After 10 days, Phantom Dodge finally appeared in the column of pending martial arts.
Moreover, Yang Yi requested feedback from the Crimson Afterglow Technique 10 times a day. He saved the remaining spirit accumulation points.
Without hesitating, he spent 500 spirit accumulation points to learn it.
Martial art: Phantom Dodge (learned)
Realm: Beginner (1/100)
Characteristics: Timid
Quality: Body Tempering martial art
Feedback: None (auto-feedback requires 24 hours)
Although they were both Body Tempering martial arts, Phantom Dodge was obviously on a lower level than the Mountain-hugging Fist.
This resulted in the experience points required to level up being less.
It was a total of 100 experience points. If he was a more ruthless, he could definitely break through in three to five days!
Yang Yi looked at the martial arts that had been enlightened and tried to request for feedback 10 times.
[Your Phantom Dodge has improved after a day of painstaking cultivation. Experience +1.]
...
It was a customary "Experience +1". No special events were triggered.
Yang Yi repeated this 10 times.
[Your Phantom Dodge has improved after a day of painstaking cultivation. Experience +1.]
...
The feedback message was the same as the last one.
He tried 20 times, but no special events were triggered.
Yang Yi temporarily lost interest in trying again.
Perhaps this stable cultivation style that did not trigger special events was related to the characteristic of the Phantom Dodge.
It was bright outside the wooden hut.
A warm wind blew past.
The grass and trees rustled.
Yang Yi sat cross-legged on the corridor and quietly enjoyed it.
Then, he took out the clarity pill from the wooden box next to him.
He had been bitterly cultivating during this period of time and had forgotten about this pill.
The clarity pill had the effect of removing impurities and consolidating the realm of a martial artist who had broken through.
In fact, the effectiveness of any pill depended on not only the pill itself, but also the user's physique.
Not everyone could exert 100 percent of the medicinal effects of a pill. For an ordinary person like Yang Yi, whose physique was average, he could only absorb 30 to 40 percent of the medicinal effects. The better the pill he ate, the more wasteful it would be.
However, he could let the Crimson Afterglow Technique help him cultivate the medicinal effects and then feed it back to his body without any side effects, that was another matter. A single pill could even exert the effects of five to six pills.
Zhuang Chenglu had once said that it was not appropriate to eat too many pills. Medicine was somewhat poisonous, according to her. However, to Yang Yi, the benefits were still greater than the disadvantages.
He did not deliberately pursue it. If he encountered a pill that had the right effects, he would eat it. There was no need to worry too much.
Yang Yi swallowed the clarity pill in one gulp.
He felt the clear and cold medicinal effect that was gradually surging up in his body.
He immediately entered the state of circulating his cultivation.
Three days passed.
The medicinal effects of the clarity pill was completely refined.
With the help of the Crimson Afterglow Technique, Yang Yi obtained several times the benefits of a single pill, and his body felt extremely relaxed.
It was as if he had taken a step towards the so-called stainless body.
And the Phantom Dodge had also successfully broken through to the intermediate stage through the daily feedback of 30 times!
The current Yang Yi was able to make his body automatically react to the moment when danger was approaching.
However, the range of dodging was not large. It was useless against an opponent's torrential rain of areal attacks.
Even so, Yang Yi was very satisfied. This martial art was a unique move. It was usually useless, but when used at a critical moment, it had the effect of turning the world around.
Yang Yi opened his attribute panel.

He opened his martial arts panel again.

After a few days of testing, Yang Yi found that the probability of the Phantom Dodge triggering a special event was indeed lower.
However, this could not be said to be a bad thing. Steadily gaining experience was better than going out and having fun all day long.
Yang Yi looked at the data on the panel for a while.
Then, he got up and left the wooden hut. He headed towards the sect.
Xu Menghua had already returned. Before he left, he had mentioned that after he returned, he would like Yang Yi to make a trip there.
Yang Yi arrived at Xu Menghua's residence with ease.
He saw the middle-aged man with graying sideburns.
"I'm here."
Sandalwood fragrance filled the air inside the study room.
Xu Menghua was taking care of the work that had piled up in the Mission Hall.
Yang Yi bowed to him.
Their current relationship was a little like a master and disciple.
However, the manager of the Mission Hall was not qualified to take in disciples, and Xu Menghua was a person who kept his work and personal affairs separate. Even though he liked Yang Yi a lot, he always kept a certain distance from him and did not interfere too much with Yang Yi's cultivation.
"I heard that you defeated Gu He on the training field? He cultivated the Mountain-hugging Fist as well, but he did not realize its full potential. He's average, if you ask me. You just broke through to the Bone Refining stage, and yet you were able to defeat him. It shows how talented you are. But you can't be arrogant. In the sect, there are many people who are more talented than you."
Xu Menghua raised his eyes and looked at Yang Yi. Although his words were harsh, there was some admiration in his eyes.
"Yes, I will remember it," Yang Yi respectfully replied.
"Since you have already broken through to the Bone Refining stage, it is time to consider the next matter. Have you done any understanding of the nine Inner Courts?" Xu Menghua changed the topic.
"I have, but I don't know the details." Yang Yi scratched his head.
Up until now, the one he had the most contact with was the Harmony Court. He knew that the disciples of the Harmony Court were good at cultivating pills.
"The strengths of the nine Inner Courts are quite similar. However, because the different court masters, they each have their own emphasis. For example, the disciples of the Harmony Court are skilled in pill cultivation, the disciples of the Diligent Mountain Court focus on physical cultivation, the Dao Yang Court dabbles in Formations, and so on. If you choose the right Inner Court, it will be of great benefit to your future cultivation."
Xu Menghua's gaze was gentle, as if he was recalling. "I came from the Diligent Mountain Court. Logically speaking, I would prefer you to go to the Diligent Mountain Court. Furthermore, you also focus on physical cultivation, so it that suits you. Of course, if you have other thoughts, you can also follow your heart."
He did not have the intention of restricting Yang Yi's choice. He only provided a suggestion from someone who had experience.
The Diligent Mountain Court placed great emphasis on physical cultivation, as well as actual combat. If the disciples in the court did not have any other missions, they would have a monthly quota for hunting demonic beasts. Compared to the other Inner Courts, it was considered the strictest.
Therefore, in the same level, the disciples of the Diligent Mountain Court were the most valiant.
Such valiance might not have an obvious advantage in the competitions inside the sect, but the disciples of the other Inner Courts could not compare to them when it came to winning at all costs in actual combat.
"The Diligent Mountain Court is indeed a good suggestion. However, I don't know whether the court master would accept me... Moreover, I have just broken through to the Bone Refining stage not long ago. There is still some time before I can break through to the Spiral Force realm. I want to think about it for a while before making a decision." Yang Yi knew that Xu Menghua was being. He did not burn his bridges.
"Hahaha, that's true. It's still too early to talk about this."
Xu Menghua laughed and ended the topic. Then, he stood up and told Yang Yi the purpose of calling him over.
"As mentioned earlier, I come from the Diligent Mountain Court. When I was in the Inner Courts, I often went into the mountains to hunt demonic beasts. After a while, I became familiar with some of the gangs in the nearby towns."
"These gangs fight demonic beasts all day long and have honed their skills. Every year, there is a demon slaying party. Firstly, it is considered as entertainment. Secondly, it can also train the younger generation of the gangs. I have a spot there and I want you to participate."
