Breaking the record
But not long after Yue Baili finished speaking, the second batch of disciples who challenged Luo Zheng to a Sword Intent Duel also reacted.
Their reactions were exactly the same as the first three disciples. First, they were pleasantly surprised. Then, without any distractions, they began to recite the True Meaning of Dao to verify their own thoughts …
The second batch of disciples who challenged the Sword Intent Duel consisted of 20 to 30 disciples. These disciples all began to break through their own shackles. It was hard to say that this was a coincidence.
"After the disciples sparred with Luo Zheng, they were able to break through their bottlenecks immediately?"
"The True Meaning of Dao that he imbued was so miraculous?"
"This can only mean that the way he comprehended the Sword Intent of Eternity is very unique … or very accurate!"
At this moment, even the Grand Sword Master was shocked. His mouth was slightly agape as he said, "This, how could this be …"
The Grand Sword Master had been in charge of the "sword observation" for so long, but he had never seen such a bizarre thing!
Those Palace Lords were also shocked and secretly delighted. Luo Zheng had helped dozens of disciples break through at once. This was naturally a great help to the school!
"It should be that Luo Zheng himself is very compatible with the Sword Intent of Eternity. His True Meaning aura is very perfect. The aura left in the minds of the other disciples during the Sword Intent Duel is very pure, so the effect is naturally very good. This situation … I have heard of it once or twice, but it has never happened in our Dao Sword Palace," Qiu Hanyan said lightly.
The Towering Sword could also reflect the aura of the Sword Intent of Eternity to the disciples, but after all, the Towering Sword was giving guidance from the overall situation and was ultimately a dead object.
But Luo Zheng was completely in sync with the other disciples. His True Meaning was what the other disciples needed the most, so the effect was naturally much stronger than the Towering Sword.
The Palace Lord of the Demon Sword Palace blinked and an idea came to his mind. He said, "If this Luo Zheng really has it, should we stop Luo Zheng from cultivating and let him stay within the range of 3,000 words?"
Three thousand words was a bottleneck that was neither too big nor too small. Many disciples of the academy would be stuck at this stage. If Luo Zheng stayed at this stage, the cultivation speed of the academy disciples would naturally increase greatly in the future.
But these words were a bit too shameless. Who would be willing to sacrifice for others and delay their own cultivation?
Even Yue Baili felt that this suggestion was unreasonable and did not respond.
Qiu Sheng Shui sneered and said, "Qiu Yun 'er, your Demon Sword Palace's disciples are humans, but my Condensing Sword Academy's disciples aren't humans? Just the bunch of trash from your Demon Sword Palace added together wouldn't even be worth a single Luo Zheng! "
Qiu Yun 'er was embarrassed by Qiu Sheng Shui's words. She said coldly, "It's just a suggestion. Besides, it hasn't even been a month since Luo Zheng joined Condensing Sword Academy, right? In the end, he's still an outsider. I'm doing this for the sake of the Qiu Clan, the Yuebai Clan, and even the entire Dao Sword Palace! "
"Really?" Qiu Sheng Shui sneered. "According to my Dao Sword Palace, I'm afraid that Luo Zheng can't stay. If you think this suggestion is good, go talk to Luo Zheng personally. In the future, if Luo Zheng can make a name for himself in Tai Yi Heaven Palace, you, Qiu Yun 'er, will bear all the trouble. How about it?"
Hearing that, Qiu Yun 'er's face froze. In the end, she did not say anything. She knew that Luo Zheng would not agree to such a thing unless she pressured Luo Zheng in the name of Dao Sword Palace. However, she was afraid that she would offend Luo Zheng completely.
On the rooftop …
Lai Huabei, Liu Ci 'an, Qiu Siyuan, Yue Bai Hao and the others were all dumbfounded as they watched Luo Zheng leisurely recite the True Meaning of Dao.
"Brother Luo Zheng doesn't have a bottleneck?" Lai Huabei said in a daze.
Lai Huabei's bottleneck was 12 words. 12 words …
Liu Ci 'an also said with a complicated expression, "In Heaven's Wall City, I've never heard of anyone who can do this. Even the City Lord can't do it …"
"Don't use your puny Heaven's Wall City Lord as an example. There are still people in our Dao Sword Palace who can write over three thousand words without encountering a bottleneck, and there are quite a few of them … Among this batch of disciples, Qiu Yi and Yue Baicheng can do it. I remember that Qiu Yi's first record was 4,300 words, while Yue Baicheng's record was 4,250 words," Qiu Siyuan said.
"So powerful! Dao Sword Palace is indeed full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers … "Liu Ci 'an said in surprise.
In comparison, the geniuses in the small Heaven's Wall City and even the Tiandu State were not worth mentioning …
Yue Bai Hao crossed his arms and smiled. "But Brother Luo Zheng is different. I think he might surpass Qiu Yi's record this time!"
Just as they were talking, Luo Zheng continued to recite. He had already crossed the threshold of 3,800 words and was heading straight for 4,000 words.
Luo Zheng's sword-shaped pattern rose higher and higher on the towering sword. At this stage, the number of disciples gradually decreased, and the number of disciples who sought him out for a True-Intent Sword Battle naturally decreased as well.
However, after these disciples realized Luo Zheng's "miraculous use", they would not let go of this opportunity. Almost everyone controlled their sword-shaped patterns and waited above Luo Zheng.
Therefore, Luo Zheng's sword-shaped pattern rose all the way up through a True-Intent Sword Battle. This imperceptibly increased the difficulty for Luo Zheng.
"4,000 words …"
"Looks like he's going to break Qiu Yi and Yue Bai Cheng's record!"
"I wonder if he can break this record …"
Qiu Yi and Yue Bai Cheng of Burial Sword Palace were originally engaged in an intense True-Intent Sword Battle.
The Eternal Sword Intent had a total of 9,449 words. The two of them had already stepped into the 9,000 word stage. They were just one step away from being able to control the Sun Soul and enter the Sea of True-Intent that they yearned for even in their dreams.
Both of their sword-shaped patterns appeared above the towering sword, leaving the other disciples far behind. The third place of the academy had not even reached 7,000 words yet.
What the two of them cared about was the record they left behind.
When they first comprehended the Eternal Sword Intent, Qiu Yi broke through 4,300 words, while Yue Bai Cheng broke through 4,250 words. This record did not need to be compared to the current batch of disciples. Even if they were compared to the previous batch of disciples, they would be able to enter the top 30.
The two of them were rather satisfied with this record. They did not think that anyone in this batch of disciples would be able to surpass it.
However, today, the Sword Condensation Academy had recruited a new disciple who had already broken through 4,000 words. This was something that Yue Bai Cheng and Qiu Yi had never expected.
"The disciples of the Sword Condensation Academy, other than those silkpants from the main family, are all mediocre people who were recruited from small places. How did such a person appear this time?" Yue Bai Cheng asked with a frown.
