Chapter 16 Seven Years of Sword Skill, A Glimpse of Internal Energy!
As Hao Wei walked out of the courtyard, he felt a complex mix of emotions.
No matter how much he tried to persuade him, Zhao An still declined to cooperate with him and showed no interest in becoming the gang leader.
It was all just wishful thinking on his part.
"In that case, we really need to consider how to extricate ourselves..." Hao Wei sighed softly and walked away.
Inside the courtyard, Zhao An didn't take Hao Wei's intentions too seriously.
Being the leader of a gang of thugs was never a promising career for him.
Most importantly, he had no interest in associating with a bunch of celebrities.
Making these red-named individuals his soul slaves is a more cost-effective approach.
......
Several days passed in the blink of an eye.
No one knows what Hao Wei, the advisor, said after he went back, but no one from the Tiger Head Gang ever came looking for him again.
As for the Python Gang, they have been quite well-behaved these past few days, and have not provoked Zhao An again. At most, they only dare to send two or three spies to keep an eye on Zhao An's movements on the street.
Zhao An would also set aside an hour each day to go to the clinic to learn to read and write.
Because of his cultural foundation from his previous life, he was able to learn quickly when he was relearning.
In particular, Zhao An's ability to understand and apply knowledge to new situations made Meng Wanyi feel that he had chosen the wrong profession.
They shouldn't be wielding weapons; instead, they should be studying literature from a young age, becoming refined scholars and gentlemen, and perhaps even passing the imperial examinations and entering officialdom.
Seeing that Zhao An was not clumsy and was genuinely seeking guidance, Meng Wanyi taught him quite seriously and did not rush through the process.
Even when Zhao An wanted to learn some medical principles or alchemy, Meng Wanyi would teach him some things in exchange for the money.
this day.
Zhao An focused his attention on the Soul Pool.
[Soul slave Li Dazhuang's enslavement period has ended. Do you wish to collect his karmic reward?]
"extract."
With a thought, the soul slave, which had already entered standby mode, instantly transformed into a pale red karmic fruit, which was absorbed by Zhao An.
This soul slave, named Li Dazhuang, was enslaved for a full seven years.
During those seven years, Zhao Andu only allowed him to focus on practicing swordsmanship, without stopping for a moment.
Now, the fruits of these seven years of cultivation have finally come to fruition.
During his five years of enslavement, Xu San successfully deduced the Fierce Tiger Saber Skill and mastered it to the first stage of perfection.
The current soul slave, on this basis, has continued to hone this swordsmanship for seven more years.
When everything merged into one, a wealth of content and images suddenly enlightened Zhao An, who had mastered the Fierce Tiger Saber Technique.
Moreover, his muscles, bones, and even meridians are undergoing synchronous transformation.
Zhao An was already used to it. Before he even felt hungry, he had already finished a bowl of soup made from five catties of red blood root.
Before that, he had also had a hearty meal.
This advance replenishment of necessary energy prevented him from being caught off guard by this transformation.
He could feel his body growing stronger, as if he had truly practiced swordsmanship for another seven years.
At the same time, what surprised him the most was that the amount of internal energy circulating in his meridians was also increasing!
One strand, two strands, three strands...
The Fierce Tiger Saber Technique's inherent "internal energy" circulation allows each practitioner to continuously refine and strengthen their internal energy while practicing saber techniques!
The soul slaves were no exception. Their daily internal energy cultivation also became part of the final result and was passed on to their master, Zhao An.
Thus, Zhao An, who originally only had a wisp of internal energy, soon had a hundred wisps of internal energy circulating throughout his body.
Although the wisps of internal energy were still not very stable, they were much stronger than before!
Amidst the swirling strands of internal energy, Zhao An unleashed another strike, its power on a completely different level!
He drank bowl after bowl of the Red Blood Root Decoction without stopping.
This is also the source of his internal energy that allows him to grow stronger and more powerful!
Fortunately, the red blood root was relatively cheap that year, so he didn't need to go to great lengths and could buy it directly from Meng Wanyi's clinic.
It wasn't until after an incense stick had burned that he finally fully digested the fruits of the soul slave's seven years of cultivation.
Zhao An was drenched in sweat, but he was full of energy, his eyes shining brightly.
He simply tapped the table lightly, and his inner energy flowed through his palm onto the tabletop.
The long sword beside him was instantly jolted into the air, which he then grasped and carried to the open space in the courtyard.
The Fierce Tiger Blade Technique was unleashed, its blade domineering, its edge sharp, and its movements as agile as a tiger.
As internal energy flowed in, the blade faintly emitted the roar of a tiger, humming and buzzing.
With one step, he was like a tiger treading a mountain; with one sweep of his blade, dust rose and several stone bricks cracked.
The tiger's roar was hidden within the wind of the blade, and the blade's power reverberated between heaven and earth.
Without a doubt, Zhao An's swordsmanship has become far more refined!
As the leaves fell, the blade flashed in the air, instantly spun around and was sliced into pieces, landing near Zhao An's feet.
Zhao An wielded his knife faster and faster, and his eyes became increasingly clear.
He only stopped performing the technique after he had completely enjoyed himself, and the surging blood and qi in his body gradually calmed down.
Zhao An let out a long breath, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.
His current strength is as if he has truly undergone seven years of arduous training, no, it is far more remarkable than seven years of ordinary arduous training!
The evolution of his physique, the surge in his internal energy, and the breakthrough to the third realm through the Fierce Tiger Saber Technique!
This ninth-grade sword technique has five levels. Once you reach the third level, you will be able to condense the sword into the shape of a tiger and break through the wind barrier with its power!
Zhao An used the same sword technique again, and this time the power of his sword was far greater than before!
Previously, he had only reached the first level of swordsmanship perfection, but now he has skipped the second level and reached the third level. The difference between these two levels is an achievement that ordinary people cannot reach even after more than ten years of hard work.
"Soul slaves are great..."
Zhao An looked at the dozen or so soul slaves he still hadn't used and couldn't help but sigh again.
With so many power levelers at my disposal, how can I not master my sword skills!
Now, when he faces Zhou Hu again, he has the confidence to compete with him and no longer needs to be as humble as before.
He really disliked the feeling of swallowing his anger, especially when faced with that big red name.
"I need to find another opportunity to test the knife!"
Zhao An was not one to sit idly by and wait for death; wouldn't it be frustrating to keep his strength hidden and not use it?
However, before that, he still had one karmic fruit to collect.
[Soul slave Liu Gen, your period of enslavement has ended. Do you wish to collect your karmic reward?]
This soul slave named Liu Gen was also the one he had killed when he passed the three trials.
However, compared to Li Dazhuang's seven-year period of enslavement, Liu Gen only had five years to serve as a slave.
The task Zhao An assigned him was not to practice swordsmanship, but to devote himself to studying and comprehending the contents of that booklet.
That is the so-called Golden Scale Mountain Piling Technique!
He wanted to see if this thing actually came from a major sect's martial arts techniques!
