Chapter 19 Sword Technique Transformation
In the arena, Shen Yi smiled faintly, her gaze sharp as she scanned the crowd.
The three people Master mentioned—Wu Yue, Ye Lan, and Chen Feng—have a solid foundation and good responsiveness; they are indeed promising talents.
The others... were a bit lacking.
But why is Zhang Xiao here with Master too?
The Zhang family is quite willing to part with it.
In a flash, he dodged more than ten attacks in succession.
And at that very moment.
Jiang Qi seized a subtle opening, suddenly exerted force with his feet, and shot out like an arrow.
Wind-Breaking Blade, Wind-Splitting Blade Intent!
His speed suddenly increased.
"Hmm?" Shen Yi glanced sideways, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes.
Interesting. He managed to incorporate swordsmanship into a surprise attack; he's quite adaptable.
In the blink of an eye, he slightly shifted his body and dodged Jiang Qi's lightning-fast grab.
Did they miss their target?
Jiang Qi was stunned.
In the blink of an eye.
No, that side was...
The final move of "Breaking Wind Blade", the move that stops the wind and calms the waves?
Swordsmanship... movement techniques...
A playful glint flashed in Shen Yi's eyes as she glanced at Jiang Qi, who seemed lost in thought.
Kid, if you want the medicine, let me see just how flexible you really are.
As a martial arts master at the second level, let alone within three steps, even within one step, if he didn't want to, these junior brothers at the early stage of the Blood Burning Realm would never be able to encounter him.
He made this request simply to see if there were any promising talents among his fellow disciples.
The struggle continues.
But half an incense stick later, no one had touched the Demon Suppression Bureau's patrol officer.
"The wind returns... the wind stops... the wind breaks..."
In a sudden moment, Jiang Qi's eyes lit up!
"The body itself is without wind, but movement creates wind...it is borrowing the wind!"
As if he had suddenly realized something, he accelerated and attacked Shen Yi again.
good boy!
Shen Yi sensed it instantly.
To grasp something so quickly shows remarkable insight; such comprehension is truly rare.
He's a promising talent.
almost.
His figure flashed.
Swish!Swish!Swish!
Three soft sounds of clothes fluttering rang out almost simultaneously.
Immediately afterwards, a gentle force rippled outwards from Shen Yi!
All those who were attacking were forced to retreat several steps involuntarily.
"What's wrong?" No one reacted.
Coach Zhou laughed heartily: "The results are in."
Already released?
"We didn't encounter it." Everyone was puzzled.
"Just because you didn't encounter it doesn't mean others didn't." Instructor Zhou stepped forward, scanning the crowd. "Those who obtained the Blood Nourishing Pill are Wu Yue and Ye Lan..."
"Jiang Qi".
who?!
Jiang Qi?
Not Senior Brother Chen Feng?
The room fell silent for a moment, then erupted in uproar!
Incredulous gazes turned to the three of them, especially Jiang Qi!
Wu Yue and Ye Lan's third stage of Qi and Blood was nearing completion. Although everyone envied them, they felt it was only right that they received the reward.
But Jiang Qi... how can he borrow money to buy medicine, a mere wisp of Qi and Blood?!
Feng Heng's face turned ugly, and he gritted his teeth inwardly.
Chen Feng stood there, his face solemn, a shadow of gloom in his eyes.
As one of the top three Qi and Blood cultivators recognized by the outer academy, Wu Yue and Ye Lan both encountered him, but he was the only one who was pushed down by a newcomer.
Furthermore, Wu Yue and Ye Lan, who have always been on par with him, will break through to the next level before him.
Shame and anger surged in my chest!
However, with so many people in front of him, especially in front of Instructor Zhou and the city patrol officer, he had to restrain himself no matter how unwilling he was.
......
Jiang Qi, Wu Yue, and Ye Lan walked up to Shen Yi.
Shen Yi poured out three blood-red pills from the jade bottle and handed them to the three people respectively.
"Thank you, Senior Brother!" the three bowed.
Shen Yi nodded, but her gaze fell on Jiang Qi. She smiled and said, "I observe that your aura is deep and your foundation is solid. Your second strand of blood energy... should be more than halfway refined, right?"
Jiang Qi was startled!
During the struggle just now, he didn't even activate his Qi and blood, yet his opponent could still tell how much Qi and blood he had?
The second realm, the Bone Strengthening Realm, is truly formidable.
Fortunately, the [Blood Collection] technique was used to refine and conceal the Qi and Blood; otherwise, wouldn't it have been obvious that the three Qi and Blood were at their peak?
There are always people more capable than you, and mountains beyond mountains!
We must be more careful in our actions from now on!
Jiang Qi remained expressionless and respectfully replied, "Senior Brother, you are wise."
Upon hearing this, the crowd stirred once again.
"Is the second stage of Qi and Blood more than halfway complete?"
"Only four months? Junior Brother Jiang's cultivation speed is incredibly fast!"
"Borrowing money to buy medicine... can it really produce this kind of rapid drug absorption?"
"With the Blood Nourishing Pill in hand, it won't be long before Junior Brother Jiang refines his third strand of Qi and Blood."
Some were shocked, some were moved, and there were also many who criticized.
Feng Heng sneered inwardly: 'This is just a desperate measure! Borrowing so much money, let's see how you're going to pay it back!'
Instructor Zhou walked over and looked Jiang Qi up and down with some surprise: "In just a few months, you've already reached the halfway point of your second stage of Qi and Blood. Not bad, second only to Zhang Xiao."
"Jiang Qi and Zhang Xiao, although they joined the group later than others, have made rapid progress."
You should reflect on yourselves: is it because you haven't been diligent enough in your practice, or because you haven't invested enough resources?
The path to martial arts requires talent, diligence, and resources—all are indispensable!
The admonition caused many disciples to look ashamed.
"Alright, that's enough for today. Everyone, go your separate ways and cultivate diligently."
The group dispersed, each with their own thoughts.
Feng Heng glanced at Jiang Qi from afar, then quickly followed Chen Feng.
Zhang Xiao excitedly ran to Jiang Qi's side: "Junior Brother Jiang, tell me quickly, how did you manage to touch Senior Brother Shen's clothes? I didn't even touch the edge!"
......
On the other side, Instructor Zhou, Zhou Jin, and Shen Yi entered the inner courtyard.
Zhou Jin poured tea for the two of them and said with a smile, "Senior brother, what are you thinking? Shouldn't the Blood Nourishing Pill be given to Chen Feng?"
Shen Yi slowly blew on the tea foam: "Junior sister is asking a question she already knows the answer to. On the path of martial arts, the width of one's path is determined by one's qi and blood, but comprehension and adaptability are what determine how far one can go on this path."
Zhou Jin just smiled faintly and didn't reply.
Of all the disciples, Jiang Qi was the one she truly thought was good.
Instructor Zhou put down his teacup, looked at Shen Yi, and said, "Jiang Qi is somewhat beyond my expectations. He comes from an ordinary background, yet he dared to borrow money to practice martial arts, which shows extraordinary courage. He is also extremely diligent in his martial arts practice, and coupled with his comprehension... he is indeed a promising talent."
He paused, then changed the subject: "However, I'm afraid you didn't come back just to see me, did you?"
Shen Yi's smile faded, and her expression turned serious.
"As expected, you can't hide it from your master."
"There's been some trouble within the Demon Suppression Division. A few days ago, several old monsters escaped from the Demon Suppression Prison."
"What?!"
......
Jiang Qi arrived at the training ground.
"Junior Brother Jiang!" Zhang Xiao stared intently at the Blood Nourishing Pill in Jiang Qi's hand. "This powerful medicine... are you selling it? Ten taels! No, twenty taels! Thirty taels is fine too!"
Jiang Qi's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he looked at Zhang Xiao with a hint of teasing: "Senior Brother Zhang, aren't you always complaining about being poor? How come you have so much money?"
Zhang Xiao scratched his head and chuckled, "Junior Brother Jiang, name your price. As long as I can afford it, I won't hesitate!"
Jiang Qi knew this man was faking his poverty, so he didn't say anything more. He shook his head and asked seriously, "Senior Brother Zhang, if you obtain this medicine, will you sell it to someone else, or keep it for yourself?"
Zhang Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter, patting Jiang Qi on the shoulder: "You're right, I was presumptuous! Such a powerful tonic is best used by oneself. Congratulations, Junior Brother Jiang!"
Although he envied and desired it, he was also open-minded.
Just then, Chen Feng and Feng Heng walked over side by side.
