Immortality Martial Arts: I Started with the Five Animals Health Fist

Chapter 67: Chapter 60: The Iron-Cutting Sword with Profound Mastery!_2

As for not asking for a raise, the reason is simple: the money earned from forging is still far from sufficient for his cultivation needs. Su Changkong continued to practice forging every day, simply because he loved forging and treated it as a form of cultivation!

Through forging, he tempered his body and mind into steel!

“Quitting time! Quitting time!”

In the afternoon, a day’s hard work came to an end. Su Changkong wiped a trace of sweat from his forehead with a towel and left the workshop.

Five Animal Frolics, Practicing Blade, and Turtle Breath Technique had all become a part of Su Changkong’s life!

In the courtyard, Su Changkong practiced his blade technique.

With a flick of his toe, Su Changkong sent a fist-sized pebble flying into the air.

And at that moment, Su Changkong suddenly struck with his sword!

“ShhShhShh!”

A series of blade gleams poured out like flowing light, each strike so fast it nearly surpassed the catch of the naked eye, with each embodying a combination of speed and skill, presenting a visually delightful beauty.

The fist-sized pebble, hanging in midair, was enveloped by the light of Su Changkong’s sword, unable to fall to the ground, as if frozen in place amidst the scattering stone chips.

Su Changkong was fully focused, continuously swinging his blade at high speed. He breathed steadily, his hands never tired, and his eyes did not blink. The heavy Iron-Cutting Sword felt weightless in his hands!

If outsiders could see this, they would find it unbelievable that a youth could possess such profound mastery of the blade!

Only after more than a dozen breaths did Su Changkong abruptly sheath his sword after hundreds of strikes. The pebble fell, and he reached out to catch it.

The pebble was hot to the touch, its surface heated from the relentless cutting and friction.

Upon closer inspection, the once irregular, angular stone had shrunk in size but had transformed into a perfect sphere!

Exquisitely perfect, as if naturally formed, or as if it had been carefully polished by a craftsman!

However, it was not crafted by a craftsman but was shaped by Su Changkong using the Iron-Cutting Blade within a dozen breaths!

To use a heavy Iron-Cutting Sword to sculpt a pebble into a regular spherical shape was simply astounding, unheard of! It could only be attributed to Profound Mastery, in four words!

Iron Cutting Blade Technique (7th realm Profound Mastery 1%)

“My Iron Cutting Blade Technique has finally reached the seventh realm.”

Feeling the smooth spherical stone in his hand, a smile couldn’t help but surface on Su Changkong’s lips.

During this summer, Su Changkong’s blade technique had advanced further, moving into the realm of Profound Mastery.

Su Changkong’s skill with the blade had become an extension of his own limbs; even wielding the cumbersome Iron-Cutting Sword, he could carve exquisite patterns onto a piece of soft tofu!

The progress in Five Animal Frolics and Turtle Breath Technique required accumulation, like the growth of a body, which could not happen overnight, nor could you become fat in one gulp!

But there were no such limits to the progress of skills.

Like with Martial Arts cultivation, even if one has poor talents, given a massive amount of resources, it is possible to build an average Martial Artist up to the Divine Strength Realm or even achieve Body Refinement Great Achievement.

Yet, techniques like the Blade Technique and Martial Arts Skills, which fall under the category of skill, cannot merely be built up with resources—if you don’t learn it, you simply don’t learn it!

Even with guidance from a famous teacher, if one has poor talents and comprehension, their progress is limited. To a certain extent, advancing to a higher level in Martial Arts Skills is even more difficult than advancing in Martial Arts Realms once a certain level is reached!

With a potential value as high as 15 points, Su Changkong undoubtedly possesses Martial Arts genius-level talents and comprehension, which is why he could achieve such a level in his blade technique at a young age.

“With this kind of blade technique, it must be difficult for others of the same realm to match me, right?”

Su Changkong thought to himself, but he didn’t become arrogant or complacent. He knew that there would always be someone better and that continuously improving oneself was the true path to strength!

“Tomorrow I will make a trip to Clearwater City; I hope it won’t be a wasted journey!”

Su Changkong finished practicing with the blade. As night fell and everyone else drifted into sleep, Su Changkong also lay down early and practiced the Turtle Breath Technique to restore his spirit and strength, for he needed to meet Wang Yun the next day.

The next morning, Su Changkong set out early for Clearwater City to meet with County Magistrate Wang Yun.

“Mr. Wen, you look even healthier than when I last saw you a few days ago.”

Wang Yun said with a smile.

Su Changkong had been working with Wang Yun for two months. In that time, Su Changkong had killed a total of six Black Lotus Sect disciples without a single slip-up, which greatly impressed Wang Yun with Su Changkong’s efficiency!

“What about the information this time?”

Su Changkong cut straight to the point.

“The information we’ve received this time is different from before; there are two Black Lotus Sect disciples.”

Wang Yun said hesitantly as he took out a scroll and handed it to Su Changkong. “Two?”

Su Changkong’s interest was piqued—two Black Lotus Sect disciples meant 2000 taels of silver!

Of course, Su Changkong didn’t let his guard down. He knew he had to be careful, or he might capsize in the gutter.

Su Changkong took the scroll and unrolled it, examining the contents carefully.

“Gong Yangmo and his brother Gong Yang Sun, both hailing from the Gong Yang family in Nanwang City, have practiced Martial Arts since childhood. They were local tycoons but gave their entire fortune to the Black Lotus Sect and became disciples. Half a month ago, they appeared in Huonan village, conducting public trials and burning several villagers who openly opposed the Black Lotus Sect alive.”

“According to the information, the two are currently residing in Maple Leaf Town, four hundred miles from Clearwater City, where they frequent the Maple Leaf Building every night to indulge in pleasures.”

After perusing the information for a while, Su Changkong nodded slightly.
