Chapter 29: Blazing Blade Skill! Innate Realm

Moreover, with the addition of the Extraordinary Comprehension, also a purple-quality talent, the experience becomes even more unique.

While reading the saber skill manual,

it felt as though there was a tiny figure in his mind, practicing the saber technique over and over, letting Ye Liuyun grasp the profound mysteries of the skill more clearly.

After putting it aside,

Ye Liuyun smoothly picked up another saber manual he’d seized.

"Blazing Blade Skill!"

Just from the name, it’s obvious this is a saber skill that’s pure and blazing in nature.

Its compatibility with the Cangyang Force and Innate Yang Physique is extremely high.

But the details still depend on the content of the skill.

As Ye Liuyun flipped through the Blazing Blade Skill, the little figure in his mind once again began to automatically drill the saber moves within.

As expected, just like the name, this was truly an overwhelmingly yang-type saber skill.

Not only that, but the Blazing Blade Skill also came with an inner power heart method. Simply by performing a full set of moves, his inner strength would automatically grow a little.

In this aspect,

the quality of the Blazing Blade Skill was undoubtedly above the Golden Gate Thirteen Sabers—and not just by a little, but several distinct tiers.

"Could this be Lin Chen’s family’s secret saber technique?"

No wonder Jin Yuanba had wanted to seize it.

But by now, anyone else who might’ve known should be dead. Ye Liuyun could only guess and had no way to confirm it.

But none of that matters. Whether it’s Lin family’s heirloom or not—now that it’s in his hands, it’s his.

Now he had both the Saber-Unity and Extraordinary Comprehension purple talents. If he didn’t cultivate, it would truly be a waste.

Thinking like this,

Ye Liuyun committed the saber technique to memory, then went out into the courtyard.

He began practicing, following the steps described in the saber manual.

There wasn’t even a period of awkwardness.

The very first time he practiced, Ye Liuyun felt as if blade and arm were one—effortless and smooth.

Not only that, but the gift of Extraordinary Comprehension let Ye Liuyun gain new insights here and there as he performed the saber skill.

"Boom!"

As his blade slashed down, a wave of heat blasted forth, reflecting the saber in Ye Liuyun’s hand a glowing red.

After running through several sets of moves, Ye Liuyun felt his physical strength had improved noticeably compared to before.

After withdrawing his inner strength, the saber in his hand was still burning red-hot, slowly cooling after quite a while.

"This feeling—about to break through!"

It hadn’t been all that long since his cultivation had reached the Postnatal Realm, either.

With so many talent entries layered on top, together with various martial arts stacking up, Ye Liuyun’s cultivation realm could improve dramatically in a short period of time.

Those sets of saber moves just now already gave Ye Liuyun a vague sense of breaking through.

"Innate Gang Qi!"

Clenching his fist, faint red inner strength automatically appeared between Ye Liuyun’s arms; though faint, it was clearly present.

The greatest difference between an Innate Martial Artist and a Postnatal Martial Artist is indeed this Innate Gang Qi.

When faced with danger, it can automatically form a protective barrier. At the same time, Innate Gang Qi rapidly boosts a martial artist’s recovery ability; even some simple wounds can heal quickly in the shortest time.

Innate strength is usually formless, but because Ye Liuyun trained in Cangyang Force and the newly learned Blazing Blade Skill—both pure yang—

his inner strength thus appeared with a faint red hue.

Now, Ye Liuyun had already begun to grasp some semblance of Innate Gang Qi.

The breakthrough to the Innate Realm was not far away.

"Continue!"

This kind of progress made Ye Liuyun’s heart burn with excitement.

After a brief rest, he continued to practice in the yard.

The Blazing Blade Skill was top-grade, and so was difficult to train. But for Ye Liuyun with his Saber-Unity talent, any tough or obscure part could be mastered after just a few more repetitions.

After returning to his room that night,

Ye Liuyun didn’t rest right away—he continued circulating Cangyang Force.

Previously, he only had Innate Yang Physique as a talent, but now, with Extraordinary Comprehension layered on, his cultivation speed was even faster.

Finally,

as dawn gradually broke, Ye Liuyun—sitting cross-legged in his room—trembled slightly.

The room’s temperature started rising sharply at that moment.

Waves of heat rolled outward. Fortunately, Ye Liuyun was the only one in the room at this hour, so there was no worry about affecting others.

"Hoo!"

He exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.

Ye Liuyun slowly cycled his energy, the previously restless inner strength settling down and growing calm once more.

"Talent Entry System!

Host: Ye Liuyun!

Realm: Early-stage Innate!

Martial Arts: Wind-Slaying Saber Skill, Cangyang Force, Pine Wood Saber Skill, Jade-Splitting Palm, Blazing Blade Skill,

Talent Entries: Luck (purple), Iron Bones (purple), Saber-Unity (purple), Extraordinary Comprehension (purple), Swordsmanship Talent (blue), Innate Yang Physique (purple), Scent Recognition (blue),"

He’d finally broken through.

He looked at the "Realm" field on his profile—now marked as Early-stage Innate.

Ye Liuyun wore a relaxed and easy smile on his face.

Standing up again, he exercised his bones and muscles a bit.

After reaching Innate, the realm is divided into Early, Mid, Late, and Full Completion—four sub-stages.

Just like he’d seen before: the guard Luo Lan at Yan Shuzhu’s side was at the mid-stage Innate level.

Even if there’s a gap of one substage,

with all these talent entries, plus his own martial arts, Ye Liuyun was confident: if he really fought with Luo Lan, he would not lose.

"Not bad! Not bad!"

This breakthrough put Ye Liuyun in a significantly better mood.

Innate Realm is already a level sufficient to found a school of martial arts. According to Ye Liuyun’s understanding, in the Embroidered Uniform Guard, only the two Governors from North and South might have reached this degree.

As for Lord Thousand Households, being first-class is already rare enough—those at the Postnatal Realm are even rarer.

Just then,

his door was pushed open—it was Xing’Er coming in.

"Master!"

In fact, Xing’Er had arrived a while back, but upon seeing Ye Liuyun practicing, she hadn’t dared disturb him.

After all, the sky was already bright outside—it was time for Embroidered Uniform Guard roll call.

Unknowingly, Ye Liuyun had trained all night long. No wonder people say there’s no sense of time during cultivation; when training, you really can’t feel time pass outside at all.

"Master, you didn’t sleep all night. Why not rest at home today?"

He’s already a Lord of a Hundred Households—one day off from the Embroidered Uniform Guard, no one would complain.

"No need!"

Ye Liuyun waved his hand with a smile. Though he’d stayed up all night, his spirits were superb.

For an Innate Martial Artist, even several sleepless days and nights aren’t an issue.

"Don’t worry—your master is full of energy."

Seeing Xing’Er’s worried look, Ye Liuyun couldn’t help but grin.

"It’s a happy day. Tell everyone in the household to prepare extra food and wine for tonight."

"Understood, Master."

Seeing Ye Liuyun so joyful, most of Xing’Er’s worries vanished, and she also beamed with happiness.
