Chapter 3: Peak of the Meridian Forging Realm! (Seeking flowers!)

Although the system's voice was soft, to Meng Zhangqing, it was no less than a stormy sea.

It could actually increase the proficiency of martial arts?!

This was a bit too overbearing.

Martial arts are very difficult to practice.

Especially those that are graded.

They require aptitude, comprehension, resources, and many other factors.

Many people might spend decades without reaching great success!

"This extra reward is not at all inferior to obtaining attributes."

Meng Zhangqing was somewhat excited.

However, extra rewards are not so easily obtained.

They only appear by chance when favorability is increased.

It seems his luck today was good!

"One skill card can increase one level; my 'Nine Shadows Sword Art' has reached the minor success stage, so using two cards should be just enough to reach perfection!"

Meng Zhangqing thought to himself.

The 'Nine Shadows Sword Art' was a martial art of the same grade as the 'Copper Armor Technique'.

It was just a sword technique.

It focused on technique.

When practiced to perfection, the sword moves are extremely fast, capable of splitting into nine sword shadows, each with power no less than the original sword!

The lethality is immense!

"The remaining one can also raise the 'Copper Armor Technique' to the perfection realm!"

"Perfect!"

Meng Zhangqing immediately had a plan in his heart.

"System, raise the 'Nine Shadows Sword Art' to the peak level!"

Meng Zhangqing said directly.

Martial arts grades are divided into: Unranked, Human-level, Profound-level, Earth-level, and Heaven-level.

Between each level, there are low, medium, and high grades.

And the so-called martial arts proficiency is actually the level of mastery.

Initial Glimpse, Entry, Minor Success, Great Success, and Perfection.

"Ding!"

"Consumed two proficiency cards!"

The words fell.

Countless insights appeared in Meng Zhangqing's mind.

He was crazily absorbing them!

These were the most correct techniques for using the Nine Shadows Sword Art!

Soon, Meng Zhangqing's mastery of the Nine Shadows Sword Art had reached the peak level!

"Nine Shadows!"

Meng Zhangqing stood up.

Blood and qi surged within his body.

He drew his sword and thrust it forward.

In an instant.

The sword light was like snow, actually splitting into nine sword shadows!

The aura of sharpness filled the entire room! ===== CHAPTER 8 =====

Clang, clang, clang!

On the hard wall, ten sword marks appeared at once!

Light even shone through from the sword marks.

It was clearly pierced through.

One must know that even outer sect buildings are built with relatively sturdy materials.

They cannot be easily destroyed!

It can be seen that the power of this sword was already quite strong.

"Not bad!"

A smile appeared on Meng Zhangqing's face.

Compared to before, the power of the Nine Shadows Sword Art had undergone a qualitative leap.

With this sword art, he could probably easily kill a ninth-level Meridian Forging Realm expert!

Of course, that is provided the other party's martial arts proficiency hasn't reached the perfection stage!

"System, raise the 'Copper Armor Technique' to the fifth level!"

Meng Zhangqing sheathed his sword.

He used the last proficiency card.

Crack, crack, crack!

The familiar feeling appeared, but this time it was even more ferocious!

His body was vibrating crazily!

His muscles were becoming dense, as if steel bars were twisted together, and his whole person exuded a very heavy aura.

Like a mountain!

Imposing and indestructible!

Clang, clang, clang!

Meng Zhangqing flicked his completely bronze arm, and it actually made a sound like copper and iron.

"Worthy of the perfection-level 'Copper Armor Technique', this defense has become even more terrifying."

Meng Zhangqing was very satisfied.

At the same time, he withdrew the Copper Armor Technique, and his skin color returned to normal.

No one would have thought that under this seemingly thin and slender body, there was such a terrifying body-refining attainment!

"Huh?"

Meng Zhangqing suddenly raised an eyebrow.

Because he discovered that his realm barrier was actually somewhat loose!

This was the rhythm of a breakthrough!

But it was normal to think about it.

He was already on the verge of a breakthrough, and now that he had obtained the fourth-grade bone structure, he could naturally break through!

"Truly surprises wave after wave."

Meng Zhangqing was in a pleasant mood.

He hurriedly sat cross-legged and began the breakthrough!

——

The next day.

The bell belonging exclusively to the Profound Heaven Sect rang throughout the universe, sweeping across the wilderness.

In the golden glow.

Meng Zhangqing pushed open the door and walked out.

At this moment, his aura was powerful, full, and rounded.

Clearly, he had broken through to the ninth level of the Meridian Forging Realm!

He had opened all the major meridian secrets!

Humans practice martial arts by cultivating and opening many human body secrets.

And the major meridian secret is the first secret!

The major meridians contain majestic blood and qi; every time one is opened, the body's various functions are greatly improved.

Whether it is strength, speed, or defense, etc.

Martial arts cultivation has a total of nine realms.

They are the Meridian Forging Realm, Aperture Opening Realm, Sea Opening Realm, Creation Realm, God-Connecting Realm, Life and Death Realm, Marquis Realm, King Realm, and the Supreme Realm!

"Next, it's the breakthrough to the Aperture Opening Realm!"

Meng Zhangqing breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked up slightly.

Looking toward the direction of the inner sect.

To become an inner disciple, one must have the strength of the Aperture Opening Realm and pass through the Puppet Gorge.

This is not a simple matter.

But Meng Zhangqing must get in.

Not to mention the various benefits that come with being an inner disciple.

He wanted to fully utilize the system's functions.

He had to go to the inner sect.

That is where the sect's geniuses gather!

As long as he goes to the inner sect, he believes he will be like a fish in the sea!

Knock, knock, knock!

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, interrupting Meng Zhangqing's thoughts.

He frowned slightly and walked over to open the door.

He saw a disciple standing outside with a slightly cautious expression.

"Senior Brother Meng, I am a disciple of the Mission Hall; if you don't go to complete the mission, you will exceed the three-month deadline."

The disciple said respectfully.

"Almost forgot."

Meng Zhangqing realized.

As a sect disciple, while enjoying the sect's benefits, one must also fulfill certain obligations.

That is the sect mission.

One must be completed every three months.

Otherwise, at best, future cultivation resources will be stopped, and at worst, one will be expelled from the sect!

This can also be considered a form of training in a sense.

Xia Han from yesterday was injured while performing a sect mission.

"Well, thanks for the reminder."

Meng Zhangqing nodded.

Even among outer disciples, there are class divisions.

Disciples above the seventh level of the Meridian Forging Realm, because they have the opportunity to enter the inner sect, can enjoy more benefits.

For example, right now, many messages will be specifically reminded by someone so as not to forget.

At the same time, Meng Zhangqing also used the Eye of Investigation to check the situation of this disciple.

Unfortunately.

There were no good attributes.

But this is also normal.

The real geniuses have already entered the inner sect!

"Must hurry to enter the inner sect!"

Taking a deep breath, Meng Zhangqing closed the door and walked toward the Mission Hall. ===== CHAPTER 9 =====
