Leo didn't have to worry about losing the Soulforge Soul Return Tactic cultivation talent because it was only a recollection stored in his mind; in fact, comprehending it only needed half the effort.
Leo had thoroughly memorized the circulation path via the twenty-six meridians after walking through it twice.
However, he hesitated to begin cultivation immediately. Up until now, he had only managed to acquire a fraction of the Soulforge Soul Return Tactic. Having acquired such a great cultivation method initially, Leo eagerly anticipated obtaining the remaining memories.
Upon swiftly revisiting the memories once more, Leo felt a sense of satisfaction wash over him. Mastered a sword skill in record time.
In martial arts, combat strengths are typically categorized into three main parts: natural strength level, cultivation skill, and martial techniques. The initial consideration was your body's natural strength level. That was clearly the most fundamental and crucial. For regular martial artists, defeating opponents of higher levels seemed like a far-fetched tale.
The second skill you developed was the cultivation skill. The more powerful the cultivation technique, the better your recovery and endurance. The third category, martial techniques, was deemed crucial during battles. These are martial techniques.
Knowing a martial skill greatly influenced a martial artist's strength in a fight. In a hypothetical scenario where two martial artists of equal skill face off, the one with superior martial abilities would undoubtedly hold the upper hand.
Combat abilities and training methods were categorized into different levels and classes.
Just like in a thrilling adventure novel, martial skills were truly invaluable. The sword skill resembled a martial skill. Leo acquired the name of the sword skill from his memory. The skill was known as Blinking Sword Skill.
True to its name, the sword technique excelled in its remarkable speed! The sword would swiftly appear.
When it comes to martial skills, no level of firmness is unbreakable, but speed remains unyielding!
When it came to sword techniques, this was even more accurate. The sword felt like a piece of lightweight equipment, contrasting with the movements of heavy weapons. Even when facing a stronger enemy attack, launching your own attack first renders their strength useless.
Leo remembered that The Blinking Sword Skill was classified as an upper Huang class sword skill!
When Leo showcased the upper Huang class sword, martial artists couldn't help but be in awe, considering it a heavenly existence compared to the Large Foundation Fist skill he displayed the day before.
What makes the Whitaker family stand out as the top clan in Azure Peak Village? The Whitaker family patriarch Long Zhan's martial skill, Dragon Seizing Hand, was their ultimate reliance.
Despite its imposing name, Dragon Seizing Hand was actually just a lower Huang class martial skill.
A simple lower Huang class martial skill was sufficient to dominate a small village, even able to subdue the other families. The value and strength of martial skills were truly evident.
With Leo's talent, the newly acquired Soulforge Soul Return Tactic, and the Blinking Sword Skill, the Whitaker family would soon become insignificant. It was clear that Leo's dantian held a mysterious and incredibly powerful sword crystal awaiting his discovery.
Leo's body underwent significant and dramatic changes within a day. His skills had reached an unprecedented level, his progress had been remarkable, and he had acquired valuable techniques and martial skills. There appeared to be a promising future on the horizon.
Leo meticulously sorted through his memories and found more than just combat techniques. He stumbled upon rune circles, magic spells, enchantments, and other mysterious symbols.
Leo lacked knowledge about these matters. It felt as though the Aetherblade Continent was filled with enchanters who specialized in enhancing weapons and armor to increase their power.
It is important to note that becoming an enchanter is a path not easily accessible to ordinary individuals. Leo had a vague idea of the reason, showing his limited understanding of enchantment matters.
Even though he had mastered the basics of enchantment, Leo had no interest in continuing his studies at the moment. Prior to determining his ability to learn it, what was crucial at the moment was his limited time. The top priority at the moment was to swiftly increase his power.
While confident in eventually surpassing the Whitaker family, Leo acknowledged his current inability to match their strength. To stop his elder sister from being married off to Franklin Whitaker, he saw joining the Zephyr Blade Sect as his only hope. He believed that the sect's power could intimidate the Whitaker family.
His expression turned sour as he gazed upon the lifeless body of the Second Brother. Leo sensed a hint of danger in this location. As he ventured further into the mountains, the task of locating someone in such a vast forest would prove to be quite challenging, even if more people were sent to track him down.
That individual might be deemed as unfortunate. Before, no matter where he struck towards Leo, Leo would have been wounded, but he chose to throw a deadly strike at Leo's dantian.
Due to the presence of the sword crystal within his delicate dantian, it had transformed into Leo's most formidable asset. He failed to harm Leo and ended up triggering a protective sword qi that swiftly took out the Second Brother.
It was clear that Leo's luck had not run out just yet.
Leo finally came to a halt after journeying far from his starting point. He was hesitant to venture further. Who could have guessed the powerful beings lurking in the heart of the mountain. He sat back down, breathed deeply, cleared his mind of distractions, and resumed his cultivation.
Inside the dantian, the treasure-like sword crystal made of white jade crystal persisted in its steady rotation, seemingly unaltered from its previous state. An alluring allure emanated from the mysterious patterns engraved into the blade.
Leo didn't pay it any mind either. Based on its current performance, the sword crystal had only brought advantages and no harm. Perhaps as his power increased, a time would come when he could solve the enigmas within.
Leo sat cross-legged, opting to use the Soulforge Soul Return Tactic instead of the Guiding Qi Tactic this time.
Leo had mastered the circulation method of Soulforge Soul Return Tactic. Recalling the route along the twenty-six meridians, Leo felt unsure about taking any chances on his initial try.
Through the circulation method, the soul force in the air was drawn into his body in an instant. The rate of absorption far exceeded that of the Guiding Qi Tactic.
A mysterious energy took hold of Leo and began to stir within him. He meticulously guided the soul force through the initial meridian, avoiding any possible distractions. He carefully followed the Soulforge Soul Return Tactic's technique, circulating along the path. Before long, the initial meridian brimmed with spiritual energy, while some of it seeped into his body, altering his physical form.
After completing the journey through the first meridian, the soul force proceeded to the second, then the third, the fourth...
In the past, when Leo utilized Guiding Qi Tactic, he was only familiar with a single meridian for circulation. Going around one circle of qi was quick, but now with the Soulforge Soul Return Tactic, all twenty-six meridians must be circulated. The duration required stretched significantly, yet the rewards were equally substantial.
Using the Soulforge Soul Return Tactic once was as powerful as using the Guiding Qi Tactic a hundred times!
Furthermore, as the meridians that the Soulforge Soul Return Tactic circulated through extended throughout the entire body, it resulted in the refinement and enhancement of the body's overall strength.
Just like in a fantasy novel, the process was identical for reaching the third level of body refining. One martial artist who focused on a single meridian couldn't match the skills of another martial artist who trained all their body's meridians. This showcased the strength of a cultivation technique.
It took Leo a full half hour to complete the first great circulatory cycle. It was slow due to the increased number of meridians being circulated through. Also, it was his initial attempt at using this cultivation method, and he was not accustomed to it. With a bit more practice, the velocity would gradually rise.
Leo experienced a sense of bravery when using the Soulforge Soul Return Tactic for the first time. He believed that his newfound strength was slightly increased compared to his previous level. This extraordinary and chilling outcome would likely astonish fellow martial artists if shared with them.
Honestly, the Soulforge Soul Return Tactic is so unique that only Leo could achieve such remarkable results with it.
Due to the intricate circulatory system required to flow through the body, most martial artists would have blocked meridians, hindering smooth circulation. Even with a day and a half, it's unlikely they would have finished a significant circulatory cycle.
When Leo finally obtained the sword crystal, it cleared out his meridians, allowing him to circulate the Soulforge Soul Return Tactic.
The Soulforge Soul Return Tactic was indeed a cultivation technique designed exclusively for the most talented individuals!
After finishing the initial significant circulatory cycle, Leo grew accustomed to the circulation path. Continuously, he absorbed soul force into his body and initiated the cycle for his second great circulatory cycle.
