The Yin-yang Elders weren't the only ones who didn't believe it. Lin Ling and Xiang Ying didn't believe it either. Just like what Elder Yang said, they believed that it was already a great achievement to reach the Perfect Realm of Basic Saber Techniques. Generally, as long as one reached the Small Achievement Realm, one could learn other saber techniques. There weren't many people who could reach the Great Achievement Realm, let alone the Perfect Realm. As for reaching the Unity Realm, in their opinion, it was referring to other saber techniques. It had nothing to do with Basic Saber Techniques.
But after seeing Zhao Hai use basic sword techniques, Lin Ling and Xiang Ying understood that basic sword techniques could also be practiced to such a degree. Looking at the sword technique that seemed to be alive and had a soul, the two weren't just shocked, they were also happy. This was because they learned a lot from Zhao Hai's sword techniques, which would be very beneficial to their cultivation.
After Elder Yang finished speaking, Elder Yin said in a deep voice, "Nowadays, some of the young cultivators in the sect aren't able to calm down and practice basic saber moves. They think that basic saber moves are useless, and that they can only defeat their enemies if they learn a higher level saber technique. But what they don't know is that once they learn a higher level saber technique, it'll be very difficult for them to go back to basic saber moves. At that time, their saber techniques have already been set in stone, and they've already developed a habit. It's very difficult to change those habits. Moreover, at the same level, those who can use basic saber moves better are definitely stronger. Little Ling, you go and compete with Little Hai. Remember, control your spiritual qi so that it's about the same as Little Hai's."
Hearing Elder Yin's words, Lin Ling wasn't angry at all. Instead, he was very happy and followed Zhao Hai to the small courtyard. Elder Yin's words were tantamount to letting Lin Ling be Zhao Hai's sparring partner. Ordinary cultivators wouldn't be happy, but Lin Ling didn't feel unhappy at all. Instead, he thought that this was a rare opportunity. He finally had the opportunity to spar with someone who had practiced basic sword techniques to the large success stage. He wanted to feel what it felt like to spar with such a person.
The two arrived at the small courtyard and stood facing each other. Lin Ling had already drawn his sword, and Zhao Hai also took out his Tang Sword. The two looked at each other and made a sword drawing salute. Then, they got into a fighting stance.
Lin Ling's fighting stance was very particular. He planned to use a very famous sword technique from the Tyrant Sword School, the Five Ding Mountain Splitting Sword Technique, to fight against Zhao Hai. Therefore, his fighting stance was to stand in a bow position. The long sword in his hand was pointed straight at Zhao Hai, and he was ready to shoot an arrow at Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai could clearly feel the aura coming from Lin Ling's sword, but he wasn't surprised. He just stood there holding his sword. He had practiced basic sword techniques to the highest level. No matter what kind of fighting stance it was, it was actually the same. Of course, basic sword techniques weren't enough to fight against the enemy. Zhao Hai hadn't learned any other sword techniques, so he could only use his Sky Demon Seven Slaughtering Blade.
As Zhao Hai's understanding of basic sword techniques deepened, Zhao Hai's understanding of his own Sky Demon Seven Slaughtering Blade was also getting deeper. Now, he hadn't used the Sky Demon Seven Slaughtering Blade for a long time, but he didn't have a sense of strangeness.
Slowly, Lin Ling's aura became more and more powerful. He was like a mountain, standing there without any change. This wasn't because of his spiritual energy, but because of his sword technique.
Saber techniques also had a soul. This was something that almost everyone who practiced the saber knew. This was especially true for the Tyrant's Saber School, which specialized in saber cultivation.
However, if a person wanted to practice the sword technique to have a soul, it would be very difficult. Just like what Elder Yin said before, a sword technique that wasn't at the Creature Level didn't have a soul. When it reached the Perfection Realm, it would have some aura. This aura was the origin of the sword technique. Although it wasn't as strong as the soul, it could still increase the power of the sword technique.
And now, Lin Ling was using the Five Ding Mountain Splitting Blade Technique. He had already practiced it to the Perfection Realm, so his starting stance already had an aura, like a mountain.
Zhao Hai also felt Lin Ling's aura, but he wasn't afraid. He didn't move at all, but the aura on his body was getting more and more powerful.
Moreover, Zhao Hai's Sky Demon Seven Slaughtering Blade was different from Lin Ling's Five Ding Mountain Splitting Blade. The Sky Demon Seven Slaughtering Blade focused on killing, and this blade technique was filled with murderous aura. Now that Zhao Hai was operating the Sky Demon Seven Slaughtering Blade's aura, Lin Ling felt that around Zhao Hai's body, there were bursts of murderous aura. He could even see the dark red blood and smell the bloody aura. He felt that the person standing in front of him wasn't Zhao Hai, but a devil holding a butcher's knife, standing on a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. And this devil's butcher's knife was still dripping with blood.
Lin Ling was startled, then he immediately calmed his mind. This was because he was very clear that what he felt was an illusion. He was affected by Zhao Hai's murderous aura, causing him to hallucinate.
Zhao Hai didn't care so much, his aura was already very strong. He had already integrated his understanding of ordinary blade techniques into the Sky Demon Seven Slaughtering Blade. It's just that he hadn't really fought with people yet, and Lin Ling was the best touchstone.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hai didn't wait any longer. He waved his long blade and shouted, "Kill!" The blade chopped towards Lin Ling. This blade seemed like an ordinary chop, but Lin Ling didn't think so. Zhao Hai's chop was too wonderful, to the extreme. This chop not only sealed all of his escape routes, but also sealed all of his moves. It was as if he could predict the future.
This ordinary chop gave Lin Ling a feeling that he couldn't resist or dodge. He felt like a mosquito that fell into a spider's web. He didn't even have a chance to struggle.
Fortunately, he was also a valiant cultivator. His heart was as hard as stone. With a shout, he raised the saber in his hand and used it to meet Zhao Hai's saber.
But at this moment, he suddenly found that Zhao Hai's blade technique had changed. Zhao Hai's figure moved, and the blade in his hand changed from a straight chop to a swipe. Lin Ling was very clear that if Zhao Hai managed to swipe this blade, then he would be dead.
Lin Ling snorted, and his body swayed back. At the same time, his whole body leaned back. His knees and legs didn't move, but his entire upper body seemed to be broken. He leaned back fiercely and avoided Zhao Hai's attack.
However, Zhao Hai's change was still fast. The blade in his hand turned and immediately pressed down. Lin Ling had already expected this move, so he turned his body sideways and directly avoided the attack. Although Zhao Hai's moves didn't hurt him, Lin Ling had already fallen into a disadvantage.
Elder Yin and the others were smart people. When they saw Lin Ling's appearance, they knew that Lin Ling's blade technique was far worse than Zhao Hai's.
Zhao Hai and Lin Ling didn't care so much. Now, the two of them were completely immersed in the battle. Even Xiang Ying, who was standing on the side, stared at the two of them intently.
Zhao Hai and the Demon Seven Slaughtering Blade focused on killing, and Lin Ling's Five Ding Mountain Splitting Blade wasn't something to be trifled with. It was a famous blade technique of the Tyrant Blade Sect. Although this blade technique was of the earth attribute, it was a very aggressive blade technique. It was one of the signature blade techniques of the Tyrant Blade Sect.
When the two of them fought, all of them used offensive moves. The battle was very lively, but Elder Yin and the others all saw the knack of it. In the process of this battle, Zhao Hai had a lot of tricks up his sleeves. It seemed like he was combining his own blade technique.
Seeing this, Elder Yin couldn't help but nod. Then he turned to Elder Yang and said, "Good, this kid's murderous aura is very heavy. I was afraid that he would lose his mind. I didn't expect him to be able to maintain such a calm heart in such a fierce battle. It's rare."
Elder Yang nodded and said in a deep voice, "It seems that ascending step by step from the lower realms has this advantage. It's much better to train the mind compared to us. Senior Brother, it seems that it's best to let Little Hai practice the Blade Technique of the Killing Dao in the future."
Elder Yin said, "Let's see. Although Little Hai's Killing Dao Saber Art is good, I feel that the Killing Dao Saber Art doesn't match his personality. What do you think?"
Elder Yang thought about Zhao Hai's usual polite appearance and nodded. Then he sighed and said, "It's true. Forget it, let's wait and see."
While the two were talking, the battle between Zhao Hai and Lin Ling was about to come to an end. Zhao Hai had completely familiarized himself with the Demon Seven Slaughtering Blade. He was also very lenient with his attacks. This time, Lin Ling couldn't hold on any longer. After ten moves, he was already showing signs of defeat.
Fortunately, the two didn't have to decide a winner. Zhao Hai's blade slowed down as he jumped out of the circle. Then he cupped his fist towards Lin Ling and said, "Senior Brother Lin, thank you for letting me win."
Lin Ling let out a long breath as he waved his blade. Then he cupped his fist towards Zhao Hai and said, "Junior Brother Zhao, you win. I didn't think that the basic blade technique would be so useful. Alas, if I had known earlier, I would have practiced it."
Elder Yin waved his hand and said, "You two, come here." The two quickly walked over. Elder Yin looked at the two and said, "You two performed well. Little Ling, do you know the importance of the foundation now? But it's too late for you to change now. In the future, when you practice the blade, you might be able to comprehend the true essence of the blade. Put your heart into it. "
Lin Ling cupped his fist and said, "Yes, thank you Elder for your guidance."
Elder Yin nodded, then he turned to Zhao Hai and smiled, "Little Hai, I have to say, you really gave me a lot of surprises. Good, very good. For more than a year, you've been practicing the most basic blade moves, but in a short period of time, you were able to apply your understanding of basic blade moves to your fighting strength. This is very rare. Although the blade technique you just used isn't a high level blade technique, it's still a good one. However, the murderous aura of the blade technique is too strong, almost to the point of drawing blood. You should use it less in the future, otherwise, it would be harmful to the heavens." Elder Yin nodded, then he turned to Zhao Hai and smiled, "Little Hai, I have to say, you really gave me a lot of surprises. Good, very good.
