Chapter 78

Zhao Feng took a quick look and saw that there were only about twenty to thirty Saint-level martial arts in the Saint Hall, with the majority being offensive types.

Among them, the Saint-level martial arts for body refinement were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. Including the *Silver Wall Technique*, there were only two.

"Saint-level martial arts for offense and movement are definitely hard to comprehend," Zhao Feng thought to himself.

In the space of his left eye, there was the profound *Mysterious Wind Palm* move performed by the greenish maiden, as well as the mysterious "Four Residual Styles of Saint": *Following the Wind Style*, *Whirling Wind Style*, *Residual Wind Style*, and *Fierce Wind Style*.

Just these Saint-level moves were enough to give Zhao Feng a tough time, and he couldn't comprehend them in the short term.

Thinking about this, he decisively took down the jade token representing the *Silver Wall Technique*.

"You chose the *Silver Wall Technique*?" The taciturn young man was somewhat surprised.

In the past, when he had brought people into the Saint Hall, the first thing they would focus on was offensive martial arts, such as the incredibly powerful *Blood Transformation Divine Palm* or *Heavenly Demon Claw*.

Indeed, such offensive Saint-level martial arts, even if just at the initial stage, could allow one to look down upon the nine levels of martial arts, rarely encountering an opponent. However, the number of people who could truly learn such Saint-level martial arts was very few.

"That's right," Zhao Feng said with a determined gaze.

He had his reasons for choosing this body refinement martial art.

"Relatively speaking, Saint-level body refinement martial arts are slightly easier to master in the early stages. However, the progress in the middle and later stages is several times more difficult than other martial arts," the taciturn young man smiled slightly.

He was more in favor of and appreciated Zhao Feng's choice.

Whether it was a martial apprentice, a martial artist, or a martial master, the foundation of the body was the most important. Essence, energy, spirit, and martial arts internal energy all originated from the body.

Only with a strong body could other aspects have room for development.

After determining the martial art, the taciturn young man fetched a handwritten book and handed it to Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng opened it and saw that the content of the book was indeed the *Silver Wall Technique*, which was about sixty percent similar to the *Iron Wall Technique* he had practiced before, with some even more profound and advanced content.

"Although this is just a handwritten secret manual, you must return it after seven days of study. This martial art must not be leaked; otherwise, according to the rules of Guangling Prefecture, your cultivation will be abolished," the taciturn young man reminded him.

"Understood! But I don't need to take this handwritten secret manual back," Zhao Feng said calmly.

As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the handwritten secret manual, and his hands flipped through it quickly.

In an instant, the text and images in the handwritten secret manual were copied into Zhao Feng's brain, as if imprinted deeply in his mind, unforgettable for life.

After a few dozen breaths, Zhao Feng returned the handwritten book to the taciturn young man.

"You... what are you doing?" The taciturn young man was slightly taken aback.

"I've already memorized it," Zhao Feng smiled.

What kind of freak is this guy...

The taciturn young man's eyes showed a mix of surprise and shock.

He had seen geniuses who could remember things after a single glance, but he had never seen anyone like Zhao Feng, who could memorize the entire content of a book in an instant.

After all, the handwritten secret manual contained many complex diagrams and annotations, as well as numerous intricate and profound incantations. A single word difference could make a world of difference.

Therefore, even geniuses who could remember things after a single glance wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous.

"Did you really memorize it all? Haha, I believe 'Junior Brother Bei' will be very interested in him..." The taciturn young man watched Zhao Feng leave, murmuring to himself, and then chuckled.

He didn't doubt that Zhao Feng had memorized the content of the secret manual, because no martial artist in this world could resist the temptation of a Saint-level martial art...

Leaving the Treasure Profound Hall's Saint Hall, Zhao Feng returned to the Heavenly Guard Camp.

As he approached the wooden house, Zhao Yufei and Huang Qi looked at him with some anticipation.

"Brother Zhao Feng, what did you exchange for at the 'Treasure Profound Hall'?" Zhao Yufei blinked her eyes, very curious.

Everyone knew that Zhao Feng had earned the highest battle merit points in the bandit suppression mission, and even received additional rewards.

"Confidential," Zhao Feng smiled mysteriously and returned to the wooden house. He didn't want too many people to know that he had obtained a Saint-level martial art.

Inside the wooden house.

Zhao Feng sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, and the content of the *Silver Wall Technique* appeared in his mind, with each complex text and image clearly presented.

He studied it while comparing it with the *Iron Wall Technique*.

"The *Iron Wall Technique* is indeed just a simplified version of the *Silver Wall Technique*..." Zhao Feng's eyes sparkled with excitement.

The more so, the more advantageous it was for him.

Because starting from scratch with a completely new martial art would be difficult and waste a lot of time and energy, especially for a Saint-level martial art.

But if Zhao Feng practiced the *Silver Wall Technique*, he already had a certain foundation and experience, which would definitely make it easier.

The *Silver Wall Technique* is divided into eleven levels.

The first three levels are roughly similar to the *Iron Wall Technique*, focusing mainly on strengthening and refining the skin and flesh, but the incantations and methods are more sophisticated.

The fourth to sixth levels focus on strengthening the bones and meridians, refining from the outside to the inside, greatly enhancing the martial artist's physique, strength, and defensive capabilities, which are basically the same as the *Iron Wall Technique*.

The seventh to ninth levels focus on strengthening the internal organs, stimulating more potential in the human body, and integrating martial arts internal energy to produce a silver aura shield on the surface of the body, allowing one to charge through a thousand troops and ten thousand archers and return unscathed.

The tenth level: blood change in the internal organs, rebirth, and the formation of silver aura true energy, breaking through to the Saint realm!

...

When he read this, Zhao Feng's mind was shaken. Practicing the *Silver Wall Technique* to the tenth level would allow him to step into the Saint realm of martial arts.

The eleventh level: perfect integration, unmeltable in a furnace; a hundred times tempered, the physical body indestructible.

When he read this, Zhao Feng held his breath.

Comparing it with the seventh level of the *Iron Wall Technique*: perfect integration, unmeltable in a furnace.

"It seems the *Iron Wall Technique* given by the old man with the severed arm definitely has problems, at least missing three levels. Moreover, a high-level peak martial art cannot be practiced to a level above the Saint realm," Zhao Feng analyzed to himself.

He even suspected that the old man with the severed arm might also have the *Silver Wall Technique*, but didn't dare to take it out.

He couldn't figure out these issues and didn't bother to pursue them.

That day, Zhao Feng started practicing the *Silver Wall Technique*.

He completed the first three levels of the *Silver Wall Technique* in just three hours, feeling a uniform and powerful flow of qi and blood throughout his body, making him feel incredibly comfortable.

The first three levels of the *Silver Wall Technique* were much more advanced than the *Iron Wall Technique*.

Starting from the fourth level, the differences between the two defensive martial arts gradually increased.

The fourth to sixth levels of the *Silver Wall Technique* directly correspond to the fourth to sixth levels of martial arts, unlike the *Iron Wall Technique*, which spans a large gap, with the sixth level comparable to the seventh level of martial arts, making it very difficult to advance.

The next evening.

Zhao Feng smoothly broke through to the fifth level of the *Silver Wall Technique*, and his progress finally slowed down.

However, with the foundation of the *Iron Wall Technique*, he broke through to the sixth level of the *Silver Wall Technique* in the next two to three days.

"Having reached the sixth level of the *Silver Wall Technique*, my physical strength alone is enough to sweep through all levels below the seventh, and even challenge the seventh-level martial master," Zhao Feng's eyes sparkled, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

His current strength was at least fifty percent higher than when he had just broken through to the seventh level.

Because martial arts moves and internal energy are all based on the physical body.

After breaking through to the sixth level, the practice of the *Silver Wall Technique* became completely slow, almost stagnant.

Zhao Feng understood that the "capital" he had accumulated from practicing the *Iron Wall Technique* had been completely depleted.

From now on, the advancement and improvement of this Saint-level martial art would depend entirely on his own efforts.

Heh.

Zhao Feng exhaled lightly, walked out of the wooden house, and stretched.

In the past few days, he had been diligently practicing the Saint-level martial art and noticed that the situation in the Heavenly Guard Camp had changed.

In front of the wooden house, Zhao Yufei's tent was no longer there, leaving only Huang Qi's tent.

"Two days ago, Miss Zhao Yufei challenged several times and successfully entered the 'Ten Heavenly Guards' as the fifth. The original fifth, 'Lu Xiaoyun,' also advanced to third place. Additionally, two other young geniuses challenged and became new members of the Ten Heavenly Guards..." Huang Qi briefly explained the situation.

The bandit suppression mission of the Heavenly Guard Camp had caused significant changes in the Ten Heavenly Guards.

Some more talented and potential young people had made rapid progress and become new members of the Ten Heavenly Guards.

However, no one had challenged Zhao Feng in the past few days.

Because a few days ago, Zhao Feng had fought evenly with the seventh-level martial artist Lei Zuo, and he was already recognized as having the strength of the top three in the Ten Heavenly Guards.

"By the way, be careful. Lei Zuo has just come out of seclusion today and reportedly wants to spar with you again," Huang Qi reminded him.

Lei Zuo?

Zhao Feng smiled calmly, not taking it to heart.

His current cultivation was still hidden at the peak of the sixth level, which Huang Qi hadn't noticed.

Practicing the *Withered Wood Breathing Technique* to its perfect state, he could even fake death, let alone hide his cultivation aura.

After a while.

Zhao Feng found Zhao Yufei in the fifth wooden house.

When the two met, they couldn't help but spar.

Zhao Yufei's progress was indeed significant, practicing three top-level martial arts: offensive, movement, and body refinement.

Her understanding of martial arts and improvement in cultivation had a significant advantage over ordinary people.

Through practical combat during the bandit suppression, her potential was stimulated, and her cultivation was almost at the peak of the sixth level.

While they were sparring, two teenagers, about fifteen or sixteen years old, walked towards the entrance of the Heavenly Guard Camp.

"Newcomers to the Heavenly Guard Camp?"

Some young geniuses were somewhat curious
