Progress

Lu Hong!

A look of surprise flashed across Lu Yang's face. This man really couldn't stand being talked about. He had just been thinking about Lu Hong when Lu Hong appeared.

wrong!

Qi Refining Level 4!

The last time I saw Lu Hong was only a year ago. In such a short time, it wouldn't even be enough to forge a spiritual body, let alone cultivate to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

As a dignified immortal descendant of the Lu family, the Great Ancestor would not be so unwise as to skip even the crucial steps of building a spiritual body and nurturing spiritual energy.

Moreover, judging from Lu Hong's current state, it doesn't seem like he hasn't formed a spiritual body.

A cultivator's foundation can be discerned. Just like the demon who wanted to possess Lu Yang, he could tell at a glance that Lu Yang was a good candidate for possession.

Lu Hong in front of us is just like that. If he walked down the street, he would probably attract a lot of attention from demonic cultivators.

"Thank you for your trouble, cousin."

As expected of a disciple taught by the Great Ancestor, he was not only polite and respectful, but also gave people a sense of closeness. He was not like the characters in novels and stories who looked down on everyone in the world and even despised their own clansmen because of their great talent.

"You're too kind, cousin."

Lu Hong led Lu Yang to a thatched hut. Yes, it was a thatched hut. Lu Yang didn't expect that Lu Changkong, like him, had a taste for that.

Of course, although it is still a thatched hut, the different people living there make it extraordinary.

Take this thatched hut for example. Perhaps because Lu Changfeng often practiced swordsmanship here, it exudes a unique charm. Lu Yang only glanced at it a few times and felt that he had gained a deeper understanding of the basic thirty-six sword techniques.

If one could cultivate here for an extended period, it would likely make learning swordsmanship much more efficient.

"Xuanyang pays respects to the Second Ancestor."

However, Lu Yang didn't linger and bowed directly. After all, this was his second ancestor, who had also taught him swordsmanship, so their relationship was naturally extraordinary.

"Come in."

Upon entering the thatched hut, Lu Yang looked at Lu Changfeng in the main hall. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but Lu Yang felt that Lu Changfeng seemed to be displaying a sharp edge at this moment.

How to put it? Yes, it's like a sword that has been drawn from its sheath. Just the sword energy emanating from it is enough to make Lu Yang's spiritual energy tremble.

"It's strange that you, instead of tending your four acres of spiritual fields and managing your farming business, have time to come here."

Although Lu Changkong said this, there was obvious joy on his face. In Lu Changkong's opinion, Lu Yang must have figured it out, realized that farming had no future, and was preparing to study swordsmanship properly, which is why he came to find him.

Lu Yang was startled upon hearing this. After all, it was his ancestor, who knew about how his two acres of Seven Spirit Fields had been turned into four acres.

You must understand that Lu Yang had already used a large array to block them. How could ordinary people know, without going to see for themselves, that he was actually at the Foundation Establishment stage and possessed methods and abilities that those at the Qi Refining stage did not know?

"Hehe, it's because I've made some progress in my swordsmanship and was preparing to ask the Second Ancestor for guidance. I also happened to receive a legacy, but I'm a little hesitant to make a decision, so I came to ask the Second Ancestor for advice."

Indeed, there has been progress in kendo!

Upon hearing this, Lu Changfeng was overjoyed and immediately came to Lu Yang's side. "Come on, draw your sword, let me show you."

As for the inheritance Lu Yang mentioned, Lu Changfeng didn't take it seriously at all. After all, Lu Yang was just a cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining. What kind of inheritance could he possibly have that would make him look at him differently?

Qi Refining Level 4!

Lu Changfeng was lost in thought about the sword path when he realized that Lu Yang had already reached the fourth level of Qi Refining. Considering his lazy, farming nature, his cultivation speed was truly remarkable.

Thinking of this, Lu Changfeng was even more satisfied. Every inheritance of these cultivation families is extremely precious. His swordsmanship is now the essence of the Lu family. Life is unpredictable, and it would be a real pity if it could not be passed down.

However, the way of the sword is difficult to cultivate, and after so long, Lu Changfeng has not been able to find a suitable successor in the clan.

Lu Yang's appearance was a pleasant surprise to him.

Lu Yang was naturally unaware of Lu Changfeng's thoughts. Now that he had mastered all thirty-six basic sword techniques and was even close to achieving minor mastery in some of them, he needed someone to practice with. Lu Changfeng was willing to provide guidance, which Lu Yang was naturally eager to receive.

With the Azure Cang Sword in hand, he thrust straight at Lu Changfeng's lower body.

Lu Changfeng, who was initially pleased to see Lu Yang draw his sword, immediately turned pale upon seeing Lu Yang's movements. Although such a sword strike was somewhat unexpected, using such a strange and ingenious technique with such a magnificent sword art was an insult to the Thunderclap Sword Art!

boom!

With a burst of sword energy, Lu Changfeng maintained his cultivation at the fourth level of Qi Refining and suppressed it directly.

Lu Yang felt as if he were being crushed by a mountain, and the pressure increased exponentially. However, in a moment of enlightenment, Lu Yang obtained the Three-Part Sword Shadow of Thunderclap on Flat Ground. The essence of Thunderclap on Flat Ground was an Unyielding Sword Soul.

Now that Lu Changfeng has suppressed the attack with his sword energy, it has instead stirred up Lu Yang's indomitable spirit.

The insights gained during his sudden enlightenment immediately filled his mind. Without thinking too much, Lu Yang changed his thrusting motion with his longsword, unleashing the Thunderclap Technique – Thunderclap from Flat Ground.

It's important to understand that his sword strike wasn't intended to specifically target the lower body; it was simply a variation in swordsmanship, designed to catch people off guard.

What is the way of the sword? It is simply the way of killing. Why make so many elaborations? When facing an enemy, the way to subdue and behead them is the true path.

All these changes are ultimately for the purpose of killing; there is no distinction between high and low.

"good!"

Seeing Lu Yang's move, Lu Changfeng couldn't help but shout, "Thunderclap from flat ground!" This was indeed Thunderclap from flat ground! This wasn't a basic sword technique; it was the true Thunderclap Sword Art. Although Lu Yang had only mastered three-tenths of the sword shadow, it had already surprised Lu Changfeng enough.

Lu Changfeng was a master swordsman, so how could he not see Lu Yang's current state? He immediately switched from offense to defense and began to train Lu Yang in moves.

Maintaining a moderate level of pressure allowed Lu Yang to strike with a natural ease, because under such a crisis, Lu Yang had no time to think and could only rely on instinct to strike.

Lu Yang knew perfectly well that now was the best time to practice his swordsmanship, so he immediately channeled his stored fortune into his swordsmanship.

Body tempering can be practiced at any time, but opportunities to make great progress in swordsmanship are rare. Now, by using one's luck, one can reap several times the rewards.

With the blessing of good fortune, Lu Yang suddenly entered a state of enlightenment.

Lu Yang drew his sword again, and the Thunderclap from the Ground in his hand was no longer just a three-part sword shadow, but a four-part, a five-part, a six-part sword shadow...

With Lu Changfeng's sparring, Lu Yang's swordsmanship improved rapidly.

The three forms of Thunderclap all originate from the thirty-six basic sword forms. With the improvement of Thunderclap from flat ground, the thirty-six basic sword forms will naturally advance by leaps and bounds.

It is unknown how much time has passed, until Lu Yang's spiritual energy reached its limit, and he actually mastered all thirty-six basic sword techniques.

Lu Yang unleashed another thunderous strike from the ground, boom!

The Azure Azure Sword, wielding the force of lightning, pierced through Lu Changfeng's defenses and aimed directly at his face.

After they stopped, Lu Yang was panting heavily; he was exhausted.

However, he was overjoyed. He had mastered all thirty-six basic sword techniques and had already achieved one-tenth of the sword shadow of Thunderclap on Flat Ground. Its power was so great that it was even enough for Lu Yang to use as his trump card to reverse the late stage of Qi Refining.

Lu Yang, who had only mastered the Golden Light Escape technique, could only escape from late-stage Qi Refining opponents. Now, with the Thunderclap Sword Shadow technique, Lu Yang has truly gained the strength to defeat late-stage Qi Refining opponents.

Unfortunately, his spiritual energy couldn't keep up, otherwise he might have gained even more. You know, the fortune within the Fate-Breaking Pearl hasn't been used up yet; this time it's only been used for eight years.

Lu Yang still felt it wasn't enough, but Lu Changfeng was stunned.
