"Duan Gujin, do you prefer martial skills for long-range attacks, or close-range attacks?"

Elder Wan asked.

"I prefer long-range attack martial skills."

Duan Gujin answered.

Elder Wan's eyes flashed as he spoke, "In that case, display your skills for me to see!"

"I have a preference for using flying knives."

Duan Gujin said.

Elder Wan commented, "Even if you prefer using flying knives, if you encounter an opponent too powerful, your flying knives will not be effective! Then, you'll need strong defense to withstand the enemy's attacks, or you'll need to quickly escape."

Duan Gujin knew that after performing the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps, he could rapidly flee the battlefield.

For him, he may need a very powerful defense skill.

"Elder Wan, which protective technique do you think would be suitable for my cultivation?"

Duan Gujin touched his nose and asked.

"Let me see your flying knives first! I want to see to what extent your flying knife skills have reached,"

Elder Wan requested.

"Alright! This space here is small; we should find a bigger area to practice in!"

Duan Gujin proposed.

So, Elder Wan took Duan Gujin to a training ground inside the Scripture Pavilion.

This was a large training ground, and on the Dark Weapon rack in the corner of the field, various Dark Weapons were placed.

Because this was a training ground, the vast majority of the Dark Weapons here were made of solid wood.

Duan Gujin took three flying knives from one of the Dark Weapon racks, then he positioned himself about ten meters away from Elder Wan.

He called out loudly, "Elder Wan, get ready, I'm going to throw! Catch this flying knife!"

"Okay!"

Elder Wan nodded lightly in response.

In his heart, Elder Wan believed that the power of the flying knives unleashed by Duan Gujin wouldn't be strong.

So, he did not use all his Primordial Power for protection.

Duan Gujin channeled his Primordial Power into the wooden flying knife, then flung a flying knife towards Elder Wan in front of him.

Whoosh!

A sharp sound of tearing through the air echoed, and a streak of white light instantly flashed in front of Elder Wan.

Elder Wan's eyebrows instantly furrowed; he hadn't anticipated that Duan Gujin would be able to make a wooden flying knife move so fast at a distance of ten meters.

Yet, even though Duan Gujin's wooden flying knife was extremely fast, Elder Wan was stronger by a whole Great Realm in his cultivation; he still clearly captured the direction of the wooden flying knife shooting towards him.

Pouring his Primordial Power into his hands, he aimed to catch the rapidly approaching flying knife.

He truly believed that his right hand could definitely catch the knife, but just as his hand was about to grasp it, the flying knife suddenly took a turn before reaching his hand and then rushed towards his body.

His complexion greatly changed, and he quickly activated his cultivation technique to protect himself.

From the powerful force contained within that flying knife, he judged that if his body were to be pierced by it, he would likely sustain some injuries.

When he activated his cultivation technique to protect himself, he then reached out to grab the flying knife.

Before, Duan Gujin had told him to catch the flying knife, all he needed to do was to catch that flying knife.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

However, contrary to Elder Wan's expectations, he did not foresee that the flying knife would begin circling around his body at a very high speed, making it impossible for him to capture the trace of the flying knife.

"How fast it is!"

Elder Wan only felt a blur before his eyes; he did not expect that with his strength he would be unable to catch the flying knife, completely overturning his previous understanding.

He quickly mobilized his Primordial Power, elevating his Cultivation to half its potential, and after a while, he was able to capture the flying knife.

"Duan Gujin, not bad! Your Flying Knife is quite impressive!"

Elder Wan praised.

"Thank you for the compliment, Elder!"

Duan Gujin hastily responded.

Elder Wan was merely testing the strength of Duan Gujin's Flying Knife just now; he knew in his heart that the greatest use of the flying knife was for sneak attacks, not face-to-face combat with an enemy.

From the perspective of sneak attacks, he knew that the flying knife Duan Gujin had just released was already capable of killing an ordinary Martial Sect Realm warrior.

If Duan Gujin used an Advanced Dark Weapon as a weapon during a fight with an enemy, the effect would be even more pronounced.

In his heart, he understood that his earlier test was unlikely to probe the true power of Duan Gujin's Flying Knife.

To know the true power of that flying knife, one can only understand how potent it truly is when clashing with an enemy.

From the previous encounter, Elder Wan judged that Duan Gujin should be able to use that flying knife to combat enemies within five minor realms above his own cultivation level.

If Duan Gujin is lucky enough, he might even use the flying knife to kill or severely injure a Martial Emperor Realm warrior.

"Your true Combat Power only comes into play when you fight with enemies! If the enemy is too strong, and you cannot defeat the opponent, you will have no choice but to flee, or if the enemy is too mighty and you fail to sneak attack successfully, instead being pursued, then you will need a set of good Defense Skills or escape movement techniques."

Elder Wan said.

"Then, please introduce me to a good Protective Technique, Elder!"

Duan Gujin said.

Having gained a preliminary understanding of Duan Gujin's strength, Elder Wan knew that Duan Gujin would likely not study any other Martial Skills.

In terms of Cultivation Methods, Elder Wan would impart him with the Cultivation Techniques suitable for Martial Sect Realm warriors from the Blood Killing Sect.

In the Blood Killing Sect, there is an explicit rule that if a disciple wants to cultivate a Cultivation Technique of the Martial Sect Realm, the martial artist must obtain personal permission from an elder.

Only with an elder's permission can one cultivate the Blood Killing Sect's Cultivation Techniques suitable for Martial Sect Realm warriors.

Within the Blood Killing Sect, only when a warrior breaks through to the Martial Sect Realm can they become a true Inner Sect Disciple of the Blood Killing Sect, with the possibility of accessing more advanced martial skills.

Moments later, Elder Wan handed a Jade Scroll to Duan Gujin.

"This is the Cultivation Method I am imparting to you, just let your Divine Sense enter it, and afterward, you will remember the contents! If you want to quickly enhance your cultivation in the future, you must consume Spirit Sect Treasure Pills! As an Inner Sect Disciple of the Blood Killing Sect, you can obtain thirty Spirit Sect Treasure Pills every month! If you want to get more Spirit Sect Treasure Pills, then you must complete some higher-level tasks of the Master! I specifically requested three hundred Spirit Sect Treasure Pills for you, and the superiors have agreed; they now regard you as a key disciple, as long as you cultivate diligently going forward, the rewards given by the superiors will be even more!"

Elder Wan spoke.

"Thank you, Elder!"

After hearing this, Duan Gujin quickly expressed his gratitude.

Duan Gujin talked with Elder Wan for a while and learned a set of Protective Techniques from him.

Upon returning to his quarters, Duan Gujin carefully practiced the Cultivation Method and Protective Technique of the Blood Killing Sect.

In the end, he came to a conclusion: the Cultivation Method of the Blood Killing Sect was very suitable for his current realm of cultivation, but the Protective Technique was somewhat lacking.

He had predicted that the Protective Technique imparted by Elder Wan would be of limited use, and now upon trying it, it was indeed the case.
