Chapter 4: 3 Years and 5 Years
"Get out of here!"
Seeing Si Gu Jian get angry, Ye Chengfeng felt a chill run down his spine.
He thought to himself, "Was I too harsh? If he really attacks, I can't beat him!"
With this thought in mind, Ye Chengfeng did not hesitate and turned to leave.
He has now reached the peak efficiency in gaining proficiency in basic sword techniques, although he wants to receive guidance from Si Gu Jian to take it to the next level.
But I've gone too far right now, and if I stay here, I'm sure I'll suffer the consequences.
"where you go?"
"Get over there and practice your swordsmanship."
"what!"
Ye Chengfeng wanted to say a few more words in rebuttal, but seeing Si Gu Jian's gaze, he didn't dare to do so.
He had no choice but to obediently walk to the thatched hut and begin practicing his swordsmanship in the open space.
This was the very place where Wang Xi first practiced swordsmanship, and he saw Ye Chengfeng coming over.
Wang Xi was itching to get his hands on the sword. He was extremely passionate about it, but when he looked around and saw swords, he realized that Ye Chengfeng's sword control technique was "useless"!
However, he did not think so. In Wang Xi's view, sword control was a skill that only grandmasters could master.
But Ye Chengfeng mastered it at the sixth rank, so what if he doesn't have offensive power!
However, Wang Xi did not greet Ye Chengfeng, as he was rather taciturn by nature.
Even though she greatly admired Ye Chengfeng, she wouldn't take the initiative to go over and greet him.
And what about Ye Chengfeng?
He was the opposite of Wang Xizhi—taciturn and, to put it bluntly, averse to trouble, and extremely purposeful in his actions.
Naturally, he wouldn't take the initiative to greet Wang Xi.
The two stood not far from each other, each practicing their swordsmanship.
Ye Chengfeng is different from before. In the past, he couldn't practice for very long before he needed to stop and rest.
Now, the panel has rewarded me with a lot of physique and true qi, and my body is no longer like it was when I first transmigrated.
He practiced his swordsmanship until dusk!
Ye Chengfeng glanced at the sky and prepared to sheathe his sword and go home.
He didn't even think about saying goodbye to Si Gu Jian before leaving; he simply put away his wooden sword and prepared to go home.
"Halt! You don't need to go back anymore. Stay at the Sword Lodge!"
Although Si Gu Jian kept his eyes closed to rest, he kept a close eye on Ye Chengfeng.
Seeing that Ye Chengfeng was about to leave, he immediately spoke up to stop him.
"Stay at the Sword Lodge?"
Ye Chengfeng was quite surprised by this.
Si Gu Jian was also afraid; this kid had gone home again and hadn't come to Jianlu for several years.
With him watching Ye Chengfeng practice swordsmanship, the kid surely won't continue practicing that 'Sword Control Technique'!
Ye Chengfeng simply said "Oh".
Being able to stay at the Sword Pavilion would naturally be advantageous for him.
Since Si Gu Jian allowed him to stay at the Sword Pavilion, does that mean that if he has any questions about swordsmanship in the future, he can directly ask Si Gu Jian for advice?
Ye Chengfeng called out to Xiao Lan, and Xiao Lan immediately poked her head out from the bamboo door next to her.
She knew her young master's health best. Seeing Ye Chengfeng practicing swordsmanship for so long, how could Xiao Lan not feel at ease?
"Young Master, are we really going to stay at the Sword Lodge?"
As she spoke, she timidly glanced at Si Gu Jian.
For the people of Dongyi City, Si Gu Jian was like a god.
Xiao Lan and others mostly felt awe towards Si Gu Jian, so it's normal for Xiao Lan to be so reserved in front of him.
"What else can we do? We can't beat him!"
Xiao Lan glanced again in Si Gu Jian's direction and weighed the frying pan in her hand.
"Alright, young master, I'll go home and get some daily necessities."
After saying that, Xiaolan disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Ye Chengfeng naturally went to find Yun Zhilan. Since he was going to stay at the Sword Pavilion, he had to be given a place to stay!
Si Gu Jian looked in the direction Xiao Lan had left.
"This is ridiculous! Using a frying pan as a sword?"
If he wasn't mistaken, the posture Xiaolan instinctively adopted just now was the starting stance of the Four Directions Sword Technique.
"This girl's talent is quite good; she's already reached the seventh rank!"
-----------------
"Thirteen Lang, you can't do this well either!"
Ye Chengfeng held his sword horizontally to his side, while nine wooden swords floated around him.
Looking at Wang Xi, who stood opposite Ye Chengfeng, his robes were covered with countless sword marks.
"I am now a ninth-rank martial artist. Even if we spar without using true qi, I shouldn't be completely powerless against you."
Wang Xi's gaze toward Ye Chengfeng was somewhat complicated.
Five years later, Wang Xi's martial arts realm has already surpassed Ye Chengfeng's.
He broke through to the ninth rank a year ago, and now he could break through to the upper ninth rank at any time.
However, even without using his true energy, he was still completely overwhelmed by Ye Chengfeng, who had just entered the eighth rank.
Before Ye Chengfeng could answer, Xiao Lan said arrogantly, "Hmph, Xiao Wang, you want to compare yourself with my young master? My young master is a genius in swordsmanship."
Xiao Lan, hands on her slender waist, faced Wang Xi, looking every bit like a spoiled young lady.
After saying that, he turned to look at Ye Chengfeng and immediately changed his expression.
She was as obedient as a kitten, and stepped forward to help Ye Chengfeng.
In five years, Ye Chengfeng had become completely immune to radiation damage.
His basic swordsmanship has broken through to level 1000, and he has now reached level 121 of the first job advancement.
Furthermore, Ye Chengfeng discovered that once the basic swordsmanship reaches level 500, the required proficiency for each level no longer increases.
As he had guessed, the level of basic swordsmanship does not increase the power of the swordsmanship or the realm of swordsmanship.
To be precise, this is true after level 500.
But the rewards for every ten levels have never been absent.
Especially when the level reaches 1000, the panel rewards one point of sword energy.
This brand-new attribute caused a tremendous transformation in Ye Chengfeng's true energy.
In the past, even if he didn't cultivate internal energy, the radiation energy would still continuously enter his body.
Especially after he has exhausted his true energy, the true energy he recovers will be gradually eroded by the radiation.
For a time, Ye Chengfeng's internal energy was even eroded to the point that it was indistinguishable from the internal energy of martial artists in this world.
Until half a year ago, the panel rewarded me with a little bit of sword aura attribute.
Ye Chengfeng discovered that he could use his sword energy to isolate the radiation energy.
Ye Chengfeng then spent half a year restoring his internal energy to its level before the radiation energy erosion.
The true qi cultivated from radiation energy is far less powerful than Ye Chengfeng's true qi.
The radiation energy is violent and the attack power is strong. Originally, Ye Chengfeng's attack power would have obviously declined after he recovered.
However, his true energy was fused with a bit of sword energy, so its power not only did not weaken, but was slightly enhanced.
"Alright, Xiaolan, Thirteen Lang is at least a ninth-rank martial artist. Be careful he doesn't beat you up."
Xiao Lan rubbed her nose and said with a defiant look, "Hmph, he's a ninth-rank official, but he doesn't act like I am."
"Alright, stop fooling around. You guys come here, I have something to tell you."
Si Gu Jian couldn't stand it any longer and pretended to scold him.
Faced with Si Gu Jian, Xiao Lan immediately cowered.
"Okay, Master!"
That's right, Xiao Lan was also taken in as a disciple by Si Gu Jian. Looking at the sword at her waist, the hilt was shaped like a small frying pan.
According to Xiaolan, she wouldn't feel comfortable using a sword unless it had a frying pan symbol on it.
Seeing Si Gu Jian suddenly call them, Ye Chengfeng looked over.
Although Si Gu Jian concealed it well, he still saw through the clues.
"Does he have something important to tell me?"
Recalling Yun Zhilan's sudden visit to Si Gu Jian last night, it's basically confirmed.
