At the entrance of Yinhui Community.
Looking at the figure standing near the guard booth.
Shen Ping's face showed a smile.
He got out of the car.
He called out loudly, "Sister, I'm back!"
The moment Shen Xue saw her younger brother, her worries instantly vanished, "It's good that you're back!"
Not long after.
Back at the villa.
Shen Xue poured a cup of hot water and chided, "You smell of alcohol, go wash up quickly."
"I know."
Shen Ping chuckled and ran to the bathroom to shower.
Towards evening.
The Dojo of Limits delivered the fifth level of the Flowing Wind Secret Manual he had purchased at half price.
Coincidentally, Zeng Fan also arrived.
"Shen, Shen Ping, I, I was ignorant. This morning, this morning's matter was my fault. From now on, I promise to stay far away from that Su Qi!"
Zeng Fan bowed a full 180 degrees, his face full of apology.
Glancing at him, Shen Ping said indifferently, "Your brother has already compensated one hundred million. This matter is settled, but I advise you, this world is vast, don't think that just because you have a brother who is an Elementary Warlord, you can act arrogantly!"
Zeng Fan nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, you are right, I was too arrogant."
"Alright, you can go back!"
Shen Ping waved his hand. He didn't take Zeng Fan to heart at all. He stepped forward and opened the box. Seeing the Secret Manual inside, his expression couldn't help but show excitement.
The fifth level of Flowing Wind was finally in his hands!
He had waited for more than three months this time.
Long enough.
After signing for it, he couldn't wait to carry the box back to the living room.
As Zeng Fan walked to the villa gate, his pupils contracted. Just now, he had inadvertently glanced at the box, and inside was the Flowing Wind blade technique Secret Manual!
And it seemed to be the fifth level!
Heaven.
That would cost one billion China dollars at full price!
Shen Ping could actually afford it.
Undoubtedly.
His brother was right, Shen Ping's strength had definitely reached the Elementary Warlord level.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to afford it.
"Purchasing the fifth level... then, then doesn't that mean Shen Ping has at least mastered the third level?!"
Thinking of this.
Zeng Fan shivered, wishing he could slap himself.
"Mastering at least the third level of the Flowing Wind blade technique at 21 years old, my goodness, I, what kind of monster did I provoke... No, this matter must be completely resolved. Yes, Su Qi, only Su Qi can completely dispel it!"
Zeng Fan left in a hurry.
...
Second floor audio-visual room.
Shen Ping inserted the Secret Manual video.
Soon.
The large electronic screen displayed the footage.
"The Flowing Wind blade technique is based on wind, with light and swift movements. The fifth level mainly focuses on grasping a trace of the Concept of wind, thereby making one's movements more refined and flawless..."
Unlike the previous four levels, the expert demonstrating the fifth level of the blade technique also specifically analyzed the key to this level.
After watching.
Shen Ping took a deep breath.
Then he opened the virtual frame.
[Comprehension Ability: 914]
[Exchange Count: 18]
Exchange.
The thought was conveyed.
The virtual frame vibrated.
Immediately after, that profound feeling arrived!
Shen Ping immediately flashed to the adjacent practice hall. The memory of the blade technique video he had just watched repeated in his mind like a projector, and each repetition became clearer. Later, his consciousness seemed to attach itself to the expert in his memory.
Zzzzt ~
Like an electric current, his body's cells and muscles forcibly memorized the movements in his mind. Immediately after, Shen Ping drew his blade and began to Cultivate.
Swish swish swish.
The blade moved with his body, his body like the Flowing Wind.
This time, Shen Ping clearly felt a slight breeze caused by the blade's movements, and his blade, following the flow of the wind, sped up several times as he swung it.
His body became even lighter, as if the resistance of the air had completely disappeared.
A moment later, Shen Ping retracted his blade.
"Micro-level, perfect, Concept... I didn't expect to grasp a hint of Concept at merely the fifth level.
No wonder fewer Martial Artists succeed in Cultivating 'Flowing Wind' the higher up it goes!"
His eyes showed shock.
Concept is profound and ineffable; this Realm has already surpassed blade techniques and movement techniques themselves, beginning to touch upon the world.
Of course, the fifth level is only a hint of a Prototype; simply put, it means the movement technique has reached the perfect Minor Achievement stage, giving him a clearer control over his surroundings, which is why he could touch upon a hint of Concept.
"Fifth level, five times increase in power!"
"Now my overall combat power should be close to the limit of an Elementary Warlord!"
The increase from the 'Flowing Wind' blade technique is not progressive like 'Nine Heavy Thunder Blade' but rather, the higher it goes, the greater the leap in increase, with the main key being the utilization of wind.
"Continue watching the video!"
Shen Ping was very satisfied with this improvement and immediately returned to the audio-visual room to watch the video.
He wanted to max out his Comprehension Ability points from watching.
"Once I reach the God of War level, I'll be able to go to the Wilderness Area during the day and return home at night, maxing out my Comprehension Ability through all three methods in one day!"
He muttered, then watched the video again.
After maxing out his Comprehension Ability, he habitually opened the virtual frame.
Looking at the changes in his Comprehension Ability points always made him feel much better.
"Comprehension Ability Points: 864"
"Exchange Count: 17"
"Exchange Count (Silver): 0 (Unlocked when exchange count reaches standard)"
Seeing this, Shen Ping was clearly stunned.
His Golden Finger had actually changed!
"What's the situation with this newly appeared exchange count?"
"Silver level? Is it a higher level Epiphany?"
He speculated, but his face couldn't help but show excitement.
Although he couldn't determine what this new silver exchange was, the Golden Finger having an additional function was clearly a good thing!
Moreover, this undoubtedly proved that his Golden Finger was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
"The future is promising!"
Shen Ping was in an even better mood, even eating two extra bowls of dinner.
...
Early the next morning, at the Extreme Martial Arts Hall in the center of the residential area.
"Xiao Ping, so early?"
"Yes, Brother Chen, you're early too!"
"I heard your squad went to 003 City.
Tsk tsk, you must have made a lot of money, right?
That city is known as the Devil's Den; it's dangerous, but you make money fast!"
"Hehe, we did make a fortune."
"You're smiling so much your drool is almost coming out.
Looks like you really hit it big.
Remember to treat me to drinks later!"
"No problem!"
Shen Ping greeted a few familiar Martial Artists from the community.
The news of the Black Ice Squad going to 003 City had spread, but few knew that his combat power had reached the Elementary Warlord level.
As soon as he arrived at the super-large training hall on the sixth floor, he saw Pavilion Master Zhou Bo, the hall master, watching several unfamiliar faces train.
"Uncle Zhou, so early?"
Shen Ping was a little surprised.
Pavilion Master Zhou pointed to the people on the running track, "Isn't the quasi-Martial Artist assessment coming up soon?
Many people are coming to test their strength.
The younger one is my relative; I came to check on him."
Shen Ping glanced at them.
"Their speed isn't slow; I estimate they're close to the Martial Artist assessment standard."
Pavilion Master Zhou smiled and said, "He's still a bit short, 21m/s.
He's here to try this time.
To pass, he'll need to wait at least two more months.
But enough about him, what about you?
Daring to go to 003 City with the Black Ice Squad, your strength must be close to an Elementary Warlord, right?"
"Uncle Zhou knows too?"
Shen Ping feigned surprise.
Pavilion Master Zhou glared, "Although I retired long ago, I'm not deaf yet.
The Martial Artist circle is only so big.
Your Black Ice Squad rarely goes to big cities, so going to 003 City this time surprised many.
I know that girl Bai Feng; her temperament is very steady.
If she dared to suddenly go to 003 City, your strength must be more than just a Senior Warrior!"
Shen Ping gave a thumbs up, "Uncle Zhou is amazing.
I am indeed more than a Senior Warrior."
Upon hearing this, Pavilion Master Zhou was surprised, "It's only been a few months, and you've already surpassed Senior Warrior?"
Shen Ping didn't reply but walked directly to the punch force testing machine.
Pavilion Master Zhou also followed curiously.
Boom.
Shen Ping casually threw a punch, not even correcting his posture.
The punch bag vibrated.
The instrument quickly displayed the data: 16172kg.
Seeing this number, Shen Ping was not surprised.
Before going to 003 City, his punch force had already exceeded ten thousand kilograms, and in nearly two months in the Wilderness Area, his Cultivation efficiency was very fast, increasing his punch force by over six thousand kilograms.
Boom.
This time, he arched his waist and threw another punch.
The instrument displayed the data: 17082kg.
This was his current punch force level, reaching the baseline of a Mid-level Warlord.
"Let's try the power amplification of the 'Flowing Wind' blade technique!"
Shen Ping took a deep breath.
The strength of his body's muscles, amplified by 'Flowing Wind,' gathered in his arm, and then... he unleashed it with full force!
Bang.
The air exploded.
The punch bag even shook so much that multiple afterimages appeared.
It took half a minute for it to finally stabilize.
At this moment, the instrument displayed the data—57613kg!
