Chen Ying's eyes widened in shock when she saw the fallen monster corpses. She flipped off the balcony and quickly approached Shen Ping, and after confirming the monster corpses, her Face could no longer suppress its astonishment.
"How, how is this possible!"
She found what she saw unbelievable. One had to know that yesterday, Shen Ping had struggled significantly to kill even one Advanced Beast Soldier. Yet, overnight, this Shen Ping had actually killed more than ten Advanced Beast Soldiers, and one of them, a Tiger Mastiff, was even close to the Warrior-level!
At this moment.
Shen Ping killed an Advanced Beast Soldier, briefly processed the Materials, then put away his battle blade. Looking at the pile of corpses, he showed a satisfied expression.
The Flowing Wind Blade technique is known for its speed and movement technique, second only to the Nine Heavy Thunder Blade. Once mastered, both movement and blade techniques become incredibly swift.
He was already close to the Senior Warrior level, and with the internal force added by the first stage of the Flowing Wind Blade technique, combined with his movement technique, killing Advanced Beast Soldiers became much easier.
"Ying Jie, you're awake!"
Shen Ping walked over to greet her.
Chen Ying stared at Shen Ping without blinking.
"What's wrong, Ying Jie?"
Shen Ping touched his Face.
Chen Ying couldn't help but say, "What's wrong? After just one night, you, your strength has improved so much?"
Shen Ping smiled, "Ying Jie, are you talking about these Advanced Beast Soldiers? I had a Breakthrough in my blade technique last night, so killing Advanced Beast Soldiers today was much easier. Compared to Ying Jie, I'm still far behind!"
Chen Ying was speechless.
She was a sniper, and also skilled in cold weapon archery, which allowed her to Break through the sniper's upper limit to the Warrior-level.
But even so, for her to kill more than ten Advanced Beast Soldiers, she would have to seize the right moment, unlike how easy it was for Shen Ping just now, as if he was chopping melons and dicing vegetables.
"You've finally got it, kid. Oh, right, you said your blade technique had a Breakthrough. What blade technique are you Cultivating?"
Chen Ying's Face was full of curiosity.
Blade techniques, gun techniques, hammer techniques, and other Secret Manuals are almost universally Cultivated by Martial Artists, because these can increase explosive power in a short time, and this is especially important when fighting monsters, as it can greatly improve combat power.
"Flowing Wind Blade technique!"
Shen Ping said casually.
"What? Flowing Wind Blade technique? The Flowing Wind, second only to the Nine Heavy Thunder Blade?"
Chen Ying was stunned, then her eyes widened.
The Nine Heavy Thunder Blade is famously difficult to Cultivate, and the Flowing Wind, which costs fifty billion, is likewise. Many Martial Artists Cultivate such high-ranking Secret Manuals, but very few can master them, with most not even able to master the first stage.
"You've mastered the first stage?"
"Yes."
Shen Ping nodded. There was nothing to hide about this, as he would definitely be using his blade technique frequently in his upcoming battles with monsters.
Chen Ying's chest rose and fell, then she slapped Shen Ping's shoulder heavily and laughed, "Well done! I knew your talent was good. To be able to Cultivate the Flowing Wind Blade technique to the first stage, your full burst of power now can rival a Warrior!"
"Let's go, let's meet up with the Captain. She'll definitely be very happy to hear this news!"
Saying that, she pulled Shen Ping's arm and rushed towards the county center.
Initially, the Captain had accepted Shen Ping out of consideration for her Face. These past few days, Shen Ping's poor performance had made her anxious, but now it was fine. Shen Ping's outstanding performance proved she hadn't misjudged him!
Shengyuan Community.
A relatively tall building in County 0385.
At this time, the main members of the Black Ice Squad were staying on the rooftop of a tall building. The view here was open, allowing them to observe the monsters in the county streets and buildings to the maximum extent.
In fact, many squads choose the rooftop of the tallest building in a city. This not only allows them to rest, but also to efficiently search for Warlord-level monsters.
"Captain, it's been seven or eight days now, why don't I go check on the abandoned small building?"
Wang Zhan looked at Bai Feng, who was observing the monster situation on the street with binoculars, and couldn't help but speak. The abandoned small building was located on the edge of the county, and the surrounding area was basically all Beast Soldier-level. Chen Ying's strength was enough to handle it, but Chen Ying was a sniper after all, and not very good at close combat. It would be very troublesome if she was surrounded by Beast Soldiers.
Wang Zhan originally disagreed with letting Chen Ying train Shen Ping alone, as it was too dangerous, but he couldn't refute the Captain's decision.
"Don't worry, Chen Ying can handle it."
Bai Feng said lightly. She understood Chen Ying very well. The latter had once entered the Wilderness Area alone for several months to hone her archery skills. In terms of experience and ability to survive, even she might be inferior.
It was precisely because of this that she dared to let Chen Ying train the newcomer Shen Ping alone.
Besides, the abandoned small building was not far from here. If there was an emergency, they could quickly go and provide support.
"Captain, Chen Ying and Shen Ping are coming over. Should we go meet them?"
At this moment, Li Zi next to them suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, Bai Feng moved her binoculars towards the abandoned small building and indeed saw two figures quickly approaching Shengyuan Community, avoiding groups of Beast Soldiers along the way.
"It looks like the training has paid off!"
A smile appeared on her Face. "Li Zi, you and Wang Zhan go and meet them."
Swish, swish.
Two figures quickly left along the stairs.
Not long after.
Chen Ying, Shen Ping, and the other four returned.
Bai Feng looked at Chen Ying.
Chen Ying, with an excited expression, walked up to Bai Feng and whispered, "Captain, we've found a treasure this time!"
Bai Feng's delicate eyebrows raised, and she glanced at Shen Ping, who was following behind Wang Zhan and Li Zi. "How so?"
For Chen Ying to praise him so much, it seemed Shen Ping had made rapid progress these past few days.
Chen Ying didn't rush to answer, but chuckled and said, "Xiao Shen, show the Captain your progress these past few days!"
Wang Zhan and Li Zi looked puzzled upon hearing this.
Shouldn't showing progress involve fighting monsters?
Shen Ping, however, was helpless, but still immediately drew his battle blade and began to demonstrate on the rooftop. He moved with flowing grace, like a leaf drifting in the wind. Each time he landed, he would lightly sway and flash several steps away, while the battle blade in his hand produced a large expanse of blade shadows, continuous like raindrops.
"This is... the Flowing Wind Blade technique??!"
Bai Feng also used a blade. Although she hadn't Cultivated the Flowing Wind, she had once seen a powerful individual use this blade technique to fight a Lord-level opponent. That ethereal, wind-like lightness and lightning-fast, ghostly speed were not like fighting, but like performing an art.
And now, although Shen Ping looked far from that powerful individual, his movement technique and blade speed already had a hint of that initial form.
"You've entered the initial stage? No, someone who just entered the initial stage would absolutely not have this movement speed. Has he mastered the first stage?!"
Bai Feng's expression at this moment was exactly the same as Chen Ying's earlier, filled with surprise and shock.
"What? The first stage of the Flowing Wind Blade technique?"
"How is that possible?"
And Wang Zhan and Li Zi's reactions were even more exaggerated, their eyes widening in almost identical movements.
After all, this kid Shen Ping was only 21 years old and had just touched the threshold of a Senior Warrior. Many Warrior-level Martial Artists who Cultivated Flowing Wind hadn't even entered the initial stage.
At this moment.
Shen Ping had already put away his blade. He humbly said, "Captain, I gained some insights while fighting monsters these past few days, so I fortunately mastered the first stage!"
For him, mastering the first stage was nothing to show off. One had to know that Luo Feng was already an Invincible God of War at 19 years old!
However, in the eyes of Bai Feng, Wang Zhan, and others, mastering the first stage of Flowing Wind at 21 years old was indeed very remarkable, and could even be called the work of a Genius!
"Very good!"
Bai Feng's smile deepened. "Chen Ying is right, our team has indeed found a treasure this time. Your talent and potential are very high. If you can master the second stage within half a year, then you will have hope of trying your luck at the Dojo of Limits's Global Training Camp!"
Shen Ping's heart stirred.
The Dojo of Limits's Global Training Camp?
That was indeed a good place, but the Elite Training Camp was his true pursuit. Only by entering the Elite Training Camp and obtaining the various Cultivation resources within could he quickly Break through to the Planetary Level. Otherwise, relying solely on his own diligent Cultivation every day, even with the Golden Finger's assistance, it would take at least several years to Break through to the Planetary Level.
After all,
the Martial Artist talent of this descended body wasn't particularly outstanding.
"Alright, from now on, Shen Ping will be cultivated as a core member of our squad. Does anyone have any objections?"
Bai Feng asked.
Wang Zhan and Li Zi had no objections whatsoever. With Shen Ping's talent and potential, it wouldn't be long before he reached the Warlord-level. By then, with the amplification of the Flowing Wind blade technique, his combat power would surpass theirs.
Chen Ying smiled and blinked, "Xiao Shen, you really need to work hard. If you can truly go to the Global Training Camp, Ying Jie will rely on you to cover her in the future."
Shen Ping quickly said, "Ying Jie, stop teasing me. The Global Training Camp isn't that easy to get into."
Wang Zhan and Li Zi also laughed.
Of course, they knew that the Dojo of Limits' Global Training Camp was very difficult to enter. Even if Shen Ping mastered the second stage, it was only a possibility.
Bai Feng clapped her hands at this moment, "Alright, stop chatting, let's continue searching for Warlord-level monsters. We've been out for quite a while this time. In a few days, we'll have to return to the supply base for rest. Let's try to hunt a Warlord-level monster in these few days."
"Alright!"
Wang Zhan, Li Zi, and the others responded loudly.
With a promising newcomer like Shen Ping in the team, they were full of drive.
