Chương 95: War God’s : — Chapter 95 - C-Rank Relic, Hidden Dragon Abyss! Senior, Let's Set a Time to Meet Up!

"Th-This isn't a move from the Hidden Dragon Five Forms, is it?" Social Security Sis stared in disbelief.

"Soaring Dragon was already broken... what move was that?"

"No..."

"That is a move from the Hidden Dragon Five Forms..." Form Like a Crane's expression was complicated.

"It's just Soaring Dragon at the Return to Simplicity level... as for that move..." Wang Xian landed on the arena and nodded slightly, seemingly satisfied with his technique. He hadn't used this advanced Hidden Dragon Five Forms in a long time. No rust.

"Holy shit!" Windblade Swordsman reformed his body and stared at him in shock.

"What move was that just now?" A master! An absolute master! His ever-victorious mechanical sword technique had actually failed!

"Hidden Dragon Five Forms, Sky-Walking Dragon Ascends. The ancients called this move Soaring Dragon." Wang Xian answered.

"Don't lie to me, Soaring Dragon isn't like that!" Windblade Swordsman gulped.

"No, that is Soaring Dragon..." Form Like a Crane walked down from the platform, seeming to grasp something.

"It's just Soaring Dragon with one portion of strength held back. Soaring Dragon emphasizes erupting the entire body's power into a single point, soaring skyward in one burst."

"But you held back one portion of strength, precisely for that final spear thrust, Turning the Head to Gaze at the Moon."

"Correct." Wang Xian nodded.

"You know the ultimate principle of the Hidden Dragon Five Forms. Even with this final form, one must leave room, to wait for what follows. If you want to reach Return to Simplicity with this spear art, then you must comprehend this point."

"Return to Simplicity..." Windblade Swordsman looked as if this confirmed his expectations. Only by reaching this realm could one freely alter the sword moves within a martial system, making its operation follow the heart. Rather than being constrained by its form, its set moves. This realm was also the martial realm countless warriors dreamed of!

"Today's harvest was pretty good!" Wang Xian smiled slightly.

"You all chat, I'm logging off first." With that, he went offline.

"This master's spear technique skill is so high, and he can even execute advanced martial arts at the Return to Simplicity level with Second Realm life force. Who is he?" Windblade Swordsman hurriedly looked at the two, his face full of curiosity. The two shook their heads.

"His good-for-nothing little brother knows him." Social Security Sis laughed.

"Fools have fortune. Little Tong said he's still a student?"

"Student my ass..." Windblade Swordsman's face was full of disbelief.

"If he's a student, then we students from Dragon Nation's Five Greats are all trash. Absolutely impossible to be a student! Where is there someone with such high skill, and spear technique skill at that!" He finished speaking. He pondered for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Wait, I've got it!"

"What?"

"I know who this person is!"

"?" The two looked at him with puzzled expressions.

"By my deduction..." Windblade Swordsman narrowed his eyes.

"This person must be a grandmaster above the Seventh Realm. It's just that from years and years campaigning in relics, exterminating alien beasts, his body has been infected with a large amount of spirit sha. This caused his realm to fall, his strength far from what it once was..."

"That's right!"

"He's an old senior! It's just that due to some accident, he no longer has the peak strength of his prime."

"You two should understand this kind of situation, right?" The two looked stunned.

"That's a bit interesting..." Social Security Sis's eyes brightened slightly.

"You brat's mind is nimble! There really is that possibility! Dragon Nation does have such cases!"

"And it completely makes sense! Even everything lines up!"

"His life force is low because his body has hidden injuries and damage, but his foundation is still there, so he'll recover. Similarly, because he's a grandmaster, an old senior, his spear technique skill is extremely high!"

"Add to that his physical strength still has a bit of residual power, and he also has experience, so he can execute advanced martial arts at the Second Realm!"

"Finally, his combat experience is extremely rich, and he can see the outcome of a fight at a glance. This kind of judgment is enough to prove he's definitely an old senior!"

"An old senior playing Martial Arts Wujian for the first time definitely wouldn't be familiar, so he started from scratch. Plus, not wanting people to recognize him, he also used some younger-looking skins?" Form Like a Crane beside her thought for a moment. She actually found this somewhat reasonable.

"And also, the old senior doesn't want to be limited to the spear, so he switched to practicing blade arts?" Social Security Sis clapped her hands.

"So his blade art level also improved rapidly, even being able to execute the extremely difficult 'Tiger Sha Three Blades'?" This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

"Tiger Sha Three Blades? He knows the Tiger Sha Three Blades? Really?" Windblade Swordsman looked stunned.

"He does, we've seen it ourselves."

"Then he's definitely an old senior!" Windblade Swordsman's expression turned solemn with respect, his heart rising with endless admiration.

"Think about it, an old senior who lost his strength, unwilling to accept his body's injuries, even as his strength fell to rock bottom, still unwilling to give up!"

"So through Martial Arts Wujian, he rose up in pursuit."

"Cultivating blade arts, tempering his skill, even occasionally guiding us juniors..."

"Wanting to burn out the last bit of his life..."

"So moving, this spirit of unyielding struggle!"

"We martial practitioners should be like this!" As he spoke, his eyes glistened with tears.

"......" The two.

"Feels like you're going a bit overboard?" Social Security Sis coughed.

"No, absolutely not!" Windblade Swordsman said loudly.

"Think about it, just now he took my entire Wind-Thunder Sword Art without a single grunt. Even at the lowest virtual setting, it must have been painful and hard to bear, but his expression was blank, looking like he was long accustomed to it."

"Who among ordinary people could do that? The old senior just didn't want to affect my display of martial arts!"

"Ah, you women just don't understand at all." Windblade Swordsman waved his hand, his admiration for the old senior growing ever stronger in his heart.

"......"

"......"

"But his nickname doesn't sound like something an old senior would choose either." Social Security Sis said.

"It's kinda lewd."

"Cao Thief Misled Me?" Windblade Swordsman waved his hand, his face full of I-know-better.

"That's where you don't understand. Have you forgotten, the surname Cao, in history there was a famous spearman. Which is also how the origin of another school, the Heavenly Wolf Howling Moon Spear, came about?"

"That I do know..." Form Like a Crane beside her thought for a moment.

"It's said that the Heavenly Wolf Howling Moon Spear was improved by a Martial God based on the martial art 'Heavenly Wolf Spear Art' performed by a General surnamed Cao in history."

"Exactly!" Windblade Swordsman said.

"That is to say, the root ancestor of our current Heavenly Wolf Howling Moon Spear is actually this General Cao!"

"He chose the name Cao Thief Misled Me, likely meaning the first half of his life was trapped by the spear art. But alas, at the Seventh Realm he couldn't practice the Nation-Guarding Martial Art, and lost all his strength, now starting over from scratch, with no chance left. That is what misled his entire life!" Social Security Sis gasped sharply. Had to say. She was convinced.

"If he's an old senior..." Social Security Sis glanced at her best friend, as if thinking of something.

"When you win the Dragon's Roar Asking Martial championship, ask him then if he knows much about alien beasts."

"If he does, why not invite him to meet in person, and then form a team to go to that relic. Even if he can't contribute strength, with his understanding of alien beasts we'd move like fish in water inside the relic."

"After all, having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. Bringing an old senior into a relic definitely guarantees safety!"

"Makes sense, I think it's worth trying. This kind of old senior has killed alien beasts his whole life, he definitely knows them better than we do. Most importantly, his life force isn't high, which perfectly meets the conditions for entering the relic." Windblade Swordsman said.

"Alright, I'll try when the time comes." Form Like a Crane nodded slightly. Over a month passed in the blink of an eye. Wang Xian's days were very fulfilling. Because of the requirement to keep a low profile, even though his score was absurdly high and shook the entire nation, with the official protection of the Rong City Military Department, no media or internet interference disturbed his cultivation. At most, one or two official personnel from Rong City came by for a small interview.

Beyond that, it was daily cultivation, immersing himself in Martial Arts Wujian to hone the Guarding Art, and practicing the Tiger Sha Blade Art in the cultivation chamber. Inside the cultivation chamber. The demon blade in hand, spirit sha continuously flowed into his body, passing respectively through the Stomach Meridian of Foot-Yangming, Gallbladder Meridian of Foot-Shaoyang, Bladder Meridian of Foot-Taiyang, and other meridians. One meridian after another, clear as the sea, filled abundantly with spirit sha.

"Hah..."

"The Three Yang Meridians of the Foot are refined. Over this past month, only the Three Yin Meridians of the Foot remain."

"My life force has also reached around 700."

"Just the last three meridians within the Three Yin Meridians of the Foot remain." Just as Wang Xian had expected. After first opening all the meridians with two bottles of Origin Crystal Water, and after absorbing most of the spirit sha from the Tiger Soul Spirit Core, of the 12 regular meridians, only three remained not yet refined into divine meridians. Wang Xian stood up and stroked the demon blade beside him.

"The Tiger Sha Blade Art has also reached perfected mastery, not far from peak mastery..."

"About a little over a week left, school should be starting soon, right?"

"Once these last three meridians are opened, I should be approaching the Third Realm, but it'll require a large amount of spirit sha."

"Fully fusing the divine meridians into the 'Cosmic Cycle Divine Meridian' will directly reach the Third Realm, which also needs a large amount of spirit sha." Wang Xian rubbed his chin. The Guarding Art was also basically fully trained, just needing a little more fire to cultivate the 'Guarding Force'.

"Still a week left, I can consider going to take a look at some relics, searching for any rare treasures similar to the Tiger Soul Spirit Core." Stroking the demon blade in his hand. Unknowingly, the demon blade, having completely absorbed the Tiger Soul Spirit Core, although the spirit sha had already been absorbed by himself, the demon blade seemed to have also been tainted with a bit of tiger sha, its surface faintly bearing tiger patterns, extremely fierce and menacing.

He looked again at the bone spear beside him.

"Old friend, sitting for two or three months, I haven't had a chance to use you..." Wang Xian put down the demon blade and stroked the bone spear once made from the spine of the Crimson Blood Mountain Lord. At that moment, his phone screen suddenly lit up. [Form Like a Crane: Senior! I got first place at Dragon's Roar Asking Martial! These days, many thanks for your guidance! [folded hands]] [Wang Xian: No need to be polite, no need to call me sen— ah, forget it.] Wang Xian read the message and shook his head helplessly. These past days, the only change was that this spear art genius, along with those duel masters she invited, all called him senior one by one. He didn't know why either. He had explained it, no need to call him senior, his age wasn't great, just a Second Realm, unworthy of the title senior. But these fellows, each one very stubborn. Coupled with the reverence in their eyes, it made him feel a bit embarrassed.

As for Dragon's Roar Asking Martial, it was a competition this spear art genius had recently gone to participate in. It was said that most of those who went were Fourth Realm warriors, with extraordinary strength. To be able to win the championship, it seemed her progress during this period had been great. Some time ago, Wang Xian had personally watched as she cultivated the Thousand Army Spear Art to Return to Simplicity, and comprehended a move of her own. Very impressive.

"In this era, to have a spear art genius like this, truly wonderful!" Wang Xian exclaimed. If it were in his previous life, he would definitely take her as a disciple and teach her everything he knew! But now, forget it. [Form Like a Crane: By the way senior, how much do you know about dragon-type alien beasts?] [Wang Xian: Decent amount.] [Form Like a Crane: Then I'd like to ask senior for a favor...] [Wang Xian: Speak] [Form Like a Crane: If possible, I'd like to invite senior for an offline meeting. If it works, let's go together to a new relic that has dragon-type alien beasts. As for conditions, senior, you can state them. We'll prepare the best equipment for you, and absolute protection!] [Wang Xian: What new relic?] [Form Like a Crane: It's called 'Hidden Dragon Abyss', currently tentatively classified as a C-rank relic.] Wang Xian looked at the name of this relic and was slightly taken aback.

"Hidden Dragon Abyss?" His eyes gleamed slightly.

"Interesting..." [Wang Xian: Sure, let me prepare for a few days!] [Form Like a Crane: That's great! Once you're ready, senior, let me know! Then we'll set a time and place!] [Wang Xian: [OK]] ➤ Next: Northern Border Calamity, Meeting Face to Face!
