Chapter 23 - Six Ranks Advance, Second Flying Blade

The demonstration was still going on.

Apart from the Sudden Blade Style, there is Drawing Blade Style, Horizontal Blade Posture, the Eight Directional Style, and Blood Battle Style!

Five advanced styles.

Each movement incorporated the thirteen basic saber techniques learned earlier.

While it looked simple, it actually contained many variations and dozens of essential techniques in dealing with Vicious Beasts and enemies.

Qin Mu immediately began to practice.

He first practiced the basic moves until he was proficient, then practiced the five advanced styles one by one.

With his Mental Energy Cultivation, learning these saber techniques was significantly easier compared to before. While not yet proficient, it wasn't difficult to grasp the basics. [Ding! The host has learned a C-Rank Martial Artist Cultivation Technique, the Eighteen Styles of Bloody Battle.]

"Phew, done!"

"To Breakthrough to a Martial Artist, only Apprentice-level Cultivation Techniques are needed. This one is enough to Breakthrough to the Martial General Rank."

Qin Mu breathed a sigh of relief. Checking his watch, it was already past seven in the evening.

Oh no.

He wondered if his mother and Xiao Yun had eaten yet.

He turned his head to see.

Both Yang Ling and Qin Yun sat at the entrance of the Cultivation room, staring at him with a dazed expression.

Clap clap clap clap~!

Qin Yun's excited little face was flushed red as she clapped vigorously: "Brother~! I believe you're a Genius Martial Artist now! You're the best~"

Hahahaha~

This girl.

Qin Mu walked over, a wry smile on his face: "Time to eat, your stomachs must be rumbling, right?"

Hmm~

"I ate too much meat at noon, I'm not hungry at all!" Xiao Yun repeated, shaking her head.

"Slacking off?" Qin Mu immediately reproached: "Extra training tonight!"

Ah~???

This, however greatly dampened Xiao Yun's enthusiasm.

Yang Ling had already prepared dinner, so the siblings just needed to start eating.

As for Cultivation.

Qin Mu couldn't bring Xiao Yun along, because he needed to cultivate mental energy at night and flying blades were too indiscriminate. It was better to let Yang Ling watch Xiao Yun practice in the living room.

Anyway, the little girl could barely manage Apprentice First Level; at most, she could practice her physique, gain some strength, and get familiar with straight punches.

Growing room.

Qin Mu closed the door.

Overview of Mentalist force generation and combat modes.

Judging by the name, this Cultivation Technique didn't seem particularly profound.

Of course, it also clearly said that its Cultivation Technique Rank was only at the Apprentice level.

It was also a projected 3D demonstration.

The mentalist in the video controlled with a single thought five Flying Blades!

Under the attack by the Flying Blades, thick steel plates were as easy to manipulate as tofu blocks, slicing off a piece with each cut and piercing through with a single strike.

The Mentalist stood with hands clasped behind her back and did not need to move in the least.

Elegant~

Truly, it was elegant.

"Mentalists are totally different from Martial Artists. Of the same Rank, Mentalists will definitely be invincible. If they initiate a sneak attack without warning, then their opponents of different Ranks will easily be defeated.

The one requirement for generating a mentalist force is to concentrate all Mental Energy. Some meditation methods for concentrating Mental Energy are described below.

"Practice meditation at least for 10 hours every day."

"For the rest of the 10 hours, spend 5 hours practicing the movements of Flying Blade. You can just follow the diagrams."

"I'll give an overview of only the most important points.

The Mentalist in the projection clearly wasn't as patient as the Martial Artist instructor.

She only showed it once and without explanations.

"Besides their powerful lethality and unpredictability, the most important thing about Mentalists is that they can control multiple Flying Blades!

"One Flying Blade generates 10,000 KG of force, so five Flying Blades generate 50,000 KG!

"This is the true core of Mentalist invincibility, and something all Mentalists must diligently Cultivate: multitasking!"

"As for the unity of mind and thought, that is an advanced combat technique, and does not need to be understood now."

"Spend at least 5 hours a day practicing multitasking. Once the attack power of the second Flying Blade is on par with your Rank, you can try the third, and so on."

With that, the Mentalist directly launched seven Flying Blades.

"My control limit is seven Flying Blades at full power, and fourteen in a non-full power state. Although my attack power Rank is only Martial General Ninth Rank, I can still retreat safely against a Ninth-Rank Grandmaster, and even find opportunities to kill them!

"This is what a Mentalist is!"

The projection disappeared.

Only now did Qin Mu understand why the Mentalists were so powerful.

They just were formidable!

An extra Flying Blade is like an extra person attacking you. How does an ordinary Martial Artist deal with that?

In the video, when getting to the Realm of the Mentalist, seven Flying Blades at full power.

That's equivalent to seven Martial General Ninth Ranks, with additional Flying Blades for cover, making it impossible for enemies to discern which one is the true full-power attack.

This way, with over a dozen Flying Blades facing them, the pressure is immense.

"Xiao Yi, you really are a professional!

Only now did Qin Mu realize that having several Flying Blades was a must.

Next was practice.

Should he directly attempt the second Flying Blade?

Qin Mu didn't use real combat Flying Blades, only practice ones. They were a free gift when buying the System; the blades were blunt and of the same shape and weight.

The first one was stable.

The second one. "Phew~ no good!

Even without attacking, Qin Mu felt a tearing sensation in his head. He really couldn't keep it up.

He still needed to practice the diagrams first. The night passed until dawn.

"Holy crap!"

"Mentalists are really abnormal, is the difficulty this high?

In one night.

Qin Mu concentrated on controlling the Flying Blades, following the projected routes of turning, stopping, and accelerating.

It was only a maze-like diagram, but Qin Mu couldn't complete it as required.

"Master, you must rest. I recommend using meditation methods to speed up the recovery of Mental Energy. You can also purchase some Mental Energy supplements.

"The discounted price is about 300,000 per serving."

Xiao Yi comforted him from the side.

"Buy it!"

Qin Mu had nothing better to do, so he took up the challenge issued by the Mentalist. He clicked directly to upgrade and then went into meditation.

For the next few days.

Qin Mu remained in the Cultivation room and only went out to eat.

On the sixth day,

Qin Mu had two Flying Blades, soaring through two projections at once.

Soon after, both Flying Blades arrived at the exit at the same time.

Cleared the level!

Bang~

Xiao Yi let off colorful fireworks in the air: "Congratulations, Master, for clearing the first level of the maze!"

At the same time,

A System message popped up.

[Ding! The host has learned a D-Rank Mental Energy Cultivation Technique, Mental Energy Basics.]

Phew~

Qin Mu thought inwardly that he was lucky.

The challenge for a Mentalist was indeed abnormal!

He had the System, gaining a Rank a day. Even though the System wasn't used to upgrade Cultivation Techniques, his Mental Energy significantly improved, along with his attack power and control.

Even so, he still took some days to barely learn the Cultivation Technique.

If it were an ordinary Mentalist at the Third Rank, sorry, it would even be questionable as to whether they could clear this level in their lifetime.

Mentalists relied purely on talent.

The talented Mentalists would naturally have strong control, and the Realm you longed for may be easier than drinking water for them.

As for Qin Mu,

His improvement speed, with the System's upgrade assistance, surpassed everyone else, and there was no limit!

Even the most genius of mentalists had a limitation to their talent.

Qin Mu did not.

Even without Cultivation Techniques, he could directly Breakthrough in 10 days!

The Invincible Leveling System must be invincible!!

"Panel!"

Qin Mu sub-vocalized again:

[Invincible Leveling System]

[Qin Mu:]

[Upgrade Points: 0]

[Martial Dao Cultivation: Apprentice Ninth Level]

Mental Energy Cultivation: Apprentice Ninth Level

[Martial Artist Cultivation Technique: Eighteen Styles of Bloody Battle]

制作 Mental Energy Cultivation Technique: Mental Energy Basics

"The result of seven days of secluded Cultivation, all at Apprentice Ninth Level."

"To Breakthrough to the Martial Artist Realm, all Cultivation Techniques are ready, fifteen days!"

"In just fifteen days, my Mentalist Rank can Breakthrough to Martial Artist Ninth Rank!"

Besides these.

He could now completely control two Flying Blades. If not at full power, then five Flying Blades simultaneously were not a problem.

But if all five were working, the speed and force of the Flying Blades could not be guaranteed.

Quite simply,

If he tried to clear a level with all five active, none of them would make it, and he would not even get halfway.

However,

Qin Mu was already very satisfied with this result.

Two Flying Blades, adding to his own Martial Artist abilities, that would make three Apprentice Ninth Levels.

Moreover, the rest of the Flying Blades could be used to feint. There was no need to make a full-power Flying Blade when attacking normally.

That way, he could keep to a given speed to deceive the enemy. Then find a weakness, and suddenly accelerate! Haha. Qin Mu felt exhilarated and burst into laughter. Xiao Yi reminded him, "Master, the Martial Examination is today. You still have three hours to rest, and then arrive at the entrance of Jiangcheng 2A City for assembly before ten o'clock."
