Perhaps after achieving the completion stage with the Clear Breeze Sword Style and apprehension of the way of the sword. His cultivation of the Shao Shang Sword Style only required half the effort and he achieved completion in just 9 days.

The power of the Shao Shang Sword Style at the completion stage is astounding. With a swing, even if the tree trunk had a thickness of two individuals hugging each other, it could hack it in half. Its sword strength was at least twice that of the Clear Breeze Sword Style.

As the Cyclone Kick Style and Clear Breeze Sword Style were similar in nature. Both required the need to become one with the wind. Thus, in 3 days, Li Fuchen cultivated the Cyclone Kick Style to completion.

”I guess it's time to practice my live combat skills skills.”

Cultivation, techniques, and martial arts were one's foundation. Under the situation where the foundations of two individuals are equivalent, live combat experience would become the difference.

Since young, Li Fuchen never partook in any live combat, hence he understood what he was lacking.

Armed with his steel sword, Li Fuchen departed with resolve and set off towards the Misty Mountains.

***

The Misty Mountain was huge in magnitude. It's name did not originated from Yunwu(Misty) City, rather it was due to this misty range surrounding the city, hence the name of Yunwu City came to be.

Menace engulfed the mountains, under the mist was where the demonic beasts ruled. Even demons resided within.

Encompa.s.sing the perimeter were the Cla.s.s 1 demonic beasts and demons, possessing the strength of Qi Stage fighters.

Just slightly closer to the center, Cla.s.s 2 demonic beasts and demons would start surfacing. They were at the same level as Origin Stage fighters. A peak Cla.s.s 2 demonic beast would simply eliminate an Origin Stage fighter. As for a Cla.s.s 2 demon, even a ninth level Origin Stage fighter would die 9 out of 10 times.

Naturally, Li Fuchen wouldn't want to give up his life, he plans to just train along the perimeter since Cla.s.s 1 demonic beasts aren't life threatening.

Along the desolated path, Li Fuchen flew at a breakneck pace.

Using the time to hurry along the way, Li Fuchen took the chance to trained his Cyclone Kick Style. A great example of killing two bird with a single stone.

2 hours past, Li Fuchen arrived at the edge of the Misty Mountains.

”As expected of the Misty Mountains, the fear is setting in by just standing in front of this wilderness.”

Roaming in this danger filled territory, Li Fuchen could feel all his hair stand up.

Shoot!

Shooting from underneath a tree was a slim and green shadow, closing in on Li Fuchen.

At the crucial moment, using his lightning reflexes, Li Fuchen reached out and grab that green shadow.

The shadow was a green snake. It was violently twitching as it was grasped tightly by Li Fuchen,

”Cla.s.s 1 low-tier, demonic beast, Green Striped Snake. It's strength can't even be compared to a first level Qi Stage fighter, but it's venom can mean death for even those at the sixth or seventh level of the Qi Stage.”

”The Misty Mountains are more treacherous than I thought…”

Li Fuchen reflected upon himself, if it wasn't for his evolved soul spirit, he wouldn't have been able to catch the Green Striped Snake. It would have resulted in his death by its venom.

Li Fuchen pushed on with vigilance. Activating his five senses, coupled with the support of his qi and pus.h.i.+ng it to the limits. Even when a blade of gra.s.s moved, he would be able to sense it.

”Mm? It's a medicinal herb!”

Li Fuchen focused his sight. Not far away on a hill, there was a pet.i.te flower. It was a low-tier, yellow cla.s.s herb named: Jasper Dew Flower, worth 2000 gold coins.

2000 gold coins is not a small sum. 1 gold coin is worth 10 silver coins or 1000 copper coins. A regular household income in Yunwu City is around 10 gold coins annually. Even though Li Fuchen is the son of a Patriarch, his monthly allowance is only 10 gold coins. Foraging the Jasper Dew Flower, he placed it inside a sizable jade box. The price of this jade box was around 10 gold coins, it is able to preserve the qi of herbs.

***

With time ticking away, Li Fuchen trailed along the ridges.

Teng!

Applying force on the surface with the ball of his feet, Li Fuchen traversed by using the trees as steps. After just a few winks of an eye, he landed on the top branch of a ma.s.sive tree and looked at the vast landscape ahead.

Just as Li Fuchen mounted the ma.s.sive tree, in the bushes ahead, was a sinister demonic beast.

The beast was brownish yellow in color, about 2.5 meters long including its tail. Paired with cold-blooded eyes, it gave a shuddering stare.
