Chapter 34 The Way of Inheriting the Secret Learning
Speaking of the superior martial arts of the Huashan School, Chen Xinzhu quickly thought of "Three Immortal Swords of Death".
Further up, there is the world-famous swordsmanship "Dugu Nine Swords".
Thinking of Dugu Nine Swords, Chen Xinzhu couldn't help but ask.
"Uncle Master, how can I learn the Dugu Nine Swords?"
He Jinghuan was slightly startled when he heard this.
After reacting, he chuckled and said.
"We just talked about superior swordsmanship, and you are already thinking about Dugu Nine Swords?
This kind of unique skill is not something you can just learn if you want to.
All the major sects in the world are very careful about the inheritance of their secret knowledge!"
At this point, He Jinghuan paused and then said.
“The power of unique knowledge is far beyond the imagination of the world.
Because of this, once what is spread is not human, it will cause turmoil in the world.
Therefore, for the inheritance of unique skills, each sect must go through a long period of inspection before selecting a successor."
Speaking of this, He Jinghuan glanced at Chen Xinzhu and continued.
"If you want to pass on the Dugu Nine Swords, you need to meet two conditions.
First, the training threshold for Dugu Nine Swords is extremely high and requires unparalleled swordsmanship talent.
At this point, it seems to me that you are already satisfied.
Secondly, it was recognized by the great uncle of the head master.
This is not so easy.
In the past few decades, there have been many Huashan disciples with amazing talents, but few of them have been recognized by the master's uncle.
Therefore, for you, superior martial arts is more practical."
Speaking of this, a light flashed in He Jinghuan's eyes.
Then he said: "Your Flying Eagle Sword Technique has been practiced to perfection. According to our Huashan rules, you can choose a superior sword technique.
If you can still win the position of leader of the Sword Discussion Conference and choose a superior martial arts, I suggest you choose a superior Qing Gong.
An excellent swordsmanship combined with an excellent Qinggong is enough for you to conquer the acquired realm."
After hearing what He Jinghuan said, Chen Xinzhu was not discouraged.
I had already guessed that the secret knowledge would not be easily passed on.
Then let’s start with superior martial arts.
It just so happens that I have been coveting "Three Deadly Swords" for a long time, so I can choose it this time.
By the way, when does the sword discussion conference start?
Thinking of this, Chen Xinzhu quickly looked at He Jinghuan and asked.
"Uncle Master, when will the sword discussion conference start?"
He Jinghuan said calmly: "Don't worry, there are still seven days, enough for you to go back."
Chen Xinzhu nodded after hearing this.
After that, Chen Xinzhu chatted with He Jinghuan about some political affairs. It was not until an hour later that Chen Xinzhu said goodbye and left.
He Jinghuan looked at Chen Xinzhu's retreating back and sighed softly.
"Such talent is enough to rank among the top ten in Huashan history."
"However, he is still a little inferior to that person."
…
Huashan Outer Gate.
In a small courtyard, a dozen Huashan outer sect disciples were sitting there drinking and chatting.
"Senior Brother Yang, you have gone out and practiced for three years. I'm afraid you have become stronger again, right?"
When the young man in white sitting at the top heard this, he chuckled and spoke.
"After three years, I finally gained something."
When other people heard this, they all praised him.
"Senior Brother Yang is indeed one of the three geniuses of our Huashan Outer Sect. I'm afraid it won't be long before he can break into the Houtian Realm."
"Several of the top ten people in the last sword discussion conference were promoted to the inner sect. Now in the outer sect, senior brother Yang has the highest ranking."
"As expected, the leader of this sword discussion conference is none other than Senior Brother Yang."
"Yes, yes. If you win the first place in the Sword Discussion Conference, you will be able to pass on superior martial arts in advance. When the time comes, you will be the best among them if you break through to the Houtian realm."
Yang Jianzhang saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, and his heart was filled with pride.
He ranked third in the last sword debate competition and was unable to qualify for superior martial arts.
Unwilling to do so again, he deliberately suppressed his cultivation and did not break through. He spent three years focusing on swordsmanship.
Yang Jianzhang has finally made a further step in the realm of swordsmanship. Now that his strength has greatly increased, it can be said that Yang Jianzhang is full of confidence in winning the position of leader.
But being confident doesn't mean he will look down on his opponents.
Yang Jianzhang said: "There are still a few people in the outer sect who are very capable and should not be underestimated."
When others heard this, they nodded in agreement.
Disciples who can enter the outer sect of Huashan are regarded as geniuses throughout Qinzhou, and there are many geniuses among geniuses.
Therefore, although they have confidence in Yang Jianzhang, they will not underestimate others because of it.
"Indeed, there are thirty or forty disciples in the entire outer sect who have reached the peak of third-rate swordsmanship. Several of them have understood the true meaning of second-rate swordsmanship, and their strength cannot be underestimated."
"Su Wei, for example, ranked fifth in the Sword Discussion Conference last year. If he makes some progress in the past three years, he may also pose a considerable threat to Senior Brother Yang."
"And Li Qi, we can't underestimate him either. I heard that he had an unexpected encounter this time when he went out to practice, and his swordsmanship has improved by leaps and bounds."
Yang Jianzhang heard everyone's words clearly.
Although Su Wei is very capable, he was defeated by him last year, so Yang Jianzhang didn't care much.
It was Li Qi who interested him a bit. There were rumors that Li Qi once fought a second-rate master with hundreds of moves and never fell behind.
If the rumors are true, then Li Qi may have mastered his second-rate swordsmanship to a great level, making him the biggest opponent in this swordsmanship conference.
However, defeating such an opponent and winning the position of leader would make the three extra years of waiting worthwhile.
Yang Jianzhang’s fighting spirit is high!
…
Weinan County, above the official road.
A young man in his twenties, riding a tall black horse, rushed towards Huashan at high speed.
The young man is wearing a white outfit with a blue belt tied around his waist. His long hair is like ink scattered on the white clothes, and his eyes are like ancient pools. He is really majestic and calm.
Xue Jiang, a young man in white clothes, looked up at the sky and murmured to himself.
"I, Xue Jiang, have waited for three and three years, and finally I have mastered the Flying Eagle Sword Technique to the level of Dacheng. I will definitely win the position of leader this time!"
…
A mountain range somewhere in Weinan County.
An old man in gray robes and a young man in white robes were walking among them as if taking a walk.
Wherever the two of them passed, the entire forest was in a state of chaos, with countless demons and wild beasts fleeing far away.
The old man in gray robe didn't care about this and said to the young man beside him.
"Xiao Ning, grandpa has been practicing with you for five years. Don't let grandpa down."
Zheng Ning, a young man in white clothes, didn't change his expression and replied calmly.
"Grandpa, you also know my strength. As long as I don't make mistakes, who in the outer sect of Huashan can be my opponent?"
Hearing this, the old man in gray robe nodded.
"In that case, Grandpa is waiting for your good news."
…
On the second day, Chen Xinzhu said goodbye to his family and returned to Huashan.
Arriving at the bulletin board not far from the Outer Affairs Pavilion, Chen Xinzhu quickly found the relevant content of the Sword Discussion Conference.
The Sword Discussion Conference is divided into a group stage and a final. The group stage is divided into five groups for competition.
The competition adopts a points system. A win is worth two points, a draw is worth one point, and a loss is zero points.
Before the competition begins, everyone can get a number. The rules of random drawing are adopted. The two people whose numbers are drawn will go on stage to compete to determine the winner.
After everyone has competed for ten rounds, the top two disciples in the group will be qualified to enter the finals to compete for the top spot.
After understanding the rules, Chen Xinzhu took a look at the Foreign Affairs Office.
We have all come here, and it makes no sense not to pay a visit to Uncle Zhang.
Thinking of this, Chen Xinzhu walked into the affairs hall and saw a familiar figure.
Before he could speak, Uncle Zhang looked at him and smiled.
"I thought you had to be like the others and leave after reading it."
Chen Xinzhu cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Uncle, I was joking. When a disciple comes back from training, he always wants to pay his respects to his uncle."
Zhang Huaixing did not reply, but looked at him carefully.
He stood up and walked around him, looking thoughtful.
Chen Xinzhu was a little confused, but he didn't show it on his face and said calmly: "Uncle Master? Is there something wrong with my disciple?"
Hearing this, Zhang Huaixing nodded repeatedly and said seriously: "You are indeed very wrong."
???
Chen Xinzhu was full of doubts and said nothing, waiting for Zhang Huaixing's next words.
Zhang Huaixing walked back to his seat and spoke directly without any hesitation.
"I remember that when you came down the mountain half a year ago, you had just broken through to the tenth level of the inner Qi realm, right? I didn't expect that after half a year, you would reach the 12th level of the inner Qi realm.
Moreover, judging from your Qi, I’m afraid it won’t be long before you can break into the acquired realm.”
Having said this, Zhang Huaixing paused, shook his head, and continued.
"Why are the same people so different? It's really shocking. Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore."
Zhang Huaixing paused, looked at Chen Xinzhu and said.
"Take out your demon-slaying order and let me take a look at your demon-slaying results in the past six months."
After hearing Zhang Huaixing's words, Chen Xinzhu quickly took out the Demon Slaying Order and handed it over.
Zhang Huaixing took the demon-slaying order and looked at it. It looked like new.
Without saying anything, Zhang Huaixing took out a small white jade bottle from his arms and poured a drop of mysterious liquid onto the Demon Slaying Order.
Soon, two bright red numbers appeared on the silver demon-slaying order.
"1:37"
Looking at this scene, Zhang Huaixing was a little surprised.
"In just half a year, you killed 37 first-level monsters. Did you stay in the deep mountains and forests for half a year?"
Having said this, Zhang Huaixing was a little happy, looked at Chen Xinzhu and said.
"No wonder your cultivation has improved so quickly. With your temperament that can endure loneliness, you will definitely achieve great success in the future."
Before Chen Xinzhu could reply, Zhang Huaixing continued.
"Seeing that you slay demons so quickly, I will tell you about the rewards from our Huashan Party for slaying demons.
Killing 100 first-level monsters can teach you a second-rate martial arts;
Killing 10 second-level monsters will teach you a superior martial art;
Kill 5 level 3 demon generals to receive a unique skill.
This is also the main way for our Huashan sect to inherit martial arts. It is fair and just, and the rules are strict. This is true for everyone."
Killing 5 demon generals will give you a unique skill??
Hearing this, Chen Xinzhu was shocked and asked quickly.
"Master Zhang, I heard Master He say that the inheritance of unique skills requires the approval of the master. Isn't that true?"
