Chapter 6

It was common for an ordinary person to take one or two years to advance from the fourth tier to the fifth tier. For example, Hong Kuan.

But now, he only needed three days to cross this stage. It was almost a hundredfold shorter. It was too heaven-defying!

"I only need a week to surpass Hong Kuan. But the battle of the physical body realm is not only about cultivation. Martial skills are also very important. I almost lost today. If I want to win the next time I meet him, I have to learn martial skills. "

After two years of not being able to condense any elemental energy, Gu Chen only wanted to work hard and shorten the distance between him and others, especially Ye Qingshuang.

Thinking of his own shortcomings, he suddenly had an idea.

"The Tianchen Manifestation Art has the 88 Levels of Heaven Secret Skills, and each of them is an earth-shattering skill. Instead of learning martial skills that only have some effect in the Physical Body Realm, why not try the Secret Skills?"

He immediately closed his eyes, and the contents of the 88 levels of secret skills appeared in his mind.

If the Art of Celestial Manifestation borrowed the power of the stars to cultivate, elemental energy was still the foundation. The 88 levels of secret skills, on the other hand, were the specific use of celestial energy.

Gu Chen skimmed through it. The difficulty of cultivating the Secret Skill of Thirty-three Levels of Heaven was extremely high. Most of the Secret Skills either required a special astronomical environment or specific cultivation requirements. Otherwise, it was simply too difficult to understand, and he had no clue about it at all.

The only thing that he could understand was the first level of secret skills — Sun and Moon Refining.

The contents of this level of secret skills were all-encompassing and involved a wide variety of aspects.

For example, by borrowing the divine power of the rising sun and the purple aura from the east, one could cultivate the wonderful Purple Polarity Eyes.

Moonlight Soul Refining Technique, by borrowing the mysterious power of the moon, one could temper one's soul and increase one's mental strength.

Stars and Moon Stride, faster than Shrinking Earth to an Inch. After mastering it, even wind and lightning would not be able to catch up.

Sun and Moon Embracing Hammer was an extremely powerful martial skill, far superior to those mortal martial skills of the physical body realm.

The entire secret art involved ocular techniques, soul nurturing techniques, martial techniques, movement techniques, and so on. It was close to the Dao, and comprehending just a tiny bit of it would surpass the ultimate techniques of ordinary sects.

Gu Chen carefully comprehended and discovered that he couldn't even scratch the surface of the Moon Treading Stars Steps and the Sun Embracing Moon Cradling Hammer. The Purple Polarity Pupils and the Moonlight Soul Refining Technique didn't have high requirements. As long as the environment was suitable, he could cultivate them.

He immediately set his sights on these two secret arts. As for the others, his brain automatically blocked them out. It was better not to bite off more than one could chew. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

Sneaking out of his residence, Gu Chen found a secluded place. He raised his head and saw that the full moon was hanging in the sky tonight. It was the perfect time to practice the Moonlight Soul Refining Art.

At that moment, he activated his technique and absorbed the moonlight's divine splendor.

As the moonlight flowed into his mind, he suddenly felt light and ethereal, and his thoughts became much clearer than usual.

Unknowingly, a night had passed.

When Gu Chen opened his eyes, there was a look of wisdom in them.

The Moonlight Soul Refining Art could cleanse and strengthen one's spirit, and the most obvious benefit of a strengthened spirit was that one's thoughts would become more agile, one's comprehension would become higher, and one's insight would become stronger.

In just one night, Gu Chen felt that his thoughts were much clearer than before. Some of the areas that he didn't understand when he was learning the Five Form Fist in the past suddenly became clear.

He leaped out and started practicing the Five Form Fist on the grass, vigorous and vigorous.

This basic fist technique of the Wuchen Sect, which looked unprepossessing, actually had a somewhat natural and invulnerable feeling in his hands at that moment.

This was the power of comprehension!

After a night of cultivation, Gu Chen's spirit had been cleansed. Now, not only was he smarter, he could even have a photographic memory!

When he finished practicing a set of fist techniques, the sun in the east just happened to rise.

Gu Chen didn't waste a moment. His eyes looked straight at the sun, and in his eyes, there was a hint of purple light flashing.

When the sun rose, there was a purple aura coming from the east, and it was indescribably noble.

This purple aura was used to practice the Purple Polarity Pupil Technique.

When the sun rose completely, the sun rose to its normal height, and Gu Chen's cultivation also ended.

Every day when the sun rose, there would only be a little power of purple aura. Therefore, the first time's effect was far less than the Moonlight Soul Cultivation Technique.

Even so, Gu Chen clearly felt that his vision had become clearer, especially his dynamic vision.

A flying insect flew over a hundred meters away, and he could actually clearly see its high-frequency vibrating wings, including the lines on them, clearly.

"Just this Sun and Moon Training is already so magical. The 88 Layered Heavens Secret Technique is too scary!"

Gu Chen was shocked. It was only one night, and he actually gained so much.

…

After breakfast, Gu Chen went to the Technique Chamber.

Sun and Moon Training was indeed magical, but the Purple Polarity Pupil Technique and the Moonlight Soul Cultivation Technique weren't specific offensive techniques. He needed some practical martial techniques to rely on.

He had just been promoted to the outer sect, and he could choose two suitable mortal level techniques to cultivate in the Technique Chamber. Naturally, he couldn't let go of this opportunity.

The Technique Chamber was a huge rectangular building. Just as he went up the steps in front of the chamber, someone stopped Gu Chen.

"Hmph, Gu Chen, I knew you would definitely come to the Technique Chamber today. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

It was Hong Kuan. When he saw Gu Chen appear, he excitedly clenched his fists, and his face was full of hostility.

Yesterday, he was ridiculed by Gu Chen in the Outer Hall Hall, causing him to become the joke of many outer sect disciples. He lost all his face, and he was very unwilling.

Thinking that a newly promoted outer sect disciple would definitely come to the Technique Chamber, he waited here early in the morning, and sure enough, Gu Chen arrived!

"Hong Kuan, you really don't change."

Gu Chen was a little angry. From the beginning until now, Hong Kuan had been making things difficult for him. He was really determined to eat him up.

"Hey, cut the crap. Let's have a spar!"

Hong Kuan couldn't wait to beat up Gu Chen. He released his essence force, turned his palm into a blade, and slashed horizontally!

Tiger Shaking Ominous Blade. In the Dustless Sect's outer sect, it was considered a rather powerful martial skill. With a slash, it could split a stone and hit a tiger.

Gu Chen subconsciously wanted to dodge, but to his surprise, Hong Kuan's movements suddenly became extremely slow in his eyes.

Not only was it slow, but this martial skill, which looked very powerful yesterday, was actually full of flaws now.

He just lightly tilted his body, and it didn't take much effort for him to dodge this move.

"Eh?"

Hong Kuan was stunned. This kid's reaction speed had improved quite a bit.

"Roar, take this!"

He slashed consecutively, and the momentum was frightening. A faint purple glow flashed in Gu Chen's eyes, and he dodged agilely, effortlessly.

Hong Kuan slashed more than ten times in a row, but he didn't hit his target. Instead, his stamina was greatly depleted, and he was panting heavily.

"It's all thanks to the Purple Extreme Pupils. In addition, my mind has become more agile, and my reaction speed is also faster!"

Gu Chen thought in his heart. Suddenly, he didn't have the slightest bit of fear towards Hong Kuan.

But stronger than him by a layer of heaven, it was nothing!

He took the initiative to attack. Like a leopard, he leaped out with astonishing explosive power, and in an instant, he was close to Hong Kuan!

Tiger Fist!

Snake Fist!

Crane Fist!

The ordinary Five Forms Fist was displayed in his hands, like a rabbit rising and a magpie descending. Today, its power was actually several times that of an ordinary person, and every punch accurately hit Hong Kuan's weak spot.

Even though he had reached the Skin Toughening realm, there were still many weak spots on his body. Yesterday, Gu Chen couldn't see through them, but today, he could see through them at a glance.
