“It’s the same as your thick-earth sword,” Night Wind replied.

Zhuo Er didn't think much of it and took out the Thick Earth Blade from his dantian, saying, "Since that's the case, then I'll show Mr. Feng my self-created Earth-Splitting Blade Technique!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuo Er lunged at him with his knife.

Zhuo Er's speed wasn't very fast, but the force in each of his strikes was extremely powerful, approaching the True Yuan Realm.

Moreover, Zhuo'er's offensive was relentless, one strike after another, seemingly forming an unstoppable momentum.

If you fail to block even one strike, you'll fall into a vicious cycle and be completely forced into a disadvantageous position!

However, in Ye Feng's eyes, Zhuo Er's self-created Earth-Splitting Blade Technique had far too many flaws.

After only a few rounds, Ye Feng suddenly thrust out a sword like lightning, heading straight for Zhuo Er's throat!

However, when Lei Ji's sword tip was only a finger's width away from Zhuo Er's throat, Ye Feng stopped.

"That was close!"

"Zhuoer said in surprise."

Night Breeze smiled and said, "Senior Brother Zhuo'er, you must be dissatisfied. Let's have another competition."

"good!"

Zhuo Er nodded and attacked Ye Feng again.

A few moments later, Zhuo Er was defeated by Ye Feng once again, with Ye Feng's sword held to his neck.

Ye Feng sheathed his sword and stood there, while Zhuo Er looked down at the thick earth blade in his hand, lost in confusion.

"Why is this? I clearly feel that my sword is stronger, far surpassing yours, but why am I always defeated by you?" Zhuo Er scratched the back of his head and said.

"This is the consequence of having a rudimentary and unrefined swordsmanship."

Night Wind raised his longsword and suddenly slashed at the training stone.

A sword aura shot out, instantly leaving a deep sword mark on the training stone.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Feng gently swung his sword again, and Lei Ji's sword blade slashed through the flower bushes beside him, deftly avoiding every petal and every green leaf.

The sword flashed, but not a single petal or leaf was severed!

"See that? That's my swordsmanship."

"If you can practice your swordsmanship to the level I have, then you might be able to defeat me."

Night Breeze said with a smile.

Although Ye Feng didn't explain much, his two completely different sword strikes shocked Zhuo Er!

Zhuo Er stood there dumbfounded, holding the thick earth knife, his mind filled with the two sword strikes Ye Feng had just unleashed.

Looking at Zhuo Er, who was like a puppet in front of him, Ye Feng smiled.

An hour passed, and Zhuo Er still hadn't come to his senses.

Two hours passed, and Zhuo'er still stood there quietly like a wooden figure.

Three hours passed, and Zhuo Er remained the same.

Suddenly, a woman walked in from outside.

The woman was wearing a white dress with a white fox fur shawl draped over her shoulders, and her delicate oval face gave her a lively and sweet appearance.

Seeing Zhuo Er standing in the front yard like a fool, with a young, unfamiliar man standing beside him, the woman immediately spoke up to ask him questions.

However, Ye Feng waved his hand, signaling her not to say anything.

The woman looked puzzled, but she didn't say anything more and stood quietly to the side.

Another hour has passed.

A breeze picked up in the courtyard.

The fallen leaves in the flowerbed were swept up by the wind and flew in the air, filling the entire yard with dancing leaves.

At that moment, Zhuo Er suddenly opened his eyes wide and his body moved violently!

Zhuo'er's figure flashed, his speed increased, and his swordsmanship became more and more fierce.

The sound of metal clashing against metal echoed from the training stone, and sword marks appeared on its surface.

However, not a single leaf flying in the air was hit by the blade.

All the sword flashes skillfully avoided the falling leaves in the air, as if they didn't exist, or as if the sword flashes and the falling leaves existed in two different worlds!

Upon seeing this, the woman in the white dress showed a look of surprise!

Thump!

Zhuo Er knelt heavily on the ground, holding the thick earth knife in both hands and laughing wildly. His aura suddenly increased, and he broke through the barrier in an instant!

True Essence Realm!

Zhuo Er has broken through to the first level of the True Essence Realm!

"I've finally mastered my swordsmanship!"

"I've finally broken through to the True Essence Realm!"

"Hahahaha...hahahahahaha..."

Zhuo Er burst into loud laughter, but his face was covered in tears.

At this moment, Zhuo Er truly seemed to be insane.

Suddenly, the woman in the white dress shouted, "What are you laughing at! So what if you've reached the True Essence Realm? There's still the Divine Travel Realm, the Transcendent Realm, and the Saint Realm to come! Zhuo Er, you've only gone halfway on your martial arts path; you're far from reaching the end!"

With a shout from the woman in the white dress, Zhuo Dun suddenly snapped out of his daze.

Wiping away his tears, Zhuo Er put away his thick earth knife and strode up to Ye Feng, then respectfully bowed deeply to him.

"Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Feng!" Zhuo Er said earnestly.

Night Wind laughed and said, "No need to thank me. This is your own good fortune. You have accumulated a lot of experience, which is why you were able to achieve such a breakthrough."

"No, no, no, if it weren't for Mr. Feng's guidance, it would have taken me much longer to grasp the true essence of my swordsmanship and break through to the True Essence Realm! Mr. Feng, you are definitely my benefactor!" Zhuo Er said sincerely.

The woman in the white dress glanced at Ye Feng, and a look of surprise appeared on her face again.

"Junior brother, who is this...?"

Zhuo Er smiled and said, "Senior Sister, this is Mr. Ye Fengfeng, the weapon refiner who was personally introduced to our sect by the Grand Elder."

After a pause, Zhuo Er continued, "Mr. Feng personally crafted a sixth-grade spiritual weapon for me. Today, Mr. Ye sparred with me and guided me in swordsmanship during the sparring, which is why I was able to comprehend a higher level of swordsmanship and break through to the True Essence Realm!"

Upon hearing Zhuo Er's words, the woman in the white dress curiously looked at Ye Feng.

Zhuo Er then said to Ye Feng, "Mr. Feng, this is my senior sister Bai Lan. She has already reached the Divine Travel Realm."

Ye Feng immediately bowed to Bai Lan.

Bai Lan smiled and shook her head, saying, "Mr. Feng, there's no need to be so polite. You are a distinguished weapon refiner, so there's no need for you to bow to me."

Are weapon refiners really that prestigious in the Underworld Sect?

The night breeze was both amused and exasperated.

It seems that the Underworld Sect truly values ​​talent!

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Compared to the other top sects, the Netherworld Plateau is much more barren and lacks cultivation resources.

In such an environment, the quantity of elixirs and spiritual artifacts would naturally be limited, and high-grade elixirs and spiritual artifacts would be even fewer.

As a result, the Underworld Sect naturally attaches great importance to alchemists and weapon refiners.

"I heard that the Grand Elder personally introduced a master craftsman to our Netherworld Sect. I'm very curious and was planning to visit the crafts workshop sometime. I never expected to meet you here today, Mr. Feng. It seems we are quite destined to meet," Bai Lan said with a smile.
