In the back courtyard, Chu Xue's body danced, the sword light in her hand scattered, sweat dripping down her face like rain.
Just yesterday, the number of heavy earth talismans on her body had increased to 10.
Which meant that since yesterday, she had to bear 4.2 million kilograms of pressure at every moment.
This was what Zong Shou instructed, saying that it could help her train her body. In the future, when she faced experts several grades higher than her, it would also be beneficial. It was also the key for her to break through to grade 7.
Since a year and a half ago, it had already started. At first, there were only two, then four, and now there were ten of them. Even when she was sleeping, she wasn't allowed to take it off.
However, till date, apart from her body strengthening, Chu Xue didn't see any other benefits.
She only knew that during this year and a half, every sword she waved was really tough. The stamina she consumed was 10 times that of usual.
At the start, she couldn't even last for more than 8 minutes. Only 6 months ago did she get used to it.
Every time she got used to it, Zong Shou would ask her to add 2 more talismans.
He also told her to control her strength. 4.2 million kilograms. Usually when she stepped on the ground, if she didn't pay attention, pretty much every step she took would sink into the ground.
Which meant that at every moment, she needed to consume a huge amount of soul power, borrowing the power of the 5 spirit beasts to allow her body to float above the ground.
While casting spells, he also practiced this sword technique. It was really, really tough!
Every night, she would be close to collapsing.
However, since young master said that he wanted her to know every sword move of the 5 spirit sword like the back of her hand, until she could use the sword from her heart. Then, she definitely wouldn't give up halfway!
A year and a half, this set of sword techniques. She had broken it into pieces, bit by bit, slowly understanding it.
Chu Xue also knew that her comprehension was too weak. She couldn't understand the meaning of many sword techniques. However, beside her, there was a sword technique grandmaster like Zong Shou that she could ask for advice.
Zong Shou often didn't choose to teach through words, directly teaching by example. Sometimes, even before the brain understands, the body has already grasped it.
The so-called Five Spirit Swords were actually five completely different sword styles, which had five sword intents that combined with the Five Spirit Beasts. Moreover, when using the sword technique, one would often have to mix in spiritual spells to activate the divine abilities of the five spiritual beasts. It was incomparably complicated.
But now, she could freely use and switch between the five types of sword techniques that she had almost no practice with. When he cast spells and abilities, he would be able to do so at the right time.
According to what Zong Shou said, there were very few flaws. This Sword Art was not far from reaching the Minor Accomplishment Level of swordsmanship. Ordinary Stage 6 powerhouses were no longer her match.
He remembered that when he said those words, the young master was shocked and rueful, saying that she was simply the legendary Heaven Reaching Ape. It was rumored that during the Ancient Cloud Desolate Era, it was very stupid, but in a very short period of time, it was a type of divine beast that could imitate all kinds of secret techniques and divine abilities.
At that time, Chu Xue was so embarrassed that she wanted to hit Zong Shou's head with a hammer. However, during these twenty odd days, she was especially excited and trained even more diligently. Thus, every night, before it reached 2pm, she would lie on the bed and not be willing to climb up.
At this moment, outside the door of the room that Zong Shou was cultivating in, Zhao Yanran was really relaxed, looking on with interest.
Ever since she heard that Zong Shou was going into secluded meditation to break through to the Day Wandering realm. During these ten days, she stayed here. Most of the time, she closed her eyes to cultivate. Occasionally, she would open her eyes and quietly look on as she trained.
"Tsk tsk, this sword technique is really not bad! Once we fight, even if you don't have the combat martial body, I might not be your opponent. However, Xue, you really believe the words of your young master? He has already pasted ten of these talismans, what a pervert … "
"In the past, I have heard of people using the talisman to train their body, and the effects were not bad. However, I have never heard of someone using the talisman to break through to Stage 7. Be careful not to be tricked by your young master. That fellow is the evilest of all … "
Chu Xue curled her lips, too lazy to bother. He was still fully focused, trying his best to perfect each and every sword move.
At this moment, she was about to use up all her strength, both her hands trembling. Hence, to make this sword stance perfect was more and more difficult.
"Your young master is definitely using different methods to torture you. Xue, think carefully, what did you do recently to offend that fellow? "
Chu Xue's heart couldn't help but jump. Two years ago, when she rushed back to Gantian Mountain, in a fit of anger, she pasted the luck talisman on the young master's head. She caused the young master to end up in such a tragic state.
However, the young master didn't seem like such a petty person?
However, thinking about it carefully, Zong Shou's style of doing things seemed to be to take revenge?
Did the young master really conned her?
Following which, she felt wary, continuing to slash out with her sword, angrily scoffing, "Sister Yanran, you are talking nonsense! If you continue to use illusions, Xue I won't bother with you anymore! "
However, this sword was a little off, and he couldn't continue after that. Chu Xue was helpless, she could only change her sword technique to the spirit and martial arts merger sword that Zong Shou taught her.
Zong Shou always told her to give up, but Chu Xue herself wasn't willing. This sword technique definitely had some effect. In the past, her internal energy and soul power were like ice and fire, totally unable to merge. However, today it was much better.
She always felt that between the two, there was only a thin layer. As long as she broke it, she would be able to merge her internal energy and soul power into one.
Which was why Chu Xue trained hard. She had personally seen Zong Shou use the spirit and martial arts merger sword, his strength jumping 2 grades and going up against Xuanyuan Tong.
Rumors had it that anyone who was able to merge spirit and martial arts would have combat strength far above people of the same level. Chu Xue didn't like to be a burden. Recently following beside Zong Shou, other people said that she was dumb, a flower vase, a burden to the young master.
The 5 spirit beasts that the young master gave her were like a heavy burden, pressing down on her shoulders.
Which was why after seeing a bit of hope, she wasn't willing to give up.
When that Zhao Yanran saw that, she burst out laughing. In the end, she didn't use that illusionary technique, only saying curiously, "Xue, you really offended him? Tell me, what's going on? "
However, the voice behind him was suddenly drowned out by the sound of a sword. In the next instance, they heard a clear voice ring out throughout the vast habitat.
"… I am Jueyu, I am here to visit the mountain! I want to learn sword techniques from Cang Shengdao, please teach me! "
That voice reverberated and didn't stop for a long time. Zhao Yanran's brows froze, muttering softly, "That Jueyu finally came!"
Following which she smiled towards Chu Xue and asked, "Do you want to go and take a look?"
Chu Xue hesitated, she was a little curious. What did that sword prince Jueyu look like? Did he really have 3 heads and 6 arms to be able to challenge the 10 shrines and 19 spiritual houses and never lose?
However, when she saw the sword in her hand, Chu Xue's thoughts suddenly calmed down. Just as she was about to reject. Zhao Yanran directly flew over, pulling her hand and directly rising into the air. She brought along a 100 feet long ribbon as she flew in the air.
"You are already exhausted, where do you have the strength to train the sword? Go over there to take a look, treat it as a rest. Watching someone like Jueyu fight with the sword is beneficial for your future. Look at Zong Yuan, Ruoshui and the others, didn't they follow? However, Xue you are really heavy now, this 4 million kilograms, to think that you can take it … "
Chu Xue turned around and took a look, as expected she saw the 2 people behind her, one in front and one behind as they rose into the air.
The people behind arrived first, in just a moment they overtook them. Ruoshui treated her better. As his figure flashed past, he grabbed her with one hand, and then his speed suddenly increased dramatically.
Tens of breaths later, they were out of the city gates of the palace. They directly went out of the common people's vast habitat and came to a wide space fissure.
Only to see that there were numerous people gathered here. Most of them were Cang Shengdao's disciples, there was also a portion who were sent by him. They all chose a place, either sitting or standing as they looked out.
In the middle stood a tall young man. He was dressed in black, his face so handsome that it was devilish. Compared to her young master who inherited the sky fox bloodline, he was a little different. He held a black broadsword in his hand as he stood there quietly. His eyes were slightly closed like he was resting.
The gazes of the people around were really complicated. There was respect, disgust, jealousy. However, not a single one of them was dissatisfied.
This person was called sword prince and had gone through hundreds of battles. He stepped on the heads of the 10 shrines, 19 spiritual houses, all the young talents. No one dared to doubt his strength.
Chu Xue carefully sized up that Jueyu and then shook her head, "He isn't as good as my young master!"
Zhao Yanran instantly smiled and was about to speak. Yet another bell chime was heard. A slightly hoarse voice could be heard.
"Yuanfei, Xie An, Han Jian, Xuanye, Zhu Ling, Guoyu, Xuechu, these 6 people can quickly come to the main hall of the palace!"
This voice seemed like only the Cang Shengdao disciples could hear it. They were all in an uproar. They knew that these 7 people were chosen by the sect to accept the challenge. They had more or less heard of the names of the first 6 people. However, they had never heard of the last one.
As for the factionless cultivators and other sect disciples who came to watch the show, they didn't react at all.
Chu Xue originally didn't care much. After a short while, she saw Zhao Yanran and the others look over with weird expressions. Only then did her expression change.
Thinking back to Xuechu, it was the alias she chose when she entered the Cang Shengdao palace. He spelled his name upside down.
Why was it her? Cang Shengdao's 3 sects and 6 schools had so many young talents who recently returned to the palace. There were over 10 grade 8 experts below a hundred years old. Why did they choose her?
She was obviously just grade 6!
Zhao Yanran was also surprised. Thinking about it for a moment, she said in deep thought, "Anyways since the sect called, we should go take a look. Or maybe some elder in the sect thinks highly of your talent. "
Chu Xue curled her lips in disdain. Till date she still remembered the disdain that old man Hanfang had when they first met. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
