Chapter 56: Sword Practice Enlightenment
"Li Dong, now you try it!"

After performing the seventh level of "Nine-Layer Thunder Blade" several times in a row, Zhang Li felt satisfied with himself. Now he could finally perform the seventh level skillfully, and his strength was much stronger than before.

"Okay, teacher!"

Li Dong smiled and nodded, then he pulled out a training sword from the weapon rack, and began to practice the first level of "Nine-Layer Thunder Sword".

This move immediately made Zhang Li nodded in satisfaction. He had to say that Li Dong was the most perfect genius he had ever seen. Not to mention his extraordinary talent, his foundation was also extremely solid.

From Li Dong's swordsmanship, he knew that it must be the result of countless trials and tribulations, otherwise it would not be so fluent. Every move of the sword was as perfect as in a textbook.

One sword after another, starting with the auxiliary sword technique of the "Nine-Layer Thunder Sword" training, Li Dong completed the practice of the Nine-Layer Thunder Sword meticulously. For him, this was already the basic skill, and naturally he did not think it was anything special.

But in Zhang Li's eyes, this is obviously not the case.

Too many geniuses, while making rapid progress, neglect basic practice, which causes their progress to drop dramatically after reaching a certain level, and it is difficult to make up for the lack of foundation.

However, in Zhang Li's eyes, Li Dong's foundation was extremely solid, without the slightest flaw, and the solidity of his foundation even exceeded his expectations.

In fact, after Li Dong awakened the talent of "becoming stronger in battle" at the age of eight, it took him a long period of accumulation until he was seventeen years old before he barely reached the standard of a "quasi-warrior".

In fact, Li Dong’s talent at the beginning was not that amazing.

After all, in the extreme training camp, there are geniuses who reach the level of "quasi-warrior" at the age of twelve or thirteen, and then reach the level of junior generals in just a few years or even months.

Compared with them, Li Dong's initial talent was indeed nothing.

However, during this period of accumulation, although the basic strength was indeed nothing, it also allowed Li Dong to develop a quality of pursuing extremes, and laid a solid foundation for the practice of basic martial arts.

This is why in just over two months, Li Dong has achieved rapid progress, while his foundation has become even more solid.

It can be said that the rapid increase in strength in just a few months is inseparable from the accumulation of the past nine years. It also gave Li Dong the most valuable quality, that is, persistence and the belief of never giving up.

Of course, there is also the determination to accumulate from small steps!

'A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step', this is a famous saying of ancient sages, and it is obvious that Li Dong has fully achieved it.

This was already shown from the moment he wanted to take advantage of the elite training camp and did not aim too high.

The first level of swordsmanship was practiced quickly, and then the second and third levels. Li Dong practiced each level very slowly, but every time he swung the sword, he gained new insights into the "Nine-Layer Thunder Sword", and all these insights became his own, allowing Li Dong to accumulate a deeper level of swordsmanship without realizing it.

"The fifth level is so easy!"

Zhang Li thought silently in his heart.

Li Dong then performed the sixth level with ease. It was not until the seventh level that Li Dong was at a loss for a long time and frowned slightly.

"As expected, the difficulty of the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade is indeed astonishing. Even though I have already gained some understanding, I am still a little short of the eighth level of strength. However, I am not completely clueless!"

Thinking of this, Li Dong's speed of swinging the sword became slower and slower, but every time he swung the sword, it gave people a different feeling.

Even ordinary people who are not familiar with martial arts can clearly feel that Li Dong's every sword move has amazing progress.

Zhang Li was speechless, he knew that he had lost his greatest asset. With Li Dong's speed of improvement, he would probably master the seventh level of "Nine-Layer Thunder Blade" soon, which would not surprise him at all.

Such a genius is simply incomparable to him.

"I've known this for a long time, but I still can't see through it. It turns out that everyone is jealous. When faced with an outstanding genius, they are always unwilling to admit it!"

Zhang Li laughed at himself, then continued reading silently.

"That's it!"

He swung the sword over and over again, gained insights again and again, and at the same time, he kept recalling the practice of tension in his mind. Finally, after repeated accumulation, Li Dong fully understood the method of exerting the eighth level of strength, and suddenly an extra level of strength appeared in his body.

The seventh level of "Nine-Layer Thunder Blade" has been mastered!

In this way, the power increase of Li Dong's "Nine-Layer Thunder Blade" has reached 5.6 times. This power increase is even far beyond most planetary-level councilors.

After all, the power increase of planetary masters is generally only three to four, but Li Dong's level is completely beyond the average.

Moreover, the "Nine-Layer Thunder Blade" is naturally not Li Dong's most powerful means. His strongest weapon is still the "Phantom Sword Technique" that he has been constantly improving. The power increase of the Phantom Sword Technique, a single phantom, cannot be compared with the "Nine-Layer Thunder Blade", but once the Phantom Sword Technique is integrated, the power increase will far exceed that of the "Nine-Layer Thunder Blade".

This is the power of self-created secret books. Although in the universe, secret books of this level are merely basic warrior secrets, in a cultivation civilization that is just starting out like Earth, it is already an extremely remarkable achievement.

Swish!
As the sword flashed, Li Dong simply continued to swing out phantoms, and the power increase of each of these phantoms increased rapidly, eventually forming seven terrifying sword lights. The power increase of these seven sword lights alone even reached four times the level.

Obviously, after arriving at the elite training camp, challenging the Trial Tower and sparring with Zhang Li, as well as practicing swordsmanship just now, Li Dong's accumulated swordsmanship was fully integrated, and finally his self-created "Phantom Swordsmanship" reached a new level.

Moreover, this progress still shows no signs of stopping. The power increase of each sword light of the Phantom Sword Technique has quickly exceeded the four-fold mark and is constantly moving towards five times.

If the seven layers of sword light were superimposed, the increase would reach an astonishing level.

Zhang Ting's eyes were wide open and his mouth was open.

He could naturally see the power of the Phantom Sword Technique. Each of the layers of sword light was extremely astonishing. When the seven layers of sword light were superimposed, the power was naturally astonishing to the extreme.

"This... is this the sword technique he created himself?"

Zhang Li was extremely shocked. He found that he had underestimated his cheap student. In such a short period of time, Li Dong had given him too many surprises. Even with his strength as an invincible god of war, he could not bear such surprises.

If it were someone with a fragile heart, they would probably go crazy.

"This guy Zhao Ming must have done this on purpose!"

This thought flashed through Zhang Li's mind, and after a quick thought, he understood Zhao Ming's intention.

However, thinking that Li Dong was already his disciple and was quite respectful to him, Zhang Li started to smile. It was a happy thing to have such a disciple.

In any case, even if Li Dong becomes extremely successful in the future and reaches incredible heights, his presence will certainly leave a deep mark in the history books of mankind on Earth.

Once a teacher, you are always a teacher, this is a fact that can never be changed!
Since Li Dong has surpassed me, what is there to worry about? From another perspective, meeting such a genius is such a happy thing.

As for being surpassed by his disciples, it is nothing more than the disciple surpassing the master.

Thinking of this, Zhang Li felt that his thoughts became clearer!

"Phew, it's reached the limit!"

The seven sword lights became sharper and sharper, and the power increase even reached 4.5 times. However, Li Dong also felt that this had reached the limit. If he wanted to strengthen it further, he needed more accumulation.

Although the eighth sword light that appeared faintly could be displayed, it was simply unable to perfectly echo the other seven sword lights that were exerting their maximum power. Therefore, it would take some time to truly and perfectly comprehend the eighth sword light.

But even so, it is enough to make Li Dong excited. After all, these are all the growth of soft power, which is also the purpose of his joining the elite training camp.

He believed that as he fought against more elite training camp students and teachers, his swordsmanship would become more and more perfect, and his martial arts practice level would certainly become higher and higher.

When the time comes, if you can naturally break through and become a planetary-level master, you will surely be able to grow quickly to an astonishing height.

"Li Dong, your strength has reached a certain level. I have almost nothing to teach you!"

Zhang Li said calmly.

"That's right, teacher. I hope you can give me more guidance in the future. Of course, if possible, please introduce me to some masters so that I can learn from them. In this way, I believe I can grow faster!"

Li Dong spoke modestly at first, then his eyes brightened and he spoke excitedly.

With Zhang Li's personal connections, everyone he knows must be a war god-level master, and at least a high-level war god. In this way, he can compete with a steady stream of new opponents. He will accumulate some experience with each competition, and his swordsmanship will surely improve rapidly.

The self-created "Phantom Sword Technique" will naturally become more and more powerful!

"Oh!"

Zhang Li didn't expect Li Dong to be so belligerent. He immediately found it interesting and agreed, saying, "Then you take a rest first. I promise I won't let you down. I'm just afraid that you don't have the courage to continue fighting!"

"Teacher, rest assured. The more opponents the better. I will definitely not complain or feel tired!"

Li Dong said excitedly.

"okay!"

Zhang Li nodded heavily, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he thought silently in his heart: "Old Zhao, Old Zhao, since you want to laugh at me, then you can't blame me for using a higher authority!"
