Time flies, and another month has passed.
During this time, every day on the small island, the sound of Dragon Roar could be heard, often lasting nearly a whole day with scarcely any breaks.
To enhance his strength, Zhao Letian sweated profusely as he practiced relentlessly in the bamboo forest, unacquainted with fatigue or hardship.
He believes that diligent practice rewards, and although there might be some naturally gifted individuals who achieve great power without much effort, he firmly believes that many peerless powers must step by step, through earnest and strenuous practice, reach the pinnacle of Martial Arts.
Zhao Letian's talent is not weak, but he dares not be complacent or neglect his training. After all, he has many troubles to solve, whether in Qingzhou City or in the Galaxy Sect, there are those who wish him dead, to trample him underfoot, to see him fall, to deeply humiliate him. He will never let them get their wish. With undeniable strength and an overwhelming presence, he will vanquish all foes, resolve all troubles, defend his dignity, and protect his mother.
"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!"
On this day, heavy snow fell, and the bamboo forest was a blanket of white. Despite the low temperatures, Zhao Letian's body was drenched in sweat, unaware of the bone-chilling cold. With one slash, four Dragon Roars echoed, rolling up the flying snow and shooting up towards the heavens.
"Four Dragon Roars, exhilarating!"
On the western side of the island, the robust Galaxy Five Tigers, undeterred by the cold, sat shirtless in the snow practicing, feeling the suppression of the four Dragon Roars. The Martial Souls of fierce tigers within them resisted even more fiercely, triggering more of their potential and accelerating their training pace, filling their hearts with excitement.
"After a whole month, I finally managed to produce four Dragon Roars. The 'Dragon Roar Nine Sword' indeed isn't a common Xuan-level Martial Technique. The first three Dragon Roars are considered Early Stage Xuan-level Martial Techniques; the fourth to sixth are Middle Stage Xuan-level, while the seventh to ninth will likely be High Stage Xuan-level," Zhao Letian spoke breathlessly as he wiped the large beads of sweat from his forehead, his chest heaving.
The 'Dragon Roar Nine Sword' is incredibly challenging but also very powerful, definitely one of the best in sword techniques of the same level. After mastering the four Dragon Roars, Zhao Letian felt confident enough to face Lin Yun in battle. However, he couldn't guarantee victory, especially since Lin Yun is also a swordsman, but he hadn't used his sword in their last encounter, leaving Zhao Letian unsure of Lin's full strength.
However, Zhao Letian was certain that the four Dragon Roars had already elevated his strength beyond the typical True Martial Third Realm, comparable to someone who has just entered the True Martial Fourth Realm.
"Although I have greatly enhanced my strength recently, it's still not enough. My adversaries are not limited to Lin Yun. There is also Shentu Yu, who has already advanced to the True Martial Fourth Realm, and the even more formidable third-ranked Inner Sect member, Yan Peng. To confront them, I must become even stronger." Despite fighting with all his might, Zhao Letian still cannot relax and forces himself to continue striving.
However, having cultivated to this point, both his cultivation level and swordsmanship could hardly improve further in a short time. Even if he practiced several more martial techniques, the effect would not be significant. The only way to further enhance his power was either to deepen his understanding of the Dao or to deepen his comprehension of the sword intent.
"Since my rebirth, the reason why my cultivation level could improve so rapidly is primarily that my martial arts realm was higher than my cultivation level, which allowed me to cultivate smoothly up to this point. However, after advancing to the True Martial Second Realm, I found that the path ahead in my cultivation became vague." Zhao Letian sheathed his longsword and stood motionlessly in the snowy woods, silently contemplating. A!lw+ay$s. re*ad% fro+m the s$o@u-rce: M|*V-|L+E4M&P^Y@R#.!
As is well known, martial artists not only need to enhance their cultivation but also their martial arts realm. In fact, to some extent, the martial arts realm is even more critical than the cultivation level.
When the martial arts realm is reached, the cultivation level will naturally be enhanced smoothly. Conversely, if a person's cultivation level exceeds their martial arts realm, further cultivation will become very difficult. Even if they forcibly break through, their realm will be unstable, and their actual combat power limited.
Previously, Zhao Letian's martial arts realm was always higher than his cultivation level, making his cultivation extremely easy and impressively fast. However, now that his cultivation level was catching up with his martial arts realm, the path ahead became unclear. If he did not enhance his martial arts realm soon, his future cultivation speed would become very slow.
"In the True Martial Realm, the corresponding martial arts realm is 'potential.' That is to say, people in the True Martial Realm must continuously deepen their understanding of the potential until they fully comprehend it to break through the constraints of the True Martial Realm and advance to the Sect Martial Realm; otherwise, they will be trapped in the True Martial Realm forever." Zhao Letian mused. He had already comprehended the sword potential, so breaking through to the True Martial Realm was not difficult for him.
However, before his rebirth, he had only comprehended a fraction of the sword potential, and that too to a shallow extent, and he did not know how to deepen his comprehension further. After his rebirth, guided by the memories of the Dragon Clan's inheritance, his understanding of the sword potential far surpassed that of his peers.
"According to the records in the inherited memories, the sword potential comprehensible in the True Martial Realm is divided into ten levels. Before rebirth, the sword potential I comprehended was less than the first level, yet I could overpower my peers and become the top individual in the outer sect. After rebirth, I practiced the 'Dragon Roar Nine Sword' and continuously deepened my understanding of the sword potential. Now, I have reached the second level of sword intent, perfectly matching the cultivation level of True Martial Second Realm. If I want to continue rapidly enhancing my cultivation, I must first improve my understanding of the sword potential; otherwise, I can only strive through painstaking practice like ordinary people." Zhao Letian recalled the content in the inherited memories.
Accustomed to rapidly enhancing his cultivation, he definitely did not want to, like ordinary martial artists, only be able to slowly cultivate in confusion due to a shallow understanding of the Dao. Therefore, he must improve his understanding of the sword potential.
However, merely practicing swordsmanship could hardly advance his comprehension of the sword potential further. He needed to find another way.
"It is said that in Galaxy Lake there are several forbidden areas of the sect, left by the ancestors of Galaxy Sect long ago. These places may contain inheritance that can help martial artists enhance their understanding of the sword potential. It seems necessary to make a trip there soon." Zhao Letian thought.
The sect's inheritance forbidden areas are located in the core area near the Main Island, and outer sect disciples are not allowed to approach at will. If he wanted to go to those places of inheritance, he must first go to the inner area to obtain the identity token of an Inner Sect Disciple before he could proceed.
"Eh? Weiwei has already broken through to the True Martial Realm? How fast." As he was thinking, Zhao Letian suddenly sensed that Liu Wei had just broken through to the True Martial Realm, and his eyes revealed a look of pleasant surprise.
