Martial Research Master

86 TEST- phase Long Tao proceeded with the flow and started to appear in the first test. A new environment appeared before him. He was in the middle of a battlefield, the only thing present in there was a sword. Long Tao tried to communicate with the keeper but was denied any help. He could only rely on himself for passing the test. An opponent soon arrived. This was the best who was at level 5 of the Qi master realm. The fight started. Long Tao was now immersed in the fight with the beast. Soon enough he killed the opponent, after which two beasts identical to the one before this appeared at the same time. Long Tao killed them too. The fight continued likewise. Each time he defeated opponents; an opponent stronger than the previous one appeared. The fight kept on escalating. Long too started to use this process to hone his skills. After all, he didn’t need to are about Qi reserves, the Origin avatar art took care of that. This was a good opportunity to understand his skills.

The other group of people who were still arrive also proceeded to the pavilion. They went through the same transition as Long Tao and were transported to an independent location like Long Tao. The weaker members started to get killed after some time because they couldn’t cope up with the increasing level of strength of their opponents. The girl and the Qi general s were able to cope with the levels. The fight continued. They didn’t know how long it had been since they began the fight. The changes each time was drastic and one should be able to jump levels to cope with the fight. Even the QI generals were having a hard time, but they were trained veterans of their force and hence were able to hold out.

Long Tao was currently testing his fire skills. The three arts were provided by the teachers. In addition, there were multiple elemental skills that he got from the Crimson Lord library. The skills he managed to master in the previous rounds were fire blast and fire fist. He was currently practicing fir sword manifest and fire shield. The fire sword manifest was art that aimed at the manifestation of the fire into an illusionary sword. The materialization of such an elemental power was easy. The difficult part was to maintain the shape and power outflow. Long Tao was concentrating on how to control that properly. The fight continued and soon enough Long Tao was able to regulate the length and breadth of the sword. The only thing remaining was the densification. Long Tao concentrated on the art and forgot about how many enemies he had killed until now.

It took him around 10 whole rounds to get the densification into control. He finally managed to master the art properly. The opponents that appeared this time were of QI master level 9. The first battle was easy to win since Long Tao was able to kill him. But the quantity began to increase. Long Tao had to decide which art to master this time. He searched his memories and since this was a sword sect, he felt like he needed to use this opportunity to hone all his sword skills. So, he recalled the two sword skills he got from the training grounds of the Star Emperor academy. The first art was Star Sword. He practices the moves again and again against the opponent. Long Tao reached the small achievement realm within 6 rounds. The intermediate achievement in sword skill required substantially more time. He took around 10 rounds to get there. The last part was the completion of the sword /perfection level. It required one to be able to involuntarily use the sword.

The arena became the training grounds for Long Tao to hone his skills. The constant slaughter helped him raise the skill level to a new height. The opponents grew more and more strong. The final stage of level 9 Qi master was having a 100 of them. Long Tao decided to slow his pace and hone his skill more. The transition in the attack type this time was a very basic one. Long Tao decided to not take the help of his strength but just his skills. The opponents were not disappearing as fast. This round lasted quite a bit. Just as the last opponent grapples towards long Tao from the back trying to take him by surprise, an instinctive move of cleaving occurred killing the opponent. Finally, the perfection of this technique was achieved. Long Tao was real exhausted this time. The efforts have paid up. He managed to reach the perfection level of the basic sword.

The next opponent soon appeared. This time there was only a single opponent, of Qi general level. The fight this time was quite easy for Long Tao. He wanted to see how long can he last against such an opponent. It took him three rounds to get completely acquainted with the basic sword skill. Long Tao was clearly very exhausted due to the expenditure of just the QI through the skill and not using anybody’s strength. He had relied on his body to become invincible until now, but he seems to understand his weak points. He began to draw out the QI from the avatars and prepared himself for the next round. It was time to learn the Basic Sword. The next set of opponents arrived and Long Tao continued his battle. By the time Long Tao reached the small accomplishment, his QI reserves of the body had totally depleted. He decided to try compensating with the draw rate from other avatars.

“I need to fight with my body cultivation for some time until I recover the Qi.”. This was the time that the other group just started their test. Long Tao was way ahead of them. The next few rounds were spent by using the body cultivation realm with the QI expenditure to kill the opponents. This time the draw rate manages to start replenishing the Qi in this body. After around 10-15 more rounds, Long Tao was finally able to feel full of Qi. The other avatars were starting to use Spirit stones to recover their QI. Finally, as Long Tao recovered, the cultivation of the opponents changed again. This time it was a Qi general stage 2 opponent. Long Tao was nervous. Except for the Blood general, he had never faced another QI general whose cultivation is above level 1. Long Tao had to use both of his powers to tackle and improve his skills simultaneously. The fight continued and Long Tao started having a very difficult time. Killing each opponent was extremely difficult.

A round passed and then two. Likewise, the rounds were passing one after the other. Just at the end of the 5th round although Long Tao was able to reach the intermediate level, he could no longer cope with the strength of the opponents. Also, these were just mindless beasts and puppets. If it were a human or a wise opponent, Long Tao would be dead by now. Long Tao was about to give up when he remembered a certain skill of his. He hadn’t used this skill since his fight with Mengchen. “Bloodline limit – berserker.”. Long Tao’s power increased exponentially. The next few rounds went well. But even berserker failed to cope up after some time. Finally, Long Tao returned back to his original form. The berserker art came to an end. Long Tao ‘s body was not able to move any longer. The next opponent arrived. This was Qi general level, 3 guys. He simply walked up and killed Long Tao. The world turned bloody and then black. Long Tao was teleported out of the place.

“Congratulations on being able to pass the first test with flying colors. Given your outstanding achievements, you are hereby allowed to have a prize for yourself. You have three choices. The first is a Qi King grade weapon. The second is an earth-grade skill. The third is a baptism in the blood pool. Choose your prize.” All three of the awards were good, but Long Tao already had a King’s weapon and if he was able to win the inheritance all the weapons here would be his. As for skills, he had three incredible manuals in his mind. SO the best choice was the Blood pool. Long Tao had a gut feeling that this was the best option.

.....

Long Tao was transported to another dimension. In front of him lied a blood-red water body, which was quite large. A high amount of Qi was being radiated from it. Long Tao was surprised. “Boy, this is a blood essence gathering pool. It has gathered the essence Blood of not only beasts. Practice your Blood tempering art in here. You might be able to complete the art till the Qi master max. level. Hell, you can even practice the weapon Tempering art. This provides the perfect material to create life weapons for the acupoints. Go fast don’t waste time.” Long Tao proceeded to the pool and jumped into it.
