Water Ink Panel: Starting with Bow Technique to Hunt the Sun and Patrol the Skies

```

Indeed, that was the case.

Not only had the progress of the Wind Defying Finger improved, but the progress of other Martial Arts such as the Blood Dominance Technique, Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill, and Dragon Roar Iron Cloth Shirt also increased to varying extents.

It's just that the Wind Defying Finger happened to be on the brink of a breakthrough, which was why such performance was observed.

"Then let's make the breakthrough now."

Shen Qing licked his dry lips, showing no intention of taking a pause.

In his past life, when reading novels, he often saw many protagonists take a break when they progressed too rapidly.

The reasons given were that advancing too quickly in cultivation could lead to insufficient Qi and blood or an unstable foundation, which could affect future achievements, and so on.

To him, these reasons were pure nonsense.

Now that he was practicing multiple skills simultaneously, he found that these basic Martial Arts were all about digging into and enhancing the body's potential. They used the same set of Qi and blood without conflict, and the argument about an unstable foundation didn't apply.

Even if it did, his Water Ink Panel could overcome it.

At this moment, Shen Qing had firm belief in Li Linfeng's note: more is beautiful, and bigger is stronger.

As long as one was fast enough, powerful enough, and had solid defenses, they could still kill their opponent even if their realm was slightly inferior.

Shen Qing gathered his thoughts and said seriously, "Water Ink Panel, break through for me!"

The information on the panel refreshed quickly.

[Skill: Wind Defying Finger (Mastery)]

[Progress: 3/400 points]

[Status: Unavailable for improvement]

[Note: You have used the Wind Defying Finger to thrust at throats and kill people multiple times, gaining enlightenment of the "One Finger Seal Throat" skill. With this skill, you can quickly latch onto your opponent's vital points, killing invisibly and ending lives with a single move.]

A buzzing sound.

All of a sudden, Shen Qing clutched his head, feeling a surge of intense pain.

A mixture of strange yet familiar memories and experiences began to surface in his mind out of nowhere.

It seemed as though he had killed countless people with the Wind Defying Finger, until at a certain moment, he had an epiphany and mastered the killing technique "One Finger Seal Throat".

It took a good while before the pain gradually subsided.

Shen Qing put his two fingers together like a sword, and instantly felt a very familiar way to strike in his heart.

"It seems I have yet another method of killing from now on."

Shen Qing glanced at the Water Ink Panel where the word Mastery under Wind Defying Finger now appeared.

Only after he emerged from that mentally muddled state, without having time to relax his mind, did he suddenly feel a warm current slowly rising from his Dantian, traveling quickly along his meridians to the tips of his fingers.

The warm current grew stronger and stronger, like flames leaping at the fingertips, hot yet full of power. Read further on m_vl em,pyr

Shen Qing knew it was the Qi and blood going wild, a sign that he was condensing Qi Sensing after Wind Defying Finger reached the level of Mastery.

The Wind Defying Finger technique was exquisitely intricate, emphasizing the control of finger movements through Qi, with the finger wind sharp as a blade.

Once practiced to the level of Great Perfection, reaching the Qi Cultivation Realm, one could condense powerful Qi strength.

With a single flick, it was like wind sweeping away the remnants of a storm, nothing would remain unbroken.

Before reaching the Qi Cultivation Realm, the Skin Forging Realm was the beginning of cultivating strength and Qi.

In other words...

A look of incredulity filled Shen Qing's eyes.

He clenched his fists and brought them crashing into each other.

Clang!

A crisp, metallic sound emanated from Shen Qing's fists.

He knew this was not a true metallic sound but rather a similarity to the sound of his bones, indicating his bones had grown strong enough to produce such a tone.

"It's Bone Refining! I've succeeded in Bone Refining!!! I've now advanced to the Skin Forging Realm."

Shen Qing was overjoyed in an instant.

He had no idea what the process of cultivation was like for those nobles and high officials in the court, nor where he stood in terms of talent in front of them.

But without a doubt, compared to the lower-level martial masters, his speed of cultivation was absolutely astounding.

In just over a month, he had traversed a path that would take lower-level martial masters a year or even several years to walk, and to call it monstrous would not be an overstatement.

The transformation within his body was still ongoing, and Shen Qing dared not slacken one bit; he immediately adjusted his breathing and concentrated all his mental energy on the tips of his fingers.

```

The warm current gathered at the fingertips, gradually forming a thread-like nascent Qi.

This Qi was initially very weak, like a tiny spark on the grassland, ready to extinguish at any moment.

During his cultivation over the past month, he had consulted his fellow disciples about Qi and learned some of the key aspects.

Shen Qing quickly focused his mind, not daring to be careless, striving to stabilize that change.

Gradually, the nascent Qi became more solid and sharper.

Until at last, Shen Qing could clearly feel the Qi jumping at his fingertips.

"Stabilized."

A glint of excitement flashed in Shen Qing's eyes as he stood up, pointed his fingers like a sword forward, and the Qi whistled out following his will, tracing a clear path through the air, emitting a faint sound as it broke the silence, hitting the wall and dispersing.

A look of surprise appeared on his face.

After trying repeatedly for a while, Shen Qing stopped his gestures and murmured to himself, "The current Qi Sensing is still quite weak, mainly relying on the power of the flesh to initiate, it's not very useful when emitted from the body. It's best to maintain the same way of confronting enemies as before."

Shen Qing concentrated the Qi Sensing around his fingers and suddenly pointed it down towards the chair below him.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound.

The wooden board on the chair instantly splintered.

Right where Shen Qing's finger had touched, a hole broke open, as wide as a wrist.

"The power is much greater than before. Previously, one finger would only make a hole, but now it has burst open a gap."

Shen Qing brought his fingers together in a sword-like gesture, examining them closely in front of him.

"Then, what would happen if I combined this with the might of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill?"

[Skill: Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill (Skilled/Second Transformation)]

[Progress: 13/300 points]

"Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skill, Qi-Blood reversal."

Shen Qing uttered softly and pointed a finger towards the chair in front of him.

"Boom!"

A booming sound echoed through the room.

The chair, which was somewhat intact a moment ago, exploded into chunks of wood in an instant, scattering throughout the room.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that the edges of each shattered piece of wood were charred, emitting smoke as if burned.

"This..."

Shen Qing stood stunned, looking at the scene before him with a surprised expression.

If this move were to land on a body of flesh and blood, wouldn't it directly blast a person into pieces?

He suddenly felt so powerful.

After using this move, Shen Qing soon felt waves of weakness wash over him.

This was the physical backlash caused by the Qi-Blood reversal technique.

At the beginning, during the First Transformation, it wasn't very noticeable, but now, after advancing to the Second Transformation, it had become quite different.

Shen Qing sat on the edge of the bed, silently regulating his breathing.

It took him over a dozen breaths to recover.

"Now that I've broken through to the Skin Forging Realm, I should seek the Hall Master for the next step in the training method, and quickly advance to the Qi Cultivation Realm."

After regaining his breath and ensuring there were no issues with his body, Shen Qing quickly left the room and headed towards the direction of the Inner City Linfeng Hall.

It took nearly a quarter of an hour for Shen Qing to arrive at the entrance of Linfeng Hall.

Without another word, as soon as A Fu opened the door, he headed straight for Li Linfeng's study.

Fortunately, Li Linfeng was still in his study and had not gone elsewhere.

Shen Qing knocked on the door, "Disciple Shen Qing seeks an audience."

"Come in," Li Linfeng replied from inside the study, closing an account book, "What is it?"

Shen Qing entered, bowed with his hands clasped, and said, "Master, I wish to learn the training method for the Skin Forging Realm."

"Hmm?" Li Linfeng, who had been frowning, suddenly looked up, his sharp eyes firmly fixed on Shen Qing.
