I Don't Know Martial Art Chapter 202

Chapter 202 - Self-help

Ever since Luo He had regained her ident.i.ty as the woman Luo Ning, Xiang Yun's originally arduous journey suddenly became even more arduous.

In the past when they had travelled carrying the Blue Profound Sword, although it had been painful, Xiang Yun had been able to jest and chat with Luo He.

But now, although this beautiful and unsightly Miss Luo Ning was a beauty worth eating, her personality was as cold as ice.

The latter was completely gone. Back then, Luo He's amiable and amiable appearance had been replaced with a cold expression all day long. It was as though her status and temperament had changed along with her.

Along the way, the two had only spoken once in the tree. Afterwards, they basically didn't talk at all. At most, it was early in the morning when Luo He carried her sword case on her back and said 'go' and only one word.

Sometimes, on the way back, Xiang Yun would feel so stifled that he would turn his head, wanting to say something to Luo Ning.

However, the latter's cold, sharp gaze was like a blade, clearly marked with the words' do not approach anyone. 'Xiang Yun could only push the words to his lips and swallow them back down his throat.

Gradually, Xiang Yun began to get used to it. Since there was no longer any need to communicate, he focused even more on his cultivation.

After these past few days of training, he had become more and more accustomed to the weight of the Blue Profound Sword. Even though his movements had still been greatly hindered, his speed had clearly become much faster than it had been at the start.

And with this kind of cultivation method, every time Xiang Yun removed the Blue Profound Sword on his back, he would clearly discover it.

His own cloud energy circulation speed and his body's toughness had both improved a lot. The circulation of his energy and his own aura had become one.

This kind of obvious improvement in strength caused Xiang Yun, who was exhausted every day, to feel a strong motivation, and this caused him to value the Blue Profound Sword even more.

To have such a G.o.dly weapon in his possession, he knew that it definitely wasn't an ordinary weapon. Naturally, he couldn't forget the favor Luo He had shown him when she presented it to him.

Therefore, other than cultivating on a daily basis, he would take over Xiang Yun's responsibilities with exceptional diligence every time he searched for and cleaned a place to rest, lit a fire and cooked.

Even though Luo He was still very indifferent towards this matter, as if she hadn't noticed it at all, Xiang Yun still chose to do it.

It was not that he was going to use these small favors to repay something. Rather, he was going to be kind to a person who was kind to him. This was most likely the world's greatest kindness.

During the rest of their journey, Xiang Yun continued to adapt to the Blue Profound Sword on his back every day as he quietly circulated his cloud energy. With the suppression of the Blue Profound Sword, he worked hard to control the energy coursing through his entire body.

Along the way, the flow wasn't smooth sailing, and they would occasionally run into some Cloud Beasts, but it was still Xiang Yun's turn to deal with them.

Right now, his power was increasing day by day, and his sword-arts were becoming increasingly profound. Ordinary cloud beasts would naturally be unable to do anything to him.

That day in particular, the advice Luo He had given to him when he fought with the entire mountain full of wild beasts had enlightened Xiang Yun.

In his battle with the Cloud Beast in the future, even if it were a low level Cloud Beast, Xiang Yun would not rely solely on his own strength to forcefully suppress it.

Instead, he swiftly found the latter's weakness and used his own strength to break the surface, instantly defeating the latter.

In the end, the amount of Yun Li's energy consumed was far less than what was used for a head-on clash. It could even be said to be four taels of silver!

After using the Wandering Dragon Sword to kill or repel those Cloud Beasts several times, Xiang Yun was not satisfied.

He had always had this thought in his mind, and that was, when would he be able to use the Blue Profound Sword on his back to face the enemy head on?

Every time he met an enemy, he would hurriedly use his storage ring to store the Blue Profound sword on his back, and then use the Wandering Dragon Sword to attack.

Xiang Yun had once secretly tried brandis.h.i.+ng the Blue Profound Sword, but the result of that was a sword slas.h.i.+ng out with all of his strength. The Blue Profound Sword spun in the air and fell back to its original position.

As for Xiang Yun, he was carried by the sword hilt and was sent flying. He flew headfirst into a large tree, landing on the ground in a sorry state.

After that attempt, Xiang Yun felt a deep sense of shame. He had actually been sent flying by that sword. If this were to spread out, wouldn't it make him laugh?

Therefore, every night, after having eaten dinner, Xiang Yun would give himself another two hours of training before cultivating. It was to grasp the hilt of the Blue Profound Sword with both hands and lift the greatsword high above his head!

Of course, this was not some m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.tic act. It was that Xiang Yun wanted to use his arms to get used to the weight of the Blue Profound Sword. It was also good that he wanted to try and use it in battle in the future.

However, the weight of the Azure Profound Sword was simply too frightening. Xiang Yun had frequently trained it to the point where his hands spasmed, his arms swollen to the point where they were completely red.

However, Xiang Yun did not mind it at all. On the contrary, he was happy not to give it up.

Even if his arms were severely injured, after a night of cultivation, with the help of the Art of Creation and the Turtle Rest Technique, he would definitely be able to recover from his injuries by the next day.

And then, he discovered that the weight of the Blue Profound Sword in his own hand, seemed to not be as heavy as yesterday!

In the end, Xiang Yun was even able to wield the Blue Profound Sword and perform some hacking movements. Although his body was a little shaky and it was clearly difficult to control, he had already made great progress.

In the past few days, Luo Ning, who had been travelling alongside Xiang Yun, appeared like a stranger. Although she was taciturn, she had seen all of this and nodded inwardly to herself.

In these past few days, the reason why he had not paid any attention to Xiang Yun was not only because he still had a layer of resentment towards the latter. Luo He had another deep meaning, and that was to make the latter walk his own path.

As the saying goes, 'Master Fu will lead the way to the sect, and practice will depend on one person'. There was a saying that 'a famous teacher will produce great disciples' under the heavens, but it was rare to hear of an example where 'one wins from the blue'.

Most of the gifted geniuses had been carefully nurtured by the sects, protected and guided by their sect elders. A group of sect elders protected them as they advanced with each step.

Geniuses like them would naturally take fewer detours, and in fact, they would even rise rapidly in cultivation as they laughed at their peers.

However, Luo He was very clear that geniuses like them were often the weakest and most lacking in potential. This was because they lacked a type of individual that could advance on their own.

In the darkness and hards.h.i.+p, walking alone, seemingly slow and difficult, but in this process, the state of mind was tempered, the will was tempered, and unknowingly, the heart was tempered!

Perhaps, in such a short period of time, this might not seem like much of a use to her. However, with Luo Ning's knowledge, she naturally knew.

If one did not have this tenacious and indomitable heart when climbing those lofty landscapes, it would be difficult to support martial artists to take that critical step when one ascended into the heavens in the future.

At this point, those geniuses who had advanced so arrogantly would easily have their hearts shattered by setbacks and inner demons. They would fall from their divine altars and have no hope of surviving for the rest of their lives.

Seeing Xiang Yun's perseverance, Luo Ning naturally felt comforted in her heart. Although the latter's talent was not very good, if he could have such a state of mind and achieve such results in the future, he might break her expectations and go even further.

Of course, that was only a little. While talent wasn't important, Xiang Yun's talent was just too poor.

It was already the twelfth day of their journey. They were about to leave the center of the Sunset Forest and enter the outskirts completely.

In the dense forest southeast of Sunset Forest, Xiang Yun, who carried a greatsword on his back, and Luo Ning, who had already recovered her virginity, were actually running at full speed, one in front of the other!

Looking at Xiang Yun, who carried a greatsword on his back and made a deep pit in the ground with each step, yet was extremely fast and nimble, Luo Ning actually had a rare smile on her face. Of course, Xiang Yun had not seen him.

Xiang Yun had gone through these past few days of self-torturing training. He was actually able to carry the Blue Profound Sword on his back and run at a very fast speed!

At this moment, with every step Xiang Yun took, the ground beneath his feet would tremble slightly, leaving behind an inch deep footprint.

Every time a step fell, the weight of both the sword and scabbard would press down on Xiang Yun, causing him to exhale a breath of white air. After running a thousand steps, the latter would spit out a breath of white air.

If he stayed still for a second or two, he would be able to run again!

So it turned out that Xiang Yun had actually discovered it as he had been carrying the Blue Profound Sword to hone his skills.

If he were to circulate the Turtle Breathing Technique, with the characteristics of continuous breathing and the activation of the energy within his body, he would actually be able to cause the blood in his body to surge as he carried the Blue Profound Sword on his back and galloped forward.

And this method not only allowed his aura to grow even longer, but it also allowed him to temper his body, as well as compress and refine the cloud energy.

Throughout this entire journey, Xiang Yun's cloud energy had increased rapidly and his body had grown stronger. This was the best proof of this!

When Xiang Yun had run a thousand steps further, he suddenly halted his steps, took a deep breath, his belly bulged before opening his mouth towards the sky, spitting out an arrow of air transformed from mist.

The Qi arrow charged forth, and the s.p.a.ce two meters in front of Xiang Yun finally turned into nothingness!

The latter spat out an arrow and immediately raised it to run again!

All of a sudden, just as Xiang Yun was about to take another step, he suddenly sensed something on the left side of the ground in front of him.

After this period of tempering, Xiang Yun's perception of danger had become increasingly acute, and the latter reacted almost instantly.

He circled under his feet and suddenly turned his body. He pointed the broad azure profound sword at the protrusion with his back!

In the next instant!

"BOOM!"

Along with the low and heavy sound produced by the Blue Profound Sword, the sword seemed to have been struck by some solid object, as it heavily clashed against each other.

Xiang Yun immediately heard a sharp 'ji' sound, as if something had been deflected away by the greatsword!

Taking advantage of this moment, Xiang Yun had already escaped from the scabbard on his body. He suddenly turned around and grabbed the hilt of the Blue Profound Sword within the scabbard. Exerting force from his arm, he fiercely lifted it upwards!

"Buzz!"

The great sword was unsheathed, but it did not emit a sharp clanging sound. Instead, it emitted a droning sound with an astonis.h.i.+ng momentum!

Xiang Yun suddenly raised his Blue Profound Sword high, his gaze directed straight ahead. The latter looked down and discovered that the ground was actually snow-white, without any abnormalities.

But in the next moment, his eyes swept across the ground. Suddenly, he saw two dark green dots of light about two feet away in the snow. They rotated like two emeralds!

He seemed to have sensed Xiang Yun's attention!

"Ji!"

In the next moment, there was a sharp whistle as the two jade green gems shot toward Xiang Yun along with a snow-white body!

This was a snow-white Cloud Beast with four limbs, a long tail, and a mouth as sharp as a sword!

The latter's entire body was covered in dense scales that emitted a dazzling white light. It had a pair of dark green beady eyes, and its body was the size of a hound.

This Cloud Beast was somewhat similar to the Pangolin that Xiang Yun had seen in his previous life. However, its body was larger and its color was snow-white.

Xiang Yun was no stranger to this beast. It was just that upon seeing it, he would immediately remember the records of this beast that were recorded down in the books.

This was a 'Snow Region Drilling Earth Beast', a Seven Cloud Beast. Its body was extremely tough, and it was good at attacking its prey from underground. The latter relied on its sharp and long kiss to easily pierce through its prey.

"Hmph, sneak attack me, you're courting death!"

Xiang Yun snorted coldly as he stared at the charging Snow Region Drill. He suddenly activated the Hundred Transformations Steps under his feet as his body moved like lightning. He had actually dodged the Cloud Beast's sudden attack!

At the same time, the latter also threw a backhand punch, striking the back of the Earth Drilling Beast that pa.s.sed him like lightning. With a 'boom' sound, Xiang Yun's punch sent the Xue Yu's Earth Drilling Beast cras.h.i.+ng into the ground beneath his feet!

However …

Although the Xue Yu drilled into the ground with a scream, its body instantly trembled. A pair of sharp front claws quickly dug into the ground. In the blink of an eye, it had already drilled into the ground and disappeared. It seemed to have fled far away.

Regarding this, Xiang Yun laughed coldly in his heart. He focused all his attention on the ground beneath his feet as he listened for the faint sounds coming from somewhere underground.

After a while, Xiang Yun's ears suddenly p.r.i.c.ked up as the latter suddenly raised the Blue Profound Sword in front of him and pointed it straight at him.

At the same time, Xiang Yun crossed his legs, both arms suddenly exerting power, his posture like a baseball player in his previous life, gathering his strength and preparing to hit the ball!

"Hu!"

As the strong wind whistled, the enormous sword of the Blue Profound Sword suddenly swept out. A black figure streaked through the air like a bolt of lightning, and suddenly swept towards the empty s.p.a.ce behind Xiang Yun!
