Top-Class Comprehension: Start with Basic Fist Techniques-Chapter 227 - 122 Silent for 1 year, Blade 12 Appears!

Time flies; three months passed in the blink of an eye.

The northern battlefield has seen no fundamental changes.

The only change, perhaps, lies in Song Wuqing and Saint Origin One.

Last time, Song Wuqing fought a grand duel against Saint Origin One and defeated him.

However, Saint Origin One, galvanized by shame, secluded himself in cultivation for several months before challenging Song Wuqing again.

This time, in the rematch, Saint Origin One gained the upper hand and severely injured Song Wuqing.

Though Song Wuqing didn’t die, Saint Origin One’s blow left him dispirited and broken. He hasn’t set foot on the northern battlefield for months.

Some say Song Wuqing is cultivating a supreme martial art, while others claim he is comprehending the Ultimate Blade Realm.

The belief is that once Song Wuqing returns to the northern battlefield, he will surely defeat Saint Origin One and wash away the shame.

But regardless of whether Song Wuqing is in secluded cultivation or drowning in despair,

The truth remains: ever since Song Wuqing fell, the northern battlefield has shifted into a one-sided massacre.

The martial artists of the Great Fish Dynasty have utterly lost their morale, slaughtered relentlessly by the Northern Barbarians.

At this rate, it seems the end of the northern battlefield is near.

If the northern battlefield crumbles and the Northern Barbarian army marches southward, the Great Fish Dynasty will certainly be unable to hold them back.

On this day, Song Wuqing arrived once again at Lu Changsheng’s courtyard.

He silently stared at Lu Changsheng without uttering a word.

"Swish."

Lu Changsheng opened his eyes.

He had noticed Song Wuqing long before, but he chose to ignore him.

Focused and calm, Lu Changsheng examined his attribute panel.

Host: Lu Changsheng

Comprehension: 2760 (Praise from all sides)

Starry Sky Waterfall Concept: Progress 1%

Ninefold Leap Over the Dragon Gate: Level Five

The first thing Lu Changsheng noticed was the Blood and Qi Sword Forging Secret Technique—10 years of sword forging!

By calculating at 1,200 ding of power per year, ten years amounts to over 12,000 ding!

12,000 ding could break through astral light.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng could unleash a terrifying force exceeding 12,000 ding.

"Song Wuqing."

Lu Changsheng slowly spoke. "How strong is Heaven Heart?"

Song Wuqing remained silent for a moment before answering, "Even combined, Saint Origin One and I couldn’t be Heaven Heart’s match. If there’s a scale for comparison, under the enhancement of Slaughter Intent, Heaven Heart’s power likely approaches 10,000 ding, or perhaps has already reached 10,000 ding!"

Lu Changsheng understood.

Heaven Heart is no weakling; he has firmly held the top position on the shen power ranking. How could such a figure be ordinary?

12,000 ding of power is still not enough for a guaranteed kill against Heaven Heart.

Thus, Lu Changsheng decided to wait longer.

When the time came for action, he had to be completely assured of victory.

With that, Lu Changsheng closed his eyes again.

"Nine months already, Sword12—how much longer are you going to wait?"

Song Wuqing asked.

It had been nine full months since You Shifei and his comrades were killed by Heaven Heart.

During this time, Sword12 hadn’t taken a single step outside his courtyard.

Song Wuqing didn’t even know what Sword12 had been waiting for.

"Song Wuqing, you should focus on defeating Saint Origin One and reclaiming second place on the shen power ranking, rather than sitting here waiting for me to team up with you."

Lu Changsheng kept his eyes shut.

Then, no matter what Song Wuqing said, he remained silent and didn’t respond.

Time passed, moment by moment.

The matters of the northern battlefield seemed utterly irrelevant to Lu Changsheng.

Three more months elapsed.

"Swish."

Suddenly, Lu Changsheng opened his eyes.

A year had passed!

An entire year had gone by!

He remembered clearly—it had been a year since the Krupp Slayer Team’s final mission, where they were killed by Heaven Heart.

You Shifei, Yang Zhen, Tong Xuan, and Tie Yuan—all died heroically.

The original purpose of Lu Changsheng forming the team had been to use his companions as shields, ensuring his own absolute safety.

Even You Shifei and the others at the time understood this.

However, when the moment came, when You Shifei and the others truly shielded Lu Changsheng and sacrificed themselves, only then did Lu Changsheng realize—he couldn’t let it go!

He was not an entirely cold and heartless person.

The deaths of the four were like a thorn lodged deep in Lu Changsheng’s heart, tormenting him for a whole year.

During this year, Lu Changsheng hadn’t just been accumulating power and improving his strength; he’d also been calming his inner turmoil.

And now, he had achieved inner peace.

Lu Changsheng glanced at the Blood and Qi Sword Forging Secret Technique. After a whole year of "sword forging," his sword of blood and Qi had reached 12 years and 9 months of forging.

This equated to a force surpassing 15,000 ding!

"15,000 ding—this is enough!"

Lu Changsheng slowly declared.

He had waited for this moment for an entire year.

Even if Heaven Heart truly possessed 10,000 ding of power, Lu Changsheng was confident he could slay him with a single sword strike.

It was simple—whether it exceeded 1,000 ding or more, it made no difference. It was overwhelming power.

What’s more, Lu Changsheng had now reached 15,000 ding of power!

Still, Lu Changsheng didn’t immediately rise from his seat.

Instead, he lifted his gaze.

A massive dragon gate appeared as if conjured out of thin air within the void.

Ninefold Leap Over the Dragon Gate!

Lu Changsheng had refrained from advancing in this technique for an entire year of accumulation.

Now, he sought to leap over the dragon gate.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, Lu Changsheng transformed into a dragon-fish, leaping out of the water toward the dragon gate.

Level Six!

Lu Changsheng effortlessly surpassed the sixth dragon gate.

Having undergone a year of refinement, the depth of Lu Changsheng’s cultivation in every aspect was already unparalleled.
