen!"

One must know that both of them had just entered the inner sect and were facing immense pressure from the Senior Disciples. It was a time when they needed to focus on diligent Cultivation.

But at this time, Long Chen was willing to use half of his time to teach him swordsmanship.

This kindness was truly immense!

Long Chen chuckled: "Actually, helping you is also helping myself. Teaching a student allows me to view my Blazing Flame Sword Art from another perspective, which is also very helpful for improving my swordsmanship."

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice: "That's two different things. Regardless, I, Lu Xingchen, will remember Senior Brother Long Chen's kindness."

Long Chen smiled: "You're quite polite. In that case, let's begin today's lesson!"

Long Chen's teaching method was very simple: learn Earth Rank sword arts, then practice them, then deconstruct them, and finally summarize them.

He brought out dozens of Earth Rank sword arts he had collected over the years and shared them with Lu Xingchen.

And what Lu Xingchen paid was merely a profound grade high-rank "Heaven Swallowing Art."

Lu Xingchen felt like he had made a huge profit and was even more grateful to Long Chen.

Lu Xingchen's learning speed was very fast because he had the System.

As long as he touched these Earth Rank sword arts, he could instantly reach the Major Achievement level, and there were basically no problems during practice.

Thus, the process of learning and practicing consumed almost no time; he only needed to deconstruct and summarize.

Long Chen was also greatly astonished.

Lu Xingchen's learning speed was actually faster than his, who possessed a "clear sword heart"!

A peerless Genius!

And so, Lu Xingchen Cultivated in the Spirit Gathering Pagoda while learning swordsmanship from Long Chen.

A month passed like this.

Within this month, Lu Xingchen raised his Realm to Two-star Martial King, learned most of Long Chen's swordsmanship philosophy, and successfully upgraded the grade of "Shadow Sword Art" and shadow sword to earth rank mid grade.

Inside Long Chen's Immortal Cave.

The "Shadow Sword Art" successfully upgraded, reaching earth rank mid grade.

Long Chen said in shock: "To be able to improve the Shadow Sword Art in just one month, Junior Brother Lu, you truly are a Dao of the sword Genius! Compared to you, my clear sword heart is a joke."

Lu Xingchen cupped his hands to Long Chen in a salute.

"Senior Brother Long Chen, you exaggerate. I merely followed your path, copied it once, which is why it was faster. In terms of swordsmanship talent, you are far above me."
