9 Peak of the Second Rank (2/2)

Lightly Floating Ferry was, without a doubt, the skill with the highest rank amongst those he had. The problem was that it was partially ruined and was very hard to learn.

“When Angry Dragon Fists and Air Pushing Breathing Technique are used together the damage is awesome. I just do not know how good Lightly Floating Ferry will be.” Zhao Feng was full of expectations.

Immediately, he started to meditate on Lightly Floating Ferry. When he concentrated, the faint green glow inside his left eye’s pitch black dimension spun faster and faster.

Zhao Feng felt that Lightly Floating Ferry’s moves were burned into his mind, which made it easier for him to understand them. It was not as simple to learn as Angry Dragon Fists or Air Pushing Breathing Technique.

“Lightly Floating Ferry is harder to learn than a peak middle ranked skill by at least two or three times…” he concluded after he compared the skills.

Although it was hard, it did not stump him. Zhao Feng only needed three days to understand the first quarter of of Light Floating Ferry at a beginner standard.

He only used six days to achieve the beginner level.

Normal skills had four ranks that depended on how well trained one was in it. These were: Beginner, Low, High, and Peak level.

Beginner level equaled thirty percent of the maximum power of the skill.

Low level equaled fifty percent.

High level equaled seventy percent.

Peak level equaled ninety percent or higher.

Zhao Feng had easily trained Angry Dragon Fists to High level.

Lightly Floating Ferry had been trained to beginner level in the same amount of time, but it was only the first quarter of the skill.

_Sou!_

Zhao Feng’s body flashed, his body as light as a bird as he floated five meters up in the air.

_Teng! Teng!_

His feet pushed off the branches and felt fabulous as he flew.

At that moment, Zhao Feng was like a bird happily flying through the forest.

_I have only trained Lightly Floating Ferry to the beginner level, but the speed of it far surpasses most middle ranked skills that have been trained to a high level._

It could be seen that Lightly Floating Ferry far exceeded most high ranked martial art skills!

When there was extra time, Zhao Feng did not forget to slowly decipher the rest of the book. Now he had deciphered half of the total book. The only problem was that it took a lot of mental energy to do so.

After Lightly Floating Ferry reached a beginner level, Zhao Feng started to train in Angry Dragon Fists and Air Pushing Breathing Technique again. This was because Lightly Floating Ferry only helped with his footwork and didn’t increase his cultivation much, even though it was a high rank martial art skill.

After training in a high rank skill such as Lightly Floating Ferry and then going back to training Angry Dragon Fists and Air Pushing Breathing Technique, Zhao Feng felt that his movements had become easier and smoother.

********

_After two days..._

Air Pushing Breathing Technique had broken through to its third level, and Angry Dragon Fists had reached the peak level.

At this time, Zhao Feng closed his eyes and felt the power that coursed through his body. His strength was greater than when he first reached the second rank by more than half. Inside his left eye’s dimension, the radius of the faint green glow had extended from 67cm to 98cm.

“It looks like my cultivation has reached the peak of the second rank. I just need one more step to break through into the third rank.” Zhao Feng took a deep breath and controlled his excitement.

It had only been half a month since he reached the second rank. This cultivation speed was just too surprising!

The thing that made him most astonished was the Air Pushing Breathing Technique as it reached the third level. Once Air Pushing Breathing Technique reached the peak of the third level there was a chance to understand Martial Path Inner Strength, chi, and that was the key point for becoming a true Martial Artist.

Zhao Feng never expected that he would reach the third level of Air Pushing Breathing Technique this fast. This made his strength far surpass the others who were also at the second rank. He could now be compared to a third rank!

By only using half a month, Zhao Feng’s strength had doubled. All of this was due to the mysterious eye.

Zhao Feng believed that his once normal destiny was changing…

That night, Zhao Feng started to set his life goals.

His first goal was to perform well at the family sparring contest one and a half months in the future. At that time he would fairly and squarely beat Zhao Yijian and spar with the true geniuses of Sun Feather City.

“The change in my left eye grants me a high level of understanding, and the only thing stopping me from becoming a genius in the sect is…cultivation resources,” Zhao Feng analyzed.

Since he merged with his left eye, his mental energy and analysis speed had increased. He also became calmer and steadier.

The only problem was, how to gain cultivation resources? Zhao Feng’s cultivation speed was fast, but it was still hard to break past the peak of the second rank. However, if he had enough resources, this barrier could be easily broken through.

“Got it!” Zhao Feng’s eyes twinkled and soon he had an idea. His lips curled into a confident smile.
