The next morning, Cheng Ling got up early and practiced basic swordsmanship and spells in the courtyard for two hours. These have become his daily habits, and he practices basic swordsmanship for at least an hour every day.
As for spells, although he has not practiced the spells in the Golden Page, he is very proficient in the basic Five Elements spells, especially the gravity spell.
Now, as long as his mind moves, he can perform it instantly with high accuracy. His control over his true energy has reached a very terrifying level. He found that as his control over his true energy strengthened, the speed and explosive power of his swordsmanship were very high. Great progress, many times stronger than monks of the same level.
There is also the movement technique, the shadow-following movement technique is not of a high level, only in the middle-grade level. However, with the addition of the gravity technique and the power of thunder, he was forcibly promoted to the peak of the middle-grade technique, creating the divine thunderbolt movement technique. Much higher than ordinary monks of the same level.
Today, the morning practice has come to an end. It's time to go and see the situation of the Enlightenment Tower. I don't know what kind of sword skill it is.
Sheathing the long sword, Cheng Ling left the attic and headed towards the Enlightenment Tower. The attic of No. 25,000 is quiet. Unfortunately, it is too far from the central area. All the resources of the academy are in the central area. It takes a lot of time to go there. It seems that I need to get a means of transportation.
The outer disciple area of the academy has air restrictions and no disciples are allowed to fly. Flights are only allowed once you reach the inner gate. However, if there is demand, a new transportation tool will always be developed, and that is the monster mount.
There are many types of monster mounts, and disciples can rent or buy them. However, the purchase price is very high, and only contribution points are charged, and spiritual stone payment is not supported.
Cheng Ling finally figured out something about the disciple's token. Contribution points are a virtual currency used by academy disciples for practice and transactions.
Every disciple has a chance to use the Cultivation Tower, Enlightenment Tower, and Library Pavilion for free when he first enters the academy. In the future, if you want to enter again, you have to pay contribution points.
There are many ways to obtain contribution points. You can learn sword skills and contribute to the academy, or you can go out and experience materials, techniques, sword skills, etc. to the academy in exchange for contribution points. There are even ways for disciples to bet with each other, challenge bets, ask questions, and so on.
There are many channels. As long as you have the ability and do not violate the rules of the academy, you can do as many as you want. However, the cost of contribution points is also staggering. Whether it is elixirs, exercises, sword skills, etc., if you want to get them, you have to exchange them for contribution points.
As for achievement points, they are not something ordinary disciples can obtain. It is often obtained by making a huge contribution to the academy, such as resisting foreign enemies, becoming one of the top three academy disciples, or contributing a very high-level secret book.
In the outer disciple area, there are very few disciples with achievement points, and there are very few places to use them. Only disciples of higher levels have corresponding secrets and secret realms that can be used.
Cheng Ling kept walking and soon arrived at the Tower of Enlightenment. Inside the tower, there are deacons and disciples guarding it. After passing the disciple token, the deacon disciple took it, swept his consciousness, and said, "Go in, and cherish this free opportunity."
Cheng Ling nodded and walked in.
The space inside the tower is not large and is in the shape of a hexagon. There are patterns painted on each wall. From the side, it looks like it is carved from earth and stone, with uneven unevenness. There are many disciples sitting cross-legged in front of the patterns, meditating and meditating.
Cheng Ling glanced over and saw the disciples sitting densely in front of the tower wall, and smiled bitterly to himself. There are too many outer disciples, and there is not even a place for enlightenment. If you sit behind those disciples, you are afraid of seeing them.
It's not real enough, and the effect of understanding is too low.
His eyes glanced around, trying to find a gap for enlightenment. Finally, I saw a thick eight-sided stone pillar in the center of the tower. The patterns on it were much clearer than those on the tower wall. There were very few disciples meditating in front of the stone pillar.
Feeling secretly happy in his heart, he hurried forward, grabbed a seat without hesitation, sat down, stared at the stone pillar in front of him, and began to comprehend.
Little did he know that this move would startle the disciples who were watching on the outside of the tower wall. One of the disciples said: "Who is this person? He dares to directly understand the sword skills on the stone pillars. How come I haven't seen it before? Could it be that he is a senior who has just entered the top ten of the inner sect recently?"
"Don't talk about you, I haven't even seen it, and there haven't been any strong new people coming out recently. They can't be new disciples, right?"
"No, a new disciple dares to comprehend the stone pillar directly. Do you want to remind him? He must not know the secret of the Enlightenment Tower. I'm afraid that I will die from mental exhaustion later!"
"You're stupid. You've already fallen into enlightenment without seeing him. Go and remind him now, he'll be disabled even if he's not dead!"
"It shouldn't be. Most disciples from sects and families know the reason. How could such a newcomer suddenly appear? Is he a casual cultivator?"
"Impossible. How can casual cultivators have the ability to pass the three levels of the Famous Sword? They must be from some family's 250. If they don't listen carefully to the teacher's teachings, this will be a disaster. We'd better inform the deacons and disciples quickly and ask the elders to come and save their lives!"
"Yes, judging from his age, he was only about twenty years old. It is a pity that he died so young. You should hurry up and inform the deacon disciples!"
"Why don't you go, let me go!"
"Okay, stop arguing. He doesn't look like a treacherous person. I'll inform the deacon disciples!"
Soon, word spread that a new disciple had mastered the Stone Pillar Sword Skill upon entering the Enlightenment Tower for the first time, and even the deacons and elders were alarmed.
Coincidentally, the elder on duty today is none other than Jian Laodao. Just as he was sitting on the Taishi chair with his old god present, he was planning in his mind how to get close to Cheng Ling and increase his training. The deacon disciple of the Enlightenment Tower walked in and told the reason of the matter.
Master Jian sighed inwardly, wondering which unlucky boy could have made such a huge mistake just one day after joining the Famous Sword Academy. But as a deacon and elder, I always have to go and have a look.
He got up helplessly and walked towards the Enlightenment Tower with his deacon disciples.
At this time, many of the disciples who were meditating quietly were awakened by the noise in the tower. They glared angrily, really wanting to beat up those noisy disciples.
You must know that entering enlightenment is not that simple. Many disciples have to spend several hours or even days. After finally gaining enlightenment, they are awakened again. It felt like a forward on a football field who was about to score a goal, only to find that his kick hit the crossbar.
When they learned the whole story, they all looked at Cheng Ling in surprise. This kid can do it. He chose the stone pillar for the first time to comprehend. I really don't know how to write the word "death". It just depends on how long he can persist and wait to collect the corpse!
Old Jian Dao was slow and unhurried, and he waited for more than half an hour before arriving at the Enlightenment Tower. As soon as he entered, he asked calmly: "Which new disciple is he? Has he been saved yet?"
One of the disciples said: "Elder, that's him. He's been here for more than half an hour. I'm afraid he can't be saved."
Jianlaodao turned his head and looked, his eyes suddenly
The stare was as big as a copper bell. For the first time, I regretted why I came so slowly. It was over, completely over! It really hurts me to see a rising star of swordsmanship with extremely high talent and understanding die like this!
He cursed angrily at the deacon disciple of the Enlightenment Pagoda: "Didn't you remind him not to comprehend the sword skills on the stone pillars without authorization? What a pity, what a pity! It's all your fault, you trash, my Sword Dao Academy Hope is just gone!"
The disciples were shocked. What was the hope of the Kendo Academy? Could it be that he is the new disciple in front of him? What virtues and abilities does he have that make the deacons and elders so interested in him?
The deacon's disciples were scolded so much that they could hardly turn around. I feel even more aggrieved. I didn't remind you in advance, but who knows that others don't know. Besides, you were also taking your time and wasted most of an hour.
It turns out that the sword skills in the Enlightenment Tower are not so easy to comprehend. For the sword skills around the tower wall, the average disciple can understand one or two, which is considered good, but there are less than a hundred people who can understand four or five.
As for the sword skills on the stone pillars, they are even more advanced, and only the top 100 disciples have historically been able to comprehend them. Moreover, among a hundred people, there are only about thirty disciples who have mastered the sword skill, so it is not easy to say that it is not easy. Even the old sword master only learned one sword skill from the stone pillar.
Comprehension of sword skills requires a monk's mental power. The patterns around the tower wall are of a low grade. If a monk cannot comprehend them, it will only consume a lot of mental power and will not put his life in danger.
The sword skills on the stone pillars are different. The patterns there are relatively clear, and the sword skills that have been understood are of a very high level. But the stone pillar seems to have a kind of magic power. If it weren't for the strong mental power, it would be impossible to withdraw without mastering the sword skills, and many disciples would have been lost in the past.
The top 100 disciples in the outer sect have all reached the peak of golden elixir perfection, and their spiritual power is very strong. Even if you can't comprehend it, you just consume too much, and you will be unable to use your spiritual consciousness for a long time or fall into a coma. There is no life-threatening danger, but it is already very dangerous!
In view of this, the deacons and disciples of the academy will remind new disciples to pay attention when they meditate. However, over the past few decades, this has become an unwritten rule. Everyone in the family and sect knew this, so the deacon disciples relaxed their vigilance and did not send any reminder to Cheng Ling.
But who knew that Cheng Ling was a standard otaku. After coming to the academy, he chose a remote residence and did not ask any old disciples for advice. Liu Qingyan never told him this and had no idea about it. Just thinking that there was an empty space in front of me, I tried to comprehend it!
Jian Laodao felt sad for a while, then raised his eyes to look at Cheng Ling, only to find that Cheng Ling's condition didn't seem to have changed. He was sitting cross-legged quietly, with even breathing, and it didn't look like he was consuming too much mental energy.
A glimmer of hope ignited in his heart, and he asked the disciples in the tower: "How long has he been enlightened?"
"Back to the elder, it's almost an hour!"
"What? It's been an hour, so why hasn't his condition changed at all? Even his face looks normal. You didn't lie to me?"
"Disciple doesn't dare to deceive the elder. We originally planned to wake him up before, so as not to get stuck in the mud, but looking at his state, we can tell that he has fallen into enlightenment. That's why we didn't dare to alarm and asked the deacon disciple to invite you!"
Jian Laodao turned around and asked, "Is that so?"
The deacon disciple nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. He was afraid. If Master Jian got angry, he would never be able to eat and walk around!
A flash of light flashed in Jian Laodao's eyes, and a thought flashed through his mind. Is he really capable of understanding sword skills from the stone pillars?
