CHAPTER 34: CHAPTER 34: THUNDER SLASH!

In the following days.

Fang Qingyu’s life completely went on track, four points in a line.

Martial Arts Hall, drive Didi, Fight Club, rental apartment.

In the Martial Arts Hall.

Lin Jiao personally instructed him in the Horizontal Saber Thirteen Forms almost every day.

So by the third day.

Successfully activated the Professional Basic Skill "Horizontal Saber Thirteen Forms."

Also, the Pile Skill Boxing did not fall behind.

The experience of the Martial Arts Apprentice profession and the Four-Dimensional Attributes all increased to some extent.

In the afternoon, drive Didi.

As he got more skilled in taking orders, he also successfully unlocked a new profession.

The basic skill learned, as Fang Qingyu thought, is Car Driving.

As for the Electric Car Driving skill, he would also find time to drive it a bit.

Successfully leveled up to Level 3 Full Level, gaining one Attribute Point.

Then there’s the Fight Club.

In these days, Lv Chen seemed to have vanished from the human world, nowhere to be seen, and no news at all.

However, it did not affect Fang Qingyu’s work.

Security Guard profession.

The profession itself and the Guard both leveled up to level 3, fully maxed out, unable to upgrade further, gaining one Attribute Point and one Skill Point.

As for the Mixed Martial Arts Fighter.

Both the profession and the skills leveled up.

Unexpectedly, the Professional Level 2 is already Full Level.

Only the Weakness Gaze can still continue to level up.

From this profession, Fang Qingyu also gained one Attribute Point, one Skill Point.

Lastly, the Fitness Enthusiast.

The profession itself and Dragon Banner both leveled up to level 3, also no longer breaking through the bottleneck.

Gained one Skill Point, one Attribute Point.

In the rental apartment.

Fang Qingyu laid on the bed, looking at his basic panel.

[Name: Fang Qingyu]

[Power: 15.3→16.7]

[Speed: 14.5→16.0]

[Physique: 14.8→16.3]

[Will: 16.3→17.5]

In these days, Fang Qingyu altogether gained 4 Attribute Points, thus added one point each in the Four Dimensions, plus the usual grinding in Pile Skill Boxing.

Such growth is not surprising.

Then he looked at the Martial Arts Apprentice’s panel.

[Profession: Martial Arts Apprentice Lv.2 (108/200)]

[Talent: Martial Seed (★)]

[Advanced Skill 1: Blood Burst Lv.2 (11/200)]

[Advanced Skill 2: Dragon Sting Breath Lv.2 (45/200)]

[Advanced Skill 3: Baji Fist LV.2 (21/200)]

[Basic Skill 1: Hidden Dragon Posture Lv.3 (55/300)]

[Basic Skill 2: Basic Boxing Lv.3 (62/300)]

[Basic Skill 3: Horizontal Saber Thirteen Forms Lv.2 (11/200)]

With the three Skill Points, Fang Qingyu spent one point on Blood Burst, upgrading it to Level 2.

One point added to Hidden Dragon Posture.

This way, the progress of Pile Skill and Boxing skills is almost evenly balanced.

The last Skill Point was added to the Horizontal Saber Thirteen Forms.

Sharpening a knife requires self-sufficiency.

Fang Qingyu deeply understands this principle.

And when the Martial Technique of Horizontal Saber comes out, by then the Didi Driver should also be upgradeable.

Finally, only two professions are left that can currently be harnessed.

[Profession: Mixed Martial Arts Fighter Lv.2 (Max)]

[Unique Skill of the Profession: Weakness Gaze Lv.2 (22/200)]

[Profession: Didi Driver Lv.1 (8/100)]

[Professional Basic Skill: Car Driving Lv.1 (21/100)]

Fang Qingyu lying on the bed, looking at the pitiful two-page panel.

Still not enough grind...

However, the Didi Driver’s working hours are flexible, and the Mixed Martial Arts Fighter’s working hours at night are also very relaxed.

Looking for a job now, it would be a little easier.

Let’s go looking tomorrow!

...

The next morning.

Chenfeng Martial Arts Hall.

Lin Jiao stood beside the weapon rack, recording video on his phone.

In front, Fang Qingyu stood bare-chested, sweat on his sword spine reflecting cold light.

The morning light slanted, making the cold iron reflect spots of light like dancing silver snakes, and the dust on the blue-brick ground swirled upwards in spiral patterns by the airflow.

The sound of the Horizontal Saber cutting through the air sometimes swirled densely like a silver python coiling around a pillar, and sometimes erupted violently like thunder ripping through silk, slicing straight down.

Lin Jiao stared at the phone screen, the camera capturing the boy’s back muscles undulating with the sword momentum like waves.

Fang Qingyu was practicing the Horizontal Saber Thirteen Forms.

When he finished practicing.

Lin Jiao sent the video, and typed a line in the chat box.

"Did you see that? Within a week, the Horizontal Saber Thirteen Forms not only got started but also reached Minor Achievement, I taught him!"

Then clicked send.

Finally put away his phone slowly.

"How about it, Lin Jiao, can I learn the Martial Technique now?"

Fang Qingyu wiped his sweat and walked up to Lin Jiao.

"Yes."

Lin Jiao nodded calmly.

While walking to the weapon rack, picking up a Horizontal Blade, he spoke.

"In the thirty-seventh year of the Ming Jiajing reign, Zhao Polu, a hundred households of the Qi family army guarding Taizhou, observed the momentum of typhoon destroying masts at sea, and created the Nine-Style Horizontal Blade Array Breaking Technique. This technique uses the waist to propel the blade, its trajectory like lightning flashing and snapping, named ’Thunder Slash’ because the sound of the blade breaking through is like the tearing of silk and thunderclap!"

Fang Qingyu listened intently, savoring the name in his heart.

"Thunder Slash..."

The name is exceedingly resounding.

Just unknown how powerful it really is.

This was the first time he heard of this saber technique, unlike the renowned Baji Fist.

"Rest assured, Thunder Slash suits your style well, its power is one of the best among non-Martial Artists!"

Having lived with Fang Qingyu for a few days, Lin Jiao already understood him quite well, knowing immediately what he was thinking.

"Watch carefully."

Just after speaking.

Lin Jiao pointed the horizontal saber diagonally at the oak wooden dummy, suddenly twisting his waist and sending his hips.

The blade edge slashed upwards from below, the blade edge sparking a series of orange-red firework by friction with the steel, plowing a thumb-deep V-shaped notch on the steel shell surface.

The second style’s horizontal slash was so fast that it was only seen as a silver flash, the steel cracked open a thirty-centimeter-long gap in response, revealing the hard ebony core inside.

The cut was charred black with carbonization, as if cut by a high-temperature welding torch.

Most terrifying was the spinning strike during the end move.

Lin Jiao used centrifugal force to swing the blade in a half-circle, the blade edge slicing into the steel, suddenly causing the ground bolts of the stationary wooden dummy to snap abruptly.

The steel-plated pile, weighing several hundred pounds, slid obliquely half a meter.

The steel base created sparking grooves on the blue-brick ground as it scratched along.

"..."

Fang Qingyu, watching, swallowed his saliva.

Is this saber technique!?

He couldn’t help but glance again at the top of Lin Jiao’s head.

[Weapon Instructor]

Hasn’t changed...

Still white.

Could it be that a Weapon Instructor is also Martial Artist caliber?

"Stop thinking about it, I’m not a Martial Artist."

Seeing Fang Qingyu’s shocked look, Lin Jiao’s mouth slightly curled up.

Receiving envious gazes from a genius boy still felt pretty good.

"This slash is solely because of speed."

Seeing Fang Qingyu’s gaze pause on the cut, Lin Jiao explained indifferently.

"As long as your Basic Knife Skill and physique catch up, you can achieve the effect of this slash, you must know, what you are learning here are killing skills!"

"Understood."

Once more shocked, Fang Qingyu nodded.

The internal combustion engine in his heart was ignited once more by this slash, throwing in the fiercest log.

Last time it was Lin Jiao’s elbow.

"Then let’s start."

Lin Jiao began anticipating how long it would take Fang Qingyu to master Thunder Slash.

She was acclaimed as a martial arts genius, and it took her more than half a month to barely get started.

"Okay."

Fang Qingyu took a deep breath.

The slashes Lin Jiao made replayed slowly, frame by frame, in his mind.

[Detection of Profession Advanced Skill "Thunder Slash" being activated (1/100)]
