Chapter 15

"In that case, I will be troubling Senior Brother Qin in the future."

Meng Zhangqing said with a smile.

"Please, by all means, trouble me as much as you like."

Qin Fang said solemnly.

"Ding!"

"Added Qin Fang as a friend."

"Current Favorability: One Star"

"Obtained Attribute: 'Wind-Thunder Sword Art' (Great Success)"

"Triggered extra reward: Mysterious-grade Martial Technique Proficiency Card *3!"

The system's voice rang out in his mind.

It was indescribably wonderful.

It made the smile on Meng Zhangqing's face become even more radiant.

His luck was truly exploding.

Not only did he get the attribute he wanted, but he also triggered an extra reward.

Mysterious-grade Martial Technique Proficiency Card.

It was clearly the same thing as the previous Human-grade Martial Technique Proficiency Card.

It could be used to increase martial technique proficiency!

"Alright, I have matters to attend to, so I will be leaving first,"

Sun Haishan looked at Meng Zhangqing and said, "I hope that before long, I will hear the news of your promotion to a direct-line disciple."

"I will certainly strive for it."

Meng Zhangqing said with a smile.

Qin Fang glanced sideways slightly.

It seems Elder Sun has a lot of confidence in Meng Zhangqing.

But that is also normal.

A disciple who can realize sword intent naturally has a future that cannot be underestimated.

It's just that I don't know about his aptitude.

After all, in the early stages of cultivation, comprehension only applies to practicing martial techniques.

To improve one's cultivation realm, one still has to look at root bone aptitude.

After Sun Haishan left.

Meng Zhangqing chatted with Qin Fang for a while, mainly about the situation of some inner sect disciples.

Afterward, he returned to his own courtyard.

――

Closing the door.

Meng Zhangqing sat cross-legged on the bed.

He opened the panel.

Basic Information:

【Host: Meng Zhangqing】

【Race: Human】

【Cultivation Base: Opening-Aperture Realm, 1st Layer】

Attribute Information:

【Root Bone: 2nd Grade】

【Comprehension: Average】

【Martial Techniques:】

【Friends: Xia Han, Bai Suxi, Qin Fang】

【Unmerged Attribute: 'Wind-Thunder Sword Art' (Great Success)】

【Unused Rewards: Mysterious-grade Martial Technique Proficiency Card *3】

"Merge."

Without the slightest hesitation.

Meng Zhangqing said directly.

Hum~

In an instant, it seemed as if countless light and shadow fragments appeared in his mind.

Those were all insights regarding the 'Wind-Thunder Sword Art'.

Meng Zhangqing began to absorb them frantically, and his understanding of the 'Wind-Thunder Sword Art' was also climbing rapidly.

Soon, it reached the Great Success realm.

Swish!

Meng Zhangqing drew his sword from its sheath.

Inside the room, the sound of wind and thunder rolled and boomed, the momentum was astonishing.

"'Wind-Thunder Sword Art' has the speed of a gale and the lethality of thunder; not bad, not bad."

Meng Zhangqing sheathed his sword, a look of satisfaction on his face.

It was worthy of being a Mysterious-grade martial technique.

It was far, far stronger than the 'Nine Shadows Sword Art'.

And this was only Mysterious-grade low-tier; if it were mid-tier, high-tier, or even Earth-grade!

How terrifying would that be?

Shaking his head slightly, Meng Zhangqing did not dwell on it.

"System, use one Mysterious-grade Martial Technique Proficiency Card."

He was prepared to elevate the 'Wind-Thunder Sword Art' to the Perfection realm!

A Perfection-level 'Wind-Thunder Sword Art'.

Its power would be even more terrifying!

Thunder racing on the sword body, electric snakes slithering on the ground.

"Ding!"

"Consumed one Mysterious-grade Martial Technique Proficiency Card!"

Boom!

Even more profound insights appeared in his mind.

Meng Zhangqing absorbed them quickly.

"It's perfected."

Opening his eyes, a smile flashed across Meng Zhangqing's face.

He hadn't even opened the sword technique manual Elder Sun gave him to look at yet.

But he had already mastered the 'Wind-Thunder Sword Art' to perfection.

It only took a few breaths of time.

If he told anyone, they probably wouldn't believe it.

"The system is powerful."

Meng Zhangqing gave a thumbs up.

With a Perfection-level Mysterious-grade sword technique at his side, his current strength could be considered to have greatly increased.

Adding sword intent to it.

There would be no problem at all in facing an ordinary martial artist at the 6th layer of the Opening-Aperture Realm.

"Next, it's time to improve my cultivation base!"

Meng Zhangqing's eyes flickered.

In this world where martial arts are respected, strength is the most important thing.

If one wants to make friends, one must be strong enough oneself.

As long as one is strong enough.

One doesn't even need to take the initiative to make friends.

Others will flock to you on their own.

For example, the Qin Fang from just now.

Taking a slight breath, Meng Zhangqing took a jade box out of his sleeve.

It was exactly what Bai Suxi had given him.

After opening it.

A rich medicinal fragrance permeated the air.

Origin Spirit Grass!

Relying on this item, Meng Zhangqing was confident that he could cultivate to the 3rd layer of the Opening-Aperture Realm in a short period of time!

Time flies like a shuttle.

One month later.

――

Creak~

The door was pushed open.

A figure in white walked out.

It was Meng Zhangqing.

However, at this moment, his aura had increased significantly!

It was quite oppressive!

"Opening-Aperture Realm, 4th layer!"

To be honest, this realm somewhat exceeded his expectations.

He had thought that the limit would be the 3rd layer, which would be about right.

He didn't expect to reach the 4th layer directly.

But thinking about it, it was normal.

After all, he was already a 2nd-grade root bone!

It could not be spoken of in the same breath.

Plus, he had the assistance of precious resources like the Origin Spirit Grass.

As his gaze swept over.

He happened to see the giant rock in the courtyard.

This was specifically for disciples to practice on, and its texture was quite hard.

On a whim.

Meng Zhangqing also wanted to see his specific increase in strength.

Swish!

He drew his sword from its sheath.

The Perfection-level 'Wind-Thunder Sword Art' was immediately unleashed.
