The first layer is not a secret technique for physical training, but one on how to quickly recover from injuries.
"Sense the flow of blood within your body and control a warm current inside to circulate."
When he practiced according to the first layer of the [Sword God Body Tempering Art], he felt comfortable; it didn't seem difficult, and he easily sensed the flow of blood in his body.
"Could it be that because this body of mine flows with the Vampire Clan bloodline, I was able to sense the blood flow so quickly?"
His deceased parents had previously told him that their entire family possessed the Vampire Clan bloodline.
However, because the Vampire Clan are the favorite slaves of the World Nobles, their family lived in anonymity on this small island.
Since childhood, his body had been different from others. He remembered once accidentally cutting his palm with a kitchen knife.
The bleeding stopped in less than half a minute, and the wound recovered completely a few hours later. His body displayed astonishing recovery abilities.
"The Vampire Clan is truly a great bloodline."
Nox smiled slightly and began practicing according to the content of the first layer of the [Sword God Body Tempering Art].
"I didn't expect that cultivating the [Sword God Body Tempering Art] would allow my comprehension of the Sword Dao to advance another level!"
During the practice, he clearly perceived that his body was becoming lighter, and the soreness left over from killing the three people earlier also disappeared.
At the same time, he discovered that the sword arts he had learned in his previous life and the sword arts he had learned in this life were all slowly appearing in his mind.
As they were recalled like a movie in his mind, some flaws he had never noticed before also surfaced in his thoughts.
However, when he stopped cultivating the [Sword God Body Tempering Art], that strange feeling disappeared, just as if his intelligence and comprehension of the Sword Dao had weakened.
"Is this the reason why the [Sword God Body Tempering Art] is called the Sword God Body Tempering Art and not simply a Body Tempering Art?"
"It can make my Sword Dao talent and comprehension stronger while cultivating the [Sword God Body Tempering Art]!"
Nox was very satisfied with the characteristics of his cheat ability. With this, he was confident that he could reach the peak, whether in physique or the Sword Dao!
"I have learned the first layer of the [Sword God Body Tempering Art]. The second layer is about how to quickly digest food."
"The third layer is about how to control the entire body, which is equivalent to an alternative Life Return. These three layers should not be difficult for me."
Nox began exercising while practicing the [Sword God Body Tempering Art].
That is, doing push-ups, sit-ups, frog jumps, and the like. His body was still weak, and he could not do any high-difficulty exercises.
"Hmm?"
Louis, the master of the Limitless Sword School, came over to check on Nox after seeing him safely arrive at the school, but he didn't expect to see Nox practicing physical exercises instead of practicing the sword.
"Master, I understand now. The Sword Dao is very strong, and I won't give it up, but the body is also very important. Without a powerful body, I cannot support myself to reach the peak of the Sword Dao!"
Nox immediately recognized the confusion in his master's eyes, so he took the initiative to explain.
"Hmm, as long as you know what you are doing, that's fine. Since this is the path you have chosen, don't regret it, and persevere."
Louis was a little surprised that Nox could say such a thing, but seeing the determination in Nox's eyes, he stopped talking.
The master leads the way, but cultivation depends on the individual. As a master, what he needed to do was pass on all his Sword Dao knowledge to Nox.
As for how far Nox could go later, that depended only on him.
"Yes, Master, I will fulfill my previous promise in the future, reach the peak of the Sword Dao, and become the World's Greatest Swordsman!"
Nox said firmly.
This was his ideal and his belief. He already possessed the foundation to become a powerhouse, and he was confident that as long as he persevered, he would definitely succeed.
Seeing this, Louis said nothing and turned to leave.
Nox continued his training plan. After exercising in the morning, even if he was exhausted afterward, once he ate...and cultivated the first layer of the [Sword God Body Tempering Art], all the fatigue in his body disappeared, and he became energetic.
In the afternoon, he started practicing the sword. His own Sword Dao talent was very strong; otherwise, the master of the Limitless Sword Style School would not have accepted him as his only direct disciple.
He did not practice the Limitless Sword Style inherited by the Limitless Sword School, but chose to practice basic sword moves, which are the foundation of all Sword Dao.
Basic sword moves include stabbing, chopping, pointing, lifting, raising, crashing, intercepting, slashing, wiping, shaving, clouding, hanging, parrying, and pressing.
Although these basic sword moves are fundamental, they are the most important. All Sword Dao cannot be separated from basic sword moves. The more solid the foundation, the easier it is to advance in the Sword Dao; this is beyond doubt.
With goals and beliefs, there was motivation to become stronger.
From then on, Nox spent all day in the school, frantically training his body and practicing the sword.
With the [Sword God Body Tempering Art], he was not afraid of training his body until it broke. As long as he didn't train himself to death, he would train himself to the brink of death!
He persisted in this training for a full half year. It wasn't that he didn't want to continue, but because his training within the school had already reached a bottleneck.
Over the past six months, he had progressed rapidly. Both his body and his Sword Dao had advanced by leaps and bounds.
The result was that staying in the school could no longer allow him to continue progressing. He needed a greater training difficulty, which meant he needed to leave the school.
"Although my strength is not very strong right now, as long as the master of the Blade Edge Sword School doesn't personally step in, I won't be afraid of those people from the Blade Edge Sword School anymore!"
"I've decided. I'll leave the school and have some junior brothers help me with my training."
After half a year of training hidden in the school, although Nox's height hadn't increased much, his bones and muscles had become plump, unlike his previous scrawny appearance.
He acted immediately. Nox came to a spot not far from the school, brought ten junior brothers here, and then took off his top.
"Senior Brother, are we really going to hit you?"
Kano and the ten school disciples around him were all holding whips, surrounding Nox in the center.
Looking at Nox's naked figure, they found it somewhat difficult to strike him.
Some junior brothers even revealed strange looks, which was very odd!
"Of course we have to hit! I'm telling you, if anyone uses too little force later, I'll make him go back to the school and practice swinging his sword ten thousand times. No eating until it's done."
Nox looked at the surrounding junior brothers with a serious expression and said.
"Senior Brother, then we apologize!"
"Smack!!!!"
Hearing that the punishment was so severe, Kano immediately picked up the whip and lashed it towards Nox's buttocks.
"Hiss!!!!"
Although he knew it would hurt, after truly feeling the power of the whip, Nox couldn't help but gasp.
However, after Nox circulated the first layer of the [Sword God Body Tempering Art], the pain rapidly diminished and finally disappeared.
"The [Sword God Body Tempering Art] is indeed powerful!"
Nox couldn't help but sigh with emotion in his heart.
"What are you guys still standing around for? Start!"
Subsequently, Nox told the rest of the junior brothers to start moving.
"Senior Brother, then we'll really hit you."
