Chapter 2 Give each other with all your heart and soul
As mentioned earlier, Kunlun Mirror’s archiving/reading mechanism follows a certain “breakpoint resume” rule.
For example, Shushan Line, when was the last time it was saved and left, the next time it is loaded will be when it is read.
Now, both Qiu Changtian and Luo Yan have passed the Li Palace Trial, but the time when Lingyun broke in Shushan is still when the Li Palace is about to start.
On this day, after Ling Yunbaozheng finished sparring with Senior Sister An, he saw a sword light suddenly coming from a distance and landing on Qingluo Peak.
Ling Yunpo took a closer look and saw that it was the licking dog of Jin Gangfeng's senior brother Lin Duanshan and his senior sister.
"Senior Sister An!" Lin Duanshan hurried over and said as soon as he landed on the ground, "The East China Sea Palace has opened in the morning, and the disciples of the Kunlun and Penglai sects have entered the secret realm together for the trial."
"The news came from the Golden Summit of Emei, saying that the three sects came from the same orthodox religion and cannot fall behind others, so the Demon Locking Tower must be opened in advance."
"The corresponding Shushan competition between fellow sects will probably be brought forward as well!"
"I understand." An Zhisu looked calm, but Lin Duanshan couldn't control his temper and turned to glare at Ling Yun, "The competition is coming, are you ready?"
"Foolproof!" Ling Yunpo replied with a sneer.
Lin Duanshan was slightly startled, then said seriously:
"Since Senior Sister An wants you to participate in the Demon Locking Tower trial, then according to the rules of Shushan, you must be on the Immortal Sword Ranking in this sect competition."
"On the Immortal Sword Ranking, there are clear distinctions between strong and weak. Among them, the chief, that is, you, Senior Sister An, is in one level of strength; the second to fourth seats are in one level; the fifth to fiftieth seats are in one level; and the fifty seats are in one level.
It will be another level in the future.”
"Within the same grade, if the strength is similar, the seat ranking changes frequently; if it is one grade higher, the strength will have a crushing advantage, and it will be extremely difficult to win in a sword duel."
When Lin Duanshan said this, he paused for a moment and suddenly said seriously:
"With your swordsmanship talent, you should aim for positions below the fifth seat and above the fiftieth seat."
"If you end up outside the fifty seats, it will be an embarrassment to Qingluo Peak..."
An Zhisu interrupted him and said calmly:
"Our peak has such a bad reputation, so what does it matter if we lose face? Even if we get more than fifty seats, other peaks will not change their views."
"All I want is that Junior Brother Ling can participate in the Demon Locking Tower trial and go to the blood pool to wash his marrow and cut his veins smoothly. As for those false reputations, I don't mind."
Lin Duanshan was choked speechless by her, and was stuck for a moment.
As a senior brother of Jin Gang Peak and deeply trusted by his master, he always speaks his mind when he is on Jin Gang Peak.
In addition, his personality tends to be serious, and he always treats his junior brothers and sisters with strict requirements and harsh punishments.
As for "tactful tone" and "encouraging teaching", it's impossible and it won't happen even in ten thousand years.
Therefore, when he met a senior sister like An Zhisu who was unreasonable and protective of his shortcomings, he actually felt a little helpless.
Fortunately, Ling Yunpo didn't embarrass him for too long. In other words, he didn't want him to continue interacting with Senior Sister An, so he said:
"Senior sister, I naturally understand what you mean."
"The so-called seat challenge can be launched from all low seats to high seats."
"In other words, if I win a certain seat, I must have the strength to defeat everyone under that seat. Otherwise, even if I win by chance, I will not be able to secure my position in the future."
"But Senior Brother Lin is right! Since Master retreated, we, Qingluofeng, have gone from being in a difficult situation and being besieged by others to now being not easily ignored. Isn't it Senior Sister that you fought with swords every time and fought hard?
Is it?"
"You know, notoriety is also fame! If the reputation accumulated by Qingluo Peak falls into my hands this time, I will not forgive myself!"
[Unyielding character, synchronization value +1.]
He finished speaking impassionedly and in a resounding tone. An Zhisu's beautiful eyes turned red when he said it, and Lin Duanshan couldn't help but nod. Both of them were temporarily impressed by his aura and were speechless.
[Unyielding character, synchronization value +1.]
"Junior brother." After a while, Senior Sister An said softly, "Since you have such lofty ideals, of course Senior Sister will not interfere."
"In that case, let me let Junior Brother Lin teach you about the competition between Shushan sects."
Ling Yunpo:???
Wait, I just don’t want him to interact with senior sister anymore, I don’t want to interact with him!
Lin Duanshan turned a blind eye to his mental activities, he just put his hands on his hands and laughed and said:
"That's great! Since Junior Brother Ling has high aspirations, I won't begrudge my skills and will definitely teach him my best."
"Without further ado, let's start fencing right away!"
………………
The so-called fencing is, of course, just a very ordinary flying sword to cut with each other, and has no special meaning.
If we talk about Qingluofeng's Seven Killing Sword lineage, it emphasizes "pre-emptive strike" and "quickness is the only thing that cannot be broken";
Then Jin Gangfeng's Wanxiang Sword lineage pays attention to "taking advantage of the situation" and "changing everything".
There are many ways of swordsmanship, and there is no absolute superiority or inferiority between them. In the end, it all depends on the hard power of the swordsman himself.
Since it was necessary to simulate the Shushan Competition, Lin Duanshan directly used his cultivation this time. The Huafu-level True Yuan Commander used the Kaiyue Sword. Every blow was so powerful and heavy that Ling Yunpo could not parry at all, and was repeatedly beaten.
Pushed to the limit.
An Zhisu watched silently. Whenever Ling Yunpo became unable to hold on any longer, she would put her hand on the hilt of the Frostfall Sword, causing Lin Duanshan to immediately break into a cold sweat and feel terrified.
"Ahem, after entering the marrow cleansing stage, I probably already know your level of strength."
Feeling that if he continued to fight, the probability of being killed would become higher and higher. Lin Duanshan immediately chose to rein in his horse, put away the Kaiyue Sword, and said seriously:
"It's as good as I expected. As long as you show stable strength during the Shushan Competition, there will be no problem with more than fifty seats."
After hearing Lin Duanshan's judgment, An Zhisucai agreed with a smile as bright as a flower:
"Indeed, with your abilities, junior brother, you really don't have to worry too much."
"Sister, I just hope you don't put pressure on yourself. The reputation of Qingluo Peak is not important. What is important is whether you can improve your swordsmanship and improve your cultivation."
"Indeed." Lin Duanshan said with a straight face, "The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy means that in addition to your own strength level, you also need to know the strength of other competitors."
"Now on the Immortal Sword Ranking, only the top four seats can be said to be sure to beat you, so we'll start with these top four seats."
"The number one 'Frost' is your Senior Sister An. Since I started, I have never been defeated in seat challenges or private sword duels."
"You know her fighting style and strength level very well, so I don't think I need to say anything more."
"The second 'Cang Tie' on the list is Senior Brother Duan Fenhai of Huanglongfeng. This man was originally from a wealthy family, but he is not reckless or ruthless in his actions. Instead, he is known for his calm personality and rich experience. He is excellent in all aspects.
Their qualities are far superior to yours."
"The three seats on the list, 'Kaiyue', are mine, so let's not mention them for now; the fourth seat, 'Broken Moon', is the elder sister Guan Shanyue of Cuizhu Peak."
"She comes from the Guan family in Longxi, a family of sword immortals. She has many difficult sword-control secrets. Even I am not very sure about her, and you are even less able."
Lin Duanshan spoke frankly, but noticed An Zhisu's livid face next to him, and quickly added:
"Of course, I mean that you are not their opponent now... In time, with your swordsmanship talent, your achievements will not be much worse."
"In short, if you accidentally get selected by the top four seats in the lottery of this Shushan Competition, you can just admit defeat without holding on."
"The Shushan Competition is divided into two parts. The first half is the promotion knockout round. The duel is randomly arranged by drawing lots. If you lose, you will be relegated, and if you win, you will be promoted."
"The top one hundred disciples who advance will be determined in the end and will be listed on the Immortal Sword Ranking based on the results of the sword competition."
"The second half is a challenge to the rankings. All disciples can choose to challenge an opponent with a higher seat on the rankings than themselves. If they win, they will take the seat. If they lose, there will be no penalty."
"That is to say, in addition to the top four seats, you must keep in mind the corresponding fighting styles and sword-playing habits of the remaining ninety-six opponents currently on the Immortal Sword Ranking."
"Because, in the next Shushan Competition, you may bump into them during the lottery draw, or you may be intercepted by them during the challenge!"
