At the peaceful and serene Cang Lan Lake, Li Fuchen was quietly angling.

Up till now, Li Fuchen's soul spirit was already 90% green. Another 10% would allow his spirit to complete the evolution.

With the transformation of his soul spirit, Li Fuchen's consciousness became stronger as well. In the past, he could only project his consciousness on the fishing hook for less than 5 mins; now he could extend it to 7.5 mins.

Splash!

A normal treasure fish with the weight of 10+ kg rose through the surface of the lake.

During the mid afternoon, Li Fuchen began cultivating the Scarlet Fire Technique.

With the Scarlet Fire Technique at peak of the fourth rank, everytime Li Fuchen revolved the Scarlet Fire Technique, he could feel the intense fiery intent refreshing his body from within. It was hard to imagine what kind of effect there would be, once the Scarlet Fire Technique is at the ninth rank.

On the first day, Li Fuchen reeled in a 10+ kg normal treasure fish, then another normal treasure on the second day but it weighed 20+ kg.

On the third day, not only did Li Fuchen catch a first tier treasure fish that was 10+ kg, he broke through to the fifth rank of the Scarlet Fire Technique as well.

The blazing intent of the fifth rank Scarlet Fire Technique became much more obvious. Even though its firepower wasn't better then the seventh rank Red Jade Technique, but it wasn't that big of a gap.

'I knew it. The Scarlet Fire Technique is definitely one of the most domineering entry techniques."

With strike into nothingness, the intense heat arising from the punch force distorted the air; which got the approval of Li Fuchen.

With each day passing, Li Fuchen's harvest grew bigger.

Day 10, Li Fuchen explosively circulated his qi and pulled up a 5 kg second tier treasure fish!

Day 22, Li Fuchen caught yet another second tier treasure fish.

Day 30, Li fuchen caught a 100+ kg normal treasure fish! Its power was incredible and only after expending a tremendous amount of his strength, could Li Fuchen reel it in.

Day 31, A significant event happened.

After half a year, Li Fuchen's soul spirit finally evolved from the pale green grade to the green grade.

During the evolution, an indescribably magnificent sensation could be felt. Li Fuchen felt as though the soul spirit had grew a pair of lungs and learnt how to breath by itself.

At the exact same moment, all the martial arts that Li Fuchen had learnt, advanced in the bat of the eye.

Crescent Sword Style: Trance stage attained.

Tiger Cross Fang Slash: Trance stage attained.

Stone Shattering Palm Style: Trance stage attained.

Clear Breeze Sword Style: Trance stage attained.

Shao Shang Sword Style: Trance stage attained.

Mountain Splitting Palm Style: Trance stage attained.

Red Jade Sword Style: Perfection stage attained.

Red Jade Palm Style: Perfection stage attained.

This sensation was too incredible. It was as though all of the martial arts essence was comprehensively integrated and absorbed by Li Fuchen. And it was at this moment that Li Fuchen understood that every martial art was in fact deeply related to each other.

Pi Pa!

In his soul spirit, there were traces of green lightning scuttling around. With every scuttle, a patch of thought got cleared out in Li Fuchen's mind, pushing his Red Jade Technique from the seventh rank to the peak of the seventh rank, then to seventh rank pinnacle.

(TL note: The author suddenly added a 'pinnacle' state in the technique ranks)

Finally, a cloud of blazing flame was branded into his mind.

Li Fuchen didn't know what that brand was, but he knew it shouldn't be anything bad.

After a sleepless night, the morning sun rose.

Li Fuchen sat cross-legged at the side of the window, basking in the golden rays of the sun and began cultivating the Scarlet Fire Technique.

The Scarlet Fire Technique which was formerly astringent to cultivate, became extremely smooth today.

36 cycles of qi circulation later, the technique intent of the Scarlet Fire Technique broke through to the sixth rank first, then follow by the technique itself.

The sixth rank of the Scarlet Fire Technique was overbearing and wasn't any weaker than the seventh rank pinnacle Red Jade Technique.

Two weeks later, Li Fuchen persisted with his efforts and raised the Scarlet Fire Technique
