Chapter 15: Spirit Technique Quartet, Strengthening Plan!

  Everyone was confused by Zhuo Yifan's sentence five days later.

  Does he mean that within five days, he can possess the power to defeat the Three Xuan Fu Realm? Within five days, from refining his body to reaching the Three Xuan Fu Realm, even if it's an extraordinary master who doesn't sleep or rest and pours all their energy into cultivation, it's still impossible to have such a breakthrough.

  As soon as this was said, not only were the others surprised, but Zhuo Xun Tian was also shocked. He saw Zhuo Yi Fan's confident appearance and his eyes lit up: "Yi Fan, you're confident?"

  "Of course!" Zhuo Yifan nodded very affirmatively, his face still wearing a confident and evil smile.

  "Haha!" Zhuo Guanying burst out laughing, his eyes gleaming with a fierce light as he gazed at the past. "If my little brother Yifan is so arrogant, how can I, as his older brother, not respond?" In his heart, he was cold and calculating, just a perfectly cultivated person, what kind of storm could he stir up? And dare to clamor with me, a genius?

  I'm going to destroy you!

  A gloomy thought revolved in his mind, and Zhuo Guanying revealed a cold sneer. He was very confident in his own realm and strength. From the innate spiritual realm onwards, every step was a world apart.

  Although he didn't know what tricks Zhuo Yifan had used to injure Zhuo Wen, he was confident that this little ant Zhuo Yifan would never be a threat in front of him.

  At this point, the two of them made a vow to engage in a five-day duel under the gaze of everyone present. Afterwards, Zhuo Guanying followed the wager and sent two spiritual techniques to Zhuo Yifan before turning around and leaving with Zhuo Wenqian far away.

  Zhuo Wen's injuries were purely self-inflicted. Even with the best medicine and care, it would likely take at least a month or two to recover.

  This battle made Zhuo Yifan a big shot, and he suddenly became the focus of the Zhu family. The previous ridicule and sarcasm, cold eyes and disdain were replaced by thick respect and respectful titles.

  This made Zhuo Yifan secretly sigh at the difference between before and after.

  ……

  In the evening, only Grandfather and grandson were left in the hall, having just had a delicious meal cooked by Mother. The two of them were savoring the fragrant tea. They thoroughly enjoyed themselves. In the evening, Grandfather also drank up a jar of fine wine that had been stored for many years.

  It's been ages since I've had so much fun.

  The Zhu family's economic project was regained, and his own grandson became capable. For the old master Zhu Xun Tian, there was nothing more exciting than these two things.

  Zhuo Tian stared at his mysterious grandson, still looking at Zhuo Yifan with an incredulous gaze: "Yifan, tell Grandpa, are you really capable of dealing with me and Zhuo Guanying? And... how did you suddenly become so powerful?"

  "Grandpa, just rest assured, I have a must-win grasp!" Zuo Yifan replied confidently, but when it came to Zuo Wentai's second question, he began to hesitate and was speechless.

  "Never mind."

  Seeing Zhuo Yifan's entangled expression, Zhuo Tian immediately knew that Zhuo Yifan was probably having some inexplicable encounter and didn't plan to pry, but patted his thick shoulder, paused for a moment, and then smiled with relief:

  "Everyone has secrets, you don't want to say, and Grandpa won't force you. Just pretend Grandpa didn't ask. Wait until you want to tell Grandpa, then it's fine. I, Zhuo Tian, have lived for half a lifetime, having such a grandson, what more can I ask for? Fan'er... remember, no matter what happens, Grandpa will always be your strong backing!"

  Zhuo Yi Fan nodded heavily, "Grandfather can rest assured, I will definitely not disappoint you."

  Zhuo Yifan's current goal is to achieve the Innate Spiritual Realm, improve his soul quality, work hard to become stronger, solidify the Zhuo family, and head to the Blood Prison!

  "Grandfather, I plan to go to the Qingyang Mountains to cultivate for a while. The Blood Prison is full of powerful spiritual beasts, and I need to adapt as soon as possible." said Zhuo Yifan firmly.

  "Alright." Zhuo asked Tian nodded, looking at his good grandson in front of him, and smiled with narrowed eyes: "The Qingyang Mountains are indeed a great place for cultivation, where you can hone yourself well. However, be careful. I'll exchange the entrance token with spirit stones later. Don't forget about the gamble five days from now. Zhuo Guanying is not easy to deal with, even if it's me, I would lose. At the Three Mysteries Realm level, an ordinary punch has the power of ten elephants, and when combined with spiritual techniques, the explosive force is even more terrifying. Grandpa really looks forward to seeing how strong you'll become five days from now!"

  Zhuo Yifan nodded solemnly and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Grandpa. I will definitely win!"

  At midnight, Zhuo Yifan began to study and comprehend the two spiritual techniques given by Zhuo Guanying.

  Zhuo Yifan picked up a copy of the ancient book "Wanxiang Zhi", staring intently at the diagrams and introductions, studying it with all his heart.

  "The Wanxiang Finger" combines the essence of heaven and earth, although it cannot lift a thousand catties, its subtle changes shapelessly transform into substance, yet it is both strong and soft.

  Apart from the lethal finishing moves brought by agility, the effects of acupuncture points to relieve pain and bleeding, as well as unblocking meridians and blood vessels, also made Zhuo Yifan's eyes light up.

  This is absolutely useful in a desperate situation.

  This book "Wanxiangzhi" has twelve kinds of finger methods, with every three kinds of finger methods forming one layer. It is divided into four layers.

  First layer: foundation

  Second layer: Enter subtlety

  Third layer: Breath stabilization

  Fourth layer: Merging Spirits

  Regardless of whether it is the Wanxiang Finger or other sword techniques, knife techniques, fist techniques, or footwork, they are all divided into these four realms. This level of division is also called Lingji Four Realms. The higher the level of Lingji, the more difficult it is to cultivate these four realms. Human-level and King-level Lingji can easily reach fusion with the spirit, but General-level and Emperor-level are far beyond reach.

  People often say that it takes ten years to sharpen a sword, but the fusion of high-level spiritual techniques into the Ling realm is not something that can be achieved even with a hundred years of hard work, let alone someone like Zhuo Yifan who possesses exceptional innate talent.

  What is fusion of spirits? This is a state where one truly merges with the soul, moving freely at will. This is the highest realm of spiritual technique application, and has an immense connection with the quality of the soul. Those genius figures who have achieved great things in spiritual techniques, are they not all exceptional sons of heaven with outstanding soul qualities?

  They can even merge their own souls into all the spiritual techniques they know, and even a set of the lowest-level human primary spiritual techniques can exert the strongest lethality.

  But Zhuo Yifan studied for a long time, but he didn't learn much, and the learning was far from easy. Just studying the acupoints alone took Zhuo Yifan a very long time.

  Zhuo Guanying gave Zhu Yifan his second spiritual technique ancient book - "Jiemi Jianfa".

  This is a royal high-level spiritual technique.

  The difficulty of this sword technique is much lower than "Wanxiangzhi". It can be said to be unexpectedly simple.

  In just two hours, Zhuo Yifan had already mastered the "Jiemi Sword Technique" with great proficiency. However, this set of high-level sword techniques seemed to be overshadowed by the "Wanxiang Finger".

  Its lethality is surprisingly low.

  With Zhao Yi Fan's judgment, this killing move, if not accompanied by one's own aura, can't even kill a cultivator who has achieved Small Perfection in Body Refining.

  Generally, spiritual techniques are amplified on the basis of a monk's basic strength. But this mediocre sword technique is just the opposite.

  Although the sword manual has an introduction, this "Jiemi Sword Technique" will adapt to the user's cultivation progress, making it more intuitive for the practitioner. However, upon closer inspection of each individual move, there doesn't seem to be any particular skill or technique involved.

  As expected, these two spiritual skills are quite useless. At first glance, they seem very attractive, but when learned, they are actually quite difficult!

  Ke Zuo understood in his heart that these two spiritual techniques were Zhuo Guanying's humiliation to himself, despising his own innate talent. He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and without resting, he reopened the two ancient books and studied them with great diligence.

  One night, he studied all night, holding a wooden sword and practicing the Jianmo Sword Technique repeatedly, and his power was also gradually increasing.

  Unconsciously, it has already reached dawn.

  Although I still feel a bit awkward about these two spiritual techniques, I will definitely make progress through actual combat.

  Wow!

  Zhuo Yifan stopped in his tracks, a pair of purple eyes suddenly opened, flowing with an eerie glow. "Zhuo Guanying, these past few years when my father wasn't around, you didn't hold back from suppressing me. Wait for it... I'll let you taste the same flavor..."
