My Apprentice Is Too Diligent

Chapter 15: Overnight Proficiency

Chen Wuji firmly believed in this point.

And the one who could accomplish this step was undoubtedly Nan Jinyu, this elegant and otherworldly third disciple who also didn't speak much.

With the talent for Sword Dao's Favor, he definitely had a cheat-like existence when it came to comprehending the artistic conception of sword techniques.

Sure enough.

Before going to sleep at night, Nan Jinyu achieved an initial understanding.

[Your third disciple, Nan Jinyu, has improved his proficiency in the "Stormy Rain Sword Technique" by +1. His current loyalty is 61, and he has gained a 61-fold reward. Your proficiency in the "Stormy Rain Sword Technique" has increased by 61.]

Buzz!

As the prompt flashed by, Chen Wuji's consciousness became chaotic.

In the next moment, his understanding and comprehension of the "Stormy Rain Sword Technique" erupted in his mind.

In that instant, Chen Wuji felt as if he were immersed in a world covered by a torrential rain, experiencing the ravaging, madness, swaying, coolness, pain, and violence of the rain...

These various sensations arose from the heart, penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and directly pierced the soul.

[Name: Chen Wuji (Hidden Dragon Gate Master)]

[Lifespan: 30/85]

[Cultivation: Eighth Layer of the Body Refining Realm]

[Cultivation Technique: "Fish Swallowing Technique," Ninth Layer Perfection (1000/1000); "Easy Embryonic Turtle Breathing Technique," Initial Stage (1/50)]

[Martial Arts: "Stormy Rain Sword Technique" (Initial Stage 61/100); "Earth Dragon Fist" (Perfected 1000/1000); "Cloud Piercing Saber Technique" (Perfected 1000/1000); "Winding Snake Steps" (Perfected 1000/1000)]

[Talent: Sudden Inspiration]

[Disciples: Seven (expandable)]

...

It takes one hundred proficiency points to reach the initial stage. The grade of the "Stormy Rain Sword Technique" is undoubtedly much higher than that of the "Cloud Piercing Saber Technique."

Chen Wuji carefully pondered and absorbed the subtleties of the sword technique.

He waited until midnight.

[AFK ends]

[Your progress in the "Easy Embryonic Turtle Breathing Technique" is +92+79+61+77+60]

In an instant, Chen Wuji's comprehension and understanding of the "Easy Embryonic Turtle Breathing Technique" deepened rapidly, reaching a level of mastery in the technique.

He activated the technique and changed the structure of his facial bones.

Crack, crack~

After a series of strange sounds, Chen Wuji walked up to a bronze mirror and looked at himself.

In the mirror, the face of an ordinary middle-aged man with a square-shaped face appeared.

"Heh~"

Chen Wuji chuckled lightly.

He continued to manipulate his bones, making cracking sounds of "crack, crack, crack" constantly.

When he stopped, Chen Wuji's field of vision had risen by a head.

Bone shrinking and disguise.

Chen Wuji clearly felt the changes in this function of the "Easy Embryonic Turtle Breathing Technique."

As for concealing his aura, he could sense it himself, but it wasn't obvious. He would need to reach the Ninth Layer of the Body Refining Realm to fully introspect his own aura.

Crack, crack, crack~

Manipulating his bones, Chen Wuji transformed from a burly and tall man into his original appearance.

During the process of bone shrinking, pain is inevitable.

However, Chen Wuji didn't feel much pain.

...

After adjusting his body for a while, he regulated his breath.

Chen Wuji lay back on the bed and continued sleeping.

With the reverse entry into the "Storm Sword Technique," there was no need to worry about Nan Jinyu coming to inquire.

Early the next day.

Chen Wuji got up, washed up, and prepared to go to the study.

But as soon as he opened the door--

[Your third disciple Nan Jinyu has increased proficiency in the "Storm Sword Technique" by 2 points. Current loyalty is 61, receiving a reward of 61 times. Your proficiency in the "Storm Sword Technique" has increased by 122 points.]

In an instant, Chen Wuji's understanding and comprehension of the "Storm Sword Technique" deepened once again.

The changes in sword moves came from the heart.

The comprehension of the artistic conception of a storm also deepened. Even if he didn't have a sword in his hand, as long as he thought about it, Chen Wuji felt as if he were in a heavy rain.

With Nan Jinyu's assistance, Chen Wuji became proficient in the "Storm Sword Technique" overnight!

The tendons and muscles in his hands, along with their movements, strengthened significantly, and his bones followed suit.

The aura released from his body became even more fierce.

Standing still, he allowed the invisible force to bless him.

After a while, Chen Wuji exhaled and looked puzzled. "An increase of 2 points in proficiency all at once. Could it be that this girl practiced all night?"

After thinking about it, Chen Wuji decided not to go and see Nan Jinyu.

Let's wait for a while!

...

In White Water County.

In a courtyard in the inner district.

"How is the investigation going?" The head catcher Yang Qin swung a pair of large swords in his hands, moving slowly and familiar with the sword moves.

"Based on multiple investigations and secret inquiries, the force and person who have had the biggest conflicts with the Xiong Gang recently is Chen Wuji from the Hidden Dragon Gate."

A man dressed as a catcher lowered his head and reported.

"The Hidden Dragon Gate and Chen Wuji?" Yang Qin's movements paused, and a gleam of light flickered in his eyes. "Is it the Chen Wuji who broke through to the Seventh Layer of Body Refining?"

"Yes."

The man respectfully said, "It is a fact that Chen Wuji broke through to the Seventh Layer of Body Refining, and his boxing and footwork have reached a state of perfection. It is precisely because of these three points that Chen Wuji was able to kill 'King of Spears' Luo Butu in front of dozens of people on the street."

"Interesting."

Yang Qin sheathed his sword, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "I didn't expect this usually low-key Chen Sect Master to become so high-profile."

The man remained silent and did not echo his words.

"Go."

Yang Qin shouted lightly, "Convey my order and have Kong Kong'er come immediately."

"Yes!"

The man clasped his fists and bowed, then immediately retreated.

"Chen Wuji."

Yang Qin, who stayed in place, narrowed his eyes. "Being able to kill Luo Butu, who has reached the complete Blood Transformation stage, I'm afraid it's not just because he broke through to the Seventh Layer of Body Refining. With this level of strength, he can also pose a threat to the Eighth Layer of Body Refining!"
