You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

Chapter 101 - 41. Fire Phoenix Bloodline

"Your Highness did not need to worry."

Baili Fengzhi explained, "If it were a mortal or an ordinary Martial Artist who had just come into contact with Martial Arts, indeed, it would not be advisable to start with such high-level fighting skills. Practicing them would consume too much energy and, if practiced excessively, would lead to qi and blood deficiencies, which could be harmful to the body."

"But Your Highness was different. Having already broken through the Five Elements Heavenly Barrier, with the endless replenishment of the essence of heaven and earth, there was no concern of essence qi being insufficient."

She paused, softly saying, "Of course, Your Highness should not overtrain. While essence qi and blood could be replenished, excessive practice of the skills could still damage muscles and bones and even Lifebound Essence. Despite Your Highness having the Five Elements Essence to compensate, nine practices a day were sufficient."

Lin Yue pondered for a moment.

Nine practices a day?

He thought for a moment and said, "I’ve heard that those Jianghu Martial Artists must train diligently for over ten years or even longer before their martial skills can become first-rate, and true top-tier Jianghu experts take even longer?"

"Your Highness did not need to worry."

Baili Fengzhi shook her head and said, "With Your Highness’s perception and the physical body of the Ancient God’s Way, practicing nine times a day, in a few months at the quickest, or a year and a half at the slowest, this Battle Captain Method could certainly be cultivated to perfection, refining power like silk, and achieving perfect unity."

"That’s good." Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if it took several years, he felt it was too slow, let alone decades.

By the time he mastered it, the elderly Daoist Tu might no longer be around.

He couldn’t afford to wait.

"Your Highness, those Jianghu Martial Artists cannot absorb the essence of heaven and earth; at most they rely on some elixirs to supplement their qi and blood."

Baili Fengzhi said, "They could only start with the lowest rank Martial Arts, and they also need to divide their attention between cultivation and techniques, further delaying their time. But Your Highness could directly start with the most profound fighting skills, practicing nine times a day, naturally progressing much faster."

Lin Yue suddenly understood.

In terms of realm, he had already broken through the Five Elements Heavenly Barrier, equivalent to achieving the dream of a Martial Artist advancing to Martial Cultivator before even starting to practice Martial Arts.

To those Jianghu Martial Artists, he was like a complete overpowered character.

"Your Highness need not limit your vision to this."

Baili Fengzhi softly stated, "The Battle Captain Method, for other Martial Artists, might be a profound Martial Arts secret technique, perhaps requiring a lifetime of effort to rigorously train and learn, and ultimately becoming a top-tier Jianghu Martial Artist would be their ceiling."

"But for Your Highness, this Battle Captain Method is merely Your Highness’s first step on the martial path. Moreover, Martial Arts for Your Highness is merely a supplementary part of the Ancient God’s Way."

She looked at Lin Yue, gently saying, "For Your Highness to gain the attention of the Ancestor Hall in the Martial Arts Cultivation Sacred Land, even mastering the Battle Captain Method is far from enough."

"I understand."

Lin Yue nodded slightly, saying, "I must enter the capital within two years. Spending a year and a half to master the Battle Captain Method is still too slow and must be shortened for a faster result."

Baili Fengzhi pondered for a moment and said, "I will do my utmost to find a solution for Your Highness."

"Good."

Lin Yue smiled and said, "Let’s begin the instruction."

"Yes, Your Highness."

...

The Battle Captain Method was indeed the highest-level fighting skill in military Martial Arts.

Its complexity far exceeded the initially learned ’Soldier Beating Skill’ with the difficulty level immediately set to the maximum.

Although Lin Yue had a good memory and high perception, he still needed Baili Fengzhi to demonstrate patiently from all angles and positions, practicing seven times in total before he could barely complete it once.

Moreover, there were dozens of incorrect and non-standard mistakes.

There was no other choice since Lin Yue had skipped over the gradual progression of ’Soldier Beating Skill’ and ’Battle Captain Method,’ making it naturally quite challenging at the start.

Even with a strong memory and perception, along with careful study and Baili Fengzhi’s patient guidance, demonstrating in person with one-on-one teaching, it still took a full three to four hours for Lin Yue to truly complete his first session of the ’Battle Captain Method.’

"It was indeed different."

After practicing the method once, Lin Yue could feel the power of this skill as it almost exhaustively explored every ounce of hidden energy within his body, ideally mobilizing the power of every muscle and every bone. He had to fully concentrate to achieve this.

Practicing it this way over time, it was no wonder that force could increase tenfold, with control over power reaching a state of refining power like silk and achieving perfect unity.

It was indeed very useful, and no wonder even the physical cultivation route needed to supplement with Martial Arts.

Once mastered, even if his path on the Ancient God’s Way made no progress, the power surge could increase over tenfold, along with stepping techniques, skills, mental methods, and more, the boost in strength was imaginable.

However, practicing once did consume quite a bit.

Lin Yue had just finished practicing once and already felt a strong sense of fatigue, overconsumed stamina, and his face turned a little pale.

He immediately sat on the ground, took deep breaths, and constantly absorbed a lot of the essence of heaven and earth to quickly replenish essence qi and blood.

"Your Highness should adjust breathing and rest for a moment."

Baili Fengzhi squatted beside Lin Yue, reaching out to gently press Lin Yue’s shoulder and spine, circulating Dark Force.

After carefully sensing for a while, she released her hand and said, "Your Highness’s practice was effective, with the refining energy permeating the entire body. Continuing to practice this way, within a year and a half, it will certainly be achieved."

"A year and a half?"

Lin Yue supported himself on the ground with both hands, sitting somewhat lazily while gradually calming his breath.

Then he glanced at her, and seeing her so serious, couldn’t help teasing her, "I say, my dear general, didn’t you know how to wipe my sweat for me?"

"Your Highness, I am not a maid."

Under the mask, Baili Fengzhi’s Phoenix Eyes calmly looked at Lin Yue, "If Your Highness needs it, I could call a maid over to help."

"Good, you have spirit, I like it." Lin Yue laughed, taking out a handkerchief himself to wipe the sweat off his face.
