The Tianxia Sword Sect is divided into two palaces and three courtyards.
Only after practicing in the outer courtyard for many years and passing certain tests can the disciples of the outer courtyard be promoted to the disciples of the inner palace. Therefore, in terms of scale, the three outer courtyards cannot be compared with the two palaces of the sun and moon, but that is only the difference between the disciples.
decided.
But when it comes to the status of the higher-ups, the three masters in charge of the branch and the two masters of the Sun and Moon Palaces are brothers of the same sect. There is not much difference in strength and status among the five.
Therefore, when they heard that they had the opportunity to meet the master of the Sword Academy, Lin Che and the three of them felt a little excited.
Not only because of the respected status of the master of the academy, but also because this big shot, as the master of the kendo academy, must be a senior master with superb swordsmanship. As sword cultivators, Lin Che and the others naturally wanted to see him.
Style.
"Let's go."
After that, Elder Dao Ling led Lin Che and the others to leave the Demon Blood Heavenly Lake and headed to the core area of the Sword Academy.
The Kendo Academy is built in a mountain range, with lush greenery and pleasant scenery. In the core area, there is a strange peak called "Guanxia Mountain", which is the highest peak among the mountains. It is where the master of the Kendo Academy lives.
The paradise of heaven and earth.
At this time, Lin Che and others arrived near this mountain peak.
A red sun has risen from the horizon. From a distance, it seems to be supported by the highest peak, scattering thousands of rays of light. It is really a wonder on earth.
Not long after, Elder Dao Ling led Lin Che and the others to a bamboo forest on the mountainside. Elder Dao Ling was about to report.
But at this moment, the people in the forest seemed to have sensed it, and a vast and ethereal voice came: "No need to be polite, just come directly into the forest."
Elder Dao Ling was slightly startled, but then he did not dare to show any signs of neglect, and led Lin Che and the others into the bamboo forest.
In the bamboo forest, there is a stone table.
At this moment, the master of the Kendo Academy is sitting at the top. He is a thin old man with a strong kendo aura lingering around him, as if he is shrouded in a mist of stars. Although he is not tall in stature,
It's not very tall, but it gives people a sense of majesty.
In addition to the Master of the Kendo Academy, there are two old men in purple robes at the bottom, one tall and one short, both showing extraordinary aura.
In the Kendo Academy, only those who have reached the elder level are qualified to wear purple robes. Therefore, the identities of these two people are self-evident. They should be two of the thirteen elders of the Kendo Academy.
Elder Dao Ling said: "This is the master of our Sword Academy, and these two are Elder Ji and Elder Zhao in the academy. Why don't you hurry up and greet me?"
Hearing this, Lin Che and the others quickly bowed and said, "Disciples and others, please pay homage to the master of the academy and the two elders."
A warm smile appeared on the face of the kendo master. He glanced at the three of them and said, "I heard that the quality of this sect's enrollment assessment is much higher than that of previous ones, and there are several outstanding ones.
Young heroes, several of them have entered our Kendo Academy. Out of curiosity, they want to see it with their own eyes. That’s why I asked you to come here. There is no special purpose. You don’t need to be nervous. Sit down.
."
After the master of the kendo academy finished speaking, he pointed to a few stone benches next to him.
"Thank you, Master."
After hearing this, Lin Che and the other two people took their seats one after another.
At this time, the master of the Sword Academy paused for a moment on Lin Che and the others, nodded slightly, and then suddenly asked the two elders beside him: "As the elders of the Sword Academy, you naturally have extraordinary vision, so
From your perspective, how are these three disciples recruited by our academy?"
Hearing this, Elder Ji and Elder Zhao turned their attention to Lin Che and the others.
In an instant, Lin Che and others only felt two powerful forces of prying coming at them, directly seeing through their cultivation realms. From this, it can also be seen how powerful the cultivation realms of these two elders are. Just one
The gaze possesses such terrifying insight.
Elder Ji said directly: "The realm of swordsmanship and martial arts of these three people are not weak, but in comparison, Ji Changkong is obviously stronger than the other two disciples, and should be ranked as the number one new student in this session of the Kendo Academy.
one."
The Master of the Kendo Academy just asked the two elders to make a brief comment.
However, Elder Ji's tendency is very clear. Among the three disciples, he is the only one who shows a more appreciative attitude towards Ji Changkong.
Elder Ji finished speaking.
Elder Zhao on the side smiled and glanced at him, "Haha, this disciple named Ji Changkong comes from the Jigu family. If my information is correct, he should call you uncle. You will naturally treat him like an uncle."
He favors me very much...but doesn’t Elder Ji think that such a comment is really biased?"
"It turns out that Elder Ji is also from the Ji Gu family, and is Ji Changkong's uncle..." Lin Che's expression changed slightly after understanding this relationship.
Of course, the Ji family is an ancient swordsmanship family that has been passed down for thousands of years. Its background is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary families. It is not surprising that a strong member of the family serves as an elder in the swordsmanship academy.
matter.
Just when Lin Che had these thoughts.
Hearing Elder Zhao's rebuttal, Elder Ji frowned and said: "There is indeed some blood relationship between the clans between me and Ji Changkong, but as the saying goes, don't avoid enemies when doing things externally, and don't avoid relatives when doing things internally... Among these three people
, this disciple named Yue Fan has reached the second level of Zifu in martial arts, but his swordsmanship is slightly lower, and he has only reached the elementary level of Sword Domain... And this disciple named Lin Che, although his swordsmanship has reached the peak of Sword Domain
, but the martial arts cultivation level has not even reached the first level of Zifu."
"In comparison, Ji Changkong's martial arts cultivation has reached the fifth level of Zifu, and his swordsmanship realm has reached the primary level of 'Heart of Sword'. There are no flaws in any aspect. Isn't it more outstanding?"
Elder Zhao shook his head gently and said: "That being said, Elder Ji, you have overlooked one of the most important factors, which is age... Judging from the ages of these three disciples, the disciple named Lin Che
, he is no more than twenty years old, but he can reach such a point, and his potential is obviously better. How do you know that his future achievements will not exceed Ji Changkong?"
…
From the conversation between the two elders Ji and Zhao, it was not difficult to hear that there was a hint of tit-for-tat between the two, which made Lin Che feel a little weird. It seemed that within the Kendo Academy, the elders were not so harmonious.
However, Lin Che didn't care much about whether these two elders had any conflicts, but she captured a very key message from this conversation.
Lin Che suddenly stood up and said, "Um...excuse me."
In an instant, everyone in the venue looked at him, and even the argument between the two elders Ji and Zhao was interrupted.
Lin Che scratched her head and asked, "Disciple, I would like to ask you, what is the meaning of the elementary level of Sword Heart?"
"Well……"
As soon as Lin Che said this, everyone present showed quite strange expressions.
Elder Zhao glanced at him and said: "As a sword cultivator, you have reached the pinnacle of the sword domain. Don't you know the divisions of the sword realm?"
Lin Che hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Although I passed the sect's examination, I come from a small family power in Pingyang County. I don't have the conditions to practice at all, so I don't know if the sword is higher."
The division of levels.”
"That's it..." After hearing this explanation, the people present nodded, but didn't think much about it.
Immediately, Elder Zhao said: "Okay, today I will explain the divisions of the realm of swordsmanship to you, a junior..."
Later, under Elder Zhao's explanation, Lin Che finally understood the divisions of swordsmanship in this world.
It can be said that the realm of swordsmanship in the human world is not fundamentally different from that in the Tianwu Continent, but it is just divided into more details.
Due to the huge gap in scale between the two planes, the development of kendo civilization in the human world far exceeds that of the barren Tianwu Continent, so many new and higher-level kendo realms have been born.
In the human world, the realm of swordsmanship is divided into the power of the sword, the intention of the sword, the domain of the sword, and the heart of the sword... Each level of the realm is divided into three stages: primary, intermediate, and peak.
In terms of Lin Che's current level of swordsmanship, she has reached the pinnacle of the Sword Domain, and is only one step away from entering the primary level of the Sword Heart.
Understanding this, Lin Che, who had just entered the human world not long ago and was still extremely confused about the swordsmanship in this world, finally had a clearer goal.
This knowledge is not unimportant.
Lin Che clasped her fists at Elder Zhao and said gratefully: "Thank you, Elder, for clearing up this disciple's doubts..."
Elder Zhao smiled and said, "What I'm telling you is just some basic kendo knowledge. It won't provide much help to your kendo practice, so you don't need to pay too much attention."
Previously, Elder Zhao had an argument with Elder Ji and expressed his optimism about Lin Che, perhaps more because of past conflicts with Elder Ji.
But now that he saw Lin Che's humble attitude, even though he said so, he couldn't help but appreciate the young man a little more in his heart.
However, at this moment, Elder Ji, who was sitting nearby, glanced at Lin Che's figure and said calmly: "I don't even know the realm of swordsmanship and such basic knowledge. It seems that my family's poverty is doomed.
How can one achieve too high a level of achievement in the future if his knowledge is shallow?"
Elder Zhao immediately retorted: "It doesn't matter if your family is poor, just with this attitude of seeking knowledge, you can go further in the future..."
Lin Che's question had already interrupted the argument between the two elders.
But now it seems that the opinions between the two elders are not as deep as usual, and there is a tendency to start arguing about who is better, Lin Che or Ji Changkong, the two new disciples...
