Chapter 63: Utilizing High-Intensity Brushing to Improve Proficiency

  "Is Gao Jin calling for war with Fang Yan?"

  ……

  The people below the stage showed an unbelievable expression. The recent news about Fang's family, Fang Yan, was spreading like wildfire and was a hot topic of discussion throughout Yanzhou City. Just as the banquet began, he defeated Gao Qing of the Gao family with one move, and even crippled Wang Ye of the Wang family, destroying his dantian and rendering him unable to cultivate for the rest of his life.

  Fang Yan's great deeds had been gradually forgotten with the start of the Sea Selection, but unexpectedly, Gao Jin of the Gao family suddenly proposed to challenge Fang Yan.

  Gao Jin's challenge to Fang Yan, the eighth rank of the Qi Refining stage, is undoubtedly a joke. Many people don't understand why Gao Jin, who passed the sea selection with his own strength, still wants to challenge Fang Yan. If he wants to challenge, it should be the strong ones from the Wang family who come to challenge, because Fang Yan was once a genius of the Wang family!

  "Gao Jin wants to challenge you, Fang Yan, what do you think?" Fu Qingxuan furrowed her brow, looking at Fang Yan with some confusion.

  "When the enemy comes, we'll defend; when the flood comes, we'll dam it." Fang Yan regained his composure after a brief moment of stunned silence and chuckled.

  "Be careful then." Fu Qingxuan said.

  "Fang Yan, have you turned coward? Afraid to come up and fight me, you weakling!" Gao Jin stood atop the stage, shouting down at the crowd.

  "Scared? You're not even qualified to be my subordinate. I'm just curious, what makes you think you can challenge me all of a sudden? Is it because you've made some breakthrough? Is that the reason for your arrogance?" Fang Yan lightly jumped onto the stage, smiling faintly.

  He returned from the Sword Grave Trial Space, and he was like a completely different person. His strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, far surpassing that of several of his older male cousins, with the momentum of becoming the number one young master of the Gao family.

  "You little brat, still so sharp-tongued and quick-witted. Just seeing you makes me feel an inexplicable sense of disgust. Last time I let you off, but this time I won't let you get away with it again." Gao Jin sneered.

  "Come on, your good luck should end today."

  "Clang!"

  The long sword came out of its scabbard, and Gao Jin said so with his mouth upturned. However, the opponent Yan was still somewhat wary. He had just broken through the violent air not long ago, and his realm was only just stabilized. This battle cannot be taken lightly.

  "Haha... Gao Jin, if I can defeat you once, I can defeat you again. Take my sword!" Fang Yan heard this and burst out laughing, then drew out the top-grade spiritual sword Blood Slasher from behind his back.

  Previously, Fang Yan had used his fists to defeat Wang Jia's Wang Mie, but now he was using a sword. The Fang family's ancestral ultimate technique, the Bao Shan Fist, was being abandoned in favor of the sword. This showed just how much importance he placed on Gao Jin. It should be known that his current most powerful skill was the Earth-level sword technique, Huan Ying Jian Jue, and now he had entered the realm of Initial Mastery.

  "Huh? What's going on? How is Fang Yan using a sword?"

  "If I'm not mistaken, the Fang family's unique skill is a set of Bung San Fist. Now he's abandoned his fist to use a sword, is it that he looks down on Gao Jin or does he have an ulterior motive?"

  "Look, they're fighting, they're fighting."

  ……

  As Fang Yan made this move, the crowd of young masters from prominent families in the audience who had some understanding of the Fang family's affairs all looked at each other with strange expressions and began to discuss it heatedly. Meanwhile, Fang Yan and Gao Jin quickly clashed swords.

  At first, the two were mutually exploratory attacks for a few times, and then one by one made every effort to strike the opponent.

  Fang Yan knew that the Gao family had a top-notch, human-level Tiger Soul Severing Blade Technique, whose power was on par with the Fang family's Collapsing Mountain Fist. When Gao Jin displayed it, Fang Yan made some strange discoveries - this Tiger Soul Severing Blade Technique of Gao Jin's didn't seem as fierce and overbearing as rumored, but rather light and agile, with exceptionally rich combat skills, attacking and defending in a way that left Fang Yan gasping for breath. If Fang Yan hadn't had such rich combat experience, he would have lost by now.

  "Tiger Soul Severing!"

  Gao Jin let out a loud shout, and the Tiger Soul Severing Blade's finishing move slashed towards Fang Yan. Fang Yan raised his sword to meet it. However, Gao Jin's force was too overwhelming, and the Water Shadow Sword couldn't withstand it. Fang Yan had no choice but to unleash a Mountain-Crushing Fist.

  Neutralized Gao Jin's Soul-Breaking Blade, Fang Yan's body was forced back by the powerful blade energy.

  "Little kid, I didn't think you'd be this much of a challenge." Gao Jin sneered, his knife flashing as it danced into a whirlpool of light that enveloped Fang Yan. Every now and then, one or two rays of light would break away from the vortex and shoot towards Fang Yan in a slashing motion.

  "Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding......"

  Fang Yan swung his sword to resist, sparks flying everywhere, and the scene was filled with a dazzling display of swords and shadows. Gao Jin's knife momentum was not in its ferocity and overbearingness, but rather in its layered shadows, revealing a hint of cunning.

  The blade light penetrated into the sword light, and Fang Yan's shoulder clothes were suddenly torn apart.

  "Good guy, actually has such a move." Fang Yan's eyebrows furrowed, and in the instant he jumped back, his sword slashed out diagonally. Gao Jin's attack was cunning and hard to defend against, seemingly blocked but actually not, as he only cut through an illusion.

  "Ding! Congratulations, Host's Swordsmanship has reached Supreme Level: Water Shadow Sword Proficiency +1000."

  A cold system prompt tone suddenly sounded in Fang Yan's mind.

  "One hundred and twenty million proficiency has been reached, still eight hundred and eighty million away from becoming a legendary master. This time, it actually increased by one thousand proficiency points. The opponent is so troublesome, take this opportunity to raise the Water Shadow Sword's proficiency." Shoulder injured, Fang Yan planned to use the Phantom Sword Technique to defeat Gao Jin, but just as he was about to take action, the cold system prompt sounded in his mind, and Fang Yan had no choice but to change strategy.

  In exchange for a slight injury, his proficiency soared, which made Fang Yan extremely pleased. Moreover, with the Xianjie system's repair function, this minor injury was nothing at all!

  When Fang Yan's Water Shadow Sword reached the realm of a generation master, his strength could at least double.

  In an instant, Fang Yan was no longer on the offensive, but had switched to defense, and Shui Ying Jian's dance was like a leak-proof water droplet.

  "Ding! Congratulations, Host's Swordsmanship has reached Level 10. Proficiency of Water Shadow Sword +1000."

  "Ding! Congratulations, Host's Swordsmanship has leveled up: Water Shadow Sword proficiency +5000."

  ……

  Fang Yan was as impenetrable as a fortress, and Gao Jin's fierce offense was like a raging storm that seemed endless. Yet, there were still sharp blades that managed to strike him. At this moment, Fang Yan had several more wounds on his body. The cold system prompt sounded continuously in Fang Yan's mind, and every time he fully executed the Water Shadow Sword, his proficiency rose rapidly.

  At first, each display could increase the proficiency by 1,000. As Fang Yan was injured less and less, his proficiency increased by 5,000 each time. Such a wonderful thing, Fang Yan had never thought of before. Displaying Water Shadow Sword increases proficiency by 5,000. If he displays it 2,000 times, his cultivated Water Shadow Sword can reach the realm of a generation master.

  It can be said that Fang Yan is now injured, but he is in pain and happiness. He really wants to rush towards Gao Jin and let out a loud roar, making the storm come even more fiercely.

  "Master, what's going on with Fang Yan? He's only defending and not attacking. At this rate, he'll lose soon!" Meanwhile, Fu Qingxuan was secretly worried about Fang Yan in the audience.

  "Gao Jin, is this all you're capable of? You're a Violent Qi Realm cultivator, yet you can't even handle me, a mere Qi Refining stage eighth level junior cultivator. You might as well go buy a block of tofu and knock yourself out." Fang Yan's footsteps were disheveled, but his heart was thrilled to death, and he jeered at Gao Jin with sarcasm.
