Chapter 266 - 254: Ten Years of Martial Tao, Martial Technique Perfection, Dragon Power at Hand!
After teaching Su Qingqing a lesson, Song Changming took out a piece of obtained Mist gold and began his daily cultivation.
The state of "Heaven Rewards Diligence" that he gained early last night must not be wasted.
He was indifferent to the various rumors and opinions about him from the outside world.
He only asked Song Ping’an and Liang Zhao Long to keep an eye on the movements of the Corpse Refining Sect for him.
Including the Zhuji Pavilion, where they would also bring him intelligence on the dynamics of the Corpse Refining Sect, which was a major advantage of leveraging Li Jinyu as a connection.
He could mobilize the Zhuji Pavilion to assist and provide services for him.
Of course, this service required him to pay for it.
Therefore, he didn’t need to worry much about the situation with the Corpse Refining Sect; he could focus on what needed to be done currently.
Feeling the inside of his body.
Seven Qi vortexes were spinning calmly and steadily, existing independently yet interconnected.
Besides, when he undertook Inner Qi cultivation, there were many extra Inner Qi currents inside him, sometimes converging, sometimes dispersing.
Song Changming faintly felt that the time was near.
The day of his next breakthrough in cultivation was approaching!
"As short as a few days, as long as more than a month, it should be achievable!" Song Changming sensed the subtle changes in the Inner Qi within him.
With many years in Qi Refining, he had a fair estimate of the time required for a breakthrough in cultivation.
Currently, it was a critical juncture.
As long as he succeeded in the breakthrough, his Qi Refining cultivation would officially reach the eighth level!
It’s equivalent to him using ten years to erase the Inner Qi gap with Su Yaoguang and Nan Wuji back in the days!
Inner Qi cultivation becomes increasingly difficult as one progresses; thus, achieving this feat in just ten years was already quite fast.
He was also satisfied with his progress in Inner Qi cultivation.
Furthermore, over ten years, the martial techniques he practiced had all reached Perfection.
[Ninth Grade Wind Dragon Divine Saber Technique: Perfection (48000/48000)]
[Level Eight Flying Thunder Technique: Perfection (72000/72000)]
[Seventh Grade Fire God Saber Technique: Perfection (96000/96000)]
Specifically, the Wind Dragon Divine Saber Technique reached Perfection early on in the first two years.
There was no need for deliberate practice; with advanced Sword Tao attainment, coupled with cultivation state enhancements, the progress of this Ninth Grade Saber Technique was fast and naturally reached Perfection.
The Seventh Grade Fire God Saber Technique was similar for the same reason. Since he practiced the True Yang Technique, the Fire God Saber Technique was derived from it, sharing the same origin, thus the experience value for this one increased faster than the Wind Dragon Divine Saber Technique.
Even when he was diligently practicing the True Yang Technique, he was gaining experience for the Fire God Saber Technique, hence it reached Perfection early as well.
However, the progress of the Flying Thunder Technique wasn’t as swift, achieving Perfection only in Song Changming’s sixth year.
It’s often said in the Martial Realm that each martial technique is a martial path.
A martial technique reaching Perfection means reaching the end of that martial path.
At that point, it becomes the Peak of Perfection; one can start a school, become a master, and pass down one’s Martial Tao! Successfully achieving fame and accomplishment!
Many strong individuals in Jianghu, Qi Refining Martial Artists, dedicate themselves to one martial path, making the lifetime goal to train a martial technique to Perfection.
However, reaching Perfection in martial techniques requires tremendous willpower and perseverance, alongside notable Martial Tao aptitude; without any, it is unattainable.
This achievement is extraordinarily difficult, and not everyone can do it.
Many martial artists and strong individuals spend decades arduously practicing; achieving a Perfection in a martial technique in one’s later years is already excellent, worthy of being respected as a master!
Like Song Changming, who achieved Perfection in multiple martial techniques, is rare in the entire Da Han Martial Realm.
Besides, his True Yang Technique has already reached Great Perfection in the last ten years!
It’s just one step away from the final Perfection Realm.
Nevertheless, the high experience points required for the final Perfection Realm were truly daunting.
Fortunately, his qualification values have improved yearly, allowing him to gradually accelerate his martial technique training progress, saving him from wondering how many years it would take to completely perfect this Third Grade Martial Technique due to an indefinite experience gauge.
Currently, his Spirit Attribute had increased by ten points over ten years through annual rewards, reaching sixty points.
His Root Attribute had increased by eight points over ten years, reaching sixty-two points.
In ordinary years, where evaluation points were not high, and the rewards were average, choosing to add points to qualification values was the best choice, considered as an investment for the future.
Increasing the Spirit Attribute aimed to improve comprehension, accelerate Martial Arts practice, and enhance talents related to spiritual power.
While augmenting the Root Attribute aimed to increase the Potential of Body Refinement.
Song Changming required both, hence he maintained a balanced approach to steadily improve.
Meanwhile, during the fifth year of Da Lai, when the Outer Realm Evil Cult members joined forces with Da Han remnants to make a comeback, Song Changming also took action to defend Wangyue County City and consecutively slew powerful enemies from the Outer Domain!
Because of this battle achievement, his ranking on the Celestial List soared, directly reaching the eleventh position.
In the same year, he once again received an opportunity to upgrade his physique.
He continued to choose to augment the Potential for Body Refinement by upgrading the Green Level ’Light as Wind’ to the Blue Level!
Wind Chasing Lightning (Blue): Born with extraordinary speed, possessing a high-speed growth trait, developed to its extreme, capable of pursuing winds and chasing electricity, shooting stars catching up to the moon!
Precisely due to this choice, over ten years, he never encountered a bottleneck in Body Refinement progress.
Currently, his physical body is so strong that it doesn’t require wearing armor and is tougher than Hundred Forged Refined Iron, with ordinary Sword Qi and Sword Techniques unable to even scratch his defense or injure him at all!
His speed is as fast as Phantom Light and Shadow, Wind Chasing Lightning; among martial artists of the same realm, few can match his speed.
Furthermore, his strength had long surpassed the power of Ten Elephants!
