On the high platform, an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
The thirty-two contestants all held jade slips in their hands and sat cross-legged in silence without moving a muscle.
It is obvious that the contents in the Jade Slips of Spiritual Skills are so obscure and profound that even the most outstanding and powerful geniuses from all over the world cannot get a glimpse of its true meaning for a while.
The crowd fell silent spontaneously, and the voices of conversations were extremely low. If there was even the slightest noise, a Yaowang Valley disciple would come forward to remind them, or even be expelled directly from the White Jade Square.
Around the high platform, hundreds of Yaowang Valley disciples were waiting in strict formation, strictly prohibiting anyone from approaching.
Even the Great Elder who has cultivated in the Divine Sea Realm has a solemn look on his face and uses his huge mental power calmly to explore the surroundings from time to time.
There was no need to be so cautious originally, but after Sun Ning was included in the head list, the security work suddenly became stricter.
An hour and a half later.
One of the participating warriors suddenly dropped the jade slip in his hand to the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and even the true energy on his body began to become disordered.
The Great Elder frowned and stepped in front of him. He put his right hand on the man's back and injected a powerful force of the Divine Sea Realm. The man's chaotic aura was immediately suppressed.
He quickly thanked him and said: "Thank you, Great Elder! This fleeting swordsmanship is much more sophisticated than I imagined. I was injured by one of the swords and failed to comprehend it!"
The great elder nodded, spread out his palms, and the spiritual jade that fell to the ground returned to his hands, and said calmly: "Go and nurse your injuries!"
A series of shocked shouts rang out from the crowd.
Everyone thinks that practicing the Floating Light Sword is simple and has no power. However, this time we saw someone practicing this sword, but the sword's intention backfired and suffered internal injuries. This shows that this swordsmanship is actually very powerful.
The great elder frowned and said in a deep voice: "Quiet!"
The commotion that had just arisen around them suddenly stopped in an instant.
Time passes minute by minute...
However, he saw a large amount of true energy suddenly emerge above Qu Jiuge's head, and then condensed into a sword energy, soaring into the sky, and shot to a height of more than ten feet before disappearing.
"It seems that Qu Jiuge has understood the first level of the Glimpse Sword!"
About half an hour later, a similar sword energy shot out from the top of Hu Man Gong's head.
The difference was that his sword energy was stronger than Qu Jiuge's, and it reached at least twenty feet into the air before disappearing.
In the next hour.
Prince Cheng and Jun didn't see it, but Tang Huan, Hua Beitang, Qin Feihe and other four peak masters also had sword energy emerging from their heads.
However, compared with Qu and Hu, their momentum seems weaker.
Yue Botao, who was standing twenty feet away and did not dare to go too far without waiting for Sun Ning's instructions, saw this scene with envy and jealousy in his eyes.
If it weren't for the bastard Sun Ning, he would be sitting on the stage now, taking part in the assessment, and like the other four people, he would have practiced the Shadow Sword to the first level.
Another quarter of an hour later, Qu Jiuge took the lead, and two more sword energy shot up into the sky.
This is a sign that he has reached the second level of cultivation.
The great elder frowned. Qu Jiuge was able to break through to the second level, which was beyond his expectation.
Having said that, this person's talent is indeed extraordinary.
Three hours passed, and half of the competition time passed. Among the thirty-two people participating in the competition, there were only three people, Qu, Hu, and Prince Cheng, plus the four peak masters. Sword energy soared into the sky above their heads.
Above everyone else's heads, there was always silence.
"Qu Jiuge is indeed a rare genius. He has actually mastered the swordsmanship of Floating Light to the second level. Given time, he may be able to reach a deeper state!"
"Not bad! In this aspect, even Hu Mangong is not as good as him!"
"The one that disappoints me the most is Sun Ning. Everyone said that he has an almost evil talent. I thought he would be able to achieve good results by practicing the Glitter Sword. Unfortunately, until now, there has been no movement."
From sunrise to sunset, six hours have passed.
But for those warriors who are immersed in the jade slips of spiritual skills, it seems that it only takes a moment.
The true meaning of the fleeting sword seems to be right in front of you, but you can never cross the threshold.
In this state of incompetence, the time for the competition has run out.
But for Sun Ning, it was two and a half full days!
"The competition is over. Please stop observing the Jade Slips of Spiritual Skills immediately and hand them in!" The Great Elder said loudly: "Those who have not entered the first level of heaven and earth can go down now. No points will be deducted in this round.
.And people who are successful in cultivation need to show it in public!"
Everyone shook their heads and sighed, and walked off the stage unwillingly.
There were only seven people left on the stage.
They are Sun Ning, Hu Man Gong, Qu Jiuge, Prince Cheng, and the other three peak masters.
Even if you don't see me, it will end.
With his points, it was no longer possible for him to compete for the top five positions. He just received a message from the Great Elder. On the Glimpse Sword, even though he had the first level of attainments in the world, he still left the field.
"Hey! Has Sun Ning entered the first level of heaven and earth? I have been paying attention to him just now, and I did not see the sword energy rising above his head!"
There was a hint of arrogance in Qu Jiuge's eyes.
Especially looking at Sun Ning, it is inevitable to feel a sense of superiority.
You are not as good as me after all!
Among everyone, he was the only one who released his sword energy twice and achieved the best results.
The Great Elder also looked at Sun Ning with some surprise, and said loudly: "Now, please invite those who are successful practitioners to come to the stage to practice!"
Tang Huan was the first to step forward.
He picked up the long sword in his hand and used all the seven sword styles of the Floating Light Sword. Every time he thrust out the sword, there was always a bright light, accompanied by a sword shadow, which looked brilliant and illusory.
It's really, really elusive.
The flashing sword has a total of nine levels of heaven and earth.
In the first level of heaven and earth, when it is used, each sword is accompanied by a light and a shadow of the sword. The light and shadow follow each other and never scatter.
When you reach the second level of heaven and earth, under each sword, there is a ray of light and two sword shadows.
The fourth level of heaven and earth is a light and four sword shadows.
According to legend, upon reaching the Nine Heavens and Earth, one sword thrust out three thousand sword lights, and 27,000 sword shadows appeared at the same time, covering a ten-mile radius, filled with fierce sword energy. Each sword had the power to split a mountain.
Tang Huan's swordsmanship is always accompanied by light and shadow, indicating that he has reached the first level of heaven and earth.
The next person to use it was the Prince of the City, who also reached the first level of heaven and earth.
The third person is Hu Mangong.
The Glimpse of Light sword was unleashed from his hand. It was completely different from the previous two. It had a more ethereal feel and was much more powerful.
But every time he struck the sword, there was still just a ray of light or a shadow, indicating that he had only reached the first level of heaven and earth. (To be continued)
