Halfway through, Zhang Yan turned to Long Yu and said: "Don't forget our arranged battle, we'll meet on the stage in a month."

It was a provocation, a blatant provocation. Long Yu's face turned green, and angrily bellowed: "You know about the duel between us, and you better not be afraid to come."

After Zhang Yan left, the Great Elder beside Long Yu asked with some doubt: "What happened? What have you done with him? "

Long Yu nodded his head vigorously, "Don't worry Grandfather, I will definitely defeat him on the day of the competition. I will step on him and tell the disciples of Azure Essence Sect that I am the most talented."

"Well said, this is my grandson. Let go, grandpa will back you up."

Zhang Yan was supported by Fatty back to his own residence, "Fatty, do you know where there are Spirit Medicine s that can be sold?"

The Fatty heard and nodded his head: "From what I see, you just don't have enough Qi and Blood, the Spirit Medicine Pavilion s in the sect do have a lot of Spirit Medicine, but the price is too expensive, furthermore, we only have the silver that flows in the mortal world, we don't have any Spirit Stone, we can't even buy them if we want to."

Zhang Yan reached out and took out the Iron Armor Lizard's demon core, "This is the demon core of a Iron Armor Lizard at the sixth level of the Innate Stage.

"Alright," Fatty received the demon core and left the house excitedly.

In less than an hour, Fatty, who was covered with wounds, weakly walked back in.

Seeing the swollen face of Fatty, Zhang Yan asked worriedly, "What's wrong? What happened? Was he beaten up by someone? "

Fatty took out Qi and Blood s that were nourishing Qi and Blood s from his storage bag. There were thousand year old Blood Lingzhi, hundred year old Blood Replenishing Grass and more than ten other Spirit Medicine s that were replenishing Qi and Blood s, "These were all exchanged for that demon core. If there's nothing else, you can cultivate in peace.

"Wait," Zhang Yan called out to Fatty, "What happened to the injuries on your body? Did someone hit you? "Hurry up and tell me."

Under Zhang Yan's repeated questioning, the Fatty sighed and said: "I had a little conflict with someone outside of Spirit Medicine Pavilion, they threatened me to snatch the Spirit Medicine in my hands, and in the end, they sparred with me for a bit. You know my strength can't compare to the inner sect disciples, but they also have to worry about the sect rules, so they didn't attack me too heavily.

"Then go back and cultivate. Once I've recovered, we'll go find them together," Zhang Yan said in an extremely angry tone. "You dare to bully my brother, Zhang Yan, I will definitely not let them off."

After the Fatty left, Zhang Yan sat crossed legged on the bed, and placed the Spirit Medicine in front of him into his hands. Streams of the blood red Qi and Blood's power flowed through every corner of Zhang Yan's body and was absorbed into his body. Zhang Yan only felt that his body was improving, his originally sluggish body also became much firmer, and Zhang Yan's face started to turn ruddy as well. Not only that, the excess Qi and Blood energy had also been used by Asura to repair the wounds on his body, and the injuries on Zhang Yan's body were also quickly being healed.

After Zhang Yan completely absorbed all the Spirit Medicine that the Fatty bought back, Zhang Yan's body recovered to its peak condition. The wound that he originally needed to recuperate for a few days to heal, had now completely recovered. Although his Dantian was still as empty as a field, with just his body, Zhang Yan was confident that he would be able to defeat a third stage Innate Stage warrior.

Zhang Yan's body had recovered, and Zhang Yan had also started to recover the Spirit Energy s within his Dantian. This time, Zhang Yan took out the first prize, and out of the ten Cloud Spirit Grass stalks, he placed one in his palm. Zhang Yan quickly operated the Asura Transformation, and the Cloud Spirit Grass in Zhang Yan's hands, was withering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This time, Zhang Yan trained for a whole day and shared out three of the Cloud Spirit Grass stalks. It was only on the morning of the second day that Zhang Yan woke up from his cultivation.

Zhang Yan felt that his cultivation had improved yet again, and was close to breaking through to the sixth level of Innate Stage, so he couldn't help but be in a good mood.

Zhang Yan arrived at the back mountain of the Azure Essence Sect alone, found a secluded place and took out the stone sword in his storage ring. He started to cultivate according to the Azure Essence Sword Art recorded in his head.

The Azure Essence Sword Art had a total of only three forms. It seemed simple, but cultivating it was extremely difficult. The higher the level of a martial skill, the harder it was to cultivate. It required a martial artist to have a very strong talent and comprehension ability, which meant that the higher the spirit root level of a martial artist, the faster they would cultivate martial skills.

never knew what level his own spiritual roots were. This time, when he was training in the Azure Essence Sword Art, Zhang Yan felt that his spiritual roots were very heaven-defying, and it was said that he had the Innate Stage's physique, royal level spiritual roots, and heavenly talents. He had cultivated it for ten days, and only after a month did he master the first style of the Azure Essence Sword Art, and only after a year did he master the Azure Essence Sword Art.

Zhang Yan on the other hand, was different. From morning until the afternoon, he had already mastered the first move of Azure Essence Sword Art. This kind of terrifying comprehension ability was enough to prove that Zhang Yan's spirit root was not ordinary.

Zhang Yan cultivated day and night in the rear mountains, and after ten days, he stood in front of a twenty feet tall boulder with a sword in hand. The stone sword in Zhang Yan's hand moved, and instantly swung out a sword, but this sword strike did not use the slightest bit of Spirit Energy, and only relied on the might of his sword technique.

"Crack!"

The gigantic boulder in front of Zhang Yan split into two from the middle. Only then did Zhang Yan keep the stone sword in his hand with satisfaction, and laughed: "I never thought that cultivating the Azure Essence Sword Art is so hard, to actually take ten days to reach mastery, but its power is actually very strong, worthy of being a Heaven Ranked Martial Technique."

After finishing the cultivation of the Azure Essence Sword Art, Zhang Yan took out the martial skill he obtained previously, flipped through it, and realized it was a movement technique called the Azure Cloud Step. Zhang Yan could not help but laugh and say: "I already have the sword techniques, what's lacking is the movement techniques, I never thought that the Great Elder would reward me with a movement technique, it's really too great."

Zhang Yan flipped open the Azure Cloud Step's introduction. Azure Cloud Step, a high level Mortal Stage movement technique...

"Walk on air!"

Zhang Yan was immediately interested, it had to be known that being able to fly in the air was everyone's dream, it was just that only people who had reached the Martial Ancestor Realm could support the Spirit Energy in their bodies and then be able to fly in the air. And could this Azure Cloud Step really allow Innate Stage Warriors to fly in the air?

Thinking about that, Zhang Yan immediately started cultivating, following the steps of the Azure Cloud Step, he started to walk on the ground extremely seriously. Initially, it felt extremely awkward and slow, but Zhang Yan did not give up, and continued to walk patiently.

Zhang Yan's figure also became faster and faster, until in the end, all that could be seen was an afterimage shuttling through the forest, which became faster and faster. If he was tired, he would rest for a bit, and after resting, he would continue to train.

Time flew. In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Zhang Yan's Azure Cloud Step had also been cultivated to perfection. With a flash of an afterimage, Zhang Yan instantly appeared ten meters away. Zhang Yan came to the riverside, and looked at the fifteen meters wide river in front of him. Zhang Yan let out a long sigh, "Take a look at my Azure Cloud Step."

Zhang Yan stepped onto the air, and an afterimage immediately floated past him on the surface of the river. Like a willow leaf, Zhang Yan gently floated to the shore, the water surface did not fluctuate at all, while Zhang Yan, on the other hand, was on the other side of the river, laughing as he said: "This Azure Cloud Step is not bad, although I am not able to fly, but I can still fly for a period of time."

After cultivating successfully, Zhang Yan looked in the direction of the Azure Essence Sect's outer sect. His eyes were filled with killing intent as he said coldly: "Ma Yong, I won't let you off.
