High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

The shadowy figure carrying Lin Mengyao quickly landed inside the Holy Venerable's Mansion.

Lin Mengyao dismounted from Youying's back and curiously looked around at the luxurious mansion.

The pavilions, towers, bridges, and flowing water were filled with such rich spiritual energy that they almost turned into mist. It was several times larger and more exquisite than her Lin family mansion.

"As expected of Chief Chen's residence..."

She was secretly amazed.

Chen Tianling led her through the corridor to the garden behind the main hall.

Chen Yuan was sitting in the pavilion, leisurely drinking tea.

Upon seeing the person arrive, he put down his teacup and nodded slightly.

Chen Tianling stepped forward and bowed.

"Boss, the person has been brought."

Chen Yuan nodded.

Chen Tianling tactfully withdrew.

Lin Mengyao quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, Chief Judge Chen!"

Chen Yuan waved his hand.

"No need to be so polite, please sit down." He gestured to the stone bench opposite him.

Lin Mengyao sat down obediently, placing her hands on her knees, her posture as upright as a primary school student.

Chen Yuan couldn't help but smile when he saw her like this.

"Miss Lin, you will be staying here with me for the next two weeks. The room has been prepared, and I will have Butler Zhao show you around in a bit."

Lin Mengyao nodded quickly.

"Okay, thank you for your help, Chief Chen."

Chen Yuan continued:

"Are you ready? If so, let's begin now."

Lin Mengyao took a deep breath.

"Ready!"

Chen Yuan nodded.

With a thought, he used the "Close Encounters" technique, and the two of them vanished from the pavilion in an instant.

next moment.

They were already in a spacious training room.

The training room covers several hundred square meters, with the floor paved with specially made lapis lazuli and the surrounding walls engraved with reinforcement formations.

All kinds of training equipment are available.

Lin Mengyao felt a blur before her eyes, and the scenery around her completely changed.

She froze for a moment.

He immediately realized what was happening and his eyes were filled with surprise.

"Chief Chen, what... what kind of method is this?!"

Chen Yuan said calmly:

"It's just a movement technique, nothing to mention."

Not worth mentioning?

Lin Mengyao was shocked.

That's not some kind of movement technique, that's practically teleportation!

But she quickly composed herself and looked at Chen Yuan intently.

Chen Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over her.

"Over the next two weeks, I will provide systematic guidance regarding your issues."

"You cultivate water-attribute techniques, and your swordsmanship follows an agile approach. However, your problem lies in being too fixated on the moves and lacking an understanding of the essence."

"Swordsmanship is divided into three levels: The first level is having a sword in your hand and a sword in your heart. The second level is having no sword in your hand but a sword in your heart. The third level is having neither a sword in your hand nor a sword in your heart."

"You're barely at the peak of the first level now; you're still a ways from the second level."

Lin Mengyao listened attentively, her eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge.

Chen Yuan continued:

"I won't teach you any new moves for the next two weeks. I'll only teach you one thing: how to make the sword move according to your will."

"Once you truly grasp this point, your swordsmanship will naturally reach a higher level."

Lin Mengyao nodded vigorously.

"I understand! Thank you for your guidance, Director Chen!"

Chen Yuan waved his hand.

"Let's begin."

......

For the next two weeks, Lin Mengyao completely entered "devil training" mode.

He gets up before dawn every day and practices his sword thousands of times in the training room.

In the morning, I received individual guidance from Chen Yuan; in the afternoon, I practiced on my own; and in the evening, I reviewed and summarized my experiences.

Chen Yuan's guidance was very detailed.

Instead of simply telling her "what's wrong with you," let her feel and understand for herself.

Where was your heart when you thrust that sword out?

"The sword is your extension, not your tool. You must become one with it, not use it as a weapon."

"Imagine your spiritual power is water, and the sword is a fish in the water. The fish swims in the water, the water propels the fish, and the fish also moves the water."

"This is the true essence of water-attribute techniques..."

Every word she spoke was like a revelation to Lin Mengyao.

And her progress is also clearly visible.

On the first day, his swordsmanship became even more agile.

On the third day, I could already vaguely feel the sensation of "the sword moving with my heart".

On the seventh day, her swordsmanship gained an indescribable charm, as if it had come alive.

On the tenth day, she successfully broke through her bottleneck, mastered the sword techniques she had learned, and formed a unique sword style of her own.

Chen Yuan saw this and nodded inwardly.

This girl is indeed talented and quick to understand; no wonder she reached the peak of the Grandmaster level in her sophomore year.

As Lin Mengyao made progress, Chen Yuan's system notifications sounded again and again.

Day .

[Ding! Significant progress has been made in the host's instruction, triggering hidden achievement: Meticulous Guidance II!]

[Bonus Reward: Saint-grade Spirit Gathering Orb Fragment x1!]

Day 9.

[Ding! Significant progress has been made in the host's instruction, triggering hidden achievement: Meticulous Guidance III!]

[Bonus Reward: Saint-grade Spirit Gathering Orb Fragment x1!]

The thirteenth day.

[Ding! Significant progress has been made in the host's instruction, triggering hidden achievement: Meticulous Guidance IV!]

[Bonus Reward: Saint-grade Spirit Gathering Orb Fragment x1!]

Every time Chen Yuan received a notification, a smile would appear on her face.

One more is needed.

almost.

......

Time flew by, and the fourteenth day arrived.

Tomorrow is the official start of the Great Xia Martial Arts League.

noon.

Lin Mengyao is practicing swordsmanship alone in the training room.

The sword flashed like a rainbow, and the figure moved like a swallow.

After finishing a set of sword techniques, she sheathed her sword and stood up, her forehead slightly damp with sweat, but her eyes were full of spirit.

In the past two weeks, she felt like she had been reborn. Not only had her swordsmanship improved, but her understanding of martial arts techniques had also deepened!

Although his cultivation level is still at the peak of Grandmaster, his combat power has at least doubled!

And this moment.

As Chen Yuan sat in the pavilion drinking tea, a familiar mechanical voice echoed in his mind.

[Ding! Detected that the host has a penchant for teaching and has made significant progress in guiding martial arts prodigies, triggering hidden achievement: Meticulous Guidance Five!]

[Bonus Reward: Saint-grade Spirit Gathering Orb Fragment x1!]

[“The system has detected that the host has collected five Spirit Gathering Bead fragments. Do you wish to collect and fuse them immediately?”]

Upon hearing this voice, Chen Yuan couldn't help but smile.

"Finally, we have them all."

A thought suddenly occurred to him.

"Claim Fusion!"

hum...

Five fragments flew out of his storage space and hovered in front of him.

The crystal-clear fragments emitted a faint fluorescent glow, and looked like works of art in the sunlight.

next moment.

The five fragments began to slowly approach.

They attract and merge with each other, their light growing brighter and brighter!

After a few breaths.

A complete crystal ball appeared in Chen Yuan's hand.

The crystal ball was about the size of an egg, crystal clear, and inside it seemed as if a galaxy was flowing.

Holding it in your hand, you can clearly feel a warm energy slowly flowing into your body, nourishing your meridians and flesh.

[Ding! The Saint-grade Supreme Spirit Gathering Pearl has successfully fused and automatically recognized its master!]

[Effect of wearing: Increases cultivation speed by 30%, with better effects in areas with denser spiritual energy.]

Chen Yuan played with the Spirit Gathering Pearl in his hand and nodded in satisfaction.

A 30% increase in cultivation speed.

If this were given to martial artists who were stuck in a bottleneck period, it would be an absolute treasure they would dream of.

Although we don't need it for the time being, it's still a valuable treasure.

He casually hung the Spirit Gathering Pearl on his waist as an ornament.

The sunlight shines on it, refracting a faint rainbow of colors, which is quite beautiful.

......

Chen Yuan stood up.

He flashed into the training room in an instant.

Lin Mengyao was resting to the side when she saw Chen Yuan and immediately stood up.

"Teacher Chen!"

In the past two weeks, the two have become much more familiar with each other, and the way they address each other has changed from "Director Chen" to "Teacher Chen".

Chen Yuan was taken aback when he first heard this title.

Teacher Chen? He actually became a teacher one day?

But you get used to it after a while.

He looked at Lin Mengyao with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes: "You've made great progress in the past two weeks."

Lin Mengyao blushed slightly, but her eyes were full of joy.

"It's all thanks to Teacher Chen's excellent teaching!"

Chen Yuan waved his hand.

Your own efforts are also very important.

He paused for a moment and continued, "Tomorrow is the Martial Arts League. You've learned enough, so you can go back today, get some rest, and prepare for tomorrow's match."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mengyao felt both anticipation and reluctance.

The expectation is that we can finally showcase the results of the past two weeks on the field.

What I'm sad to say is that these past two weeks of seeing Chen Yuan every day are coming to an end.

and......

She glanced at Chen Yuan discreetly.

Over the past two weeks, she could feel that Chen Yuan had put a lot of effort into guiding her, but that was all he did.

It seems... there was no such intention.

She felt a little disappointed at this thought, but she quickly cheered herself up.

"Yes! Don't worry, Teacher Chen, I will definitely do my best!"

Chen Yuan nodded.

"Go ahead. Let Tianling and Youying escort you."

......

After a while.

The shadowy figure carried Lin Mengyao into the air.

Chen Tianling remained standing to the side, expressionless.

Standing on the back of the shadow, Lin Mengyao looked back at the increasingly distant Holy Venerable Mansion and secretly made a vow in her heart.

We must win first place in this league!

Let Teacher Chen see that his guidance was not in vain!

......

Luoyang University of Technology.

The shadowy figure descended upon the campus once more, but having experienced it before, the students were no longer surprised this time.

But many people still looked up at them, their eyes filled with envy.

Lin Mengyao dismounted from Youying's back, said goodbye to Chen Tianling, and quickly walked towards the training ground.

Su Wanqing, who had already received the news, was waiting there.

His eyes lit up when he saw Lin Mengyao.

"Mengyao! You're back!"

She looked Lin Mengyao up and down, her eyes filled with amazement.

"Let me see... this aura, this presence... my god, what have you been through these past two weeks?!"

Lin Mengyao smiled.

"Teacher, Director Chen has been guiding me for half a month."

Su Wanqing gasped. Could a person be completely transformed in just half a month?

This is terrifying!

She couldn't help but ask, "How's your strength now?"

Lin Mengyao thought for a moment.

"If I go all out... I have no rivals in my second year of university."

Su Wanqing was stunned.

No rivals?

She wouldn't have believed it if someone else had said it, but she believed it when it came from Lin Mengyao, because she believed in her disciple's strength and the abilities of Chen Yuan, the strongest person on Blue Star!

"Great! That's wonderful!"

Su Wanqing patted her shoulder excitedly: "The league starts tomorrow, get some rest."

Lin Mengyao nodded vigorously.

......

Go back to dorms.

This is a clean and tidy double room with complete facilities.

Lin Mengyao's roommate, a cute girl with a round face, is lying on her bed playing with a communication ring.

She immediately sat up when she saw Lin Mengyao return.

"Mengyao! You're finally back!"

She stared at Lin Mengyao with wide eyes.

"My God, you seem like a completely different person! What have you been through in the past two weeks?"

My roommate came over, her face full of envy.

"Let me see how strong you are now! Can you kill me in an instant?"

Lin Mengyao smiled and pushed her away.

"Stop messing around, the competition is tomorrow, let me rest for a while."

As the two were talking, there was a knock on the door.

"Is Lin Mengyao here?"

Lin Mengyao opened the door, and a female teacher, the grade head, was standing outside.

"Lin Mengyao, Principal Fang wants to see you in his office."

Lin Mengyao nodded and followed the female teacher to the principal's office.

Vincent Fang was sitting behind his desk.

Upon seeing Lin Mengyao, his eyes lit up, and a kind smile appeared on his lips as he greeted her warmly.

"Mengyao's here! Please have a seat!"

Lin Mengyao sat down, somewhat puzzled.

"Principal, did you need something from me?"

Fang Wenshan smiled and nodded.

"Here's the thing, for tomorrow's second-year team competition in the league, I'd like you to be the captain."

Lin Mengyao was taken aback.

team leader?

Although she was quite strong, she wasn't the strongest before her sophomore year.

Several classmates had higher cultivation levels and more practical experience than her, so logically, the position of captain should not have fallen to her.

Fang Wenshan noticed her confusion and smiled:

"I know what you're thinking. But you need to understand that cultivation level is not the same as strength."

"You've been personally instructed by Director Chen for half a month, and you know your current level best. I believe you are absolutely qualified to be the team leader now."

Lin Mengyao fell silent.

She is indeed confident.

She knows best how much progress she's made in the past two weeks.

She was confident she could take on any student, let alone second-year students, or even upperclassmen.

"Okay, I agree."

She nodded.

Fang Wenshan's smile widened.

"Alright! It's settled then. You'll lead the team in tomorrow's team competition, let the other schools see the strength of Luodu Martial Arts University!"

Lin Mengyao stood up and nodded solemnly.

"Don't worry, Principal, I will do my best!"

As she stepped out of the office, she looked up towards the direction of Longyuan Mountain.

Teacher Chen, you'll come to see me tomorrow, right?
