"How many species?"
On the temporary high platform, Bai Qi held a cup of tea and asked slowly.
Yu Hualong, who was sitting next to him, had a complex expression on his face and said calmly: "It's the eighth kind."
"I challenged eight people in a row, and then performed eight completely different sword skills. The most important thing is that they were all performed by the eight people before." Bai Qi smiled and pondered, "It seems that my sworn brother really has a lot of secrets." Less!"
Seeing the fish transforming into a dragon, Bai Qi chuckled: "Who am I, Bai Qi, that I need to covet his secrets?"
Yu Hualong smiled and nodded, then looked at Shi Chishang again with complex eyes.
Also looking at Shi Chi Shang, a smile gradually appeared in Bai Qifeng's eyes. If Yu Hualong was the hero he had seen second only to His Majesty Zulong, then Shi Chi Shang was the most qualified cultivator he had ever seen.
This qualification refers not only to his training speed, but also his fighting talent.
Although he was in seclusion, Bai Qi would occasionally send out his soul thoughts to pay attention to Shi Chi Shang. In more than two months, Shi Chi Shang had transformed from just a little understanding of fighting to a warrior with proficient fighting skills.
The most important thing is his talent at the moment.
Since the beginning of the competition, Shi Chishang has challenged eight people in a row, and he has won and lost. But what shocked everyone is that whenever Shi Chishang challenges one person, he can always defeat the previous opponent in the next competition. The sword skills are displayed.
Of course, with Yu Hualong and Bai Qi's eyesight, they could naturally see that Shi Chi Shang was just a mere form but not a spirit, but even so, it was enough to shock people.
If you can imitate his form after just one fight, will you be able to imitate his spirit by playing a few more games?
"defeat!"
Accompanied by a long roar, Shi Chi Shang's body was filled with flames. The raging sun fire filled the sky and the earth, turning into a sea of fire and covering his body. His opponent also retreated in response, taking several steps back in embarrassment, almost falling. Fall to the ground.
Having just defeated his opponent, Shi Chishang's soul energy surged throughout his body. In his thoughts, the swordsmanship performed by his opponent just now was gradually reflected in his heart, corresponding to the several swordsmanships he had previously seen, peeling off the inferior quality and extracting the essence.
Most of the swordsmanship skills of these Da Qin sword masters were straight and straight, standing chops, heavy strikes, and horizontal cuts, all of a strong type, with few agile and erratic ones.
With his hands around the hilt of the sword, Shi Chi Shang stood still, constantly deducing the trajectories of the several sword techniques just now in his mind, trying to extract the fierceness from them.
After a while, the sword edge in Shi Chishang's hand trembled, as if he wanted to practice the sword style, but then he paused, frowned and murmured: "No, there is something wrong, but where is it?"
Seeing Shi Chi Shang whispering like a demon, Bai Qi suddenly winked to the side, and a heavy-armored swordsman came out of the crowd, came to Shi Chi Shang and struck out with his heavy sword.
Although he was immersed in the mystery of swordsmanship, Shi Chishang still felt the fierce wind. He turned the edge of the bronze sword in his hand and instinctively displayed his most proficient starlight swordsmanship. In an instant, the starlight flashed, and the heavy blow struck him. The sword bounced up instantly.
Then Shi Chi Shang swung his sword and stabbed forward with his free hand. The starlight on the sword's edge was brilliant and dazzling, making the sword's edge almost like a hazy and invisible shadow, rushing towards the throat of the heavily armored swordsman as fast as lightning.
Clang! Before the bronze sword touched the swordsman's throat, it was already blocked by the powerful ghost energy coming out of the opponent's body.
When the sword failed, Shi Chi Shang was not surprised, but instead showed an expression of joy.
Seeing that he had come to his senses, Bai Qi stood up and touched his palms with a smile: "Understood? The reason why you can't use their swordsmanship is not that the swordsmanship you simulated is wrong, but that you can't borrow the power of our Great Qin army like them."
Shichi Shang stood solemnly and nodded gently.
Potential! It was decided that Shi Chi Shang would not be able to display such powerful and domineering sword skills like the several Great Qin sword masters just now.
These Great Qin sword masters are members of the military and are souls. They can borrow the strong military strength accumulated by the entire military camp for thousands of years to strengthen themselves and strengthen their strength.
Although Shi Chishang followed them to fight for two consecutive months, compared to these thousands of years old soldiers, he was still only an outsider, and naturally could not borrow the fierce and iron-blooded military power in the army.
The reason why Shi Chishang's sword with the starburst earlier was able to repel his opponent was precisely because he instinctively borrowed the strongest power that he could borrow now.
Negative! Taiyin, Yin energy, shadow!
Compared to the glorious atmosphere of the sun, the twelfth yin is even more soft and imaginary. Shi Chi Shang's sword just now seemed to be shining with starlight, but in fact it was a swordsmanship with the lunar yin as the core, which was similar to an illusion of blessing.
Staring at the sword's edge, Shi Chishang kept recalling the instinctive sword strike before, and the corners of his mouth gradually raised into an ecstatic smile.
"The sword changes like a shadow, sometimes on the left, sometimes on the right. It seems to be turning back, but it is actually striking forward."
Muttering to himself, Shi Chi Shang flicked his wrist, raised his sword and stabbed it forward gently. In an instant, the shadow of the sword fissioned, turning into thousands of phantoms, hazy like a mist.
"This sword should be the Sword of Shadow!"
"Long Ying? Well-deserved!"
Hearing Shi Chi Shang's smile, Bai Qi nodded with a smile, while Yu Hualong stood up slowly and said calmly: "Since the shadow is created by the power of the twelfth yin, think about it, what can it be transformed by the power of the sun?"
Shi Chishang was in the midst of joy. He was startled when he heard the words. After a hundred thoughts in his mind, he suddenly smiled and said: "I will die as the sun!"
After saying that, Shi Chishang struck forward with his sword again, but at this moment, it was no longer a blur, but a ball of blazing sun that seemed to be falling from the sky. The stars on it were strong, but they still condensed and never dispersed. Like a star.
With the Mirror Soul Seal, Shi Chishang watched several swordsmanships and understood the method of taking advantage of the situation. He actually went from the first level of Starlight Swordsmanship to the second level of Star Marks in one fell swoop, and directly stepped into the third level. The third level of the Star Dou Realm.
Seeing that he had mastered two sword skills in a row after just a few sparring sessions, Bai Qi nodded secretly, thinking that his foster brother's understanding of the sword was really astonishing.
Although Yu Hualong's face was expressionless, he felt a bit happy in his heart. If nothing unexpected happened, this boy would probably be his son-in-law in the future. The stronger he is now, the more help Yu Lewei will get in the future. .
Different from the joy of the two people, although Shi Chishang was equally surprised, he was more curious about the mirror soul seal in his Yang Soul.
The so-called ghost seals, the handprints in the Taoist curse seals, the talisman seals on the spiritual talismans, and the formation flags in the magic circle can be said to be similar things, and they all imitate the original Taoist scriptures of heaven and earth.
This Taoist script is collectively called the divine rune in the West, but in the East it has many different names, such as talismans, spiritual patterns, seals, etc. However, many times, the East and the West still refer to it as Taoist runes. The Essay of Three Ways.
It is said that in the Hongmeng Era, which is still going forward in the prehistoric period, there were three ways that first stood up to end Hongmeng and create the prehistoric world. The heaven and earth interacted and evolved into five hundred Taoist texts, which represented the rules of heaven and earth, all living things, and many other elements.
Of course, it is said that there are five hundred Taoist texts, but in fact the number of Taoist texts is at least hundreds of millions or even trillions. However, from ancient times to the present, only five hundred Taoist texts have been analyzed to reveal their true meanings, and there are many more. The Taoist texts are either scattered throughout the Seven Realms and Liuhe, or the relevant meanings have not yet been deciphered.
Being able to reflect other people's skills, this Mirror Soul Seal is probably infinitely close to the prototype Taoist text, but Shi Chishang didn't know what that Taoist text was, and it could have such a terrifying effect.
For the next five days, Shi Chishang spent nearly ten hours every day practicing swordsmanship with the swordsmen in the Qin army.
It's not that he doesn't want to spend more time competing every day, but once the Mirror Soul Seal is activated, it will consume corresponding soul power based on the quality of the reflected spell.
Those low-level sword skills were useless for Shi Chi Shang to learn, but for those top sword skills, if Shi Chi Shang wanted to fully reflect their form, he would have to consume a lot of soul power.
Even if his Yang Soul was powerful, it could not withstand such a large and frequent consumption of soul power, so in the end he had to reduce the time to ten hours and use other time to sort out and summarize these sword skills.
Five days later, Shi Chishang was watching a newly learned swordsmanship when Yu Hualong suddenly opened the curtain and walked in: "Get ready, we will leave later."
"Leave?" Shi Chishang opened his eyes and asked, confused, "Why are you leaving so suddenly?"
Yu Hualong grinned: "These days, you have secretly learned the swordsmanship of hundreds of swordsmen in Changping Dongtian. Although they are dead, as soul cultivators, they still have the memories and personalities of when they were alive. If you hadn't been Bai Qi’s sworn brother, do you believe that you were killed as early as when you secretly learned the swordsmanship from the first person?”
Shi Chishang suffocated and then showed an embarrassed smile. Yes, secretly learning other people's martial arts is a taboo in the cultivation world. Subconsciously, he did not regard these sword masters as living people, so he was not surprised until Yu Hualong reminded him. My own mistakes.
After thinking about it, Shi Chi Shang stood up as he said. Without any salute, he picked up the bronze sword that Bai Qi had thrown to him that day and followed Yu Hualong out of the tent.
When the two walked out of the tent, they saw Bai Qi standing outside the door, with hundreds of Qin soldiers standing silently behind him, their ghostly aura surging like an immortal army.
Seeing Shi Chishang, Bai Qi's unparalleledly handsome face showed a bit of embarrassment. Although he was the master of this Changping Cave, the people around him were veterans who had followed him for thousands of years. No matter how ruthless he was, , and could not still stubbornly help Shi Chi Shang secretly learn swordsmanship despite the joint protests of all the veterans.
Unexpectedly, Shi Chishang suddenly walked quickly to a heavy armor swordsman, held up the bronze sword with both hands, handed it over respectfully, and solemnly said: "Thank you sir for lending me this sword these days."
Unexpectedly, Shi Chi Shang would do this. The heavy-armored swordsman was startled, and then he took the sword silently.
Turning around and coming to a group of Qin army officers, Shi Chishang clasped his fists with both hands, bowed his hands to the ground deeply, and said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, I just got the wonderful method for the first time, and my head was dizzy for a while, and I forgot about the taboos in the world. If you are willing, Shi Chishang I would like to respect you all as my teachers to repay my guilt for stealing from my teachers."
Seeing Shi Chishang bowing to the ground and not getting up, Bai Qifeng's eyes narrowed slightly, showing a bit of a smile. He looked at the fluctuations of the soul fire of many soldiers around him, and it was obvious that he had complicated moods.
A person with such talent can secretly learn a swordsmanship through a sparring session. As long as he does not fall halfway in the future, he will definitely become a giant who dominates the Seven Realms and Liuhe.
Such a promising person is willing to apologize so humbly, and is even more willing to be respected as a teacher. Although these old soldiers have lived for thousands of years, their mentality is still the same as that of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which is the most innocent.
Seeing that Shi Chi Shang was still bent on the ground, a swordsman stepped forward slowly, inserted his sword into the ground in front of him, and said in a hoarse voice: "Today, I am in charge of Qian, and I accept Shi Chi Shang as my disciple. Please ask the marshal to witness.”
Bai Qi nodded gently: "Good."
Another commoner veteran came out: "Today Zhong Yi accepts Shi Chi Shang as his disciple, please ask the marshal to witness."
"Today Dong Hua accepts Shi Shang as his disciple, please ask the marshal to witness."
"Today Fang Lie accepts Shi Chi Shang as his disciple. Please witness it, Marshal."
In just a short moment, hundreds of old soldiers stood around and stood mournfully. Long swords, either incomplete or intact, were inserted into the ground. Pure sword energy filled the world. Bai Qi and Yu turned into dragons and became powerful masters of the sea. , also showed a solemn look on his face.
Looking around at the group of swordsmen, Bai Qi smiled and said loudly: "Today, you accept Shi Chi Shang as your disciple, and the heaven and earth are the witnesses, and I am the witness!"
In an instant, hundreds of sword intentions penetrated the sky, and the essence of kendo that had been accumulated for thousands of years was poured into Shi Chishang's body, continuously refining the foundation of kendo that he had just formed.
Become a disciple of Hundred Ghosts! The way of swordsmanship feeds each other!
