Wan Jian returns to his clan!

Chapter 76 Reaching for the Stars and the Moon (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

After truly understanding Lu Wubing's cultivation level and swordsmanship.

Shen Liancheng did not question his daughter's reasons for doing so again.

Instead, he silently nodded in agreement.

If it is absolutely necessary to unify the three lineages ahead of schedule, then the Tianxing Sect should select its next leader.

He felt that Lu Wubing, who could charge into Chaoyang Village with a sword without hesitation to advocate for the people, was definitely much better than Yue Lingfeng, who spent his days drinking, dissolute, and causing trouble.

As for his own son.

"That silly guy..."

Shen Liancheng looked up at the sky and sighed, touching the Fulong Sword at his waist, feeling dejected.

……

"This medicine is truly amazing."

Lu Wubing, shirtless, ran around in the backyard, his face and skin flushed red, looking like a boiled shrimp, steaming with heat.

But he didn't feel uncomfortable at all; he just felt that his body had inexhaustible strength.

The most obvious feeling is that it's like I've had a new heart.

A strong, powerful heartbeat pumps fresh blood throughout the body... like the ebb and flow of the tide, surging endlessly.

"Is this a heart-protecting pill? It feels more like a heart-strengthening pill to me."

Lu Wubing kicked the 400-pound stone lock in the yard, caught it, and waved it twice, making a whooshing sound.

This tangible increase in power made him realize that everything was real and true.

He had never practiced body training, but his physique naturally became much stronger.

He transformed from a frail scholar into a vigorous warrior with strength comparable to that of a wild beast.

Lu Changfeng commented from the side:
"A strong heart leads to vigorous blood. A single pill can fundamentally change the heart, skipping the processes of flesh refining, bone forging, tendon strengthening, marrow cleansing, and blood replacement, and directly proceeding to organ refining."

Although it only involves cultivating one organ, the heart is the foundation of life and the most important of the five organs. Successfully cultivating the heart will greatly enhance the entire body.

No wonder the Heavenly Dragon Heart-Protecting Pill is revered in the martial arts world as a sacred medicine for body refining and a divine medicine for healing injuries; it truly is that miraculous.

I wonder which renowned pharmacologist created this elixir; I am far inferior to them.

"Just because you're not as good as others now doesn't mean you'll always be. Dad, you have to believe in yourself."

Lu Wubing was pleased and answered casually.

After saying that, he paused for a moment, thinking that he might have been infected by Senior Sister Shen Xinzhu and become a master of praise.

The praise was so exquisite, it was like a deer's horns hanging in the air, leaving no trace.

And you know what? It actually works really well.

The old man was clearly pleased, his smile stretching from ear to ear, yet he humbly said, "I'm still far from good enough, far from good enough, but there's plenty of time in the future, and I won't belittle myself."

His mind was brimming with inspiration, and he couldn't care less about observing the effects of Lu Wubing's medication. He hurriedly went to his study, took out his notebook, and jotted it down.

Lu Wubing, however, tirelessly resumed practicing his swordsmanship.

With increased strength, the flow of qi and blood becomes more fluid, making sword strikes more powerful.

In fact, when practicing swordsmanship, I can hold the position for longer.

Although injuries to muscles and bones and swelling and pain in the meridians are still unavoidable.

Things are much better now.

"Although my rapier has reached perfection, it has not truly unleashed the power that perfect swordsmanship should have."

While physical strength has its limitations, the weakest link is internal energy… Mental willpower is currently sufficient, largely thanks to the Yuanling Sword Technique.

After careful consideration, Lu Wubing realized that besides working hard to improve his swordsmanship, the most important thing he should do was to make up for his weaknesses.

The weakness is so severe that it's seriously holding us back.

The first step is to make your physical body strong enough to withstand sword strikes without taking damage.

I feel like a child wielding a sledgehammer these days; the more force I use, the harder it is for my body to keep going... I hurt myself before I can even harm the enemy.

Secondly, it is necessary to accelerate the cultivation of internal energy.

Having strong internal energy not only greatly increases the power of swordsmanship, but also strengthens the physical body, reducing the burden on it.

This is actually a collaborative process.

Indispensable.

The same applies to lightness techniques.

Without opening up certain acupoints in the waist and legs, there is always a limit to the progress of light-body skills.

No matter how skillful you are in using your techniques, you may not be able to match someone else's strength in throwing bricks.

"Even top-tier software requires hardware support."

A flood of insights washed over Lu Wubing, and he understood how to plan his training for the future.

In an instant, he cast aside all distracting thoughts and began to firmly cultivate the [White Rainbow Piercing the Sun] technique anew.

With each strike, I gained new insights; with each strike, I could feel my own courage and progress.

If you can improve yourself one day, improve yourself every day, and keep improving yourself...

I grow stronger every day, and my heart is filled with immense satisfaction.

Lu Wubing felt that it wouldn't be long before he could completely get out of this predicament fraught with danger.

With a sword in hand, I can awe all around me...

Only in this way can one choose the life they want to live. And only then can they see what the pinnacle of martial arts truly looks like.
……

Midday on the moon.

A single lamp flickered dimly in the west wing bedroom.

After a long and arduous period of cultivation from morning till night, even with his formidable mental strength, Lu Wubing felt slightly fatigued.

The main reason is that when practicing the "Dripping Water Force," the movement of internal energy consumes too much of one's spirit.

His mind and body were exhausted, but his heart was not.

I know that it is in the stillness of the night that one can best see one's true self and understand the ingenuity of things...

The more he was pushed to the limit, the less he wanted to rest.

Just staring at the printed image of the character "形" on the booklet, my vision blurred.

"Where is the third arm? Wait, I think I'm starting to see something."

On the page, the character "形" (shape) appears as a shadowy figure, its image blurred under the flickering lamplight.

It scattered into a dim, yellowish hue.

It's as if an arc of light is spread around the figure.

Before he could figure out exactly what this inspiration represented, he faintly heard a "meow" and smelled a faint fragrance of osmanthus.

He turned around abruptly and saw the kitten, who was sleeping soundly on the pillow of the bed, now arching its back, poised to pounce.

The cat's mouth parted slightly, its wide eyes gleaming with green light, reflecting two figures.

"The fragrance of osmanthus? It's only March, where would osmanthus come from?"

Between the lightning and flint.

Lu Wubing had already realized what was happening.

At the same time, he also knew what the two figures in the cat's eye were all about.

The moon hung high in the sky, and a person floated lightly through the air, drifting over like a ghost. The fine wisp of air caught on the booklet on the desk.

With a whoosh, it turned into wisps of smoke and flew backward.

"What a courage."

Lu Wubing was furious, and the anger in his heart was no small matter.

Yet his mind remained as calm as ice and snow.

He reached out and placed his hand on the hilt of the sword beside him.

"boom……"

A clap of thunder sounded inside the house.

The sword light transformed into lightning, scattering into a hazy mist of light, and pierced the chest of the black-clad figure.

"what……"

The gaunt middle-aged man, who had been leaping into the air with a smug smile on his face, suddenly changed his expression as soon as he grabbed the booklet.

His movements were indeed as if he were floating in mid-air, extremely light and swift.

But it seemed he could never outrun that lightning-fast sword strike.

The sword flashed and was already three inches from his chest.

The force of the energy shattered the void, causing ripples to spread through the air.

"puff……"

The man in black gripped the book in his right hand and held a thin, curved hook in his left... Even though his hands were still, ripples appeared on his chest for no apparent reason.

It was as if an invisible hand had appeared, pressing the rapidly approaching sword light to the side and downwards.

At the same time, he swallowed a mouthful of air into his chest and abdomen, and somehow managed to gain momentum again, his body soaring into the sky like a bird flapping its wings, suddenly accelerating and breaking free.

What method is this?
Lu Wubing didn't understand.

But he doesn't need to understand it.

His first strike failed, and he felt as if the sword in his hand had pierced through a thousand layers of cowhide, extremely tough yet soft... He slightly turned his wrist, slightly withdrew his sword strike, touched the ground with his feet, and stepped outside.

Before the thought even stirred, the sword flashed again, and the man followed the sword.

It's faster than the human body can consciously react.

boom……

A flash of light, and a sword pierced the leg of the suddenly flying shadow.

Blood splattered everywhere.

The man in black let out a suppressed scream.

Its body swayed slightly, lightly touched the Lu family's wall, and then soared into the air again with a whoosh.

"Chase."

Lu Wubing remained calm, shook the blood off his sword, and took several quick steps to leap over the wall.

Before it even landed, a gentle breeze swept past its side, and the cat had already disappeared into the darkness, vanishing from sight.

……

Asking for a monthly ticket.
