Phew!
Sword lights flashed one after another, and sword auras flew by. The wind moved vertically and horizontally with the sword auras, and the grass and trees fluttered. They relied on this instinct to avoid the sword auras.
Every time Xiao Ye struck with his sword, it was the simplest slash. It could be said that even a child could do it with only one hand and a sword in his hand.
But he stood like a pine, taking root on the ground, as if his whole body had been embedded in the ground. Every swing of the sword was so ordinary, yet so sharp. Once, twice, three times... He did the simple chopping gesture ten times, hundreds of times, thousands of times!
When the first sword fell, it had no effect. When the second sword fell, it still had no effect. But as the number of strikes increased, the chopping speed became faster and faster, and each strike of the sword could be clearly heard. To the sound of swords. With each subsequent sword fall, ripples seemed to appear where the sword blade struck, and a gap was vaguely drawn in the air by the sword blade.
It wasn't until the thousandth blow that Xiao Ye stopped slashing. At this moment, he was sweating profusely and panting slightly. Logically speaking, with his current strength, even if it were five thousand times, let alone one thousand times, he would not be sweating and panting like this. The most important part of this is still "meaning"!
If there are empty moves but no intention, then the true power of the sword moves cannot be exerted at all. Although Xiao Ye has stepped into the basic threshold, he is still a young boy when it comes to mastering mind.
Meaning, that was the existence of a certain kind of law and force in the beginning. The most basic swordsmanship is where the most primitive power lies. He used the most basic swordsmanship and kept slashing. Even though it was the simplest sword, the falling sword, which had been tempered for thousands of times, also had great power. And it was from this that he understood the meaning of the sword.
But the meaning cannot be understood overnight. Sometimes it stops making progress, and sometimes it suddenly breaks through because of something. At this moment, Xiao Ye was just training his mind.
Then, he suddenly moved, his figure was as light as a dragonfly splashing water, and his figure was as fast as a wasp. Misty and uncertain, drifting across the ocean like floating clouds in the wind.
The steps were powerful and orderly, but also unpredictable. They were clearly movements, but they were as sharp as sword steps. Looking carefully, he didn't even leave any footprints wherever his feet passed, it was as if he had floated by.
The red sword was in his hand, changing with his sword steps, as if he was dancing with the sword, flowing smoothly.
For a month, Xiao Ye hardly cultivated his spiritual energy or even his soul. He did this every day, constantly honing his sword intention, constantly planning his sword steps, and constantly integrating the two into one.
"Zhuge Yu... this swordsman genius who is known as the first genius of the outer sect and is rare to see for hundreds of years, how does he practice swordsmanship?" Xiao Ye said to himself.
A month of sword training made him very curious about this swordsman genius.
Although they only met once, he could really feel the difference in the other party. The strong sword intent was definitely not inferior to him, or even superior to him. Although he has a powerful body and his soul as a trump card, if a fight really breaks out, will he really win?
Not only that, since it is a battle between the sect's geniuses, since the reputation of the dynasty must be maintained.
I am afraid that the children of those wealthy families will participate, and if they are legitimate children, I am afraid that the family will also break the rule of no foundation and no help, and then these disciples will be even more difficult to deal with.
"What should I do? Uncle Mu has given me such a task, how can I satisfy him?" Xiao Ye said depressedly.
Thinking about it, if it didn't involve too much, he wouldn't have to participate in this sect's genius battle at all. He doesn't care about glory or being among the top ten genius disciples. But now that Mu Qingyi is so optimistic about him, he feels a little guilty.
While here, someone suddenly heard a voice from behind. Looking back, it was Senior Brother Li He whom he hadn't seen for a long time. Ever since he knew the horror of Xiao Ye's pill, he had been avoiding Xiao Ye all the time. Xiao Ye didn't know why he came back to him today.
"Junior brother." Li He greeted with a smile.
Xiao Ye squinted his eyes and said jokingly: "I finally came out. I thought that Senior Brother you would never want to come to me in this life."
"Haha..." Li He smiled awkwardly, thinking, good guy, is that thing of yours really a pill and not a poison? Go and see for yourself and ask what you have done to those brats, especially the third child. You don’t know how miserable he is, and he is about to commit suicide.
"How could it be? Junior brother, it's just that senior brother, I have recently had some opportunities to be busy with cultivation. How could I not dare to see you?" Li He said, changing the subject.
"Oh?" Xiao Ye sensed it a little bit and found that Li He had already broken through and reached the ninth level of the Qi-entraining realm, but the spiritual energy was still a little chaotic. It should have stabilized shortly after the breakthrough: "Don't say useless things. , Senior brother, what do you want to do to come to me? Seeing that you are so high-spirited, you don’t want to come to me to spar, right? "
"You're right, I really came here to discuss with you." Li He said firmly: "The battle between the sect's geniuses is about to begin. You must know this, right?"
Xiao Ye just smiled and nodded, and Li He continued: "Looking at you, you must be participating, and I will also participate. But there are many proud people in the sect, especially those disciples from wealthy families. That is absolutely They are all powerful beings. Although I have some confidence in my current strength, I still don’t know where the height is, so I came to you to find out the answer from you. After all... others don’t know that I haven’t You know, little junior brother, your talent and strength are definitely not inferior to those of those people, or even stronger, so I want you to help me give it a try, where is my current limit?"
Xiao Ye looked at Li He with a serious look on his face. He must have had a great opportunity.
That's right, the senior brother, like most of the handyman disciples, was born as a commoner. Compared to those family disciples, his status and talents are much lower. And the eldest brother's talent has been the best among the handymen for decades. He was born a commoner, and as a handyman, he also couldn't stand the style of those family disciples. Today's Tianjiao battle is the time to prove him, and at the same time, it is also to prove those handymen who were born commoners, and tell those family disciples with their actions. , there are also geniuses among civilians.
Since the senior brother wants to prove and test his own limits, then this battle may not be as simple as hitting the target.
"Okay, it seems that you are serious, senior brother." Xiao Ye said calmly: "In that case, let's go to the outer sect of the sect to compete. Since we are going to participate in the battle of geniuses, we still have to keep our own trump cards. For the best.”
Within the sect, only the Dou Ling Platform can be used for competition, but it is too provocative and the trump card is exposed. You don’t need to participate in the future. It is not impossible to compete in private, but it is also risky. If you compete outside the sect, the sect rules will not control it.
"Okay!" Li He smiled.
Afterwards, the two of them walked out of the sect together and walked around the sect. After making sure that no one was around, they decided on the location.
"Senior Brother, although I know what you are thinking, I still want to say the last thing: stop at the point and don't be too drastic." Xiao Ye said seriously.
"Yes, but... Junior brother, I know you are very strong, but I will not hold back. I also hope you will not hold back. This is the most basic respect for an opponent." Li He said .
"Okay!" Xiao Ye said with a smile. This was the first time that he and Li He had a serious competition. Xiao Ye would naturally not hold back on his respect for his opponent.
Xiao Ye and Li He stood there, motionless, like two upright trees. The wind blew by, their hair was flying, and their eyes were sharp. The two of them were full of flaws, but there was nowhere to break them.
"bump!"
Suddenly, Xiao Ye took the lead, and all the Gang Qi suddenly burst out. A footprint more than an inch deep was directly left on the ground under his feet. His figure flew out like a shocking arrow, and his right hand that clenched his fist instantly He turned red and punched Li He.
Xiao Ye's current strength of Gang Qi is already equivalent to the strength of a mid-level earth-level secret treasure. A punch with all the strength gathered, even a ninth-level powerhouse needs all his strength to resist. If this punch had hit Li He's body, he would have been severely injured.
But Li He stood there and seemed to have no intention of dodge.
But Xiao Ye has no intention of stopping. To stop at this time is to look down on the other person, which will inevitably leave a gap.
Suddenly, just when his fist was about to hit Li He, Li He suddenly glared and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
I saw that his body suddenly moved slightly, as if it was shaking like a piece of paper. Xiao Ye punched his body, and he seemed to lose his strength instantly, and the strong strength in his body seemed to turn into soft strength in an instant. No, it should be that Li He's body suddenly became lighter, as light as a feather or a piece of paper, and was completely powerless when hit on it.
Then, Li He's body seemed to float as lightly as a ribbon, and he punched out. Xiao Ye quickly gathered his energy to resist, but the punch that hit him immediately shocked him.
The power of this punch was 40 to 50% of the force of his punch, and it knocked him back several feet.
Xiao Ye looked at Li He in shock. Although such a punch would not pose a threat to him at all, Li He was not a body-refining monk, so he was able to exert such a powerful force, which really shocked Xiao Ye.
"Junior brother, you have to be serious. If you are a little careless, you will probably lose." Li He said firmly.
Xiao Ye didn't dare to be careless anymore. What Li He said might not be false.
