Chapter 36 The Heart Is Not Strong, How Can One Be Strong?
Soon, more than 300 people had drawn numbers.
Deacon Liu said nothing, put away the box, and returned to the highest sword discussion stage.
Zhang Huaixing nodded towards him, looked at the people below, and said.
"Okay, you guys should leave the sword discussion platform now."
After hearing this, many disciples on the sword discussion stage left the sword discussion stage one after another.
After everyone left, Zhang Huaixing continued.
"Whichever two numbers are drawn next will go on stage to compete. The competition adopts a points system. The winner will get 2 points and the loser will get 0 points. If there is no winner within three minutes, it will be a draw.
Score 1 point.”
Having said this, Zhang Huaixing paused and then said.
"After everyone has competed for ten rounds, only the top two disciples in the group can participate in the finals of the Sword Discussion Conference."
Having said this, Zhang Huaixing waved his hand.
The five outer sect deacons behind him understood, each picked up a small box, and headed to the five small sword discussion platforms below.
When they arrived at the Small Sword Forum, the deacons from the outer sect didn't waste any time and started drawing numbers directly.
"A 16 versus A 38."
"B 6 versus B 29."
When the deacons were drawing numbers on the stage, the audience was naturally not at peace.
Chen Haoxuan looked at Chen Xinzhu with wide eyes and said in disbelief.
"Senior Brother Chen, has your cultivation level broken through to the twelfth level of the inner energy realm?"
If Chen Xinzhu hadn't used Qinggong to expose his cultivation when he came on stage, they wouldn't have known that Chen Xinzhu had reached the twelfth level of the inner Qi realm.
Not only him, but others including Tang Xiujie were also like this. They couldn't believe it and had mixed feelings in their hearts.
As disciples of the Huashan Sect at the same time, most of them were still at the eighth level of the Inner Qi Realm, but Chen Xinzhu had reached the twelfth level of the Inner Qi Realm.
This gap is too big.
You know, cultivation becomes more and more difficult the further you go, it would take them who knows how many years to reach the twelfth level of inner energy realm.
It is not even known whether one can practice to the twelfth level of the inner Qi realm.
Wang Su murmured: "I find that the longer time passes, the wider the gap between us and Senior Brother Chen."
Tang Xiujie's expression also changed a bit. He sighed softly, looked at Chen Xinzhu, and said.
"In vain, I thought the gap between us had become smaller, but I didn't expect that I would also be a frog in the well."
Chen Xinzhu's expression remained unchanged and he said calmly.
“The frog at the bottom of the well is nothing. As long as you jump out of the well, you will naturally see the world.
Do you still remember what Uncle He once said?
'Huashan disciples, not only must dare to think, but also dare to do, and even more dare to fight!'
Don't be afraid, don't be discouraged.
Even if my talent is better than yours, I am just one step ahead in my cultivation.
As long as you can maintain your sharpness as swordsmen, your cultivation will not stagnate, and it is not impossible to become a world master in the future."
Having said this, Chen Xinzhu's face turned serious and he looked at everyone and said.
"As a friend, I can only give you one piece of advice.
The world is big, but the heart is even bigger! Mind is very important on the path of spiritual practice. Our biggest enemy is not others, but our own heart.
Many people's cultivation is stagnant. They are not trapped by so-called bottlenecks, but by their own hearts. If their hearts are not strong, how can people be strong?
Don’t be defeated by your own heart.”
People who have not experienced all kinds of chicken soup baptisms and don't have much experience in the world, when they hear these words, they just feel a fire igniting in their hearts.
It makes their blood boil!
Although this fire may be extinguished in the next moment, it may also become a prairie fire, burning stronger and stronger.
The more it burns, the more prosperous it becomes!
…
"C 14 versus C 62."
"Ding 2 vs. Ding 11."
"E-36 versus E-58."
Time will not stop because of a certain person. The butler on the stage quickly drew the number for the first battle.
Upon hearing this, the disciples whose numbers were drawn rushed to the corresponding sword discussion stage and started fighting with their opponents.
Five small sword discussion stages, with two people on each stage, a total of ten people started the first competition.
Soon, the clanging sound of long swords resounded throughout the sword discussion platform.
Among the ten people, only one has reached the realm of the twelfth level of inner energy, and most of them only have the cultivation level of the tenth level of inner energy.
Due to the gap in cultivation and swordsmanship, the three groups soon decided the winner.
The sword debate stage did not wait to determine the winner, but started drawing numbers again, and soon new disciples came on stage to compete.
In this way, one after another, the group matches of the Sword Discussion Conference slowly progressed.
Most of these ended in draws, and only a few were able to beat their opponents within three minutes.
However, once someone defeats his opponent, it will cause a lot of noise among the many outer disciples in the audience.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Tang Xiujie's number was drawn.
He took a deep breath, and his whole body exuded a fierce aura.
He looked at Chen Xinzhu and cupped his hands.
"Thank you for your teachings, senior brother. In the future, I, Tang Xiujie, will succeed in my cultivation. I will go and challenge my senior brother to repay my kindness."
When Chen Xinzhu heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
"Okay! Okay! I'm waiting for that day."
Tang Xiujie stopped talking and turned around and rushed onto the sword discussion stage.
There was a reason for Chen Xinzhu to be so happy. When he heard Tang Xiujie's words, he couldn't help but think of his previous life.
In his previous life, he also mentored many junior players. In order for Chen Xinzhu to see their growth, those players would do their best to challenge him on the court.
Although they were beaten by Chen Hsinchu in the end, seeing their growth, Chen Hsinchu would be happy for them from the bottom of his heart.
Of course, after being happy, in order to keep beating them, Chen Xinzhu will work harder, practice harder, and improve his strength.
In a sense, they are repaying the favor.
…
Tang Xiujie's opponents were both at the tenth level of inner energy cultivation just like him.
On the sword discussion stage, Tang Xiujie unsheathed his long sword and quickly attacked his opponent.
Bang!
Bang! Bang!
The two swords collided several times in an instant, and the disciple retreated continuously.
The swordsmanship used by Tang Xiujie is the Thirteen Qingfeng Styles of the Hinayana realm.
The aura follows each move, making it extremely powerful.
Although his opponent's Baiyun Sword Technique has been practiced to perfection, there is a huge gap between third-rate sword technique and second-rate sword technique!
In addition, Tang Xiujie is now extremely powerful.
After only a few moves, Tang Xiujie gained the upper hand, leaving his opponent unable to fight back.
Soon, the battle ended, and Tang Xiujie won easily, accumulating 2 points.
Some of the outer disciples who saw the fight were also impressed by Tang Xiujie's momentum and cheered one after another.
After getting off the sword discussion stage, Chen Haoxuan and others also congratulated him.
"Senior Brother Tang, congratulations on your first victory."
"Senior Brother Tang, congratulations."
"..."
Tang Xiujie himself was not dazzled by the easy first victory and said calmly.
"This is just the beginning, the real battle is yet to come."
