Chapter 395: Practicing Swordsmanship
The second round of examination lasts for three days, so students must stay in the Holy Academy to comprehend the sword technique.
Only when the exam is over can you leave.
Time passed two days soon.
Xu Hai, with his hands on his back, looked cold and sharp, patrolled the examination room, and asked Nie Wenlong: "Which sword has Xu Canglan practiced to the end?"
Nie Wenlong looked solemn and said, "Report to Senior Brother, the Eighth Sword."
Xu Hai nodded with satisfaction and said, "Xu Canglan is the second master of the Xu Sheng family. He has a very high attainment in swordsmanship and has already reached the peak of swordsmanship. Seven days in advance, I got the tutor of the thirteen soul-chasing swords from my master and handed it to him. He did not disappoint me. The eighth sword is very good."
The person who presided over the second round of the Jiandao Department was Xu Hai's master and Ling Yuan's semi-saint.
The Thirteen Swords of Soul Chasing Swords are also the sword and martial arts created by Ling Yuan’s Half Saint seven days ago.
As a genius of the Xu Sheng family and a disciple of Ling Yuan's semi-saint, Xu Hai had obtained the mental formula of the Thirteen Swords of the Soul Chasing Thirteen Swords seven days ago, and passed it to Xu Canglan, the second genius of the Xu Sheng family.
Therefore, before the Holy Academy assessment, Xu Canglan had already comprehended the formula of the Heart Method seven days in advance, and had already studied the Thirteen Swords of Soul Chasing the Souls almost the same.
Now, you only need to practice sword moves and integrate sword moves and mental techniques to successfully practice this set of sword skills.
It took two days for Xu Canglan to practice the seven swords successfully and began to practice the eighth sword.
"There is still one day, Xu Canglan should be able to successfully practice the tenth sword. The sword heart pill is already in my pocket."
Thinking of this, Xu Hai's mouth couldn't help but have a curve.
The reason why he told Xu Canglan about the Thirteen Swords of the Soul Chasing Thirteen Swords in advance was of course that he hoped that Xu Canglan would win the first place in the second round of assessment and help him win the Sword Heart Pill.
Twenty years ago, Xu Hai had reached the peak of swords walking with his heart. His swordsmanship was getting deeper and deeper, but he could not condense the heart of swordsmanship.
Therefore, he must obtain the sword heart pill and impact the state of clear sword heart.
As long as tomorrow passes, Jianxin Dan will be his.
Nie Wenlong stared at Zhang Ruochen's direction and said, "Senior Brother Xu Hai, Zhang Ruochen is at the level of clear sword heart. The degree of practicing sword skills will definitely be very fast. He will probably become Xu Canglan's powerful opponent."
Xu Hai snorted coldly, showing a little disdainful expression, and said, "So no matter how high the realm is, it's only three days. He is just a mortal, not a saint, so how can he succeed in practicing sword skills so quickly? You haven't seen that he is still comprehending the mind method and hasn't started practicing swords yet?"
Practicing sword skills is divided into two parts: comprehend the mind method and practice sword moves.
The mind method includes the coordination of footwork, the operation of true qi, and the key points of sword technique.
Only by comprehending these three things can you start practicing sword moves.
The purpose of practicing sword moves is to integrate sword techniques, the martial artist's footwork, as well as the true qi in the martial artist's body.
The sword technique and the warrior form a whole, reaching the point of doing whatever you want.
When you take action, you don’t have to think about it at all, and you have already used the sword technique and killed people under the sword.
For example, Zhang Ruochen practiced a certain sword technique in his previous life. When he came to this life, he had to practice it again. Only by forming a whole with this body, reaching a state of ease, or even a clear state.
In other words, practicing sword techniques into a part of the body, such as hands, feet, eyes, and nose, can only achieve the state of being at will.
Only by practicing sword techniques to the point where the body and soul are integrated can one achieve the state of clear sword heart.
If you cannot achieve this, then what you practice will always be just a sword move, you can only be considered a reckless man and cannot become a swordsman.
Just as Xu Hai finished speaking, suddenly, Zhang Ruochen, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, began to practice sword moves.
Zhang Ruochen used his hand as a sword and pointed it out with one finger. Then seven hand shadows appeared, splitting like a scattered flower of a goddess, hitting the seven points in the void.
"Play!"
Seven consecutive sounds of exploding sounded, like the tip of the seven swords, which were pointed on the stone wall, making a sound.
"Senior Brother Xu Hai, Zhang Ruochen has already started practicing sword moves. He just used the first sword of the Thirteen Soul-Chasing Swords, 'Seven Kills of the Dead Soul'." Nie Wenlong said.
Xu Hai's face darkened, he immediately turned around and looked at Zhang Ruochen.
It was already the last day, and not only Zhang Ruochen, but also the other students stood up and began to practice sword moves.
After Zhang Ruochen used his first move, he sat cross-legged on the ground like a rock, motionless and did not continue to practice.
"I didn't expect that after reaching the state of clear sword heart, you only need to comprehend the formula of the heart method, and you can practice sword moves in your mind with the heart of sword intent, and you can also reach the state of great success."
Previously, Zhang Ruochen had been practicing the first move "Seven Kills of Dead Souls" in his mind. He tried it just now and it was really successful.
Zhang Ruochen continued to enjoy this mysterious state.
In the sea of Qi, the heart of the sword intent turned into a human form, and began to practice the second move "Breaking the Soul and Listening to the Wind".
In the distance, Nie Wenlong saw Zhang Ruochen motionless, frowned and said, "What's that guy doing? He only used one move and then didn't move again. There was only one last day left, and he still didn't start practicing sword moves?"
Xu Hai smiled coldly and said, "Don't worry about him. He probably was too self-righteous. He wanted to understand all the thirteen sword techniques and start practicing sword moves. Only then can he have no time left for him."
They did not achieve the clarity of the clarity of the clarity of the clarity of the clarity of the clarity of the clarity of the clarity of the clarity of the clarity of the clarity of the clarity of the clarity of the clarity of the clarity of the thirteen sword techniques, and now they are practicing the clarity of the clarity of the clarity of the clarity of the clarity of the clarity of the clarity of
In the other direction, Xu Canglan, who was from the Xu Sheng family, had successfully practiced the eighth sword and began to practice the ninth sword.
"Why is that student from the Xu Sheng family so powerful? He has successfully practiced the Eight Swords. He has such high talent?"
Duanju Star Spirit was very dissatisfied, with a pair of round starry eyes staring tightly at Xu Canglan's direction.
On the pilgrimage ladder, Duanju Star Spirit fought with Xu Canglan, but did not think that the other party was so powerful. At least, if she released her sealed cultivation, she could completely cross two realms and defeat Xu Canglan.
But now, she has mastered the Thirteen Swords of Soul Chasing, but she has successfully practiced the Seven Swords.
Could it be that a genius student of the Xu Sheng family has a higher understanding than her, the saint of the Demon Sect?
"There must be a problem. I don't believe that his understanding is really that high."
Duanju Xingling was very dissatisfied and continued to comprehend the sword technique with all his strength and strive for Yue Xu Canglan. If he had been passed by him, he would be too shameless.
Three days finally ended.
On this day, the chief examiner Ling Yuan, half-saint, arrived in person and sat at the top.
Next to Ling Yuan's half-saint, there was a jade lotus platform floating. Ling Shu half-saint, who was only three inches tall, sat cross-legged on the lotus platform.
She was wearing a red dress and carrying a sword on her back, and was invisible in a ball of white mist, like a goddess in the fairy world.
Although Lingshu half-saint is not very old, he is a disciple of the Master of Xuanji Academy. His status in the Holy Academy is still above Lingyuan half-saint.
Even Ling Yuan’s half-saint respects her very much and dare not neglect her.
All the students who applied for the kendo department took to the martial arts stage, doing their best to use their sword skills they had comprehended, and striving to show their best state.
If you can be regarded by the semi-saint and become the successor of the semi-saint, then you will reach the sky in one step.
The first student to take the stage to the martial arts are a young woman with her cultivation level in the early stage of the Tianji Realm.
"Seven Kills of Dead Souls."
"Breaking the soul and listening to the wind."
"Suppress the soul and stand on the shadow."
The woman tried to use the fourth move, but ended in failure.
However, successfully practicing the three sword techniques was already considered to be a barely qualified and passed the second round of the exam.
The second student who entered the Martial Arts stage had reached the smallest level of Tianji Realm. Among the students who participated in the Holy Academy assessment, they were also considered first-class strong people.
However, he failed and only barely practiced two sword techniques, and eventually could not enter the Holy Academy.
"He was able to cultivate to the small position of the Tianji Realm before he was thirty-five, and his talent was already considered very high. Unfortunately, his understanding in swordsmanship was very poor and he did not meet the enrollment requirements of the Holy Academy."
Many people feel sorry for him, and at the same time sigh that the threshold of the Holy Academy is too high, and even a top genius may be defeated.
In the next test, more than 70% of the students can practice at least three sword techniques and pass the exam.
Twenty percent of the students can only practice two sword techniques.
There are less than 10% of the students who can only practice one sword technique.
Among them, there are three or five people who cannot practice even a sword move.
However, even so, it can be seen that the quality of the students who came to participate in the Holy Academy assessment is indeed very high, and they are all elites selected from layers.
If those ordinary talented Tianji realm warriors can practice such profound sword skills as the Thirteen Swords of Soul Chasing Thirteen Swords, let alone three days, even if they are given thirty days, they may not be able to practice one of the sword techniques successfully.
Through practicing sword skills, you can also see the level of understanding of the students.
There were nearly a thousand students practicing swordsmanship in front of them, of which about 700 were able to practice three swordsmanship. There were about 80, and they could practice four swordsmanship. There were only ten, and they had practiced five swordsmanship.
None of them practiced the six sword techniques.
There is only one successor of the Saint Family who practiced seven sword techniques, which is already the best result.
"I actually practiced seven sword techniques. Unexpectedly, among those saints, there are geniuses with such high understanding." Duanju Star Spirit glanced at Huang Yanchen and said, "Sister Chen, how many swords have you successfully practiced?"
"Five Swords." Huang Yanchen said.
In terms of understanding, Huang Yanchen can only be considered to be at the top level, but not at the level that is against the will.
After comprehending the seven swords in three days, it is a level that is against the will of heaven. Even in the eyes of those semi-saints, it is a very remarkable achievement.
