Chapter 244: Chapter 141: Convergence of Winds and Clouds, A Blood-Red Land (Part 2)
Combat power has been raised by at least seventy to eighty percent, almost doubling.
Compared to a Guardian, it is naturally much stronger.
"I can handle two, even three fights aren’t impossible."
Considering this time facing the famed successors of the Three Immortal Islands overseas, no amount of preparation seems adequate.
In case of unforeseen circumstances.
Escape ability is also extremely important.
The stepping technique [Seven Stars Step] has already reached Perfection, so let’s put some more effort into body technique.
No need to train...
Chen Ping sees there are still plenty of Tribulation Points left, and spends 16 points to enhance the [Swallow Returning Butterfly Dance] body technique to Great Success, and without hesitation, spends 32 points to directly raise it to Perfection.
An illusion fills his mind, as if he has transformed into a spring swallow, gliding swiftly;
Like becoming a colorful butterfly, fluttering in the flowers, sometimes visible, sometimes hidden.
His body is erratic and mysterious, rising and falling unexpectedly, his origin unknown, his destination unclear.
Even he himself feels the ethereal nature of his form, somewhat defying logic.
In the military camp, after leading five hundred elite cavalry to train for a while in formation, Han Xiaoru is about to return to the house to wash up and clean the sweat off her body, when she passes by Chen Ping’s room and her eyes widen.
She notices a faint moonlit figure suddenly drifting out of the room, agile and quick.
What’s more extraordinary is not the slenderness nor speed of the body technique.
But rather, the way the figure emerged.
It’s a window lattice, with only a palm-width space between the two bars, how did a person float out of it?
Looking at Chen Ping’s height of eight feet and his strong physique, Han Xiaoru falls into a bit of a daze.
She turns her head in puzzlement and walks to the window ledge, reaching out to feel the window bars, discovering that the wooden bars are still smooth and dense, without a trace of breaking.
"Geez... How did you manage that?" Han Xiaoru’s big eyes almost sparkle with stars, drooling with envy.
With such body technique, if one were to steal, they’d be unbeatable.
Could empty the snacks by the bedside of her mother.
"I just had a small breakthrough in my body technique earlier, just testing it out, do you want to learn? I’ll teach you."
"Really?" Han Xiaoru becomes even more delighted.
Chen Ping is generous with body and footwork techniques, the stronger Han Xiaoru becomes, the better, as she could have a greater chance of survival in the future.
It’s just, her robust figure, learning this body technique might not be very suitable?
"Whether you can learn it or not, I’m not concerned, but it might be somewhat challenging," Chen Ping speaks truthfully.
"Who are you underestimating?" Han Xiaoru purses her lips, her thought processes perfectly in sync with Chen Ping’s, just a glance and she figures out what he’s thinking.
She glances down at her own figure and smiles: "Junior Brother, you think I don’t know the origin of this body technique? It’s said that the Valley Lord of Hundred Flowers Valley is a 400-pound fat person.
If she can cultivate to Perfection Realm, why can’t I?"
"True enough." Chen Ping chuckles wryly.
Thinking of the obese woman he saw in Trace Origin and Steal Fortune, then looking at Han Xiaoru, she seems slim and petite, like a delicate willow swaying in the wind.
Perfectly suitable for this body technique.
"Then I’ll teach you."
"Learning now?"
"Yes, right now."
So, the two of them entered the room, after a full hour, Chen Ping came out again, with a bit of fatigue in his eyes.
Martial arts training isn’t easy, teaching is equally challenging.
Fortunately, Han Xiaoru finally learned it.
All that’s left is to practice more, to advance with courage.
Sword techniques have made huge progress.
Escape skills have also improved.
Only then does Chen Ping feel relieved, resting in his room for a few hours, unaware of the dawn in the east.
In the morning, outside in the training field, the sounds of exercises can be heard.
Chen Ping opens his eyes, stretches with a long yawn.
The first thing he does is check his attribute panel.

...
"Great, I’m now stronger than ever before, everything is ready except for the crucial opportunity.
If this action succeeds, securing the Azure Dragon Seal and borrowing the strange heavenly energy within it to compensate for the energy deficiency in the Primordial Golden Body technique, breaking the barrier...
Even when faced with Xu Jing’an, who is ranked second on the Earth List with the Soul Cutting Saber, it wouldn’t be impossible to vie for victory."
By then, without the appearance of a Grandmaster, he could truly declare, which hero rivals me?
As for Xingqing Prefecture, with this level of power, he could finally confront the leading experts among Beizhou Barbarians, and the Cui Family forces allied with the heir of King Jinghai.
Otherwise, any formidable rival could stand against him, even press him down, what talk is there of defending Xingqing Prefecture?
That’s simply a dream.
...
"Miss, Miss, get up quickly."
Fang Qingzhu sleeps soundly, with a suspicious liquid at the corner of her mouth, dripping onto the pillow.
She smacks her lips a few times, savoring the taste.
On the island, life is too lonely and boring, only grilling fish and hunting rabbits bring solace in the long sunlit days.
