Lou Xiaoyi calmed down. What was coming couldn't be avoided. Since he couldn't resist, he could only seize the time to enrich himself.
Closing the door and rejecting all invitations, greetings, and visits gave him a reputation of being unreasonable, but he didn't care anymore.
Only true friends understood him, such as Yan Bo and Yan Heng. They didn't even express their gratitude for receiving gifts. Some concerns didn't need to be thanked. When friends needed help, it was enough to be present.
Lou Xiaoyi filled his cultivation schedule to the brim. Not only did he abuse himself, he also abused the three sword spirits!
The poor three little fellows were whipped like spinning tops by him all day long. They couldn't stop at all! They spent their days in the turbulent waves of Bo Lang Slope, surfing the waves and riding the waves.
A year later, Lou Xiaoyi's extreme pressure paid off. The three sword spirits broke through one after another. The Four Seasons and Jue City broke through the second stage and began to attack the third. Hidden Fragrance also successfully broke through the first stage.
The benefit of breaking through was that the sword spirits were even more powerful. They could also inscribe sword formations on their own flying swords. At this point, the Four Seasons and Jue City flying swords had already inscribed eleven layers of sword formations. This was already the highest level in the Boao Tower. However, Lou Xiaoyi's sword formation was different from those sword techniques. His sword formation was jointly researched by himself and the sword spirits. It had already broken away from Xuanyuan's old framework and was no longer in the same system. This was the profound change brought to him by the sword spirits.
There were still many things to be busy with. He had to dig deeply into the power of the stars. At the very least, he had to reach the limit of the Foundation Establishment stage. The study of the power of the stars was also an important part of the battle. He had to use the Big Dipper and Shen Hou flying swords to complete tens of thousands of strikes a day. This was the true essence of the Sheep Horn Technique!
He could feel his own progress. Although it was slow, it was unwavering! Lou Xiaoyi's personality had a stubborn side. Since he wanted to obtain something, he wasn't stingy with his efforts. If ten thousand strikes a day wasn't enough, then ten thousand strikes, a hundred thousand strikes!
He liked the feeling of pure power. When the flying swords drew a perfect curve in the sky, they fully displayed the essence of the sword. This made him intoxicated.
Right now, he had already forgotten about spell techniques. This was the charm of the sword.
For Lou Xiaoyi, after nearly thirty years of practicing the sword, he had already figured out a set of sword techniques that belonged to him. It was a sword technique system that suited his ideals … … Unlike others who liked to gradually increase the power of their attacks during testing, he valued the first sword very much!
It would be best if the first strike could break through his defense and end the battle!
Even if he couldn't end it, he had to make the other party suffer a huge loss or shock! And because of this, in the following battle, his hands and feet were tied, and he did not dare to use his full strength. He always had to reserve some mana to prepare for his heavy sword attack. This actually created some kind of psychological threat. This was not the power of intimidation, but it achieved the effect of intimidation from another angle!
A battle was nothing more than two aspects: one's own performance, and the other's performance! If he could make his opponent feel apprehensive and not dare to use his full strength, he would have achieved his goal.
Therefore, the first strike was very important to him! Others would leave their trump card for the end, but he chose to leave it at the beginning!
As for what would happen if the first three axes didn't work and it was time for someone else to use their trump card? Actually, it was very simple. Run! If your most powerful attack couldn't do anything to your opponent, then what else could you do but run? Wait for your opponent to put friendship first?
This method of his was very effective in the [A Hundred Vying Barges]. The reason why he was able to move forward without any obstruction was because he did not care about anything and used all his strength in every strike. This kind of swordsmanship was not taught to him by anyone, it was something that he was born with. There was no need to think, it was something that should be done!
Swordsman's battle tactics were very strange. They mainly relied on their own unique abilities and set up some fixed combinations accordingly. They were still not at the level where they could do it so casually, naturally, and perfectly in tune with their surroundings. Therefore, they needed to come up with different battle tactics.
For example, how to attack a spell practitioner, how to probe, how to find an opportunity, what kind of flying sword combination, strength combination, attribute combination, to find a chance to win.
What to do against a body practitioner? What to do against a fellow Swordsman? These were all things that needed to be weighed and calculated! It was not as simple as just throwing out all the flying swords that one knew in a daze.
Generally speaking, this was a style that a Swordsman slowly formed after fifty years of foundation building. It was because their horizons were broadened, their knowledge was broadened, and they had experienced many battles. They also had a set of flying swords that they refined themselves. Only then could they have their own battle characteristics and battle tactics. Only then could they truly possess a certain level of battle prowess.
Because Lou Xiaoyi had a sword spirit, he was able to form a system earlier. However, it was also because he formed his battle style earlier that he had an extra burden. The more battles he fought, the more time he had to practice his swordsmanship. As a result, the most important aspect of a cultivator's cultivation level was weakened.
Of course, compared to other cultivators at the same time, he was not weak. However, compared to the normal circumstances of the missions that he faced, he was weak!
For missions like crossing the Wolf Ridge like this, Xuanyuan would usually send a late stage Foundation building Swordsman to carry them out. They would not choose a mid stage Foundation building cultivator like him. This was also a form of protection. However, for some reason, this protection was ineffective when it came to him.
He felt that his position in Xuanyuan's Sword Faction was very strange. It was not like an ordinary Foundation building cultivator should be. There was always someone taking care of him. It was not the care of spirit stones or resources. It was another kind of situation. It was like a landlord waking up in the middle of the night to ask his workers to work!
This was a feeling that he could not be sure of. In the upper echelons of Xuanyuan, he still did not have a trustworthy backer.
He had never thought of finding himself a master. This was also a deep-rooted concept. It was not because of any specific reason, but because he did not need one. He believed that he could take care of himself …
In the Dark Hall, Gu Lin sighed. His fate with this young Swordsman was broken!
He did not tell him how to teleport. It was not because he was petty. He just wanted to teach this disrespectful young man a lesson! In Xuanyuan, being young and impetuous was not a crime!
The real reason was that he wanted to take in a disciple!
He had some understanding of this young man. He had a very strange experience and a very shocking battle record. This made him see a trace of something unusual. It made him, who had never taken in a disciple before, feel a trace of impulse.
In Xuanyuan, the master chose the disciple, and the disciple also chose the master. This was a two-way process. Of course, the master's opinion was more important!
With a master, not only would one have a teacher that could be consulted at any time, it was also equivalent to having a mountain of resources. The little amount of resources for a Foundation building cultivator was nothing in the eyes of a Jin Dan. It was precisely because of this that the Jin Dan and Yuanying in Xuanyuan had very high standards when it came to choosing a disciple. They were not interested in wasting precious resources on a mediocre person.
Gu Lin left this guide in hopes that the young man would come to him. After spending more time together, some things could be expressed naturally. There was no need to say it directly. If it did not work out, everyone would feel awkward.
However, this young man did not come. Ten days had already passed. He must have already studied the mission jade slip. It was impossible that he did not consider the itinerary. The reason why he did not come was that he had thought it through, or someone had told him!
Taking in a disciple was also a matter of fate! It was just like looking for a Dao companion. What you wanted, he would not come. What came was not what you wanted …
Gu Lin sighed and gave up on this idea. His luck was terrible when it came to Dao companions and disciples. There was nothing he could do.
