Does your face hurt?
Whoosh!
A nervous voice came out from Shui Qianyue's mouth.
At this moment, she was standing before the third sword stele.
She had attempted the first two sword steles, but both of them ended in failure.
She didn't give up just like that. She quietly queued up and tried them one by one.
"As long as I can break one of the sword steles, I can become Luo Yun's direct disciple. I will not miss this opportunity. I will use my own actions to prove that the distance between us isn't far!"
Shui Qianyue had a strong personality and was never willing to admit defeat.
That exchange of glances in Xuanjian Valley had already left an indelible mark in her heart. That was why she had become Chu Xingyun's disciple and had come here to try again and again.
Buzz!
Following the blossoming of Wu Ling's light, a blue radiance began to emanate from Shui Qianyue's body. The radiance circled around her body, causing her aura to become gentle and charming. Behind her, an illusory image of a Spirit Fox appeared, emitting layers of blue light.
"Hmm?"
Right at this moment, Shui Qianyue suddenly had a feeling. She noticed that the tall pitch black sword stele before her was actually emitting waves of profound fluctuations.
This fluctuation was continuous and gentle like water, causing her body to involuntarily resonate with it.
"Slash!" Shui Qianyue was overjoyed. She immediately drew her sword and thrust it forward.
She was full of confidence in this sword!
A rumbling sound rang out as the tip of the sword pressed against the body of the tablet, causing the entire sword tablet to shake violently. However, in the end, it returned to its original state, and only a sword mark was left on the tablet.
The sword stele was still unbroken.
"How could this be?" Shui Qianyue's gaze froze. Her delicate body trembled in disbelief.
"Next!"
At this moment, Lu Ling's voice rang out and woke Shui Qianyue up.
Her eyes were already sparkling, but she still did not give up. Her gaze landed on Chu Xingyun, and she clenched her fists stubbornly. She turned around and walked towards the fourth group.
Chu Xingyun saw this scene.
However, his expression did not change, and he only stared at him with a calm gaze.
Time flew by quickly as he continued to try. However, none of the seven sword steles had been broken. They continued to face the scorching sun as they stood under the sword tip.
There were even some people who had entered the Heavenly Spirit Realm who were unable to break through the sword stele.
Over time, some of the Wanjian Pavilion disciples who had gathered there began to feel irritated.
"To be able to become a direct disciple just by breaking a sword stele, and to be rewarded with a precious Jiuxuan Yang Pill, this is truly absurd. It's most likely just a ploy to attract attention. In reality, it's impossible to break the sword stele!"
At this moment, an extremely ear-piercing voice rang out.
The source of the voice came from the sky. Two young men stood there with mocking smiles on their faces as they looked down with disdain.
These two people were Chang Mingyang and Qi Yuzhen.
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd below became even more irritated. Their eyes flickered as they looked at the seven sword steles, as if they were pondering this question.
The faces of Yun Changqing and the others darkened. Before they could speak, Chu Xingyun strode out and sneered, "Some people are jealous. Not only do they want to attract attention, they even mocked and ridiculed me. With my current reputation, do I need to use such a fake method to attract attention?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chang Mingyang was so angry that smoke was coming out of his seven orifices. However, he was helpless as he did not know how to refute. He could only grit his teeth and stare at Chu Xingyun.
"You really don't know what you're talking about!"
Chu Xingyun mocked again. Then, he looked away and ignored Chang Mingyang and Qi Yuzhen. He said to Lu Ling and Gu Xuanqing, "The two of you, break the first and second sword steles respectively."
Lu Ling and Gu Xuanqing did not hesitate. After nodding, they immediately walked to the front of the sword steles.
Immediately, everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them.
The two of them took a step forward at the same time. Wu Ling's light bloomed and enveloped the entire sword steles. A sword pierced through the air and stabbed towards the center of the steles.
Ding ding!
Ding! Two crisp sounds rang out. The tip of the sword touched the steles. In an instant, there was no movement. Even Lu Ling and Gu Xuanqing's figures stiffened. Everything was eerily quiet.
Seeing this, Chang Mingyang was overjoyed. However, just as he was about to continue mocking them, the first and second sword steles suddenly shattered and released thousands of streams of light.
The streams of light were sharp golden light and gentle green light. They enveloped Lu Ling and Gu Xuanqing's bodies respectively and turned into a vast vortex of light that slowly merged into their limbs and bones.
After a while, the two of them opened their eyes at the same time. Sharp sword Qi and continuous sword Qi swept out from their bodies. Anyone who felt these two streams of sword Qi would feel their minds tremble and could not calm down for a long time.
"Thank you for your gift, Master!" Lu Ling and Gu Xuanqing said at the same time and knelt down heavily.
The first sword stele was a metal one, which was most suitable for Lu Ling.
The second sword stele was a wood one, which was most suitable for Gu Xuanqing.
As the two of them attacked, the two sword steles naturally shattered. The sword seal secret method buried in the sword steles was also integrated into the Spiritual Sea. The essence of the metal sword intent and the wood sword intent were completely imparted to the two of them.
That was why they were so excited and knelt down to express their gratitude.
"Now, do you feel any pain in your face?"
Chu Xingyun then looked at Chang Mingyang and Qi Yuzhen. With a light tap of his finger, two round crimson Jiuxuan Yang-Piercing Elixirs immediately appeared in everyone's sight.
Before the two Jiuxuan Yang-Piercing Elixirs fell, Lu Ling and Gu Xuanqing immediately waved their hands and said at the same time, "The sword steles contain the essence of the sword principle. We are already very satisfied with it. The Jiuxuan Yang-Piercing Elixirs are not easy to come by. Master, please keep them and don't waste them."
Hearing these words, the crowd's expression changed.
Lu Ling and Gu Xuanqing's characters did not need to be said. They all knew in their hearts. However, the Jiuxuan Yang-Piercing Elixirs were too precious. It was enough to drive countless people crazy.
The fact that Lu Ling and Gu Xuanqing answered so decisively meant that the essence of the sword principle they obtained from the sword steles was not less valuable than the Jiuxuan Yang-Piercing Elixirs. In fact, it was far more valuable!
In an instant, the irritation in the eyes of the crowd completely disappeared. Intentionally or unintentionally, they looked at Chang Mingyang and Qi Yuzhen with resentment and anger.
It was because of the two of them that two of the seven sword steles were destroyed. Only five were left.
There was even less hope left for the crowd!
Chu Xingyun looked at Chang Mingyang and Qi Yuzhen with a sneer. He had expected that the two of them would come to cause trouble. Therefore, he had set up seven sword steles instead of five.
The metal sword steles and wood sword steles were originally left for Lu Ling and Gu Xuanqing. He had let them break the steles in front of everyone so that he could slap Chang Mingyang and Qi Yuzhen in the face and eliminate everyone's doubts.
"They are Luo Yun's direct disciples and the seven sword steles were set up by Luo Yun himself. There must be something going on!" Chang Mingyang was flustered and exasperated. He immediately defended himself loudly.
However, the moment he finished speaking, Chu Xingyun raised a finger and made a shushing gesture.
Crack!
A familiar yet strange sound suddenly rang out.
Under Chang Mingyang's astonished gaze, the fourth sword stele broke.
