The four university palaces are not considered to have a long history. They were all built after the Kingdom Era passed and the Zhenwu Era came.
However, each of the people who founded the Four University Palaces was a strong man in the True Martial Realm who came from the dark decade, and there was more than one person.
There are a total of seven founders of the True Sword Academy, and each of them is a famous True Martial Realm expert, or swordsman. Of course, they have all passed away now.
But from then on, the True Sword Academy left behind a tradition, or rule, with seven as the standard.
In Jianfeng Hall, all the new disciples are here, except for the preparatory disciples. In a sense, the preparatory disciples cannot be regarded as disciples of the True Sword Academy. Only those who break through and reach the strength training realm within one year can be classified as
Official disciple.
There are portraits on the three walls of Jianfeng Hall. There is only one portrait on the middle wall. There are three portraits on the left and right walls. They are clearly portraits of the seven founders of the True Sword Academy. I don’t know which master made it.
Lifelike and vivid.
Any new batch of formal disciples must pay homage to the portrait of the founder of the palace. This is a rule. They bow three times to show respect. Chen Zong bowed three times without any distractions. None of these seven people himself.
Although they know each other, it does not hinder their inner respect for them. This is respect for the ancestors and respect for the powerful swordsmen.
Chen Zong also knew the names of the seven founders of the palace.
"When the Four Academy Palaces were first established, they were only intended to cultivate the most elite warriors to better inherit martial arts and resist monsters."
The eyes of an elder from the True Sword Academy were shining brightly, as sharp as an unsheathed sword, and he swept across it quickly, making it difficult for people to look directly at him.
This is a swordsman.
Only those who practice swordsmanship can be called swordsmen when they reach the realm of true martial arts, while those who practice swordsmanship are called swordsmen. This is a relatively unique title.
When one's cultivation reaches the seventh level of the True Martial Realm, one is called a real person.
When one reaches the ninth level of the True Martial Realm, one is called a Master.
The seven powerful men who founded the True Sword Academy were a master and six true masters.
When the elders of the True Martial Realm speak, every word and every sentence is full of motivation, inspiring and high-spirited, but they are not hot-headed. For sword practitioners, lack of cool-headedness is a fatal injury.
"A month later, the new formal disciples will hold a Rising Star Competition to determine the seven rising stars. If you can break through to the strength training realm within a month, you will also be eligible to participate."
The following words were spoken to Chen Zong and several other formal disciples who were still in the Qi and Blood Realm.
"Rising Star Game!"
"Seven Rising Stars!"
Everyone's eyes suddenly shined.
Fighting is human nature, or the nature of life.
Only through struggle can progress be made.
Fame and fortune are also the pursuits of intelligent life.
Who doesn’t want to gain fame and fortune?
What's more, the seven rising stars in the Rising Star Competition are definitely not just names, and there will definitely be rewards.
After paying homage to the founder of the palace and listening to the instructions of the elders, the new disciples returned one after another.
Formal disciples are treated like formal disciples. First of all, they are given a ceremonial sword. It is not sharpened, but its hardness and toughness are astonishing, almost comparable to a precious iron sword.
In addition to the ceremonial sword, there is a sword robe, all off-white, with the same style. When wearing it, the whole person's temperament is different. At first glance, it makes people feel the sharpness of a sword.
Outside the sword robe is the sword order symbolizing status.
The fourth item is a low-grade Lianjin Pill. This is a pill suitable for martial artists in the Lianjin realm. It is considered a fatal poison for those in the Qi and Blood realm.
The real benefit of a formal disciple is that he can receive a low-grade Lianjin Pill for free every month. According to the market price, one Lianjin Pill would cost 50,000 white jade. In the True Sword Academy
If so, you must use Swordsmanship to redeem it.
The fifth benefit is to be able to enter the Jianwu Tower to choose a low-level earth-level technique and a low-level earth-level martial arts to practice.
The Palace of True Sword Academy is located in the north of Baishou Mountain. To the west is a bamboo forest. It is not an ordinary bamboo, but a green sword bamboo. It is green in color and has leaves like long swords, hence the name. The name of the bamboo forest is also called Sword Bamboo Forest. To the east is a bamboo forest.
The Bailong River, a branch of the Zanglong River, is one of the top ten branches among the hundreds of branches of the Zanglong River. To the south, there is a vast wilderness.
Zhenjian Academy occupies a large area, which is no worse than Fengwu City. As far as Chen Zong knows, the number of preparatory disciples is only less than two hundred, and the number of formal disciples is slightly higher, but
All added up, there are only more than 400 people. As for the disciples who control the palace, there are less than 200.
Such a large area, with less than a thousand people in total, looked very empty.
Each official disciple can live independently in a two-story small building. There is a wall outside the small building. It is very large and is completely a small private space.
In the courtyard, Chen Zong was wearing an off-white sword robe, holding a ceremonial sword, with sharp eyes, staring at a small patch of green sword bamboo that had just grown in the corner of the courtyard.
Suddenly, the sword was unsheathed, and the sword light was like a gust of wind, or like a bolt of lightning, piercing the air. The strong sword wind blew, and the whistling sound was endless.
Arriving at Zhenjian Academy, giving lectures at Jianfeng Hall, etc., Chen Zong felt a great change.
Everyone has an adaptability to the environment, especially when going from one place to another, or a completely unfamiliar place. Some people may need several days or even more than ten days to adapt, but some people can adapt faster in a day or two.
You will be able to adapt completely.
The True Sword Academy is a good place. Here, Chen Zong can see many things related to swords.
For example, on both sides of the road in the academy, there are many swords made of polished stones, and there are also many sword patterns on some buildings, which are simple and direct, revealing a trace of edge.
All in all, the True Sword Academy was filled with the aura of swords, and Chen Zong felt very comfortable.
He swung his sword casually, and after a while, his whole body gradually became warm. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Chen Zong felt that his sword skills were more smooth here.
"In one month, there will be the Rising Stars Competition, and I must participate."
Chen Zong said to himself.
Competing with peers is another purpose of entering the True Sword Academy. The Rising Star Competition is undoubtedly very suitable. Especially here, there are not only sword practicing warriors from the Jiwu main city, but also sword practicing warriors from the other four main cities.
.
Maybe his swordsmanship is good, but who can be sure that there is no one better than him?
Chen Zong is not afraid of those who are better than him or whose swordsmanship is better than his own. Only in this way will he be more motivated. He will continue to challenge all the way up and become stronger and stronger.
The sword itself represents sharpness and fearlessness.
If you are afraid, it is no longer a sword, it is worse than a burning stick.
"To participate in the Rising Star Competition, you must first integrate your spirit and will, and then refine your inner energy from the power of your qi, blood and body, and then officially become a martial artist in the training realm."
"Although I can feel that my spiritual will is being strengthened and harmonized every moment, but it is still a bit reluctant to achieve perfection within a month. After reaching perfection, it will take some time to be able to
Extract the inner strength.”
Calculating, it will take more than a month, but Chen Zong doesn't want to miss the Rising Stars Competition, because there is only one Rising Stars Competition.
Whether he is competing against other swordsmen or fighting for the title of one of the seven rising stars, Chen Zong wants to participate in this rising star competition.
"Is there any better way to speed up the tempering of spiritual will and make it reach perfection faster?"
Chen Zong couldn't help but think about it, and then recalled the feeling he had when he fought against the peak martial artist from the Bai family at Fulong Mountain. Under the strong pressure brought by the other party, his mental will was extremely concentrated and he won.
Compared to the past, in that situation, the potential seemed to be continuously stimulated, and the spiritual will seemed to be more condensed and further integrated.
"Going to challenge other True Sword Academy disciples?"
This may be a feasible method, but other consequences must be considered. Chen Zong is not the kind of person who is impulsive whenever he has an idea.
"Or should we find a level three monster to fight against?"
No matter which one it is, there are dangers. If you challenge the disciples of the True Sword Academy, you are likely to anger the other party, and you will be seriously injured even if you are not dead. If you find a third-level monster, it will be a life and death battle.
Suddenly, Chen Zong thought of the introduction booklet to the True Sword Academy that had been distributed before, and it seemed to mention a place that could temper one's spiritual will.
Refining the Intent Sword Picture!
What it is specifically, Chen Zong doesn’t know yet.
"Go and have a look first. If it doesn't work, then find a senior brother to challenge." Chen Zong took a deep breath, took the ceremonial sword and left the residence.
In the True Sword Academy, disciples can challenge and spar at will, but they can only use the ceremonial sword. The ceremonial sword does not have a sharp edge. The blade is rounder and the tip is rounder. Even if it hits the opponent, it will not cause as sharp a sword.
of injuries.
The place where the Intent Sword Diagram is located is called the Intention Hall, with a total of seven rooms.
"Senior brother, how can I view the Intent Sword Refining Picture?"
The person who manages the Lianyi Hall is a disciple of the True Sword Academy. This is a benefit given to the disciples by the True Sword Academy. It is a kind of task, and you can get corresponding rewards during the management period.
"Are you a new official disciple?" The other party did not answer directly, but asked: "What do you call me?"
"My name is Chen Zong." Chen Zong nodded.
"My surname is He, and my name is He Tielin. Junior Brother Chen can just call me Senior Brother He." This disciple had a good attitude: "There are seven rooms in Lianyi Hall, and each room has a picture of the Sword of Intention, which was created by the ancestors who opened the palace that day.
Stay, if you want to watch the Intention Sword Refining Picture, you need one hundred thousand white jade coins at a time."
"One hundred thousand!" Chen Zong was immediately surprised when he heard this. He originally thought that he was carrying more than four million white jade coins, which was a huge sum of money. But now it seems that it is nothing. "Senior Brother He, look at the picture of refining the sword."
Is there a time limit?”
"No, but it usually doesn't last long. A normal training state can last for about a quarter of an hour." He Tielin said: "There is still one room that is empty now. Do you want to go in?"
"Yes." Chen Zong took out a purple money ticket without hesitation and handed it to the other party.
"The seventh mind-refining room is empty, but you have to remember that once you feel that you can't support it, you have to look away from the sword diagram of the mind-refining sword. Otherwise, your spirit and will may be damaged, and the gain outweighs the loss." He Tielin gave advice.
"Thank you, Senior Brother He." Chen Zong was a little surprised. It was the first time they met. Senior Brother He had a very good attitude towards him. Could it be that there were other reasons for his behavior?
