Martial Research Master

Chapter 47



But what people don’t know clearly about are the powers that are set amongst these bunch of countries, the sects. These sects were holy cultivation grounds, where cultivators from all the surrounding nations come to gain knowledge and cultivate the martial way.

The group of countries are said to form a prefecture and each prefecture has these hegemonic existences called the sects. The Jiao country was situated in the Ling Prefecture.

The Ling prefecture had 6 top powers namely the six sects. But there was a difference in actual prowess even within these sects. The hegemon and assumed ruler of the prefecture was the Star Emperor Academy.

It was the strongest force and was famous not only in Ling but the nearby prefectures as well. Its heritage was said to be the most ancient among the sects present, and the true power was quite tyrannical.

Unlike the other academies, Star Emperor Academy was not famous for any particular trade. It had the pinnacle workplaces and facilities of all the practices in the Martial world. Its pill cultivation and weapon smiting were said to be equivalent, if not greater than the pill hall and firmament palace.

It was the real dream zone of the cultivators.

......................................

Currently, Sheng Wanglong (Long Tao’s alias) was approaching to report for joining. It was the last sect he was reporting to. Long Tao had a proper explanation prepared for the delay.

He first trained for a whole month within the forbidden zone of the Jiao clan, by which he didn’t actually join any institute because of not having to give an explanation for the fast growth.

He decided to join and see the general sect scenario in all the institutes before joining in the Hegemon power. He was estimating the amount of potential he was going to show in the incubation test.

He had seen the reaction of the various elders to his potential and also seen the hidden monsters of the various academy. The Star Emperor sect being the most ancient one is sure to have officials who are in Qi King Realm.

Otherwise, it is was quite difficult to hold your position as an overlord of the region.

The incubation test of the Star Emperor academy was way different from the other ones. The test was to be sealed unless the participant has not completed all of it. The path of admission was not going to be short this time. Long Tao proceeded towards the slab of elemental testing.

He asked the keeper to showcase 3 elements this time. Water, Fire and Thunder. These are the three elements that Long Tao decided upon for showcasing. Fire and water were two mutually opposite sets of elements. That made the body with both the affinities quite rare.

Also, such a body was fit to cultivate the Yin-Yang laws. The opposing forces were after all the most basic form of Yin-Yang. Thunder on the other hand was an element that promoted speed, and power. This was a good combination of elements.

The next test was the talent test of the martial artist. There were rows of martial Steele containing the Dao understanding of the ancestors and previous cultivators of the Star Emperor academy.

The greater number of Steele one was able to comprehend, the more his talent in a martial way. Long Started the comprehension. The first Steele was that of a peak Qi child realm practitioner. The essence was soon gasped by Long Tao.

A faint intent was emitting form the Steele. Upon feeling it multiple time, Long Tao was finally able to understand what it was. Although he had gasped the teaching, the intent emitted was of a Qi child realm practitioner who had managed to gasp Saber intent to small accomplishment even before entering the Qi master realm.

Long Tao was shocked by this. There was actually someone present who was able to gasp intent, that to the peak of small completion before entering the Qi master realm. Although Long Tao had been able to gasp 5 types of intent, namely, sword, spear, sabre, halberd, and force, he had not managed to take anyone for them till the small accomplishment level.

It was a great opportunity for him. If the first Steele was already containing an intent in it, the Steele that was going to follow up had to have contained intents that were of peak advance 1st level or even perfection.

Long Tao was elated by this. He instantly called upon half of the avatars within the crimson lord world to comprehend the intents at the same time. Now the avatars were divided into comprehending intents and the rest cultivating the body and Qi.

Long Tao now started to temper his intent with the help of the intent from the stele. His intent was tempered again and again. And soon enough a set of moves began to show up in his mind.

The first step that came into being was a simple horizontal slash. Long Tao started practicing that in the room. Slowly he gasped the move and finally was able to reach a perfect execution. Soon enough the next move showed up.

It was a vertical slash. The same procedure followed until he reached the perfect execution. The moves that were next soon came up one after the other. A diagonal lash, quick stab, back slash.

Long Tao (and the avatars) took some time to master all these steps into perfect execution. After the completion of the last slash, a step originated. It combined the intricacy of back slash and diagonal, but the footwork was that of straight slash.

Finally, there was rotation footwork and the execution came at last. This was the most difficult move. Long Tao took a while to comprehend it and was able to execute it finally.

A single execution took almost the whole Qi of Long Tao. Thankfully he had such large Qi reserves. He then started to extract Qi from the avatars while replenishing it with the help of pills, medicines and the Crimson world Qi.

The practice continued. Only after the 20th execution was completed was Long Tao able to master the step to complete perfection. As Long Tao ended his practice, unknowingly his sabre intent had already reached the small completion level. A technique appeared in Long Tao’s mind “Star saber”.

Long Tao then moved up to the next stele. This time it was spear intent rather than saber. Long Tao repeated the same training methodology, and after another long period of time, he was able to advance his Spear intent to a small completion peak.

“Star Spear. ”

The process continued until Long Tao was able to have

“Star sword.”

“Star halberd”

” Star hammer”

“Star force.”

The last one was the one that amazed Long Tao the most. he never expected there to be an art that could enhance his attack power. he understood that force intent multiplied the power output, but if the art was combined with it, an additional set of force was added to the attack.

Long tao knew that there was more to the arts which he obtained. All of them were incredibly powerful but felt incomplete. The stele must contain a part of the whole art.

There were intents of other weapons in the proceeding steles, but Long Tao choose to ignore them as he was not adept in these fields.

Finally, Long Tao reached the 10th stele. By now he had comprehended and advanced all 6 of his intents to peak small accomplishment level of the 1st stage.

The elder in charge was initially not showing any interest to Long Tao, but when he saw him being able to not only sense the intents but also comprehend, cultivate and perfect each of the intents to the small accomplishment levels, and learn the techniques, he was shocked.

What shocked him, even more, was that Long Tao actually did the same with 5 more steles. It meant that the brat had managed to not only learn 6 intents before stepping into Qi master, but he also upgraded all of them to peak small accomplishment level.

Even if the test was supposed to not end until all the stages are completed, he decided to inform all the elders. Soon enough a large group of elders arrived. They started monitoring the test of Long Tao.

“5 intents into the peak small accomplishment level. This is probably the most monstrous talent to ever have stepped into the sect.” One of the elders said,

” Let’s not forget about the top 5 of the younger generation. Each one of them had comprehended multiple intents to small accomplishment before they stepped into the Qi master realm. Some even comprehended intermediate intents.”

The elder who had said the words before took this as a negative remark to his statement and said” Do you want to bet on how far this child can go?”.

The other elder threw a look “Why not?”.

“Then I bet that he will be able to comprehend all his intents to the peak of intermediate accomplishment level.”. All the elders laughed together.

“Are you insane? He has already proved his worth but we should not over-estimate his capabilities.”. The elders giggled and bickered within themselves.

Long Tao was standing in front of the 11th stele now. As he comprehended the understanding and felt the intent, his blood started boiling and his skin was scratched slowly. This was intermediate level intent of sword. The tempering continued.
