89: Qian Feng’s one and a half years of training!

Days passed, and Qian Feng cultivated within the secret area for a full year and a half.

He, who was only half a year away from adulthood, now looked somewhat weathered.

His long hair was scattered behind him, looking a bit messy from lack of care, and the stubble on his face added a touch of maturity and roughness.

As Qian Feng sat cross-legged, his tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and a burst of Golden Light spread outwards. Even loose stones on the ground were swept up and then fell back down.

"I did it! Ninety-six!"

He burst into laughter, stood up, and clapped in celebration. Don't even mention the bitter cultivation of the past year and a half; it was truly too boring! It was thanks to his ability to endure loneliness that his soul power was able to break through ninety-five and advance another level!

"Hmm, that's about right." The vast voice sounded again. Immediately after, strands of Golden Light once again gathered at Qian Feng's brow, condensing in front of him.

This time, it wasn't Thunder Lord who appeared, but the blurred sword body of the Zhi Ge Divine Sword floating in mid-air.

"The method to summon the Zhi Ge Sword has been passed to you. Also, the Zhi Ge Divine Sword has a total of six forms. Today, I will teach you the first two moves."

"Yes! Please teach me, Master!" Qian Feng's heart filled with joy. He squinted, looking at the long sword whose body glowed with Golden Lightning and was covered in strange patterns, and nodded.

"First form: Star Shift!" As the words fell, the Zhi Ge Divine Sword suddenly began to spin in mid-air. The surrounding Golden Lightning was spun into strands of Golden Lightning threads, which then scattered in all directions. There was nowhere to escape, neither in the sky nor on the ground.

Qian Feng stared intently, afraid of missing even the slightest detail of the operation. More than that, he was astonished that such a move existed?!

The vast voice in his mind continued to explain.

[Star Shift uses Golden Lightning to form threads covering the surroundings, which can imprison enemies in place, preventing them from moving! The golden threads also have the wondrous effect of harming enemies. Explore more uses on your own later.]

As Thunder Lord finished speaking, the Golden Lightning driven by the Zhi Ge Divine Sword transformed into countless golden threads, silently binding Qian Feng to the ground. By the time he reacted, the golden threads were already hidden within his robes.

With a faint rumble of thunder, Qian Feng felt dizzy. When he came to his senses, his robes had already been destroyed by the golden threads, and his naked body was fixed in place!

"Uh, Master, there was no need to demonstrate this, right?" Qian Feng shyly covered his important parts and pursed his lips as he looked at the Zhi Ge Divine Sword.

Thunder Lord didn't tease him, but instead controlled the Zhi Ge Divine Sword to demonstrate the second move.

"Second form: Ten Thousand Swords Come!"

The Zhi Ge Divine Sword swung in the air. Every thrust, horizontal slash, and vertical chop would leave behind a series of divine sword afterimages.

What followed was the most profound move, with the phrase "Arise"!

All the divine sword afterimages left in the air flew across the sky, truly a magnificent sight like myriad swords.

Qian Feng stood naked to the side, staring intently at each move. After a moment, he took a sharp breath. He keenly noticed that those sword shadows were not fully driven, meaning this sword technique was both illusory and real, truly a masterstroke for confusing opponents.

The upper limit is extremely high!

"That's enough. These two sword moves seem simple, but in reality, they require your use of Golden Lightning to reach a meticulous level." Thunder Lord's voice suddenly carried a hint of teasing, and then he continued,

"Heh heh, little fellow. I often see you planting in the vegetable garden. Since you know how to plant, can you cook?"

"Huh?!" Qian Feng's eyebrow twitched. The sudden change in topic left him somewhat taken aback.

Immediately after, blocks of Golden Lightning condensed in front of him. Thunder Lord prompted, "Next, cut these Golden Lightning blocks into threads, using the Zhi Ge Divine Sword~ Once you can do that, you can start trying to use the first form."

Qian Feng looked at the Golden Lightning blocks in front of him, his mouth twitching.

What does this mean? A Titled Douluo version of chef training?

He shook his head with a bitter smile, only able to follow the instructions of his master, Thunder Lord.

Days passed one by one. Qian Feng continued cutting the lightning blocks into threads with the Zhi Ge Divine Sword in the secret area. After several months, he was able to cut extremely small lightning blocks into golden threads as fine as hair!

"Ah, it really wasn't easy." Qian Feng shook his head, holding the Zhi Ge Divine Sword and shaving off his beard from his chin.

As for his current level of control over "sword," there were probably only a few Sword Martial Soul Soul Masters on the entire Continent who could compare with Qian Feng, right?

After resting for a few days, Qian Feng, naked, began the next phase of his training.

At this point, he had a bit of the style of Linghu Chong practicing sword in a cave or Yang Guo carrying a heavy saber inside a cliff.

Qian Feng held the Zhi Ge Divine Sword tightly in his right hand and began practicing, starting with "chopping."

Unfortunately, after chopping several hundred times with both hands on the sword, swinging from dawn until dusk, he still couldn't produce a single afterimage.

"Phew, I'm definitely not fast enough!"

Fast is a derogatory term for a man.

But if you are fast enough, and your frequency is also terrifying, then "fast" is the ultimate glory for a man!

If Qian Feng wanted to succeed, he had to become the fastest man.

Standing naked beside the stone wall, he continued to repeat the chopping motion for seven full days. As long as he wasn't sleeping, he was thinking of ways to make himself faster!

Finally, heaven rewards those who work hard.

After Qian Feng's chopping motion fell, an afterimage was left in the trajectory he had just cut.

"Arise!"

As the words fell, Golden Lightning gathered within the afterimage, forming a "Zhi Ge Divine Sword." What was even more miraculous was that this Zhi Ge afterimage could move according to his will; it was truly wondrous!

Qian Feng burst into laughter. An unprecedented feeling of exhilaration filled his heart. His tens of thousands of chops had finally succeeded!

Looking back at the stone wall, it was already covered in dense sword marks.

"If I can learn chopping, then thrusting and horizontal slashing are naturally based on the same principle of applying one example to others~" Qian Feng was joyful and continued to change his training focus within the cave.

Sometimes he combined thrusting and horizontal slashing, and sometimes he combined them with chopping.

These three most common sword moves are the foundation of all sword techniques in the world.

At this moment, Qian Feng was laying the foundation for his sword path!

Sword qi crisscrossed throughout the entire secret chamber, occasionally accompanied by Qian Feng's bursts of wild laughter, under such high-pressure training.

His naked body also became more sculpted.

Originally a bit thin as a youth, his muscles were now well-defined and aesthetically pleasing.

Due to practicing sword techniques, his eyes gained a touch of sharpness, which combined with the softness between his brows.

Qian Feng had no idea that his appearance at this moment was astonishingly handsome, possessing a bit of the dashing air of a celestial sword immortal!

"Phew... I only know my sword technique has achieved minor success, but there's no opponent to compare with. It's so boring." Qian Feng sighed. The stone walls of the entire secret chamber were already full of holes, and even the ground was covered with countless marks he had made.

"Young Master~ Oh my, still cultivating so late. Old Ju here, I've brought you something to eat. I'm coming in~" Yue Guan chuckled. Because of the kindness of the A Unique Herb, he genuinely liked his Young Master.

"Uncle Yue?! You're here just in time! Quick! Come in! I can't wait!" A sharp light flashed in Qian Feng's eyes, and he called out with a smile.
