Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 369: Chapter 208: Yellow Level Top-grade Sword Technique, Gale Nine Swords!_2

”Yellow Level Top-grade?”

Gu Sheng was also stunned. Although he had long heard from Ge Qing that Martial Arts, like Spirit Pills and Treasures, were classified into different levels, he had never seen one himself.

He originally thought Wen Mingyan would at most give him a few high-tier Martial Arts techniques. Unexpectedly, right off the bat, he was offered a Yellow Level Top-grade manual!

”Master, isn’t it a bit of a waste for me to use such a high-level Martial Arts technique considering my current cultivation? Can I even train with it at my level? Will the other elders approve?”

In the Red Cloud Prefecture, anything of high grade was exceedingly valuable. Particularly Martial Arts techniques, which, unlike Spirit Pills and Treasures, could be practiced repeatedly by multiple people. Normally, Martial Arts techniques of the same level were three to five times more expensive than Treasures or Spirit Pills.

A Yellow Level Top-grade Martial Arts technique was already considered the pinnacle in the Red Cloud Prefecture. Typically, only official elders were qualified to practice it. Even core disciples weren’t allowed access.

Gu Sheng never would have imagined he’d be granted the opportunity to train with one!

Wen Mingyan raised an eyebrow, ”Waste? You’re my disciple! As for the other elders, I’ll handle them—no need for you to worry about it!”

Hearing this, Gu Sheng’s heart warmed. ”Thank you, Master!”

Wen Mingyan waved dismissively. ”What’s with the thanks? I’m your master! It’s only natural for me to treat you well. If you really want to show gratitude, then work hard to improve your strength and fiercely thrash the disciples of those other factions in the Red Cloud Secret Realm. Let the might of my Holy Pill Sect shine! And if you’re truly grateful, bring back some Spirit Stones for me while you’re at it. Heh, I’ve been feeling like I’m close to a breakthrough lately, but I can’t do it without Spirit Stones.”

Gu Sheng quietly noted this in his heart and, after finishing his meal, returned to his room to begin studying the Gale Nine Swords manual.

The Gale Nine Swords truly lived up to being a Yellow Level Top-grade Martial Arts technique. Its level of difficulty was extraordinary. After studying for four or five hours, Gu Sheng made no progress and instead felt his head spinning, as if he were pulling an all-nighter solving difficult math and physics problems from his previous life in high school.

”This is truly unbearable!”

”Forget it! I’ll ask Master to demonstrate it tomorrow and see if that sparks some inspiration. Trying to figure this out on my own is just too hard!”

Shaking his head, Gu Sheng covered his face with the manual and drifted off to a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, Gu Sheng woke up habitually and, noticing that Wen Mingyan wasn’t up yet, quietly made his way to the Sword Qi Wind Cave to cultivate.

After comprehending the concept of Sword Momentum, Gu Sheng’s perception of the Sword Qi Wind had deepened. Now, his training method had shifted from simply enduring its power with his body to using Sword Momentum to clash against the Sword Qi Wind.

Each time Gu Sheng swung his sword, the Sword Qi imbued with his Sword Momentum would collide with the Sword Qi Wind.

Gu Sheng’s control over Sword Momentum was clumsy—he always exerted his full strength. At first, the Sword Qi Wind couldn’t withstand it, but as the clashes occurred more frequently, the power of the Sword Qi Wind became increasingly terrifying. Gu Sheng was beaten back continuously, his Sword Momentum shattering and reforming, reforming and shattering repeatedly.

In this repetitive process, Gu Sheng could distinctly feel that although his Sword Momentum hadn’t grown in sheer force, its power and resilience had been increasing. This was a clear sign that his Sword Momentum was gradually transforming into Sword Qi.

After unleashing a full-powered slash, Gu Sheng swiftly exited the Sword Qi Wind Cave. As soon as he escaped, a ferocious whirl of Sword Qi Wind swept towards him, crashing into the protective barrier with a dull roar, causing the entire mountain to shake slightly.

”Phew! What on earth did Master use to construct this Sword Qi Wind Cave? How can it be this powerful? This was only at five hundred layers, and the power was already this overwhelming. If it stacks even further, wouldn’t it reach an intensity comparable to attacks from the Marrow Refining Realm?”
