Fantasy: One Effort, Ten Thousand Times Critical Hit Harvest!

Chapter 36: Opening the Ming Blade Sect!

The cold wind howled.

Before the massive blade mark, there was a serene quiet.

Occasionally, someone would stand up regretfully and turn to leave.

Luo Mu’s right hand touched the blade mark.

This way of feeling could be more profound.

Had it been before, he might have been like most people, unable to comprehend anything, finding the marks before him indistinguishable from ordinary ones.

But now, he possessed the blade momentum.

Thus, the starting point was completely different.

In his eyes, the originally ordinary blade mark seemed to gradually come to life, beginning to vibrate, twist, and even rotate!

Faintly, there were also vague sounds echoing!

“One stream is first-rate, the blade is first-rate!”

“The blade is first-rate, the person is first-rate!”

“Indeed… it’s first-rate!”

The voices were deep and resonant, like an ancient bronze bell, ringing loudly.

Whether it was an illusion or not,

Luo Mu felt a robust figure seemingly appearing in his mind.

His left arm was empty.

In his right hand, he held a blade.

After one slash… the earth cracked… the heavens collapsed!

“This slash!”

Luo Mu breathed heavily and fervently.

Up to now, he had never seen such an exquisite blade technique that could influence the heavens and earth!

But… it was too profound!

Even now, it would be difficult for him to grasp even a trace of its intricacies in a short time!

However, Luo Mu did not feel discouraged.

This was just the beginning.

There was still time and opportunity.

As long as he continued to delve into his comprehension, he would surely gain something!

Approximately three hours later.

Luo Mu’s originally motionless body suddenly trembled, and his pupils enlarged and contracted briefly.

He temporarily exited his state of comprehension.

Finally, he had grasped a hint.

The blade momentum within him had also risen a bit.

Indeed, this blade mark could help martial artists comprehend blade momentum and enhance their understanding of it!

“Ding!”

“You focused wholeheartedly, delving into the traces of the Blade King. You had an epiphany, triggering a critical hit and gaining a forty-fold reward!”

The system’s notification echoed in his mind.

At the same time, a wealth of insights flooded in.

It was equivalent to comprehending it forty times.

His blade momentum surged dramatically.

“So fast!”

Luo Mu’s lips curled upward. Before coming here, his blade momentum was at ten percent, but now he had already reached halfway.

Accumulating that, with about two hundred times the reward,

he estimated he would reach twenty percent blade momentum!

“Continue to comprehend!”

Luo Mu was filled with excitement.

He immersed himself back into his understanding.

Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, five days passed.

In the King’s Chasm, the river continued to rush eastward, occasionally crashing against the banks, stirring up countless waves.

Its sound was like muffled thunder.

It was as if the roar came from the heavens and the earth.

Before the blade marks,

people came and went every day.

The number remained close to a hundred.

Luo Mu still sat cross-legged there.

His gains had been quite good.

The blade momentum within him had already risen to thirty percent!

But he knew the blade marks still had room for comprehension; he was far from reaching his limit.

He had finally stumbled upon such an excellent place for cultivation.

How could he waste it?

He had to grasp it fully!

“Isn’t that a disciple from Changle Academy?”

Someone with sharp eyes recognized Luo Mu by his clothing.

“Yeah, he’s been here for five days, not eating or drinking, and hasn’t even stood up to stretch.”

Someone nodded, admiration evident in their tone.

Not everyone could persist for so long.

Firstly, the body couldn’t take it, and secondly, mental fatigue made it impossible to concentrate.

Thus, most people, after comprehending for two or three days without any gains, would leave in frustration.

Occasionally, those well-prepared would stay a bit longer.

This is why these people noticed Luo Mu before the blade marks.

“If he can persist for so long, it seems he has gained something.”

Upon hearing this, many people showed envy in their eyes.

The traces left by the formidable Blade King, regardless of how great or small the gains, would surely be invaluable.

“It’s a pity that the recruitment conditions for the academy are too strict; otherwise, I would genuinely want to join the academy to learn.”

Someone lamented.

Unlike sects, the academy was directly under the imperial court, offering generous welfare and treatment.

It was said that even mid-tier Profound Rank martial skills could be learned.

As they chatted,

the ground suddenly began to tremble slightly.

Everyone hurriedly looked toward the sound.

Their pupils constricted.

They saw over twenty people walking toward them in unison.

Each of them carried double blades on their backs.

Their expressions were serious.

“It’s the Opening Ming Blade Sect!”

Someone recognized them.

Instinctively, they took a step back.

The disciples of the Opening Ming Blade Sect all carried double blades, and their uniforms were standardized, making them easily identifiable.

“What are they here for?”

“Surely to comprehend the blade marks.”

No sooner had this thought crossed their minds than the group from the Opening Ming Blade Sect had already approached closely.

The leader,

with sharp eyes and long black hair tied in braids,

scanned the crowd.

He couldn’t help but frown.

Because there were too many people.

Moreover, there were no good spots available.

The nearest spots to the blade marks were all occupied.

“Ten breaths of time; get out of here quickly!”

This person took a deep breath, his voice cold.

“Why should we?”

Someone instinctively retorted.

The blade marks left by the king were recognized as ownerless property, as decreed by the governor of Fengdu County.

Thus far, no faction had claimed them for themselves.

Martial artists who came to comprehend them had always followed the rule of first come, first served.

If there was no space, they would wait.

“Because of the blade in my hand!”

Without any visible motion, the blade was already drawn.

With a horizontal slash through the air,

the speaker’s right arm was severed, blood spraying out!

“You!”

Everyone was instantly shocked and furious.

This was too domineering!

“Only nine breaths left; if you don’t leave, don’t blame me for being merciless with my blade!”

“Next time, it will be your heads!”

Qi Yun sheathed his blade.

His expression was cold and indifferent.

Seeing everyone hurriedly retreating to the sides,

Qi Yun nodded in satisfaction.

He relished the feeling of being feared, where everyone viewed him as a fierce tiger or a wolf; it truly made one feel euphoric.

However, he wasn’t just randomly driving people away.

The martial artists present today were mostly at the Body Refinement Realm, with a few at the True Aperture Realm at most.

And he was already at the ninth level of the True Aperture Realm.

He was quickly approaching the Spirit Sea Realm.

Many of his junior brothers were also at least at the sixth level of the True Aperture Realm.

So there was no need to hold back.

He could simply chase people away!

Every so often, the sect would send disciples to the King’s Chasm to observe the traces of the Blade King.

And today was his turn to lead.

“Senior Brother, there’s still one person who hasn’t left.”

A junior brother behind him said.

Qi Yun turned to look.

He saw that there was still one person sitting in front of the blade marks.

“Seems to be an academy disciple, but just from the outer palace.”

The junior brother seemed to have identified something through the clothing, and his voice dropped a little.

“What are we afraid of? Let him leave; so what if he’s an academy disciple?”

Qi Yun said coldly.

Since the establishment of the Martial Alliance, sect powers had gained a backbone, and there was no need to fear the academy too much now.

Moreover, he was just an outer palace disciple.

Even if they killed him, it wouldn’t necessarily lead to any major consequences!
