65. Can Martial Arts Bring Immortality?
65. Can Martial Arts Bring Immortality?
"Thirteen saber shadows with one strike. My saber technique has improved again!"
Lin Fei's heart moved, and he immediately silently recited, "System."
Suddenly, the system panel appeared in front of him.
Host: Lin Fei
Martial Arts Realm: Acquired First Level
Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist: Perfection (0% progress)
Nine Shadow Saber Technique: Perfection (43% progress)
Saber-Drawing Technique: Beginner (15% progress)
Flowing Clothes Skill: Transcendence (0% progress)
Lin Fei saw the system panel and found that Saber-Drawing Technique had just reached the beginner level, which was within his expectations.
The progress of the Nine Shadow Saber Technique had actually increased by 25%, reaching 43% progress, which was a remarkable leap forward.
It must be noted that Lin Fei had incorporated some saber techniques that were slightly weaker than Nine Shadow Saber Technique, and they were all in the perfection realm. But one saber technique only increased the progress of the Nine Shadow Saber Technique by 2%.
But now, Lin Fei had comprehended the secret of using inner power with the Nine Shadow Saber Technique, which resulted in a 25% increase in progress.
As Lin Fei slowly sorted out his memories of the Nine Shadow Saber Technique, he gradually understood the reason for this.
The reason why Nine Shadow Saber Technique had such a significant improvement was that Lin Fei had paired it with inner power. By using inner power to execute Nine Shadow Saber Technique, its power could be directly increased.
This was equivalent to elevating Nine Shadow Saber Technique from a Body Refining level martial art to an Acquired level martial art. It was a qualitative leap!
Therefore, the 25% increase in progress for Nine Shadow Saber Technique was normal. Lin Fei was also certain that every time the progress of the Nine Shadow Saber Technique increased by 10%, one more saber shadow would be added. So, it increased to thirteen saber shadows from ten saber shadows.
Of course, it was not just the number of shadows that increased, but also the power of the saber technique. The power of one strike with ten saber shadows was vastly different from that of thirteen saber shadows.
Lin Fei felt that the time had come, so he got up and left the practice room. He had only selected one Acquired level martial art this time and could still choose two more, but Lin Fei did not intend to choose anymore. He decided to wait until he got a master before selecting any martial arts.
So, he left the second floor and arrived at the first floor. He spent some contribution points and took some basic boxing techniques with him.
These basic boxing techniques would slowly reach perfection with time.
When that time came, he would incorporate them into the Dragon-Elephant Vajra Fist, which would increase its foundation of it and improve its progress.
Lin Fei returned to his courtyard and waited quietly for news from the sect.
...
"Sect Master."
At this moment, in the main hall of the Nine Profound Sect, an old man with white hair suddenly arrived.
Although the old man had white hair, he had a vigorous spirit and a healthy complexion, with no signs of aging.
The master of the sect wore a gorgeous robe and quickly stood up to greet the old man, saying, "Greetings, Grand Elder Kong Ming."
The white-haired old man was none other than the prestigious Grand Elder Kong Ming of the Nine Profound Sect.
Every Grand Elder of the Nine Profound Sect was an innate powerhouse, and even the sect master did not dare to neglect them.
"Sect Master, you sent a message a few days ago saying that there was a talented disciple with Triple Inner Power. His name is Lin Fei, right?" Elder Kong Ming asked.
"Yes, his name is Lin Fei," the sect master replied.
"Have you investigated his background thoroughly?" Elder Kong Ming asked again.
"Grand Elder Kong Ming, Lin Fei is a descendant of the Lin family in Zhou Mountain Mansion City. He joined our Nine Profound Sect three years ago and only just broke through to the fourth level of Body Refining, barely qualifying for the outer sect," the sect master explained.
"Then, in just a few months, he made an incredible breakthrough from the fourth layer of Body Refining to the limit of Body Refining, and even birthed an inner power, breaking through to the acquired realm," he continued.
The sect master had investigated Lin Fei's background thoroughly.
Of course, this was not a secret. Someone who was interested and took a little effort could find out.
"Sect Master, don't you find it a bit strange? Lin Fei was silent before, but now he has made a name for himself. Moreover, his cultivation speed is so fast."
The sect master hesitated for a moment and nodded, "I do have some doubts. Please enlighten me, Grand Elder."
"It's simple, Martial Arts Heart!"
"Hmm? What do you mean?" The sect master looked puzzled.
"Some people perform poorly in the early stages. That's because they haven't been under pressure. I think this son must have been under pressure during the three-year period.
So he finally broke through before the three-year period arrived. Then he became unstoppable, probably because he had a firm grasp of his martial arts heart.
To put it bluntly, he must have understood why he practices martial arts. Usually, these things can only be understood after reaching innate. Sect Master, we martial artists are different from Qi cultivators.
For Qi cultivators, talent and aptitude are the most important. Without talent and aptitude, everything is in vain. For us martial artists, the most important thing is intelligence and willpower.
Only with excellent intelligence and a firm heart for martial arts can we overcome all obstacles and eventually reach innate.
Sect Master, you can bring this disciple into the hall and ask him."
The sect master hesitated for a moment.
The heart for martial arts, willpower, and intelligence.
He felt that Grand Elder was not here to accept Lin Fei as a disciple but to give him guidance. He had been stuck at the peak of acquired for many years.
Does he still have a chance to reach innate?
"Grand Elder, please wait a moment. I'm gonna call Lin Fei to the hall immediately!"
The sect master waved his hand.
Immediately, someone went to the inner gate to call Lin Fei.
At this moment, Lin Fei was practicing the saber technique in his own yard.
"Lin Fei, the Sect Master is summoning you. Hurry and follow me to the hall."
"Finally..."
Lin Fei stood up and followed the messenger martial artist.
The sect master's hall was located in the center of the entire Nine Profound Sect.
Lin Fei demonstrated his lightness skills and followed closely behind the messenger martial artist.
After a while, they arrived at the hall. When he entered the hall, he saw two martial artists sitting at the top.
One was a middle-aged man wearing a luxurious robe, exuding a majestic aura. The other was an elderly man with white hair and a sharp spirit.
"Greetings, Sect Master. Greetings, Grand Elder!" Lin Fei immediately paid his respects.
He had already received a message from the martial artist on the way here, knowing that the Grand Elder Zhao Kongming had personally come today. Most likely it was to accept him as a disciple.
The sect master looked at Lin Fei and examined him up and down. Then he spoke in a deep voice: "Lin Fei, just a few months ago, you were only at the third level of Body Refining.
In just a few months, you have progressed all the way to the Acquired Realm. Grand Elder Zhao Kongming told me that you have a heart for martial arts.
I ask you, what is your heart for martial arts Or, what is the goal you want to achieve in your martial arts practice?"
The sect master's words echoed in the hall. And also echoed in Lin Fei's ears.
Lin Fei's heart trembled. He knew he had progressed quickly in his cultivation, of course. But Elder Zhao Kongming actually said he had the heart for martial arts.
So what was his heart for martial arts? Lin Fei fell into deep thought.
What was his purpose in practicing martial arts?
After a long time, Lin Fei looked up and gazed at Elder Zhao Kongming.
He asked loudly word by word, "May I ask Grand Elder, can martial arts bring immortality?"
