Taking a deep breath and ignoring the intense fluctuations of spiritual energy, Sun Zhe gently opened the purple scroll. At that moment, a line of pale golden text suddenly caught his eye, causing his pupils to slightly constrict and his gaze to sharpen. A look of surprise flashed across Sun Zhe's face.
"Ninefold Shadow, Low-Rank Earth-Level Martial Technique, Body Technique, when cultivated to perfection can create nine phantoms, moving at incredible speed, making it hard for others to defend against."
Sun Zhe instantly rolled up the scroll and held it tightly in his right hand. He stood up immediately, his expression filled with even greater excitement. He had not expected that this reward would be an exceptionally precious body technique. High Human-Grade Martial Techniques were already incredibly rare, and high-level body techniques were even more scarce. This Earth Rank low-grade body technique was definitely comparable to an average Earth Rank high-grade attack martial art.
"If I can master this Ninefold Shadow within this month, my strength will surely increase significantly, giving me a better chance of survival in that place."
His gaze flickered as Sun Zhe murmured to himself. He knew he was not lacking in offensive techniques; he already possessed the Mighty Fist and Sword Technique, making him unafraid of both long-range and close-range attacks. However, his body technique was a weak point. In battles, he usually relied on strong offense or defense and rarely compared his skills in body techniques with others.
Now that Sun Zhe had been recovering from his injuries for nearly two months, there was only one month left until that place opened. Although his cultivation was just half a step away from Thunder Master, making him the First Person under Thunder Master, Li Cangyun had informed him that countless Thunder Master-level experts had fallen in that place over the centuries. The danger level was no less than that of a dragon's den or tiger's lair. Even though Sun Zhe was confident in his strength, he still felt uncertain about facing such a perilous location.
With this body technique now in hand, he finally felt a glimmer of hope. As long as he mastered this skill, even if he couldn't win, at least he could escape. Sun Zhe had no notion of needing to engage directly in battle; if he could eliminate his enemies without fighting, he wouldn't waste any effort.
Thinking this way, Sun Zhe once again unfurled the scroll recording the Ninefold Shadow Martial Arts and began to study it carefully.
…………
In the late afternoon at dusk, Sun Zhe stood quietly on the flat ground of the courtyard.
He was now an Inner Sect Disciple. Although he had remained in the Outer Sect to recover from his serious injuries, his treatment far exceeded that of Outer Sect Disciples. For instance, this independent courtyard was exclusively for him; there was no one else inside or outside it. Without his permission, even esteemed elders could not step inside.
Dressed in a white long robe with long black hair gently swaying in the breeze, he exuded an air of calm detachment. Standing there alone, he seemed to embody a natural grace reminiscent of his master Li Cangyun's demeanor.
If Li Cangyun were here, he would surely be astonished, for the aura exhibited by Sun Zhe has already aligned with the Dao. This level of mastery is far beyond what an ordinary Thunderer can grasp; even a newly initiated Thunder Master cultivator would fall short. With his Four-Star Thunder Sovereign cultivation, Sun Zhe only has a superficial understanding of such a realm, yet this cultivator, who has not yet reached the Thunder Master level, has already comprehended a significant portion of it, which is truly remarkable.
The wind continued to gently blow, and Sun Zhe seemed to have turned to stone, standing motionless like an ancient stone statue.
Suddenly, he moved.
A blinding purple light flashed forth. As a cultivator who has one foot in the Thunder Master Realm, Sun Zhe was able to initially display the true power of thunder cultivation. With a flicker of Purple Radiance, faint purple arcs of electricity appeared around his feet. Waves of violent Purple Energy swirled around his knees, and Sun Zhe felt as if he had become significantly lighter, as if he could leap several feet in a single bound. This sensation was incredibly pleasant!
Immediately after, his footsteps became like shadows as he swiftly stepped out. Three feet to the left, his left foot landed precisely in place; two feet ahead, his right foot followed suit without missing a beat. One foot to the right, two feet ahead, half a foot back… Following the instructions on the scroll, Sun Zhe's Thunder Spirit Power surged within him as his feet accurately struck one precise position after another.
As time passed, Sun Zhe's movements quickened beneath him. His steps became increasingly familiar; eventually, he no longer needed to look at his feet but relied entirely on instinct to find the correct positions. His entire movement gradually transcended clumsiness and began to flow like dancing butterflies, dazzling to behold.
Unbeknownst to him, another Sun Zhe appeared in the courtyard. Although this Sun Zhe was merely an illusion, both figures moved rapidly together with such similarity that they seemed like one person.
The Purple Radiance beneath his feet grew denser, and his speed increased further. The illusion began to solidify as if it possessed flesh and blood, indistinguishable from the real Sun Zhe. If someone were to enter at this moment, they would surely struggle to identify which one was the true Sun Zhe—unless they were an exceptionally powerful being whose perception surpassed Sun Zhe's speed; such individuals capable of seeing through this illusion were few and far between.
Suddenly…
A gust of wind arose, startling several birds perched on an old tree. They flew off in panic, creating a flurry of noise in the courtyard.
As the startled birds flew past, Sun Zhe's steps momentarily faltered, and his moving figure came to a halt.
"Two figures… still lacking in initial control; what a pity…" A hint of regret flashed in his eyes as Sun Zhe couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Mastering body techniques is extremely important; many gifted individuals can grasp them during their first practice session. However, after that initial attempt, improvement relies solely on hard work, causing progress to slow down significantly.
According to the scroll, mastering the Ninefold Shadow to create a triple shadow is considered a preliminary grasp, while achieving a sixfold shadow can be counted as success, and only when one manifests the Ninefold Shadow can they be said to have reached a great level of mastery. Currently, Sun Zhe has only managed to create two shadows, still some distance away from the threefold shadow and not yet at the preliminary mastery stage.
"There is still a month left. I believe that before then, I will definitely reach the realm of threefold shadows."
Although Sun Zhe's movement technique is ordinary, it is not at such a poor level. Given his current progress, it is unlikely that he will cultivate the Ninefold Shadow to completion within a month, but achieving preliminary mastery is not too difficult, and Sun Zhe is confident in this.
Looking up at the sky, he realized that it was already getting dark without him noticing.
"The days of cultivation pass even faster than the time spent studying with my teacher in the past. I wonder how my teacher... sigh, never mind, that's all in the past. The most important thing now is to resolve my current matters..." Gently brushing off the dust on his clothes, a glint of determination flashed in Sun Zhe's eyes. He is not someone who likes to dwell in sentimentality, especially regarding things that can no longer be changed; he prefers not to mention them.
"Brother Sun, it's time for dinner..." A light and graceful voice suddenly rang out, melodious like a lark. Looking up, he saw a white figure appear outside his courtyard, holding an exquisite food box. This woman was none other than the rumored first beauty of the Outer Sect—Shen Yan.
