Alchemy Talent: Mortal Tier 11 (40/120)

Alchemy Grade: 1 (170/200)

His Human Tier cultivation talent has been enhancing through the efforts of his subordinates who were busy hunting monsters while absorbing talent for him.

This was a highly beneficial task because not only could they hone their battle prowess and help increase Long Chen's talent, they could also acquire more monsters corpses and sell them for crystals.

His Alchemy Talent had also managed to break through to the next Tier. Right now, Long Chen was allocating all his talent points towards his cultivation, because strength was king.

Regardless, with the 'Allocate 2 Talent Points = 1 Talent Point to other Talent' feature, he did not have to worry about his Alchemy Talent lagging too far behind.

Now, he had 5 different combat skills, with 3 being an offensive skill, 1 being a movement skill and the last being a defensive skill.

Although, however, the Leopard Fists was at fairly redundant as an offensive skill. He was mainly using a sword, and unless the other party fights him in close combat, there was no other uses in the Leopard Fists.

Long Chen knew that by practicing a skill to the Peak of the Ultimate Perfection, the skill would be automatically upgraded to the next Grade.

However, his understanding of the new upgraded skill will be reset to zero, the destructiveness of the skill will reduce.

After all, even though skills can oppress other skills lower in grade than them, this suppression of grades were not that great for a mere Rudimentary Grade 8 Skill to overpower a Peak Ultimate Perfection Grade 7 Skill

This will not affect Long Chen's battle power whenever he upgrades a skill though.

For example, if he upgrades the Shadow Sword skill to Grade 8, and his understanding drops back to the Rudimentary proficiency, he still had the Peak Ultimate Perfection proficiency of the Grade 7 Shadow Sword Skill

It doesn't get erased from his mind just because the skill was now one Grade higher.

The Piercing Cloud movement skill he had just learned came in just in time, because this skill will allow him to be able to escape when meeting higher Realm enemies.

It, of course, was not that remarkable to be able to allow him to escape from all Sky realm warriors, but will at least grant him an ability to escape from an Early-Stage Sky realm warrior if he practices it to a sufficient proficiency.

Long Chen looked around his courtyard, and decided to spend some time to practice his new skills and reach a suitable understanding before he went out for his mission.

Even though he was confident of his strength, he just wanted to ensure that no unexpected accidents would happen.

This world was merciless, and a slight mistake could end his future and cost his life.

He picked up the Low-Tier Grade 1 Spirit Sword from his storage bag, and began to practice the Soaring Sword skill according to the movements he remembered within his mind.

----------

3 days had already unknowingly passed.

Long Chen's forehead was covered in beads of sweat, and his chest heavily heaved up and down. He positioned himself in a stance, and like a flash of lightning, he quickly ran over to another region of the courtyard.

He continued this, as he flashed by and circle throughout the circumference of the entire interior of the courtyard.

If an Elementary Realm cultivator was to watch his movements, the only thing they would find is a swift gust of wind passing by them, and the disappearance of Long Chen's figure, before he miraculously appeared within another corner of the courtyard.

This was the Piercing Clouds movement skill which Long Chen had learned, and placed the most emphasis on.

His life was precious, and he wanted to have the ability to escape and protect himself if someone he couldn't fight against were to start attacking him.

The so-called bullshit pride of a cultivator was nothing to him.

If Long Chen was able to kill, he would kill. If he wasn't able to, he would simply run away.

After a long while of flashing movements, Long Chen finally stopped and powerlessly slumped down onto the floor of the courtyard.

[Host's understanding of [Piercing Cloud Movement] skill has increased from the Elementary Stage to the Accomplished Stage]

His face rose up to reveal a smile of pure satisfaction and elation. After burning every fiber of his body, and exhausting the plentiful supply of Qi energy within him, he had finally managed to reach the Perfection Stage.

With his heart still pounding from the vigorous training, Long Chen pulled up his status panel.

Alchemy Talent: Mortal Tier 11 (95/120)

Alchemy Grade: 1 (170/200)

He had managed to get his Shadow Sword to promote to Grade 8, and also increase his understanding to the Elementary level.

The Sinking Barrier and Soaring Sword had also reached the Elementary understanding, while the one he focused the most on, the Piercing Cloud Movement, directly made its way to the Accomplished level.

His cultivation talent also corresponded to his combat skill talents, so this made learning and comprehending combat skills much easier.

A normal genius would have probably took a few weeks before they could reach his current level, and the case of his achievements were due to his monstrous talent along with his unyielding effort.

Of course, he had also not forgotten to neglect his cultivation, although it was slightly slower because he spent most of his time on comprehending the various combat skills.

Long Chen now felt confident with his capable to protect himself, it was time for him to leave towards the Thousand Monsters Forest and began his mission.

'I would like to see what Chen Yu Yang can bring to me this time.' Long Chen thought inwardly as his mouth started to rise into a smirk.

When he was leaving the Sect, he purposely allowed his trail to be observable, and while he was on the way out of the Sect, he saw Xiao Wan Wan running towards him.

"Brother Long Chen, are you going to complete our missions right now?" Xiao Wan Wan rushed in front of Long Chen and asked.

"Yeah. Why are you here for?" Long Chen lightly nodded while asking.

"Oh. I am just here to send you off. Brother Long Chen, good luck!" Xiao Wan Wan adorably smiled as she waved him goodbye.

As Long Chen was walking away, Xiao Wan Wan's smile abruptly disappeared, as she took out a communication jade and ordered, "Get some of the Sky Realm guards to protect Brother Long Chen in the dark. If he meets up with any trouble, then there is no need for you all to continue living anymore!"

Xiao Wan Wan's voice turned freezing cold in the end, and carried with it a clear chilling threat.
