Chapter 49 Breaking Limits! Mind and Spirit Awakening!
In the following days, Su Yu continued to take over the duties for Senior Brother Xu, spending an hour each day instructing the apprentices in the front courtyard.
Among them, the Yang sisters, Zhen and Ai, were always clinging to him, taking every opportunity to invite him to dinner and visit his home.
Su Yu was focused on practicing martial arts and refused them all.
Late that night, the long-awaited change finally appeared on the panel.
【武学】：白猿拳（第一层）（入门50/5000），白猿六变（圆满），碧波鱼骨功（入门98/100），金钱掷（大成880/1000）
[Breakthrough Point]: 1 points (Progress 2%)
"Limit Break Points maxed out!"
A glint flashed in Su Yu's eyes.
To his even greater surprise, the progress bar didn't lock but continued to grow. This meant that the breakthrough points could continue to accumulate!
The previous change was that the accumulation of breakthrough points slowed down, but now there are new changes.
Fortunately, this time it's a positive change.
Previously, I could only accumulate a few breakthrough points, and once they were full, my progress would stop increasing, making it difficult for me to freely choose the direction of my breakthrough.
Most of the breakthroughs were achieved through perfect net-casting skills.
Now there are more choices!
However, there's no need to hold onto this point right now; it's best to directly break through the White Ape Six Transformations limit!
"Breaking the limits!"
The next moment, ink-wash style text lit up.
[The White Ape's Six Transformations broke through its limits on the first try!]
[Martial Arts]: White Ape Six Transformations (Limit Break 1 Time)
【Characteristics】: Mind as clear as an ape! The mind is as sharp as a monkey's, seeing through everything. When practicing any ape-type martial arts, the mind and body become one, doubling the proficiency gained; and the understanding of the true meaning of the moves is greatly enhanced, making sudden enlightenment easier.
"The mind is clear and focused..."
Su Yu felt his mind become clear and he was overjoyed.
This feature is perfect for me!
My current cultivation speed of the White Ape Fist is too slow. Just entering the beginner level requires a proficiency of 5,000 points, and my physical constitution is too poor. Even with the Red Ginseng Jade Skin Pill, I can only increase it by ten or twenty points every day.
If you calculate it carefully, even if you use all the pills you can, it will still take more than half a year to break through!
By then, the martial arts examination will definitely be too late!
But now, with the Mind-Brightness Clarity trait, his cultivation speed in the White Ape Fist has increased significantly. If he maximizes his elixir intake, perhaps he can break through a key acupoint before the martial arts examination in three months!
If we can break through by then, a top 20 finish will be no problem!
Moreover, I've heard that the enforcement team is very lucrative, and many powerful groups are vying to join it. The higher one's ranking, the higher one's position, and the more resources one can gain!
"Try this 'mental clarity' effect!"
Su Yu leaped to the center of the training ground and assumed a fighting stance.
"The white ape asks for directions!"
"Snapped!"
This punch not only caused his tendons to throb, but also possessed an indescribable charm. He was like a real white ape, frolicking and fighting in the mountains and forests!
Immediately afterwards, "Tongbei Pishan" and "Danglin Bu"... the whole set of boxing techniques was performed smoothly and exhilaratingly!
[White Ape Fist Proficiency +10]
"Ten o'clock!"
"Haha, that's awesome!"
Feeling that the amount of blood and energy generated in his body was much greater than usual, Su Yu couldn't help but smile.
With double the proficiency and the boost of sudden enlightenment, the cultivation speed is more than doubled.
In this way, even if the progress becomes increasingly difficult later on, we will definitely be able to make a breakthrough within three months!
"Let's try the Spirit Ape Demon-Subduing Blade again!"
Su Yu went to the weapon rack, drew out a thick-backed longsword used for practice, took a deep breath, and visualized the spirit ape subduing demons in his mind.
"First move: The Spirit Monkey Emerges from its Cave!"
His movements were as swift as lightning, and his blade flashed like snow.
The long sword emerged from behind him eerily, swift, ruthless, and precise!
"Second move: Subduing Demons and Splitting the Mountain!"
The blade shifted its momentum, becoming fierce and domineering, tearing the air apart and emitting a sharp whistling sound!
After practicing a set of sword techniques, Su Yu felt that he had not yet had enough.
[Spirit Ape Demon-Subduing Blade Proficiency +10]
"It really works! This Mindfulness-Based Clarity skill is simply divine!"
A burning ambition ignited in Su Yu's eyes. At this rate, by the time the martial arts examination was held three months later, he would not only be able to master the White Ape Fist, but he might even break through to the Spirit Ape Subduing Demon Blade Technique earlier, making it his trump card!
It looks like we need to get that precious sword forged as soon as possible!
……
A few days later, Xu Feng returned.
"Junior Brother Su, how's your training with the Spirit Ape Demon-Subduing Saber coming along?"
Su Yu returned the manual for the Spirit Ape Demon-Subduing Blade to Senior Brother Xu, saying, "Senior Brother, you've already mastered the basics."
Xu Feng frowned. The Spirit Ape Demon-Subduing Saber required a high level of comprehension in saber techniques, and in some aspects it was even more difficult than the White Ape Fist. It also placed greater emphasis on gaining practical experience in combat.
Junior Brother Su said he's mastered the basics?
Although he had some doubts, he knew Su Yu wasn't one to speak carelessly, so he nodded and said, "Let's practice!"
Su Yu nodded, picked up a long sword, and began to practice.
"Whoosh!"
A flash of light!
Su Yu moved with the agility of an ape, yet his longsword was powerful and heavy, unleashing each and every sword technique with unrestrained grace.
Xu Feng's expression changed repeatedly.
Good guy!
Junior Brother Su has actually mastered the basics of swordsmanship!
This is Master's ultimate technique, the Spirit Ape Demon Subduing Blade, which is said to take three years to master!
Back then, it took him several months to barely grasp the knack, but now Junior Brother Su has reached this level in just a few days?
The more he thought about it, the more alarmed he became. It turned out that Junior Brother Su's talent for swordsmanship was the strongest!
Master, Master, are you sure you don't want to take this promising student?
Xu Feng chuckled inwardly. He suddenly decided not to tell his master immediately. He would wait for the martial arts examination three months later, when his junior brother Su would make a name for himself. Perhaps his master would be dumbfounded then.
Upon seeing Su Yu stop, Xu Feng immediately composed himself and forced a calm demeanor.
"Hmm, not bad."
"Your swordsmanship has indeed reached the basics, and it's sufficient for actual combat. However, compared to when I was your senior brother back then... cough, you're still a bit lacking. Remember to avoid arrogance and impatience."
Su Yu sheathed his sword, looking curious: "May I ask, senior brother, how long did it take you to master the basics back then?"
Xu Feng's expression remained unchanged. He extended one finger, paused, and then extended it to two.
"Two days?"
Su Yu was startled. Senior Brother Xu's ability to break through to the Flesh Refining Realm was indeed extraordinary.
I reached this level in about two days by using the panel. However, I didn't have the "Mindfulness and Clarity" effect during the first two days, so I'll only get faster after that!
As for doubting Senior Brother Xu, Su Yu hadn't considered it. After all, Senior Brother Xu had always been calm and composed, a reliable and steady person.
After chatting for a while, Su Yu mentioned the invitation from the Yang sisters.
Xu Feng said seriously, "The Yang family runs a legitimate silk business with a good reputation. Their business has only grown significantly in the last two years, which is why they haven't had many official positions or stipends before. If you're short of money, it's fine to take on an official position. Most of our martial arts school's disciples have official titles in various places; it's a form of networking."
"Moreover, the Yang family has connections with our White Ape Martial Arts School, so the terms they offer won't be bad."
"But remember, it's okay to do things for money, but don't get too involved. For a martial artist, strength is fundamental!"
"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother." Su Yu felt more confident.
"By the way, Senior Brother Xu, I'm planning to take a few days off these next few days. I have some things to take care of after breaking through to the Martial Realm."
"Go! As the successor of a martial artist, you will be the backbone of the martial arts school. As long as your master doesn't say anything, you are free to do whatever you want."
……
The next morning.
Su Yu went to the city to exchange some silver coins and changed into a new set of close-fitting clothes, making him look energetic.
He touched the silver in his pocket, intending to go to the blacksmith shop to find Wang Hu's father and get the matter of forging the precious sword settled.
However, just as he reached the entrance of the martial arts school, someone rushed up to him, "Something terrible has happened, Senior Brother Su! Something's wrong at home!"
