【Intensive Training】

Gu Xing and Zhou Wang returned to the wooden house in the bamboo forest.

(picture here)

************************

since Gu Xing was already in the eighth level of martial arts practitioner, 6h of sleeping per day is more than enough for him.

So Gu Xing's program has changed a lot, because now he spends 2 hours a day in the [stairs of wil], he also decided to go to the outer edge of the forest.

He wanted to face real beasts, even though he was not in danger of death because of the elders patrolling the forest.

.

"Teacher, I want to go to the outer edge of the forest tomorrow," asked Gu Xing to Zhou Wang.

"No! Even though you are more powerful than the cultivators of the same age, and you can even fight against cultivators of martial master rank 3 or 4, but in the forest the weakest beasts are of martial master rank, there are even many groups of beasts of martial master rank that can slaughter a cultivator of grand martial master rank without any problem" refused Zhou Wang.

"But-" Gu Xing wanted to challenge

but he was quickly stopped by his teacher "No buts, although there are elders and some disciples who take the mission to patrol, and so death is practically impossible, but serious injury or even becoming crippled is not impossible, so I forbid you to go into the forest before reaching the level of martial master"

Zhou Wang dotted the i's and crossed the t's

Gu Xing had to obey.

After all, even though Gu Xing is young, he is not stupid after all, so he thought that it is too dangerous for him at the moment.

But Gu Xing had plenty of confidence to break through the martial master in two months, without any problem.

Gu Xing's eyes shone.

Zhou Wang noticed Gu Xing's bright eyes and quickly warned him, "Don't forget that if you reach the level of the martial master before you are 8 years old, you won't get your world baptism." Zhou Wang said in an authoritative tone.

" ... "

The brightness in Gu Xing's eyes quickly disappeared.

This teacher is really evil!

Gu Xing looked at Zhou Wang with resentful eyes.

Zhou Wang saw this look but did nothing but leave the room, going to cultivate.

.

Gu Xing finally removed the forest fight from his schedule.

*sigh*

"Too bad, it could have made me much more powerful faster" Gu Xing sighed for the fifth time.

"Come on now I have to make a new schedule from the beginning, that's so boring" Gu Xing complained again.

A loud shout was heard, "Stop complaining and cultivate instead!

It was the voice of Zhou Wang.

"Tch... this old man has such a good ear".

.

Gu Xing finally decided, .

His schedule for the moment is : He will wake up at 6:00 a.m. and then cultivate for 1 hour, after that he will train his martial arts for 2 hours, then he will go to the [stairs of will] for 2 hours, after that he will cultivate for 3 hours, Then he will focus on understanding the intention of the sword during 2h, and then he will use the lightning stone to understand the artistic conception of lightning during another 2h, then finally cultivate during 6h, and fall asleep.

Gu Xing took this program as a rule and followed it without fail.

and the results were amazing.

After only one day, he reached the 18th step of the [staircase of volition] and not too far from the 19th step, he managed to break through again in his cultivation and reached peak eight martial practitioners.

3 days later Gu Xing broke through to the early nine realm of martial practitioner, and at the same time reached step 20 on the [staircase of volition], with some difficulty.

one week later Gu Xing broke through again and reached the middle nine practitioner martial level, and also reached the step n°24 on the [staircase of volent].

2 days later Gu Xing reached the level of high nine martial practitioner.

5 days later, Gu Xing managed to create the first move of his own martial technique called "Lightning death swordsmanship", which although the technique is still incomplete, and if used in other people's hands, it would only have the power of a yellow rank technique, but in Gu Xing's hands, its power even surpassed the techniques that his teacher gave him such as "Shandian Jian".

so this martial technique is actually the strongest in his arsenal except <death sword>.

after his breakthrough Gu Xing immediately headed to the [tower of challenges] because the day before yesterday the quotas to enter the [tower of challenges] were distributed again for the month.

And Gu Xing is much more confident to pass, the next level.

After all the intensive training he did, and also thanks to the personal guidance of his teacher Zhou Wang, his understanding of the sword's intention reached 43% and his understanding of the lightning's artistic design reached a formidable 54%.

This is due to the lightning stone and Zhou Wang's guidance, which is more specialized in lightning than in sword.

Gu Xing also decided that after his stay in the [Tower of Challenges], he would go to the [Cultivation Hall] because he already has 810 sect points.

So he can stay 81 hours in the earth hall or 8 hours in the sky hall.

.

Gu Xing decided not to concentrate too much on this trivia, and that the most important thing for now is to go to the [challenge tower].

Gu Xing is confiant about improving his strength during his 18 days of training!

Gu Xing went to register for the [challenge tower], and by chance, there was no one in the tower at the moment.

So Gu Xing went in.

When he entered the tower, he was greeted by a humanoid creature.

*smile*

Gu Xing smiled and said aloud, "Let me test the technique I created during my training on you".

Gu Xing directly activated his new technique which was called <Sword of Lightning Death first move: thunder death monster>.

Gu Xing disappeared from his location and reappeared behind the humanoid creature.

*Clang* *clang*

At his reappearance, the humanoid creature's head.

"Congratulations, you have passed the second floor in 7 seconds, you will move to the next floor" .

Gu Xing smiled even more brightly.

His smile was... it was the smile of a madman!

A fighting fool!!!

❝ What a strange thing trust is! If one hears only one person, he may go astray or be mistaken; if one listens to several, they are in the same case, and usually one does not succeed in deducing the truth.❞
