Martial Arts: Mountain Splitting Saber Technique (Third Level Entry Level 34%, Upgradeable; Special Effect: Explosive Level 4, Mountain Splitting Force Level 1, Life Extension 20 years)
Looking at the martial arts column, Han Zhao muttered in his heart, “Upgrade the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique to the second Blood Qi Breakthrough.”
As soon as Han Zhao finished speaking, the 8 attribute points flashed and the number began to jump. The words on the martial arts column quickly blurred.
He felt as if his body was burning as if he was hugging a furnace. His blood qi increased rapidly, and the feeling of his muscles expanding appeared again.
However, after the intense pain from cultivating the Vajra Technique last time, this pain was basically negligible to him.
Moreover, the feeling of his blood qi increasing was truly intoxicating.
It felt so good!
Power surged from all over his body.
[Attribute Points: 8 → 3]
Martial Arts: Mountain Splitting Saber Technique (Third Level Small Mastery 88%, Upgradeable; Special Effect: Explosive Level 5, Mountain Splitting Force Level 2, Life Extension 20 years)
The words on the attribute pane became clear again.
He had also consumed 5 attribute points to reach the Third Level Small Mastery. The Mountain Splitting Saber Technique increased his progress by 154% in one go.
It was much more than the Life Nurturing Technique.
The stronger a cultivation technique was, the less percentage it could increase with attribute points. However, the effect would be even more obvious after the increase.
Han Zhao mobilized the blood qi in his body, and his arms began to heat up.
He rolled up his sleeves and saw that his arm had turned red.
Soon, two black patterns that were like mountain peaks appeared on his arms.
“The second Blood Qi Breakthrough of the Blood Tempering Realm is nothing much.”
Han Zhao adapted to the changes in his body, and his blood qi doubled again.
In terms of total blood qi, he was also one of the top few people at the third Blood Qi Breakthrough stage.
When one’s total blood qi reached this level, they would usually hurry up and transform all their blood qi into the Blood Imprint. Then, they would use the Blood Imprint to increase their total Internal Force before trying to grasp it.
Once he successfully broke through and advanced to the Force Tempering Martial Master Realm, he would be able to cross ranks in one go.
“I’m still a long way from breaking through to the third Blood Qi Breakthrough. I’m afraid I’ll have to reach the perfected stage.”
Looking at the remaining three attribute points, Han Zhao did not continue to add them to the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique.
As for the Life Nurturing Technique, it would not change after 3 points.
“I can improve the Vajra Technique.”
Martial Arts: Vajra Technique (First Level Entry Level 1%, Upgradeable)
Han Zhao found the Vajra Technique that had just completed the foundation in the last column of the martial arts column and muttered, “Upgrade the Vajra Technique.”
[Attribute Points: 3 → 0]
Pain instantly filled Han Zhao’s entire body. He once again experienced the pain that was worse than death.
“Hiss ~!” He gritted his teeth and did not scream.
Fortunately, this pain only lasted for a moment before it quickly disappeared.
Martial Arts: Vajra Technique (First Level Small Mastery 15%, Upgradeable; Special Effect: Tendon Stretching Level 1)
“Good lord, it’s so difficult to improve!”
Han Zhao looked at the Vajra Technique that had become Small Mastery in his attribute pane and couldn’t help but frown.
Back then, the Life Nurturing Technique only used 1 attribute point to advance to the Small Mastery realm. This Vajra Technique used 3 points.
Of course, the harder it was to improve, the stronger the cultivation method.
For the time being, he did not feel any major changes in his body. However, he only needed to spend some time cultivating his foundation and aptitude. Through the comparison of progress, he would know how much it had improved.
…
Five days later.
In the afternoon.
Mountain Shaking Fist Academy.
The courtyard that originally could accommodate 50 to 60 people was already surrounded by three layers.
Other than the Mountain Shaking Fist Academy apprentices in black training clothes, there were also martial artists in gray, white, and green training clothes.
After Zhang Tianwen broke through to the Blood Tempering Realm, a few martial arts schools that taught weapons gathered together again.
This was the tradition of the Martial Master Alliance, but it was not mandatory.
Previously, when Zhao Yuantu broke through to the Blood Tempering Realm, it was only a private exchange between a few martial arts schools that taught martial arts. It was not as grand as the last time when Meng Zhi broke through and made everyone in Blackrock City know.
This time, when Zhang Tianwen broke through, the three martial arts schools, the Overlord Spear, the Flying Cloud Saber, and the Shenmu Sword, all sent disciples at the first Blood Qi Breakthrough realm to communicate with the Mountain Splitting Saber.
Martial artists who practiced weapons were naturally stronger than those who practiced fists and feet at the same level.
Therefore, such exchange also attracted the apprentices of the various martial arts schools to come and observe.
At this moment, Han Zhao was standing in the field in a blue suit.
Clang!
He slashed out with his saber and deflected the long sword of the green-robed girl in front of him. The long saber followed the momentum and fell. Then, he raised it from the bottom and sent the other short sword in the green-robed girl’s hand flying. The saber was placed in front of the girl’s neck.
Han Zhao sheathed his saber and cupped his fists. “Thank you for letting me win.”
“Thank you for showing mercy, Senior Brother Han.”
The girl in green blushed and looked at Han Zhao eagerly.
“Please.” Han Zhao’s expression was calm as he gestured for her to leave.
The girl in green bit her lips and stomped her feet coquettishly before running out of the arena.
Her fellow disciples were envious, but they had already been defeated by Han Zhao and could not go on stage again.
Lu Yi looked at Han Zhao with a smile. Although this kid usually liked to play tricks, he did not break his promise.
He had single-handedly challenged seven to eight disciples from three martial arts schools. No one in Blackrock City could compare to his battle results at the Bone Tempering Realm.
Seeing Han Zhao use his saber was simply ‘pleasing to the eye’. It really gave him a lot of face.
“Junior Brother Han’s saber technique is indeed exquisite. It makes me tempted. Why don’t I spar with you?”
At this moment, an ordinary-looking and muscular white-clothed young man walked into the field and took out two pieces of steel short spears that could be combined from his back.
