The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 88: Chapter 88 Choosing Martial Arts Chapter 88: Chapter 88 Choosing Martial Arts On the high platform of the square!

“Lin Clan Leader, what do you have to say now?

Just now, I seemed to hear you say you were going to slap your own face?”

Fourth Elder Jing Tianying looked at Lin Nanluo with a smile.

“What?”

“Oh, that…

I just remembered that there’s a very important matter I have to deal with back at home!

Everyone, my apologies, I have to leave for a while.”

“Jing Clan Patriarch, I’ll be taking my leave first then!

No need to see me out, no need for that!

Please don’t be polite!”

Lin Nanluo, shaking off his sleeves, leapt down from the high platform and sprinted out, his Primordial Qi becoming a streak of smoke.

The remaining crowd was left gawking at the old man’s haste to flee.

In truth, Jing Tianying had only made a casual remark; he certainly could not expect to see Lin Nanluo truly slap his own face, considering the other man was the leader of Donglin City’s second-largest clan.

“Jing Clan Patriarch, I also need to leave!”

“Farewell!

Farewell!”

“Today was truly worth it; seeing such an exciting battle.

Jing Clan Patriarch, congratulations!”

“…”

Guests in the VIP seats started to leave one after another.

Those with good relations with the Jing Family also spoke up to congratulate Jing Chengye.

Most people felt somewhat weighed down.

Jing Yan’s performance had been monstrous, almost beyond description.

Had they not seen it with their own eyes, who would believe that a Ninth Layer Heaven martial artist could defeat a strong person from the Innate Realm?

Not just in Donglin City, but across the whole Lanqu County, it was unlikely such a person would emerge in several decades.

Aside from those families and powers dependent on the Jing Family, other clans or powers probably did not wish to see such a prodigy emerge from the Jing Family.

If they could be happy about it, that would be strange!

“Jing Yan, congratulations!” Jing Ziqi also said with a smile, “Your current strength might even surpass mine.

I really don’t know how you’ve trained.

If you were to step into the Innate Realm, probably even those in the Innate Middle Stage wouldn’t be your match.”

Jing Ziqi was speaking the truth.

The Innate Realm was divided into Early Innate, Innate Middle Stage, Late Innate, and Peak of Innate.

Following Innate, comes Dao Spirit!

Jing Tianlong was a martial artist in the Early Innate Stage.

However, among those in the Early Innate Stage, he should be considered quite strong.

But still, he was no match for Jing Yan.

The Jing Family competition had come to an end.

However, the discussions about Jing Yan continued to ferment within Donglin City, with the trend escalating.

Jing Yan’s reputation in Donglin City seemed to be surpassing the time when he stepped into the Innate Realm at fourteen.

However, Jing Yan was not concerned about these matters.

After a few days, he healed the injuries on his body.

During the battle with Jing Tianlong, Jing Yan had also sustained light injuries.

Once the injuries were healed, Jing Yan went to the Treasure Pavilion in Donglin First City and purchased ten top-grade spirit stones.

After his Primordial Energy had formed a fog, the Primordial Qi inside his Martial Arts Meridians seemed not as abundant.

The two top-grade spirit stones from before were not enough to replenish the Primordial Qi within his Martial Arts Meridians.

After acquiring ten top-grade spirit stones, Jing Yan’s resources were left with about twenty thousand ordinary spiritual stones, thirteen top-grade Spirit Stones, and one Divine Wood Token.

It took about two months to consume the thirteen top-grade spirit stones, but Jing Yan finally cultivated the Martial Arts Ninth Layer Heaven to its limit, reaching what some martial artists called the Half-step Innate Realm.

And the remaining deficiencies in the Moon Cutting Sword Technique were also repaired by two, meaning only three deficiencies were left to be fixed.

Afterward, Jing Yan visited the Family’s Martial Arts Treasure Vault, used the Divine Wood Token to gain access to the third layer of the Treasure Vault.

In the past, Jing Yan had also entered the third layer of the Family’s Martial Arts Treasure Vault, where he cultivated the Upper Grade Martial Arts, the Moon Cutting Sword Technique.

Actually, inside the third layer of the Jing Family Martial Arts Treasure Vault, there weren’t many High Grade Martial Arts.

For Jing Yan, his first choice would definitely be Swordsmanship.

Within this third layer, there were only five High Grade Sword Skill Martial Arts in total.

If it had been the old Jing Yan, cultivating one upper-grade martial arts technique, like the Moon Cutting Sword Technique, would seem sufficient.

But for the current Jing Yan, he could continue to fuse martial arts.

If he could integrate another upper-grade martial arts into the Moon Cutting Sword Technique, what level would the power of the Moon Cutting Sword Technique increase to?

Thinking about it, Jing Yan was filled with anticipation, which is why he was eager to use the Divine Wood Token.

“Jing Yan, these martial arts stele are all sword techniques, you can take a good look at their descriptions and then choose an upper-grade martial arts to cultivate,” said Sixth Elder Jing Mingzhi with a smile to Jing Yan.

In this world, general martial arts were stored within a particular type of stele.

These stele were made from special ores and could store Dao Power containing martial arts information.

Of course, when martial artists cultivated martial arts, it would consume the Dao Power in the martial arts stele.

Generally speaking, one martial arts stele could usually be used three to four times.

Once the contained Dao Power was completely exhausted, the stele would lose much of its value.

For this reason, any family would have rather strict screening for the cultivation of martial arts by their descendants.

Especially regarding upper-grade martial arts stele, each one was of extremely high value, hard to obtain, and definitely something to be used sparingly.

The Martial Arts Treasure Vault was normally managed by Jing Mingzhi.

Now, Jing Mingzhi’s attitude towards Jing Yan had changed significantly compared to when Jing Yan was testing his strength in the Family’s Martial Arts Hall.

Although Jing Mingzhi was not bad to Jing Yan then, it was nothing compared to now.

Currently, Jing Mingzhi was personally accompanying Jing Yan to the third layer of the Martial Arts Treasure Vault to pick a martial arts technique.

“Okay!” Jing Yan nodded in response to Jing Mingzhi’s words.

Actually, Jing Yan already had a general understanding of these upper-grade sword skill martial arts stele within the family’s Martial Arts Treasure Vault during his last visit.

Otherwise, he would not have chosen the Moon Cutting Sword Technique.

“It will be this one, the Flowing Water Sword Technique,” Jing Yan’s gaze settled on one of the martial arts stele.

According to the introduction on the stele, the Flowing Water Sword Technique was a rather gentle martial art which used relatively less Primordial Qi during execution, but its advantage lay in its endurance.

Jing Yan’s New Moon Cutting Sword Technique was immensely powerful, but also extraordinarily consuming.

This was clearly felt during his battle with Jing Tianlong.

And after integrating the new upper-grade martial arts, the consumption of Primordial Qi would undoubtedly be even more astonishing, so Jing Yan’s choice for the comparatively less consuming Flowing Water Sword Technique was quite appropriate.

“Eh?

How does such a broken place still hold such powerful martial arts?”

At that moment, Jing Yan suddenly received a message in his consciousness.
