Professionals of the Starry Skies - Chapter 40

[40. Chapter 40: The Sword of Passion (Please collect it)]

In the early morning, there was a thin mist.

Fang Xing picked up the tempered steel knife he had just bought from a stall and slowly practiced his sword moves.

The key to the A-level martial arts ‘Ghost Sword’ is to simulate the artistic conception, meditation and hypnosis!
Once this aspect is mastered, the moves will be very simple.

After practicing the sword technique, Fang Xing’s eyes flickered as he stared at the attribute panel:
[Name: Fang Xing]

Age: 17

[Occupation: Warrior]

[Second level: tendons and bones (tendon training: 31/100)]

[Twelve Military Boxing Styles: 61/100 (Proficient)]

[Big Dragon Posture: 14/200 (Mastery)]

[Ghost Sword: 2/100 (Beginner)]

【Gate of the Heavens (Charging)】

…

“This tranquilizing pill can not only assist in the practice of the ‘Ghost God Sword’, but more importantly, when the drug takes effect, I seem to enter a strange state, similar to the ‘spiritual consciousness’ of a cultivator, and can completely control every part of myself… This is the peerless form of martial arts!”

“Unfortunately, this state only exists during the period when the pill takes effect, and it is gone after that… Even so, the tranquilizing pill will definitely be of great benefit to my martial arts.”

Looking at the increase in various data on the panel, Fang Xing’s eyes lit up.

He felt more and more that there were still many treasures in Qinglinfang City, waiting for him to discover.

“Practice martial arts! Practice martial arts!”

“With such good conditions, it would be a shame if I didn’t work hard to get it…”

“According to my progress, I will definitely be able to beat Gu Yun to tears before school starts…”

For Fang Xing, nothing else matters, only practicing martial arts is the most important!
Now with the batch of herbs he picked, he has no shortage of spirit stones.

Daily nourishment of spiritual rice and monster meat, along with an aura environment, and occasionally ‘tranquility pills’ to aid in cultivation.

With these multiple effects, his progress in martial arts was accelerating by leaps and bounds.

In fact, he was so immersed in this crazy martial arts training that he didn’t know how much time was passing in the outside world…

This day.

Hiss!

In the fenced courtyard, sword energy was flying back and forth.

The one-inch blade light on the steel knife in Fang Xing’s hand suddenly increased to about three inches, emitting a bright glow.

“After getting started with ‘Ghost Sword’, it’s just like learning ordinary martial arts. Just grind it out every day…”

“Its realm is probably the same as other martial arts. First you get started, then you become proficient, and then you become proficient… Above the ‘proficient’ level, it should not be a simulation of artistic conception, but a complete mastery of this artistic conception, and then it will be upgraded to a true ‘artistic martial arts’!”

“Although the Blue Star Federation’s Jade Realm warriors are at a similar level to the Xiantian, their combat power is definitely greater… Then what about the strength of the fourth level ‘Courage’ warriors?”

“At least, he should be able to compete with a master in the late stage of Qi training, right? Or…perfect Qi training?”

Fang Xing guessed in his heart.

The innate masters of this world, even the most advanced ones, can only be compared to the cultivators in the middle stage of Qi training.

When one reaches the late stage of Qi training, he is considered a master in Qinglin Market, and there are no more than a few hundred people in the entire market.

Not to mention those who have perfected their Qi training.

“I just wonder how it compares to a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage?”

“Forget it, I’ve been thinking too much.”

Fang Xing was about to go back to the house when his expression suddenly changed.

Boom!
The ground began to tremble slightly.

He looked up suddenly and saw that the formation that originally covered Qinglin Market was opened, and countless spiritual lights fell like raindrops.

The flying boats, more than ten meters high and hundreds of meters long, slowly moved out of the market like giant war beasts.

The terrifying aura and pressure made Fang Xing think of the Federation’s “space fighters”, although they were the smallest models…

“Follow the sect’s order to wipe out the beast tide!”

An old, deep voice came, and it actually resounded throughout the market!
The first time Fang Xing heard this voice, he shuddered: “Foundation Building Monk?!”

“It’s a foundation building exercise!”

“Finally, the Qingxuan Sect can no longer bear it and is about to take action!”

“Haha, let’s go together and wipe out the beast tide. We’ll get a lot of spirit stones!”

The monks in the market town cheered and jumped, and followed excitedly one by one.

For them, they are not afraid of danger, but they are afraid of the status quo and no chance!

Roar!

At this moment, a terrible beast roar was heard outside the market!

The sound was like muffled thunder, and it carried a completely different kind of pressure from that of a first-level monster.

“It’s a second-level monster!”

Someone among the casual cultivators exclaimed.

“How dare you, a mere monster, be so presumptuous!”

The old voice from before sounded again, with a hint of anger.

“Coming?”

Fang Xing saw that from the fleet, a ray of ochre-colored light surged out, like a long rainbow, shooting towards the direction of the beast’s roar.

Then, a horrifying muffled sound followed, accompanied by the roar of the second-level monster.

A moment later, an old man wearing a green Taoist robe, with three long beards and an immortal look on his face, came back dragging the corpse of a second-level monster as big as a hill.

This second-level monster is a gigantic ape, about sixteen meters tall. Even when it falls to the ground, it is still as majestic as a mountain. One of its claws can easily crush many cultivators into meat paste.

The hair on his body was cold, like a sharp sword, and there was still a little bit of spiritual light that had not dissipated. Blood continued to flow out of the wound, and the corpse occasionally twitched…

However, it still died… at the hands of a Foundation Establishment cultivator!

“Sure enough, cultivators still have a certain advantage when dealing with monsters of the same level, but the fact that they can crush them so easily may be due to a small gap. This ape may just be a second-level low-grade monster, while the Qingxuan Sect’s foundation-building cultivator may be in the middle stage, or even higher…”

Fang Xing pondered secretly, looking at the ape corpse with a hint of eagerness: “Second-level monster meat, I wonder what its effect is?”

“Go!”

At this time, accompanied by the voice of the old man who was building the foundation, the army of flying boats continued to advance, followed by many independent cultivators and warriors who brought their own dry food.

Although they are recruited voluntarily, they will be rewarded if they make contributions in killing monsters.

In fact, it is extremely rich.

This is a feast, even though it is bloody…

“Forget it, this situation is not suitable for me…”

Fang Xing took one last look at the team, shook his head, returned to the house, and prepared to hide on the Eagle Star.

Although this expedition against the Qingxuan Sect is definitely fully prepared, the chances of victory are very high.

There are many benefits to fighting a favorable battle, but he just doesn’t want to.

The sky is big, the earth is big, and you are the biggest.

This kind of dangerous situation must be avoided.

…

Eagle star.

Happy Garden Community.

“It’s August already…”

Looking at the thunder and lightning and heavy rain outside, Fang Xing looked at the calendar and murmured, “School starts in September…”

Only then did he seem to come back to his senses from the atmosphere of the market town.

“People should have their own independence and not be easily swept away by the general trend… If someone is simple-minded, he might get carried away by what he saw just now and join in the fight… What good will it do if I fight for my life?”

Fang Xing muttered to himself as he picked up the communicator to see if anyone had contacted him recently.

“Hmm? In normal communication, not many people come to see me. After all, my only best friend before was Liu Wei, and now Liu Wei doesn’t want to play with me anymore… But Ouyang Qianqian actually asked me to go to the gym for a martial arts competition? It seems that this girl still won’t give up…”

He looked at several missed calls, replied one by one, then picked up another communicator and entered the password.

This is a communicator obtained from the black market. The positioning function has been erased and it is not registered under his name, which can avoid a lot of trouble.

On the black market communicator, there was even less information, only one message.

“Hmm? Zhang Jiarui? Is there any activity going on in the Blood Cage Fighting Arena?”

He looked at the contact and couldn’t help feeling a little strange, but he also knew that this ‘meat-filled’ bunny girl was not an ordinary person, so he answered the message immediately.

Ding!
A holographic image appeared, it was Zhang Jiarui!
At this time, the other party was wearing a small black suit, and her temperament looked much more capable.

“Guest… he has been promoted to manager now. As for the A-level martial arts you asked me to search for before, I have also found some clues. You must have heard of the name of ‘Extreme Passion Sword’, right? There just happened to be a coach in the fighting arena recently who is good at ‘Extreme Passion Sword’ and is willing to serve as a personal trainer. If you want to make an appointment, you can contact this number…”

This is a video that has already been recorded.

Fang Xing closed it directly, and then thought: “Extreme Love Sword? It’s a bit late… I have already mastered the Ghost Sword, and you are telling me this?”

He remembered that he had mentioned similar things to Zhang Jiarui before.

But I didn’t expect that the other party actually remembered it and found it!

“Sword of Extreme Love!”

Thinking of this, Fang Xing immediately went online to search for content related to the ‘Extreme Love Sword’.

“The Extreme Emotion Sword is an A-level martial art created by the martial arts master Yuan Lang. It is famous for its exquisite sword techniques and amazing power… When practicing, you need to simulate extreme emotions, which can be friendship, love, or hatred… Because it is too extreme, it is not included in the scope of high school teaching!”

“Fuck, extreme emotions are actually considered to be more powerful than other A-level martial arts. Isn’t this a bit dangerous?”

“But I do like swordsmanship, and it’s rare for Zhang Jiarui to find a private tutor…”

After thinking about it, Fang Xing decided to conceal his true face first, then made a call using a black market communicator to express his gratitude and inquire about the price.

In the picture, Zhang Jiarui is still wearing a small suit and sitting in the office, like an ordinary urban white-collar worker.

Hearing Fang Xing’s question, Zhang Jiarui smiled: “Coach Ping is very easy to talk to. This time he agreed to give me the cost price. One hundred thousand for one class will be enough…”

“One class… one hundred thousand?! Let me think about it…”

Fang Xing felt a toothache.

“Oh, and… the client’s previous commission has also found a person. He has triangular eyes, is white, and is good at communicating with small animals… In the black market, only ‘Scavenger’ Lance is a good match. This is free information. If you want detailed information, the price is 200,000…”

Zhang Jiarui continued with a smile.

“Really? Thank you. I’ll come back to trade later.”

Fang Xing hung up the phone expressionlessly.

“Lance the Scavenger?”

There was a flash of coldness in his eyes.
