Liu Wanqing brought Chen Yiming to a pavilion in the courtyard.

There was a stone table and a stone bench in the pavilion. Many peach blossom trees were planted in the space around the pavilion. The trees were taller than their heads, hiding their figures from view.

“When you left the city and went to the military camp previously, did you encounter any alien creatures that came from the lake?” Liu Wanqing asked. Her voice was soft and gentle. When she sat down, her long, white legs were revealed.

“I encountered them once,” Chen Yiming replied calmly, his gaze sweeping past her.

“How did it feel after fighting against the alien creatures from the lake?” Liu Wanqing asked again.

“They have a layer of strange scales on their bodies, so they are very difficult to deal with,” Chen Yiming said bluntly.

“That’s the alien creature’s innate bloodline ability. If it wasn’t for its special ability, their species would have been wiped out long ago.” Liu Wanqing smiled and tucked her fringe behind her ear.

Her status and her god-given appearance made her extremely charming. Her every move attracted the attention of men.

The two of them had just exchanged a few words when a staff member from the villa appeared and placed a pot of hot tea on the stone table before quickly leaving again.

“To be honest, the concept diagram of the Liu clan’s technique requires the deer antler of a bloodline mutant beast, like the silver lightning deer, to support in cultivation.” Wan Qing poured a cup of hot tea for Chen Yiming.

“Your father is a warrior candidate who has undergone nine transformations. Won’t it be easy for him to capture the silver lightning deer?” Chen Yiming took a sip of tea and asked in confusion.

“The problem is that my father is not the only one who needs it. My brothers also need it. The amount that is left to me after that is not much,” Liu Wanqing explained with a smile.

Hearing this, Chen Yiming had roughly understood Liu Wanqing’s motive for contacting him.

It just so happened that he had come into contact with the Liu clan and was thinking of ways to train with the concept diagram. Therefore, he quietly waited for her to state her conditions.

“If you are willing to join my team, I can let you read through the sword manual that the Liu clan has collected once. The concept diagram of the sword manual and the fist manual from the auction earlier were both created by

Master Wang,” Liu Wanqing stated her conditions and added, “I know that the Mantis Snake Sword School has a complete sword technique that can lead you straight to the warrior realm, but the concept diagram in it might not be suitable for you. If you have another concept diagram, it will give you an alternative path to the warrior realm.”

“What others value the most is the concept diagram, but I just want to know how to train with the concept diagram. The difference in the value of the concept diagram itselfand the method to train with it is like the difference between heaven and earth.

This woman wants me to join her team. In essence, the useful thing I can gain from this is the method of creating concept diagrams, ” Chen Yiming analyzed the situation in his heart.

As long as he was alive, he could continue to use his skill points to increase his talent over time. He was confident that as long as his talent was high enough, he only needed to know the rough method for training with the concept diagram to be able to overcome the hurdle just like how he could secretly learn sword techniques.

Therefore, there was no need for him to work for others for a long time in return for so little benefit. It would also make it easy for others to notice that something was amiss with him.

“I am not requesting a lot from you. I only need you to work with the team thrice. How about I let you read the sword manual first before you work with the team?” Wan Qing said confidently.

Chen Yiming was taken aback, and finally agreed.

The conditions offered were too generous. She didn’t need him to join the team for a long time, so Chen Yiming couldn’t think of any reason to reject her.

Liu Wanqing had given him the apartment and was now using the sword manual to entice him to help her. She might even have other tricks up her sleeve. However, having undergone six transformations and having many hidden trump cards, he was confident that he need not be worried about any tricks that she might use.

On the west side of the city, halfway up the mountain, a terrace house was built hundreds of meters high. From here, one could see most of East Lake City.

Chen Yiming was taken in Liu Wanqing’s car to the Liu clan’s house. They passed by three security checkpoints along the way and saw a total of three such terrace houses on the mountain.

After entering the house, Liu Wanqing led the way while Chen Yiming followed behind her.

“Fortunately, I’ve never thought ofsecretly breaking into the Liu clan’s house to search for the way to train with the concept diagram. ”

Along the way, he noticed at least ten pairs of eyes watching him from the shadows. These gazes quickly disappeared when they saw Liu Wanqing standing beside him.

If he was trapped, it would be difficult for him to escape no matter how strong he was.

The two of them arrived at a brown door.

The door was wide enough for four or five people to enter at the same time. It was made of some unknown material, but it felt like it was extremely heavy.

Liu Wanqing put a silver key in the keyhole and unlocked the door. Then, she led Chen Yiming into the Liu clan’s secret vault. As the two of them entered, the door automatically closed behind them.

“Wait a moment.”

Liu Wanqing used her body to block Chen Yiming’s line of sight and quickly pressed certain spots on the wall a dozen times.

“This place has a professional anti-theft system. Even if a thief steals the key, they won’t be able to get out of here alive,” Liu Wanqing smiled.

Chen Yiming surveyed his surroundings. The entire secret vault was made of metal. If one was trapped inside, it would be no different from a cage.

“This is the sword manual I told you about. I’ll give you half an hour to read through it.” Liu Wanqing took out a small book from a bookshelf and handed it to Chen Yiming.

“Thank you.” Chen Yiming took the sword manual.

On the cover of the sword manual was written three words in big black font: “Flying Feather Sword”. There was a lingering smell of ink on it, and the paper was like new. There was no sign that it had been read before.

“No one in the clan practices swordsmanship, so…” Liu Wanqing explained.

“No wonder she could take it out in exchange for my help. Fortunately, I only need the method for training with the concept diagram. IfI really wanted to cultivate this sword technique, I’m afraid I would have played right into her hands, ” Chen Yiming thought with some concern.

In his heart, he decided that once the matter was settled, he would stay far away from Liu Wanqing. This kind of woman was too sensitive. He was afraid that if he interacted with her for too long, his secrets would be discovered.

Chen Yiming kept a calm expression on his face and started to browse through the sword manual.

He followed Xiao Hengliang’s reading speed, not daring to read too fast or it

would seem strange. After about half an hour, he read through the whole book once.

The Flying Feather Sword Technique was a speed-based sword technique. It was different from the Mantis Snake Sword Technique which focused on attacking a single point rapidly.

The moves were more focused on quick attacks to multiple points, and the sword moves were like countless sharp feathers falling from the sky at the same time.

“Thank you so much. I have learned a lot from the many moves of the Flying Feather Sword Technique,” Chen Yiming said calmly, but he was secretly overjoyed.

“Have you memorized it all? Actually, it shouldn’t be a problem to exceed the allocated time.” Liu Wanqing took the sword manual and placed it back on the bookshelf.

“I should be able to remember it,” Chen Yiming replied. He didn’t know how much an ordinary person could remember after reading it once, so he didn’t say anything too certain.

“You can come whenever you want to read it. It’s not impossible to negotiate even if it’s more than three times,” Liu Wanqing glanced at him and said frankly.

The two of them quickly exited the treasure vault. Chen Yiming then rejected Liu Wanqing’s offer to drive him back in her car.

He rushed back home, barely able to control the urge to test out the new method he had learned.

There was nothing profound in the method of training with the concept diagram. The method was to first enter a meditative state and sink one’s mind into the spiritual world. Then, one could construct the image of the concept diagram stroke by stroke.

The order in which the concept diagram was constructed was something the predecessors who practiced the technique had derived from their own attempts and learning from their mistakes.

The main purpose was to reduce the spiritual pressure on the cultivator. Before one’s mind could no longer withstand the pressure and leave the spiritual world, one would have to complete the image of the concept diagram.

Others might have to practice continuously to enter a meditative state, but Chen Yiming could already achieve this easily. The figure in his mind was proof of this.

Based on what was written in the sword manual, drawing the concept diagram in one’s mind would create a heavy burden on the mind.

On the other hand, the figure in his mind was able to simulate sword techniques. Chen Yiming could not tell how different the fivo things might be.

His intuition told him that he could use the figure in his mind to directly complete the drawing of the concept diagram, and there was no need to consider the sequence of the strokes.

In Chen Yiming’s room, the door was securely locked and the curtains were drawn, ensuring that no one could look in.

Chen Yiming took out the piece of bone he had taken from Long Denghua and placed it on the table.

The reason why he didn’t stay in the treasure vault and directly cultivate the concept diagram of the Flying Feather Sword Technique was because he was afraid that he would cause some unknown commotion and cause trouble.

Chen Yiming split his attention into fivo. He stared at the drawing on the bone as his half of his mind to enter the spiritual world.

The figure in his mind sensed what was going on and suddenly underwent a transformation. It turned into threads that dispersed and covered the entirety of his spiritual world.

The next moment, the threads started to move. A lightning pattern appeared out of nowhere. Chen Yiming himself had not done anything from the start to the end.

” What’s going on? The figure in my mind directly turned into the picture on the bone!” Chen Yiming was shocked.

He had previously guessed that the figure could complete the concept diagram in his place.

In addition, the concept diagram constructed in his spiritual world was very different from what was depicted in the sword manual. The sword manual had contained only the general outline of the concept diagram.

The lightning pattern formed by the figure in his mind was vivid and lifelike, seeming even more real than the picture on the bone.

“The figure in my mind isn’t actually any special ability, but a manifestation of my ovvn consciousness.” Chen Yiming immediately understood what was going on. At the same time, a new doubt surfaced in his mind. “Is this figure a result ofmy transmigration, or is it a result ofmy swordsmanship talent?’

Before he could figure it out, his spiritual world undervvent another change.

The lightning pattern formed by the figure in his mind started to move slowly. Suddenly, the air felt electrified and additional bolts of lightning appeared out of nowhere.

Then, the bolts of lightning continued to increase in length, and the missing half of the pattern on the bone was gradually filled in. Finally, an ocean appeared below the lightning pattern.

At the same time, in the real world, Chen Yiming was splitting his attention into two. He saw that sparks of electricity started to appear all over his body.

The electrical sparks could move along the surface of his body like the flow of water, but after a few seconds, the electricity ran out and the sparks disappeared as if they had never existed.

“Could this be… internal force?’ Chen Yiming asked doubtfully, but quickly dismissed the thought. “How could internal force be so weak? It only lasted for a few seconds. ”

He forced himself to calm down and carefully recalled all the knowledge related to martial arts he had learned in his mind.

The core of the first stage of martial arts was to teach people to combine the strength from all the muscles in their body into a single force. The strength of the muscles was a manifestation of one’s physical strength outside of their body. Such a force was simply called the external force.

Chen Yiming didn’t know much about the second stage of martial arts, the warrior realm. However, he had heard the term “internal force practitioner” many times.

This meant that the core of the warrior realm was probably internal force, and internal force was probably formed by the combination of the electric sparks that had appeared all over his body.

“I have only reached the sixth transformation, so I’m still far from the ninth transformation. Perhaps the power created by my body is still insufficient to form the internal force.” Chen Yiming made a guess.

As Chen Yiming broke away from the state of recalling his martial arts knowledge, he felt that his body had become weak.

At the same time, his spiritual world shook a little. The pattern of lightning striking the ocean gradually faded away, and soon, it transformed back into a small figure.

“Ha!” Chen Yiming let out a breath as he felt the feedback from his body. “My guess was right. The cultivation technique for the warrior realm is based on concept diagrams. My body is too weak to withstand such an exertion at this point.”

No power was created out of nothing. Muscle strength required the body’s energy to be depleted, and the new force he had created was naturally not an exception.

This was in line with the law of conservation of energy that Chen Yiming had learned in his previous world.

“I have already figured out the path to the warrior realm. What I need to do next is to speed up the transformation of my body and achieve the ninth transformation as soon as possible,” Chen Yiming muttered to himself. His eyes were shining with excitement, as though a bright light had appeared out of nowhere.

The next day, Chen Yiming urgently needed to speed up the transformation of his body, so he didn’t go anywvhere during the day. Instead, he found a secluded spot and started to practice the latest version of the Chen Style Sword

Technique from the moment the sky turned light.

The latest version of the Chen Style Sword Technique incorporated the Water

Splitting Sword Technique, the Forward Reverse Sword Technique, the Nine

Tides Sword Technique, the Thunder Sword Technique, and the Flying Feather Sword Technique.

This was especially true for the last two sword techniques at the level of the warrior realm, which allowed the Chen Style Sword Technique to improve by more than one level with each move. The speed at which he obtained Skill Points increased from 5 points per month to 25 points per month, which was an improvement of five times of the original speed.

Chen Yiming had no opponent to test out the power of the attacks on, but his intuition told him that no one in the disciple realm would be able to block any of his moves. Even the warrior candidates who had undergone nine transformations were no exception.

Although the concept diagram of the Flying Feather Sword Technique in his memory was already unclear, he could still complete it with the special ability of the figure in his mind.

At the same time, Chen Yiming realized that although the two concept diagrams were repelling each other slightly, there were no problems for the time being.

He had already expected that to be the case. The human body was like a container of water, and the total amount would not change. Unless the capacity of the container increased, the amount of power it could hold would be fixed.

If he continued to cultivate multiple sword techniques at the level of the warrior realm, the power from constructing multiple concept diagrams would coexist within his body.

Even if there was no conflict, compared to other people who cultivated based on a single concept diagram, his internal force for each technique would definitely be less than that of others.

Chen Yiming had been alternating between training and recuperating throughout the day. He only returned home in the evening.

As soon as he got home, Chen Yiming received a call from Shi Changyi, who had invited him to a meal.

He did not know where Shi Changyi had gotten his phone number from, but

Wei Chaoyuan had told him yesterday that Shi Changyi’s father was a big boss.

Coincidentally, he needed to speed up his transformation which would involve some rare mutant beast meat. He would be wasting his time searching for the rare mutant beast meat alone, and there was no need for that.

Chen Yiming thought that Shi Changyi might bring about an unexpected surprise, so he decided to go..
