The Seven Kill Saber Technique is a saber art that utilizes killing to halt killing. The essence of this technique is the chop and it nurtures warfare with killing. The stronger the killing intent, the more powerful it becomes, with the ability to surpass ranks when in battle.

To cultivate it to perfection, one needs a monstrous understanding and a stroke of luck.

“Seven Kill Saber Technique!”

Lu Yun muttered softly, unable to hide the shock in his eyes.

If it weren’t for the seal’s restrictive power, he would have impatiently added it to his panel.

Others might not be able to cultivate it to perfection due to not having the aptitude or opportunity.

But Lu Yun was different. If he had enough energy points, he could even elevate it to another level.

The idea of comprehending the killing concept made Lu Yun’s eyes virulently excited.

As long as he comprehends the killing concept…

No, just by successfully cultivating the Seven Kill Saber Technique, it would be easy to kill the ten second-rank late-stage demon beasts on the sixth floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower.

After deciding on the Seven Kill Saber Technique, Lu Yun lost interest in other martial arts and resolutely turned to leave the Cultivation Technique Pavilion.

“Seven Kill Saber Technique?” The Elder in white robes responsible for overseeing the Cultivation Technique Pavilion furrowed his eyebrows at what Lu Yun had selected, although he didn’t say more.

His duty was only protecting the Cultivation Technique Pavilion, the selection and decisions of the Martial Academy students were none of his concern.

“Your identification token!”

Lu Yun handed over his identification token as well.

He then saw the elder glance at the token, give a slight nod, and then walk into a separated compartment behind him, taking the martial arts and identification token with him.

A few breaths later, he walked back out, handing Lu Yun back his martial arts and identification token, and said in a flat voice: “Within half a month, regardless of whether or not you successfully cultivate it, you must return it to the Cultivation Technique Pavilion.”

“Understood!”

Lu Yun responded, and then left directly after accepting both the martial arts and his identification token.

After leaving the pavilion, Lu Yun checked the martial arts and identification token one after another to see if they had any changes.

Firstly, the original 380 contribution points on the identification token had been reduced to only 30 points.

Secondly, he didn’t know what means the Elder in white robes had used to remove the seal on the Seven Kill Saber Technique manual, but he was now able to flip more pages of it.

“This technique is quite handy!” Lu Yun mumbled as he scanned through the Seven Kill Saber Technique.

As he was leaving the Cultivation Technique Pavilion, a chubby silhouette abruptly appeared. He clapped his hand on Lu Yun’s shoulder and complained: “Junior Brother Lu, you have finally come out.”

Lu Yun closed the Seven Kill Saber Technique manual in his hand and glared at it, complaining: “Can you not appear out of nowhere like that? You almost gave me a heart attack.”

Duan Qing laughed lightly, his gaze sneakily peeking at the secret manual in Lu Yun’s hands.

“I see that Junior Brother Lu is beaming. Did you manage to find the martial art you fancied?”

“I had some good luck today. 1 spent 350 contribution points, but I’m quite satisfied with this martial art.”

As he spoke, Lu Yun played with the martial arts manual, revealing the words Seven Kill Saber Technique to Duan Qing.

Duan Qing slapped Lu Yun on his back and began speaking earnestly: “Junior Brother Lu, 1 can’t tell if you were lucky or unlucky, but you actually chose this saber technique!”

“What’s wrong with the Seven Kill Saber Technique? I think it’s quite good.” Lu Yun replied nonchalantly.

“The Seven Kill Saber Technique is indeed good, it can even be said to be the best martial art in the first layer of the Cultivation Technique Pavilion.”

Having spoken this far, Duan Qing paused before continuing, “But, it’s also the most dangerous martial art. Many talented students from the Martial Academy, impressed by the power of the Seven Kill Saber Technique, have chosen this martial art in their early days.

At first, a good number of them managed to enter the entry level, and their respective strengths improved significantly due to it, even enabling them to fight beyond their level, and they achieved quite a reputation.

But because this saber technique depends on stopping killing with killing, and in turn nurturing warfare with killing, the later it gets, the harder it gets to cultivate. Most people have to abandon it midway and begin cultivating other martial arts.

A small portion of people with remarkable talents, among which were some Heavenly Pride students with Level 6 innate talent, could continue improving their Seven Kill Saber Technique and even cultivated it to perfection, on the verge of comprehending the legendary concept – the Killing Conception.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Yun showed an expression of anticipation and eagerly asked, “Has anyone successfully comprehended the Killing Conception?”

Duan Qing shook his head with a bitter smile.

“The Seven Kill Saber Technique, which uses killing to stop killing and nourishes combat with killing, relies on killing intent as its fundamental source. The more beings it kills, the stronger the killing intent, the more terrifying its combat power becomes. When the killing intent accumulates to its peak and transforms into a killing conception, then the conceptual understanding naturally appears.

Unfortunately, it’s the killing intent that brings about their success and also their downfall. Those who have cultivated the Seven Kill Saber Technique to the Great Accomplishment realm have all ultimately been backfired by the killing intent. If the consequences are light, they fall into a state of mania and their meridians become useless. If consequences are severe, they perish!

Seven in ‘Seven Kill’ actually imply the killing of beings and killing oneself!”

Sighing, Duan Qing somberly advised, “Junior Brother Lu, please be prudent, very prudent, and even more prudent regarding this martial art!”

Lu Yun didn’t focus on the dangers of cultivating Seven Kill Saber Technique, but asked with curiosity, “If this martial art is so dangerous and no one has ever successfully comprehended its concept, why would the Martial Academy place it in the Cultivation Technique Pavilion?”

Duan Qing explained, “If something exists, there’s a rationale behind it. The Martial Academy placed it in the Cultivation Technique Pavilion for its own considerations, which include testing the disciples’ mindset. The specifics are not something we can surmise.”

Hearing this, Lu Yun nodded.

Although Duan Qing’s guess was slightly partial, there was indeed some truth to it.

The Martial Academy trains their disciples not just to achieve a high realm, they also require powerful strength, firm determination, and the ability to take responsibility for their own choices, even if it’s a matter of life and death!

If one just seeks powerful strength and disregards the danger of the Seven Kill Saber Technique, such a disciple will perish due to other reasons in the future, no matter how high their talent is.

“Junior Brother Lu, I know you’re a headstrong person and have complete faith in your talent, but 1 must say one last thing, temporary strength is transient, and this transient strength is even fraught with immense danger!”

Having said his piece, this was Duan Qing’s final advice to Lu Yun.

“Thank you, Senior Brother, 1 will bear that in mind.”

Lu Yun cordially replied and then subtly shifted the topic.

“I saw Senior Brother have quite a few Body Tempering Pills last time, do you have any left now?”

Duan Qing was palatable taken back, and then shook his head: “Body Tempering Pills are only useful for martial artists in the Enter Martial Realm. Junior Brother is already in the middle phase of the Meridian Passage Realm, only Meridian pills would be of use now. If Junior Brother needs some, I still happen to have some left.”

Previously, Duan Qing had accumulated many Meridian Pills in order to break through the True Qi Realm. After breaking through, he still had some leftovers and was thinking about just the right opportunity to deal with them.

This time, he was waiting for Lu Yun not only to foster their relationship, but also with the intention of dealing with the leftover Meridian Pills.

“Meridian Pills are fine too, it’s just that 1 now only have thirty contribution…”

“No problem, no problem, I can give you the Meridian Pills first, and you can pay me back when you have more contribution points.”

“Is that okay?”

“It’s definitely not okay for others, but for the relationship between you and me, of course it is.”

With that, Duan Qing took out two porcelain bottles from his bosom, eyes narrowed in a smile, and said, “These two bottles of Meridian Pills, 1 will give Junior Brother Lu a friendly price, 200 contribution points!”

“Thank you, Senior Brother!”
