Although Gu Pingchuan looked down upon Yun Hongzhuang's attack method, his method was actually the safest and most effective in this assessment.
Because the condition for passing the assessment is to take over ten of your own moves. Many people ignore this and use their strongest attacks to defeat themselves.
Gu Pingchuan took a long breath, then summoned his long sword, and flicked it towards Yun Hongzhuang. An invisible strong wind was about to hit Yun Hongzhuang's blade.
Yun Hongzhuang quickly stopped, and the blade that was originally lying horizontally in his hand immediately stood up and slashed down along the thinnest joint of Jingfeng.
call out!!!
A red light flashed in Yun Hongzhuang's hand, and the strong wind struck by Gu Pingchuan was split into two parts, followed by his ears and struck behind him, cutting off two strands of his hair.
The momentum of the two split gusts of wind continued unabated and hit the two straw men behind Yun Hongzhuang.
Bang bang!!!
The moment they came into contact, the two straw men exploded. Yun Hongzhuang swallowed. The strong wind that Gu Pingchuan chopped down at random had such power.
"Hahahaha! Not bad! You are the first person who knows how to observe!"
Gu Pingchuan did not hesitate to praise him. Yun Hongzhuang broke through his attack with the smallest strength. This kind of observation power is not something ordinary people can possess.
On the other hand, those who took the attack in front of them all wanted to catch the strong wind with brute force. In the end, their weapons were blown away by the strong wind that they had blown away, and they lost the ability to resist.
Yun Hongzhuang did not show any joy after being praised by Gu Pingchuan. Instead, he tightened his grip on the sword in his hand, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead unconsciously.
The first move!! This is just the first move!
Yun Hongzhuang kept warning himself in his heart, then slowly moved his steps, danced the sword again, and used the same move as before.
And his real purpose was not to attack Gu Pingchuan, but to force Gu Pingchuan to take action!
He knows very well what it takes to pass the test, and focusing on defense is the core of this battle.
In the following battle, Gu Pingchuan struck out the second strong wind one after another, the third... the eighth strong wind!
Yun Hongzhuang took the eighth move, and his arms began to tremble uncontrollably.
Gu Pingchuan has obviously suppressed his realm to the peak of the wandering spirit realm, but the strength he exerts is still much higher than that of people at the same realm.
"He, he took the eighth move!!"
"Damn it! Why didn't I think of that! Just defend!"
"That's right! If I had figured this out just now, I might have passed the test!"
Looking at the disciples who were beating their chests and stamping their feet before reacting, Lin Lang shook his head slightly.
If defense alone can catch Gu Pingchuan's ten moves, then what's the point of the assessment? Yun Hongzhuang just found a safe method.
And the fact that he was able to take so many moves from Gu Pingchuan was mainly due to his amazing observation skills. Even if Lin Lang turned on the transparency of the mirror, he could only vaguely see the weak points of Jing Feng. But Mr. Yun Hongzhuang
It can find the weak points of the strong wind, and hit them with great precision, and then break the strong wind.
To achieve this, the requirements are relatively high.
These are the true geniuses of the Eastern Region. Those few before were indeed not worthy of joining the Sun Yao Shrine.
After the eighth move, Gu Pingchuan chuckled.
"Not bad, not bad. He is worthy of being the nephew of Lord Yun. You have to be careful with the last two moves!"
As he spoke, Gu Pingchuan raised the long sword in his hand straight to his chest, slowly closed his eyes, and then lightly slashed into the void.
This slash was somewhat different from the previous slash, as the speed seemed to have slowed down a lot, and a milky-white sword energy that was only as thick as a chopstick gradually solidified in front of him.
What was struck this time was not strong wind, but sword energy, genuine sword energy!
A very strange scene formed at the scene. Gu Pingchuan had clearly swung his sword, but the sword energy in front of him did not move. It only swayed slightly, and the sound of the swords clashing was heard.
Lin Lang just stared at the sword energy, and seemed to see countless sword moves rushing toward him. He was so frightened that he quickly closed his eyes and extinguished the golden color in his pupils.
What a terrifying sword intent!!
Lin Lang's heart was shocked.
The swordsmanship he developed includes the Flame Sword Jue and Yingtian Slash. Both of them contain the way of sword energy. But the sword energy condensed is not even one thousandth or one ten thousandth of Gu Pingchuan's sword energy!
!
The biggest difference is the sword intent coming from above.
The level of swordsmanship is not determined by cultivation, but by sword intent.
The deeper a person's understanding of the way of the sword, the more powerful the sword will be! The more powerful the sword moves will be!
This Gu Pingchuan is obviously the kind of person who has practiced swordsmanship to the extreme.
"go!"
The sword energy in front of Gu Pingchuan finally moved, and like a flash of light, it struck Yun Hongzhuang.
Yun Hongzhuang's eyes widened and he clenched the sword in his hand. His eyes were constantly searching, but in an instant, the sword energy had already arrived in front of him.
He could only grit his teeth and sweep out the sword in his hand.
boom!!!
The sword energy struck the broadsword, sending it flying away. Yun Hongzhuang's arms shook violently, but Gu Pingchuan's sword energy was also broken.
"Take that, next step!!!"
“It’s really coming next!!”
Everyone exclaimed, the power of the sword energy just now was too terrifying, and everyone present did not dare to breathe.
I thought that Yun Hongzhuang would definitely lose, but I didn't expect that he would actually take it.
"You guessed it right."
Yun Hongzhuang grinned.
The speed of the sword energy just now was too fast, and there was no time to observe the weak points of the sword energy.
Yun Hongzhuang could only compare it to the strong wind just now, and swung the sword three inches below the center of the sword energy. Unexpectedly, he really guessed it!
Otherwise, I'm afraid not only his sword would be blown away, but his entire body would also be blown away.
"Don't be too quick to rejoice. There is one last resort. What are you going to do now that you have lost your weapon?"
Gu Pingchuan smiled slightly and easily drew another line of sword energy into the void. This time he did not wait any longer, but directly pushed the sword energy out.
"The last resort..."
Everyone present was sweating for Yun Hongzhuang. Will he be the first person to pass the examination?
Although he is already very strong, everyone does not think highly of him.
Because he has lost his weapon!!
Only Yun Baiwei's face was calm and calm. As the master of the palace, how could she not prepare some trump cards for her nephew?
The sharp sword energy came towards Yun Hongzhuang, but Yun Hongzhuang took out a palm-sized mirror from his savings ring without panic.
There are seven shining mysterious jade stones inlaid around the mirror. The surface of the mirror also looks very transparent, reflecting colorful divine light.
As soon as Yun Hongzhuang activated the mirror, the palm-sized mirror began to grow in size, and in the blink of an eye, Yun Hongzhuang's entire body was protected behind the mirror.
Bang!!!
The sword energy struck by Gu Pingchuan hit the mirror. There was no violent collision as expected, but with a crisp sound, the sword energy was directly deflected and refracted back in the direction of Gu Pingchuan!
"Seven-star mirror???!"
Gu Pingchuan's eyes suddenly opened wide, he stretched out a finger, and when he touched the sword energy, the sharp sword energy immediately turned into brilliance and dissipated.
"Master Yun, are you really willing to give up your own seven-star mirror to this kid?"
Gu Pingchuan shook his arm and said to Yun Baiwei.
Yun Baiwei just smiled softly and avoided the topic.
"Now Zhuang Er has passed the test, right?"
"Forget it! Of course it does!"
Gu Pingchuan nodded. The assessment did not stipulate that disciples cannot use magic weapons. Because the magic weapons themselves are part of their strength.
However, Yun Baiwei was willing to give all the top-grade seven-star mirrors to Yun Hongzhuang, which showed how much she valued her nephew.
The Seven-Star Mirror can reflect most of the spiritual energy attacks, and is the most restrained against sword energy. Among heaven-level magic weapons, it can be considered the best among the best.
Everyone looked at Yun Hongzhuang with envy. He was able to pass the examination of Sun Yao Shrine with his treasures.
But who wants others to have a good life and have a good aunt?
After Yun Hongzhuang came off the stage, Yun Baiwei patted him on the shoulder.
"Well done. Now I have an explanation for your mother."
A smile appeared on Yun Hongzhuang's face. His arms were still shaking uncontrollably, and he had not recovered from the attack just now. Upon seeing this, Yun Baiwei put her right hand on his arms,
Yun Hongzhuang's expression softened a little.
"Hmph. This Gu Pingchuan is really merciless... but his sword power is truly terrifying. If nothing else, he will be the next generation Lord of the Wind Sword Palace."
Yun Baiwei murmured to herself.
After Yun Hongzhuang passed the assessment, he undoubtedly stirred up waves among the crowd. The disciples who were originally a little shy rushed to take the assessment.
They all learned a lot smarter this time. Very few of them took the initiative to attack Gu Pingchuan. They all used their favorite defensive methods to resist Gu Pingchuan's sword moves or the strong wind.
Indeed, many people relied on this method to survive until the last two moves. But Gu Pingchuan's last two moves seemed to be fixed.
Just two sword energies.
If you can accept it, then you will pass and you can become a disciple of Sun Yao Shrine.
But everyone was defeated by the first sword energy.
No one can stop this invincible sword energy.
After more than a dozen people were eliminated one after another, one person finally passed the assessment successfully.
This person's realm is not high, he is only at the eighth level of the Wandering Spirit Realm, but his movement skills are extremely fast, and his body is as thin as a monkey. With his movement skills and speed that no one can understand, he narrowly avoided two swords.
Qi. Even Gu Pingchuan praised his body skills.
During the continuous assessment process, Lin Lang stared at the sword energy struck by Gu Pingchuan, thoughtfully.
At first, I didn't dare to open my eyes because of the fierce sword intent, but gradually I seemed to be addicted to it.
Just staring at that sword energy, thousands of sword moves are rehearsed in his mind.
Lin Lang suddenly had a new understanding of the sword.
In the past, when I practiced the Blazing Sword Art, the core of the sword art was to focus on a variety of moves. Through the combination of thirty-six sword moves, I could deal with various situations.
But Lin Lang discovered that compared with Gu Pingchuan, the sword moves and sword energy used in the Fiery Sword Duel were much different in speed and power.
And the gap is not caused by realm, but simply by sword intent.
Lin Lang believed that no matter how low his level was, Gu Pingchuan could easily wield a powerful sword even if he held a mahogany sword in his hand.
Because the sword energy does not depend on how sharp the weapon you use is, but on how you can condense the sword intention in your heart into the sword energy, so the power generated will naturally be different.
Gu Pingchuan always seems to be able to use the sharpness of the sword to maximize his moves, and at the same time, his speed increases simultaneously. Moreover, his moves are not like the Blazing Sword Jue, which has a fixed routine like Ying Tian Zhan, but instead seems to be swinging at will.
The sword has reached the state of being able to win without any moves but with only one move.
In other words, each of his sword moves is a move, a sword move that he has mastered to the extreme, so Lin Lang can glimpse thousands of sword moves from the narrow sword energy.
The most important thing is that every time Gu Pingchuan draws his sword, his eyes become sharp and his whole body becomes tense. It is as if he has turned into a sharp sword, and the sword he swings will naturally move forward indomitably and be indestructible!
"The way of swordsmanship is also the way of mind. The sword is the outside and the mind is the inside. Condensate the inner strength to build the edge of the sword. Expand the outer strength and wield the sword energy."
"Imagine yourself as a sword..."
"Or, imagine yourself as the hilt, edge, and aura of a sword??"
…
Lin Lang frowned and began to talk to himself. Yang Kaiyu and several girls on the side also looked at Lin Lang in confusion, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd.
Suddenly, Lin Lang looked towards the field, and Gu Pingchuan waved another sword energy.
This sword energy flashed through Lin Lang's eyes, and his pupils suddenly lit up.
"I know!! I know!!! It's Lijian Wuxin!"
Lin Lang suddenly screamed strangely, and everyone turned their attention to him.
But he didn't care about the reactions of the people around him at all. Instead, he sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and quietly felt the epiphany he just had at that moment.
"What's wrong with him?"
Qin Yingchun tugged on the clothes of the little sister next to him. Before the person next to him could answer, a strong wind began to blow around him, and the spiritual energy from heaven and earth poured into Lin Lang's Dantian crazily.
"He's going to break through!"
Yang Kaiyu dragged the people around him over and made a large enough space for Lin Lang to break through.
"Oh? Someone actually broke through at this time??"
Even Yun Baiwei and Xing Wei were attracted. When Yun Baiwei saw that the person who was about to break through was the boy from the Spirit Control Realm, she immediately lost all interest.
"Tch, it turns out it's him."
After saying that, Yun Baiwei turned her attention to Gu Pingchuan again. The others immediately lost interest when they saw that it was just the boy who was in the Spirit Control Realm. Only Gu Pingchuan stared at Lin Lang with squinted eyes.
It doesn't matter to him whether he is in the Spirit Controlling Realm or the Wandering Spirit Realm. The most important thing is that this kid only had a breakthrough after watching himself fight!
"Will you bring any surprises..."
Gu Pingchuan's eyes were as bright as a torch, staring closely at Lin Lang who was about to break through.
