After thinking and sorting it out quietly, Xing Nan gradually calmed down.
After noon, he opened his eyes again, took some pills for himself, and then a high-grade spiritual sword appeared on his knees.
He silently operated his skills, and his palm, wrapped in sword energy, gently stroked the sword weapon.
His energy and spirit had reached peak state, and he decided to complete the improvement of his strength first.
Gradually, the whole body of this high-grade sword began to flow with a cold light like water waves.
call!
A strong wind suddenly arose, and a rhinoceros-like sword spirit suddenly emerged from the sword. It rushed towards Xing Nan in the next moment, and then disappeared.
Xing Nan's body trembled, and the technique of the Sword Devouring Technique sped up.
…
For three days in a row, Xing Nan did not go to any lectures and kept practicing in seclusion in his room in Shilou.
Occasionally he would come out to open the door for Duan Rui, which had little impact on his practice.
In three days, Xing Nan devoured all the sword spirits of sixteen high-grade spiritual swords, and his cultivation reached the advanced stage of the Sword Devouring Art.
Under the premise that his realm far exceeds his skill level, there is no danger at all for him to make this large-scale advancement in skill.
If it were not for the advanced level of sword intent in the Sword Devouring Technique, and Xing Nan needed to understand a sword intent, he could even directly devour a top-grade spiritual sword, and his sword spirit cultivation would continue to improve a lot.
The students at Shenglong Academy usually practice under the guidance of their instructors, because the instructors understand their cultivation techniques and can help them in many ways. However, Xing Nan's practice of the Sword Devouring Technique cannot be taught by the instructors.
The instructor's teaching and guidance can only play a supporting role and cannot play a leading role.
To practice the Sword Devouring Technique, Xing Nan still has to explore it himself.
In the eyes of ordinary sword cultivators, understanding a kind of sword intent is a must to become a strong sword cultivator, but many sword cultivators find it difficult to understand a sword intent that suits them.
Instructor Fei once said during his lecture that in order to realize a sword intention that is suitable for oneself, one must first be able to enter the state of unity between nature and man. However, it is difficult for monks below the king level to enter the state of unity between nature and man.
Before the union of heaven and man, there is still a subtle state.
For Xing Nan, the top priority is to first reach the subtle state of body and sword skills. He is in no rush to enter the level of sword intention.
The path of cultivation also pays attention to step by step. If you try to force a breakthrough in skill without laying a solid foundation, you will taste the bitter consequences sooner or later.
After all the sword spirits of the sixteen high-grade spiritual swords were devoured, Xing Nan meditated cross-legged for another hour. When his condition and aura returned to normal, he took out the jade slip obtained from the secret world.
His consciousness sank into it, and he soon found the mountain in the misty world.
The figure on the top of the mountain is still there, still holding the long sword and slashing into the void.
Sharp sword lights flew in all directions.
A circle of swords surrounded the mountain, seeming to completely freeze the space and releasing a heart-stopping dangerous aura.
call out!
A ray of sword light, like thunder splitting the sky, instantly passed through the layers of fog, carrying an extremely violent momentum, and cut straight into Xing Nan's consciousness.
Even before the sword light arrived, the breathtaking and sharp aura made Xing Nan's consciousness feel like a dead leaf in the strong wind, which would be ruthlessly crushed in the next moment.
Xing Nan's reaction was also extremely fast, allowing his spiritual consciousness to quickly withdraw from the jade slip.
"puff!"
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and the consciousness suffered a heavy blow, causing Qi and blood to surge throughout Xing Nan's body.
His face was pale and his body was shaking!
If it weren't for wanting to understand something, Xing Nan would really not want to use his spiritual consciousness to sink into the jade slips again and again. This is completely seeking sin, or self-abuse.
When the spiritual consciousness is attacked, it means that a branch of the soul is attacked. If you try to attack yourself with your soul, you will naturally have deeper and more real feelings. If you have more of these feelings, you will form an understanding.
Xing Nan knew that the jade slips were definitely not sealing any powerful person, nor were they sealing a powerful force. They were just the image of an invisible existence inside.
However, this image is not simple. It not only forms a world of mist, but also a figure who can release the power of the sword and create sword light.
Do more research and sink your spiritual consciousness into the jade slip again and again, just like watching the attacks of a strong swordsman again and again... This attack is actually invisible, and there is no pure sword energy to support it.
But it can be sustained, so this attack can only be an artistic conception attack, that is, a sword cultivator's sword intent attack.
Xing Nan felt that the sword intent in the jade slip would sooner or later be absorbed by his soul, which was attacked again and again.
…
In the blink of an eye, Princess Yun Shang has been in the Houshan Fire Pond for three days. It may be because they were separated not long ago, or it may be that Xing Nan has been concentrating on cultivation in the past three days, and he does not miss Princess Yun Shang too much.
That night, Lehua suddenly sent a message, asking Xing Nan to go to Yuji Casino quickly.
Wanxu fruit appears in the underground black market of Yuji Casino!
After receiving the news, Xing Nan naturally did not hesitate at all. He quickly left Shenglong Academy and stopped a carriage at the door.
"Please hurry up, it's urgent!" Xing Nan told the driver in front of him.
"Okay!" the coachman responded.
The speed of the carriage was indeed not slow, but because the distance was too far, Xing Nan estimated that he would not be able to reach Yuji Casino. The Wanxu Fruit must already have an owner, but he just didn't know if Lehua could take a photo of it.
The carriage had just gone halfway when Leroy came over with a message.
"It's broken, Xing Nan, I didn't take the photo of the Wan Xu Guo!"
"Brother Le, what's going on? You have 400,000 Xuan Crystals, which should be enough!"
"Yu Wenhe must have done something bad. She used 450,000 Xuanjing to swat away the Ten Thousand Beard Fruit!"
"Is she gone?"
"not yet."
"Tell her I'll be there soon."
"Um."
…
Xing Nan could guess that Yu Wenhe was deliberately making things difficult for him, but with Wanxuguo in Yu Wenhe's hands, things weren't that bad.
That Yu Wenhe just wanted to earn some Xuan Jing from himself.
The carriage quickly arrived at the entrance of Yuji Casino. After paying the fare, Xing Nan quickly rushed into Yuji Casino.
"Xing Nan!"
Lehua was waiting in the lobby on the first floor. He came up to her and said, "Yu Wenhe has left. I can't keep her."
"Gone? Where did you go?" Xing Nan frowned.
"When she left, she said she was going to the arena. You can go to the arena to find her," Lehua said.
"Where is the arena, take me there!" Xing Nan said.
Lehua did not hesitate, and immediately took Xing Nan out of Yuji Casino and walked quickly deeper into Fule Street.
After only a hundred breaths of time, Lehua stopped. He pointed to a huge building next to him and said, "This is the arena."
Xing Nan glanced at it intently, feeling shocked in his heart.
The building in front of us looks like a giant turtle, but it is more than a hundred feet high, and its height and width are no less than three hundred feet.
Even in a prosperous place like the Holy Dragon Imperial City, this arena is extremely grand in scale.
The most important thing is that it is not only huge, but its entire body seems to be made of colored glaze, and it glows with a dazzling light like a wave.
"Let's go in and take a look!"
After passing through a square at the entrance of the arena, Xing Nan and Lehua arrived at the entrance of the arena.
At the entrance of the arena, there is a stone sculpture. The stone sculpture shows two people fighting. A sharp sword pierced the chest of one person, and the fist of the person stabbed by the sword smashed the face of the other person into deformation.
The gate of the arena was equally impressive, but Xing Nan had no intention of watching. He and Lehua walked directly into the gate of the arena. There were two rows of experts watching at the door, but they did not stop Xing Nan and Lehua.
He didn't stop other guests either.
The arena is open to all comers.
Beyond the gate, there was a rather large hall with bright lights and luxurious decorations. Lehua must have been here before. He pulled Xing Nan to a long counter and said to a beautiful lady behind the counter: "
Give us two numbers, we want to go in and watch the gladiatorial fight."
"You two gentlemen, how long do you want to wait for seats?" The beautiful Zhike asked politely and respectfully with a sweet smile.
"Uh..." Lehua looked at Xing Nan.
"Miss Yu Wenhe just arrived. We were invited by her. Wherever she sits, we both have to sit there." Xing Nan said calmly.
"Haha, of course Miss He'er is in the VIP seat, so why don't we give you two a VIP box?" said the Zhike beauty.
"Okay." Xing Nan nodded, "Stay closer to Miss He'er."
The beautiful lady Zhike worked very quickly. After a moment, she took out a sign that looked like it was carved from jade and said: "There is a VIP box, fifty pieces of top-quality spiritual stones, and you two can order some tea and snacks on it."
After Xing Nan paid the spirit stone, he took the jade sign and left the counter.
"This way."
Lehua continued to lead the way.
After passing through a long corridor, we arrived in front of a stone door that looked extremely thick.
There were two seemingly middle-aged monks in front of the door. When they saw the jade plaque in Xing Nan's hand, they immediately squeezed out a smile on their indifferent faces and opened the stone door.
"kill him!"
"Get out of the way!"
"Good fight, haha!"
"Alas! I can't even dodge such a simple attack!"
Just after crossing the stone gate, Xing Nan heard bursts of noise.
What you see is a circular venue, which looks similar to the competition arena in the martial arts area of Shenglong Academy.
In the center of the field, there is a stone platform about two feet high.
The stone platform is about a hundred feet long and horizontal, and is shrouded in a circle of transparent light.
In the stone platform, two monks were fighting fiercely.
And around them, there are layers of stands, with countless people sitting in them, all looking at the ring nervously, and occasionally shouting.
The grandstand is divided into five floors, with each floor higher than the previous. The higher the viewing floor, the smaller the space.
There are some private rooms on the upper two floors, and those private rooms are just small areas separated by some transparent screens.
The layout inside the private room is actually simple, with only a table a few feet long and a few chairs.
From time to time, sounds would come from the private room. It is estimated that the transparent screen not only does not block the sight, but also does not soundproof.
"Haha, sister He'er, you are going to lose this game again!"
While Xing Nan was looking for Yu Wenhe, he heard a burst of proud laughter.
