Legendary Fighter
14. Chapters 14...
Zhou Fan began to choose the technique he would learn from the emperor's book.
"It looks like I will choose a sword technique and strong bare hands" Zhou Fan said as he continued to look at the emperor's book.
"The seven-movement sword technique, this technique is very flexible but the disadvantage of this technique is that it has a slow attack speed and it will be easily avoided by the opponent." Zhou Fan commented on one of the techniques in the emperor's book.
"Wind sword technique...painty sword technique..holy site technique...shadow fist technique." Zhou Fan said the name of the technique he encountered in the emperor, he had already searched for a technique that he felt was strong and suitable for, but he never found it.
a few moments later, a smile appeared on Zhou Fan's handsome face, after several hours he searched for techniques in the emperor's book he finally found it.
"The sword god technique, a very tyrannical name, has a strong, fast attack and has a wide attack range, what a technique that fits me perfectly." Zhou Fan said with a pleased tone.
Furthermore Zhou Fan chose the hermit tread technique for his bare-handed fighting technique.
Zhou Fan thought, he would need a bare-handed skill, when there was an unexpected event that required him to fight without using a weapon.
The hermit's tread technique focused the energy deeply into each movement of the hand, which made each of his attacks would inflict fatal damage.
Zhou Fan decided to learn both techniques.

Without feeling the time has passed, now it has been 3 months Zhou Fan was in the dead forest, and means Zhou Fan has been 2 months more he was in this cave.
For two more months inside the cave Zhou Fan had always trained in sword god techniques and hermit tread techniques, now he could already master about 80 percent of those techniques.
Zhou Fan practiced the sword god technique not by using a sword because he did not have a sword, he only used a tree branch that had a length of 1 meter.
Although he had not mastered perfectly the sword god technique and the hermit tread technique, but with his mastery of 80 percent he could already bring out great strength.
In addition to training both of his techniques Zhou Fan also always practiced physical, soaking in spiritual water ponds and he also hunted to find beasts for his opponents.
Besides being able to improve the fighting mentality of the beast hunt also Zhou Fan did to meet the meat supplies inside his storage ring, although Zhou Fan could also choose not to eat because he would not starve as long as he still had some inner strength, but he felt that there was still something lacking as long as he had not eaten something to eat.
Zhou Fan also occasionally made some pills other than a tier 1 cultivation pill, such as a tier 1 recovery pill that served to restore some of the inner exertion lost even though it was only 50 percent.
Zhou Fan could now already be called a one-star alchemist because he could concoct first-rate pills.
Zhou Fan's cultivation was currently already at the level of a 9-star entry-level fighter, but with the physical strength and techniques of the emperor's book he was able to keep up with a tier 5 proficient fighter.

At the same time, in a Zhou Clan elder's residence there was a middle-aged woman sitting in the courtyard of his residence.
From the glare of his eyes, the middle-aged woman seemed to be missing someone.
"My wife why are you sitting here?"
Feeling that someone was calling out to him, the middle-aged woman turned to the source of the voice, and she found a man who had been accompanying her all this time. Who else if not her husband.
"Maybe I just want to, therefore I'm sitting here." The middle-aged woman said in a lethargic tone to her husband who was already sitting next to her.
Hearing his wife's sluggish words, the middle-aged man asked his wife.
"Did you miss Fan'er?" the man asked his wife, they were none other than Zhou Fan's parents, Zhou Hu and Zhou Qian.
"Of course I miss him, he's my son, and we haven't seen each other for three months, which mother doesn't miss him." Zhuo Qian said, she was really upset with her husband, already knew she was missing her son, instead she asked him something he already knew the answer to.
"Honestly I miss him too, I can only hope he's okay there." Zhuo Hu said regardless of his wife's annoyance, he understood that now his wife was missing her child, and he could also feel the same way his wife felt.

In the depths of the dead forest, precisely in a cave, a young man gallantly practiced the sword style he had just learned from the emperor.
It was Zhou Fan. He was studying a skill called 'double-slash', this was a sword skill that could take out two consecutive slashes and it had a very high destructive power, by mastering this skill completely, this style can defeat someone with a cultivation level that is above.
Zhou Fan was now able to master the 'double-freedom' style by about 50 percent, so he had not been able to bring out his true strength from this stance.
"It seems like I should practice the double slash in a real fight, maybe after making some tier 1 recovery pills I will come out of this cave to look for 'rabbits' so that I can improve my understanding of this style," Zhou Fan said.
Zhou Fan then took the herbs from the medicinal garden that was inside the cave, he needed some kind of herbs to make a tier 1 recovery pill.
After the herbs he needed had been obtained, Zhou Fan concocted the ingredients into a pill.
The way Zhou Fan concocted was unlike the alchemists in general found in the black stone city, Zhou Fan did not need to use a furnace or cauldron to concoct pills, either, using his inner power as a container to concoct pills from refining herbs to pill formation, Zhou Fan learned that from the Book of Emperor.
After a while Zhou Fan had managed to concoct some tier 1 recovery pills.
"Finally done, after this I will hunt beasts," Zhou Fan said with a satisfied smiling face.
***
Now that Zhou Fan had been in the outer layer of the dead forest, he had not dared to enter the deepest layer of the dead forest.
Zhou Fan's cultivation level was now at the level of a 9-star beginner fighter, but by expending all of his abilities he was able to keep up with a 6-star advanced level fighter, because in addition to Zhou Fan having physical strength Zhou Fan also learned high-level techniques and techniques from the emperor's book.
Zhou Fan continued walking, but his gaze continued to pay attention around.
His steps stopped as his gaze saw....
