Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

After figuring this out, Chu Yunfan felt a sense of clarity.

Then, he examined the low-level Earth-rank martial arts technique he had received earlier.

Originally, he already possessed the "Gale Sword Technique" at the peak of the Earth Rank, so he looked down on sword techniques at the beginner level of the Earth Rank.

But then I thought, every sword technique has its own characteristics, and it's always good to have more options.

After all, when he fights someone, he can't just use his special move right away; he has to have other methods to deal with various battles.

Save your most powerful moves as a trump card to be used in crucial moments.

Moreover, for a martial arts master, even a low-level Earth-rank sword technique is not weak in power.

Moreover, a beginner-level Earth-rank sword technique that can be distributed to all disciples of Tianji Peak must be a masterpiece among beginner-level Earth-rank sword techniques.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the entire Qingyun Sword Sect to take it out to fight?

In fact, Chu Yunfan was not disappointed after seeing this sword technique.

This sword technique, called "Thousand Hundred Swords," is a very interesting one. It doesn't have many complicated moves; from beginning to end, it simply teaches people how to draw their swords quickly.

Once you reach the beginner level of cultivation, you can unleash ten sword strikes in a single go.

Once you reach the minor mastery level in your cultivation, you can unleash twenty sword strikes in a single go.

When one cultivates to the highest level, one can unleash fifty sword strikes in a single burst.

As for the perfect realm, it is when one sword strikes and a hundred swords arrive.

It looks like only one sword strike was made, but when you try to block it, you find that there are ninety-nine more sword strikes waiting for you.

Of course, many people don't know that beyond perfection, there is another realm in martial arts training, called the Transformation Realm.

The so-called "realm of perfection" refers to cultivating a martial art to a level of unparalleled skill, surpassing its creator and unleashing power far exceeding the skill itself.

For example, the creator of "Thousands of Swords" initially hoped to achieve the goal of turning one sword into a thousand swords, but unfortunately, his skill was limited, and he could only manage to do one hundred swords.

However, he hoped that someone could surpass him and reach the point where one sword could transform into a thousand swords, so this sword technique was eventually named "Thousand Hundred Swords".

Chu Yunfan saw this passage at the very end of the martial arts manual.

Therefore, he learned about the realm of transformation for the first time.

"Just the mention of the 'Transcendent Realm' alone makes this sword manual worth reading!"

After finishing his sentence, Chu Yunfan put away his sword technique and then walked out of the cave.

Of course, he didn't go out to practice swordsmanship; instead, he went to the outer gate.

He knew that alchemists were of noble status, and with his current position, he could not come into contact with alchemists of the third rank or above to request them to refine pills.

Therefore, he came to the outer gate forest, intending to ask the Fifth Elder to introduce him to someone.

As an outer sect elder and a Martial King realm expert, it wouldn't be a problem for the Fifth Elder to invite a third-tier alchemist.

However, when Chu Yunfan arrived at the Fifth Elder's courtyard, he found a sign hanging at the entrance that read "Closed-door cultivation, please do not disturb".

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan had no choice but to leave in disappointment.

Afterwards, Chu Yunfan found the place where the Seventh Elder, Sun Wuli, lived.

But that unreliable Seventh Elder has actually gone on a journey.

Having no other choice, Chu Yunfan had to set his sights on Elder Liu Rufeng.

Although he wasn't that close to Liu Rufeng, at this point, he was the only one he could turn to.

Before long, Chu Yunfan arrived at the entrance of Liu Rufeng's courtyard.

This time, he saw that familiar white figure again, practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard.

"Judging from her aura, she has also broken through to the Martial Master realm. Why is she still practicing swordsmanship in the outer sect?"

Chu Yunfan murmured, a hint of doubt on his face.

At that moment, Liu Suxin, who was practicing her sword, also noticed Chu Yunfan's arrival.

"You've come at the perfect time! Sparring with me for a few moves!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Suxin charged towards Chu Yunfan with her sword.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan could only manage a wry smile.

"This girl, why does she love fighting so much? She starts fighting the moment we meet!"

Even so, Chu Yunfan had come with a request, so he couldn't afford to offend the young lady in front of him. He had no choice but to take out his longsword and start fighting with Liu Suxin.

After the fight began, Chu Yunfan was surprised to find that Liu Suxin's swordsmanship had improved a lot in just one month.

Not only was her sword speed faster, but she also learned to deflect force. Even though he was much stronger than her, her wrists did not tremble like last time.

After a few moves, they were evenly matched.

Although this was the result of him holding back somewhat, it was still quite good.

When Liu Suxin saw the surprised expression on Chu Yunfan's face, a smile immediately appeared on her pretty face.

"A scholar should be viewed with new eyes after three days' absence; don't underestimate me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Suxin let out a delicate shout:

A gentle breeze caresses the mountain ridge!

Liu Suxin had used this tactic on Chu Yunfan before.

This time, however, she used it again, but her skill had improved a lot. First of all, her sword strokes were much faster, and in the blink of an eye, the tip of her sword had already reached Chu Yunfan.

Secondly, she had already grasped some of the essence of this sword strike, which was like a gentle breeze brushing against a mountain ridge, where unintentional action was more effective than deliberate intent.

On the surface, the sword seemed to be thrusting straight at Chu Yunfan.

But upon closer inspection, one discovers that this sword strike, like a gentle breeze, darts left and right unpredictably, and until it finally strikes, you have no idea where it will go.

However, the exquisite nature of this sword strike aroused Chu Yunfan's desire to compete, and he began to take it seriously.

"No matter how unpredictable you may be, I will remain steadfast and unmoved!"

Chu Yunfan thought to himself, then thrust out his longsword to block Liu Suxin's sword tip.

At this moment, Liu Suxin's sword suddenly veered off course and stabbed at Chu Yunfan from another direction.

However, despite the speed of the sword strike, it could not escape Chu Yunfan's keen eye.

Moreover, Chu Yunfan's sword speed was faster than Liu Suxin's.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Yunfan flicked his wrist, and his longsword once again blocked Liu Suxin's sword.

Seeing this, Liu Suxin changed the direction of her sword once again.

However, Chu Yunfan still intercepted him.

After repeating this several times, Liu Suxin realized that this sword strike was no match for Chu Yunfan, so she withdrew her sword and retreated, unleashing her second move.

"A gentle breeze stirs the drooping willows!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Suxin's sword transformed into more than twenty sword energies, all of which simultaneously stabbed towards Chu Yunfan.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan suddenly had a brilliant idea: to use the book "Thousand Swords" that he had just read that day to defend himself.

Because Chu Yunfan's sword speed was naturally fast, even without using martial arts techniques, he could unleash more than twenty sword strikes in an instant.

Therefore, he was not worried at all about not being able to withstand this move. Instead, he took this opportunity to practice the "Thousand Hundred Swords".

However, since it was his first time using this sword technique, Chu Yunfan's movements appeared somewhat clumsy.

It seems that he was somewhat flustered in dealing with Liu Suxin's move.

This gave Liu Suxin a glimmer of hope in beating him.

So, Liu Suxin used the "Gentle Breeze Sweeps the Willow" move again to continue stabbing at Chu Yunfan.

This time, Chu Yunfan's condition is a little better, but it seems that he is still struggling to hold on.

Seeing this, Liu Suxin seized the opportunity and continued her attack.

Moreover, driven by her strong competitive spirit, she actually made a breakthrough this time, adding an extra sword strike compared to before.

"You definitely can't stop me now!"

Liu Suxin was secretly delighted.

However, to her disappointment, Chu Yunfan seemed to be able to resist even more easily this time.

"What's happening here?"

Liu Suxin looked puzzled, then defiantly drew her sword again.

This time, Chu Yunfan was able to defend himself with even more composure.

Liu Suxin wasn't stupid either. After several times, she realized that Chu Yunfan was using her as a practice subject for his swordsmanship.

However, she wasn't angry; she thought to herself:

"Since you're using me as a sparring partner, I can use you as my sparring partner too, to practice my 'Gentle Breeze Sword Technique'!"
