Chapter 300 - 297: 3 Months
’Who else can compete?!’
At that moment,
Shen Changchuan could barely stop himself from shouting out loud!
It was simply because,
this result was such a delightful surprise!
Mastering a Sword Magic technique to Perfection in just three hours meant he could bring at least two techniques to the Realm of Perfection in a single day!
And as he perfected more and more techniques, his speed would only increase!
The more he accumulated,
the easier the path ahead would become!
And so,
without the slightest hesitation,
Shen Changchuan immediately entered seclusion to practice his techniques.
In the blink of an eye,
three months passed.
During these three months,
Master Wandering Dragon visited once and was somewhat puzzled by Shen Changchuan’s frantic dedication to practicing Tier One Techniques.
After all, Tier One Techniques were of little use in a battle between Soul Emergence Realm Cultivators. A Cultivator at that Realm could easily nullify such attacks simply by raising an ordinary Magical Power Shield.
It wasn’t an issue of one’s Magical Power Realm, but rather a matter of power conversion efficiency.
It was like a car engine; even if you filled it with jet fuel, it wouldn’t turn into a jet engine.
’Isn’t spending time on Tier One Techniques a complete waste?’
In response, Shen Changchuan explained that he was doing it to train his control over his Magical Power. He added that he was also seeking insights that might help him grasp Tier Two Magic more easily through analogy.
Regarding Shen Changchuan’s answer,
Master Wandering Dragon was noncommittal,
and didn’t try to stop him.
His teaching philosophy had always been to not interfere with his disciples’ decisions.
Besides,
’Who’s to say my young disciple doesn’t truly have the ability to gain profound insights from Tier One Techniques?’
’Anything is possible.’
’It wouldn’t be good to interfere rashly.’
Therefore, Master Wandering Dragon simply nodded,
offered a few words of guidance, and then departed.
After learning that Shen Changchuan would be focusing on this for a long time to come,
Master Wandering Dragon didn’t plan on returning anytime soon.
After all, based on his assessment,
he could tell that,
Shen Changchuan would have virtually no problem advancing to the Soul Emergence Third Layer.
And during this period,
aside from Master Wandering Dragon,
several of his senior martial brothers and sisters in the Soul Emergence Realm also came to visit.
They came to congratulate him on his advancement to the Soul Emergence Realm, engage in some friendly conversation to strengthen their relationship, and brought gifts as a show of goodwill.
It was always good to have another friend in the Soul Emergence Realm.
What’s more,
Shen Changchuan had already demonstrated his potential and strength in the previous battle.
Anyone with eyes could see that,
as long as Shen Changchuan didn’t perish prematurely,
he was destined for greatness!
Befriending a junior brother like him was certainly no disadvantage.
As for his seniors’ visits and attempts to build goodwill,
Shen Changchuan naturally wouldn’t make the idiotic decision to coldly and arrogantly refuse them.
Although he was in seclusion to practice his techniques,
it wasn’t like being in seclusion to break through a Realm, where he couldn’t be disturbed.
With his progress bar panel,
pausing to receive guests wasn’t an issue.
As for the congratulatory gifts his seniors brought,
unless they were excessively valuable, Shen Changchuan accepted them all, taking in their kind gestures.
It was never a mistake to make more friends.
However,
exchanging a few pleasantries to strengthen their ties was sufficient.
When his closer acquaintances, Wu Tianhao and Senior Brother Hong Yang, invited him to a celebratory banquet,
Shen Changchuan politely declined.
A celebratory banquet was unnecessary.
He didn’t particularly enjoy bustling occasions,
and besides, he didn’t have many close friends. Wouldn’t it be awkward if only a handful of people showed up?
Furthermore, he still needed to practice his techniques
and couldn’t spare the time.
After he explained his reasons, Wu Tianhao and Hong Yang were understanding and didn’t press the matter.
During these three months,
aside from these miscellaneous matters,
many changes had also taken place both inside and outside the Sect.
The main change within the Sect was the conclusion of the grand tournament. A group of prospective Outer Disciples of the Sect finished their three years of study and formally became Outer Disciples of the Dragon Cloud Sect.
From then on, they would have to work even harder to earn Sect Contribution Points, which they could use to exchange for the Sect’s Cultivation Resources or to receive guidance from the Sect’s Soul Emergence Realm Elders.
It was like graduating from a four-year university and officially starting a corporate job.
As for outside the Sect,
the main event was the series of shockwaves caused by the widespread news of Shen Changchuan advancing to the Soul Emergence Realm, condensing a Spirit Body and a Divine Seed, and even defeating Wu Zhen’s young disciple!
Upon hearing this news, many powers took notice.
They sent people one after another to verify the truth of the rumors.
After confirming the rumors were true,
the powers in the surrounding domains were left speechless.
Condensing a Spirit Body wasn’t that extraordinary.
Most geniuses were more or less able to successfully condense a Spirit Body upon advancing to the Soul Emergence Realm.
But on top of this, to condense a Divine Seed,
that was another matter entirely!
Condensing a Divine Seed
meant that one had already formed an Innate Divine Technique.
A Soul Emergence Realm Cultivator with an Innate Divine Technique possessed the power to completely dominate others of the same rank!
This destined them to be a nearly "invincible" existence within the Soul Emergence Realm!
Such individuals were exceedingly rare, even across all Thirty-Six Domains of the Southern Great Domain!
They could even be considered one of the leading figures among the younger generation of Cultivators!
This was why,
the news caused such a stir in the outside world after it spread.
Shen Changchuan’s existence
was now regarded by other young Soul Emergence Realm Cultivators as one of the most dangerous competitors to avoid in the upcoming entrance tournament for the Immortal Sects!
Of course,
Shen Changchuan was unaware of all the commotion
in the outside world.
He had spent nearly all of his time over the past three months focused on practicing Tier One Techniques.
He didn’t even have time to catch up on the latest gossip.
And his efforts
yielded extremely rich rewards.
In three months,
Shen Changchuan had cultivated a total of seventy-six Tier One Techniques to the Realm of Perfection!
This number
was nearly half the total number of Perfection Techniques he had started with on his progress bar panel!
The results
were equally astonishing!
Now, whenever Shen Changchuan practiced a Tier One technique from the Sword System or Wood Element,
he only needed to glance at it, circulate his power once, and cast it,
and the progress bar for that technique would instantly jump to over 60%!
This cut the time it took for him to master a Tier One technique to Perfection by at least half!
This was precisely why in these three months,
he had managed to successfully bring over seventy Tier One Techniques to Perfection.
’Three months of repeatedly practicing Tier One Techniques has gotten a little tiring...’
’It’s about time I practiced some Tier Two Magic for a change of pace!’
