Upon reaching the Minor Apex, Zhang Ruo Chen's Qi Lake capacity expanded once again.

  Every time you break through the boundary, the aura lake is expanded tenfold. However, this breakthrough has expanded the aura lake nearly twelvefold.

  Don't underestimate just doubling it. In a real martial arts master's battle, even the slightest advantage might become the key to winning.

  "The Semi-Holy Elixir is really good stuff, it not only enhances my martial body, but also expands my Qi Lake." Zhang Ruo Chen's mood was greatly improved after his cultivation breakthrough.

  With the help of the Ten Drops of Sacred Truth Liquid, Zhang Ruochen was confident that he could raise his cultivation to the extreme position of the Xuanji Realm before the quarterly assessment.

  Refining the Semi-Holy Elixir has a secondary effect on enhancing one's cultivation.

  The true value of the Semi-Holy Elixir lies in its enhancement of one's martial body. Under the refinement of the Semi-Holy Elixir, Zhang Ruochen's physique became even more powerful, his meridians broader, and his explosive force more fierce.

  "Upon reaching the boundary of the Mystic Extreme Realm's Minor Extreme Position, I can condense a Blood Beast. But I don't know what kind of blood beast virtual shadow I condensed."

  Zhang Ruochen walked out of the inner space of the Time and Space Crystal and came to the Martial Arts Hall.

  "Blood Beast"

  Zhang Ruochen stood in the center of the practice hall, as true energy circulated through his meridians, wisps of blood energy emanated from his pores, completely enveloping his body.

  The sound of dragon and elephant harmonizing, resonating in the blood and energy.

  A seven-meter-high wild elephant's shadow appeared behind Zhang Ruochen, with pillar-like legs as thick as a column, long tusks like spears, and a robust body.

  In addition, a dragon shadow with seven claws was wrapped around the back of the wild elephant, baring its teeth and brandishing its claws, its head horn shining brightly, a pair of huge dragon eyes emitting purple lightning.

  Although Xiang Ying and Long Ying were both extremely faint, the aura they emitted was exceptionally powerful, as if they had brought Zhang Ruochen back to the ancient wilderness.

  "It's actually a dragon elephant beast shadow, which is even more powerful than the thunder dragon beast shadow I condensed in my previous life."

  Zhang Ruochen withdrew his blood energy back into his body, and the dragon elephant's virtual shadow also disappeared.

  "Test my current speed."

  The space in the training hall was too small, so Zhang Ruochen came to the plaza of Longwu Hall to test his speed.

  He stepped out of the courtyard, stood in front of the gate, and circulated his true energy to his legs. With a whooshing sound, Zhang Ruochen shot out like a gust of wind, leaving behind a string of afterimages.

  A moment later, Zhang Ruochen rushed to the other end of the square, stopping his footsteps freely, with a joyful expression on his face. "Without activating my Bloodline power, I can already burst out at a speed of 50 meters per second. If I activate my Bloodline power and form a Dragon Elephant Virtual Shadow, I should be able to burst out at a speed of 52 meters per second."

  For a general warrior, at the time of the small extreme boundary, the speed is about 36 meters per second; the middle extreme position can reach 40 meters per second; the large extreme position can reach 44 meters per second; and the great perfection can reach 48 meters per second.

  The students of Bushi Gakuen are stronger than ordinary martial artists in the same boundary.

  Disciples in the Academy, when they reach the extreme boundary of the Great Perfection, even the weakest disciples can burst out with a speed of 50 meters per second.

  Zhang Ruochen is now at the Small Perfection Boundary of the Profound Extreme Realm, with a maximum speed of 52 meters per second, and can already compare speeds with some of the Great Circle Completion disciples in the Western Academy.

  "With my current strength, even if I were to face a Xuanji Realm cultivator head-on, I would have the confidence to emerge victorious." Zhang Ruochen clenched his fists tightly, and he could clearly feel the increase in his strength.

  "The ultimate state of the Mystic Realm is when speed reaches 81 meters per second."

  "At my current level, when I reach the Xuanji Realm's Great Perfection, my speed should be able to reach 70 meters per second, but it is absolutely impossible to reach 81 meters per second."

  Seventy meters per second, even faster than some of the top warriors in the world, but Zhang Ruochen was not satisfied. He wanted to reach the highest level of Xuanji Realm, and only by doing his best in every realm could he have more space for growth in the future.

  "It is necessary to cultivate a high-level speed-type martial skill, and the opportunity to impact the extreme boundary of the ultimate realm will be greater."

  Zhang Ruochen recalled in his mind and soon selected a top-grade speed-type martial skill, named "Wind Dragon Shadow".

  The Wind Dragon Shadow was already the lowest level of speed-type martial skills in Zhang Ruochen's memory, which just suited his current cultivation.

  With his current cultivation, it would take about two to three months to fully master a low-grade spiritual martial skill. To fully master a mid-grade spiritual martial skill, it would take about a year. To fully master a high-grade spiritual martial skill, at least five years would be needed.

  It's because his spiritual power is strong, so he can cultivate at such a fast speed.

  If so, for a general Xuanji Realm cultivator, it would take at least a year to fully cultivate a low-grade Ling-level martial skill. To successfully cultivate a mid-grade Ling-level martial skill, it would take at least ten years. As for high-grade Ling-level martial skills, it would take at least sixty years to have a chance of successful cultivation.

  The higher the martial arts boundary, the faster the speed of cultivating martial skills.

  The stronger the spiritual power, the faster the speed of cultivating martial skills.

  Zhang Ruochen had never thought of cultivating the Wind Dragon Step to its ultimate stage in a short period of time, and only wanted to cultivate it to the minor completion stage first.

  Once he reached a small accomplishment in his cultivation, Zhang Ruochen's speed would increase greatly, just like the flying dragon riding the wind.

  The Wind Flying Dragon Shadow has a total of nine steps, each step with nine variations, totaling eighty-one variations.

  When in a hurry to rush on the road, just use Yufeng Jiubu. Cultivate to small success, take nine steps and you can travel one mile.

  When engaging with the enemy at close range, use the eighty-one kinds of footwork variations to make the enemy defend in vain, seeing only your shadow but unable to touch your body.

  Zhang Ruochen was also practicing the Wind Chasing Dragon Shadow for the first time and could only grope his way forward.

  At first, he could only walk in nine simplest steps. After walking more than a dozen times, Zhang Ruochen began to speed up his pace.

  The speed got faster and faster, Zhang Ruochen's legs seemed to have turned into a shadow, and more than ten leg shadows appeared on the ground.

  In the distance, Huang Yanchen and Duanmu Xingling stood on the pavilion, staring at Zhang Ruochen who was practicing in the square.

  "He seems to be cultivating a profound body technique, at least it's a spiritual-level lower-grade body technique." said Duanmu Xingling.

  Huang Yanzhen's jade fingers lightly supported her chin, saying: "Body techniques and martial skills have always been rare. The body technique I'm currently cultivating is only a human-grade high-quality one. The Western Courtyard does have a spiritual-grade lower-quality body technique called the Golden Thunder Step, but unfortunately, it's not suitable for women to cultivate. The Thousand Waters King Palace has two spiritual-grade lower-quality body techniques, but unfortunately, they both have some flaws and are not suitable for me to cultivate. It seems that I can only find a suitable spiritual-grade body technique in the Inner Courtyard."

  Du Mu Xing Ling's eyes revealed a strange glow as he stared at Zhang Ruo Chen, who was practicing his steps, and said: "Why don't we let our junior brother teach us?"

  "The lowest-grade spiritual body technique, how precious it is. At the very least, it would cost 2 million silver coins to buy it. Even in the Martial City Academy, one would need to spend 1,000 merit points just to borrow it." Huang Yanchen said coldly: "You think he will teach us?"

  Duanmu Xingling touched the space jade bangle on her wrist and smiled: "Zhang Shidi has never been a stingy person."

  "He's just stingy with you." Huang Yanchen said gruffly.

  Du Mu Xing Ling Dao said: "We should try it out anyway, besides I found that his cultivation method and martial skills are quite special, they don't have the usual limitations like other methods, maybe it's very suitable for us to cultivate. Chen Jie, if we miss this opportunity, it will be hard to find another suitable method in the future."

  "Alright." Huang Yanchen's heart also slightly stirred. If Zhang Yanchen's cultivated body method and martial skills were really suitable for her to cultivate, she was even willing to pay a high price to buy them.

  Huang Yanchen and Duanmuxingling were like two stunning goddesses, their dresses fluttering, their figures lithe and supple, as they flew down from the pavilion and walked towards Zhang Ruochen.

  When he saw them walking over, Zhang Ruochen stopped his cultivation.

  "Junior brother, what profound martial skill are you cultivating?" asked Duanmu Xingling, blinking her beautiful eyes curiously.

  Zhang Ruochen smiled and said: "It's not some profound martial skill, just a speed-type martial skill. If the two of you want to learn it, I can teach you."

  Du Mu Xingling and Huang Yanchen exchanged a glance, originally they were still somewhat embarrassed, not knowing how to break the silence, but unexpectedly Zhang Ruochen took the lead in guessing their intention.

  Huang Yanchen's face turned cold and he said, "I won't learn for nothing. How many merit points or silver coins do you want? I'll give them to you right now."

  Zhang Ruochen gazed at Huang Yanchen's stunning face and smiled leisurely, "If I were to sell this martial skill, I'm afraid even you, Master Huang, wouldn't be able to afford it."

  Zhang Ruochen could naturally see their purpose, and the reason he planned to teach them for free was mainly because last time Huang Yanchen timely drew his sword to kill Hua Lian, saving him once.

  If there is a grudge, it must be avenged. If there is kindness, of course, it should also be repaid.

  Upon hearing Zhang Ruochen's words, Huang Yanchen's eyes turned cold and he said, "You say who can't afford it today? I must buy it no matter what."

  Zhang Ruochen gently shook his head and didn't say a word.

  A worst spiritual grade superior martial skill can sell for 8 million silver coins outside. Not to mention the Wind Chasing Flying Dragon Shadow is a speed-type martial skill, and it's also the top speed-type martial skill among the spiritual grade superior ones. Outside, it would cost at least 30 million silver coins, or even higher.

  Even if Huang Yanchen was the princess of Qian Shui Prefecture, she wouldn't be able to come up with 30 million silver coins. If she sold herself, perhaps she could fetch that price; at the very least, the King of Qian Shui would definitely buy her back.

  "Zhang Ruochen, what's with that expression? You dare to look down on me?" Huang Yanchen glared at Zhang Ruochen with a pair of starry eyes, grinding her teeth, looking very displeased.

  "I didn't mean to look down on Huang Shijie, I'm telling the truth. If Huang Shijie wants to learn, it's best to be more humble and not too arrogant. If Huang Shijie insists on buying this speed-type martial skill, then I'll give her a discount, 10 million silver coins, can't be any less." Zhang Ruochen said very seriously.
