Martial Essence Palace!

There were a total of three levels to this simple building, making it look very inconspicuous. However, it was the place where the security of the Blue Martial Palace was tight, and it was the place where martial arts techniques and martial arts were stored.

If a disciple from the Blue Martial Palace wanted to step into the first level, they would have to reach the 7th level of the Martial Life Stage before they could choose a martial art and technique suitable for their own cultivation.

Otherwise, entering the Martial Essence Palace would be even harder than ascending the heavens.

As for the second level, without reaching the Pure Body level, it was impossible for one to even think about ascending to it.

Gu Feng came to the Martial Essence Palace. Looking at this hall that he could only gaze at from afar, now he finally had the qualifications to step into it. This was the beginning of his path to becoming a strong warrior.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Feng walked towards the Martial Essence Palace.

No one obstructed them until they reached the first floor of the Martial Essence Palace. Gu Feng knew that it wasn't that no one guarded the Martial Essence Palace, but the elder guarding it didn't stop him when he saw that his cultivation base had reached the 7th level of the Martial Fate Realm.

If he didn't meet the requirements and barged into the Martial Essence Palace, he would be killed right there and then.

The rules for killing in the Martial Essence Palace were very clear.

"You are limited to the first level. You can only choose martial arts techniques and martial arts. You can only choose one book each. Return it within two months. Violators will be killed without mercy." A cold voice rang in Gu Feng's ears. Gu Feng's body tensed up as he nodded. He had long understood the rules of the Martial Essence Palace.

At first glance, there were two people on the first floor. On the left side of the shelf, there were written martial arts techniques, and on the right side of the shelf, there were written martial arts.

Gu Feng first went to the shelf of martial arts cultivation technique. Although he already had the 'Life and Death Heaven Seizing Supreme Art', this kind of heaven defying cultivation technique, if he could find a cultivation technique suitable for himself, then he would be in urgent need of it.

The Pure Cloud Art was a level six Yellow Rank martial art. After practicing it, one could absorb the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth at ten times faster than usual.

'Water Zither Spell ', a Yellow Rank Level 9 martial art, was suitable for people with water attribute physiques to cultivate.

'Golden Dragon Mantra '...

After looking at more than a dozen martial arts techniques, Gu Feng shook his head, not satisfied at all. Just as he was about to give up choosing martial arts techniques, an inconspicuous martial arts technique appeared under the metal frame.

This was an incomplete manual. Gu Feng picked it up and looked at it.

There was only a small part of the low-level Earth Realm martial art called the Godly Fiery Blaze Art, but it could only be cultivated by people with a fire attribute. Moreover, it would be very dangerous to cultivate it, making it hard to control the energy inside the body.

"You." Looking at the notes on the Fiery Starfire Divine Art, Gu Feng chose this incomplete Level 2 Earth Realm martial art without any hesitation.

After choosing the Qi Method, Gu Feng did not stop and turned his gaze towards the shelves that held Martial Arts.

Martial arts were the ultimate weapon in a battle. The lowest level martial arts could explode with three times the normal attack strength. If a martial arts was slightly more powerful, it could increase by ten times or even dozens of times the attack strength.

The 'Seven Injury Fist', a yellow-rank Level 7 martial art. It was the first to injure someone. It absorbed all the strength in the body and unleashed the most terrifying attack.

Flowing Cloud Sword, a Yellow Rank Level 5 martial art. Once cultivated to the Mastery Stage, the sword would be like a shooting star, swift and deadly.

The 'Berserk Blade Slash' used his own origin energy to form a domineering wild wave of blade energy that cut through everything in its path.

"They are all not bad, but why is it that none of them are growth-type martial arts?" Gu Feng was depressed. These martial arts were indeed powerful, but after training, there was no room for growth. This was the limit.

Gu Feng was hoping to find a growth type martial art so that he wouldn't have to worry about martial arts for a short period of time. Right now, he was in a difficult situation and had to fight for all his cultivation resources, so he didn't have much time to waste.

Sometimes choices are important.

When one reached mastery in the Yellow Rank Level 9 martial art Fire Essence Explosion, the attacking power would be no weaker than that of an ordinary Earth Rank martial art. Moreover, it would grow in power. As one's cultivation increased, the attacking power would also become stronger.

Although this martial art was powerful in attack, it was extremely difficult to learn and master.

After thinking about it again and again, Gu Feng still decided to take down the 'Fire Yuan Explosion'. Even though it was difficult to cultivate, he was capable of doing things that others were unable to do.

Gu Feng left the Martial Essence Palace with the Star Fire Divine Art and the Fire Yuan Explosion. Just as he was about to leave, he heard an imposing voice.

"Are you sure you want to choose this cultivation technique and this martial art?" An old man in his eighties walked towards Gu Feng. The old man's white hair fluttered in the wind, and his black robe fluttered in the dawn. He seemed very powerful.

"Hello senior, this disciple will choose the 'Starfire Divine Art' and the 'Fire Yuan Explosion'." When Gu Feng saw the old man, he knew that he was the elder protecting the Martial Essence Palace and bowed his head to greet him.

The black robed elder looked at Gu Feng and said in astonishment, "Do you know that in the entire Blue Martial Palace, there have only been a few people who have successfully trained the 'Starfire Divine Art' and the 'Essence Flame Explosion' for a thousand years? Now that you have given up, there is still time to go in and choose again."

Hearing the old man's words, Gu Feng secretly pondered. He knew that the old man was trying to persuade him for his own good, but he was very determined. He said without any hesitation, "Senior, I have already been chosen. I won't change my mind."

"Sure, go ahead." He was only here to give a bit of advice. Since Gu Feng didn't listen to his advice, then there was nothing for him to say. With his status, he naturally wouldn't go against a junior.

"Thank you, senior." Gu Feng muttered as he walked away.

When he returned to his own residence, Gu Feng immediately started cultivating the Fire Yuan Explosion. Right now, the only thing he lacked was martial arts. Without a master, he would definitely not be able to defeat the enemy.

As for the Fiery Blaze Divine Technique, Gu Feng wasn't in a hurry to cultivate it. After all, he had a heaven-defying martial art like the Life and Death Dealing Heaven Technique, so he had to focus on it.

At that time, Liu Ming would have to see if the [Starfire Divine Art] and [Life and Death Heaven Seizing] techniques conflicted. If the two martial arts techniques' energies clashed, he could not cultivate it.

The 'Fire Elemental Explosion' was divided into three levels: the 'Small Circle Realm', the 'Large Circle Realm', and the 'Peak Realm'. When one reached the Small Circle, one could draw six layers of Essence and condense them into a small round ball, which could then be used to attack the enemy.

If one could cultivate to the great circle realm, they could draw out the eight layers of origin energy within their body to form a large round ball and use it for explosive attacks.

As for reaching the pinnacle of cultivation, one could also draw out all of the origin energy within one's body and form a giant sphere, erupting with terrifying strength.

The most terrifying part of this martial art was that it could be used instantaneously. It did not need to be used like other martial arts, where one would have to have a short pause after a single attack.

At the foot of the mountain.

A youth was practicing his fist art, his aura soaring to the skies.

This youth was none other than the trash disciple of the Blue Martial Palace's Outer Palace Hall, Gu Feng.

Gu Feng was covered in sweat, but he didn't feel it at all. He was still bitterly cultivating.

"Fire Yuan Explosion, Small Circle Realm, boom!"

Gu Feng shouted loudly. His figure flashed, and a green ball of light appeared in his hand. He quickly extended his hand, and instantly shot the green ball of light towards a pile of rocks not far away.

Boom.

The loud sound was like the explosion of thunder. Smoke rose up from all directions, and the entire pile of rubble flew into the air.

"What a strong attack, and it's even a fire origin energy explosion that draws out three layers of origin energy. If it were to draw out six layers of origin energy, then that attack would have the strength of over 10,000 tigers."

Looking at the attacking power of the explosive fire martial art, Gu Feng was excited. He had practiced this martial art for seven days and had finally mastered it.

If others were to find out, they would be shocked. A Mortal Level 9, and in just seven days, you managed to reach that level. How amazing was this speed?

Some martial arts cultivators with poor aptitude might not be able to successfully learn a set of martial arts even after several months or even several years had passed.

Following that, Gu Feng continued to cultivate the 'Fire Essence Explosion'. After two days and two nights of hard work, the heavens finally showed their good intentions and allowed him to cultivate the 'Fire Essence Explosion' to the great circle.

"It's time to go to the Weapon Hall and change my sword to practice 'Sky Sword Slash'." Gu Feng stopped cultivating and whispered to the sky.

The 'Sky Sword Slash' was also a martial art taught to him by the black and white picture on his dantian three days ago.

After obtaining the Sky Sword Slash, Gu Feng was not in a hurry to practice it. Instead, he had trained the Fire Yuan Explosion to the great circle realm, because without improving his cultivation level, there was no way that the Fire Yuan Explosion could be cultivated to the peak level.

Moreover, he was insatiable and impure. Only by single-mindedness would he be able to master a martial arts technique.

At the same time, after half a month of hard work, his cultivation had also increased by quite a bit. He had broken through to the 7th level, to the 8th level of the Martial Fate Realm.

"The monthly test is going to start in a week. It seems that I need to hurry up and train. I must enter the inner hall to train." Gu Feng looked at the setting sun and whispered coldly.

Outer hall disciples did not have any status, they still needed to complete the missions issued by the elder deacon.

During this period of time, because of what happened last time, the deacon in charge of the beast shed, Liu Ming, was constantly targeting him.

Of course, this is also not the reason why I want to become an inner palace disciple so badly. The main reason was because his main enemy, the one who killed Huo Ling'er, Wang Haoran, had broken through to the peak of the ninth level, awakening his 5-star Fate Realm.

Wang Haoran's powerful talent immediately caused a sensation in the Blue Martial Hall. On that day, he was ordered by the higher ups to become an inner hall disciple and was personally taught by the hall master and the ancestors of the Blue Martial Hall.

Hearing this shocking news, Gu Feng was not discouraged. On the contrary, he was full of fighting spirit and his killing intent soared to the sky, making him work even harder in his cultivation.

No matter who it was, it could not stop his determination to kill Wang Haoran.

This was why he was so anxious to enter the inner palace. Only by entering the inner palace would he have the chance to kill Wang Haoran, or even kill him.

Gu Feng also knew that the current Wang Haoran had become the pride of the Blue Martial Palace. If they wanted to kill him, they wouldn't be able to do so within a short period of time.

It wouldn't be too late for a gentleman to exact vengeance in ten years. Since they had been estranged from each other, there was no need to wait for another three to five years …
