Su Changqing left the cave abode in high spirits.
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
As expected of Master, truly impressive.
Of course, he hadn't forgotten his main task.
There were only a few days left until the sect mission. He had to go to the Mission Hall tomorrow to receive his assignment, so today was perfect for practicing the "Nine Sky-Cutting Swords" and "Wandering Dragon Step."
For ordinary martialists, it would take at least a year or two to master these two techniques to completion. Even exceptional martialists would need at least half a year.
But for Su Changqing?
One day was enough.
Under the bright night stars, Su Changqing practiced martial arts on Lingyun Peak.
The terrifying sounds naturally couldn't escape the notice of Gu Xiran inside the cave abode.
Although her cultivation level was temporarily only at the Mortal Transformation Realm, her spiritual sense was at the Peak Supreme Realm.
Her formidable spiritual sense covered the entire Lingyun Peak.
She silently watched Su Changqing practice all night.
The more she watched, the more shocked she became.
"This... how is this possible? How can this troublesome disciple have such terrifying talent?"
Even Gu Xiran, a martialist at the Peak Supreme Realm, was deeply shaken by Su Changqing.
At first, when Su Changqing practiced the "Wandering Dragon Step," he was quite inexperienced.
His steps were all wrong.
But a quarter of an hour later.
He reached the entry-level.
He could already perform the body technique completely.
Half an hour later.
Su Changqing smoothly reached minor completion.
Then, under Gu Xiran's astonished gaze, Su Changqing directly advanced from minor completion to completion within an hour.
And within two hours, he broke through to the perfection stage.
It's known that mastering martial arts from low to high is divided into: entry-level, minor completion, completion, and perfection.
For an ordinary martialist to master a spiritual-grade martial art to perfection, it would take several years, if not more.
Many martialists can't achieve it in a lifetime.
Even a martialist like Gu Xiran at the Peak Supreme Realm couldn't possibly master a spiritual-grade technique to perfection in a few hours.
But Su Changqing?
In just three to four hours, he went from having no contact to reaching perfection.
Fing hell, is he even human?
Gu Xiran was certain that Su Changqing had never encountered this martial art before.
Her spiritual sense had been monitoring Su Changqing from start to finish.
This guy started completely from scratch.
"If this gets out, the entire continent would be shocked."
Gu Xiran swallowed hard and murmured to herself.
However, it wasn't over yet.
After practicing the "Wandering Dragon Step" to perfection, Su Changqing turned his attention to the "Nine Sky-Cutting Swords."
This martial art was genuinely a superior-grade profound martial art, incredibly powerful.
With the infusion from the system, Su Changqing had already reached the entry-level, barely able to perform this sword technique.
But that wasn't enough.
Su Changqing casually picked up a tree branch from the ground and began to practice the "Nine Sky-Cutting Swords."
At first, he was not proficient, and his execution of the sword technique was slow.
But half an hour later, Su Changqing directly advanced from entry-level to minor completion, his speed increasing dozens of times, leaving only afterimages.
Under Gu Xiran's spiritual sense detection, her eyes were filled with intense shock!
"Hiss, such exquisite swordsmanship is definitely not spiritual-grade; it's profound-grade martial arts!?
And it's superior-grade profound martial arts!
How does this troublesome disciple have superior-grade profound martial arts?"
Gu Xiran sat on her meditation cushion, utterly bewildered.
But when she saw clearly the swordsmanship Su Changqing was practicing, she was dumbfounded again.
"No way!
This... this is that incomplete sword technique, the Nine Sky-Cutting Swords.
Could it be that this kid completed the sword technique?"
Gu Xiran was unsettled.
She was naturally aware of this incomplete spiritual-grade sword technique, the Nine Sky-Cutting Swords, said to be created by a great power. The complete sword technique was at the superior-grade profound level, just a step away from celestial-grade martial arts, incredibly precious.
But the Tai Xuan Sect only had the first three swords; the subsequent techniques were missing, so it was only mid-grade spiritual.
But now, what Su Changqing was performing was clearly the complete Nine Sky-Cutting Swords.
She quickly stood up, her spiritual sense locked tightly onto Su Changqing.
It was evident that Su Changqing's proficiency was increasing, and the speed of the tree branch in his hand was getting faster and faster.
Two hours later.
The Nine Sky-Cutting Swords reached completion.
Three hours later.
"Sky-Cutting... Sky-Cutting, cutting a sliver of life.
To intercept the heavens, one must be fast, fast enough that even the heavens can't stop it.
Not fast enough, still not fast enough!!
Faster... even faster..."
***
Su Changqing seemed to enter an extremely profound state.
At this moment, his eyes were empty, as if he were in an illusory space.
All he wanted was to keep getting faster, faster to the extreme.
"Dao Insight... he achieved Dao Insight?
My heavens, this troublesome disciple actually achieved Dao Insight?"
Gu Xiran was almost scared to death.
Dao Insight, a state countless martialists dream of achieving in their lifetime.
Martialists in the Dao Insight state enter a strange space, where their understanding of martial arts accelerates dramatically, and their cultivation speed becomes unbelievably fast.
This state is rare and elusive.
Even for a great power like Gu Xiran at the Peak Supreme Realm, entering such a state is challenging.
She had only heard of the Dao Insight state, never experienced it.
Yet Su Changqing, a mere Mortal Transformation Realm martialist, entered the Dao Insight state.
In the Dao Insight state, Su Changqing had no other thoughts, only one desire: speed, faster and faster!
Gu Xiran watched as the tree branch in Su Changqing's hand moved faster and faster, until even her spiritual sense couldn't fully capture its speed.
She was a Supreme Realm expert, yet she couldn't see Su Changqing's sword speed clearly.
If this got out, no one would believe it.
Boom!
It was as if he suddenly comprehended everything.
The Nine Sky-Cutting Swords, perfection!
Su Changqing slowly awoke from that wondrous state.
Shock!
Extreme shock!
Gu Xiran hadn't slept all day, nor had she practiced. Her eyes were fixed on Su Changqing, her beautiful eyes bloodshot.
She even wondered if she was dreaming.
In one day, she witnessed Su Changqing master a spiritual-grade martial art and a superior-grade profound martial art to perfection.
And he entered the Dao Insight state.
Fing hell, can a normal person do this?
"What is the origin of this troublesome disciple, to have such terrifying talent? Truly unprecedented."
Throughout the entire Tianwu Continent, there had never been such a record.
He was truly one of a kind.
Su Changqing, having finished his practice, wore a satisfied smile.
"That state just now actually improved my cultivation level. I've already reached the Peak Mortal Transformation Realm. It seems I should try to enter that state more often in the future."
Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawread dot com ].
Gu Xiran: "????"
Hearing Su Changqing's words, Gu Xiran was dumbfounded again.
What the hell?
Are you barking mad?
Do you think that's me, entering whenever you want?
However, what Gu Xiran didn't know was that for ordinary martialists, the Dao Insight state is rare and elusive. Even exceptional martialists might only enter it once in a lifetime.
But for someone like Su Changqing, with extraordinary comprehension, entering the Dao Insight state wasn't difficult.
