The test in the Sword Trial Tower is no different from the test in the conventional sense. They all start from easy to difficult.
The first test is about Su Anran's sword energy.
According to Shi Lezhi, in the Sword Sect era, this was a basic exercise for sword cultivators, so there was nothing to talk about.
If sword energy is not powerful enough, what is sword energy at all?
You might as well scratch it.
There are two ways to pass this first level test.
The first type, either lasts for three to four hours and prevents the gray fog from swallowing up the entire space.
The second method is to cooperate with the expansion method of spiritual perception to let the sword energy fight back and expand the space range to 400 square meters.
There is almost no trickery in this kind of basic test, so the two test methods are respectively aimed at two types of "candidates". The first one is naturally a passing level, and the second one is undoubtedly excellent.
After the second and third levels, Su Anran did not meet any other monks.
However, the difficulty of the assessment has also been significantly improved.
The second level of assessment is the degree of control over the sword energy.
Su Anran was able to use his sword energy to great effect, so it was naturally impossible to get him.
The only thing that made him helpless was that he didn't understand the content of the test at first and wasted a lot of time. It was only after Shi Lezhi figured out the way to pass the test and told him that Su Anran successfully passed the test.
This also made Su Anran understand that he was just a little clever, and he was quite clever. He knew what it meant to follow the trend and act according to the situation, but his spiritual understanding was average. If someone suggested something, he would naturally be able to draw inferences, but
If no one had mentioned it, it would probably take him a long time to figure out what the specific content of these assessments was.
Simply speaking from this point of view, Su Anran's qualifications are actually quite average.
As for the assessment of the Sword Trial Tower, naturally the sooner you pass the test, the better your qualifications will be.
Taking the intensity of the sword energy on the first level as an example, if the gray mist cannot be strangled as quickly as possible and can only be overcome with a steady and stupid method, then it will take four hours. Assuming that the second level still uses
A safe approach may take sixteen hours or even longer, so just getting through the first two levels will take almost a day or two.
Although it doesn't seem like that long.
But you must know that the Sword Trial Tower is only open for twenty days.
The first two levels took two days. How long will it take for the third level, which is twice as difficult again?
Four days? Five days?
Then what about the fourth level that directly produces a qualitative change?
What about the fifth level, which is twice as difficult as the fourth level?
Based on this calculation, if you want to climb to the sixth floor in twenty days, there is not enough time at all.
Under normal circumstances, with Su Anran's qualifications, the first three levels may not be eliminated, but the time required is likely to take four or even five days. Therefore, the importance of Shi Lezhi has been greatly highlighted - but
Even so, Su Anran still spent almost a day on the third level.
The third level of assessment is about the comprehensive ability of sword energy.
It not only tests the sharpness and lethality of the sword energy, but also tests Su Anran's control and manipulation of the sword energy, as well as its richness and reaction ability.
There are one hundred and eight stone pillars distributed in a huge square. Each stone pillar has three light spots of red, blue, and yellow colors. These light spots are located at different heights on the stone pillars - on some stone pillars,
The red dot is at the highest point and moves down two
The inch is the yellow dot, while the blue dot is at the lowest level; on some stone pillars, three light spots of red and blue light are located in the center of the stone pillar, only one millimeter apart; on some stone pillars, the red dot is located symmetrically on the back of the blue dot, and the yellow
The point is located at the top of the stone pillar.
There are so many kinds.
What Su Anran needs to do is to activate all the light spots with sword energy as required within thirty seconds.
Among them, what makes Su Anran the most helpless is that once he fails to break through the level, the requirements will change the next time he enters the square. It is absolutely impossible to accumulate enough experience to break through the level at once through the previous failures.
of.
In addition, the three-color light spots on the stone pillars have different lethality to the sword energy.
Sometimes, the red light spot requires Su Anran's sword energy to have a full blow equivalent to that of a monk in the natal realm; while the blue light spot requires Su Anran to touch lightly with his sword energy, like a lover (preventing harmony) loving (preventing harmony)
); while the yellow light spot does not require the power of the sword energy, but the sprint speed of the sword energy.
Likewise, these requirements will change every time Su Anran challenges again.
Therefore, if you want to hit 324 points of light within thirty seconds according to different rules, you can imagine the difficulty - what Su Anran finds excessive is that the square's requirements are also quite outrageous: for example, asking first
Su Anran first activated the red dots on the thirty-six stone pillars in the innermost circle, and then activated the yellow dots on the thirty-six stone pillars in the outermost circle... But regarding the sword energy required to activate these light spots,
Speed is not mentioned at all.
How is this different from a blind man touching an elephant?
Because of this, Su Anran was so distressed that her hair almost turned white.
In the end, it was Shi Lezhi who took the lead in discovering the hidden probability, alerted Su Anran, and assisted Su Anran in controlling it, and finally succeeded in breaking through.
And a lot of time is wasted on breath adjustment.
Even if he is as strong as Su Anran, it is impossible to squander his energy 24 hours a day - during the assessment in the square, Su Anran cannot recover by taking pills or relying on the free spiritual energy between heaven and earth. The entire square seems to be blocked.
Restricted by some special restrictions, there is no aura at all, so Su Anran's consumption in it cannot be naturally replenished. She must wait for the challenge to fail and then recover through meditation and breath adjustment.
As for taking elixirs, it is prohibited from the moment you enter the sword trial building.
In almost a day and a half, Su Anran passed three levels.
It is true that it is difficult, but the focus is on the word "enlightenment".
If it comes to practical operation, Su Anran is not at all afraid, and his practical ability is very strong. Generally, he can get started stably after two to three operations.
This is different from some people: just like there is a special creature called a nestling, they have a special ability similar to the resonance of spiritual consciousness, and can learn the accumulated experience of countless ancestors from this resonance memory.
, such as soaring posture, circling posture, spiral ascending posture, forward and backward diving posture, and many other techniques. The theoretical experience is extremely rich. I don’t know but I thought he was a powerful person.
But if you really want these chicks to operate in practice, they will be frightened every minute, and they may plummet just after taking off.
As soon as the third level was broken, in the dark and strange space, only thousands of gorgeous sword lights remained.
This time, there are not as many sword lights that can make Su Anran feel comfortable as before. There are only about a hundred styles. And more than two-thirds of the remaining ones make Su Anran feel creepy. Obviously, not only the assessment
It is extremely difficult and comes with a certain degree of danger.
Thinking of this, Su Anran couldn't help but feel lucky that he had Shi Lezhi, otherwise the test of the Sword Trial Tower would have been extremely difficult for him.
…
The fourth level of the Sword Test Tower.
Su Anran naturally couldn't choose a sword light that he thought was dangerous, and he didn't have any hobby for letters.
But as soon as he entered this world, he suddenly realized that the surrounding environment was very different from the previous three levels.
For example, the first level is only 400 square meters in size. The second level is slightly larger, about 1,000 square meters.
The square in the third level is relatively large, almost 10,000 square meters, mainly because the distribution of 108 stone pillars takes up more space.
But now, the fourth level is directly a land of ice and snow, and the terrain seems to be on a certain mountain peak.
"call--"
There was a roaring sound caused by strong winds.
Su Anran's brows couldn't help but frown.
When the strong wind blew, there was no such cold air as the ice and snow. Although he could also feel a chill, it was a cold chill, not the chill when the temperature dropped. Moreover, the "cold wind was like a blade" in
Here, it is definitely not an adjective, it is truly raging like a sharp blade.
Su Anran didn't pay much attention at first, but the cold wind tore a hole in her robe, and there was an extra hole on her arm, and blood was pouring out.
This alone is enough to prove the danger of this place.
You must know that Su Anran is still half-step soul condensation now, and has experienced a series of tempering techniques such as muscle, periosteal membrane, viscera, blood marrow, etc. Even if he has not practiced any secret techniques to strengthen the physical defense ability, even ordinary weapons can
It was impossible to hurt his body, let alone the cold wind.
Almost instantly, Su Anran realized what these air currents were.
"Sword Qi!"
In the divine sea, Shi Lezhi also exclaimed: "The wind in this place is actually condensed from the invisible sword energy!"
Su Anran did not dare to take it lightly and hurriedly spread her consciousness.
At this moment, he could feel the invisible sword energy that broke into his consciousness - perhaps because no one could control these invisible sword energy, so within the range of Su Anran's consciousness, he could easily
Capture the traces of the flow of these invisible sword energy.
It's almost dense and overwhelming.
In an instant, a thought came into Su Anran's mind: There is no way to avoid it!
"There is no way to dodge this one, we can only defend each other with sword energy." Shi Lezhi's voice also came from the divine sea.
The next moment, another invisible sword energy appeared out of thin air from Su Anran's side, but it hung motionless, just waiting for the invisible sword energy like airflow to come towards her.
"Qiang——"
The sound of gold and iron clashing was deafening.
A stream of sparks actually flew out of the void, and even a stronger explosion blast swept out.
Su Anran's pupils shrank.
But his reaction was not slow either. After all, he had just gone through the third level of the test. The reaction speed was the top priority. His hand was still feeling warm at this time. How could he forget it so easily. So when the impact air flow swept the entire venue,
He had already leapt forward, quickly retreated, and distanced himself from the explosion impact area.
Su Anran's expression at this time has become quite solemn.
"Have you noticed?"
"I found it." Shi Lezhi's response came from the divine sea, and his mood swings were also very solemn, "Invisible sword energy has quality and intangibility, but even if it has quality, it is just a transformation of spiritual energy, and it cannot be like a weapon.
It makes noises and even lights."
To put it bluntly, sword qi is a technique and method used by sword cultivators to use their own true qi.
Just as magic cultivation can transform one's own true energy into various different powers: such as the fire energy, water energy, gold energy, etc. required for the Five Elements magic, and the Yin force, Yang force, etc. required for the Yin and Yang magic.
Sword cultivators can also convert the true energy in the body into sword energy. Similarly, Confucianism, martial arts, Buddhism, etc. all have their own corresponding inheritance and power conversion methods and techniques.
But it is different from the various techniques of Shu Xiu, or the Confucian theory of Haoran Zhengqi, and the Wu family's theory of Qi Jin.
The focus of sword cultivation's sword energy lies in the word "qi".
Regardless of whether it is tangible sword energy or invisible sword energy, after a collision, the invisible will disappear, just like gas will naturally disappear after touching a certain solid. So it stands to reason that the collision between sword energy and sword energy,
It is absolutely impossible to produce the sound of gold and iron clashing, and even sparks and other tangible things will fly out.
As for the impact of the explosion, that is Su Anran's unique method.
But the incredible thing is that Su Anran tried to use the impact of the explosion to disperse the invisible sword energy, but who knew that when Su Anran's sword energy exploded, a chain reaction occurred, and the entire sword was like a cold wind.
The air currents all exploded together.
This feeling is a bit similar to suicide.
The scope of the impact is huge.
But soon, Su Anran's face became even more ugly.
Because as the impact of the explosion spread, areas that were originally windless began to experience strong airflow changes, and soon a brewing storm zone was formed.
If it was just an ordinary storm, Su Anran would naturally not be afraid.
But the problem was that he felt unprecedented madness and awe-inspiring atmosphere from the forming storm belt.
It was a large area of indiscriminate sword energy bombardment with extremely wide coverage and extremely lethal power!
Su Anran immediately started running down the mountain without looking back.
Although he still doesn't know what the test of this fourth level is, he already knows that in this area, he may not be able to release his sword energy as much as he wants, but must use it carefully, otherwise it will cause the current situation.
A special phenomenon like a sword energy storm. Moreover, the power of these sword energy storms is not low at all. Even though Su Anran is quite confident in himself, he always feels that once he is involved in this area, he may
It’s also difficult to escape unscathed.
"So, why on earth did I feel familiar with this world of sword light before?"
Su Anran cursed loudly.
"Husband, I think...it's a good thing you chose this sword light world. If it were one of those sword light worlds that even you find dangerous, I'm afraid the current situation would be even more complicated." Shi Lezhi's voice sounded faintly.
, "Although there are generally no casualties in the sword trial building. But if the injury is serious and the soul is damaged, the situation will become quite complicated... Huh? Why do I know this?"
At the end of the sentence, Shi Lezhi's voice became a little incredible, as if he was shocked that he would actually say such a thing.
But the next second, Shi Lezhi's exclamation sounded again: "Be careful!"
"call out--"
As soon as the whistling sound broke through the air, a sharp sword light appeared beside Su Anran and slashed directly towards Su Anran's neck.
