"Elder Yu, disciple Li Yutang is willing to join Lingwu Peak!"
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
After Yu Jing showed off the ethereal and elegant swordsmanship of Lingwu Peak, three disciples immediately expressed their desire to join Lingwu Peak. Counting Ding Xue, whom Yu Jing had invited before, nearly half of the disciples had joined.
In Lingwu Peak.
Yu Jing smiled and nodded, feeling very satisfied.
Among the disciples who passed the academy examination in previous years, the number of disciples who chose to join Lingwu Peak was always the largest, and it seems that it is the same this year.
After all, what sword cultivator wouldn’t like the cool and graceful swordsmanship?
She wrote down the names of the disciples who spoke one by one, preparing to register them into the list of new disciples entering Lingwu Peak later.
At this time, the last of the three elders, Yang Yu, the elder of Zhentian Peak who seemed to be in his prime, came out.
"Disciples," Yang Yu's voice sounded very clean, without any impurities, "Zhentian Peak, as one of the three main peaks, has some differences in swordsmanship from the other two main peaks. What Zhentian Peak values is not swordsmanship, but swordsmanship.
It’s the Spirit Sword itself.”
The spirit sword itself?
Su Xing raised his eyebrows, said something interesting in his heart, and pricked up his ears.
"As we all know, the reason why the spirit sword is named after 'spirit' is precisely because there is spirit in the sword. When each spirit sword is forged, it has been infused with soul. Zhentianfeng calls the soul of the sword the sword soul.
.”
As Yang Yu spoke, he pulled out the spiritual sword from his waist. It was a long black sword. Its appearance and color looked very ordinary, far less special than the swords of Lu Sheng and Yu Jing just now.
But what surprised people was that Yang Yu did not hold the sword in his hand. The hilt of the black sword was pressed straight against the palm of Yang Yu's hand, and then they saw him raise it upwards, and the long black sword suddenly
Flying into the air.
What was beyond people's expectation was that the long black sword did not fall to the ground quickly like a stone thrown into the sky, but stood quietly in the air, hanging in front of everyone.
At this time, people noticed that there was a luminous ball suspended in the palm of Yang Yu's other hand. The luminous ball looked like it was composed of a kind of gas. The surface of the light ball was connected to the black sword.
Weird threads.
Yang Yu stretched out the hand holding the ball of light, "This is the sword soul of my spiritual sword, and the power that makes this long sword stand is not the power of my vitality, but the power of the sword soul."
The power of the sword soul?
The disciples who had never heard of the existence of sword souls looked confused, as if they had not yet understood what Yang Yu was talking about.
Sure enough, compared to Baidu Peak and Lingwu Peak, the things they explained at Tianzhen Peak were too mysterious and difficult to understand. Yang Yu smiled helplessly, thinking that he had to let his disciples see his skills.
He immediately gave up the idea of continuing to explain what the sword soul was, and slowly clenched the hand holding the ball of light, holding the ball of light as big as a fist in his hand.
Then, one by one, the disciples were astonished to see that the black sword that was originally hanging in front of everyone suddenly flew high and shot straight into the sky in the blink of an eye.
Then, a black shadow rushed out of the white clouds, and the black sword penetrated the clouds and flew back and forth above everyone's heads.
The black sword is extremely fast, and can often fly several feet away in the blink of an eye, and judging from the flying momentum of the black sword, the power on the sword should also be very powerful.
Now people probably understood what Yang Yu said about the power of the sword soul. Maybe it was a way to control the sword, allowing swordsmen to use the spiritual sword without touching it.
"Whoosh."
After the black long sword turned several times in the sky, it suddenly fell back to Yang Yu's hand, and the light ball in the other palm also dissipated.
"The power of the sword soul not only allows us to control the spirit sword at will, but also exerts the power contained in the spirit sword itself and uses this power to do many things. The origin of the name of Zhentian Peak is precisely because of us
The first generation peak master of the mountain gate once used the power of the sword soul of his spiritual sword to seal off the entire sky."
Blocked the entire sky?
The image of an elder in blue holding a sword to seal the sky suddenly appeared in the minds of the disciples, full of majestic and epic atmosphere.
However, just when a disciple opened his mouth to join Zhentian Peak, Yang Yu's next words poured cold water on the newly excited crowd.
"Although the power of the sword soul is extremely powerful, it is extremely difficult to cultivate. It is a task that consumes both energy and time. And... whether you can successfully awaken the sword soul in the spirit sword depends on the consciousness in your brain.
"
Although the disciples could not understand what Yang Yu meant by "consciousness", they could hear the dissuasive meaning in the other party's words.
It takes time and effort, but it may not be rewarded. This is what people hear.
"Forget it, let me go to Lingwu Peak."
"Yes, maybe Baidu Peak is more suitable for me."
Several disciples who were originally planning to join Tianzhen Peak suddenly backed down and instead expressed their desire to join other peaks.
Seeing this scene, Yang Yu smiled helplessly again.
The reason why his Zhentian Peak has been receiving fewer and fewer disciples is because the power of their sword soul is too difficult to cultivate, and it is difficult for ordinary disciples to awaken the power of their own spiritual swords.
This is why he told everyone about the shortcomings of this method from the very beginning, so as not to waste the precious time of these good seedlings.
but……
He looked slightly sideways at Su Xing, who had a thoughtful expression, and his eyes gradually became excited.
But...if the cultivator cultivates wood energy and possesses powerful spiritual consciousness, then awakening the sword soul becomes as simple as eating and drinking.
In other words, the sword soul has an inescapable relationship with the profession in the world called spiritual formation master.
This is why Yang Yu has been looking at him with admiration and passion since he saw Su Xing displaying the spiritual formation during the final selection.
As a martial arts disciple of the wood type and as a spiritual formation master, what he lacks in Tianzhen Peak is this kind of talent!
At this time, Su Xing, who was standing behind him, also fell into deep thought after watching Yang Yu demonstrate the power of the sword soul.
He had clearly seen before that Yang Yu used the wood element energy when summoning the sword soul from the spirit sword. Could it be that... there is some subtle connection between the power of the sword soul and the wood element energy?
And it was precisely because of this that Jiang Lingyan asked him to join Tianzhen Peak?
However, although the number of wood-type warriors is not large, and they are not a minority in Linzhou, why Jiang Lingyan chose to bring him to the Wanjian Sect after traveling down the mountain for a month is also a mystery.
While Su Xing was thinking, Yang Yu had already returned to the queue. Lu Sheng took another step forward to the disciples and said loudly:
"Disciples, after our demonstration just now, you should have some understanding of the three peaks. The three of us will give you half a quarter of an hour. After you think about it, come and report in front of us."
After the words were said, the ten disciples and their fellow Taoists gathered together and discussed the pros and cons of the three main peaks.
"Lingwu Peak is the most elegant, and the swordsmanship is ethereal and handsome. It is in line with the swordsmanship I have always wanted to learn."
In the queue at Xuanguang Taoist Temple, Guan Yan'er and Fang Xueyu were talking to each other.
After hearing what Fang Xueyu said, Guan Yan'er frowned and thought for a while, "Then I'll go to Lingwu Peak too."
After saying that, she looked back at Su Xing in the distance, and turned back after realizing that the other person had been lowering his head and thinking about something.
"Xinghe, which mountain gate are you going to?" Zhang Chengtian asked Song Xinghe in the group at Shenji Taoist Temple.
"Baitou Peak, the swordsmanship at Lingwu Peak always gives me a girly feeling, which is not suitable for me. What about you?"
"I..." Zhang Chengtian paused, "Both Zhentian Peak and Lingwu Peak look good, I'm still considering them."
"Chengtian, didn't you hear the elder from Zhentian Peak say that practicing the power of the sword soul is time-consuming and labor-intensive? Maybe in a few years we will all be out of the army, and you are still talking to the spirit sword!" Li Yutang interrupted!
road.
"Well... then in that case, I will go to Baidu Peak like Xinghe. What about you, Li Yutang?"
"Me?" Li Yutang was stunned for a moment, looking sideways at the figure of Yu Jing in white, his eyes became hot, "I'm going to Lingwu Peak."
…
"Junior Brother Su, have you decided where to go?" Han An patted Su Xing on the shoulder and asked.
Hearing Han An's question, Su Xing woke up from his thoughts and smiled blankly: "I haven't made a decision yet."
"Then why don't you join us at Baidu Peak?"
At this moment, a majestic old voice fell into the ears of the two of them. Han An and Su Xing both turned around and saw three inner sect elders walking towards them.
