Chapter 36: Blade Technique Fusion! Overlord Blade!

Three days later.

In the courtyard.

Lu Zhangsheng looked at the ten skills on his panel that were all perfected, feeling very satisfied in his heart.

Except for that 【Great Strength Bull Demon Fist】, the other blade techniques and footwork had all been pushed to the perfected level by him.

And it only used a small amount of Source Energy Points.

Ever since he broke through to Flesh-Refining, cultivating these low-level martial arts almost didn't consume much Source Energy.

This also fit the actual situation.

Otherwise, if it required a large amount of Source Energy Points to improve low-level techniques every time, it would be extremely unreasonable.

After all, his own realm was already higher.

Next, Lu Zhangsheng clicked on the plus sign behind 【Five Tigers Door-Breaking Blade】.

A moment later.

As a warm current came from within his body, his mind seemed to be stuffed with a large amount of blade technique knowledge, as if he had been practicing the blade day and night for decades.

【After twenty years of diligent practice of the Five Tigers Door-Breaking Blade, you have finally elevated it to the Transcendent Realm.】

Skill: 【Five Tigers Door-Breaking Blade】 (Transcendent Realm.) Note: A blade technique that surpasses the founder, you have already walked your own path, and its power cannot be underestimated.

"Fusion."

He clicked the green button again.

"Hum..."

Deep in his mind, it felt as if evening drums and morning bells were striking, making his soul feel incomparably shocked.

【Ten years of bitter practice of the Five Tigers Door-Breaking Blade, you finally reached a point where you could not advance further; you were unwilling, and kept searching for the intuition in the darkness...】

【Twenty years later, you still had no harvest, yet you still insisted on practicing the blade every day; the blade technique became a part of your life...】

【After fifty years of uninterrupted experience, you finally realized a new blade technique.】

"Do you wish to rename the new martial skill?"

The familiar prompt sounded again, pulling Lu Zhangsheng back to reality.

He slowly opened his eyes, and it seemed as if time was flowing within them.

That blade strike in the brilliant sky left a deep impression deep in his mind.

"Overlord Blade."

Lu Zhangsheng spat out the two words softly.

"New cultivation technique is being recorded..."

A moment later.

A new cultivation technique appeared on the blue panel.

Cultivation Technique: 【Overlord Blade】 (Entry Level)

Note: This blade technique was created by fusing several blade techniques; it possesses an overbearing and peerless attribute. When the practitioner fights with their back to the river, it can exert even stronger power.

Cultivation Technique Rating: Three Stars.

Looking at the brand-new martial skill before him, his face lit up with joy.

This kind of power was simply incomparable to the Five Tigers Door-Breaking Blade.

He couldn't wait to elevate it to a higher realm.

By then, his own strength would increase by another large margin, and it wouldn't be impossible to even go head-to-head with a Flesh-Refining perfection expert.

If his own realm were to improve in the future, even with a Flesh-Refining body, he could fight against Bone-Forging experts; this was the strength amplification brought by high-level cultivation techniques, which was extremely powerful.

"Source Energy Points, he needs massive amounts of Source Energy Points."

Lu Zhangsheng roared in his heart.

A moment later, he put away his thoughts and looked at the several footwork techniques on the panel, preparing to fuse them as well.

Footwork was equally important; if you can't beat them, you can run—keeping your life is better than anything else.

Naturally, he would not ignore footwork.

Comprehensive improvement was the martial Dao path he had long since set for himself.

He directly added points to Floating Light Shadow until it reached the Transcendent Realm.

"Fusion!"

Lu Zhangsheng roared in his heart.

"Hum..."

The intuition from the darkness descended again, beginning to simulate infinitely in his mind.

【Five years of diligent practice of footwork, your steps were already like a ghost, and it was hard to improve further.】

【You were not willing, and continued to practice for ten years as one day; your footwork became increasingly terrifying...】

【Ten years later, one day, you finally realized the highest realm of Floating Light Shadow and had new insights.】

……

"New skill discovered, do you wish to rename it?"

"Spiral Nine Transformations." Lu Zhangsheng spat out the words softly.

During the simulation, the nine figures deep in his mind shocked him greatly.

When this high-level footwork was practiced to perfection, it could actually split into nine phantom bodies, allowing one to quickly escape the battlefield—it was extremely practical.

This made him extremely expectant.

Cultivation Technique: 【Spiral Nine Transformations】 (Entry Level)

Note: This footwork fuses the strengths of various footwork techniques, discarding the dross and taking the essence. When practiced to a profound level, the body shape is like a ghost and hard to be locked onto; it is truly an excellent skill for escaping with one's life.

Cultivation Technique Rating: Three Stars.

Source Energy Points: 2.

Looking at the cultivation technique introduction, Lu Zhangsheng was very satisfied in his heart, his face full of smiles.

This fusion of cultivation techniques used a total of over thirty Source Energy Points, but the effect was extremely significant.

As long as he elevated these two high-level cultivation techniques and improved his realm, it would be enough to greatly increase his strength.

By then, even if the Sanhe Gang Hall Master struck personally, he wouldn't be able to keep him.

Even if he couldn't win, he could easily retreat.

Lu Zhangsheng had no doubt that the Sanhe Gang was definitely waiting with a large net for him to drill into.

He wasn't so foolish as to know there was a tiger in the mountain and still head toward the tiger mountain.

His own safety was always in the first position.

Now the enemy was in the light and he was in the dark; there was plenty of time to play slowly, so naturally, he wouldn't rush for a moment.

Rashly rushing out to intercept their caravan again would likely lead to death without knowing how he died; he never underestimated anyone, let alone such a large gang.

As long as he collected Source Energy Points and charged again, his strength would increase greatly, and exploring the mountains and forests would be more in line with his own interests.

Once his cultivation techniques and skills both broke through, striking the Sanhe Gang and its allied factions together would be the best choice.

By then, the other party would have just relaxed their vigilance and wouldn't expect him to return for a counter-attack.

A moment later, Lu Zhangsheng had already made a decision in his heart: after checking in at the Demon-Suppressing Division tomorrow, he would go to explore the Cangyun Mountain Range.

Taking advantage of the fact that he had no Source Energy Points in hand, he went directly to the side hall to start practicing Overlord Blade and Spiral Nine Shadows.

Just as Lu Zhangsheng was practicing diligently, in a room behind the courtyard.

Fang Qing and her younger brother were sitting opposite each other.

"Sister, are you stupid? Now Brother Changsheng is about to become an official Demon-Suppressing Envoy; the threshold for the little wives outside coming to propose marriage is about to be trampled down, and you still haven't taken action..."

"When you lose your chance, don't blame your little brother for not reminding you..."

Fang Tao had a face of "hating iron for not becoming steel."

Fang Qing's face flushed red, somewhat hesitant.

As a young maiden, how could she make such a decision?

"Suit yourself."

Fang Tao immediately rose and walked out of the room without looking back.

Fang Qing gritted her teeth, seemingly having made up her mind.

After many days of getting along, her impression of Lu Zhangsheng had long since changed; that once-idle man had completely disappeared, and instead, he had risen steadily, causing ripples in her heart.

"Whoosh..."

Fang Qing took a deep breath and rose to walk outside.

She sneaked to the outside of Lu Zhangsheng's room and pushed the door open directly.

Afterward, she quickly walked to the bedside, lay down, and covered her red, burning cheeks with the quilt.

It had taken her a long time to struggle before finally making this decision.

Her heart was filled with shyness.

Fang Qing waited quietly, her heart both nervous and afraid, feeling very strange.

Until she couldn't hold on any longer, she slowly fell asleep.

…………

The next day, early morning.

Lu Zhangsheng had practiced martial arts all night and walked out of the room, preparing to return to his own room to wash up.

Just as he pushed open the door, he was stunned.

He saw Fang Qing standing in the room, seemingly cleaning something, her eyes very evasive.

"Sister Qingsao, no need to be so diligent; you just cleaned yesterday."

Lu Zhangsheng smiled, his tone kind.

"Mm..."

Fang Qing nodded, her face covered in red clouds, and she walked out of the room as if fleeing.

Lu Zhangsheng was somewhat confused.

He stopped thinking about it.
