Chapter 93: Chapter 92: The Running Technique and Firewood Splitting Saber Technique Break the Limit Again, New Traits

’Gather the strongest forces, strike with the greatest speed, and eliminate the Blood Saber Sect Leader and the remaining Hall Masters...’

’Then the Blood Saber Sect will simply crumble.’

’The opening move and the key to this battle will undoubtedly be a fight to the death among the Mortal Transformation experts.’

’The ordinary disciples might not even get a chance to participate.’

’But these martial world sects and Noble Families are all cunning strategists. Who would be willing to be the "Pioneer Scout"?’

’Whoever strikes first has no guarantee they won’t be ambushed by the other powers from behind.’

’The two major sects and the Four Great Clans all want to absorb the Blood Saber Sect, but none are willing to let the others reap the rewards of their efforts...’

’So, things might actually be deceptively calm for a while!’

Chu Fan analyzed the situation in Cyan Yang Ancient City, recalling the pier outside North City controlled by the Blood Saber Sect, as well as the Medicinal Herb Garden on the Black Water Riverbank.

The pier was a place he had to visit daily in his memories as a fisherman.

The Medicinal Herb Garden on the Black Water Riverbank was a place he had discovered by accident while fishing.

Both of these locations were under the Blood Saber Sect’s control.

’Now that the Government Office is hunting Demon Fiends in the city, the entire Blood Saber Sect is in a panic...’

’I should start with that pier and the Medicinal Herb Garden. I’ll make a huge profit at their expense first!’

’I need to work even harder for the next few days...’

’First, I’ll break the limits of a few of my Martial Arts, then break through to the Bone Marrow Forging Realm!’

’Once my strength has increased dramatically, it will be the right time to execute my plan.’

Chu Fan reined in his thoughts, concentrating on circulating his Qi Blood and absorbing the medicinal potency to continue his "Bone Marrow Forging"...

Only after all the medicinal potency was absorbed did he rise from the wooden tub.

After getting dressed, Chu Fan strode into the courtyard.

A pile of round logs and dry firewood was stacked in the corner of the courtyard.

Chu Fan walked over, raised his Firewood Splitter, and brought it down in a single chop...

CRACK!

A log split in two.

[Firewood Splitting Saber Technique Experience Points +2]

The sound of splitting wood echoed endlessly...

「An incense stick’s time later.」

Chu Fan brought his saber down one last time...

[Firewood Splitting Saber Technique Experience Points +5]

["Firewood Splitting Saber Technique" has reached its limit. You can spend 100 Spiritual Essence Points to break the limit. Consume?]

Chu Fan felt his heart suddenly quicken, and with a mere thought,

The Spiritual Essence Points on his panel instantly decreased by a hundred.

A force like an electric current shot through his entire body.

[Skill: Firewood Splitting Saber Technique (Third Limit Break 0/10000) (Traits: Sword Swift as Wind, Sword Heavy as a Mountain, Sword Swift as Lightning)]

[Sword Swift as Lightning: Surpasses "Sword Swift as Wind," an ultimate sublimation of speed. This represents not only another quantum leap in strike speed, but also in the speed of changing moves and shifting Force. When practicing any Sword Technique, the transitions between moves will be completely seamless, flowing like an electric current. The blade follows the will, and your sword speed is doubled.]

Chu Fan gazed at the information in his mind, silently sensing the changes in his body and the qualitative transformation of his "Firewood Splitting Saber Technique."

A moment later, he lightly tapped one end of a log on the ground with his left foot.

WHOOSH!

The log flew into the air.

SWISH!

Chu Fan swung his Firewood Splitter, executing three lightning-fast chops, before holding the long saber horizontally...

THWACK! THWACK! THWACK! THWACK!

Four sections of the log landed perfectly on the flat of the long saber’s blade!

’So this is "Sword Swift as Lightning"...’

A sharp glint flashed in Chu Fan’s eyes.

When he first broke the limit and gained the "Sword Swift as Wind" Trait, he’d guessed that subsequent Limit Breaks might grant Traits for even greater sword speed.

Now, with the Third Limit Break, he had indeed obtained "Sword Swift as Lightning"!

This Trait didn’t just make his sword speed faster; it made the transitions between his moves completely seamless, flowing like an electric current. The blade followed his will!

This Limit Break had directly elevated his "Ninefold Thunder Shock Saber" and "Nine Blood Soul Blades" to a whole new level!

However, the further he progressed, the more massive the required Experience Points became.

The Spiritual Essence cost had also increased from fifty points to one hundred.

Although he could continue breaking its limits, Chu Fan felt he was close to wringing the "Firewood Splitting Saber Technique" dry.

With his vigorous Qi Blood and resilient physique, he wouldn’t feel tired even if he chopped wood for an entire day.

But the more Experience Points the subsequent Limit Breaks required, the more time they would consume.

Comparatively, it might be better to train his other Sword Techniques to the Perfection Realm and then break their limits instead.

However, the Trait from this Third Limit Break was so much better than the first two that it filled him with anticipation for a Fourth Limit Break.

Just as Chu Fan was wrestling with this conflict...

TAP!

Footsteps sounded from behind him.

Zhao Tianxing walked over.

He looked at the Firewood Splitter in Chu Fan’s hand and sighed. "I heard from Master Cao that you practice your saber by splitting firewood. I tried it for a few days myself, but unfortunately, I got nothing out of it."

"I really have no idea how you managed to train your Firewood Splitting Saber Technique..."

"Everyone has their own path of cultivation," Chu Fan said with a light laugh. "Hasn’t Master Cao told us before? Some people practice their Sword Techniques by slicing tofu, some by trying to split a waterfall, and others comprehend a Sword Technique after chopping wood for years..."

Zhao Tianxing smiled and shook his head. "I think I’ll just stick to honestly practicing the ’Ninefold Thunder Shock Saber.’ If you asked me to chop firewood or slice tofu for ten years, I don’t think I could do it."

With that, he took up his saber, walked to the other side of the courtyard, and focused on his practice.

Chu Fan, on the other hand, put down his Firewood Splitter and walked out of the courtyard.

[Skill: Running Technique (First Limit Break 2920/3000) (Trait: Wind under the Feet)]

’Eighty Experience Points. It won’t take long.’

’If I hadn’t been training so hard on other things lately, I would have broken the limit yesterday.’

...

WHOOSH!

WHOOSH!

The spring wind was as sharp as a blade.

But Chu Fan paid it no mind, running lap after lap around the Martial Arts Arena.

Ever since he started practicing the "Running Technique," he had never once revealed his top speed at the Martial Arts Arena.

He was only jogging to increase his Experience Points for the "Running Technique."

Because of this, he was often ridiculed when he ran his laps in the past.

But ever since he had effortlessly defeated Ling Feng, registered for the Blood Nourishing Realm, and given Sun Zixuan of the Blood Refining Realm a sound thrashing...

...many more people had started jogging around the Martial Arts Arena.

They were all copying his example, running back and forth.

But no matter how much they practiced, they never figured out the trick to it.

Still, seeing a genius like Chu Fan persist, they all felt that this jogging must be greatly beneficial for cultivation. Thus, many of them insisted on running a dozen or so laps around the Martial Arts Arena every day.

[Running Technique Experience Points +1]

[Running Technique Experience Points +1]

Lap after lap, Chu Fan felt no fatigue. Instead, he felt as if he could just drift away on the wind.

When the final point was earned, Chu Fan let out a long breath and slowed his pace...

["Running Technique" has reached its limit. You can spend 50 Spiritual Essence Points to break the limit. Consume?]

’Spend fifty Spiritual Essence Points and break the limit!’

Chu Fan focused his will.

The Spiritual Essence Points on his panel trickled away as that strange sensation once again washed over his body.

At this moment, he truly felt as light as a feather...

[Skill: Running Technique (Second Limit Break 1/6000) (Traits: Wind under the Feet, Light as a Feather)]

[Light as a Feather: Your running method has reached the Transformation Realm. Your Qi Blood Power and physical body are in perfect harmony. Turbid qi gradually dissipates as pure qi is naturally generated. With a mere flicker of intent, Qi Blood Power will flow naturally, suffusing your entire frame and drastically reducing your body’s weight. Your control over your strength has reached the pinnacle.]

[When you leap, you are like a drifting willow catkin, landing without a sound. When you sprint, you are like a spring swallow skimming the water, your feet barely touching the ground before you’re gone. Not only is your stamina consumption for long-distance running drastically reduced, but you can also maneuver and pivot in the tightest of spaces with unpredictable agility. Your Body Technique is far more nimble than before, your speed is increased by another fifty percent, and your ability to adapt to complex terrain is vastly enhanced.]

Staring at the notifications that appeared in his mind...

Chu Fan felt an indescribable, intoxicating joy, as if he had just drunk the finest nectar!

The "Light as a Feather" Trait from this Second Limit Break had far exceeded his expectations!

Not only could he now "leap like a drifting willow catkin, landing without a sound," but his speed had also increased by another fifty percent!
