The original intention of the Sword Test House is to provide an examination room for sword cultivators to understand themselves and make breakthroughs in themselves.
Therefore, the assessments on the first six floors are basically related to the swordsmanship assessment, so teamwork is naturally allowed.
But starting from the seventh floor, the content of the assessment is no longer simply about understanding oneself and breaking through oneself, but becomes challenging oneself.
What kind of situation is most suitable for self-challenge?
There is no doubt that they are competing on the same stage.
So there is only one examination room on the seventh and eighth floors.
And unlike the fighting and fighting on the seventh floor, the examination room on the eighth floor is called "Winner Takes All", and the meaning is very obvious.
Only one person can enter the ninth floor.
At this moment, Su Anran, Kong Ling, Kong Buhui, Ye Jinxuan and others are on the eighth floor - unlike other floors, the assessment on the eighth floor will only be activated on the last day, and the previous nineteen days are just for the purpose.
Those who participate in the Sword Trial Building assessment can use this time to rush to the eighth floor and participate in the final assessment.
But it is a pity that over the years, no one has stepped into the ninth floor of the Sword Trial Building since Yin Lingzhu, and has not even reached the eighth floor, so naturally no one will know about the assessment on the eighth floor.
What exactly is it.
The last time Cheng Cong entered the seventh floor, it was already the last day, and it was luck that he was able to enter the seventh floor. That time, almost all the strong sword cultivators went crazy on the sixth floor, including
Tang Shiyun, Ye Jinxuan and others are basically
No one wanted to take a step forward. After all, as long as the souls in the Sword Testing House were not severely injured to the point of annihilation on the spot, no one would die at all. Therefore, all participants at that time adhered to the idea of revenge and revenge.
Headache and bleeding.
But this time it's different.
As long as you successfully enter the sixth floor, you can get the ultimate reward. Therefore, most swordsmen who know that they are not strong enough can just go to the sixth floor and find a place to hide, and they can get the reward after the assessment in the sword trial building is over.
Of course, even if many people want to go to higher floors to see the situation, with the cooperation of Ye Jinxuan and Kong Bugui, unless other sword cultivators are willing to join forces to fight together, then it is possible to break through the blockade of these two people.
.
Otherwise, the result would be no different from the sixth floor - Ye Jinxuan and Kong Bugui directly penetrated the examination room on the sixth floor where they were, so Su Anran and Kong Ling could enter the third floor without any hindrance.
Seventh floor.
At this time, they were on the eighth floor. It was also because it was difficult to find any prey on the seventh floor. They entered the eighth floor together and learned about the rules of the examination room on the eighth floor: the rules of the examination rooms on the previous floors required that you
The exploration is different. After entering the eighth floor, there is a huge arena, and all the rules are clearly written.
On the twentieth day, the assessment begins.
If there is only one person on the eighth floor on the 20th day, that person will automatically be tested as the champion in the sword building and can enter the ninth floor.
If there are two people or more than two people, the arena will be divided between each other to determine the winner until only the last person is left and will be promoted to the ninth floor.
If the number of people who finally enter the eighth floor cannot meet the arena conditions, the battle will be conducted in a team battle mode, and the winning team will enter the ninth floor. As for the team allocation mode, it also depends on the number of people who finally enter the eighth floor.
However, a team is allowed to have a maximum of five people and a minimum of three.
If the conditions for the above two arena competitions are not met, there are many more tricks in the Sword Trial Building, such as points-based challenges, challenge-based challenges, etc. Basically, all kinds of tricks are available, which can fully satisfy the requirements of entering the eighth floor examination room.
The number of sword cultivators.
The only difference is whether one enters the ninth floor alone or as a team.
…
Su Anran's face turned dark when she saw the assessment method on the eighth floor.
Because among the people present, his strength is the lowest.
Now he finally knows why Yin Lingzhu placed the grand prize directly on the sixth floor, because he obviously already knew what the rules of the examination rooms on the seventh and eighth floors were, so if he included the "opportunity to observe the sword canon"
This reward is placed on the seventh floor. I am afraid that after a considerable number of people enter the seventh floor and discover the challenge of the rules, there will definitely be countless people who want to scold them.
Rather than letting Wanjian Tower bear the curse, it is better to treat it as a favor: as long as you step into the examination room on the sixth floor, you don't need to wait until the final trial time is over, you can get a chance to observe the sword canon.
.
In this way, it directly improved the reputation of Wanjian Tower.
"Sister, what exactly is on the ninth floor?"
"The Secret Record of the Sword Code." Ye Jinxuan said, "The Code of Sword is actually something Master Uncle Yin brought from the ninth floor. Its efficacy is indeed miraculous, but if compared with the Secret Record of the Sword Code, it will be much inferior."
"Secret Records of the Sword Code?" Su Anran looked puzzled, "What on earth is that?"
"It is rumored that the Secret Sword Code is a Taoist treasure."
"Daobao?!" Su Anran exclaimed.
Su Anran had heard of the name Dao Bao a long time ago, but had never seen it before.
Magical weapons are divided into four grades, from high to low: top grade, top grade, medium grade, and low grade.
The middle- and lower-grade magic weapons only differ in their power, and there is no difference in essence. However, compared to the middle-grade magic weapons that require a certain level of cultivation, low-grade magic weapons are truly widespread and more popular among monks.
Therefore, most monks usually only choose low-grade magic weapons in the early stage, and then directly skip the middle-grade magic weapons. When they are in the natal realm, they find ways to get a high-grade magic weapon as their own natal magic weapon. Only those silly sons of landlords,
Or it may be that the nouveau riche who are really rich and have no shortage of money will use middle-grade magic weapons and look down on low-grade magic weapons. However, among the monks, the ones with the highest cost performance are naturally the low-grade magic weapons.
But the top-grade magic weapon is different.
Usually high-grade magic weapons have a certain spirituality, and they can better connect with the holder's mind. Therefore, the consumption of true energy will be relatively low when used, and there is no need to nourish the magic weapon when making it.
It allows the monks in the natal realm to cultivate to the true natal realm faster. Of course, in terms of power, it is even different from the middle and lower grade magic weapons.
If the power of a low-grade magic weapon is one, and the power of a middle-grade magic weapon is usually between 1.1 and 1.5, then the power of a high-grade magic weapon starts from two.
As for the ultimate magic weapon?
Sorry, that thing starts at five, not two or three.
Why?
Because the best magic weapon is no longer as simple as possessing a little spirituality, but directly gives birth to self-awareness and forms the spirit of the weapon!
A magic weapon without a weapon spirit, no matter how powerful it is, even reaching levels six, seven, or eight, is ultimately just a more powerful top-grade magic weapon.
For example, Su Anran’s Butcher.
In terms of power alone, some of the best magic weapons cannot compare to it.
But the Butcher has not yet given birth to a weapon spirit, so it can only be regarded as a top-grade magic weapon after all.
As for Tang Shiyun's natal magic weapon, the Picture of a Lady with a Famous Sword, it can be regarded as a top-quality magic weapon. Once she steps into the Taoist realm, she can incorporate the laws of the Tao into her body, and use this to cultivate what has become her inner world's destiny.
Then you can continue to upgrade this magic weapon and eventually become a Taoist treasure.
Therefore, Daobao must comply with two principles.
First, possess the weapon spirit.
Second, possess at least a trace of the power of the Great Law.
"The more powerful sects will all have at least one Taoist treasure, let alone the nineteen sects. The only difference is the number of Taoist treasures." Ye Jinxuan said, "But I am lucky enough to see the secret records of the Sword Manual of the Sword Testing House.
There are really too few people who have passed it, so few people know whether it is a Taoist treasure. But if the rumors are correct, then the Secret Record of the Sword Code is indeed a Taoist treasure."
"What functions does this Taoist treasure have?" Su Anran asked again, "What is the difference between it and the sword canon?"
"The Sword Code of Wanjian Tower allows swordsmen to gain insights from it by reading the Sword Code, and then learn one and a half moves." Ye Jinxuan said, "But the problem is that this kind of perception is uncertain. It is both
It may make you realize the shortcomings of your own swordsmanship.
This will give you the opportunity to improve and make your sword skills even better... For example, the sword skills you originally learned were only a mid-level sword skill, but after reading the sword canon and gaining insights, this sword skill becomes more advanced.
After the swordsmanship is improved, it becomes a top-grade swordsmanship."
"Then what if it's a masterpiece?"
There is no hierarchy among the martial arts in the Xuan Realm, only grades.
It is also divided into four levels: top grade, top grade, medium grade, and low grade. The higher the grade of the technique, the more powerful and effective it will be after practice.
But in fact, just as there is a theory of Taoist treasures that are superior to top-grade magic weapons and have immortal grades, although there is no such thing as a so-called immortal grade in martial arts, the top-grade martial arts are actually just a minimum standard - anything that exceeds the judgment of top-grade martial arts
Standard techniques can be regarded as top-notch techniques, but there are differences between top-grade and top-grade techniques.
Give an example based on the power of the magic weapon.
As long as it reaches a rating of five, it can be considered a top-notch skill, but with a rating of six, seven, eight or even higher, this skill is also classified as a top-quality skill.
Therefore, there is also a considerable gap between the best and the best.
For example, the exercises that Su Anran practices are all the most powerful and top-notch exercises. This is why his strength can almost overwhelm monks of the same realm. After all, compared to ordinary monks from small sects, Su Anran
The one who is leading is not even a star. Even the proud ones carefully cultivated by the Nineteenth Sect may not be stronger than Su Anran. At most, they can barely stand on the same starting line as him.
Therefore, the phrase "excellent" Su Anran asked about was not simply talking about the rating of the technique.
"Then it depends on personal opportunities." Ye Jinxuan knew what Su Anran really wanted to ask, so she said in a deep voice, "The skills you practice are all based on sword energy, but there are no sword moves at all.
Of course, there is no talk about the path of swordsmanship or the wonders of swordsmanship..."
In the mysterious world, the so-called sword cultivators basically focus on swordsmanship. After all, except for freaks like Su Anran, no one has nearly endless zhenqi - that is the exclusive domain of Taoist magic cultivators -
It can be converted into sword energy. Because of this, sword cultivators only talk about sword techniques and sword paths, and they don't talk about sword moves and sword energy at all. In their view, the so-called sword moves serve the sword path, and sword
The purpose of the road is to show the exquisiteness and superbness of swordsmanship.
What is the sword path?
The sword's power is as fierce as fire, which is the sword's path; the sword's wind, which is as rigorous as a rock, is the sword's path; it is the sword's path that is good at attacking the lower plate.
The so-called sword path, to put it bluntly, is the personal style of a swordsman.
The personal style of a swordsman also determines whether a swordsmanship can be sufficiently mysterious and superb in the hands of this swordsman.
For example, if you ask a sword cultivator who has a calm personality and upright work habits to practice a destructive sword move that specializes in attacking the opponent's three subordinates, this is obviously inconsistent with the sword cultivator's thinking, habits, and style, even the sword technique itself.
No matter how subtle it is, if the sword cultivator cannot understand its meaning, then it cannot be said to be mysterious or superb.
In the occult world, it is usually called "insufficient understanding".
Su Anran used his sword energy to attack the enemy, and he didn't care at all. The first move was to clear the ground with intercontinental missiles, so there was no such thing as a sword move or a sword style.
Just show off your art and that's it.
But Su Anran knew that her fourth senior sister specifically mentioned this matter and definitely didn't just want to say these few words.
As expected.
Ye Jinxuan quickly added: "...Senior sister, I am ashamed of your research on sword energy, so if you go directly to observe the sword canon, there is a high probability that there will only be two results. First,
You can clearly understand some sword moves from it, and then improve your swordsmanship. You don't have to worry about it not being in line with your swordsmanship style. This is the reason why the Sword Code is so magical. What it allows you to observe and understand must be the most effective.
Something that suits your style.”
"What about number two?"
"Second, it is not to directly improve on your basis, but...according to your style, let you learn stronger sword energy." Ye Jinxuan's tone was quite complicated, "Didn't you always say before,
What hand grenade did you start with?
The bomb sword energy has now been upgraded to the missile sword energy, and then there is the third level nuclear bomb sword energy?... Maybe after you observe the sword canon this time, you will learn a few special techniques to directly use it.
Your sword energy has been upgraded to the level of a nuclear bomb."
Su Anran's eyes lit up.
Nuclear bomb!
A swordsman who doesn't want to create a nuclear bomb sword spirit is not a good swordsman!
Su Anran doesn't want any peerless sword moves, fluttering white clothes, or one-handed swordsmanship!
He wants art!
As soon as the sword energy comes out, your mountain gate will be leveled directly. Why do you need one person to pick out the hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of people at the other side's mountain gate?
"But this is all about luck, right? After all, no one can guarantee that you will be able to understand anything from the sword manual."
"So, this is the function of the Sword Code Secret Record." Ye Jinxuan looked a little more serious, "The Sword Code Secret Record can answer almost all your questions about swordsmanship, understand your shortcomings, and automatically select the one that is most suitable for you.
Sword style. And as long as you get the answer from the Sword Code Secrets and then observe the Sword Code, you will definitely be able to understand the sword techniques mentioned in the Sword Code Secrets."
Su Anran understood instantly.
This Sword Code Secret Record, Daqing is just a search engine?
Get the answer you want directly through the search engine, and then go to Jiandian to get the answer.
"The Secret Records of the Sword Code...is on the ninth floor?"
"Yes." Ye Jinxuan nodded.
"Fourth Senior Sister, do you want to go to the ninth floor?"
Ye Jinxuan said: "Between you and me, one person must go up... If you have hope of winning in the next competition in the arena, then I will help you in the end and let you climb to the ninth floor. But if you
If I am eliminated, then I will have to go upstairs."
Hearing Ye Jinxuan's words, Su Anran couldn't help but reveal a wry smile: "Fourth Senior Sister, you also know my strength. The next sword cultivator who is qualified to enter the eighth floor must be stronger than me. How can I guarantee that?
Don’t let yourself be eliminated.”
"That's not necessarily true." Ye Jinxuan laughed, "As long as the person who finally enters is not a multiple of two, then no matter what happens next, you have hope."
"As long as it's not a multiple of two?" Su Anran was stunned for a moment, "Fourth Senior Sister, are you talking about a team competition?...Then the number of people must be controlled."
The conditions for the team competition are that the number of people entering the eighth floor can form at least two teams of three or five people.
But because of the first priority, the number of people must be controlled.
It must be ensured that the number of people forming the team competition does not include a bye team.
For example, there are only nine or fifteen people who finally enter the eighth floor. Therefore, whether a three-person team or a five-person team is formed, one team will definitely have a bye, so the trial mode will not be a team competition. So how to control
The number of people to ensure the smooth progress of the team competition is also a very important key node.
Su Anran took a look at the number of people currently on the eighth floor.
In addition to him and fourth senior sister Ye Jinxuan, there are also two brothers and sisters, Kong Ling and Kong Buhui. It is impossible for four people to form a team competition anyway.
At least two more people need to come in.
But if there are six people, how should the team be distributed?
Kong Ling joins his team, but Kong Buhui goes to the opposite side to become a traitor?
After killing his lord and Zhongzhong, he then took his own life to satisfy himself and his fourth senior sister, Kong Ling?
Su Anran thought for a while.
If you have no regrets, this operation seems really feasible.
