...

Only five days!

In just five days, with the continuous practice and assistance from his third disciple, Nan Jinyu, Chen Wuji has reached the mastery level of the "Stormy Sword Technique."

[Martial Skill: "Stormy Sword Technique" (Mastery Level: 1083/1500)]

If Chen Wuji were to practice it himself, it would take him at least five months to achieve this.

The speed at which his disciple helped him is astonishing.

From this, one can see Nan Jinyu's talent in the Sword Dao.

She's quite interesting.

The more proficient Nan Jinyu becomes in the "Stormy Sword Technique," the higher her loyalty towards Chen Wuji.

It increases almost every day.

After five days, Nan Jinyu only approached Chen Wuji once to ask about any doubts or difficulties in the practice of the "Stormy Sword Technique."

Chen Wuji explained briefly, and she understood. Then, she immersed herself in practice.

Except for eating, sleeping, and going to the bathroom, she spent all her time in the "Stormy Sword Technique," which led to Chen Wuji's mastery of the technique.

[Name: Nan Jinyu (Hidden Dragon Gate's third disciple)]

[Age: 17/95]

[Gender: Female]

[Status: Healthy]

[Location: Chen Family's estate in White Water County]

[Cultivation: Fourth Layer of the Body Refining Realm]

[Skills: "Fish Swallowing Technique" (55% affinity), "Earth Dragon Fist" (61% affinity), "Cloud Piercing Saber Technique" (8% affinity), Winding Snake Steps (69% affinity), "Stormy Sword Technique" (73% affinity)]

[Talent: Sword Dao's Favor]

[AFK Training: Available]

[Loyalty: 65]

...

Check Nan Jinyu's panel information.

Indeed, the "Stormy Sword Technique" has the highest affinity at 73%.

The "Cloud Piercing Saber Technique" is only at 8%.

The gap in affinity between sword techniques and saber techniques is nearly tenfold.

If it weren't for the panel display, not many people would be able to tell.

"Oh? Fourth Layer of the Body Refining Realm? This girl has made a breakthrough?"

Suddenly, Chen Wuji noticed Nan Jinyu's cultivation, which had already reached the mid-stage of the Body Refining Realm.

"I didn't expect the third disciple to be the first to break through to the Fourth Layer of the Body Refining Realm."

Chen Wuji sighed.

His eldest disciple, Su Dayong, was still at the Second Layer of the Body Refining Realm, despite training with Chen Wuji for the longest time.

His second disciple, Han Ying, was at the Third Layer of the Body Refining Realm.

The others were either at the Second Layer or the Third Layer of the Body Refining Realm.

Nie Xiaoxiao and Nie Shuangshuang were only at the First Layer of the Body Refining Realm.

Only when they reach the Fourth Layer of the Body Refining Realm can they be considered competent.

"There were no signs of a breakthrough before. It seems that the benefits come from the 'Stormy Sword Technique'."

The compatibility of martial skills is high, and the mastery progress is deep, naturally leading to a greater transformation of the physique.

And the Body Refining Realm is the process of tempering the body and refining the spirit.

So Nan Jinyu's situation is not an exception.

"Body Refining Fourth Layer, this girl didn't even mention it."

Chen Wuji laughed.

Every time you break through the First Layer and advance again, the medicine and pills you take are different.

Based on Chen Wuji's understanding of Nan Jinyu, the little girl is probably immersed in sword practice and doesn't take breakthroughs seriously.

As Nan Jinyu's master, Chen Wuji knows the situation but cannot ignore it.

At this moment.

Chen Wuji left the study and first found the old housekeeper, instructing him to provide Nan Jinyu with corresponding medicine for the Body Refining Fourth Layer.

Then, he found Nan Jinyu and told her to rest when necessary after breaking through the Body Refining Fourth Layer.

At the same time, he warned the little girl about the matters to pay attention to after breaking through the Body Refining Fourth Layer.

Finally, he asked, "I have observed your 'Winding Snake Steps' and it has reached a certain level. You can now cultivate another light body technique called 'Electric Light Steps', which emphasizes speed and explosive attributes. Do you want to learn it?"

"...Does it conflict with the 'Storm Sword Technique'?" Nan Jinyu remained silent for a moment and asked.

"Of course not." Chen Wuji shook his head, "Not only does it not conflict, but with good coordination, it can even increase the power of the 'Storm Sword Technique' by one or two percent."

"Then I'll learn it."

Nan Jinyu saluted respectfully and said, "Thank you, Master!"

Chen Wuji raised his hand slightly.

"If you want to learn, learn it together with the others."

Chen Wuji turned around, with Nan Jinyu following behind.

In addition to Nan Jinyu, there were four other disciples who met the condition of reaching a certain level in the 'Winding Snake Steps': Chen Yifan, Duan Zhen, Chen Qingning, and Nie Xiaoxiao (Nie Shuangshuang), who was about to be promoted to the seventh disciple.

These five people, along with Nan Jinyu, all had a compatibility of over 60% with the 'Winding Snake Steps'.

Chen Wuji gathered the five of them and taught them the key points of the 'Electric Light Steps'.

When all five of them got the hang of it and became familiar with it.

Chen Wuji opened the panel information and checked the compatibility of the 'Electric Light Steps' with the five of them.

He found that Nan Jinyu had a compatibility of 60%, just passing.

Chen Yifan had 41%.

Duan Zhen had 80%, which was quite high.

Chen Qingning had 75%, which was also good.

What surprised Chen Wuji was Nie Xiaoxiao (Nie Shuangshuang), whose compatibility with the 'Electric Light Steps' was as high as 92%, even higher than her 88% compatibility with the 'Winding Snake Steps'.

It was a perfect match!

"Could this girl be a martial dao genius?"

Chen Wuji murmured.

...

That night.

Chen Wuji sat cross-legged on the bed, drinking white jade ginseng water to cultivate, waiting for midnight to arrive.

After several days of continuous cultivation, the 'Easy Womb Turtle Breathing Technique' was about to reach completion.

With the completion of the cultivation technique, there would be an additional boost to Nurturing Spirit.

For this, Chen Wuji was full of anticipation.

Time passed.

Midnight was approaching.

Suddenly, Chen Wuji opened his eyes wide, and a gleam of light burst out from his eyes.

The enhanced hearing of the Body Refining Realm's Eighth Layer allowed him to hear someone entering the courtyard from thirty steps away outside the house!
