"You're also a Martial cultivator?"
Leng Tian Xing looked at him putting on the pauldrons, finally couldn't help but ask.
Gu Qing Shan didn't bother to answer, only pointed in a direction and asked: "The place we're going, is it that way?"
Leng Tian Xing followed his finger and answered: "That's right"
That direction is filled with demons, there's not even a place to stand, like a tidal wave.
If they want to escape from that direction, it'll be a bloody battle.
Gu Qing Shan scowled.
Both he and Leng Tian Xing are good at long-range attacks, but without a Martial cultivator to clear the way, the two of them will quickly be drowned by the horde of demons.
In the following battle, they'll need a close combat Martial cultivator to hold them off.
— — -in truth, a sword cultivator can also hold off this many demons.
As Gu Qing Shan thought about it, he suddenly tapped his Inventory Bag and took out a sword.
This is the sword that Gu Qing Shan used all his strength to retrieve after Wang Cheng died.
Gu Qing Shan held the sword, carefully looking at it.
From the outside, it looks like a standard standard sword, the only thing special about it is the word "Qian Qi" engraved on the hilt.
Carefully sensing it, the blade of the sword carries a bit of coldness.
Gu Qing Shan lightly swung the sword, the coldness silently spread out.
Sword cultivator Wang Cheng is a Qian Qi Captain, so according to the corresponding treatment, his sword was made with a bit of precious Chilling Soul iron.
With this bit of Chilling Soul iron, the sword becomes twice as sharp.
The only bad thing is, the blacksmith only cares about sharpness when forging the sword, so the blade is half an inch too thin, it's easy to bend or even break in an intense battle.
"You know swordsmanship?"
Leng Tian Xing saw him so focused on the sword, so he asked.
Right now he doesn't dare to look down on this formation user whose cultivation isn't that high anymore, so he's treating him as an equal.
Gu Qing Shan's expression didn't change at all, only answered: "I know a bit"
In his vision, the War God UI's notifications started to pop up.
"Discovered sword"
"Detected that the player knows 1753 types of sword techniques."
[Detected user has War God UI and War God Skills]
"There are no traces of Godfiends. The environment is stable and safe."
"Removing protective measures. Beginning memory return."
"Awaken!"
[From now on, players can use Soul Power to awaken their swordsmanship cultivation.]
Gu Qing Shan stood up and lightly swung her sword.
"Ding."
The system beeped again.
"According to the player's memory, considering the player's current cultivation, the sword techniques that won't cause the player's body or soul to collapse are listed below."
A few options popped up on the War God UI in front of Gu Qing Shan.
"Sword Art: Wind Slash Sword Art"
"Sword Art: Hundred Tai Sword Art"
"Sword Technique: Flowing Cloud Sword Technique"
"Sword Technique: Mountain Splitting Sword Technique."
"Sword Technique: Four Seas Sword Technique"
"Secret Art: Water Flow Severance"
[In view of the fact that the player already has a deep understanding of the various sword arts, the cost of awakening the previous sword arts cultivation has been minimized.]
[Awakening Sword Technique costs 5 Soul Points. Awakening Secret Art costs 10 Soul Points]
A Secret Art is a powerful sword technique. These types of sword techniques usually only have a single strike, the king of all sword techniques.
From a cultivator's point of view, a Secret Art is a sword cultivator's Thaumaturgy.
Glancing over, Gu Qing Shan quickly made her choice.
"Awakened Wind Slash Sword Technique, Mountain Splitting Sword Technique; awakened Secret Art: Water Flow Severance"
"Ding"
"Wind Slash Sword Technique, Mountain Splitting Sword Technique, Secret Art: Water Flow Severance have been awakened, Soul Points cost: 20"
"Current Soul Points: 1/7"
Following the consumption of Soul Points, Gu Qing Shan felt a series of memories popping up from the depths of her forgotten memories.
The memories that were sealed away in her mind suddenly became vivid, as if they only happened yesterday.
In a military camp at the frontline.
A group of soldiers were whispering to each other.
"Ahaha, he wants to learn the first 3 strikes of Wind Slash?"
"He's nothing but a piece of trash, the game has already been going on for over half a year, yet he only knows to enter the game"
"That's right, we're already getting used to our swordsmanship, he's only just joined the Vanguard. But that's fine, we'll have someone to be cannon fodder from now on"
"That's right, from now on, when we go out for missions, let him take the lead"
"Ahahaha, that's right"
The voices of discussion stopped. The scene changed.
The moon was in the middle of the sky, there was no one around.
The young him was alone, training his swordsmanship in a secluded place.
The skin on his right hand is already broken, his hand is wrapped in several layers of bandages, as he holds his sword, he feels a sharp pain.
No, I can't give up, this is my only chance to change my fate.
Gu Qing Shan gritted her teeth and made up her mind.
Her sword swung again.
A layer of blood slowly seeped out from the bandages.
He was sweating profusely, training his swordsmanship.
This scene slowly disappeared, and soon after, a new scene slowly appeared.
"Vanguard's Gu Qing Shan, brave and courageous, having killed a demon, special reward is Wind Slash Sword Technique's Secret Art"
"Yes!"
The scene disappeared, replaced by a new one.
On a high platform, Gu Qing Shan was smoothly performing the [Wind Slash Style].
"Hm, that's a bit interesting, but he's too old, how unfortunate"
"At this age, his potential is limited, we don't want him either"
"That's right, he's almost 20 years old and only knows a single Wind Slash, his comprehension isn't that great, we don't want him either"
"Then it's decided, the semester examination first round results in elimination?"
"Hm, I think that's fine"
"Then it's decided, the next one, get on stage"
The scene changed.
Gu Qing Shan was like a zombie, standing still on the desolate street, ice and snow covering his body.
Suddenly, two cultivators walked past him, whispering to each other.
"The auction house has quite a few Sword Techniques up for auction, I've taken a liking to one of them, but the price is quite high, I'll need to go back and gather some spirit stones"
"Ah, is that so, do you want me to help you?"
"Then I'll thank you, senior brother"
As soon as their conversation reached Gu Qing Shan's ears, Gu Qing Shan abruptly turned around.
"Fellow Dao seeker, is what you said just now true?"
"Where did this qi training realm trash come from, scram!"
…
"You're Gu Qing Shan? Have you really thought about sneaking into the demon's territory to collect herbs? "
"Hm, as long as your promised payment doesn't change"
"Our shop's thousand-year reputation will never change"
"Then there's no problem"
"Little brother, I want to remind you, if you die in the demon's territory, we won't be responsible for collecting your corpse"
"No matter, no one will need my corpse to mourn"
"… Hah, what a pitiful person, then it's settled"
The scene disappeared.
Countless scenes appeared and disappeared, but the Sword Technique was becoming clearer and clearer in his mind.
His memories were all awakened.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and raised his sword.
"I'm finally back"
"I'm the Sword Saint, Gu Qing Shan"
His low voice was heard.
Leng Tian Xing was a bit confused, so he became cautious.
He's broken down. Did the Tianma come again?
Gu Qing Shan slowly walked, swinging his sword as he walked, slowly getting used to the Sword Technique.
All the Sword Techniques shown on the War God UI just now were ones that he knew and had a high level of proficiency in.
The reason why he chose these three Sword Techniques was because Gu Qing Shan had seriously thought about it.
Wind Slash Style is fast, Kai Shan Style is heavy, they complement each other perfectly.
