Great Swordsman
Ch.54 - Fifth Stage and Heavenly Sword Technique
“I don't mean to be rude but you no longer have the ability to protect yourself.” Xu Feng said the truth, Tan Shuang's face grew stifling but he did not deny it, they had indeed lost the ability to stand in the wilderness.
Realizing that the situation was still hot, Xu Feng immediately added some fire. He mentioned that if they did not seek refuge, the destruction of the Tan Clan would be a matter of time.
Tan Shuang hesitated a little when she heard that, she fell silent for a while before admitting that what Xu Feng said was true. Let alone bandits, some travelers who may have bad intentions can drop them at any time.
“Master, can we follow you?” Tan Shuang asked with determination, he had already decided inwardly. The survival of the Tan Clan was now on his shoulders, he had to figure out a way for the blood of the Tan Clan to remain, no matter what.
Xu Feng was a very young strong swordsman, Tan Shuang believed that being in Xu Feng's protection was the right choice, especially considering that this young man was their savior.
There was no better choice than following Xu Feng, at least according to Tan Shuang.
“This.”
Xu Feng acted a little doubtful but inwardly was already shouting in excitement.
“Mr Swordsman, I beg you to accept us!” Tan Shuang gnashed her teeth when she realized Xu Feng's hesitation, her heart was already anxious and panicked.
“Good, but you must prepare as soon as possible! I plan to move tonight too.”
Xu Feng thought so deeply before taking out that sentence, he deliberately did it so that they would not assume following him was an easy matter.
Tan Shuang's face flushed red upon Xu Feng's confirmation, he was so excited that he didn't realize the wounds on his body were getting more and more open due to his excessive movements.
“Two!!”
Some of the servants reminded Tan Shuang carefully but their faces did not hide any excitement either. They themselves are happy with the decision, no one wants to live life in fear every day.
Tan Shuang did not care about the wounds on his body and immediately asked the waiter to spread the word to prepare for the traveling march, he stressed that they all should do it quickly.
He did not ask about the reason Xu Feng was intending to leave in a hurry.
“Oh right, do you guys have any Spiritual Stones?”
Xu Feng immediately entered his goal, he explained that he needed the Spiritual Stone to replenish his depleted qi after the fight.
Tan Shuang nodded and asked the servant to accompany Xu Feng to the clan's resource room. Tan Shuang did not mind in the slightest for thinking Xu Feng was anticipating an attack that might occur on the way later so as to restore the condition of his body to optimal condition.
Let alone Xu Feng being their savior, that alone was more than enough to hand over whatever this young man wanted.
“What a careful person.”
Tan Shuang looked at Xu Feng's back with complicated eyes, he didn't expect to meet a master in his small village, let alone still be a young man. To him the figure who was already at the Fourth Stage was a different world, receiving help from such a figure was simply wishful thinking in Tan Shuang's eyes before.
Tan Shuang sighed for a moment before her eyes closed, she tried to take as much rest as possible before making the trip.
“I'm lucky.” Xu Feng chuckled as he watched the wooden box in front of him, within it lay dozens of Spiritual Stones that moved his heart. Aside from the box, there were two more wooden boxes lined up beside it, all containing golden taels.
“Each box contains 100 taels of gold.”
Xu Feng slightly drooled, 1 tael of gold was equivalent to 100 taels of silver, that amount of money alone could already make him a local tyrant.
He then stepped up to take the Spiritual Stone, the money he had left behind so that the Tan Clan could use it to survive in Xue Village, Xu Feng had no manpower to nurture them personally in the future.

Do you want to absorb?
Yes / No
--------
“Hahaha I'm rich!”
Xu Feng laughed so loudly while absorbing the Spiritual Stone, his smile widened every time the number of energy units in the panel increased.
Not long after, the panel window displayed the most amount of energy Xu Feng had ever had.
---------
Name: Xu Feng
Cultivation Book: Storm Spring (Fourth Stage of the Mortal Realm) +
Cultivation Technique : Shadow Steps (Intermediate Realm), Mortal Heavenly Sword Technique (Basic Realm ) +, Body Lightening Technique (Intermediate Realm) +, Steel Body Technique (Not Learned) +
Available energy: 113
---------
Xu Feng was slightly amazed despite having prepared himself, this amount of energy was already able to help him reach a new level of strength.
Not wasting any time, Xu Feng immediately chose the Spring Storm Cultivation Book and broke through towards the Fifth Stage, a true master.
----------
It took 48 units of energy to advance the Spring Storm
Yes / No
--------
“Ya.”
Xu Feng's body was once again baptized by the forces of nature, his physical strength and all of his five senses were strengthened again, his dantian which was originally only one finger wide matured into two adult fingers, the, the qi energy that filled the dantian was also getting more concentrated and thick than before which was a sign of increased purity of energy that carried an incredible destructive power..
The Fifth Stage was the stage where one was already able to channel his qinya energy outward, no longer limited to body parts or weapons alone, that was why this realm was given the title of master.
“The increase is huge.” Xu Feng exhaled while staring at both of his hands, he felt extremely energetic.
Shaking his head, Xu Feng refocused on the panel, there were still 65 units of energy left.
Xu Feng stared at the Mortal Heavenly Sword Technique, this was the strongest technique he had yet still at the elementary realm, lagging behind his two movement techniques. Thinking back on it, Xu Feng never got a chance to advance this technique.
“It's time.”
Xu Feng muttered as he chose an improvement on his sword technique.
---------
It takes 20 units of energy to advance to the middle realms
Yes / No
---------
Xu Feng chose yes and soon his brain was flooded with thousands of information about practicing memories. Soon Xu Feng's understanding of the Heavenly Sword Technique was increasing.
After successfully breaking through, Xu Feng did not flinch and continued to advance the Heavenly Sword Technique.
--------
It takes 40 units of energy to advance to advanced realms
Yes / No
---------
“This feeling.” Xu Feng noticed the change when he managed to break through to the advanced realm, his eyes seemed to sparkle a little.
“Straight One Step!”
Xu Feng called for that stance inwardly, he finally understood where the moves he had suddenly come from during the fight with Lu Wei.
Xu Feng was honestly a bit confused because during his fight, he had subconsciously let out a stance that he did not even recognize yet. He simply fell into a strange state of focus and his mind was suddenly fed by a certain amount of information on how to execute the technique.
“Increase power twofold?”
Xu Feng's eyes widened in shock when he realized the prowess of the One Step Steps Force, he had never heard of a move capable of increasing attack power so far.
His techniques and movements were very simple, he only needed to move his legs one step forward before slashing, everything was so simple that it was impossible to think of how this move could bring such immense strength.
“Tsk, this technique is very unreasonable.”
Xu Feng muttered in disbelief but his face was full of excitement, he finally had a true trump card in his hand.
